Direct benefits are those that are directly received by the beneficiaries of a project or policy, while indirect benefits are those that are received by other parties.

Direct benefits are those that are realized immediately, while indirect benefits are those that are realized over time.

Direct benefits are those that are tangible and quantifiable, while indirect benefits are those that are intangible and difficult to quantify.

Direct benefits are those that are positive, while indirect benefits are those that are negative.

To assess the impact of changes in input parameters on the overall results of the analysis.

To identify the most important factors that contribute to the economic impact of a project or policy.

To evaluate the uncertainty associated with the economic impact estimates.

To determine the optimal level of investment for a project or policy.

Experimental methods involve randomly assigning participants to different treatment and control groups, while non-experimental methods do not.

Experimental methods are more expensive and time-consuming than non-experimental methods.

Experimental methods are more accurate and reliable than non-experimental methods.

Experimental methods are more ethical than non-experimental methods.

To represent the situation that would have occurred in the absence of the policy intervention.

To compare the actual outcomes of a policy intervention with the expected outcomes.

To identify the most effective policy intervention among several alternatives.

Economic efficiency refers to the optimal allocation of resources, while economic equity refers to the fair distribution of resources.

Economic efficiency is measured by the Pareto efficiency criterion, while economic equity is measured by the Gini coefficient.

Economic efficiency is always desirable, while economic equity is not always desirable.

Economic efficiency is a subjective concept, while economic equity is an objective concept.

Direct costs are those that are directly incurred by the project or policy, while indirect costs are those that are incurred by other parties.

Direct costs are those that are realized immediately, while indirect costs are those that are realized over time.

Direct costs are those that are tangible and quantifiable, while indirect costs are those that are intangible and difficult to quantify.

Direct costs are those that are positive, while indirect costs are those that are negative.

To identify the key stakeholders who are affected by or have an interest in the project or policy.

To assess the potential impacts of the project or policy on different stakeholder groups.

To develop strategies to engage stakeholders and address their concerns.
