Options for Emergency Lump-Sum Cash Payments in Response to Coronavirus Budgetary and Distributional Analysis
We present budgetary and distributional estimates for three potential versions of the lump-sum payment that President Trump announced earlier today. All three options increase the after-tax income of low income households the most. However, higher-income households have more children on average and would receive larger cash payments unless additional adjustments are made.
The Demographics of the Coronavirus Crisis: Impacts at the Front Line of the “Leisure and Hospitality” Sector

President Trump’s Payroll Tax Holiday: Alternative Distributional Analysis
We expand our previous analysis of President Trump’s proposed payroll tax holiday by considering two scenarios for how the employer side of the tax cut would be distributed: either to the full benefit of business owners and corporate equity holders (“profits rise”) or to the full benefit of workers (“wages rise”). When profits rise, the top 1 percent of families by income receive about 29 percent of the total payroll tax cut, compared to about 4 percent of the total cut when wages rise.
