This series is for individuals who want to learn - or review - the basic economics of conservation. In this video, you will learn why you discount the future in cost-benefit analysis. Concepts include discount rates, weighted average discount rates, economic opportunity costs of capital and financial vs. economic discount rates.

    Omg... I'll say it again: omg! After watching tons of technical videos (which for some reason doesn't compute with my type of learning style), -the creator(s) of this video delivered the same information in a way which matches my learning style and it was super easy to digest. It took me months to understand this concept until right now! I imagine that creating this nifty cartoon animation and writing the narrative while piecing it all together through editing was a ton of hard work and took hours upon hours to do with a 7min 46sec presentation. So just wanted to tell you guys that I'm indebted and trying to express my sincerest gratitude in creating this video -which in the future will be viewed by thousands... You have my thanks and appreciation and hope to pay it forward one day

    So many people -- including those in the realm producing educational content on finance -- mistakenly conflate time-value-of-money with inflation; it is thus that much more satisfying to come across this excellent segment.
    Thank you very much.

    Wow, like the others have said... After 20 other video attempts, I feel so RELIEVED and GRATEFUL to finally find these videos and understand what discount rate actually is. So many others just tell you the discount rate "discounts against future value" and then move right along. It literally makes my head hurt just to think about it lol

    Wonderful video. It explained some ideas in my Environmental Science class better than the textbook, and the animations were entertaining and funny. Thanks.
    My only requests are time stamps for sections and a transcription of the voice-over. Both would make taking notes and making flashcards much easier.
    Overall, well done and much appreciated.

    Good video but I think it could be improved by mentioning how market set interest rates (here called "discount rates" many times) are DIFFERENT from individually (or organizationally) set discount rates (aka "time value of money"). This difference explains why some people are borrowers (higher discount rates of 10% b/c impatient) while others are lenders (lower discount rates of 3% b/c patient), with both happy to set interest rates for the loans in between (say 5%). For CBA, you can use discount rates OR interest rates, as long as you are clear on the difference.

    I am having trouble understanding how precisely we are Discounting something. If we are making a resort park; are we talking about putting a discount on the tickets? how would that translate into an architectural project? how would we discount a house being built? thank you

    • @svais
      @svais 7 лет назад +2

      GraeYstaG Discounting when calculating the costs or benefits of a project in the future means the value you put on the money that you will have to pay or gain in the future rather than at the present. Higher risk projects have a higher discount rate for money gained in the future as the risk of not getting anything is higher. Relating to tickets - the higher the risk rate or the need to have money today, the higher the ticket price.

      do we consider inflation in discount rates?

  • @alex_zetsu
    @alex_zetsu 5 лет назад +1

    it might be better to ask if someone wanted $100 in 2014 dollars today or $300 in 2014 dollars later. Why? Prices always go up. So your example is kind of screwed up. It's not that humans don't value the present, we do. It is just that your example really demonstrates inflation instead. 10 years from now, $100 is worth less.

    You're term of "weight" towards the future is beyond me. If I have a discount rate of 5% I have less in present value than I do if my discount rate is at 3%. So how is 5 percent less weight in the future?
