This is one of two case studies that was conducted to support the Benefit-Cost Analysis Reference Case Workshop, held on November 2-3, 2017, which is part of the second phase of a project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to develop guidelines for high quality benefit-cost analyses. These guidelines will provide a reference case that promotes comparability across analyses, and will include principles, methodological specifications, and reporting standards. They will build on the existing iDSI…
