CBO’s Recent Publications and Work in Progress as of December 31, 2021 JANUARY 2022 To provide the Congress with a comprehensive review of its work, the Congressional Budget Office publishes quarterly reports, like this one, highlighting recent work and summarizing work in progress. 1 Recent Work Over the past three months, CBO has provided a variety of budget and economic analyses, fulfilling the agency’s core mission of supporting the Congress during each stage of the legislative process. The agency has published 122 cost estimates for legislation that was reported by a committee or that was the subject of a motion to be placed on the consensus calendar. Much of that work was related to H.R. 5376, the Build Back Better Act. Before the House of Representatives passed that legislation, CBO released detailed estimates for each of the bill’s titles as well as a summary of the bill’s budgetary effects; all told, CBO prepared more than 200 pages of tables. A compilation of that work is available on the agency’s website. CBO also published supplemental information on related topics, such as the economic effects of expanding subsidized child care. Furthermore, CBO published a letter that estimated the budgetary effects of making specified policies in H.R. 5376 permanent rather than temporary. In addition, since its last quarterly report on work in progress, CBO has released 17 reports and working papers; they satisfied statutory requirements, fulfilled Congressional requests, or provided economic and budgetary analysis or technical information (see Table 1 on page 5). Some of those publications provided analysis of the economic and budgetary situation. On November 30, CBO updated its projections of when the government, constrained by the statutory limit on federal debt, would run out of cash and be unable to pay its obligations fully. CBO also produced the next edition of a recurring report on its projections of federal receipts and expenditures in the national income and product accounts, which track current economywide production and the resulting income and show how the federal budget fits within that framework. CBO’s products also presented analysis to inform policy discussion and debate. One report examined the distribution of major tax expenditures in 2019. Another analyzed how the Veterans Community Care Program has affected veterans’ access to care. 1. For the previous report, see Congressional Budget Office, CBO’s Recent Publications and Work in Progress as of September 30, 2021 (October 2021), www.cbo.gov/publication/57428.
CBO’S RECENT PUBLICATIONS AND WORK IN PROGRESS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2021 JANUARY 2022
Other recent publications explained how CBO does its work. A slide deck described how tax
analyses are affected when data about tax returns are supplemented with survey data about
demographic characteristics such as sex. A working paper explained how CBO estimates the
market risk of federal credit programs. Another working paper provided estimates of how much
state and local governments that receive federal grants for highway capital projects substitute that
funding for their own spending on highway capital. CBO also published a working paper about
how it constructs synthetic firms in its health insurance microsimulation model. A report
described the conceptual framework of CBO’s analysis of tax expenditures. And CBO released an
update to a regular report on its economic forecasting record.
Finally, CBO published a guide explaining common budgetary terms to help people understand
CBO’s cost estimates and projections and the federal budget more broadly.
Work in Progress
As of December 31, CBO was working on 282 cost estimates for legislation that had been
ordered reported by a committee or that was the subject of a motion to be placed on the consensus
calendar (see Table 2 on page 6). In addition, the agency was working on 25 analytic products
that it expected to complete in the coming months.
Of those 25 products, 2 are statutorily required:
Report on the Troubled Asset Relief Program and
Expired and Expiring Authorizations of Appropriations: Fiscal Year 2022.
Two other reports that CBO produces on regular basis were under way as of December 31:
Monthly Budget Review: December 2021 and a review of the accuracy of CBO’s baseline budget
projections.
CBO usually publishes an updated economic forecast and new budget projections in January.
They will be delayed this year. On its website, CBO will provide additional information about the
schedule once it is known.
Eight requested products were in progress as of December 31:
A report about aircraft use and availability in the military (published on January 5);
A report describing trends in spending on prescription drugs, as well as trends in their use
and prices;
A report describing the prices paid for health care by private insurers, how those prices differ
from prices paid by Medicare, and how they affect federal subsidies for health care;
An analysis of the long-term costs of the Administration’s 2022 defense budget;
An analysis of the effects of work requirements and programs that support work in means-
tested transfer programs;
A report describing trends in the distribution of family wealth;
A report on the budgetary cost of Ginnie Mae and its role in the secondary mortgage market;
and
A report on policy approaches that aim to reduce the prices paid to hospitals and physicians
in commercial health plans.
2CBO’S RECENT PUBLICATIONS AND WORK IN PROGRESS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2021 JANUARY 2022
CBO has many other products in the research, drafting, and editing stages that support its mission
of furnishing the Congress with timely analysis of policy issues. Many of those products offer
additional insight into CBO’s earlier products or ongoing work.
Some will provide information about CBO’s microeconomic and tax analyses:
A short report on federal financial support for transit systems;
A description of how CBO models effective tax rates on capital income;
An explanation of why CBO applies a revenue offset to estimates of changes in excise taxes
and certain other taxes; and
An estimate of the effects on the federal deficit of lowering the age of Medicare eligibility to
60, as well as a description of the basis of that estimate.
Some will provide information about CBO’s macroeconomic analyses:
An assessment of the macroeconomic effects of illustrative single-payer health care systems;
An examination of how consumers and companies form expectations of inflation;
A technical description of a model CBO uses to quantify the uncertainty of its projections of
the unemployment rate;
An analysis of the causes and consequences of fiscal crises; and
An examination of the economic effects of waiting to resolve long-term budgetary
imbalances.
Others will explain or support the analytic methods used for CBO’s financial analyses and
budgetary estimates or provide background information:
An explanation of CBO’s forecast of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet, its direct and
indirect implications for the federal budget, and its connection to CBO’s forecast of
Federal Reserve policies;
An explanation of how CBO analyzes the uncertainty of its projections in The Long-Term
Budget Outlook;
An updated version of CBO’s interactive tool for analyzing options related to the size of the
military; and
A technical description of a model for estimating the fair value of mortgage guarantees,
using prices from private mortgage insurers.
When the publication of an analytic report draws near, CBO announces its upcoming release. 2
Upon completion, all reports are available to the public on CBO’s website.
