Finals Week
Plugging away on final projects, papers, and prepping for finals...along with catching up on relaxing too. :)
Keith asked about the economic policy stuff that I've been working on (2005 Tax Proposal, specifically mortgage interest tax deduction), so I figured I'd post a couple graphs - output analysis from 2001 tax data.
This chart shows the average subsidy received by itemizing homeowners (valued at the marginal tax rates).
This chart shows the universe of homeowners showing the subset that actually receives tax subsidies (those that itemize) versus those that do not because they do not itemize or because they have no debt.

Sorry...accidently canned the comment. The class is good, definitely an interesting topic and unlike most other GSB classes given the format and the types of discussions. Perhaps not the most exciting class, but that's not why most people take the class. ;)
