CBAs have been conducted of six proposed projects. None of these projects are mutually exclusive and the
Question:
Group I consists of households with annual incomes over $25,000, while Group II consists of households with annual incomes under $25,000.
- According to the net benefit rule, which of these projects should be funded?
- For which of the projects might distributional considerations be an issue?
- Compute internal distributional weights for the projects you selected in 2.b. Using these weights, indicate the circumstances under which each project might actually be undertaken.
- Recompute social net benefits for the six projects using a distributional weight of 1 for Group I and a distributional weight of 2 for Group II. Using these weight-adjusted net social benefit estimates, indicate the circumstances under which each project might actually be undertaken. In doing this, assume that the distributional weight for Group II is an upper bound-that is, it probably overstates societys true generosity toward low-income households
