CBO’s Recent Publications
and Work in Progress as of
March 31, 2022 APRIL 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 181 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. They included an
estimate for H.R. 2471, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 (Public Law 117-103), which
funds the government for the remainder of fiscal year 2022. That law includes funding to address
the situation in Ukraine and provide assistance for Ukraine and other countries, and it makes
other changes that will affect direct spending and revenues. CBO also published an estimate for
H.R. 4521, the America COMPETES Act of 2022, which was estimated to increase direct
spending by about $68 billion over the 2022–2031 period. Much of that increase is the estimated
effect of incentives to manufacture semiconductors in the United States. The bill also authorizes
the appropriation of at least $335 billion over the 2022–2031 period, primarily for provisions that
involve research and manufacturing in the United States.
In addition, since its last quarterly report on work in progress, CBO has released 18 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:
CBO’s Monthly Budget Review, which offers an updated snapshot of spending, revenues, and
the deficit;
An updated edition of CBO’s regular report on expired and expiring authorizations, covering
legislation enacted through September 30, 2021;
A working paper on the Markov-switching model that CBO developed to analyze
unemployment; and
1. For the previous report, see Congressional Budget Office, CBO’s Recent Publications and Work in Progress as of
December 31, 2021 (January 2022), www.cbo.gov/publication/57666.CBO’S RECENT PUBLICATIONS AND WORK IN PROGRESS AS OF MARCH 31, 2022 APRIL 2022
A working paper on the effects of interest rates on the budget.
Three products offered analysis of health care issues:
An assessment of the macroeconomic effects of five illustrative single-payer health care
systems;
An analysis comparing the prices paid by Medicare and private insurers for hospitals’ and
physicians’ services; and
A report on nationwide trends in prescription drug spending, use, and prices.
CBO’s products also presented analysis to inform policy discussion and debate:
A working paper on how expections of inflation affect the economy;
An analysis of funding for public transportation;
A report on the securitization programs of the Government National Mortgage Association
(Ginnie Mae); and
A report on the long-term costs of the Administration’s 2022 defense budget.
In addition, four letters responded to questions from Members of Congress, providing more
information on cost estimates and other analyses:
An analysis of the budgetary effects of higher inflation and interest rates;
Additional information on the budgetary effects of H.R. 3076, the Postal Service Reform Act
of 2022;
An assessment of how increases in the prices of goods and services have recently differed in
rural and urban areas and how those increases compared with changes in wages; and
A description of CBO’s projected increase in the consumer price index for urban wage
earners in 2023.
Other recent publications explained how CBO does its work. A report reviewed the agency’s
projections of federal revenues and outlays and the government’s budget deficit and compared
them with actual budgetary outcomes for fiscal year 2021. A working paper described how CBO
models effective tax rates on capital income. The agency released a new edition of its regular
report on its transparency efforts. CBO also published its appropriation request for fiscal year
2023.
Work in Progress
As of March 31, CBO was working on 230 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 21 analytic products
that it expected to complete in the coming months.
CBO usually publishes its budget and economic projections for the next 10 years in January and
then updates the budget projections in the spring and summer. The January projections were
delayed this year, as mentioned in CBO’s Recent Publications and Work in Progress as of
December 31, 2021. Producing the projections on the typical schedule would have prevented
CBO from carrying out other pressing work for the Congress, and pending legislation might have
made the projections outdated shortly after they were published.
2CBO’S RECENT PUBLICATIONS AND WORK IN PROGRESS AS OF MARCH 31, 2022 APRIL 2022
This year, CBO anticipates publishing the projections during the week of May 23 and releasing
its analysis of the President’s budget request by early July. Then, sometime in July, the agency
will publish its recurring report on the long-term budget outlook. Once it is known, the precise
schedule for those reports will be announced on CBO’s website.
Three other reports that CBO produces on a regular basis were under way as of March 31:
Monthly Budget Review: March 2022, which will be released early in April; Expired and
Expiring Authorizations of Appropriations: Fiscal Year 2022, planned for the next quarter; and
Options for Reducing the Deficit, which CBO will publish at the end of this year.
Five requested products were in progress as of March 31:
A visual report on the availability of the F-35 aircraft;
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;
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; and
An overview of the federal response to abuse and misuse of opioids.
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:
An explanation of why CBO applies a revenue offset to estimates of changes in excise taxes
and certain other taxes;
An analysis of the effects of wildfires on the federal budget;
An assessment of the issues involved in pricing emissions of methane from oil and gas;
A description of trends in greenhouse gas emissions from the electric power sector; and
An overview of approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation
sector.
Some products will provide information about CBO’s macroeconomic analyses:
An analysis of the causes and consequences of fiscal crises;
An explanation of the uncertainty of long-term budget projections; and
An examination of the economic effects of waiting to resolve long-term budgetary
imbalances.
Other products 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 updated version of CBO’s interactive tool for analyzing options related to the size of the
military;
3CBO’S RECENT PUBLICATIONS AND WORK IN PROGRESS AS OF MARCH 31, 2022 APRIL 2022
A primer on the fiscal measures CBO considers when preparing its long-term budget
analysis;
A working paper analyzing how the amount physicians are paid for services affects access to
care for dual-eligible beneficiaries (people dually enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid)
compared with Medicare-only beneficiaries; and
A technical description of a model for estimating the fair value of mortgage guarantees,
using prices from private mortgage insurers.
A list of CBO’s forthcoming analytic reports and all of its published reports are available to the
public on the agency’s website.2
The Congressional Budget Office prepares this report each quarter to help keep the Congress informed
about the agency’s work. Lara Robillard prepared this edition with guidance from Leigh Angres and
with contributions from many people at CBO. Fiona Forrester compiled the list of pending cost
estimates. Jeffrey Kling reviewed the report, and Rebecca Lanning edited it.
The report is available at www.cbo.gov/publication/57921. CBO seeks feedback to make its work as
useful as possible. Please send comments to communications@cbo.gov.
