Excited to share new work on the returns to US environmental policy. We use the MVPF framework to examine 96 policies spanning subsidies, nudges and revenue raisers. Check out this thread from @nhendren82:

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

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/:

@MrBeast @MrBeast This is a great point! There's actually a whole website where economists @nhendren82 @bsprungkeyser listed all the policies like this where gov't gets more back in taxes than it pays for them (we call this MVPF of ♾) #eyJmaWx0ZXJzIjp7ImJlbmVmaWNpYXJ5X3R5cGVzIjpbXSwiYmVuZWZpY2lhcnlfYWdlIjoiIiwiYmVuZWZpY2lhcnlfaW5jb21lIjoiIiwiY291bnRyeSI6IlVTIn0sInBhZ2VOdW1iZXIiOjF9" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">policyimpacts.org/policy-impacts…
