Abstract: The research progress on the economic evaluation of assisted reproductive technology （ART） in last 5 years was summarized. Those analysis of ART economics included four main aspects：the economic analysis of different treatment protocols，the cost-effectiveness analysis of different ovulation-inducting drugs，the economic analysis of different embryo transfer program，and the economic analysis of special patients. It was suggested that the statistic evaluation of total cost，including those classified costs and the duration of ART treatment，and the live birth rate should be noticed when the economic effectiveness of ART were evaluated. It is useful for our scientists to evaluate ART by economics analysis. Meanwhile，those economics analyses were also helpful for us to evaluate ART economic effectiveness，to improve the medical resource allocation，to choose the optimized treatment protocol，to save social cost and reduce the medical burden for patients.
