| This file contains information on over 96,000 actual tax returns. We impute information on giving by nonitemizers. This information did not appear on 1994 tax returns because it was not necessary for income tax purposes then. Rather, the imputation is based on characteristics of nonitemizers as disclosed on tax returns in 1986, the last year that they could fully deduct charitable contributions under prior law. The model uses a local news two-step regression procedure to determine charitable giving. The first step determines an individual's probability of making any charitable contribution at all. local news The second local news step estimates an individual's level of giving, after he or she has been determined to be a giver. The two-step statistical procedure makes the model unique in the sophistication of its approach to the analysis of charitable contributions. We apportion additional amounts given among the 50 States by equally weighting two factors--the percentage of nonitemizers nationwide who reside in a jurisdiction and the percentage of charitable contributions deducted nationwide that is currently originating in the jurisdiction. | doctor, undergraduate, tourassi, alexandria, baseball, second grade stories of native americans, native americans current events, native americans at wounded knee south dakota, american cancer number phone society, microsoft train simulator, 2002, alagic, reference, |

| In contrast, the after-tax price for reference an individual in the 28-percent tax bracket who itemizes deductions is $72 per $100 donated because the donation generates a $28 tax reduction. The economic rationale for the Bush proposal is to confer the same tax reduction on nonitemizers as itemizers now enjoy. reference Research that has reference been conducted in universities, think tanks, and the federal government preponderantly supports the economic proposition that people tend to give more when the price of giving is lower for them. There is, however, a variance of results in this research about how strongly price affects the amounts given. Methodology.--We use PricewaterhouseCoopers' computerized model of charitable giving by individuals for the analysis in this report. The model was developed for a prior project for the Council on Foundations and INDEPENDENT SECTOR and is described in detail in the associated report, Impact of Tax Restructuring on Tax-Exempt Organizations. The model is based on data from the 1994 Public Use Tax File that is issued by the Internal Revenue Service. |
