    Lowering the floor of the SF-6D Utility function: an application using Spanish data
    (Fundación BBVA, 2010-07) Abellán Perpiñán, José María; Sánchez Martínez, Fernando Ignacio; Martínez Pérez, Jorge Eduardo; Méndez Martínez, Ildefonso; Economía Aplicada
    This paper presents a new scoring algorithm for the SF-6D, one of the most popular preference-based health status measures. Previous algorithms suffer from a phenomenon called the „floor‟ effect (i.e., lack of sensitivity of the instrument for detecting health gains of individuals whose baseline health is poor). Our algorithm expands the range of utility scores in such a way that the „floor‟ effect vanishes. We get such a wider range thanks to the use of a lottery equivalent method through which preferences from a representative sample of Spanish general population are elicited. -----------
