This book would not have been possible without the institutional support and encouragement I have received throughout its development. I am especially grateful to James Cook University (JCU) Open eBooks for its commitment to open educational resources and for facilitating the Pressbooks publication platform, which enabled this work to be shared widely and freely.
I would like to thank my colleagues, students, and workshop participants over the years who have challenged and enriched my understanding of Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) through thoughtful dialogue and applied learning. Their practical insights have shaped the way I teach, research, and apply economic evaluation in real-world contexts.
Finally, I am deeply appreciative of the support I’ve received from the broader public sector and policy community through numerous training programs, which have reinforced the relevance of this work and the need for accessible, evidence-based decision-making tools.
