'For measuring the social returns to public investments, this is the preeminent source of wisdom and guidance by the recognized experts. The fifth edition of Cost-Benefit Analysis must surely be designated as the classic treatment on the topic, encyclopedic in its coverage and authoritative in its wisdom.' Henry M. Levin, William Kilpatrick Professor of Economics and Education, Columbia University and David Jacks Professor of Education and Economics, Emeritus, Stanford University 'What makes this manual unique is the extensive combination of basic microeconomics concepts with a wide range of worked examples, case studies, references to empirical literature, and helpful exercises. The new edition provides a better flow of the arguments and a richer selection of material from real world applications to project and policy evaluation.' Massimo Florio Florio, Universita degli Studi di Milano and former Scientific Coordinator, European Commission 'With up-to-date analyses and examples from across social and environmental studies, this new edition reaffirms the book's position as the premier rigorous treatment of cost-benefit analysis for researchers, policy professionals, and decision-makers.'
