USE THIS BOOK FOR ALL ASSIGNMENTS IN GENERAL. McDavid, C., J., Huse, Irene, Hawthorn, L., L. R. (10/2012). Program Evaluation and Performance Measurement: An Introduction to Practice, 2nd Edition. [VitalSource Bookshelf Online].
This module taught you that economic evaluation has become a vital part of program evaluation over the past couple of decades as stakeholders have demanded economic efficiency in their agencies and programs. The textbook discusses three types of economic evaluation methods: the cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA), the cost-unity analysis (CUA), and the cost-benefit analysis (CBA).
Tasks:
In about 200 words, respond to the following:
• Compare and contrast CEA, CUA, and CBA.
• Find an article that discusses a program evaluation where at least one of these was used. Why do you think the evaluator chose this specific analysis? How were the findings from the analysis applied to the overall evaluation?
