and Health Care Evaluations, Second Edition Robert J Brent, Fordham University, US Acclaim for the first edition: Cost–benefit analysis is the only method of economic evaluation that can effectively indicate whether a health care treatment or intervention is worthwhile In this thoroughly updated and revised second edition, Robert Brent expands the scope of the field by including the latest concepts and applications throughout all regions of the world This book attempts to strengthen the link between cost–benefit analysis and the mainstream health care evaluation field, which is dominated by non-economists The need to build a bridge between the two is more important than ever before, as the general understanding of cost–benefit analysis appears to have regressed 2014 512 pp
