摘要
在进行药物经济学研究时,成本和收益在未来时点发生是非常常见的情况。对于成本和收益进行贴现也成为目前药物经济学研究的一种主流认知。然而,对于其成本和收益贴现率的选择,学术界目前尚未有统一的定论。通过介绍Keeler-Cretin悖论以及简单阐述收益和成本的贴现率应该保持一致的必要性,推导Keeler-Cretin悖论以及对推导过程加以变形从而使其更加符合逻辑,使得Keeler-Cretin悖论无法被"跳过"。
In pharmacoeconomic research, cost and benefit were very common in the future. Discounting cost and income had also became a mainstream cognition in pharmacoeconomics research. However, the academic community had not yet reached a unified conclusion on the choice of the discount rate of its cost and earnings. To introduce the Keeler-Cretin paradox and simply explain the necessity and method of keeping discount rates of income and cost consistent, Keeler-Cretin paradox was deduced and the deduction process was modified so as to make it more logical. The Keeler-Cretin paradox could not be "skipped" by discounting a single scheme at different time points.
