This book explains the financial appraisal of capital budgeting projects. The coverage extends from the development of basic concepts, principles and techniques to the application of them in increasingly complex and real-world situations. Identification and estimation (including forecasting) of cash flows, project appraisal formulae, and the application of net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR) and other project evaluation criteria are illustrated with a variety of calculation examples. Risk analysis is extensively covered by the use of risk adjusted discount rate, certainty equivalent, sensitivity, simulation and Monte Carlo analysis. The NPV and IRR models are further applied to forestry, property and international investments. Resource constraints are introduced to the capital budgeting decisions with a variety of worked examples using linear programming technique. All calculations are extensively supported by Excel workbooks on the Web, and each chapter is well reviewed by end of chapter questions.

Alternative project selection procedures for less developed countries are compared and evaluated. Substantive differences among alternative procedures are in large part dependent upon differing assumptions about the economic environment in which the investment decisions are being made. In principal, since project selection procedures are based on theoretical welfare economics, most project selection procedures are equivalent. Thus, one of the basic results of the project selection procedures is that, in a perfectly competitive economy, allocation of resources on the basis of market prices of goods and factors results in Pareto optimality for a given income distribution. In other words, market prices of goods and factors would equate the marginal social cost of producing with the marginal social value of using the relevant goods or factors. However, to the extent the selection procedures operate where the perfectly competitive paradigm does not hold, market prices will no longer indicate the social costs and benefits of using and producing different commodities. The existence of trade distortions seriously interferes with the perfectly competitive paradigm. Judgments must be made regarding future trade control systems.

The second edition of the Impact Evaluation in Practice handbook is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to impact evaluation for policy makers and development practitioners. First published in 2011, it has been used widely across the development and academic communities. The book incorporates real-world examples to present practical guidelines for designing and implementing impact evaluations. Readers will gain an understanding of impact evaluations and the best ways to use them to design evidence-based policies and programs. The updated version covers the newest techniques for evaluating programs and includes state-of-the-art implementation advice, as well as an expanded set of examples and case studies that draw on recent development challenges. It also includes new material on research ethics and partnerships to conduct impact evaluation. The handbook is divided into four sections: Part One discusses what to evaluate and why; Part Two presents the main impact evaluation methods; Part Three addresses how to manage impact evaluations; Part Four reviews impact evaluation sampling and data collection. Case studies illustrate different applications of impact evaluations. The book links to complementary instructional material available online, including an applied case as well as questions and answers. The updated second edition will be a valuable resource for the international development community, universities, and policy makers looking to build better evidence around what works in development.
