Handbook on economic analysis of investment operations
Operations Policy Department
This Handbook has been developed to provide World Bank staff with analytical tools that are solidly grounded in economic theory, yet practical and simple to use, and to make the Bank’s approach to the economic evaluation of projects more transparent— for clients, stakeholders, donors, and co-financiers. The Handbook offers a set of usable tools that integrate financial, economic, and fiscal analysis and permit analysts and decision makers to look at a project from the perspective of various stakeholders, particularly the implementing agency, the fisc, and society in general.
