In this course, students learn to assess and evaluate the efficiency of policy measures. Economic valuation methods and approaches are used to select optimal (IT) projects or proposals for both private sector firms and public authorities. The focus will be on quantifying direct effects (employees, investments, time, safety, health, climate, etc.) on stakeholders both in- and outside private and public organizations. For these purposes, economic evaluation tools such as cost-benefit analysis, cost effectiveness analysis and multi-criteria analysis will be applied. The theoretical and practical advantages and disadvantages of these various methods will be discussed by means of practical examples. Furthermore, the extent to which the correct use of these methods contributes to the decision-making process of governments and private sector firms will be discussed. In addition, dealing with various types of uncertainties throughout the analysis will be discussed and will learn to use sensitivity analysis (e.g. Monte Carlo simulation).
