▼ Introduction: There is a high prevalence of drug-related problems (DRPs) in community-dwelling residents which results in increased morbidity, mortality and healthcare expenditure. The Australian government has reimbursed pharmacists to identify and prevent or resolve DRPs through Home Medicines Reviews (HMRs) in these patients since 2001. Funding for the HMR program was based on studies undertaken prior to its implementation that indicated HMRs would be cost-effective due to reductions in drug costs and health service utilisation. Since the introduction of the program, there has been limited Australian research into the economic outcomes of HMRs. Furthermore, the results of international studies have questioned the clinical and cost-effectiveness of pharmacist-led medication reviews. The overall aim of the research described in this thesis was to investigate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of HMRs. To achieve this aim, the following objectives were formulated and addressed: * to investigate novel methods for assessing the clinical and cost-effectiveness of HMRs; * to investigate the characteristics of the DRPs identified in HMRs, including the drugs and conditions involved, and the recommendations made to resolve or prevent DRPs; * to estimate the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of HMRs; and * to investigate potential avenues to optimise the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of HMRs. Method: A methodology that used expert opinion to predict the outcomes of HMRs was developed, based on previous research of interventions undertaken in community pharmacies. The development of this methodology necessitated two studies to be undertaken whereby the healthcare system costs and quality of life effects of numerous common clinical conditions resulting from medication use were estimated using a combination of expert opinion and literature values. To evaluate HMRs, an observational cohort study was conducted across all states in Australia. Pharmacists accredited to perform HMRs submitted a random sample of HMRs that they had undertaken in 2008. Information from the HMR referral, report and outcomes of the HMR were classified according to standardised systems and entered into an electronic database for analysis. A panel of experts reviewed a sample of the HMRs and estimated the clinical outcomes of the recommendations made in the HMRs. A cost-consequence and cost-utility analysis was performed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of HMRs from an Australian government perspective. A sub-study was undertaken that investigated the relationship between cost-effective HMRs and factors that prior research suggested may influence the cost-effectiveness of HMRs. Results: A “consequences table” was developed whereby estimates of healthcare system costs and quality of life effects of 51 common clinical consequences were evaluated at three levels of severity. The estimates of these parameters appeared to be plausible and reasonable, and demonstrated moderate to high validity and reliability where testing…

▼ Introduction HIV testing is an important step in controlling the spread of HIV worldwide. Data from the UNAIDS suggests that about 50% of people living with HIV are unaware of their diagnosis. Canadian estimates suggest that about 25% of HIV infected persons are unaware of their status. Ontario specific estimates suggests that there may be close to 40,000 persons living with HIV in Ontario; however, 27,000 persons are known and documented to be living with HIV in Ontario. The importance of testing and early diagnosis is well documented with evidence demonstrating that early treatment improves outcomes both for infected individuals and the communities they live in. This premise forms the foundation for the highly effective “treatment as prevention” approach. There are currently many HIV testing approaches including serum and saliva-based technologies. Testing can also be categorized based on duration to receipt of test result. With conventional HIV testing, results become available after greater than 24 hours. Rapid testing approaches such as rapid - facility based testing; rapid - location based testing; and rapid - mobile testing ensure results are available within 24 hours and in many cases, within a few minutes. Effectiveness studies of individual approaches have been conducted, however, studies on the cost-effectiveness of the various approaches in Canada are presently lacking. Most of the available economic studies have been conducted in high prevalence low-income countries, and as such, are not entirely applicable to the Canadian experience. Research objectives The overall aim of the thesis is to investigate the program and performance effectiveness, as well as the economic evidence for the use of rapid HIV testing options compared with existing conventional testing options. To achieve this there were three specific objectives, namely: i. To perform a systematic review of the available cost effectiveness evidence of rapid HIV testing approaches. ii. To perform a second systematic review and determine relative effect estimates for the use of available rapid HIV testing approaches versus conventional approaches iii. To determine the cost effectiveness estimates of the use of these testing approaches as they apply to a Canadian context. Results Rapid HIV Testing for improving uptake of HIV/AIDS services in people with HIV Infection - A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis HIV testing has evolved to include rapid testing done in hospitals, non-clinical environments such as bathhouses, places of worship, learning environments and in other cases mobile HIV testing options have also been offered using mobile vans or other motorized vehicles. While there is overall evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analysis of the head-to-head benefits of rapid HIV testing compared to conventional HIV testing, there is insufficient evidence of the indirect benefits of the various types of rapid HIV testing based on location of the tests to identify if there is a differential benefit based on the location where the…

