Treatment of inflation in engineering economic analysis

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: Recent increases in inflation rates make it essential that inflation be properly treated in engineering economic analysis. This paper develops a systematic and internally consistent approach to the treatment of inflation in such analyses. The problems of inconsistent treatment of inflation are discussed and several examples are given.
