Rezensionen
'For measuring the social returns to public investments, this is the preeminent source of wisdom and guidance by the recognized experts. The fifth edition of Cost-Benefit Analysis must surely be designated as the classic treatment on the topic, encyclopedic in its coverage and authoritative in its wisdom.' Henry M. Levin, William Kilpatrick Professor of Economics and Education, Columbia University and David Jacks Professor of Education and Economics, Emeritus, Stanford University
