Healthcare SavingsMinnesotaCare and Medical Assistance: observe enrollment, use average monthly costs at different eligibility levels provided by DHS
Incarceration AvoidanceChange in costs derived from differences in incarceration and recidivism rates. Cost per inmate equals length of stay (using averages as needed) * marginal per diem cost per inmate.
Note: We currently track felony-level offenses; misdemeanors should be added in a future iteration.

Other important but difficult-to-quantify effects•Change in mental and physical health•Change in worker productivity•Reduction in criminal activity•Economic multipliers
An important corollary: additional types of benefits should be considered for inclusion in future iterations.
