January Washington D.C. Luncheon – Economic Effects of Immigration Policies

REMI luncheons are held each month at Metro Center, 700 12th Street, NW, Suite 700, Washington D.C. 20005. Stay tuned for updates on this special event, including any change in venue.

REMI was commissioned by the Business Roundtable to evaluate the economic effects of two different immigration reform scenarios in a major new study. The two scenarios that the analysis revolved around were a “balanced” reform approach that included enhanced enforcement, a pathway to legal status, and reformation of green card and visa programs, and an “enforcement-only” approach with aggressive border security, deportation, and voluntary departure.

We cordially invite you to our monthly Washington D.C. policy luncheon on Thursday, January 25th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., when we will expand on the differences between the two immigration reform scenarios and their corresponding results.

Numerous immigration programs, policies, and protections hang in the balance as President Trump and his administration openly contemplate serious adjustments. The president is hoping that a strong stance on certain policies will help ensure his own personal immigration concerns, which include the end of “sanctuary cities”, limits on green cards, and funding for a southern border wall.

This administration’s position on immigration reform is only the latest symptom of our nation’s prolonged debate on the subject and a lack of common ground has left the topic inherently divisive. Our findings could prove to be instrumental in the advancement of the national discussion overall and several policies within the larger issue at hand.

St. Paul, MN – “Evaluating Impacts of Tax Changes”

The advantages and capabilities of the REMI Tax-PI model will be highlighted at our upcoming luncheon in St. Paul, Minnesota on Friday, January 26th, 2018 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

REMI Vice President Billy Leung and Economist Peter Evangelakis will be describing the multitude of applications for this state-of-the-art modeling tool.

Tax-PI has been used for evaluating the fiscal and economic effects of tax policy changes and was developed based on 30 years of tax policy modeling experience. The model gives the user an adjustable fiscal model to illustrate state specific revenues and expenditures defined by personalized tax policy variables.

Any major state policy change will create a ripple effect on employment, migration, consumer price, and consumer spending and the REMI Tax-PI model can take these effects into account in order to forecast significant changes and outcomes. This allows analysts to capture direct, indirect, and induced fiscal and economic effects and links the effects of taxation and other policy changes over multiple years with the REMI PI+ model.

We’re offering this luncheon free of charge, although we ask that you register in advance. If you would like to attend this event, please email Brian Boyd at brian.boyd@remi.com or contact us by phone at (413)549-1169.
