A Preliminary Benefit/Cost Framework for Counterterrorism Public Expenditures
Overview This paper examines a number of public finance issues related to large public expenditures for counterterrorism policies. Foremost in any discussion on the subject is derivation of rough estimates of the aggregate benefits and costs attendant upon such an effort. The analysis approach in this paper should provide a framework for benefit/cost analysis of particular policies, and thus for construction of rough but reasonable ranking among the myriad potential actions decision-makers might consider. The paper should be of interest to analysts and policymakers involved in allocating resources in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
