Abstract: Developing countries will invest significant resources in rural electrification projects in the 1980s. Up to now, there has been little discussion in the economics literature concerning the appropriate method of evaluating such projects. This paper outlines such a methodology and, then, it is applied in a case-study of a proposed rural electrification project in Pakistan. Finally, important areas for fu ture research are identified.
