I suppose, for an incredibly rough economic value, you could take the amount spent by the various groups campaigning divided by the number of votes, and get an average. Though maybe the expected turnout would be more accurate.

Anyone know if this, or something like it, has ever been done anywhere?

Based on Fianna Fail's criteria, it depends on whose vote it is.
