“BHI's research showed the enormous cost to the economy of the higher gas taxes that would have been brought about by TCI, with little benefit in the form of climate mitigation. BHI’s work brought rational analysis to a debate dominated by wishful thinking."
“Research by the Beacon Hill Institute proved to be very valuable to us on the Trump team for the purpose of analyzing and selling to the public the positive economic effects of the Trump tax plan. The Institute’s Tax Model was a big help in estimating the jobs and GDP boost from the lower tax rates. Their predictions have so far proven to be remarkably accurate.”
"The Beacon Hill Institute’s research and analysis of a number of contentious procurement and labor issues impacting taxpayer-funded construction projects has played an important role in shaping public policy."
“Over the years, the Retailers Association of Massachusetts has worked with the Beacon Hill Institute numerous times to study taxation, labor policies, and other governmental actions and mandates which impact local small businesses and other employers versus their competition across the country. The accuracy of their economic modeling on what will happen on jobs and investment under certain scenarios is unparalleled. Their work is respected by opinion leaders in the employer community, in public policy, and the media in Boston and across the country.”
