There is a positive relationship between the health of a nation and its economic prosperity. However, in evaluating health care, economists typically concentrate on the economic impact only to the health (care) sector, which may mis-specify the social costs and benefits of a disease or intervention. This paper demonstrates the value of using a macroeconomic approach to modelling a major health problem, using the context of antimicrobial resistance and the application of the computable general equilibrium technique. This approach is described in detail and its 'added value' demonstrated in the case of AMR.
一个国家的健康状况与其经济繁荣之间存在着积极的关系。然而，在评估医疗保健时，经济学家通常只关注对卫生（保健）部门的经济影响，这可能会错误地确定一种疾病或干预措施的社会成本和收益。本文以抗菌素耐药性为背景，运用可计算一般均衡技术，展示了使用宏观经济方法对一个主要健康问题进行建模的价值。本文详细描述了这种方法，并在抗菌素耐药性的案例中展示了其“附加值”。
