Fiscal Austerity & the Federal System (Paul Posner, 2013 ABFM Conf)PublicFinanceTV
"Fiscal Austerity & the Federal System" presentation by Paul Posner, George Mason Unviersity, presented during "Sequestration's Impact on State Budgets" plenary session, 2013 ABFM Annual Conference, October 3, 2013
CBO’s health insurance simulation model (HISIM) generates estimates of health insurance coverage and premiums for the population under age 65. HISIM is used to help develop baseline projections (which incorporate the assumption that current law generally remains the same) and also to model proposed changes in policies that affect health insurance coverage.
Currently, CBO is developing and testing a new version of HISIM to respond to continued Congressional interest in understanding the effects of legislative proposals that significantly affect health insurance coverage. The new model will be used to help develop CBO’s spring 2019 baseline projections and subsequent cost estimates.

Presentation: Economic impact assessment of the Two-Pillar Solution (January ...OECDtax
The OECD provided an update on its ongoing work to assess the economic impact of the Two-Pillar Solution to Address the Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalisation of the Economy, including new estimates of the revenue impacts of implementing Pillar One and Pillar Two. These estimates are based on updated data and incorporate many recently agreed design features of Pillar One and Pillar Two, many of which have not been accounted for in other studies.
As the COVID-19 crisis continues to affect people's lives and force governments to take action, the international tax agenda remains highly relevant. Work has continued throughout the crisis on the pressing issue of reaching a multilateral, consensus-based solution to the tax challenges arising from the digitalisation of the economy, and in other areas of the OECD's tax agenda. With a number of recent and upcoming developments in the OECD's international tax agenda, experts from the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration gave an update on our work.
Topics included:
- Update on G20
- Tax and digitalisation update on Pillar One and Pillar Two
- Tax policy
- COVID-19 response – tax treaties and transfer pricing
- BEPS implementation and tax transparency
- Tax and crime

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.

Session Six: Conditional Grants Value For Money, Meeting 2018
1. Conditional Grants: Value
for Money? Targeting the
Right Recipients?
DAVID ROWE
DEPUTY ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FOR BUDGET
U.S. OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET
2. Grants to State and Local Governments:
Size and Scope
Over 1,700 grant programs, administered by nearly 30 federal agencies.
Federal Grant Programs:
◦ About third of total State spending (31.3 percent).
◦ 3.5 percent of GDP.
Medicaid (health care for low-income individuals) is by far the largest, where the Federal
government picks up a large share of costs.
Other Federal programs make up a smaller share of State/local spending.
◦ For instance, federal support for education is only about 8%.
Nearly all have terms and conditions attached to them (not revenue sharing or block grants).

4. Brief History
Prior to the 1960’s, most grants just provided supplemental assistance, and
didn’t intrude on state/local prerogatives.
In the mid-1960’s/1970’s, the Federal Government created new grant programs
to achieve national goals, and mandates that were broadly tied to recipients of
Federal financial assistance.
Relatively small, yet still significant, federal grant funding leveraged significant
changes in policies at the State and local levels.
5. Education Example: The Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
Grants to States to support special education and related services to students
with disabilities.
Prior to the IDEA, roughly one-fifth of students with disabilities received no
education, and many States had laws excluding some students with disabilities
from school.
IDEA required States and schools to provide a Free Appropriate Public Education
for students with disabilities, and included detailed requirements and due
process protections.
6. Different Approach: Race to the Top
The Recovery Act of 2009 included $4+ billion in competitive grants to States who adopted four
education reforms:
◦ Rigorous standards and assessments
◦ Data systems that measure student academic growth
◦ Recruiting and retaining effective teachers
◦ Turning around the lowest-achieving schools
Temporary surge of funding, and three competitions, to motivate States to adopt particular
strategies.
◦ Strategic use of recovery funding
◦ One-time, rather than a permanent stream of new Federal funding.
7. Proper Use of Federal Funds
• Improper payments in State-based direct benefit programs (e.g., food
assistance).
• Efforts to improve data/data matching.
• Tension between reducing improper payments and burden.
• While most conditional grants have broad flexibility in how the funds are used,
there is also an infrastructure to make sure funds are used properly.
• Single audit for entities receiving multiple grants.
• Comprehensive risk-management strategies
• “Watchdog” Offices: Agency Inspectors General, Government Accountability Office
• President’s Management Agenda Cross Agency Priority (CAP) Goal: Results-Oriented Accountability for
Grants
• Reduce compliance and reporting burden.
• Risk-based, data driven framework that balances compliance with results.
8. Accountability and Performance
While conditional grants have helped equalize funding and achieve key national
goals, implementing accountability requirements has been more challenging.
No Child Left Behind: Tied Title I funding (the largest Education grant) to
accountability requirements.
◦ Math/reading assessments for students in grades 3-8.
◦ Schools meeting “adequate yearly progress” (AYP) in improving performance overall and
among subgroups.
◦ Schools that failed to meet AYP were subject to a series of requirements and sanctions.
9. Improving Evidence and Evaluation
Efforts across multiple administrations to build an infrastructure for evidence-based
policymaking, including:
Published evaluation policies at some Federal agencies
Development of multi-year learning agendas
Some grant funding focused on evidence-based programs with evaluation requirements,
established through legislation, policy, or regulations
◦ Ex: Tiered Evidence Grants, Pay for Success
Flexibilities for states/grantees to use some funding for evaluation
Improving data access and data governance
Federal grants require performance metrics, but quality varies
10. History of Major Federal Evidence Efforts
Years Evidence Efforts
Late 1960-1996 Income maintenance experiments, state waivers, welfare reform
1993-2001 Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA)
2001-2009 Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART)
2009-2016 -GPRA Modernization Act
-OMB Guidance regarding evidence and evaluation
-New programs, funding requirements, initiatives including Tiered Evidence grants
and Pay for Success
2016-Current -Commission on Evidence-based Policymaking
-OMB Guidelines on Monitoring and Evaluation for Foreign Assistance
-Social Impact Partnership Pay for Results Act (SIPPRA)
-Reorg proposal to Strengthen Federal Evaluation

11. Conditional Grants: What’s Next?
Legal/Constitutional Limitations: The U.S. Constitution limits the Federal
government’s role in state/local activities.
◦ Related to the funds being provided, and cannot cross the line from enticement to coercion.
◦ Unclear how courts will view grant requirements going forward.
Holding pattern when it comes to significant legislative changes to conditional
grants.
◦ Not in a period of significant expansion or retraction in grants or the requirements behind
them.
Consideration of new (and sometimes controversial) conditions and
requirements (e.g., work requirements).
