This article models the polio vaccination cessation game, deriving the conditions that support vaccination cessation as an equilibrium, describing the policies and institutions needed to steer countries toward this equilibrium, and presenting crude quantitative estimates of the gains to supporting this equilibrium. 2013-05-16T17:38:53Z 2013-05-16T17:38:53Z 2011-03-30 Journal Article World Bank Economic Review 1564-698X http://hdl.handle.net/10986/13443 en_US World Bank Economic Review;24(3) CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank Journal Article
