Theory and Methods of Economic Evaluation of Health Care
Series: Developments in Health Economics and Public Policy, Vol. 4

Most economic evaluations of health care programmes at the moment are cost-
effectiveness and cost-utility analyses. The problem with these methods is that their
theoretical foundations are unclear. This has led to confusion about how to define
the costs and health effects and how to interpret the results of these studies. In the
environmental and traffic safety fields it is instead common to carry out traditional cost-
bene:fit analyses of health improving programmes. This striking difference in how health
programmes are assessed in different fields was the original motivation for writing
this book. The aim of the book is to tty and provide a coherent framework within cost-
bene:fit analysis and welfare economics for the different methods of economic evaluation
in the health care field. The book is written in an easily accessible manner and several
examples of applications of the different methods are provided. It is my hope that it will
be useful both for teaching purposes and as a guide for practitioners in the field. Glenn
C. Blomquist, John D. Graham, Rich O'Conor and four anonymous referees provided
helpful comments on previous versions of the manuscript. I would also like to express my
1996, XIII, 247 p. gratitude to the following persons for helping me to prepare the manuscript: Carl-Magnus
Berglund, Carin Blanksvard, Ann Brown, and Ziad Obeid.
