Port infrastructure is a critical component of the nation’s competitiveness in international trade and competing modes of domestic transportation. As a result of continued investments in infrastructure, we must analyze the economic effects of becoming a global leader in clean freight and transit.

On Thursday, May 6th from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (ET), REMI Associate I Carson Poling, Analyst Ying Zhang, and Business Development Representative David Casazza will be hosting “Impacts of Port Infrastructure,” a special webinar presentation that will explore the economic and demographic implications of investing in port operations and facilities.

President Biden’s American Jobs Plan allocates $17 billion toward the creation, maintenance, and repair of coastal and inland ports and waterways. The fiscal and socioeconomic effects of changes to port infrastructure include shifts in global integration strategies, employment fluctuations, and more.

This discussion will also use the REMI TranSight model to provide an analysis of changes to the nation’s vast maritime strategy, including improvements to the vitality of our nation’s supply chain.

[Report] 2021-2024 CCEA Outlook: The American Rescue Plan and Connecticut’s Economic Future – Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis

 

While incoming federal dollars promise to boost Connecticut’s flagging economy in the short run, the state remains disconnected from the modern data-driven, digitally-dependent economy that emerged in 2008. If it fails to address its structural deficiencies, Connecticut’s long-term outlook appears problematic due to a weak recovery and low-quality job growth.

REMI Managing Associate Chris Judson will be hosting a special guest webinar, “Connecticut’s Volatile Future: Short-Term Up, but Long-Term Down,” on Wednesday, May 12th from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (ET) that will feature Fred Carstensen, Director, and Peter Gunther, Senior Research Fellow, from the Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis (CCEA) in the School of Business at the University of Connecticut.

This guest webinar will explore the CCEA’s recent short-term, 10-quarter REMI forecast for the state’s economy before reviewing their long-term REMI forecast that projected out to 2030. Connecticut’s economy, which had the worst performance of any state post-2008, will be supported by the influx of federal monies over the next two years. However, this new funding will not necessarily impact the state’s long-term trajectory without substantial policy interventions.

Our guest speakers are also prepared to discuss how Connecticut might be unable to share in a strong national recovery after losing much of its nondurable manufacturing and a good portion of its finance and insurance sectors.

Big Tech Ad Revenue in Maryland

A new tax has entered the national landscape with Maryland’s approval of their proposed tax on the advertising revenue generated by big tech companies in the state. This legislative initiative holds the potential to increase state revenues while also prompting a structural shift for companies like Facebook, Google, and Amazon.

Associate I Julian Cook and Economic Analyst Haozheyi Guan will be hosting a REMI webinar presentation, “Big Tech Ad Revenue in Maryland,” on Monday, April 19th from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (ET) that analyzes the economic impacts of this new legislation within the state. The effectiveness of this new policy in Maryland might indicate whether or not other states will begin adopting similar measures in the future.

This discussion will evaluate the lasting economic benefits related to the increase in state revenue, with the new funds being allocated directly to the education system. Our presenters will also be considering the ways in which big tech could shift their business models and the corresponding effects to local businesses within the state.

Included in this upcoming webinar will be a demonstration on how to forecast the long-term effects of a tax on big tech ad revenue at the state and local levels using the REMI model.

The White House has announced their American Jobs Plan, a long-awaited infrastructure package that President Biden believes is a “once-in-a-generation investment in America” that would resemble the influx of federal funding during the space race more than half a century ago.

On Thursday, April 22nd from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (ET), REMI Associate I Julian Brubaker and Economic Analyst Xiaochu Ma will be providing a webinar presentation, “Biden’s $3 Trillion Infrastructure Plan,” that measures the economic impacts of several policy proposals within the president’s infrastructure bill.

This presentation will evaluate the lasting economic benefits of revamped infrastructure in order to determine if they will outweigh the potential harms of an increased corporate tax rate. We are also prepared to examine the debate surrounding the “human infrastructure” elements of the plan and analyze whether they will be substantial enough to mitigate poverty, the climate crisis, and racial inequality in this country.

Feel free to join our presenters for this webinar that demonstrates how the REMI model simulates the widespread ramifications of the American Jobs Plan at the national, state, and local levels.
