520			_aThis paper begins with a discussion of three brief examples of the application versus non-application of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) or CBA-type approaches: the author's own early work on the comparative economics of community resource-use in south-east Asia; Michael Cernea's recent analysis of World Bank studies of resettlement; and thirdly, the ongoing debate in the US about national environmental accounting. The author examines the patern of inter-disciplinary relations that is revealed in these examples, focusing on issues of differential inter-disciplinary prestige, inter-disciplinary borrowing, and the maturation cycles of inter-disciplinary fields. It conclude; with an examination, through parodies of CBA, of how emotional responses to boundary-crossing have led towards a partial and flawed vision of CBA and highlights the need to simultaneously both use and problematise CBA. - Reproduced
