Time preferences for health gains: An empirical investigation
通过挪威两项调查,测量普通人群和卫生规划者对未来健康收益的贴现率,为医疗项目经济评估提供依据。
The purpose of this study was to elicit the implied discount rates to be used in economic evaluations of health care programmes. The paper presents results from two Norwegian surveys in which a random sample of the population and a sample of health planners were asked to prioritise between alternative health care programmes, and make trade-offs between future health gains and more immediate gains. The questionnaire had four hypothetical choice situations; two for life saving and two for health improvement.
