Assessment of projects ICRE 2007/2008

CPB Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis has been requested by the government to assess a number of projects submitted for funding by a budget called ‘FES’. This publication presents the assessment of 10 projects.

The central question in the assessment is whether the project is expected to contribute to social welfare. The goal of the assessment is to provide information to the Dutch cabinet for its final selection process.

Three projects have received a positive evaluation, three a neutral (to positive) one, and five projects a negative assessment (one project was assessed as two different parts).

Given the short time span, the analysis has the character of a quick scan.

This publication is in Dutch.
