摘要:We argue that the economic evaluation of health care (cost-benefit analysis) should respect
individual preferences and should incorporate distributional consid- erations. Relying on
individual preferences does not imply subjective welfarism. We propose a particular non-
welfarist approach, based on the concept of equivalent income, and show how it helps to
define distributional weights. We illustrate the feasibility of our approach with empirical
results from a pilot survey.
