Abstract: In this chapter we discuss some of the challenges facing the field of distributional cost-effectiveness analysis (DCEA). We cover four methodological challenges for researchers: (1) modelling complexities such as economies of scale, spillovers, and behavioural responses; (2) ex post DCEA based on distributions of realized outcomes rather than expected outcomes; (3) cross-sectoral DCEA combining information about health and non-health dimensions of well-being; and (4) fair shares DCEA based on distributing in proportion to strength of claim rather than maximizing value. We also discuss the practical challenge of making DCEA more useful to decision makers.
