Dynamic revenue estimation

Article Abstract:

The revenue and expenditure estimates are fluid enough to account for behavioral effects of some policies, but macroeconomic aggregates remain static in the process. Usage of macroeconomic data is possible in matters of major policy changes. Arguments against adding feedback information in estimation and scoring is based on presumed over-expenditure of the procedure and the likelihood of its limited benefits. However, fully dynamic forecasts may not be reliable, given the intense political atmosphere in which forecasts are made, and the uncertainties of collecting such forecasts.

Three sides of Harberger triangles

Article Abstract:

Harberger triangles refer to economic costs arising from price distortions which may occur as a result of tax policies. Harberger himself never used the term 'Harberger triangle', which was common by 1980. Harberger's work on deadweight triangles was important because it made analyzing distortions easier and more reliable. No one method can be described as totally 'right', and there are alternatives to Harberger triangles which have some advantages. Harberger did, however, allow progress to be made due to his triangles allowing estimates to be made more easily.
