The term incommensurate objectives should not be taken to mean that such trade-offs cannot be measured. The analyst’s role is to reveal and clarify problems of trade-offs between incommensurate objectives and to try to obtain indicators of the extent to which alternative expenditure projects attain the various incommensurate objectives. Such information will then enable decision-makers to make the required trade-offs in the selection of projects.
