摘要

This paper uses business cases for three contemporary Australian mega transport proposals to examine the extent to which societal costs and benefits are properly evaluated in public investment decisions about such projects. It analyses project-related costs and benefits omitted or inadequately evaluated in the cost-benefit analyses of business cases for Stage 2 (the eastern section) of Melbourne’s East West Link tollroad, Sydney’s WestConnex tollroad, and Brisbane’s Cross River Rail. The omissions identified mean the rationale of business cases to reduce wasteful, politically-driven decisions is being lost. Instead, the omissions help business cases give ex post justification for decisions already made.本文考察澳大利亚当代三个超大型交通工程的案例，探讨如何正确评估这一类工程的社会成本和收益。文章涉及的三项工程分别是墨尔本东西线收费公路二期工程（东段）、悉尼WestConnex收费公路和布里斯班跨河铁路，分析了其中未计算或估算不足的成本和收益。这些未计入的成本收益说明这些工程不会像商业行为那样尽力减少浪费，不以政治为决定依据，而是为已经做出的决定找补合理的理由。KEYWORDS: Mega transport projects, cost-benefit analysis, omitted planning costs, WestConnex, East West Link, Cross River RailDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
