Clive Bell's graduate text addresses the use of public economics in the formulation of development policy. Particular emphasis is placed on social cost-benefit analysis as a means to controlling public expenditure decisions.

This work is written out of a conviction that development economics needs to draw more heavily and systematically on recent advances in knowledge made in public economics - especially where the formulation and analysis of development policy are concerned.
