Vaccine selection strategies and their implications for individual versus population well-being
INTRODUCTION: Early constraints on vaccine supply during the COVID-19 pandemic prompted many public health leaders to recommend taking the first vaccine available, though many individuals chose to wait for a 'more effective' vaccine. This indicates a potential tension between the vaccination strategy that individuals find in their own best interest and the one that maximises population well-being. METHODS: We integrate a mathematical epidemiologi…

The Global Burden of the Covid-19 Pandemic
This article discusses the difference between benefit–cost analysis (BCA) and social welfare analysis in the evaluation of pandemic preparedness policies. Two social welfare approaches are considered: utilitarianism and prioritarianism. BCA sums the individuals’ monetary equivalents of the pandemic impacts. Social welfare analysis aggregates individuals’ well-being impacts. The aggregation rule identifies the normative judgments about what is fai…
From Benefit–Cost Analysis to Social Welfare
Conventional benefit–cost analysis is well-established and widely used to assess interventions designed to improve public health and welfare. While it has many advantages, it has well-known limitations. Chief among these is its inattention to the distributional equity of the impacts. To measure individual well-being, the conventional approach relies on individuals’ willingness to exchange their own income for the outcomes they experience. To meas…
Protecting the poor with a carbon tax and equal per capita dividend
Climate action with revenue recycling has benefits for poverty, inequality and well-being
Prioritarianism and Climate Change
The importance of health co-benefits under different climate policy cooperation frameworks
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions has the ‘co-benefit’ of also reducing air pollution and associated impacts on human health. Here, we incorporate health co-benefits into estimates of the optimal climate policy for three different climate policy regimes. The first fully internalizes the climate externality at the global level via a uniform carbon price (the ‘cooperative equilibrium’), thus minimizing total mitigation costs. The second connects to…
The Societal Value of Vaccination in the Age of Covid-19
In recent years, academics and policymakers have increasingly recognized that the full societal value of vaccination encompasses broad health, economic, and social benefits beyond avoided morbidity and mortality due to infection by the targeted pathogen and limited health care costs. Nevertheless, standard economic evaluations of vaccines continue to focus on a relatively narrow set of health-centric benefits, with consequences for vaccination po…
The Social Cost of Carbon
We analyze the role of ethical values in the determination of the social cost of carbon, arguing that the familiar debate about discounting is too narrow. Other ethical issues are equally important to computing the social cost of carbon, and we highlight inequality, risk, and population ethics. Although the usual approach, in the economics of costbenefit analysis for climate policy, is confined to a utilitarian axiology, the methodology of the so…
