This approach was tentatively recommended by Murray et al.(Bull. World Health Organ 2000; 78: 981\u2013994; Summary Measures of population health: Concepts, Ethics, Measurement and Applications, WHO, 2002.) as an appropriate way of constructing summary measures of population health (SMPH) for comparative purposes. The operationalization of the VEI approach used in this paper was suggested by Nord (Summary Measures of Population Health: Concepts, Ethics, Measurement and Applications, WHO, 2002.). We test if VEI and person trade-o\ufb00 (PTO) methods generate similar quality-of-life weights. In addition, we compare VEI and PTO weights with individual utilities estimated by means of the conventional standard gamble (SG) and a variation of it we call double gamble. Finally, psychometric properties like feasibility, reliability, and consistency are examined. Our main \ufb01ndings are next: (1) VEI and PTO approaches generate very di\ufb00erent weights; (2) it seems that di\ufb00erences between PTO and VEI are not due to the \u2018rule of rescue\u2019; (3) the VEI resembled more a DG than a classical SG; (4) PTO, VEI, and DG exhibited good feasibility, reliability and consistency.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Health Economics, vol. 14, pp. 69-82 Autores: Jose-Luis Pinto-Prades y Jos\u00e9-Mar\u00eda Abell\u00e1n-Perpi\u00f1\u00e1n.
