[Recording]The Green New Deal: The Role of Analysis – Peter Evangelakis, REMI
The Green New Deal proposes a number of ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing other environmental and social challenges. To transform these ideas into policy, though, vigorous economic analysis is required.
REMI invites you to join Senior Economist Peter Evangelakis, Ph.D. for a webinar presentation on Wednesday, May 1st from 2 to 3 p.m. (ET) titled “The Green New Deal: The Role of Analysis.”
For his presentation, Dr. Evangelakis will review the major points of the proposed Congressional resolution and establish the national- and state-level political context. He will consider different policies that could advance the Green New Deal’s goals – such as carbon taxes and promotion of hybrid cars – and discuss how to assess these ideas using dynamic economic analysis.
Tax Policy
New Ideas and State-Level Impacts of TCJA
[Slides]Tax Policy: New Ideas and State-Level Impacts of TCJA – Jamie Neville & Cameron Luther, REMI
Competing tax policy ideas are inspiring political debate on the national and state levels.
Republicans and Democrats are arguing over the effectiveness of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the legislative centerpiece of the Trump presidency. At the same time, some Democrats are floating populist tax ideas – from a higher top marginal rate to a wealth tax.
REMI cordially invites you to join economic associates Jamie Neville and Cameron Luther for a webinar on Tax Day, Monday, April 15th, 2019 from 2 to 3 p.m. (ET) titled, “Tax Policy: New Ideas and State-Level Impacts of TCJA.”
For this presentation, Ms. Neville and Mr. Luther will review the implications of the 2017 tax law, in particular changes to state and local tax (SALT) deductions and the continuing impacts on high-tax states. They will go beyond existing law to also consider the potential economic implications from populist proposals to increase taxes on wealthy families and demonstrate the modeling approaches for evaluating different policy ideas.
