Workshop - Introduction to Cost-Benefit Analysis for Evaluators (August 2024)

Virtual Instructor-Led Workshop

We will be facilitating a virtual instructor-led workshop over two half-day sessions (Tuesday 13 August 2024 and Tuesday 20 August 2024, both 10:00 am to 1.30 pm AEST) for the Australian Evaluation Society.

This interactive and practical workshop, which has been designed specifically for evaluators (and assumes no prior knowledge of cost-benefit analysis nor economics) will provide evaluators with an understanding of cost-benefit analysis (CBA), explain how CBA can and should be used in evaluation, provide practical guidance for undertaking a CBA and interpreting a CBA, and build personal confidence around CBA.

Workshop Start Times

  • 12:00 pm - New Zealand

  • 10:00 am - ACT, New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria

  • 09:30 am - Northern Territory, South Australia

  • 08:00 am - Western Australia

  • Other Time Zones

Why Attend?

CBA is an appraisal and economic evaluation technique that considers the economic, social, and environmental impacts of different projects, programs, and policies, in quantifiable and monetary terms.

Widely used as an ex-ante (forward-looking) technique for appraising options and informing social decision-making, cost-benefit analysis is becoming increasingly important in ex-post (after the event) economic evaluation.

Across state and territory governments, CBA is the preferred method of economic assessment.

Learning Outcomes

Key learning outcomes will include increased understanding of:

  • The role of CBA in evaluation

  • When and why an evaluator would use CBA

  • How CBA compares to other types of economic analysis

  • Types of CBA

  • Key concepts in CBA

  • How to undertake a CBA

  • Practical issues and challenges associated with undertaking a CBA

  • How to review, interpret and communicate results of a CBA

  • Where to find useful resources for CBA

Workshop Audience

This workshop is designed as Foundational.

Optional Office Hours

In addition to the two half-day workshops, optional ‘group office hours’ will be offered for those participants wanting to engage more deeply with the program or ask any questions outside of the main workshop.
