On October 12, 2010 William Savedoff presented the major findings of his recent paper, “Basic Economics of Results-Based Financing in Health”, in which he discussed economic mechanisms that have served as a basis for many RBF programs. Savedoff presented the topic from a triple perspective, contrasting rational, behavioral and institutional approaches. He also pointed out to the potential uses of his findings in the project design process, and discussed strengths and weaknesses of RBF as a development tool in the health sector. Discussants shared their valuable insights on the presented work and their own perspectives on the economics of RBF. A the end, the audience had the chance to engage in a discussion with the author and the panelists during a question and answer session.
