Presentation: This course is designed to give students a clear
understanding of the different approaches to the valuation of life and
health and their relationship to standard economic theory.
Objectives: At the end of the course, participants should have acquired
the following capabilities:
(1) Know how to design a cost-effectiveness and a cost-utility study,
estimate opportunity costs that can replace observed prices whenever
necessary and be able to define common outcome measures.
(2) Be able to understand the properties of human capital-based,
cost-effectiveness, cost-utility, and cost-benefit analysis in the light
of economic welfare theory.
(3) Understand the major properties of the open-ended and closed-ended
(discrete choice) contingent valuation approach as well as of the
conjoint analysis approach.
The course is part of the a series of five modules offered as the
International PhD Programme in Health Economics and Policy intended for
