Discounting health and cost-effectiveness analysis: a response to Nord.
Nord (2011) criticizes standard arguments which assert that consistency requires that future health benefits must be discounted at the same rate as future costs in cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA).

B Structural studies now add a new dimension to the discourse,...
