Compensation mechanisms and multiplier effects significantly impact productivity cost estimates in health economic evaluations. However, current evidence is scarce, with unclear definitions and measurement methods, necessitating further research.
Area of Science:
- Health Economics
- Economic Evaluation
- Productivity Loss Estimation
Background:
- Compensation mechanisms and multiplier effects influence productivity losses from illness, disability, or death.
- These factors are crucial for estimating productivity costs in health economic evaluations.
- This review examines their inclusion in health economic evaluations.
Conclusions:
- Compensation mechanisms and multiplier effects significantly impact productivity losses and costs.
- Uncertainty regarding their features, measurement, and valuation hinders their inclusion in economic evaluations.
- Further research is warranted to clarify these phenomena and their application.
