A Guide to Benefit-Cost Analysis (Second Edition)

Waveland Press, Prospect Heights, IL. 1998. Hardcover. Stated 2nd Edition/First Printing by Line Number. Book is tight, has slight spine roll, and is unmarked but for a F/O name on the front pastedown. Book Condition: scant shelfwear; light rubbing to panels. No DJ. Printed laminate boards and spine with yellow lettering on the spine and front board. 246 pp 8vo. The goals of this book are to show how the logic of benefit-cost analysis can be applied to a wide range of policy measures and how to translate the technical debates of economists to those with a good bit less training. In addition, this text uses real-world examples, many of them drawn from the author's experience when he served as Deputy Director and later as Acting Director of the Congressional Budget Office. A clean very presentable copy.
