Cost of Iraq War: For deaths by state and national wounded: “Iraq Coalition Casualty Count” http://icasualties.org/oif/, “Honor the Fallen,” http://www.militarycity.com/valor/honor.html (US military press), and CEPR corrections based on press reports. (There is a map of deaths by hometown through October 26 at http://www.militarycity.com/2000casualties/kia_map.php.) Wounded by state estimated by assigning to each state the same proportion of wounded as their proportion of deaths. Deaths assigned to Congressional District if a substantial part of soldier’s hometown is in the Congressional District. Split cities are marked with an asterisk in the list of deaths. For Congressional appropriations, “The Cost of Iraq, Afghanistan and Enhanced Base Security Since 9/11,” Amy Belasco, Congressional Research Service, October 7, 2005. (The National Priorities Project has a website where one can calculate the cost of war by state using the CRS $251 billion figure for Congressional appropriations; one can compare the cost in terms of forgone expenditures, like children’s health care. http://costofwar.com). For Stiglitz estimates: “The Economic Costs of the Iraq War,” Linda Bilmes and Joseph Stiglitz, January 2006, http://www2.gsb.columbia.edu/faculty/jstiglitz/Cost_of_War_in_Iraq.pdf. They try to estimate other costs besides direct appropriations, such as the cost of long-term health care for disabled veterans. For state population numbers: U.S. Census, http://fastfacts.census.gov. (See Excel spreadsheet: cost_of_Iraq_war) For Corporate Taxes: “Corporate Income Taxes in the Bush Years,” Robert S. McIntyre, Citizens for Tax Justice, T.D. Coo Nguyen, Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, September 2004, http://www.ctj.org/corpfed04an.pdf. (See Excel spreadsheet: corporate_taxes) For Social Security Beneficiaries: Congressional Statistics, December 2004 (released June 2005), Social Security Online, Office of Policy Data, Social Security Administration, http://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/factsheets/cong_stats/. Average monthly benefits calculated by dividing total monthly benefits by number of recipients in each category. For elderly population: “Fast Facts for Congress,” Census 2000, http://fastfacts.census.gov. For estimates of elderly population dependent on Social Security for a particular share of income: CEPR estimate using proportions for national population. (See Excel spreadsheet: social_security) For Bankruptcy Filing Rates by County and State: “Regional Economic Conditions (RECON),” FDIC, http://www2.fdic.gov/recon/. CD estimates for filing rates constructed by weighted average of county filing rates.For absolute number of bankruptcies by state, see: Annual Business and Non-business Filings by State (2000-2004), American Bankruptcy Institute http://www.abiworld.org/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm?ContentID=17661 (See Excel spreadsheet: bankruptcy) For Employment and Wages: CEPR calculatations from Bureau of Labor Statistics Data, Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, www.bls.gov. CD estimtes are constructed from county data by weighting by population.
