In the example, the pharmaceutical companies which develop an eligible vaccine would benefit from the high $ 15 price for the first 200 million doses, but would have to provide all further doses at a low price, like $ 1 per dose. This stipulation ensures that the product stays affordable for developing countries in the long run.

Advance market agreements are a form of “pull incentive”, which refers to a class of innovation incentives where payments are conditioned on outputs or outcomes. Examples of pull mechanisms include advance market commitments, prizes, and patents. They contrast with “push incentives”, such as grants,

In 2021, development consulting firm
Dalberg published a report evaluating the impact of the AMC. The report did not find evidence that the AMC sped up the creation of new vaccines. However, the AMC led manufacturers to develop multi-dose vials, which helped drive down cost per dose. Despite initial

Advance purchase agreements (APAs), like AMCs, are a tool to incentivize capacity and R&D by reducing demand uncertainty. APAs involve a sponsor pre-committing to buy a certain volume of a product at a pre-specified price. However, unlike AMCs, APAs are generally signed with specific

Innovation prizes are another form of R&D pull incentive, whereupon payment is conditioned on some technical achievement. Examples of innovation prizes include the
