demandPriceTaker: Demand curve for a price-taking country

In jc-castillo/vaccineEarlyInvest: Investment in Early Manufacturing Capacity for Vaccines

Description

Builds the demand curve for a price-taking country

Usage

demandPriceTaker(
  parameters = NULL,
  population,
  gdp_pc,
  frac_high_risk,
  loss2yr,
  prices = seq(100, 1, -1),
  inisteps = c(10, 1),
  mainstep = 0.1,
  candidateFile = NULL,
  verbose = 0
)

Arguments

parameters	Parameters object with model parameters
population	Country population (in millions)
gdp_pc	Country GDP per capita (in thousand $)
frac_high_risk	Fraction of population that is high risk
loss2yr	Cumulative percent of GDP lost because of pandemic over two years
prices	Vector of market price for manufacturing capacity ($ per course / year)
inisteps	Step sizes to optimize over for the initial point
mainstep	Step size for main optimization
candidateFile	File with candidate data
verbose	How much output to produce. 0 means no output, 1 means limited output, 2 means full output.

Value

List with information on demand curve. Includes a data.table with total demand, benefits, and cost, and a matrix with demand for individual candidates at every price

                   frac_high_risk=frac_high_risk,
