Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En economía las apariencias engañan. Rara vez el precio que se cobra en un mercado es igual al coste de producción o al valor que la sociedad obtiene del bien o servicio intercambiado. Construir una presa o una carretera, invertir en protección del medio ambiente, o privatizar una empresa pública, son decisiones que afectan al bienestar social. Identificar, cuantificar y comparar los beneficios y costes de los proyectos de inversión, y de las políticas públicas, es un requisito necesario para introducir racionalidad económica en la utilización de los recursos. El Análisis Coste-Beneficio sirve para evaluar si un proyecto de inversión o una política pública aportan beneficios a la sociedad que compensen los costes que supone su ejecución. En este libro se exponen los fundamentos y métodos del Análisis Coste-Beneficio, y se realizan aplicaciones que muestran el potencial de esta herramienta de evaluación económica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genus of definitions for the theoretical sciences is (the province of) the habitus of the intellective intention, for the practical sciences, however, that of the effective intention; the objects and ends constitute the specific differ ence There is nothing in the intellect that has not already been in the senses, that is, in the sensory organs, that has not already been in sensible things from which are distinguished things not perceptible to the senses. Nothing can be of the mind, sensation and the thing inferred therefrom except the operation itself. Real learning is cognition of things in themselves. It thus has the basis of its certainty in the known thing. This is established in two ways: by demon stration in the case of contemplative things, and by induction in the case of things perceptible to the senses. In contrast with real learning there is pos sible, probable and fictive learning. Antonius Gvilielmus Amo Afer (1827) This research has been long in the making. Its conception began in my last years in the doctoral program at Temple University, Philadelphia, Pa. It was simultaneously conceived with my two books on the Neo Keynesian Theory of Optimal aggregate investment and output dynamics [201] [202] as well as reflections on the methodology of decision-choice rationality and development economics [440] [441]. Economic theories and social policies were viewed to have, among other things, one impor tant thing in common in that they relate to decision making under different.
Download or read book Cost Benefit Analysis for Public Sector Decision Makers written by Diana Fuguitt and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1999-10-30 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fuguitt and Wilcox skillfully guide analysts, public sector managers, and students of decision-making through a full range of the essential steps to perform, interpret, and assess cost-benefit analysis. Their book shows how to grasp the principles of cost-benefit analysis and several related economic valuation methods, how to apply them in undertaking an objective analysis, and how to use the analysis as a decision-making tool across a wide range of fields and applications. An extensive knowledge of economic theory, calculus or advanced graphical analysis is not needed to understand the principles or techniques. Accessible to those who understand basic algebra and have a beginner's hold on statistics, the book also provides a bridge to the more advanced literature in economics and to other analyses used to perform sophisticated valuations. A unique, much-needed presentation of all that is required to gain an immediate, useful understanding of the topic. The authors explain basic economic concepts and show how they are relevant to understanding an analytical approach. They enumerate principles and detail such technical components as with and without analysis, discounting, decision criteria and uncertainty assessment. The book provides especially extensive coverage of the contingent valuation method along with market valuation, the travel cost and property value methods, human life valuation, and cost-effectiveness analysis. They explain empirical methods used to perform these valuation techniques and cover survey and regression analysis as well. Most importantly, Fuguitt and Wilcox treat the topic within its real-world context—as a decision-making tool to assess a particular policy's efficiency and to provide the decision maker with necessary information. Trade-offs between efficiency and other policy objectives are also addressed, as is the interdisciplinary setting within which cost-benefit analysis is interpreted, enabling readers to understand that policy advocates and adversaries bring their own values and competing interests to bear on any decision-making process.
Download or read book Decision Science and Social Risk Management written by M.W Merkhofer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economists, decision analysts, management scientists, and others have long argued that government should take a more scientific approach to decision making. Pointing to various theories for prescribing and rational izing choices, they have maintained that social goals could be achieved more effectively and at lower costs if government decisions were routinely subjected to analysis. Now, government policy makers are putting decision science to the test. Recent government actions encourage and in some cases require government decisions to be evaluated using formally defined principles 01' rationality. Will decision science pass tbis test? The answer depends on whether analysts can quickly and successfully translate their theories into practical approaches and whether these approaches promote the solution of the complex, highly uncertain, and politically sensitive problems that are of greatest concern to government decision makers. The future of decision science, perhaps even the nation's well-being, depends on the outcome. A major difficulty for the analysts who are being called upon by government to apply decision-aiding approaches is that decision science has not yet evolved a universally accepted methodology for analyzing social decisions involving risk. Numerous approaches have been proposed, including variations of cost-benefit analysis, decision analysis, and applied social welfare theory. Each of these, however, has its limitations and deficiencies and none has a proven track record for application to govern ment decisions involving risk. Cost-benefit approaches have been exten sively applied by the government, but most applications have been for decisions that were largely risk-free.
Download or read book Cost Benefit Analysis and Distributional Preferences written by Helen Scarborough and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Helen Scarborough and Jeff Bennett have produced a work that is genuinely path-breaking. As is often the case with path-breaking work, the idea is simple enough: if people can respond to choice experiments in ways that tell us a lot about what they value and how much they value it, why would they not be able to respond to choice experiments where the options offered have different distributional consequences? Such simple ideas evade implementation not because they are so hard to think up, but because it is so easy to dismiss them as unthinkable. All credit goes to Scarborough and Bennett for busting through this particular unthinkability barrier. . . [The authors] may be surprised by the magnitude and the nature of the impact this work eventually enjoys.' From the foreword by Alan Randall, The University of Sydney, Australia and The Ohio State University, US This pathbreaking study illustrates and enhances the potential of costbenefit analysis as a tool for decision-making. Advancing the incorporation of equity preferences in policy analysis, the authors demonstrate the application of choice modelling to the estimation of distributional weights suitable for inclusion in a costbenefit analytical framework. A platform for discussion of the challenges and opportunities of this approach is presented in the form of a detailed case study designed to estimate community preferences for different intergenerational distributions. While the case study is focused on natural resource management and environmental policy, the conceptual and methodological advances illustrated by the authors are relevant and applicable to a wider array of policy deliberations. This book will prove a challenging and thought-provoking read for academics, students and policymakers with an interest in environmental issues and/or public sector economics.

Download or read book An Introduction to Benefit cost Analysis for Evaluating Public Expenditure Alternatives written by Josephine M. LaPlante and published by . This book was released on 1983 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revised edition of PS-14, "An Introduction to Benefit-Cost Analysis for Evaluating Public Programs," presents concepts and techniques of benefit-cost analysis as tools that can be used to assist in deciding between alternatives. The goals of the new edition include teaching students to think about the possible benefits and costs of each alternative; to define what they foresee as program outputs and to consider possible undesirable consequences; and to recognize the trade-offs that are implicit in all decisions. Topics of the eight modules (16 exercises) include the following: classifying direct vs. indirect benefits, as well as tangibles vs. intangibles; pecuniary or price effects; the business model of benefit-costs analysis; business as a model for government decisions; supply and demand in the market for goods; challenges for valuation presented by government programs; the comparison of costs and benefits that occur at different times; shadow pricing; double-counting, and benefits valued as net savings. Everyday examples are used to present what are frequently difficult concepts and relationships for the student with little background in economics. A sample student evaluation form is appended.
