Benefit / Cost priorities : achieving commensurability
conference paper
Traditional Benefit/Cost analysis requires benefits and costs to be expressed in a common currency, usually dollars. More recently, benefits and costs have been expressed and compared as relative priorities. This process has been criticized because there is no guarantee that the two sources of priorities are in commensurate units. This paper illustrates simpler methods for achieving commensurability
