COST EFFECTIVENESS
ANALYSIS
1
Cost Effectiveness Analysis
• Cost effectiveness analysis (CEA) looks at a single quantified
effectiveness measure of the cost per unit. For example, the cost in
dollars of a life saved, the least cost way of supplying electricity or
water to a community.
• Used heavily in social programs and projects where identification and
quantification of benefits in money terms is not straightforward but, at
the same time, the desirability of the activity is not in question.
• For example, in the case of health care:
- What is the best way to prevent heart attacks?
- What drugs are most cost effective in the treatment of illness?
- What is the least cost way of providing nutrition to poor children?
- Which of the programs is most cost effective for AIDS
prevention?
2
Cost Effectiveness Analysis (cont’d)
• Examples of application to other areas:
– Choosing from two school systems that give same education
benefits
• Centralized schools that require bus transportation and more
expensive smaller schools to which students can walk.
– Two types of court systems
• More court rooms at the headquarters or mobile courts.
– Alternative ways of supplying potable water to communities.
– Alternative technologies to generate electricity
• Thermal vs hydro; single vs combined cycle plant
• The objective is to compare costs per unit of outcome of alternative
approaches or technologies that will provide the same service for
purposes of capital budgeting.
3
Cost Effectiveness Analysis (cont’d)
• The focus of a cost-effectiveness analysis is on evaluating the
costs of the alternatives.
• The analysis involves the measurement of benefits in some
kind of quantifiable manner (e.g., lives saved, schooling years
increased, additional water consumed) and then compare the
effectiveness of alternative options to deliver the project or
program:
– Computing the ratio of costs (Ci) to its benefit (Ei), for
example, dollars per school seat.
– Alternatively, measuring the effectiveness (Ei) in terms of its
cost (Ci).
4
Costs Assessment
• While computing cost-effectiveness ratio for a particular project,
attention should be paid to the treatment of costs, which include not
only financial but also social and economic costs.
• In the education sector, the enhancement of primary schooling is
sometimes viewed in terms of the additional number of schools
blocks and improvement of their physical condition. But any programs
of developing school systems must also take into account the cost of
additional teaching personnel, teaching materials and regular
maintenance costs.
• For health projects, analysts should identify capital costs
(expenditures for hospital/clinic, equipment, and training), recurrent
expenditures (costs for administrators, doctors, nurses, lab
technicians, unskilled support, and other staff), and indirect costs
(patients’ time and travel).
5
Discounting
• Although cost effectiveness analysis does not place a
monetary value on the benefits, the project’s benefits
(effectiveness) has to be discounted to the same year as
the discounted costs.
• Both the costs and units of effectiveness should be
discounted by the same rate.

• The cost-effectiveness ratios are computed for each of the
alternatives and then the analyst can rank the alternatives
and take a decision.
6
Discounting in Health Care Evaluation
• Currently a 3% discount rate used in both costs and benefits by
convention is far too low.
• As most health interventions need to be continued through time
(e.g. drugs), the discount rate is not too critical as most costs
and benefits occur in the same period.
• Discounting, however, is very important when capital
expenditures are involved such as construction of clinics,
hospital, or equipment of CAT scan, MRI machines.
• Failure to discount future health benefits and costs properly can
lead to paradoxical results.
7
CEA Can Be Used in Two Forms:
Method 1: Constant Effects
• Uses least-cost analysis to determine the lowest cost alternative for
meeting the same level of benefits, including intangible benefits.
• Selection criteria is “choose the alternative that has the lowest
present value of costs.”
– The outcome may be a function of the rate of discount and may
switch with change in discount rate.
• Example:
– Choosing from two types of water pipes of different diameters that yield
the same quantity and quality of water per day (smaller pipe has lower
investment cost but higher operating or pumping costs),
– Selecting from two alternatives for generating the same amount of
electricity (thermal and hydro generation units, the former with a lower
investment and higher operating cost compared to the latter).

Method 2: Cost-Effectiveness Ratio
–
Calculates the cost per unit of benefit. Both
benefits and costs vary across alternatives.
–
Example:
Benefits are simply measured as the number of
Premature Deaths Prevented.
•
•
Two different health programs: DPT-BCG vaccination
campaign for children or AIDS treatment program for infected
patients.
The cost per child vaccination and per patient will be
computed in this case. Here the purpose is to see which
program yields more value per dollar of expenditure.

Incremental (or Marginal)
Cost-Effectiveness Ratio
• The decision makers need to compute incremental (or marginal) costeffectiveness ratios.
• This need arises when a new alternative is compared with the
existing situation.
• The numerator now contains the difference between the cost of the
new and old alternatives, and the denominator is also the difference
between the effectiveness of the new and old alternatives:
Ci CO
MarginalCE i
Ei EO
• This ratio can be interpreted as the incremental cost per unit of
effectiveness. When there are several alternatives available, the
marginal cost-effectiveness ratio can be used to rank the new
measures versus the existing one.

