A CBA model of a hydro project in Sri Lanka
by Risako Morimoto, Chris Hope
International Journal of Global Energy Issues (IJGEI), Vol. 21, No. 1/2, 2004

Abstract: This study demonstrates an empirical application of a cost benefit analysis for hydro projects, which includes social and environmental as well as economic aspects. The model treats uncertain inputs by specifying them as probability distributions. A proposed hydro project in Sri Lanka is used as a case study. The study uses time variable discount rates related to economic growth and investigates the sensitivity of the net present value to the choice of a discount rate.
