Scope note: Método para comparar, en dólares o en otra moneda, el coste de un determinado programa con los beneficios esperados. La relación coste-beneficio es una medida del rendimiento total esperado por unidad de dinero invertido. Este análisis generalmente excluye la consideración de factores que, en última instancia, no se miden en términos económicos. En cambio, un análisis de coste-efectividad en general compara el coste con resultados cualitativos.

Scope note: A method of comparing the cost of a program with its expected benefits in dollars (or other currency). The benefit-to-cost ratio is a measure of total return expected per unit of money spent. This analysis generally excludes consideration of factors that are not measured ultimately in economic terms. In contrast a cost effectiveness in general compares cost with qualitative outcomes.
