It attempts to answer such questions as whether a proposed project is worthwhile, the optimal scale of a proposed project and the relevant constraints. CBA is fundamental to government decision making and is established as a formal technique for making informed decisions on the use of society's scarce resources. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis timely sixth edition of the classic \u003ci\u003eCost-Benefit Analysis\u003c\/i\u003e text continues to build on the successful approach of previous editions, with lucid explanation of key ideas, simple but effective expository short chapters and an appendix on various useful statistical and mathematical concepts and derivatives.
