Mark Pauly on welfare economics: normative rabbits from positive hats
Article Abstract:
Mark Pauly wrote an editorial comment on a 1994 paper authored by R. Labelle, G. Stoddart and T. Rice which discussed the meaning and significant of supplier-induced demand. In his essay, Pauly dismissed as irrelevant an approach that is used in evaluating social structures in health care that other researchers believe are an effective normative framework. However, his interpretation of welfare economics as a source of normative propositions is problematic.

A new and more robust test of QALYs
Article Abstract:
A new and more robust test of quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) is conducted since the previous tests only concentrated on expected utility, which is described to be inaccurate. The findings suggest that if nonexpected utility formulas are used to compute health state utilities, the QALYs may be valid.
