Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second chapter uses a similar instrument based upon the experience of visitors to a region to estimate the impact of spending on hospital mortality for individuals with life-threatening illnesses. The estimates can easily be reinterpreted as cost-effectiveness ratios and indicate that additional spending on the illnesses considered is likely to have a measurable, albeit small, impact on hospital mortality rates.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My dissertation Three Essays on Cost-effectiveness of Promotion of Health Goods and the Linkage Between Health and Education in Developing Countries: Evidence from China focuses on developing innovative ways to design and evaluate policies that deliver subsidized health goods to low income populations as well as the interactions of health and education initiatives in developing countries. I study these issues through field experiments applying both reduced form and structural estimation methods to empirically test relevant microeconomic theory and to evaluate the impacts of potential policy options. The cost-effectiveness of policies providing welfare-enhancing products for free or at highly subsidized prices is often compromised by the fact that many individuals do not use the products provided. In my first dissertation chapter Ordeal Mechanisms and Training in the Provision of Subsidized Products in Developing Countries, my coauthors and I use a randomized field experiment to test two policy instruments designed to improve the cost-effectiveness of a program to distribute free eyeglasses to myopic children in rural China. Requiring recipients to undergo ordeal mechanism (redeeming a voucher) to acquire eyeglasses targeted eyeglasses to those who would use them without reducing uptake. A training program that addressed misinformation concerning the use of eyeglasses increased use when eyeglasses were freely distributed but not when an ordeal was required. Free distribution with training dominates other policies in both programmatic and social cost-effectiveness, both in terms of increasing the percentage of myopic children using eyeglasses and in improving the average lines of visual acuity. When myopic students make decisions about whether to own and/or use glasses, peer effects might play a role in their decision-making. In in my second dissertation chapter Estimating Peer Effects: A Structural Econometric Model Using a Field Experiment of a Health Promotion Program in Rural China, my coauthors and I take advantage of a large-scale field experiment that provides free eyeglasses and training to 3,177 myopic students in rural China, and from which we collected three rounds of glasses ownership and usage data. We estimate peer effects using both reduced-form models and structural models of both the ownership decision and the usage decision; as well as a structural model of the multi-stage timing game in which the first stage is the decision to own glasses and, conditional on deciding to own, the second stage is the decision to use glasses. In the multi-stage model, our preferred model, we find that the fraction of all peers who own glasses has a significant positive effect on the payoff to a myopic student from using glasses. The peer effect is roughly half as important as partially relieving the liquidity constraint combined with providing a training program; completely relieving the liquidity constraint; or completely relieving the liquidity constraint combined with providing a training program.The first two essays study how to promote vision care among myopic student. In my third dissertation chapter, Improving Learning by Improving Vision: Evidence from Two Randomized Controlled Trials of Providing Vision Care in China, I present empirical evidence examining the causal link between the provision of vision care on educational performance of school-aged children in two difference school settings in China: public schools in a rural area of Western China and private schools for migrant communities in Eastern China. Overall, I find a significant impact in Intention-to-Treat analysis and a large and significant Local Effect (LATE) of providing free eyeglasses and vision care training to students with poor vision in Western China but not in Eastern China. The difference in impact between two settings is not a matter of underpowered experimental design or low compliance. Instead, I find that the lack of impact in Eastern China is due to a lower quality educational environment, including both lower resources and teacher quality. Overall, my findings are in line with the literature that finds that a causal pathway linking a health intervention and learning outcomes can be clearly identified only when school quality is sufficiently high.

Download or read book Cost benefit Analysis and Health Care Evaluations written by Robert J. Brent and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Brent s book is a superb and much-needed text in the field of health care evaluation. The economic approaches for appraisal of health care programs are presented with greater clarity than any other available text. A comprehensive review of cost-minimization, cost-effectiveness analysis, cost utility analysis, and cost benefit analysis is given in a simple and yet very insightful manner that pointedly demonstrates their fundamental principles, methodological requirements, and common linkages for evaluation research. The book skilfully merges theory and application of the economic analyses of health care, combining the latest literature with adroit illustrations of required methodologies and easily understandable examples that inform the reader of how empirical evaluation research should be conducted. Major evaluation concerns about the appropriateness of discounting health benefits, the appropriate discount (interest) rate, and intangible benefits and costs are critically appraised. Not only is the criterion of economic efficiency of health care programs explored directly and with lucidity, but the important social question of the equity of health interventions is also assessed straightforwardly. Students of health care as well as health policy analysts and administrators are provided with a considerable solid foundation for undertaking evaluation of complex health care issues. In short, Professor Brent has even made the economics of health care evaluation accessible to non-economists in the health care field. Paul L. Solano, University of Delaware, US Cost benefit analysis is the only method of economic evaluation which can effectively indicate whether a health care treatment or intervention is worthwhile. This book attempts to build a bridge between cost benefit analysis, as developed by economists, and the health care evaluation literature which relies on other evaluation approaches such as cost-minimization, cost-effectiveness analysis and cost utility analysis. Robert Brent explains the many different ways in which these other valuation techniques can be converted into cost benefit analysis and examines both the traditional (human capital) and modern (willingness to pay) approaches. Case studies are used throughout to explain and illustrate the various methodologies being examined. The author follows an applied economics approach, in which methods and ideas are evaluated according to practicability and not according to their theoretical purity. Ultimately, he resolves a number of disputes and makes some new, but subtle, contributions by reinterpreting, correcting and extending existing work. The book covers the topic in an accessible manner, from the foundations to the frontiers of the field, and clearly explains all the necessary economic principles along the way. Cost Benefit Analysis and Health Care Evaluations will be invaluable to students and researchers of economics, public policy and health care policy, as well as policymakers and health care practitioners. It can also be used as a comprehensive introductory text by anyone with an interest in cost benefit analysis.
