Description

RDS 282 is an intermediate-level course that interrogates the underlying theory and policy implications of economic evaluation concepts and methods. Topics discussed include: 1) theoretical basis for measuring and valuing health outcomes; 2) approaches for estimating costs in economic evaluation; 3) practical issues related to cost-effectiveness analysis, such as estimating cost-effectiveness thresholds; and 4) advanced topics in economic evaluation, such as equity-impact analyses. The course is anchored by four case study discussions that feature elements of economic evaluation listed above.
