Environmental Economics Question:

A city is thinking about building a new expressway that will go through downtown. Construction occurs in periods 0, 1 and 2. The costs for each of these periods is $100. The benefits accrue in periods 2, 3 and 4, and equal $150. The discount rate is equal to 50%.

Calculate the present value of net benefits. Should the city build the freeway? And recommend a policy given the numerical value.

1. Share one personal experience (job or observation or from your readings) related to any one modern technology used to improve construction process. Is the technology widely used in the industry? If not, what do you think is the main obstacle in its wider application?
2. Do you agree that green buildings can produce savings for property owners and tenants alike? Please discuss by providing at least one example.
