RESEARCH 谁将从2022年的学生债务减免中受益?

JPMorgan Chase Institute

On August 24, 2022, the Biden Administration announced 它将为某些借款人取消高达2万美元的联邦学生债务. 收入低于125美元的借款人,000 for single tax filers or $250,000名联合申报人有资格被取消. Borrowers who received Pell grants at some point are eligible to have their debts cancelled up to $20,000, 所有其他借款人都有资格获得10美元,000 cancelled.

我们使用行政大通银行和征信局的数据,000 student debt holders to estimate how the benefits of this cancellation program might be distributed by household income and borrower race and ethnicity.1

We find that:

  1. Up to 34 percent of all debt is eligible to be cancelled, or $549 billion out of a total of $1.62万亿美元的未偿联邦债务.
  2. For every dollar of cancellation received by households in the top 40 percent of the income distribution (more than $76,000), 收入最低的40%的家庭(不到52美元),000) receive $0.68. 假设所有借贷者都在125美元之间,000 and $250,000 in income are dual filers, 我们的数据表明,对于这个收入范围内的绝大多数借款人来说,哪种情况是正确的. 如果我们假设这个范围内的所有借款人都是单一申报人, 然后低收入家庭得到1美元.高收入家庭每收到1美元,就有22美元被取消.2

图1:收入越高的家庭获得的取消美元略多, 但低收入家庭的债务更有可能被完全取消.

 

  1. 低收入家庭的债务更有可能被完全取消, primarily because lower income households tend to hold less debt relative to higher income households.
  2. Average debt cancelled for all income groups is between $8,800 and $10,000 (see Figure 2). 低收入家庭成为佩尔奖学金获得者的可能性略高, 但不太可能有超过10美元的未偿债务,000.

图2:被取消的债务平均在9美元之间,000 and $10,000 across the income spectrum, 但黑人家庭的比例相对较高.

 

  1. 负债的黑人家庭平均收入约为11美元,000 in cancellation, 而西班牙裔和白人家庭的平均收入为9美元,500 and $9,000, respectively.
  2. The average Black household benefits relatively more from cancellation because Black households hold more student debt relative to their share of the population. 美国黑人家庭的平均收入为2美元.取消次数是普通白人家庭的5倍(参见图3). The distribution of cancellation dollars roughly follows the distribution of debt holdings (see Figure 4).

Figure 3: Black and Hispanic households receive more cancellation relative to their population share.

 

Figure 4: The distribution of cancellation dollars by race and ethnicity is proportional to the distribution of debt held by each group.
