ASPECTS OF COST AND UTILITY ANALYSIS IN PLANNING

Abstract

Some aspects of planning in preparation for resource allocation decisions among alternatives, which are generally made under uncertainty, are discussed from the pragmatic viewpoint of a practicing analyst. The report is concerned only with that area of economic analysis in which the inputs are not commensurable with the outputs. (The terms 'input' and 'output' will be used throughout this paper in their general meaning and not in the specialized meaning attached to them in input-output or intersectoral economics.)
