Now in its third edition, Cost-Benefit Analysis has been updated,
offering readers the perfect introduction to project, programme and
policy appraisal using basic tools of financial and economic
analysis. The key economic questions of any social cost-benefit
analysis are: do the benefits of the project or policy exceed the
costs, no matter how widely costs and benefits are spread, and
irrespective of whether or not project impacts, such as
environmental effects, are reflected in market prices? And which
group or groups of individuals receive the benefits and which bear
the costs? This book addresses these questions with an emphasis on
putting the theory presented in the book into practice. This third
edition has several attractive features: Readers are encouraged to
develop their own skills by applying the tools and techniques of
cost-benefit analysis to case studies and examples, including an
analysis of a project which is developed throughout the book. The
book emphasizes the use of spreadsheets which are invaluable in
providing a framework for the cost-benefit analysis. A dedicated
chapter provides guidance for writing up a report which summarises
the analysis which has been undertaken. New pedagogical features,
including Technical Notes and Examples, have been added as an aid
to readers throughout the text. An appendix provides 14 additional
case studies which can be developed in class or as assignment
projects. Additional material for instructors and students is
provided through Support Material maintained by Routledge. This
updated edition is an ideal text for a course on cost-benefit
analysis where the emphasis is on practical application of
principles and equipping students to conduct appraisals. It is also
a useful handbook for professionals looking for a logical framework
in which to undertake their cost-benefit analysis work.
At a time when remittances are widely recognised as of growing
importance for development in many countries, John Connell and
Richard Brown present this comprehensive overview of the role of
remittances in economic and social development. They investigate
various topics including reflections on methodology, the motives
and determinants of remittances, their socio-economic impacts, the
particular role of community organisations and social remittances,
and the broad social and cultural impacts of remittances. They pay
special attention to small island and Central Asian states, where
remittances are of particular significance and explore the recent
historical evolution of remittances and the policy implications in
both sending and receiving countries.

This study analyses the IMF's role in sub-Saharan foreign debt and
structural adjustment issues. A detailed analysis concentrating
upon Sudan disproves assumptions about the IMF's capacity to
enforce its much-touted, tough policy conditions, and about the
inability of defaulting countries to maintain capital inflows, even
when in arrears to the IMF itself. The study also examines IMF and
World Bank analysis and the efficacy of their policies given the
substantial unrecorded foreign exchange inflows and outflows
associated with unofficial migrant remittances, the parallel
economy and capital flight.

Throughout the text of this introduction to benefit cost analysis, emphasis is on applications, and a worked case study is progressively undertaken as an illustration of the analytical principles in operation. The first part covers basic theory and procedures. Part Two advances to material on internationally tradeable goods and projects that affect market prices, and part Three introduces special topics such as the treatment of risk and uncertainty, income distributional effects and the valuation of non-marketed goods.
