Cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is a structured approach used to identify and assess potential outcomes to better inform decisions. This course explores the intricacies of the CBA process and emphasizes how rigorous analysis is pivotal to supporting evidence-based decision-making, specifically by federal regulators. Participants will acquire the skills needed to conduct a basic CBA to support the creation of a regulatory impact analysis statement (RIAS).

Topics include:

  • revisiting the theoretical foundations of CBA
  • building CBA models
  • assessing potential positive and negative outcomes
  • supporting quantitative, qualitative and monetizing analyses
  • summarizing results and drafting recommendations for decision-makers
