A new systematic review in BMC Cost Effectiveness and Resource Allocation examined how economic evaluation has been incorporated into dynamic transmission models to generate cost-effectiveness estimates of pandemic policy responses. The review identified 51 studies which met the inclusion criteria, half of which utilized an extension of a Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Recovered (SEIR) compartmental model. The most common type of economic evaluation was cost-effectiveness analysis (47%), followed by cost-utility analysis (33%) and cost–benefit analysis (33%). Economic evaluation was found to be infrequently incorporated into dynamic epidemiological modelling studies of public health and social measures.