▼ Introduction The concept of this thesis was driven by stagnation within the Irish healthcare system. Multiple reports from pharmacy organisations had outlined possible future directions for the profession but progress was minimal, especially in comparison with other countries. The author’s directive was to evaluate the economic impact of a series of clinical pharmacy services (CPS) in hospital and community settings. Methods A systematic review of economic evaluations of clinical pharmacy services in hospital patients was undertaken to gain insight into recent research in the field. Eligible studies were evaluated using the Consolidated Health Economic Evaluation Reporting Standards (CHEERS), to establish the quality, consistency and transparency of relevant research. A retrospective analysis of an internal hospital pharmacy interventions database was conducted. A method first described by Nesbit et al. was implemented to estimate the level of cost avoidance achieved. A cost-effectiveness analysis based on data from a randomised controlled trial of a pharmacist-supervised patient self-testing (PST) of warfarin therapy is presented. Outcome measure was the incremental cost associated with six months of intervention management. A similar cost-effectiveness analysis based on previously published RCT data was used to evaluate a novel structured pharmacist review of medication in older hospitalised patients. Cost-effectiveness analysis was presented in the form of an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). An ICER is an additional cost per unit effect, in the case of this study, the cost of preventing an additional non-trivial ADR in hospital. A method described by Preaud et al. was adapted to estimate the clinical and economic benefit gained from vaccination of patients by a community pharmacist in Ireland in 2013/14. Sample demographic data was obtained from a national chain of community pharmacies and applied to overall national vaccination data. Results Systematic review identified twenty studies which were eligible for inclusion. Overall, pharmacist interventions had a positive impact on hospital budgets. Only three studies (15%) were deemed to be “good-quality” studies. No ‘novel’ clinical pharmacist intervention was identified during the course of this review. Analysis of internal hospital database identified 4,257 interventions documented on 2,147 individual patients over a 12 month period. Substantial cost avoidance of €710,000 was generated over a 1 year period from the perspective of the health care provider. Mean cost avoidance of €166 per intervention was generated. The cost of providing these interventions was €82,000. Substantial net cost-benefits of €626,279 and a cost-benefit ratio of 8.64 : 1 were generated based on this evaluation of pharmacist interventions. Results from an evaluation of a novel pharmacist-led form of warfarin management indicated indicated that on a per patient basis, PST was slightly more expensive than established anticoagulant management. On a per patient basis over a six… Advisors/Committee Members: Byrne, Stephen, Mccarthy, Suzanne, Woods, Noel, Eustace, Joe, HRB.

▼ This dissertation explores how, why, and under what circumstances cost benefit analysis (CBA) and cost effectiveness analysis (CEA) are being used in assessing World Bank education Project Appraisal Documents (PADs) from 2010 to 2014. Choices made when allocating limited education funding to unlimited education needs are challenging as they involve a multitude of factors and CBA/CEA tools are intended to help guide these choices. However, the literature shows that the field of education leverages CBA/CEA tools with low frequency and poor quality compared to other social services. The World Bank offers an opportunity to explore and gain insight into the use of CBA/CEA tools in education projects, as they are the largest funder of education projects and a pre-eminent source of applied development economics. I have adopted a two-phased mixed methodology approach giving priority to the qualitative dimension. I use a lens rooted in the context of an institutional system—including organizational, personal, project, and worldwide dimensions—to analyze data collected via semi-structured interviews revolving around six specific World Bank Education projects. I found that CBA dominates CEA use, and CBA use swayed upward from 2011—with CBA becoming the norm by 2014. CBA/CEA tools are used for their value well beyond the initial choice decision, with an emphasis on facilitating rich education discussions and refining project details. Multiple inter-related factors direct how CBA/CEA is used—with data, timeline, and skill set leading the way. However, the systemic organizational norm that roots CBA use in human capital theory has resulted in an overly mechanistic CBA process that is often out of context. This study shows the importance of thoughtful deliberation and concise governance over how CBA/CEA is defined, the triggers that indicate when to use CBA/CEA, and the protocols for authoring a CBA/CEA for an education project.

▼ Mental disorders are associated with considerable disease burden and financial costs. The cost-effectiveness of preventive interventions for mental disorders in the Australian context is currently not known. This thesis has applied a priority-setting approach, called Assessing Cost-Effectiveness (ACE), to preventive interventions for mental disorders. The ACE approach has been developed to answer questions regarding the economic credentials of competing interventions, by using economic modelling techniques, but also having regard to broader issues of relevance to healthcare decision-makers. The economic modelling techniques assessed the population costs and outcomes, expressed as Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs), of selected interventions. Extensive uncertainty and sensitivity analyses accompanied all evaluations. A Project Steering Committee considered the findings in the light of “second stage filters” (e.g. equity concerns, quality of the evidence base, feasibility of implementation and acceptability to stakeholders). Six preventive interventions for mental disorders were evaluated using this approach. Only interventions which had diagnostically assessed outcomes at follow-up were eligible for inclusion in the study. Using a value-for-money criterion of AUD50,000/DALY averted, all preventive interventions for mental disorders met the criteria of at least good value-for-money and a few were deemed excellent or very good value-for-money. Screening children and adolescents for early signs of depression and then subsequently providing a psychological intervention to prevent a full depressive disorder had a median incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of AUD5,400 (95% uncertainty interval: 1,400-32,000). The effectiveness credentials of this intervention were deemed “sufficient” and the second stage filter issues of concern were not insurmountable. As a consequence, it is recommended that this intervention be seriously considered for national roll-out. A parenting intervention to prevent childhood anxiety had a favourable ICER of 7,000/DALY averted (5,400-24,000). However this analysis was based on a single randomised trial and further piloting to ensure intervention effectiveness is recommended. Screening adults for signs of depression and treatment with a brief bibliotherapeutic intervention or group-based psychological therapy to prevent a full depressive disorder were also very good value-for-money (median ICERs of AUD8,600 and 20,000 respectively). Again, however, further piloting to ensure effectiveness is recommended. Screening and treating women at risk of postnatal depression was cost-effective, but the effectiveness credentials of this intervention require strengthening. Finally, treating youth at ultra-high risk for psychosis has the potential to save more resources than what it costs, although the effectiveness credentials of such an intervention require strengthening and there are substantial…

