Initially, China did not agree to join the alliance, after missing an early deadline to join in September. The United States, for example, has booked 800 million doses through six developers. China could be trying to ensure that the vaccines it is developing find a global platform. World Health Organization says the COVAX Facility will also maintain a buffer of doses for emergency and humanitarian use, including dealing with severe outbreaks before they spiral out of control.

U.S. economists Paul Milgrom and Robert Wilson have won the Nobel Economics Prize 2020 for work on commercial auctions, including for goods and services hard to sell in traditional ways such as radio frequencies, the Nobel Committee said.

The United States, for example, has booked 800 million doses through six developers. These vaccines will be delivered equally to all participating countries, proportional to their populations, initially prioritising healthcare workers then expanding to cover 20% of the population of participating countries.

Wilson's work led to the theory of a common value , which is the best estimate of what an item is worth that bidders then try to set their offers below to avoid overpaying. Using auction theory, it is possible to explain how these three factors govern the bidders' strategic behaviour and thus the auction's outcome. Last year, Indian-American economist Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo, both of MIT, and Michael Kremer of Harvard were honored for more than 20 years of economic research to ...

To date, China has not yet published any late-stage information about any of its vaccine candidates, despite starting to use some more broadly in targeted populations. The initiative is designed so that richer countries agree to buy into potential vaccines and help finance access for poorer ones, but critical questions remain about how its goal will be carried out.

Paul R. Milgrom , born 1948 in Detroit, USA. Both are academics at Stanford University in the US. Shirley and Leonard Ely Jr. Professor of Humanities and Sciences, Stanford University, USA.
