为了解决争议的成本效益分析的应用,我们调查的原则,该技术的基础上,并讨论了医疗干预措施的评价的影响。使用一个标准的冯诺依曼-摩根斯坦效用框架,我们展示了如何成本效益的标准,可以得出指导资源配置决策,以及它如何随年龄,性别,收入水平和风险厌恶。虽然成本效益分析可以是一个有用的和强大的工具,资源分配的决定,一个统一的成本效益标准,适用于异质人口水平是不可能产生帕累托最优的资源分配。
To address controversies in the application of cost-effectiveness analysis, we investigate the principles underlying the technique and discuss the implications for the evaluation of medical interventions. Using a standard von Neumann-Morgenstern utility framework, we show how a cost-effectiveness criterion can be derived to guide resource allocation decisions, and how it varies with age, gender, income level, and risk aversion. Although cost-effectiveness analysis can be a useful and powerful tool for resource allocation decisions, a uniform cost-effectiveness criterion that is applied to a heterogeneous population level is unlikely to yield Pareto-optimal resource allocations.
