Social Cost-Benefit Analysis



The importance of every public dollar is at a premium in these trying economic times.  
Any public expenditure should bring quantifiable value to citizens.  To quantify the 
impact on the public, investments by the public sector should require critical analysis 
to determine this impact on the public.  This economic accounting is often required 
for projects to be green-lighted in the public domain. Social cost-benefit 
analysis is a method for determining if such projects are worthy of the use 
of public funds.  

PE performs a comprehensive accounting of the positive
effects and negative effects of projects to determine the overall impact 
on the public. PE has worked on public projects involving green energy, education 
spending and transportation infrastructure projects, among others.  PE possesses 
the expertise in social cost-benefit analysis to cut through the political rhetoric and
