Intended learning outcomes

The students shall acquire knowledge about Cost-Benefitanalysis (CBA) and on a deeper level understand what a CBA includes and how it is performed.

The student shall after the course more specific be able to:
  • Understand and be able to describe important parts of the theory Cost Benefit is based on.
  • Understand and be able to describe concepts used in CBA.
  • Carry out a Cost Benefitanalysis in all steps.
  • Read and understand a CBA and its results made for a relevant project in the society.

    Course content

    The welfare theoretical base includes concepts as consumer surplus, producer surplus, welfare and effectivity and are treated in the beginning of the course. The concepts of benefit and cost are discussed in detail. A large part of the course treat the different steps in CBA, including identifying, quantifying, valuation, discounting, sensitive analysis and presentation. An important part of the CBA is the step valuation, which will be discussed in detail. The use of CBA will be exemplified in different areas.

    Teaching and working methods

    Lectures, exercises and a project work.
