Samenvatting

Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) is a widely used method for the ex-ante evaluation of transport projects, but has also received wide criticism for its limited appreciation of social and ecological effects. In this research we explore the relative contribution of different effect groups on recent CBA reports in the Netherlands and Flanders. Outcomes show that in CBA practice social- and ecological- criteria still amounts to only a small fraction of monetized effects, 16% and 3% respectively, and therefore have limited impact on CBA outcome
