Salt Lake City, UT – “Policy in the Trump Era”

How do you anticipate future consequences of policies at a time of political and technological upheaval? We’re living through one such era – with President Trump and Congressional Republicans attempting to overhaul taxation, regulations, and health care while, at the same time, tech entrepreneurs are transforming how we drive, shop, and conduct business.

Please join us for a daylong conference, “Policy in the Trump Era”, in Salt Lake City, Utah on Thursday, November 16th from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. REMI CEO and Chief Economist Fred Treyz, Ph.D. will be joined by REMI Economist Peter Evangelakis, Ph.D. as they examine today’s most pressing topics from the vantage of dynamic economic analysis.

We will address the employment and other economic effects of major policies:

  • Amazon HQ 2.0: At What Price?: Amazon is looking for a home for its second headquarters and it is evaluating the demographics, labor supply, and quality of life of possible cities. A winning city may need to sweeten the deal with tax incentives. The question for officials: Is attracting Amazon to your region worth the investment?
  • Transportation Innovation: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly: The auto industry is undergoing significant changes. Advancements in automation and safety will have major economic effects on manufacturing regions.
  • Family Medical Leave: Economic Case Study: We will use an example study from the District of Columbia to demonstrate the economic modeling of labor policies.
  • Immigration Policy: Reform? Deport? Economic Effects: Federal immigration policy is a hot-button topic that stirs strong emotions. But objective economic policy analysis can clarify the issue and show differences between comprehensive and enforcement-only options.
  • Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute: From major studies of specific industries like defense, to analyses of economic development incentives, and firm-level impact studies, the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute utilizes REMI PI+ for a broad range of projects. Guest presenters Juliette Tennert and John Downen of the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute will discuss some recent examples of their organization’s use of PI+ to produce better informed decisions.


We’re offering this conference 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.

November Washington D.C. Luncheon – Tax Reform

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 cordially invites you to our monthly Washington D.C. policy luncheon, Thursday, November 30th, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., when CEO and Chief Economist Fred Treyz, Ph.D. will discuss the potential impacts of tax reform, using the possible cap on the state and local tax (SALT) deduction as a case study.

The White House and Congressional Republicans have vowed to overhaul the U.S. tax code, but as with any major reform, the devil is in the details. Lawmakers are looking at changes to deductions to offset cuts to the income and corporate rates, triggering opposition from those who benefit from existing provisions. House Republicans released a plan on November 2nd proposing a $10,000 cap on the SALT benefit as well as a decrease in the cap for mortgage interest deductions from $1 million to $500,000.

Citizens in high- vs. low-tax states would face increased exposure to different tax environments, making the latter relatively more desirable places to live and work. This would put fiscal pressure on high-tax states as they work to minimize the out-migration of their tax base.

For this presentation, Dr. Treyz will review the tax reform debate and the implications of changes such as an overhaul of SALT. He will demonstrate the use of our Tax-PI model for understanding the total economic effects
of fiscal policy changes on the national and state level.

Lunch will be provided at no 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.

We hope you can join us!
