The cost benefit technique is so often referenced in government policy that a correct understanding is necessary for officials entrusted with public decisions. It is especially useful for those charged with preparing numerical analyses to assess the worthiness of a specific policy proposal. In this manual, costs and benefits are identified and analyzed in terms of economic efficiency and resource allocation.2013 digital library.Economics collection.2163-7628.Public worksCost effectivenessElectronic books.cost benefit analysis (CBA)local governmentproject evaluationdiscount ratewillingness to acceptwillingness to payeconomic efficiencypositive time preferencenet discounted benefitspresent value of costspresent value of benefitssocial welfare functionsexternalities/spilloverscost effectiveness analysisbenefits ratiosensitivity analysismarket failuregovernment failurestandingexternal/social costsexternal/social benefitsexistence valueshedonic valuationhypothetical contingent valuationrent seekingregulatory capturePublic worksCost effectiveness.307.1Keating Barry1945-,107283Keating Maryann O.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910480258003321Basic cost benefit analysis for assessing local public projects1950122UNINA
