Rationale

Heritage Fund returns improve investment income, health premiums adjusted, and federal transfers grow with population. Four sources feeding alberta_revenues through accounting identity edges. Students see that provincial revenue isn't just royalties — the diversification challenge.

Details

Epoch: 51

Domain: provincial_fiscal

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $13.69B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$13.69B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; agrees)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$6.21B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via federal_spending
  • +$3.77B → federal_budget_balance (Federal Budget Balance) via federal_spending
  • +$2.31B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via tax_revenue
  • +$1.04B → education_spending (Education Spending) via tax_revenue

Causal effects: 12 downstream variables affected (12 immediate)

Divergence after: 649.003

Variable changes

  • alberta_other_revenue: 1.7 → 2.5
  • alberta_premiums_fees: 3.1 → 3.8
  • alberta_federal_transfers: 11.2 → 13
  • alberta_investment_income: 4.8 → 6.5

Proposed policy move

alberta_other_revenue: 1.7 → 2.5 (▲ 0.8)
alberta_premiums_fees: 3.1 → 3.8 (▲ 0.7)
alberta_federal_transfers: 11.2 → 13 (▲ 1.8)
alberta_investment_income: 4.8 → 6.5 (▲ 1.7)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
