Cost Effectiveness Analysis Guidelines

Cost-effectiveness analyses (CEA) summarize complex programs in terms of a simple ratio of costs to impacts and allows us to use this common measure to compare different programs evaluated in different countries in different years. This resource provides guidelines for using this methodology, as well as CEAs completed by J-PAL in the education sector.
