Awesome to see the CBO acknowledge the long-term impact of policy on both human capital development and government savings. This aligns with our findings at @PolicyImpacts

Each additional $1 spent auditing high-income taxpayers brings in more than $12 (!) in revenue. Too bad Congress, uhh, just defunded the IRS's efforts to audit high-income taxpayers. wapo.st/3NtqpFm
What are the returns to IRS tax audits? How do they vary across the income distribution? In a new paper🚨, we find that $1 spent auditing high-income taxpayers yields more than $12 in revenue. For an overview, check out @crampell’s coverage 1/: washingtonpost.com/opinions/inter…
New Paper Alert 🚨 We estimate the returns to IRS tax audits across the income distribution. We find $1 of IRS spending on audits of top earners delivers more than $12 of tax revenue. Along the way, we provide new evidence of the strong specific deterrence effects of audits. 1/:

Thank you so much @PolicyImpacts for this amazing opportunity! Excited to contribute to the MVPF literature in my JMP!
Congratulations to the recipients of the Early Career Scholars Grant at @PolicyImpacts. Thanks to everyone who applied - so many exciting projects ongoing with the MVPF!
Sad to see free Community Colleges get killed in the negotiation here. @nhendren82's estimates of the MVPF — the marginal value of public funds — suggest pretty substantial benefits from CC tuition cuts. wsj.com/articles/biden…
Excited to tune in for the @PolicyImpacts conference!
A great initiative by @nhendren82 and @bsprungkeyser. The MVPF is very useful for policymakers confronting tradeoffs. Follow @PolicyImpacts !
We are excited to introduce you to Policy Impacts, a new research and policy organization dedicated to improving government decision-making through rigorous, standardized policy evaluation. [🧵- 1/9]
This is a **Big Deal** for all those interested in public policy: a new organization called Policy Impacts (spin off from @OppInsights) was launched today by @nhendren82 @dawill333 @bsprungkeyser & Ellen Stuart policyimpacts.org
Great that @nhendren82 and @bsprungkeyser have created this resource for researchers, practitioners and policy makers! Delighted to present my work on the LR benefits of #SNAP for children in the inaugural conference. Joint work with @martha_j_bailey @maya_rossin Reed Walker.
On August 12 from 1-5pm, we are hosting an inaugural virtual conference featuring presentations from researchers who are incorporating MVPFs into their research, including @HilaryHoynes @lkatz42 @elisajacome @metrics52, Amy Finkelstein, and Christopher Walters. [5/8]
