                          Economist



                          Key Findings

                            *  A temporary cut to the corporate income tax rate is substantially less
                                effective at generating economic growth than a permanent cut.

                            *  A ten-year reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate to 15 percent
                               would  boost investment and growth over the first seven years of the policy,
                               but then reduce growth.

                            *  The specter of a future tax increase makes investment under a temporary low
                                rate less enticing, especially for long-lived assets.

                            *  A temporary corporate income tax cut is most likely to result in higher
                                payouts to shareholders of corporations; a permanent corporate income tax
                                cut has a much better chance to result in increased wages as well.
