This paper outlines relevant literature, makes pragmatic near-term recommendations, and suggests longer-term directions for research to enhance the potential to apply economy-wide modeling approaches to health and environmental improvements in low and middle income country settings. The authors describe a case study funded by the Uganda Ministry of Water and Environment, with World Bank support, that evaluates a broad set of planned health and environmental interventions, separately and together, over 25 years and considers impacts…

This is one of two case studies that was conducted to support the Benefit-Cost Analysis Reference Case Workshop, held on November 2-3, 2017, which is part of the second phase of a project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to develop guidelines for high quality benefit-cost analyses. These guidelines will provide a reference case that promotes comparability across analyses, and will include principles, methodological specifications, and reporting standards. They will build on the existing iDSI…

Benefit-cost analysis focuses on estimating aggregate net effects. Decision-makers and other stakeholders also want to know who is harmed, who is helped, and by how much. Responding to these questions requires identifying the characteristics of individuals and impacts of concern, examining how the benefits and…

Working PaperPublication 2018Valuing Nonfatal Health Risk Reductions
This paper explores approaches for valuing nonfatal risk reductions associated with policy choices in low- …
This paper explores approaches for valuing nonfatal risk reductions associated with policy choices in low- and middle-income countries. The approach for valuation ideally would be based on estimates of individuals’ willingness to pay for changes in their own risks. However, high quality valuation research is not available for many nonfatal conditions even in high-income settings. Typically, two approaches are used either alone or in combination as rough proxies. The first involves applying an estimate of…
