Article on CBA in the yUKe

We were discussing cost-benefit analysis in EC 2003 last night, specifically the problem that occurs for environmental (and other long-lived social) concerns when we discount future costs and benefits.

As it happens, I found an article in my morning paper about just such a difficulty in the UK.