Limitations of CEA
1. Does not measure willingness to Pay
• CEAs are a poor measure of consumers’ willingness to pay as the
output or benefit is not priced in the market nor is the output
considered homogeneously.
• What is the willingness to pay for the additional “drug addicts
treated”?
• The number of addicts treated may not be the best approximation of
the value of the final outcome (i.e., consequential crime reduction may
also be important for the taxpayers).
• The link between the intermediate measure of effectiveness and final
output, such as reduction in crime, is not explicitly stated.
• Faced with this kind of situation, the analyst must make sure that this
link is properly established. Even with this link, it is hard to know the
value of the final outcome if no market value is placed.
15
Limitations of CEA (cont’d)
2. Excludes some external benefits
• The concept of CEA excludes most externalities on the benefits
side.
• On the benefit side, the CEA looks only at a single benefit and all
other benefits are essentially ignored.
- An improvement in education will not only increase life-time
earnings of the students but also contribute to a reduction in
the rates of unemployment and crime.
- In healthcare, there are external benefits due to such
treatments as the vaccination of children, i.e. other people do
not catch the infection diseases.
• The above issue will not occur for a complete CBA. The analyst
doing the CEA should be careful not to exclude important benefits
arising from a particular project.
16
Limitations of CEA (cont’d)
3. Excludes some external costs
• While computing the cost-effectiveness ratio for a particular project,
attention is paid to the treatment of costs, which should include not
only financial but also social costs.
• In the education sector, the enhancement of primary schooling is
sometimes viewed in terms of the additional number of school
blocks and improvement of their physical conditions. Many other
costs must be included to get the desired outcome.
• Different types of projects often have some of the costs in nonmonetary terms, such as waiting time, coping costs, enforcement
costs, regulatory costs, compliance costs, etc.
• The economic CEA carried out for such projects must account for all
costs based on the economic instead of financial prices of goods
and services.
17
Limitations of CEA (cont’d)
4. Does not account for scale of project
• Scale differences may distort the choice of an “optimal”
decision.
• A project with smaller size but higher efficiency level may get
accepted, while another project may provide more quantity of
output at a reasonable cost.
• A strict CEA fails to overcome this problem.
• A complete CBA does not have this problem because the net
present value already accounts for the differences in size
among alternative projects.

Method
•
Let’s say there are two mutually exclusive options in the choice of medical diagnostic
equipment for a clinic.
•
The first type of machine (A) costs R 50,000 and it can diagnose 200 patients a month.
•
The second option involves more expensive equipment (B), which will cost R 300,000 but
could serve up to 1,150 people a month.
•
The CEA results in the selection of the least costly alternative, option A, which costs R 250
per diagnosis.
•
Option B allows to process almost a six-fold higher number of medical tests a month, at cost
of R 261 per patient.
•
Unless there is a severe budget constraint for implementation of alternative B, this
alternative could be justified even if its average costs are higher than costs of alternative A.
This is because the total benefits that alternative B generates are very much larger than the
benefits of alternative A.
19
Cost-Utility Analysis
• The estimation of benefit in CEA is limited to a single measure of
effectiveness such as reduction of mortality. This simplification
ignores benefits stemming from reduced morbidity and, hence, a
cost utility analysis (CUA) is employed.
• In principle, CUA could be used with multiple outcomes but as the
number of dimensions grows, the complexity of analysis also
increases.
• Practically, CUA has been traditionally utilized in healthcare,
measuring improvement in health as measured by both quantity
(years of life) and quality of healthcare improvement (health status).
• Each type of benefit (Bj) would be assigned its relative importance,
or weight (wj), in the utility:

Types of Economic Evaluation in
Health Sector
• Economic evaluation: compare the resources consumed
with the health consequence.
• The benefit of an intervention is better described as
extending the life span of individuals, rather than
preventing deaths alone.
• Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALY)
- Overall measure of disease burden by combining
years of life lost and years lived with disability
• Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALY)
- Measure of quality of life
21
Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY)
• The DALY index calculates the productive years lost
from the ideal lifespan due to morbidity or premature
mortality – a measure of the combined quantity and
quality of life.
• Reduction of productivity due to morbidity is a function
of the years lived with the disability, and an assigned
weighting.
• It allows both morbidity and mortality to be considered
in a single measure. Nevertheless, it is to some extent
subjective and controversial.
22
Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY)
• QALY is a measure of combining the quantity and quality
of life. It takes one year of perfect health-life expectancy to be
worth 1, but regards one year of less than perfect life
expectancy as less than 1.
• An intervention results in a patient living for four years rather
than dying within one year. Hence, the treatments add 3 years
to the person’s life. However, if the quality of life falls from 1
to 0.5, the treatment generates 1.5 QALY.
• The weights/index are generally obtained through survey or
medical experts in the field.
• QALYs provide an indication of the benefits gained from a
variety of medical procedures in terms of quality, life, and
survival for the patient.

