Economic foundations of cost-effectiveness analysis
Article Abstract:
The principles and implications necessary for the evaluation of medical interventions in the application of cost-effectiveness (CE) analysis has been studied using a standard von Neumann-Morgenstern utility framework. Results showed that CE analysis, within the von Neumann-Morgenstern utility framework, can be used in resource allocation decisions and in choosing health interventions. However, comparison of CE to a particular intervention gives little help in resource allocation decisions.
