About
Minnesota Economy Project:The Minnesota Economy Project was launched in 2016. Its goal is to educate Minnesotans to the fact that the state's economic performance in recent years has not been good, in order to build public and legislative support for lower taxes and less onerous regulation.Since 2016, the Center has published an annual analysis of Minnesota's economic performance in the 21st Century. We have publicized the findings of each paper with press conferences, radio and television appearances, op-eds in dozens of newspapers, radio ads on dozens of radio stations, three internet videos that have now exceeded 2 million views within the State of Minnesota, town meetings and other public appearances, and posts on the Center's web site and Facebook page.In 2018 we published a study of Minnesota's estate tax, which showed that Minnesota could abolish its estate tax without losing any significant amount of net tax revenue, and might actually gain tax revenue.In 2019 we published an important study on Minnesota's workforce. Though Minnesota has a high labor participation rate and, therefore, relatively high GDP per capita, concerns on the horizon include below average labor productivity, higher minimum wages, and a rise in occupational licensing hurdles.Our policy goals include abolition of the estate tax; spending restraint to allow tax cuts; personal and corporate income tax rate cuts; regulatory reform; and promoting pension transparency and reform. Other Center projects will also contribute to a stronger Minnesota economy.