Economic Evaluation of
Education Projects
24
Economic Evaluation of
Education Projects
• Educational projects may have many types of
components, with benefits measurable in both monetary
and non-monetary terms.
• Investment in education generates various in-school and
out-of-school benefits.
• In-school benefits include gains in the efficiency of the
education system.
• Out-of-school benefits include improvement of the
income-earning skills of the students and externalities
(benefits) that accrue to society at large beyond the
project beneficiaries.
25
Evaluating Investments with
In-School Benefits
• In-school benefits include gains in the efficiency of the
education system (e.g., enhance learning, reduce student’s
repeat, reduce crime).
• As in any other enterprise, the production of education
services involves decisions how it combines inputs to
produce the desired objectives.
• Alternative ways to enhance the educational system:
–
–
–
–
Invest in writing and textbook;
Invest in educational software;
Invest in hardware facilities/furniture;
Upgrade teachers.
26
Evaluating Investments with
Out-of-School Benefits
• Out-of school benefits arise after the project’s beneficiaries
finish a course of study or leave a training program.
• The most obvious of such benefits is the gain in the
beneficiaries’ work productivity, as reflected in differences in
pay (or in farm output).
– The difference in outputs between the two groups of
farmers, valued in market prices, can be used to estimate
the economic benefits of investing in primary education.
• In evaluating a project from society’s point of view, the benefits
include gross-of-tax earnings and fringe benefits in the wage
package such as retirement benefits.
• Most of the social benefits are difficult to quantify including
crime reduction, social cohesion, income distribution, possibly
fertility reduction.

The calculation typically involves two steps:
1) estimating the relevant age earnings profiles to obtain the increment
in earnings at each age;
2) discounting the stream of incremental earnings using an appropriate
discount rate.

Cost Effectiveness Analysis of
Investment in Education
32
Investment in Education
• In many developing countries the budget that is allocated
to educational sector is a significant proportion of total
public sector expenditure.
• Allocating the budget efficiently within the Department of
Education is important for both public sector efficiency
and the effectiveness of the delivery of education
services.
33
CEA in Education
• Efficiency in education is affected by many different factors such as:
– Number of available classrooms
– Number of learners in each class
– Level of knowledge and expertise of teachers
– Availability of text books and other facilities
• A serious shortage of classrooms may prevent students from
entering school. It may result in overcrowding, thereby decreasing
the efficiency in learning of students and discouraging them from
attending school.
• A CEA is to find the most efficient use of the given budget allocation
using the limited information available such as the number of
classrooms available in each school district relative to the number of
students in that district.
34
An Example:
Province of Limpopo in South Africa
• In some provinces of South Africa as well as elsewhere in Africa, the
most urgent problem with the primary and secondary school system
is a shortage of classrooms.
• For example, the education system in Limpopo of South Africa has
been suffered from shortage of classroom space. Since 1997 great
efforts have been made to deal with problem. Between 1995-2002,
7,800 classrooms were built. It was expected to take about 10-15
years to overcome the backlog of schools that are needed.
• The issue is how to prioritize the areas where the school classrooms
should be built until the budget is exhausted.
– It is difficult to place monetary value on the annual benefits of an
investment in new classrooms.
– Benefits are related to reduction in students/classrooms ratio
and the number of students affected by the reduction.

Cost-Utility Analysis
• A cost-utility analysis (CUA) is maximizing the overall effectiveness of
public expenditure on school infrastructure by taking into account
important factors.
• Information on key factors available for each school area:
– Number of available classrooms
– Number of learners in the school area and a projection of future
growth of number of learners in the area
– Type of school (Primary or Secondary)
– Location of school (Urban or Rural)
– Support facilities of the existing school
• A CUA approach is to measure a “priority index”, including a
weighted average of all the key factors affecting the project
selection.
38
Calculation of Priority Index
• A “priority index” (PI) can be constructed to include
infrastructure adequacy and other important factors such as
facilities available at school.
PI = Infrastructure Adequacy Factors * Augmenting Adjustment
Backlog of Class-Blocks * weight Backlog
Infrastructure Adequacy Factors =
Excess

*
weight
Excess
Augmenting Adjustment = 1 + Augmenting Factorj* weight j
n
j=1
39
Infrastructure Adequacy
• There are two aspects of infrastructure adequacy: class-block
backlog and the learner-to-classroom ratio.
• (A) Class-block Backlog. The class-room backlog is estimated as
a number of additional buildings, measured by a standard 4-class
block, required at a particular school in order to maintain the
maximum acceptable class size. Weight in PI Index = 0.70.
• (B) Learner-to-Classroom / Target Class Size Ratio. The
overcrowding of classes is measured by the excess of actual class
attendance to the maximum target class size, i.e. by the learner-to-
classroom / target class size ratio. Weight in PI Index = 0.30.

Example
• A mixed sample of both primary and secondary (S3, S4,
and S6) schools in urban and rural areas. All 8 schools
have infrastructure backlogs.
• Different sizes of schools, and different number of
classrooms are currently available.
• The availability of basic facilities varies from location to
location.
• Question: How to rank these schools in terms of their
priority for additional infrastructure?

Efficiency Maximization Rule
• RULE: Because the priority index reflects a number of objectives,
the overall effectiveness of budget spending is maximized when the
funds are forwarded to schools with the highest ranking.
• Since each additional building will alter the current priority index and
ranking of schools, the ranking is recalculated after each new
addition of class-rooms or changes in support facilities and the type
of school.
• It is a multi-stage selection process until the budget is exhausted.
