The Cost

This paper considered more comprehensive than traditional cost-benefit analysis. Spillover benefits and spillover cost were included. It also combined the development present situation of Hebei wind power generation enterprises and the corresponding policy of the twelfth five-year plan. It studied the development countermeasures of Hebei wind power generation enterprises from the perspective of comprehensive cost benefit with the purpose of easing the tension situation of energy and realizing the goal of energy saving.

The paper analyzes shortcomings of economic impact studies based mainly on input- output models that are often employed in Russia as well as abroad. Using studies about sport events in the USA and Olympic Games that took place during the last 30 years we reveal advantages of the cost-benefit analysis approach in obtaining unbiased assessments of public investments efficiency; the step-by-step method of cost-benefit analysis is presented in the paper as well. We employ the project of Sochi-2014 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Russia to evaluate its efficiency using cost-benefit analysis for five accounts (areas of impact), namely government, households, environment, economic development, and social development, and calculate the net present value of the project taking into account its possible alternatives. In conclusion we suggest several policy directions that would enhance public investment efficiency within the Sochi-2014 Olympics.