▼ Background: Increased costs and demand for accessibility to mental health services accompanied by a decline in resources has forced mental health service providers and government to innovate and develop a variety of new programs and service delivery strategies. As a result, a substantial number of organizations in Ontario have adopted the walk-in/single session therapy model. Further, many more family services agencies are planning to open a walk-in counselling center. Although, there have been some studies on clinical effectiveness, only one previous study has examined the cost-effectiveness exclusively focusing on single-session therapy/walk-in counselling service and that study suffered from a small sample size and the lack of a control group. Therefore, a rigorous research that examines the economic effectiveness is of paramount need. With a large sample size and a control group, this study aims to close the existing gap in the economic evaluation of single-session therapy/walk-in counselling. Objective: To determine the cost-effectiveness analysis of a single-session walk-in counselling model of service delivery compared to the traditional counselling model. Methods: Cost effective analysis was undertaken with effectiveness measured by the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) score. Cost was measured using data on direct medical costs: physician cost, hospital cost, emergency visit cost, counselling cost, and other social service cost, and indirect costs: the cost of lost work days and the cost of lost usual activities. To make the results comparable to other interventions, the GHQ-12 score was converted to QALYs using Serrano-Aguilar et al.’s (2009) algorithm. Incremental Cost-effectiveness Ratio (ICER) was calculated comparing walk-in counselling to being on the waitlist for traditional counselling. A probabilistic sensitivity analysis (PSA) was performed to account for uncertainties of parameters. In-depth analysis was done using Mixed effect modeling (also called multilevel models) to analyze the data from both individual level and group/context level and also to study growth or change trajectories (of the outcome measure) over a period of time, in order to measure the effectiveness. Perspective: The societal perspective was used for our analysis with a time period of 10 weeks. Data sources: The data from a CIHR-funded project was used. The data were collected from two family service agencies in Ontario, Canada; Kitchener-Waterloo Counselling Services (KWCS) and Family Service Thames Valley (FSTV) at three different time points: baseline, 4 weeks and 10 weeks over a period of 6 months. Results: During the ten weeks of the study, the total mean incremental costs were (1,499.55-1,865.10) =-365.55, indicating that walk-in counselling was less costly than the traditional counselling. The overall incremental outcome between intervention group and control group in QALYs after 10 weeks was, on average, (0.0215-0.0176) =0.0039. Combining the incremental costs and outcome differences across intervention…

▼ As the understanding of the biology of cancer intensifies, biomarkers with the potential to guide precision cancer medicine (PCM) are discovered with increasing regularity. Yet the cost-effectiveness of the biomarker-guided PCM strategy is rarely evaluated. Utilising colorectal cancer (CRC) as a bellwether for PCM implementation, I conducted a systematic review of health economic analyses of molecular biomarkers (MBM) to stratify CRC patients for PCM in high-income countries. This analysis found that: 1. Oncotype DX® is cost-effective in sparing treatment toxicity. 2. Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase gene (DPYD) status testing may be cost-effective to avoid 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) toxicity. 3. Uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1 gene (UGT1A1) polymorphism status is not cost-effective in guiding irinotecan dosing. 4. The cost effectiveness of testing of KRAS/NRAS mutational status for guiding cetuximab or panitumumab therapy is inconclusive. Overall, the systematic review revealed that there was a paucity of cost-effectiveness studies in CRC to support biomarker-enriched PCM approaches. To discern the real-world impact that PCMs and other therapeutic modalities are having on CRC survival, the economic burden of CRC in Europe for the year 2015 was determined by an enhanced cost-of-illness study, covering the EU27, together with the United Kingdom, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Serbia and Turkey (EUR33). CRC costs in 2015 were €21.9bn, broken down as follows: healthcare costs: €7bn (32% of overall costs); mortality costs: €5.7bn (26%); morbidity costs: €7bn (32%); informal care costs: €2.2bn (10%). Costs for managing a CRC patient varied significantly across each country, as did hospital care costs. Amongst overall healthcare costs, pharmaceutical costs represented the second largest expenditure after hospital care costs, and in several countries pharmaceutical costs were higher than hospital costs. The proportion of total healthcare expenditure on CRC was notably highest in Central and Eastern European countries in terms of percentage spent: conversely, these countries experienced the lowest CRC survival rates. Finally, as biomarker guided continuous cetuximab (CC) and intermittent cetuximab (IC) demonstrated equivalent clinical efficacy in treating advanced CRC in the COIN-B trials, I undertook a retrospective cost-minimization analysis to determine which therapy was the least costly. By employing both partition survival modelling (PSM) and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation, IC therapy did prove to be the dominant therapy when compared to CC therapy, with a cost reduction of £33,679 (by PSM) or £29,708 (by MCMC) per patient. In addition to the cost savings realised by IC therapy, the intermittent strategy allows for less invasive tumour monitoring during treatment and the opportunity for tumours to potentially re-sensitise to cetuximab treatment. This thesis demonstrates how viewing cancer and its treatment through a health economic lens can provide particular insights on the economic…

