AFI 65-501 — Economic Analysis

What changed in this edition

This document has been substantially revised and needs to be completely reviewed. Major changes include: Air Force Instructions (AFIs) 65-501 and 65-509 have been combined to form one Instruction; a clarification was added that economic analysis is both an analytical approach to decision-making and one of many products resulting from the analytical approach; a clarification was added that all comparative analysis products (e.g., Cost Benefit Analysis, Analysis of Alternatives, Business Case Analysis, etc.) fit under the umbrella of the economic analysis approach and are subject to this Instruction (consistent with Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 7041.03). As a result, this Instruction now uses one term, comparative analysis, to refer to all types of analysis that result from using the economic analysis approach and uses the term comparative analysis product for the document resulting from a comparative analysis

Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.
