Note: The values in Section II relate to changes in macroeconomic variables relative to the Comptroller's baseline economic forecast for each individual year.

III. Economic Implications after 2008

After ten years, in 2013, this bill could be expected to decrease employment by 10,600 workers, investment by $131.7 million, and Texas Personal Income by $576.5 million.

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 is based on the historical relationships between state tax revenues and associated economic factors.
