Project : Head tax analysis and memo

0 comments

you have to be good in math and economics for this assignment its a two page memo that has check( details pf project and research process) for full project plan

your gonna skim through 3 websites and 4 articles and come with graphs and some equations websites are all the way down.

Your Task: As interns, you have been asked to complete a theoretical and applied economic analysis of the impacts of implementing a head tax in Seattle, and then write a short memo recommending a position on the head tax for the Seattle City Council based on your findings. The analysis will need to demonstrate how firms and individuals will respond to the head tax, how the market price and quantity of labor will change, estimated tax revenue, social gains and losses, and distributional impacts. The memo will need to summarize the pros and cons of your recommended position, giving both supporting and alternative views. Fortunately, another intern (that has since been fired for not following directions) has performed the background research and found the sources and data given below. You need to:

  • review and evaluate the sources below in an annotated bibliography (example provided),
  • develop a theoretical framework for worker’s response to the labor tax increase,
  • make calculations regarding the tax increase on the government, firms and workers,
  • determine your position for making a recommendation,
  • develop a visual (table or graph) that helps support your position, and
  • write a short memo summarizing your recommendation and analysis.

Not all pros and cons are quantifiable, so it is important that you give quantitative and qualitative information to the Council so they can justify their position. Qualitative information may come from the resources provided. There are public and private organizations on both sides of this issue, so it is imperative that your work is complete and well documented.
