The Value of Information, 2012 Methodological Frontiers and New Applications in Environment and Health

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Laxminarayan Ramanan, Macauley Molly K.

Couverture de l’ouvrage The Value of Information
The book examines applications in two disparate fields linked by the importance of valuing information: public health and space. Researchers in the health field have developed some of the most innovative methodologies for valuing information, used to help determine, for example, the value of diagnostics in informing patient treatment decisions. In the field of space, recent applications of value-of-information methods are critical for informing decisions on investment in satellites that collect data about air quality, fresh water supplies, climate and other natural and environmental resources affecting global health and quality of life.
