A study assessed the feasibility of conducting a national cost-benefit analysis of vocational education and presented recommendations for future research on the relationship between vocational education costs and benefits. Following an analysis of the state of the art in utilizing cost-benefit methodologies to evaluate vocational education, a review was conducted of the measurement problems that might confront a study team performing a cost-benefit analysis; then, after consultation with technical experts, strategies for developing a cost-benefit model of vocational education were formulated and implemented. The model (which included variables in the areas of monetary benefits, non-pecuniary benefits, current costs, and opportunity costs) then became the subject of a Delphi analysis. Input was collected from technical experts participating in the Delphi analysis with respect to the desirability and feasibility of the components of the specified model as well as the feasibility of overcoming some anticipated modeling and implementation problems. Analysis of thse comments resulted in a series of recommendations for a national cost-benefit study. The survey and its results are included in the study report.
