I don’t think this works to achieve the same end, because $/DALY is specific to measuring health benefits—it doesn’t provide any way to capture increased income, consumption, etc. Nonetheless, evaluations like “AMF saves a life for $4,000” must have been derived from a $/DALY estimate at some point in the pipeline so I suspect it is being calculated somewhere already.
That’s not true – GW’s AMF CEA goes straight to mortality reduction, no $/DALY intermediate step. None of the other GW CEAs use D/QALY either; if they don’t use mortality reduction they use 2x income.
