摘要

新西兰财政部表示，重要的公共部门决策应以成本效益分析(CBA)为依据。本文探讨了应对COVID-19的政策决策是否易于处理，是否符合CBA。它通过一个可行的例子来说明这一点:CBA使用当时已知的信息，决定在2020年4月20日将警戒级别4的限制再延长5天。本文的结论是，这种分析既易于处理，又为COVID-19决策提供了有价值的投入。

A social cost–benefit framework for COVID-19 policy decisions

Important public sector decisions should be informed by cost–benefit analysis (CBA), according to the New Zealand Treasury. This paper explores whether policy decisions about COVID-19 responses are tractable and amenable to ex ante CBA. It does so with a worked example: a CBA of the decision to extend alert level 4 restrictions by a further 5 days on 20 April 2020, using the information that was known at the time. The paper concludes that such analysis is both tractable and a worthwhile input into COVID-19 decision making.
