一个国家的健康与其经济繁荣之间存在着积极的关系。然而，在评估卫生保健时，经济学家通常只关注对卫生（保健）部门的经济影响，这可能会错误地指定疾病或干预措施的社会成本和收益。本文展示了使用宏观经济方法来模拟一个主要的健康问题的价值，使用的背景下，抗菌素耐药性和可计算的一般均衡技术的应用。详细介绍了这种方法，并在AMR案例中展示了其“附加值”。(c)2005 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
There is a positive relationship between the health of a nation and its economic prosperity. However, in evaluating health care, economists typically concentrate on the economic impact only to the health (care) sector, which may mis-specify the social costs and benefits of a disease or intervention. This paper demonstrates the value of using a macroeconomic approach to modelling a major health problem, using the context of antimicrobial resistance and the application of the computable general equilibrium technique. This approach is described in detail and its 'added value' demonstrated in the case of AMR. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
