EU Regional Policy Guide to Cost Benefit Analysis of investment projects

Description

This Guide to Cost-Benefit Analysis of Investment Projects updates and expands the previous edition (2002) which builds on the considerable experience gained through the dissemination of the previous versions and particularly after the new investment challenges posed by the enlargement process. The objective of the Guide reflects a specific requirement for the EC to offer guidance on project appraisals, as embodied in the regulations of the Structural Funds, the Cohesion Fund, and the Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA)1. This Guide, however, should be seen primarily as a contribution to a shared European-wide evaluation culture in the field of project appraisal. It offers guidance for the preparation or evaluation of investment projects through cost-benefit analysis.

Expected Outcome

The guide offers guidance for the preparation or evaluation of investment projects through cost-benefit analysis.
