Cost-Benefit Analysis: Some Notes for Urban Projects










In July 2019, the Marron Institute of the New York University hosted a workshop on cost-benefit analysis (CBA) for 25 urban officials from around the world



I was pleased to be asked to meet with this diverse group and discuss how cost-benefit analysis could be used in decision-making about urban projects.

You can download the PowerPoint from the sessions here.

These slides cover the basics -- time value of money, investment criteria etc. -- as well as applications to housing, and transportation.  The geographic focus is broad, as befits the interests of our group.

References and readings for further study are also included.