▼ The research in this dissertation addresses the question of costs and benefits of two policy options for cannabis in the context of New South Wales, Australia. The first policy is the current one, where cannabis is illegal, although a cannabis cautioning program is available for the use or possession of a small amount of cannabis. In the second policy option, cannabis is a legal but a highly regulated good. As no legalised-regulated policy currently exists, as part of this research the policy framework was developed with the objective of minimising the harms associated with the use of cannabis and with the policy itself. The societal value and preferences for the policies were evaluated in two ways. First, through the use of a traditional cost benefit analysis (CBA) and secondly, with a discrete choice experiment (DCE). The CBA estimated important costs and benefits in monetary terms for each policy with the results presented as a net social benefit. The DCE assessed the preferences for different policies for cannabis among a representative sample of the population. Potential trade-offs between key outcomes including the prevalence of consumption, expenditures by the criminal justice system and health care systems related to cannabis were explored.The results from the CBA indicate there is no clear difference in the net social benefit between the two policy options, although there is a potential revenue gain for government in the legalised-regulated option. The results from the DCE reveal that compared to the current policy there is a moderate preference for legalisation of cannabis among a community sample and strong preference against the complete criminalisation of cannabis. The results also demonstrate the trade-offs between different harms and benefits as well as the interactions between personal characteristics and the policy preferences. The findings from this analysis of the costs and benefits of two cannabis policy options will start to redress some of the evidence gaps that arise when making public policy in this area.

▼ The African pharmaceutical industry lacks the capacity to adequately supply the continent with essential medicines to combat the heavy disease burden that is grappling the continent. As a result, Africa relies heavily on imported medicines and vaccines to meet the growing needs of the population. Local pharmaceutical production promises to provide a sustainable solution to public health, industrial development and socio-economic issues on the continent. However, local pharmaceutical production does not make economic sense if the industry is unable to competitively produce quality medicine at prices that are comparable to or better than those of imported medicine. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether locally filling a multivalent vaccine used in paediatric immunization is economically viable when compared to the same vaccine currently imported semi-finished for labelling, packaging and distribution. Can a South African vaccine manufacturer produce the same vaccine cheaper than it currently imports? The objectives were to determine the production costs for both semi-finished product and local vaccine filling operations and to assess which option makes economic sense to pursue. The sub-objectives were to establish the extent and impact of the market size and demand for this vaccine on the decision to pursue local production versus importation. A case study approach was adopted as a research method to gain an in-depth understanding of the economic and production factors within the context of vaccine manufacturing with The Biologicals and Vaccines Institute of Southern Africa (Biovac) as a unit of analysis. Multiple sources of data were used to collect data for analysis. The study found that local production of this vaccine is economically viable and more favourable over imported product at current annual demand of 4.5 million doses. Local vaccine filling operations break-even point was found to be at 1.3 million doses when compared to 2.6 million doses for imported semi-finished product Whilst economies of scale cannot be disregarded for long-term profitability, this study found that economic viability can be achieved with an annual demand of 4.5million doses. The aim of this study was accomplished. This study contributes to the body of knowledge on local pharmaceutical production and serves as a baseline for further research in this area.

