The economic analysis of public policy
"William K. Bellinger's new text book is an ideal introduction to benefit-cost analysis, the economics of efficiency, risk analysis, and present value discounting for those with only a modest background in mathematics and economics. Dr. Bellinger presents the key concepts for analyzing public policy with frequent problems, discussion questions, and case studies throughout the book. Placing a great emphasis on teaching as well as sharing knowledge, this book encourages its readers to both understand and apply each concept and learn to appreciate policy analysis as part of an interdisciplinary, analytical, and political process that can lead to better government policy decisions. This book is an ideal teaching tool for undergraduate and Master's students engaged in Public Administration, Public Economics, and Public Policy."--Jacket
