This paper draws from a recent ex-post evaluation carried out for the European Commission aimed at assessing the long term effects produced by a sample of ten major infrastructures in the Transport and Environment sectors and interpreting the key determinants of the observed performance. It discusses some methodological and institutional implications related to the use of cost-benefit analysis with an ex-post perspective.

Keywords: Cost-benefit analysis, ex-post evaluation, infrastructure, cohesion policy
