    Growing up as a seventh generation Tejano, food has always been at the core of my family traditions, discussions and sometimes-even arguments. If you are thinking what can you argue about food, then you must have never made the mistake of saying that someone charro beans are the best you have ever tasted in the presence of your Mom, Grandma and any other female in your family all at the same time. Besides being Tejano I grew up in a family that is full of restaurateurs: from chefs and cooks to servers and caterers.

    Cost-benefit analysis (CBA), in essence, is a tool for decision making. It can be applied to almost any kind of decision in any kind of field. In its most pure form, a CBA will aggregate the pros and cons (positive and negative effects) of a proposal, and, if the pros (benefits) outweigh the cons (costs), the proposal is viable. Usually, the analyst will assign monetary values to each of the costs and benefits, hence making the analysis easier to calculate, even if the cost and benefits per se are intangible, and thus, not directly expressible in money values. Problems often arise in how to assess the monetary values of both tangible and intangible effects, which may lead to skewed and biased results. One of the reasons for this is that most cost-benefit analyses are done so-called ex ante, before a project or proposal or policy is carried out or implemented.…
