Rice's Baker Institute receives $3.2 million grant to study effects of US tax and spending policies

(Rice University) Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy has received a five-year, $3.2 million grant from the Charles Koch Foundation to fund a program to examine the dynamic effects of major fiscal policies. Given the complexity of the US tax system and the unsustainability of current US fiscal policy, the goal of the program will be to inform policymakers and the general public about the potential effects of reforming US tax and expenditure policies.
