The Importance of the EITC to Urban Economies
Posted by Carolyn Spohrer at 2:11 PM Press Releases
Though most do not recognize it as an "urban" program, the Earned Income Tax Credit provides significant benefits to families in cities and suburbs and stimulates local economic activity. In this presentation to Congressional staff organized by Living Cities, Alan Berube examines what members can do to maximize the benefits of the EITC for lower-income families and communities in their districts.
Alan Berube is the Research Director for the Metropolitan Policy Program of The Brookings Institution.
