TL;DR: Cost-benefit analysis as discussed by the authors provides accessible, comprehensive, authoritative, and practical treatments of the protocols for assessing the relative efficiency of public policies, including time discounting, dealing with contingent uncertainty using expected surpluses and option prices, taking account of parameter uncertainties using Monte Carlo simulation and other types of sensitivity analyses, revealed preference approaches, stated preference methods, and other related methods.

TL;DR: This article examined past evaluations of government training programs for the economically disadvantaged and offered an agenda for future research, concluding that government-provided training programs are producing modest increases in earnings for adult men and women, but are probably not producing positive effects for youth.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors recommend the following procedures: If the project is intragenerational (does not have effects beyond 50 years) and there is no crowding out of private investment, then discount all flows at 3.5 percent; if the project was intergenerational and investment is crowded out, then convert investment flows during the first 50 years to consumption equivalents using a shadow price of 1.1, and then discount these flows after the 50th year using time-declining rates.

TL;DR: The authors used meta-analysis to synthesize findings from 31 evaluations of 15 voluntary government-funded training programs for the disadvantaged that operated between 1964 and 1998, on average, t t...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results from an examination of teacher flows within a large city school system, focusing on the mobility of teachers among schools within the system, the movement of teachers into and out of the system and the effect of these flows on the allocation of teachers in different types of schools.
