III. Economic Implications after 2008

After ten years, by 2013, this bill could be expected to have increased employment by 133,000 workers, investment by $3.7 billion, and Texas Personal Income by $5.2 billion.

IV. Methodology

A Texas-specific general equilibrium model was employed in calculating the economic impacts. The model distributes the value that otherwise would have been paid/saved in taxes by businesses and/or consumers among the state's economic sectors. The revenue feedback calculation was based on the historical relationships between state tax revenues and associated economic factors.
