Primes¶
- Deadweight Loss
- Sufficient-statistics methodology: Chetty (2009)
This sourceShows DWL can be estimated from reduced-form behavioral elasticities (e.g., taxable-income elasticity) without a full structural model — the sufficient-statistics approach now standard in applied tax-policy evaluation.
SupportedVerified against the work's full text
Chetty sets out the sufficient-statistics approach and works the example that the taxable-income elasticity alone suffices to compute deadweight cost.
“Equation (20) shows that we simply need to measure how taxable income responds to changes in the tax rate to calculate the deadweight cost of income taxation.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
