17. Rankings Benefits and Costs for 101
Sum
Benefits:
Costs:
List and Rate 1-3
Looking at as public interest
Not Just Financial
Government Costs are Always There
-students should follow along in reader
-assign numbers as if omniscient observer, not as a player
-benefit and cost can be same thing (I.e. less and more learning). Can be confusing, but is important to bring up
-ratio should be greater than one. If not, the policy is not worth pursuing. If it equals one, it is also a waste of time
- Make sure benefits and costs are distinct
- all costs not the same - all benefits not the same
main societal condition improving should be #1 benefit
Also can not be 0, need to be more benefits than costs
Ratio= Sum of Benefits= Sum of Costs
