Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The social discount rate measures the rate at which a society would be willing to trade present for future consumption. As such it is one of the most critical inputs needed for cost-benefit analysis. This paper presents estimates of the social discount rates for nine Latin American countries. It is argued that if the recent track record in terms of growth in the region is indicative of future performance, estimates of the social discount rate would be in the 3-4 percent range. However, to the extent that the region improves on its past performance, the social discount rate to be used in the evaluation of projects would increase to the 5-7 percent range. The paper also argues that if the social planner gives a similar chance to the low and high growth scenario, the discount rate should be dependent on the horizon of the project, declining from 4.4 percent for a 25-year horizon to less than 4 percent for a 100-year horizon.

This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Selected Issues paper examines several real sector issues, including estimates of potential output, the effect of Intel’s withdrawal on gross domestic product (GDP), labor market and inequality and electricity prices in Costa Rica. The production function approach shows that the main drivers of fluctuations in GDP growth are total factor productivity (TFP) and labor supply. These results on TFP, however, should be interpreted with caution. The TFP measure is a residual—the difference between output growth and the growth in the quantity (and quality) of inputs. Estimates suggest that potential GDP growth is about 4.3 percent, the output gap is broadly closed, and Intel’s withdrawal will lower real GDP growth in about 1/2 percentage point. Significant wage premia are identified across public versus private sectors and some evidence of intergenerational inequality is also presented. Electricity tariffs are found to be regionally competitive albeit with inefficiencies in their determination.

Download or read book The Social Cost of Capital written by Massimo Florio and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discounting enables to express future monetary or socio-economic effects in terms of present values when inter-temporal decisions are to be taken. In the context of the cost-benefit analysis, this allows for directly comparing net benefits expressed in terms of their net present values, and, subsequently, for aggregating them to obtain a single measure of the project value (the net present value). This paper deals with the social discount rate used to discount economic flows and estimate the investment's economic profitability indicators. It discusses the two most popular approaches for estimating the social discount rate, namely the social rate of return on private investment and the social rate of time preference, as well as the important implications on present and future generations deriving from using one discount rate instead of another. An overview of the social discount rates applied in several countries worldwide is provided and country-specific social discount rates for some EU Member States are empirically estimated using the social rate of time preference approach.

Download or read book Valuing the Environment in Developing Countries written by David Pearce and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The substantial and growing interest in the monetary valuation of preferences for environmental improvement, and against environmental damage, has prompted a demand for case studies illustrating methodologies and applications of valuation techniques. In this book, the first of two volumes, the authors provide detailed case studies of valuation techniques that have been used in developing countries. They demonstrate that valuation works and that it can yield significant insights into policy-relevant issues regarding conservation and economic development. The authors address a whole range of environmental issues under the broad themes of water and air quality, biological diversity and forest functions. The economic approaches covered include contingent valuation, hedonic property prices, travel cost methodologies and benefits transfer. They also go on to look at the idea of extending national accounts to reflect changes in environmental assets. Examples of the varied and interesting case studies include valuing improvements to sanitation in Malaysia, the value of visits to game parks in South Africa and tropical forest values in Mexico. They highlight how valuation techniques can be applied, often with limited resources, to critical development issues. Academics and practitioners of environmental economics will draw great value from this unique and original work, as will the many multilateral and bilateral aid agencies. The book will also prove a valuable addition to graduate and undergraduate courses in environmental economics where there is a need for case material.

Download or read book The Appropriate Measure of the Social Discount Rate and Its Role in the Analysis of Policies with Long-Run Consequences written by David Burgess and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appropriate measure of the social discount rate is the social opportunity cost of borrowed funds (a weighted average of the rates of return on displaced investment, postponed consumption, and incremental foreign funding), which ensures that a proposed policy produces a potential Pareto improvement. The approach yields a discount rate in the order of 7 percent per annum for the United States using national income accounts data, with no evidence of any secular decline in the rate over the past half century. Using a lower discount rate equal to the social rate of time preference requires either (1) abandoning a basic tenet of benefit-cost analysis that worthy projects must improve allocative efficiency, or (2) assuming that the government must balance the budget each period (no debt financing at the margin), debt reduction is not an option, and the marginal tax instrument is a nondistortionary tax that impacts only consumption. Neither option seems reasonable.

Book excerpt: "This Visiting Research Paper was initiated, as foreshadowed in the Handbook, to examine further the evidence on the parameters influencing the choice of discount rate. It was prepared by Dr Mark Harrison when a visiting researcher at the Commission. The paper reviews conflicting views on the issues influencing discount rate selection, and examines recent evidence of possible market benchmarks for discount rate derivation."--P. v.

Download or read book Discounting for Public Cost-Benefit Analysis written by Qingran Li and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Standard U.S. practice for public cost-benefit analysis is to bound the discount rate with the interest rate paid by capital investment and rate received by consumers. These bounding cases arise when future benefits accrue to consumers in either a two-period model or as a perpetuity. We generalize to consider benefits paid in any future period. We find that the appropriate discount rate converges to the consumption rate for benefits in the distant future. More generally, the range of rates depends on the temporal pattern. Applied to CO2 damages, we estimate the appropriate discount rates of between 2.6 and 3.4 percent.
