Quality- and productivity-adjusted life years: From QALYs to PALYs and beyond
构建了一个统一框架来测量和评估健康与生产力，提出了介于传统质量调整生命年（QALY）和生产力调整生命年（PALY）之间的评价函数，为同时影响健康和生产力的干预措施（如医疗、职业健康与安全政策）提供了新的规范基础。
We develop a unified framework for the measurement and valuation of health and productivity. Within this framework, we characterize evaluation functions allowing for compromises between the classical quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and its polar productivity-adjusted life years (PALYs). Our framework and characterization results provide a new normative basis for the economic evaluation of health care interventions, as well as occupational health and safety policies, aimed to impact both health and productivity of individuals.
