DEFINITION

  • A process for calculating and comparing the benefits and costs of a given policy or project, based on assigning a monetary value to all the associated activities. It is used to evaluate the feasibility or profitability of projects and public policy interventions. It aggregates the costs and benefits in different periods to a single value using a discount rate, assigning lower weight to the costs and benefits as they happen further into the future.
