Was a privilege to join @pn3policy's State Tax Policy Academy in Nashville this week, where I presented @ThePolicyEngine & directed a working session for state policymakers/policy professionals to simulate state tax credits. Reach out if we can help model EITC/CTC impacts!
CEO @MaxGhenis, joined the #PN3PolicyAcademy where he introduced teams to @ThePolicyEngine, a free, open-source platform that enables users to simulate reforms like state #EITCs and analyze how these policies affect household resources. #PolicyImpact #TaxCredits #PolicyDesign
