Hello fellow Ramesesians,
I and other colleagues (Rebecca Hardwick, Mark Pearson and Richard Byng) are writing a paper about the complementarity (or otherwise) of realist evaluation and economic evaluation methods, with a view to proposing what a ‘realist economic
evaluation’ might look like. We are aware of one or two examples where researchers have explicitly attempted to use realist research approaches to address questions of cost-effectiveness/efficiency, or to explain the effectiveness of ‘economic interventions’.
Could you please let me know of any examples of:
1.
Realist evaluations explicitly seeking to explain the cost-effectiveness and/or cost/resource implications of particular interventions/programmes?
2.
Realist evaluations which revealed key intervention Mechanisms or key Contexts that were inherently economic or cost-related in some way?
3.
Any other publications that you think may me highly relevant to the topic of our paper?
Have good weekends all!
Thanks and kind regards,
Rob
