Description

This course provides you with the conceptual foundations and practical knowledge you will need to read and understand CBA reports, conduct a CBA, and to be a thoughtful consumer of policy research. An important part of the course is learning different economic methods to calculate and then estimate values of costs and benefits. The course draws on a mixture of economic theory and real-life case studies to examine both the theoretical and practical issues involved in CBA. Students also learn about the method of cultural impact assessment and its relationship to cost-benefit analysis.
