Abstract

Life sciences and healthcare enterprises represent the largest industry in the U.S. economy. Given the importance of this sector, there is increasing demand for financial valuation of both publicly and privately held companies. At the same time, accurate valuation is particularly difficult in light of shifting business models, the current economy, intellectual property rights issues, continuous innovation in the sector, changing population demographics, quality issues, and government involvement in healthcare debate, discussion, and regulation. Herein, we examine the changing and increasingly problematic valuation of life sciences and healthcare enterprises that have obvious importance from a social welfare perspective.
