Individual Peer Reviewer Comments on Proposed OMB Circular No. A-4, "Regulatory Analysis"

“A large part of [the] comments here are focused on the discounting recommendation in the proposed revisions. These recommendations can be broken down into five main points: the change in the consumption rate, the shift to a shadow price of capital approach, use of a default risk premium versus certainty equivalents to address risk, the option to use a Ramsey discounting approach, and options for a declining discount rate over long horizons.”
