Another basic set of components in economic models like those used for
HTA are the unit costs (i.e., prices, although the term costs has a very precise
technical meaning) that are to be applied to the consumption of resources.
These unit costs are typically general to the entire model as the price does not
vary for each entity. In some cases, the cost accrued by the entity may be indi-
