Very High

Arising from a cost benefit analysis (CBA) the benefit to costs ratio for Galileo is 4·6 – very high for an infrastructure investment project. A substantial proportion of the user benefits arise from the aviation sector and the estimates are described in Galileo documents as ‘conservative’ and ‘unquestionable’. This paper analyses the calculations used to support the benefits to aviation and examines the questionable assumptions and statements that are shown to be based on an incorrect understanding of the air transport sector. The paper concludes that the aviation benefits could be considerably overstated and that an analysis, more soundly based on airport operations, air traffic control and future strategic changes, is required.

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.

This article analyzes definitions and the role of hostile takeovers at the Russian and European markets for corporate control. It develops the methodology of assessing the efficiency of anti-takeover defenses adapted to the conditions of the Russian market. The paper uses the cost-benefit analysis, where the costs and benefits of the pre-bid and post-bid defenses are compared.
