Relative to baseline departure rates, an additional 0.8 percent of the residential tax base that landed in the top bracket left California in 2013. Using matched out-of-state taxpayers as controls reveals an income elasticity with respect to the marginal net -of -tax rate of 2.5-3.2 for high earners who staye...

Hence, while public policy often aims to keep people in the workforce longer, the...

摘要：Local governments spend over $12 billion annually funding the operation of 15,427 public libraries in the United States , yet we know little about their effects. We use data describing the near universe of public libraries to show that public library capital investment increases library visits , children's attendance at library events , and children's circulation by an average of 5-15 percent in the years following investment. Increases in library use translate into improved test scores in nea...

摘要：We study hassle costs versus information provision in explaining how prescription drug monitoring programs (PDMPs) decrease opioid prescribing. PDMPs aim to reduce opioid prescribing through information provision but may also unintentionally affect prescribing through the hassle of required record checks. We analyze Kentucky's landmark PDMP to disentangle these two mechanisms. Hassle costs reduce opioid prescribing across the board, including to opioid-naive patients; however, physicians conti...
