Just in time for Ohio's new biennial budget release, Buckeye's renowned Economist Dr. Orphe Divounguy will give a talk called: "Incentives Matter: An Examination of Tax Policy and the Importance of Incentives." Whether you are an economist or policymaker or are not quite sure you understand economic concepts, Dr. Divounguy is here to help explain why and exactly how the tax code impacts individual and corporate behavior.
Divounguy analyzes the impact of federal and state government policy on economic outcomes in the states. He earned his Ph.D. from England's University of Southampton, and served as a teaching and research fellow and international economic consultant before joining the Buckeye team earlier this year.
When: Buckeye's lunchtime seminars begin promptly at noon and end by 1:30 at the latest (and often earlier).
Where: The Buckeye Institute's conference room on the 11th floor of the Key Bank building located on the corner of East Broad Street and 3rd at 88 East Broad Street in Columbus, directly across from Statehouse/Capitol building. If you need help finding parking downtown, click here.
Background: The Buckeye Institute's policy experts and leadership team regularly share their expert insight and wisdom with Buckeye's staff and interns over lunch. Last fall, we decided to try something experimental.
We began offering our supporters the opportunity to attend these formerly staff-and-interns-only lunchtime seminars. We just asked that you let us know you're coming, bring your own lunch, and show up on time so as not to interrupt the speaker.