▼ Background and aim The workplace has been identified as an ideal setting in which to promote healthy dietary behaviours. However, uncertainty surrounds both the effectiveness and costeffectiveness of workplace dietary interventions and a dearth of evidence exists with regards to evaluating the implementation process of such interventions. The core aim of this thesis was to conduct both a process evaluation and an economic evaluation of the Food Choice at Work (FCW) complex workplace dietary intervention. Methods The FCW study was a pragmatic trial which measured the effectiveness of a complex workplace dietary intervention in ideal settings. Firstly, a cross-sectional analysis which employed a zero-inflated negative binomial (zinb) regression model to examine associations between objective health status outcomes, lifestyle characteristics and absenteeism was conducted. Secondly, a detailed process evaluation addressed the implementation of the complex workplace intervention. Interviews were conducted at baseline (27 interviews) and at 7-9 months follow-up (27 interviews) with a purposive sample of workplace stakeholders (managers, caterers and employees). Data were analysed using a thematic framework. Thirdly, micro-costing methods were employed to estimate the cost of implementing and delivering the complex workplace dietary intervention from an employer’s perspective. Finally, an economic evaluation of the complex workplace intervention was conducted. This consisted of 1) a baseline costutility analysis (CUA) which measured the cost-effectiveness of the interventions in terms of quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), 2) sensitivity analyses to test the robustness of the QALYs which involved performing cost-effectiveness analyses (CEA) using clinical measures to measure health outcomes and 3) a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) where the monetary value of absenteeism was employed so as to report the net benefit of the interventions relative to the control. Results Central obesity was positively associated with absenteeism and increased the expected rate of absence by 72% (mean number of absences was 2.5 days). Consuming a highquality diet and engaging in moderate levels of physical activity were negatively associated with absenteeism and reduced the expected frequency by 50% and 36% respectively. The process evaluation revealed that managers’ desire to improve company image, stakeholder buy-in, organisational support and stakeholder cohesiveness facilitated the implementation of the interventions. Anticipation of employee resistance towards menu changes, workplace restructuring and target-driven workplace cultures were found to impede intervention implementation. With regards to the cost-analysis, 3 main cost categories were identified 1) set-up costs 2) maintenance costs and 3) physical assessment costs. The combined intervention xvi reported the highest total costs (€47,305), followed by nutrition education (€44,726), environmental modification (€24,474) and the control (€21,412). In the economic evaluation, the baseline… Advisors/Committee Members: Perry, Ivan J., Kirby, Ann, Murphy, Aileen, Geaney, Fiona, HRB.

Appliquant la méthode de l’évaluation contingente, elle s’est intéressée à l’analyse de la perception de la population mauritanienne des services écosystémiques fournis par l’aire marine protégée du parc national du banc d’arguin (PNBA) en Mauritanie et la valeur qu’elle consente à payer pour maintenir l’offre de ces services dans son état actuel. A travers l’analyse des résultats de trois enquêtes réalisées au PNBA (niveau local), à Nouakchott (zone adjacente) et à Tidjikja (arrière-pays), la thèse discute l’impact de la distance, dans le sens de l’éloignement et du temps nécessaire pour accéder à l’AMP, tant sur la perception des services écosystémiques fournis par le PNBA que sur le consentement à payer pour sa conservation. Par ailleurs, elle aborde l’applicabilité de la méthode de l’évaluation contingente dans les pays en voie de développement et propose quelques améliorations du protocole de l’enquête pour améliorer la fiabilité des résultats.

This thesis is part of the current scientific debate around the economic evaluation of ecosystem services provided by marine protected areas in developing countries. Using the contingent valuation method, it focused on the analysis of the Mauritanian population's perception of ecosystem services provided by the marine protected area of Banc d'Arguin National Park in Mauritania and the value that this population agrees to pay to maintain the supply of these services in its current state. Through the analysis of the results of three surveys conducted at the PNBA (local level), Nouakchott (adjacent zone) and Tidjikja (inland), the thesis discusses the impact of distance, in the sense of the remoteness and the time required to access the MPA, both on the perception of the ecosystem services provided by the PNBA and on the Willingness To Pay for its conservation.In addition, it discusses the applicability of the contingent valuation method in developing countries and proposes some improvements to the survey protocol to enhance the reliability of the results.

Cette thèse examine l’effet des catégories — les groupements effectués à partir de similarités sociales et cognitives — sur l’évaluation des organisations sur les marchés. La recherche montre que les audiences sur les marchés ont tendance à pénaliser les organisations associées à plusieurs catégories. Interrogeant les hypothèses des précédentes études, mon travail met en perspective cette exigence de pureté catégorielle en étudiant le rôle de (i) l’imbrication catégorielle (« category nesting »), c’est-à-dire la disposition hiérarchique des catégoriques, (ii) l’hétérogénéité, au sein des audiences, de l’expertise et des modes de catégorisation (la manière dont les individus regroupent les entités), et (iii) les différences de valeur entre les catégories. A partir de tests expérimentaux (Chapitre 1), de données longitudinales sur les transactions de capital-risque à travers le monde de 1994 à 2017 (Chapitre 2) ainsi que de développements théoriques (Chapitre 3), cette thèse explicite certaines conditions sous lesquelles les organisations affiliées à des catégories atypiques sont perçues plus favorablement que les organisations pures sur le plan catégorique. Ce travail contribue à la théorie des organisations et la sociologie économique, en s’adressant à la recherche sur les catégories de marché, les évaluations des experts et la spécificité optimale (« optimal distinctiveness »).

