Why distribution is important : an examination of equity and efficiency criteria in benefit-cost analysis / by Walter Hettich.: EC22-2/1971-19E-PDF
"The present paper deals with what is perhaps the most crucial issue -- the goals or objectives that government decision-makers are expected to pursue. Two goals -- efficiency and equity -- are singled out for special attention. The paper analyses implementation of these goals through benefit-cost analysis -- an essential ingredient in PPB. Since the emphasis is on theoretical issues, the discussion will make use of a highly simplified model of the decision-making process"--Introd., p. [1].
