The Copenhagen Consensus has looked at the economic return on investing large amounts of money into solving various problems -- reduce CO2, healthier foods for children, fight terrorists, prevent malaria, etc.
I don't think anyone argues that we should prioritize our investments of energy, people, and money strictly by projected economic return. But it is useful to go through the analysis, because it uncovers certain biases and assumptions. In short, it's humbling to our pride.
BTW, training and supporting missionaries isn't on their list.
