REMI invites you to join our next D.C. policy luncheon on Thursday, July 26th, 2018 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. when Senior Economist Peter Evangelakis, Ph.D. will examine the fiscal and economic implications of states legalizing sports gambling.
Following the recent Supreme Court decision striking down federal restrictions, state policy makers are weighing their options. If they support legalization, they have to decide how accessible to make sports gambling and how much to tax.
For his presentation, Dr. Evangelakis will explore sports betting policies and consider the potential changes in consumer spending patterns, as well as the possible indirect impacts on sports viewership and merchandise. I will demonstrate how to use the REMI Tax-PI model to simulate the implications for tax revenue.
REMI luncheons are held each month at Metro Center, 700 12th Street, NW, Suite 700, Washington D.C. 20005.
