This Talk will provide a good introduction and coverage into the scope and purview of Cost-Benefit Analysis. Specifically, it draws on the many cases and examples of its use in society ranging from conventional practices to other more seemingly difficult and challenging areas where often valuations are required for non-market goods, including valuing life, air quality, the social cost of incarceration, crimes, dengue illness, casino gaming and scenic views, and more. Cost-Benefit Analysis provides the necessary framework for efficient resource allocation.
