Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Beyond Cost-Effectiveness: Insights for Effective Altruism from Health Economics, published by TomDrake on June 1, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum.Hi Everyone - partly inspired by attending the recent EA Global London conference a couple of weeks ago, I've written a CGD Blog with some thoughts on EA's approach to prioritisation and methods in health economics (specifically Health Technology Assessment). This is a link post and as CGD staff I have to post on our platform, but since the key target audience is EAs, I'd be delighted to hear thoughts from this community. I'll be sure to monitor the comments section and perhaps the discussion will feed into future work.The differences between EA and health econ I highlight include:1. Approaches generalising cost-effectiveness evidence 2. Going beyond cost-effectiveness in determining value3. Deliberative appraisal4. Institutionalisation of a participatory processPlease click through for the full blog.Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org
