Sorenson Assistant Professor Elena Patel Serves as Panelist at Brookings Institute Event
Elena Patel, Sorenson Assistant Professor in the David Eccles School of Business Division of Quantitative Analysis of Markets and Organizations served on a panel of experts at an event hosted by the Tax Policy Center and the Brookings Institution in December in Washington, D.C. The event focused on analysis of the economic and political implications of President-elect Trump’s tax proposals. During the campaign, Trump suggested sweeping changes, including extending the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, expanded tariffs, tax reductions on tips and overtime pay, and changes to Social Security benefit taxes.
Patel and other panelists discussed the feasibility of these ideas, the likelihood of congressional support, and what changes Trump could enact through executive orders. You can watch the event here.
