图书馆成本效益分析实施方法的原理和应用效果分析

The Principle and Application Effect Analysis of the Methods for Implementing Cost-benefit Analysis of Libraries

由于公共预算压力,图书馆需要通过经济价值评估证明其存在价值。成本效益分析和经济影响分析是经济价值评估的主要方法,由于经济影响分析的局限,图书馆一般采用成本效益分析。本项研究论述了成本效益分析三种实施方法的原理,并基于国外图书馆成本效益分析的实证案例,对三种实施方法的效度进行比较分析。研究发现:①条件价值法、消费者剩余法和时间价值法的评估结果之间的数量关系;②条件价值法、消费者剩余法和时间价值法的效度排序;③推荐国内各类图书馆宜采用的评估实施方法。

For the increasing pressure on the library budgets, libraries need to prove their existing value through evaluating the monetary value. Cost-benefit analysis and economic impact analysis are the major methods for estimating the economic value, libraries usually adopt cost-benefit analysis due to the limitations of economic impact analysis. This study expounded the principles of three methods for implementing cost- benefit analysis, and comparatively analysed the validity of the three methods based on several empirical applications from foreign libraries. Findings： （1）The quantitative relations among the valuation results of contingent valuation method, consumer surplus method and time value method; （2） The validity rank of contingent valuation method, consumer surplus method and time value method; （3） Which methods should be adopted by each kind of domestic libraries for implementing cost-benefit analysis.
