AØKK08331U Seminar: Health economic analysis
MSc programme of Economics
The seminar is primary for students at the MSc of
Economics
Following the course will enable the student to understand:
economic valuation of life and health; approaches o the economic valuation of health; the methodology and theoretical backgrounds of the various health analysis approaches; how the different analysis approaches are used.
The various approaches to economic evaluation of health compare the benefits of a health intervention to its cost. We shall focus on comparing health interventions with benefits measured in a one-dimensional scale to status quo and to other interventions; and to compare health interventions with benefits (utility) measured in units of a cardinal utility function with status quo and other interventions; and also to compare interventions, where benefit is measured in money units.
Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA);
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA);
Cost-Utility Analysis (CUA);
Theoretical background of the above; Applied use of CBA, CEA and CUA.
