Shadow Pricing Shadow PricingIn a cost-benefit analysis, the assignment of a dollar value to an intangible asset or liability that cannot be sold. Shadow pricing is arbitrary; that is, because these assets and liabilities cannot be sold, and analysts must make an educated guess on their value. An example of shadow pricing occurs in the cost-benefit analysis of building a factory. The analysis must calculate the cost of blight on the neighborhood in which the factory is built. Because there is no way to put a real value on the cost of blight, shadow pricing assigns an arbitrary value to it. |
