Reviews

Attempting to make their work accessible to those with only a basic understanding of algebra and statistics, the authors guide their readers through the steps of cost-benefit analysis. They also directly address the interdisciplinary context in which cost-benefit analysis makes its contribution to decision making.-Public Administration Review
