Advisory No. 280

Institute

Tax Reform
The

Testimony of
Stephen J. Entin
President and Executive Director
for Research on the Economics of Taxation

before the
Joint Economic Committee
hearing on
Options: What Changes Would Generate
Greatest Growth For The Money

November 17, 2011
Chairman Casey, Vice Chairman Brady, and Members of the Committee, my name is
Stephen J. Entin. I am President of the Institute for Research on the Economics of Taxation.
Thank you for the opportunity to testify today on the subject of tax changes that would generate
the greatest growth for the economy while being affordable for the federal budget.
I hope to address two issues in the hearing title. First, how do various tax changes affect
the economy, people's employment opportunities, capital formation, and incomes? Second, what
are the consequences for the federal budget of various types of tax changes? If we look only at
the federal budget effects of tax proposals, and forget about the economic consequences, we will
miss what is most important - the public welfare - and we will get the budget numbers wrong.