This dissertation examines how categories — groupings that are built upon social and cognitive similarities — affect the evaluation of organizations in markets. Research shows that market audiences are likely to penalize organizations that combine multiple categories. Questioning the past studies' underlying assumptions, my work contextualizes this demand of categorical purity by studying the role of (i) category nesting, that is the hierarchical disposition of categories, (ii) audience members’ heterogeneity in expertise and modes of categorization (the way individuals group entities together), and (iii) the differences of categorical valence. Using experimental tests (Chapter 1), longitudinal data on venture capital deals worldwide from 1994 to 2017 (Chapter 2) as well as theoretical developments (Chapter 3), this dissertation provides evidence of conditions under which categorically atypical organizations are better appraised than categorically pure organizations in markets. This work offers contribution to organization theory and economic sociology by speaking to research on market categories, experts’ evaluations and optimal distinctiveness.

▼ Amongst other socio-economic challenges that South Africa has, unemployment still remains high; in July 2010 unemployment was at 25.3 percentage and in July 2011 it was at 25.7 percentage ; in a space of a year it grew by 0.4 percentage (Trading Economics, 2012). Even though South Africa has made some significant progress with its democracy; there is still significant socioeconomic problems. Poverty, lack of economic empowerment among the disadvantaged groups are amongst and lack of proper education are amongst some of these pressing challenges in South Africa. More than a quarter of South Africa's population currently receives social grants (Index mundi, 2011). The Eastern Cape Province is still faced with significant socio-economic challenges such as high unemployment rate. 74 percentage unemployed are the economically active group as they are under the age of 35 (ECDC, 2011:22). “More than a quarter (26.4 percentage) of households in the Eastern Cape relies on government grants as their main source of income. Nationally, the youth unemployment rate is estimated to be close to 35 percentage, with more than three million young people out of work. Youth unemployment in the Eastern Cape averages 41.4 percentage. This is more than twice the adult unemployment rate (18.4 percent). A total of 695,175 young people have been without work every year in the Eastern” (ECDC, 2010-2011: 23). Besides, this province has a third largest number of people who are living with HIV/AIDS in the country. These statistics have a major significance on the province’s economic prospects and progress (ECDC, 2010-2011:22). The RSA Constitution 1996, the White Paper on Local Government 1998 has mandated local governments to facilitate LED. South Africa adopted LED as a way of fighting poverty and stimulating economic growth and development for local residents. LED is promoting skills development, SMMEs and tourism to encourage economic development. However the success of LED has received mixed views in that; some successes of LED were recorded in urban or metropolitan municipalities. Few successes have been recorded of LED projects in rural municipalities. Some of the constraints of LED consist of capacity problems within the municipalities, understanding the role of LED in the municipality and lack of funding. In Makana Municipality, about 23 percentage of households live below poverty line of (R800.00 – R9600 a year). Most of the population earns between R801.00-R1600.00 per month with 24.7 percentage. A mere 0.6 percentage earn R204801.00 or more compared to 12.7 percentage with no income. Inadequate infrastructure poses as a threat to attracting and retaining investment in this municipality. In light of the above paragraphs, this thesis evaluated the impact assessment of the LED projects within Makana Municipality. The premise of this thesis is that realization and significant support of LED projects would impact positively on unemployment and poverty rate that this municipality is facing and subsequently; the burden of unemployment and…

▼ The Twickenham Platinum Mine (TPM) Project is located in the north eastern limb of the Bushveld Complex, north west of Steelpoort in the Limpopo Province. The property hosts platinum group metals (PGM) mineralisation in the Merensky Reef (MR) and Upper Group 2 Chromitite (UG2). The two reefs are separated by 400 m of mafic and ultramafic rocks of the Rustenburg Layered Suite. The question that must be answered with this study relates to the economic viability of the MR compared to that of the UG2 at the TPM Project, as it stands in 2011. The assumption is that no mining has commenced on this project and that there is an equal opportunity to commence mining on one of the reefs. The study describes the ore body characteristic for each reef, focussing on the lithologies, structure, and resources available. The discounted cash flow (DCF) method was used to determine the economic value of each reef. The net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) were calculated and used to compare the ore bodies. The input parameters to the DCF are the main limiting factors to this method, as the results are heavily dependent on the assumptions made. The input parameters used were based on actual published values and generally accepted and motivated assumptions. A sensitivity and risk analysis was completed to identify value ranges and potential risks to the projects. The outcome of the analysis has been compared to other projects as a benchmark to ensure the project assumptions were realistic. The world markets supply and demand for PGM is intricately related to exchange rates, metal prices, inflation, and investment risk. These have an influence on the strategic planning for a company as well as investment decisions through various project evaluation methods. South Africa has a long history of mining and metals extraction. Extensive mining legislation has been developed to ensure the country’s mineral wealth is protected and the health and safety of employees are high priority. Specific challenges related L! to mining on the Eastern Limb are discussed in order to justify the high risk assigned to the project for this evaluation. The DCF was calculated and the outcome indicated that neither the MR nor the UG2 is economically viable using these parameters in the 2011 economy. The MR evaluation produced a negative NPV (R -1,664,541,443.47) and an IRR of 9 %, which is well below the required discount rate of 12 %. The initial project capital will be repaid after 19 years of the 33 year life of mine. The sensitivity analysis showed that by reducing the initial capital by 30 %, the project produces a positive NPV. The other factor that produced a positive NPV was by reducing the operating cost by 50 %. This project will have to be re-evaluated after all parameters have been tested and some re-engineering has been done to optimise the extraction of the MR ore body. The UG2 evaluation produced a negative NPV (R -109,614,208.27) and an IRR of 12 %, equal to the required discount rate. The… Advisors/Committee Members: Roberts, R.J. (James) (advisor).

