Description

Current Issues in Project Analysis for Development by John Weiss and David Potts provides a comprehensive assessment of project analysis techniques in development projects. Over fifty years of experience has shown that poorly designed and appraised projects can waste scarce resources, making this study essential for understanding the continued relevance of these approaches. The book examines methodological developments over the past five decades, investigating current practical problems in applying project analysis techniques. It covers topics such as shadow exchange rates, poverty impact and risk assessment, environmental projects, transport, education, and health, among others. The authors also explore the experience of semi-input-output-based estimation of shadow prices and their relevance to developed economies. This major work brings together experts from both academic and operational backgrounds to address key issues in project analysis. It will appeal to academics working on development, officials involved with project aid programs, postgraduate students of development, and professional economists working on development projects.
