Recenzijas
'This book should prove valuable for the individual interested in the technical aspects of discounting for energy project selection as well as for the reader wanting only a general overview of the topic. It has a wide application for not only the researcher, but also for use in the college classroom and the policy making arena...very comprehensive coverage of the issues involved in the selection of a discount rate for investment decisions.'
