Principles and Standards for Benefit-Cost Analysis of Early Childhood Interventions

The objective of this paper is to delineate a set of principles and standards for conducting BCAs of early childhood programs. Such principles and standards can guide the methodological choices that analysts need to make when performing BCAs for one or more early childhood programs and they can support greater transparency in the results the analysts provide. The principles and standards can also support consumers of the BCA results in their need to understand the methods employed and the comparability across different studies.
