The sixth Republican presidential debate is already upon us, and the candidates are again expected to focus on business and the economy. Tax policy has been a driving topic in these debates, and several of the candidates have issued comprehensive tax reform plans.

Throughout the race, our economists have used our powerful Taxes and Growth Dynamic Scoring Model to analyze how each candidate’s tax plan will affect GDP, jobs, wages, government revenues, and economic growth.
