这项研究衡量了埃塞俄比亚提格雷家庭对预防疟疾的货币价值。我们估计了假设的疟疾疫苗的家庭需求函数，并将预防疟疾的价值计算为家庭为所有家庭成员提供疫苗的最大支付意愿。这与传统的疾病成本（医疗费用和生产力损失）形成鲜明对比。我们的结果表明，每户每年通过疫苗预防疟疾的价值约为 36 美元，约占家庭年收入的 15%。平均而言，这大约是家庭预期疾病成本的两倍。 (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
This study measures the monetary value households place on preventing malaria in Tigray, Ethiopia. We estimate a household demand function for a hypothetical malaria vaccine and compute the value of preventing malaria as the household's maximum willingness to pay to provide vaccines for all family members. This is contrasted with the traditional costs of illness (medical costs and lost productivity). Our results indicate that the value of preventing malaria with vaccines is about US$36 per household per year, or about 15% of imputed annual household income. This is, on average, about twice the expected household cost of illness. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
