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.
Igor Linkov – Resilience Assessment and Management in Transportation Networks
Transportation resilience measures a network’s ability to absorb, recover from, and adapt to both expected and unexpected disturbances.
REMI cordially invites you to a webinar presentation on Tuesday, April 2nd from 2 to 3 p.m. EST by guest speaker Igor Linkov, Ph.D., Risk and Decision Science Focus Area Lead for the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center and Adjunct Professor of Engineering and Public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University.
Resilience planning differs from risk analysis, which focuses on preparing for and absorbing specific predictable events. Resilience is demonstrated through complex adaptive systems integrating social, economic and infrastructure networks.
This presentation will explain different methods of transportation resilience quantification and present case studies in transportation. Dr. Linkov will consider the economic implications and discuss the modeling approaches behind the analysis.
