Discount rates are central to all decisions with long-term implications, including co-benefits analyses that account for multiple costs and benefits distributed over time (Ackerman et al. 2009; Smith and Haigler 2008).
"Discount rates are central to all decisions with long-term implications, and the co-benefits of mitigation activities have multiple costs and benefits distributed over time," says lead author Justin Remais, an associate professor in environmental health at Emory University.
Valuation methods capable of considering trade-offs among multiple cost and benefit criteria under uncertainty are thus more likely to be policy relevant.

When t-norms and t-conorms are available, the goal programming is applied to minimize the deviation among the multiple costs of fuzzy flows and the given targets when the fuzzy supplies and demands are satisfied.
It adds that its all-in initial administration fee covers multiple costs such as viewings, references and contracts.
