• Helping the World's Poorest
  by Jeffrey D. Sachs in The Economist, August 14th-20th, 1999 (CID Policy Paper no. 3)
  
  Amid a world of plenty, the condition of the poorest is getting worse. There is no easy solution, but more could be done.



• Implementing Debt Relief for the HIPCs (pdf file)
  Jeffrey D. Sachs, et. al, August 1999 (CID Policy Paper no. 2)
  
  The Cologne Initiative (hereafter CI) re-opens the international official discussion about the HIPC (highly indebted poor country) debt crisis. Unfortunately, the CI leaves in place many of the serious flaws of the original HIPC initiative of 1996.
  



• The Case for a Vaccine Purchase Fund
  
  Researchers at CID have proposed that the international community should establish a Vaccine Purchase Fund designed to assure pharmaceutical firms of a market if they develop vaccines for tuberculosis, malaria, or HIV, the world’s three most deadly infectious diseases.
