6 Potential Pitfalls
Things to pay attention to when doing a cost benefit
analysis of a change:
1. It is an analysis of a change. So we will compare
before and after.
2. We need to account for all quantities. For example,
if in the beginning the US buys 60 pounds of steel,
some of which are produced domestically while the
rest is imported. In a cost benefit analysis of a tariff on
steel, it would be wrong to focus on just the increase in
US production of steel. We need to account for all 60
pounds instead of just a portion of it.
