Scott Barrett makes the economic case for disease eradication as
over against long term disease control in this article from the Bulletin of
the World Health Organization. This article is also available at
http://www.who.int/bulletin/volumes/82/9/683.pdf
One point not always mentioned in discussions is the savings to
industrialized countries from eradication. According to Barrett,
"high-income countries typically benefit so much that they will
be willing to finance elimination
in developing countries. Full financing of an eradication
effort by nation-states is not always guaranteed,
but it can be facilitated by a variety of means. Hence, from
the perspective of economics and international
relations, eradication has a number of advantages over
control."
