Thanks for the question (as a researcher, I greatly appreciate the depth of your interest in our work!). It appears as though you’re right about the mix-up in the formula in the spreadsheet you referenced, so I have corrected that.
Importantly, however, I would note that the quantitative model is not one that we included in our welfare range estimates (it came from an earlier draft version of the project), and we wouldn’t endorse using its results over our all-things-considered welfare range estimates that we’ve published here.
Hi Vasco,

Thanks again for the comment!
Thanks, Laura!
