Problems in the Assessment of Large-Scale Projects
https://doi.org/10.34020/2073-6495-2019-4-026-040
Abstract
This paper analyzes problems revealed by practice of implementation of large-scale projects (megaprojects). It discusses features of large-scale projects, namely, their impact on the whole economy and high uncertainty regarding conditions of their implementation, as well as possibilities of the standard approach to assessing social efficiency of investment projects to adequately take account of these features. Some ways to solve the problems under consideration are proposed.
