Book Description
The first choice: Benefit cost analysis According to the Budget Principles Act, appropriate economic studies must be carried out for all financially effective measures of the public administration. As the most comprehensive macroeconomic investigation methodology, benefit-cost analysis within financial science continues to be the instrument of first choice. Due to the good suitability for evaluating environmental effects, benefit-cost analyses have continued to gain importance in recent years. The legislator also gave the instrument a decisive weight in the field of medical progress. By founding the Institute for Quality and Economy in Healthcare (IQWiG) and its extensive commitment to testing new medicines in terms of cost-benefit ratio, all well-known researching drug manufacturers have to deal intensively with the methodology. In addition to the actual benefit-cost analysis, the book also includes chapters on cost economic analysis as well as utility value analysis. For all procedures, the book describes the respective strengths and weaknesses, differences, and the specific possibilities in the application. Practical examples show the application, especially in the health and environmental sector. The book is primarily a teaching text for teaching at universities. However, it also helps experts in politics and administration to become familiar with modern decision-making methods. The author Prof. Dr. Horst Hanusch is emeritus professor of economics at the University of Augsburg.
