With the Supreme Court set to hear Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA Inc. v. Amarin Pharma, Inc., key questions are coming into focus. How might the Court's decision reshape strategies for brand-name and generic manufacturers? And what risks will companies face when marketing “skinny label” products?
A new policy brief from the Eira Initiative, "The Economics of Skinny Labels," explores these issues -- and examines what’s at stake for patients, generic manufacturers, innovators, and policymakers.
The bottom line: The best path forward preserves timely generic entry while maintaining strong incentives for post-approval innovation.

Survival Guide for the STEM Research and Education Enterprise at US Universities
A working group of experts assembled in early 2026 to author a practical guide for universities in the United States.
The paper analyzes the rising global competition facing US research universities in recent decades and the degree to which universities have increased internal resources directed to research. These trends provide background context for the Trump Administration’s 2025 reductions in Federal research funding for individual universities and the sector at large. Actual and potential government budget cuts have shifted a slowly unsustainable path into an urgent fiscal crisis at many institutions.
The paper recommends four ways in which US research universities need to immediately respond to this crisis even as they prepare to make longer term strategic choices. The descriptions of the four preparatory actions are followed by five actions to cope with reduced Federal research funding, all of which will require exceptional intentionality from most university leadership and boards. The paper closes with supporting policy and practice changes needed to enable adaptive strategic action.
