BHI is a leading authority in state tax policy analysis. Its State Tax Analysis Modeling Program (STAMP) has provided opinion leaders and policy makers in several states with the ability to examine proposed tax-law changes for their economic effects. The Institute’s work has appeared in the national and Massachusetts media, including The Wall Street Journal, US News & World Report, The Los Angeles Times Magazine, The Chronicle of Philanthropy, C-Span, National Public Radio, The Boston Globe, and The Boston Herald. Institute personnel have testified before Congress and state legislatures. Students accepted into the MSEP program may apply for stipends to serve as research assistants on BHI projects.

AB, AM, The George Washington University; PhD, University of Virginia Now in his tenth year of teaching at Suffolk, Professor Haughton is dedicated to educating his “intellectual children”—the students in his master’sand doctoral-level courses. “Suffolk offers applied economics degrees,” he says. “Our goal is to produce working economists, for academia, the public sector, and private firms. “We have a number of students who work at the Beacon Hill Institute, getting their feet wet with policy work, building general equilibrium models, and looking at issues, taxes, subsidies, and industrial regulations,” he says. Haughton has worked with graduate economics students researching the profitability of windmills on Nantucket Sound, the cost-effectiveness of project labor agreements, and the effects of fair tax proposals. “Our students get a marvelous apprenticeship in the politics of economics,” he says. Professor Haughton believes his students have a bright forecast ahead of them. “Since 2000, the world economy has grown at a rate of 4.2 percent a year,” he says. “I’m the eternal optimist, perhaps, but we may look back at this as a time of considerable plenty.” 39 39 http://www.beaconhill.org
