Distributional Cost-Effectiveness Analysis. Quantifying Health Equity Impacts and Trade-Offs
Distributional Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Comes of Age
Distributional cost-effectiveness analysis (DCEA) provides information about the equity impacts of health technologies and programs and the trade-offs that sometimes arise between equity and efficiency. This field has now come of age with a growing applied literature,1 new training resources,2 and a formal professional network: a special interest group on equity-informative economic evaluation within the International Health Economics Association
