I agree that it is controversial but I think that study is better than many of the others. None of the studies on this issue are without controversy from what I've seen
Part of the reason I made this tool is so people could input their own assumptions rather than just relying on somewhat opaque studies. I personally was surprised to see how big the effect of discount rate was -- it made me reconsider my position on whether more drug dev should be publicly funded. I think the effect of cost of capital on drug price is under-discussed in some of these studies
