The paper analyzes shortcomings of economic impact studies based mainly on input- output models that are often employed in Russia as well as abroad. Using studies about sport events in the USA and Olympic Games that took place during the last 30 years we reveal advantages of the cost-benefit analysis approach in obtaining unbiased assessments of public investments efficiency; the step-by-step method of cost-benefit analysis is presented in the paper as well. We employ the project of Sochi-2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Russia to evaluate its efficiency using cost-benefit analysis for five accounts (areas of impact), namely government, households, environment, economic development, and social development, and calculate the net present value of the project taking into account its possible alternatives. In conclusion we suggest several policy directions that would enhance public investment efficiency within the Sochi-2014 Olympics.

This paper reexamines the case for discounting for time in public investment appraisal where long-term or irreversible effects on future generations are involved. It is concluded that—while, in the short-term, considerations of equity reinforce the commonly advocated case for discounting for time—in evaluating long-term or irreversible effects, current discounting procedures require the doubtful assumption of perpetual exponential growth of real income. However, if discounting were abandoned, use of the standard cost—benefit-analysis framework would require the forecasting of shadow prices for all future dates, unless an arbitrary time horizon is adopted. Thus cost—benefit analysis does not appear to be a satisfactory method for evaluating effects on future generations.

ABSTRACTThis paper examines approaches to public investment appraisal as theyare currently recommended in the British Treasury and implemented byevaluation units within the Department of Health, Department of Transport and the Home Office. The evidence suggests that spending departments have reacted to the pressure for increased selectivity in their expenditures by adopting a heterogeneous blend of appraisal techniques, including financial analysis, cost-effectiveness and option appraisal, withcost-benefit analysis eventually playing a minor role. The imposition of cash limits rations capital expenditures. When these constraints bite departments differently, either a unique social discount rate for projectappraisal is inappropriate or the rations themselves are giving wrong signals to the departments The departments do not have an incentive todevote time and effort to cost benefit analysis and other techniques of a more limited scope are implemented.

The decision to intervene in Railway Infrastructures (RI) in a sustainable way is complex, because the involved costs require different assessment levels, given their relevance to all stakeholders in decision-making, and are not always easily quantifiable. Following recent decisions of the EU, it is urgent to carry studies to support RI sustainable interventions. In this context, the use of methodologies based on Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) contributes positively to base decisions on RI investment projects. CBA is a methodology to assess the net economic impact of a public investment project and can be used for a variety of interventions. CBA is based on the conversion to monetary values of all costs and benefits, even when they are intangible. The purpose of a CBA is to evaluate if a project is feasible from the point of view of social welfare through the algebraic sum of their costs and benefits discounted over time. This paper presents a framework for the assessment of RI sustainable projects based on CBA, which integrates the development of community policies and financial instruments. It aims to provide technical support and contribute to the reflection about co-financing rates modulation.

In this paper examines the economic assessment of the investment funds in agriculture, sources and toward of public capital to agricultural activities, forestry and fisheries in Uzbekistan. Also, analyzed a profit taken from farm activity and the assessed public investment funds spent to agricultural activity. Factors impact to farm activity benefits have also been studied. The analysis used data from a social survey conducted on 44 farms in terms of distance not far from each other. It was found that investment funds at a rate of 1% (p <.01) plays a statistically significant role in increasing the profitability of farms from production activities. It is scientifically justified to increase the amount of investment funds involved in the activities of farms by 1 unit, which will increase the amount of income from activities by 22.6%. In the case of an increase in the profit received from the production activities of farms, the investment amount is increased by 1 percent (p<.01) statistically important significance was determined. It is scientifically justified to increase the amount of investment funds involved in the activities of farms by 1 unit, which will increase the amount of income from activities by 22.6%. KEYWORDS: profit, investment, investment funds, sources of investment, “robust (consolidation)”, “strengthen”.
