Features: This book was published based on teaching practices in 1987. It underwent revisions in 1994. In the nearly ten years following the revision, the application of technical and economic evaluation methods in China has been greatly popularized. The research on technical economics has also transitioned from primarily introducing methods to in-depth exploration and improvement of these methods, with a growing understanding of each evaluation indicator. Additionally, the application of computer technology, mathematical theories, and models has established a more scientific foundation for evaluation methods and parameter acquisition. In terms of content, this book emphasizes clear concepts and strives for comprehensive analysis, accompanied by numerous examples to help readers achieve a certain depth of understanding for each issue and accurately apply the methods. In the arrangement of theory and practice, it leans toward practical applications while also introducing theories or knowledge closely related to evaluation. This book provides a brief introduction to the application of game theory and option thinking in technical and economic evaluation, aiming to indicate development trends and draw readers' attention. Those seeking deeper understanding can refer to relevant materials. With the purpose of cultivating evaluation skills, the book briefly introduces some different viewpoints or schools of thought to prevent restricting readers' thinking and to give them opportunities for self-understanding, application, improvement, and innovation. This fosters flexible thinking. To broaden readers' knowledge, in addition to focusing on commonly used evaluation methods, the book also introduces other methods. It strives to provide relatively comprehensive information to help readers grasp the full picture of technical and economic evaluation indicators, thereby broadening their horizons. For the convenience of readers, this book includes multiple appendices for reference and provides five compound interest coefficient tables for consultation.
