Course Details
• Advanced Cost-Benefit Analysis Techniques – This unit will cover the advanced methodologies of cost-benefit analysis, including the use of discount rates, sensitivity analysis, and risk assessment. It will also delve into the application of these techniques in various industries and project types.
• Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) – In this unit, students will learn about the principles and practices of Life Cycle Cost Analysis, a comprehensive approach to estimating and evaluating the costs and benefits of a project over its entire life cycle.
• Cost-Effectiveness Analysis (CEA) – Students will explore the use of Cost-Effectiveness Analysis as an alternative or complement to cost-benefit analysis. This unit will cover the concepts, techniques, and applications of CEA, including its use in decision-making and resource allocation.
• Social Cost-Benefit Analysis (SCBA) – This unit will focus on the extension of cost-benefit analysis to incorporate social and environmental impacts and outcomes. SCBA requires the monetization of non-market values, such as externalities, and the consideration of distributional effects and equity.
• Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) – In this unit, students will learn about the use of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis as a framework for evaluating projects based on multiple, often conflicting, criteria. MCDA methods, such as AHP, ANP, TOPSIS, and PROMETHEE, will be introduced and illustrated with practical examples.
• Real Options Analysis (ROA) – This unit will cover the principles and practices of Real Options Analysis, a flexible and dynamic approach to project evaluation that takes into account the value of flexibility and uncertainty. ROA methods, such as decision trees, Monte Carlo simulation, and binomial models, will be discussed and applied.
• Sensitivity Analysis & Scenario Planning – Students will learn how to use sensitivity analysis and scenario planning to assess the robustness and uncertainty of project evaluations. This unit will cover the use of various techniques, such as deterministic, probabilistic, and interval analysis, to stress-test project appraisals and inform decision-making.
