摘要

美国有一部《经济宪法》，管理联邦法规，并解释如何进行法规影响分析，其中提到对拟议和最终法规的成本和效益进行量化和货币化。美国经济宪法》被称为 "OMB A-4 通函"，于 2023 年进行了全面修订，在行为经济学和引导、贴现率和对后代的影响、分配效应和如何解释分配效应、难以或无法量化的效益和成本等方面有了新的方向。修订后的文件留下了许多悬而未决的问题，涉及（例如）人类生命的估值、发病率影响的估值以及儿童生命的价值。

The Economic Constitution of the United States

The United States has an Economic Constitution, governing federal regulation, and explaining how to conduct regulatory impact analysis, with reference to quantification and monetization of the costs and benefits of proposed and final regulations. Known as OMB Circular A-4, the Economic Constitution of the United States was thoroughly revised in 2023, with new directions on behavioral economics and nudging; on discount rates and effects on future generations; on distributional effects and how to account for them; and on benefits and costs that are hard or impossible to quantify. The revised document leaves numerous open questions, involving (for example) the valuation of human life, the valuation of morbidity effects, and the value of the lives of children.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Perspectives (JEP) bridges the gap between general interest press and typical academic economics journals. It aims to publish articles that synthesize economic research, analyze public policy issues, encourage interdisciplinary thinking, and offer accessible insights into state-of-the-art economic concepts. The journal also serves to suggest future research directions, provide materials for classroom use, and address issues within the economics profession. Articles are typically solicited by editors and associate editors, and proposals for topics and authors can be directed to the journal office.
