Resumen de Dangling a carrot for vaccines.
This article profiles economist Michael Kremer, who advocates the use of advanced market commitments (AMCs), in which donors agree to pay high prices for vaccines on condition that they later be sold cheaply to poor nations. Poor nations labor under the weight of malaria, AIDS, tuberculosis and a score of diseases lesser known in rich countries, but they cannot afford to pay the prices companies want for drugs. Whereas some might denounce the pharmaceutical industry's profit seeking, Kremer wants to harness it.
