SIEPR and the LBJ School Policy Forum - A Tale of Two States: Contrasting Economic Policy in California and Texas
Event Details:
Location
America鈥檚 two most populous states take dramatically different approaches to making economic policy. California has the nation鈥檚 highest top marginal tax rate, while Texas doesn鈥檛 have an income tax. Every 1-in-3 Californians have health insurance through Medicaid, but only 1-in-6 Texans do. Both states are betrayed by their electric grids during extreme events, yet California and Texas manage those problems differently.
Join us on Friday, Sept 24, as SIEPR and the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin co-host academics, business leaders and policymakers to discuss these differing policy approaches and their impact on the economics and well-being of both states.
Full agenda below (all times listed in PT). We invite and encourage you to in advance and/or throughout the forum for panelists to address during the event.
about America鈥檚 two most populous states and their dramatically different approaches to making economic policy with help from SIEPR Director Mark Duggan.
