Economic modeling tools such as REMI and IMPLAN are widely used to evaluate state tax incentives, but what happens when the theoretical assumptions built into these models meet real-world complexity? In this webinar, panelists and attendees will explore the limitations of economic modeling tools and discuss how evaluators can produce realistic, policy-relevant reports for legislators. Join us for a candid conversation on how evaluators can bridge the gap between economic models and reality.
