The centerpiece of the November Health Affairs Journal Club meeting is "Estimating The Appropriate Size Of Global Pull Incentives For Antibacterial Medicines." In the paper, to appear in the November 2021 issue of the journal, author Kevin Outterson of the Boston University School of Law, examines policy initiatives under way in the US and UK that explore paying for exceptional antibacterials with "pull" incentives (paid after regulatory approval). The paper lays out a new model for calculating the global incentives required to create a functional antibacterial market, and on November 10, Mr. Outterson will talk in detail about his research, methods, and conclusions.