▼ Abstract Background Presenteeism is an economic concept that is difficult to identify, measure, and value. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are three chronic auto-immune conditions that increase levels of presenteeism. Workplace interventions (WPIs) help individuals to manage their health condition at work. Existing methods used to quantify the impact of presenteeism are unable to adequately inform the employer of the productive benefits of WPIs. The overall aim of this thesis was to appraise current methods used to quantify presenteeism and to develop methods to value the impact of presenteeism suitable for use in economic evaluations (EE) of WPIs. Methods Two systematic reviews were conducted: 1) to assess the extent to which self-report measure of presenteeism were underpinned by economic theory; and 2) to explore if, and how, productivity was quantified and included in EE of WPIs for musculoskeletal conditions (MSDs). Thematic analysis methods were used to analyse qualitative data collected from working individuals with RA, AS or PsA (n=22) that explored the extent to which measures of health status (EQ5D; SF6D) and capability (ICECAP-A) capture the impact on ability to work caused by RA, AS or PsA. Econometric methods were used to specify prediction models that included measures of health status, capability and presenteeism, using a sample of 542 working people with RA and AS. Results The first systematic review identified 24 self-report measures of presenteeism; all, except one measure were not underpinned by economic theory. The second systematic review identified 20 EE of WPIs for MSDs. Absenteeism was included in all studies (n=20); however, presenteeism was included in only four. The qualitative data confirmed measures of health status and capability had the ability to capture those aspects of RA, AS and PsA that impact an individualâ€™s ability to work. The best performing prediction model used an OLS specification including SF6D, age and gender to predict presenteeism measured by the WPAI. Conclusion The results suggest that HRQoL measures, specifically the SF6D, can be used to capture and predict levels of presenteeism caused by RA, AS and PsA.

▼ Background: Currently, there are no population-level smoking cessation interventions widely promoted in China. Economic concerns are one of the major barriers to a greater promotion of smoking cessation interventions in China. Objectives: The objective of this study was to use evidence on the effectiveness of physician counselling and nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) patches use from Western countries, with the most recent smoking data from China to predict the potential effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of physician counselling and NRT patch in the healthcare system in urban China. Methods: In Study 1, statistical analysis was conducted to estimate smoking and cessation rates in urban China. In Study 2, a Comparative Relative Assessment model was used to estimate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of physician counselling and NRT patch use for smoking cessation. Study 2 determined the estimates and costs of additional quitters and avoided lung cancer deaths from the implementation of physician counselling and NRT patch use in the healthcare system in urban China. Results: In Study 1, smokers intending to quit were significantly more likely to have quit at follow-up than those not intending to quit. A total of 35.4% of smokers in urban China reported visiting a doctor in the past 12 months. Smokers who visited a doctor were significantly more likely to intend to quit and to have quit smoking at follow- up compared to those who did not visit a doctor. In Study 2, brief counselling to all smokers visiting the healthcare system in China was the most effective and cost-effective smoking intervention by generating a total of 2.35 million quitters at 2.32-7.73 per quitter. Smoking cessation counselling were found to be cost saving when compared with the total cost of lung cancer to Chinese society. The wide promotion of the NRT patch would be costly, requiring significant financial investments. Conclusions: Implementing smoking cessation counselling in the healthcare system in urban China will result in cost savings from lung cancer. The high retail price and low acceptance of NRT patches in China may be required to achieve a population-level impact from pharmaceutical interventions.

