the purpose of this article is to evaluate the pivotal irrigated wheat project by cost-benefit analysis method in order to find the internal rate of return and the ratio of present value of net benefits to costs.to this end, we have estimated the economic surplus created due to shift in wheat supply , as result ofimplementation ofthe project and have calculated the above criteria. we found that...

this paper seeks to understand the role of the cost of pollution from vehicles fuel in feasibility of cng national plan. optimal control theory is used with two target functions, one with and another without the cost of pollution. model results indicate the high importance of pollution cost in the project feasibility, in such a way that without consideration of that the project will be infeasib...
