Investment Project Selection Methods for the Provision of State Support Measures

Abstract

In the world theory and practice, investment and project analysis is based on cost-benefit analysis, aimed at assessing commercial and economic efficiency of investment projects. The existing methodologies, guidelines and regulations used by state authorities in different countries to select investment projects for the provision of state support measures include the main aspects and criteria of cost-benefit analysis, but at the same time, contain a number of significant drawbacks. The author has developed a new selection methodology for investment projects to provide state support measures, taking into account imperfections of the existing methodological approaches as well as criteria of the applicable regulations, which is recommended for practices in the territory of the Russian Federation. The article provides the examples on how to adapt it and a comparative analysis of the results of the investment project selection.
