Economic evaluation, in the context of health technology assessment, provides the decision makers with a framework for assessing the costs and benefits of various competing options, to inform fair and efficient use of limited healthcare resources. Prof Tony Culyer explains in this presentation: Why do we do economic evaluation?

Prof Culyer is the Chair of the iDSI Steering Group; Chair in Economics at University of York; Ontario Research Chair in Health Policy and System Design at University of Toronto; and founding Vice Chair of NICE.
