After opening with a theoretical discussion of the concept of social welfare, a critical analysis of the traditional doctrine of welfare economics embodied in the Two Fundamental Theorems, and a presentation of social cost-benefit analysis, the book introduces readers to an applied framework. This includes the empirical estimation of shadow prices of goods, the social cost of labour and capital, and the assessment of risk. The book also examines real-life experiences with cost-benefit analysis, including ex-post evaluation of major projects, economic rates of return in different sectors, and a case study on privatisation. These chapters draw on first-hand research gained by the author team from years of advisory work for the European Commission and other international and national institutions. This second edition presents updated data, more international examples, and more coverage of topics such as very long run discounting effects and climate change as an intergenerational effect. It also includes more practical examples and end-of-chapter questions to aid student's learning. \u003cem\u003eApplied Welfare Economics\u003c\/em\u003e is a valuable textbook for upper-level courses on welfare economics, cost-benefit analysis, public policy analysis and related areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMassimo Florio is Professor of Public Economics and Jean Monnet Chair \"ad personam\" of EU Industrial Policy at the University of Milan, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChiara Pancotti is Adjunct Professor of Cost-Benefit Analysis at Università degli Studi di Milano and Senior Researcher at the Centre for Industrial Studies, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 324\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9.69 x 6.85 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 30, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461888360626,"sku":"9781032022185","price":137.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/5fb2897549ed0ee39c1420517440c6fe.webp?v=1778957707","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/applied-welfare-economics-cost-benefit-analysis-of-projects-and-policies-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
