In particular, we focus on the shortcomings of Cost-Benefit Analysis when the project is large and when network effects are not negligible, and we propose further research on risk assessment and time discounting for long term and risky investments.} url={http://www.francoangeli.it/Riviste/Scheda_rivista.aspx?idArticolo=40544}, author={Marco Percoco and Lanfranco Senn} pages={5-14}, language={EN}}
