This lays out the steps for updating to a new baseline.

  1. Prepare the necessary methodological changes

    • International tax model
    • Section 163(j) interest limitation
  2. Change policy_current_law.json to post-TCJA parameters.

  3. Change partial equilibrium forecasts to use response to TCJA as baseline.

    • Debt financing shares
    • Repatriation rates
  4. Update economic forecast to current CBO forecast.

  5. Continue making methodological changes to improve accuracy, and compare to CBO forecast for corporate tax revenue.

This is now complete, until the profit-shifting response has been built.
