Comparing benefit cost with cost effectiveness analysis, cost effectiveness

  • A.requires a higher discount rate to be used
  • B.avoids valuing the benefit but cannot judge worth
  • C.values the benefit and can judge worth
  • D.avoids valuing the benefit and can still judge worth

Answer: B

Correct answer: avoids valuing the benefit but cannot judge worth

This is the trade the method makes. Not having to price the outcome is exactly what makes cost effectiveness usable for health, safety and defence, where valuation is contentious or impossible. The price of that convenience is that it can rank alternatives but cannot say whether any of them is worth its cost.
