Abstract
In this essay I define the discipline of economics and say why it's useful. I review methods for measuring economic outcomes relevant to those working to prevent infections, and review how decision-makers should use the information to help choose the best among competing programmes. I finish by arguing that good economics can improve the amount of health gained from an infection prevention service working under conditions of scarce resources.
