Economy-Wide Effects of Health and Environmental Interventions in Support of BCA
2017
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 of each GDP and overall income.
This paper is one in a series of methods papers which will ultimately be used to develop guidance on the conduct of benefit-cost analysis in global health and development.
