I’m so glad Danny Yagan produce this analysis. It’s a very important, but under explored, way of thinking about debt sustainability.




Last April, Natasha Sarin Danny Yagan and I launched The Budget Lab. We were excited about our team and what we were planning to produce - but absolutely could not have predicted this wild year 1/

Hard to think of an organization having a more impactful first year than The Budget Lab. They’ve quickly become a go-to for rapid, comprehensive, and innovative analysis around a range of tax and budget issues.

Full disclosure: I'm friends with everyone involved but when they first consulted with me about their ideas for The Budget Lab I thought it was worth a try but skeptical that it could accomplish 25% of what their ambitious plans. It is currently running closer to 400%.

.The Budget Lab has had an amazing first year. I have used their analysis many times. Congratulations Martha Gimbel, Natasha Sarin, Danny Yagan, Ernie Tedeschi, et al.
