Cost-benefit analysis arguably is the most important tool in evaluating public and private policies. Conceptually, cost-benefit analysis is simple: subtract the costs from the benefits and adopt those policies yielding the greatest net benefit. In practice cost-benefit analysis is much more complicated. Costs and benefits must be summed over time, requiring a calculation of net present value. Costs and benefits must be summed over different people, requiring a social welfare function. Finally costs and benefits must be summed over a variety of goods and services, some of which do not have market values or where market values are not appropriate measures. This course reviews the techniques involved in cost-benefit analysis and employs case studies to illustrate these techniques.