Objective: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of an influenza immunization strategy directed at healthy children 36 months to 15 years on the herd immunity of entire communities, versus not implementing this strategy. Design: An economic evaluation, cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA). Costs and effects were estimated jointly with a two-stage bootstrap with shrinkage correction. Uncertainties around input parameters were tested with one-way and multi-way sensitivity analysis. Data Sources: Effect and resource consumption data were from the Hutterite Influenza Prevention Study. Unit costs were collected from multiple sources including, government reports and schedules, local suppliers, peer-reviewed articles and systematic reviews, Internet searches and study data on file. Outcomes: Mean costs and effects, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), net monetary benefit (NMB) statistic and cost effectiveness acceptability curves (CEAC). Results: The average cost per patient in the treatment arm was 69.08 and 32.66 in the control arm. The average number of influenza-free cases was of 0.96 in the treatment arm and 0.73 in the control arm. ICER was 164.19 per case of influenza averted, 95% confidence interval 28.38, 2,767.75. CEAC showed that at a willingness to pay of 177, the probability of the treatment strategy being cost effective compared to the control was 0.50. Results from sensitivity analyses were slightly different compared to base case results, supporting the robustness of base case estimates. Conclusion: This strategy is likely to be cost effective relative to the comparator as the ICER estimate is low and because the estimate is conservative given that the study population was very healthy and the influenza season was mild. A more virulent season and a less healthy population would have produced a lower ICER or seen the treatment arm dominate the control.

Rengiant mokslinius tiriamuosius darbus, galimybių studijas, investicinius projektus bei kitus įvairių objektų plėtros galimybes apibūdinančius dokumentus, dažnai atliekama išsami techninė analizė, nuošalyje paliekant ekonominį-socialinį įvertinimą, viena tai lemiančių problemų – nesukurta universali ekonominio-socialinio įvertinimo metodika. Siekdama supaprastinti ir suvienodinti objektų plėtros galimybių tyrimą ir pagrindimą ekonominiu-socialiniu aspektu Europos Komisija patvirtino metodiką „Guide to cost-benefit analysis of investment projects“. Darbo objektas - mokslinis tiriamasis darbas „Navigacijos sąlygų gerinimas Nemuno upės ruože Kauno HE-Lietuvos-Baltarusijos valstybių siena“. Jame pateikiama vandens kelio Kauno HE-Druskininkai plėtros galimybių analizė technologiniu bei ekonominiu aspektais. Norint nustatyti ruožo Kauno HE-Druskininkai paruošimo bei naudojimo laivybai užtikrinimo eksploatacinius kaštus, atsiperkamumą, įvertinti alternatyvius scenarijų variantus, būtina atlikti technologinį bei ekonominį-socialinį įvertinimus.

▼ The Twickenham Platinum Mine (TPM) Project is located in the north eastern limb of the Bushveld Complex, north west of Steelpoort in the Limpopo Province. The property hosts platinum group metals (PGM) mineralisation in the Merensky Reef (MR) and Upper Group 2 Chromitite (UG2). The two reefs are separated by 400 m of mafic and ultramafic rocks of the Rustenburg Layered Suite. The question that must be answered with this study relates to the economic viability of the MR compared to that of the UG2 at the TPM Project, as it stands in 2011. The assumption is that no mining has commenced on this project and that there is an equal opportunity to commence mining on one of the reefs. The study describes the ore body characteristic for each reef, focussing on the lithologies, structure, and resources available. The discounted cash flow (DCF) method was used to determine the economic value of each reef. The net present value (NPV) and internal rate of return (IRR) were calculated and used to compare the ore bodies. The input parameters to the DCF are the main limiting factors to this method, as the results are heavily dependent on the assumptions made. The input parameters used were based on actual published values and generally accepted and motivated assumptions. A sensitivity and risk analysis was completed to identify value ranges and potential risks to the projects. The outcome of the analysis has been compared to other projects as a benchmark to ensure the project assumptions were realistic. The world markets supply and demand for PGM is intricately related to exchange rates, metal prices, inflation, and investment risk. These have an influence on the strategic planning for a company as well as investment decisions through various project evaluation methods. South Africa has a long history of mining and metals extraction. Extensive mining legislation has been developed to ensure the country’s mineral wealth is protected and the health and safety of employees are high priority. Specific challenges related L! to mining on the Eastern Limb are discussed in order to justify the high risk assigned to the project for this evaluation. The DCF was calculated and the outcome indicated that neither the MR nor the UG2 is economically viable using these parameters in the 2011 economy. The MR evaluation produced a negative NPV (R -1,664,541,443.47) and an IRR of 9 %, which is well below the required discount rate of 12 %. The initial project capital will be repaid after 19 years of the 33 year life of mine. The sensitivity analysis showed that by reducing the initial capital by 30 %, the project produces a positive NPV. The other factor that produced a positive NPV was by reducing the operating cost by 50 %. This project will have to be re-evaluated after all parameters have been tested and some re-engineering has been done to optimise the extraction of the MR ore body. The UG2 evaluation produced a negative NPV (R -109,614,208.27) and an IRR of 12 %, equal to the required discount rate. The… Advisors/Committee Members: Roberts, R.J. (James) (advisor).
