Economist Laffer speaking at UGA
Arthur B. Laffer, a supply side economist who was a policy advisor to the Reagan administration, will present a lecture on the state of the U.S. economy since 1980 at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday in the University of Georgia Chapel. As a member of the late President Ronald Reagan's economic policy advisory board, Laffer was best known for popularizing the Laffer curve, which asserts that in certain situations a decrease in tax rates could result in an increase in tax revenues. One of his earliest successes in shaping public policy was his involvement in Proposition 13, the groundbreaking California initiative that drastically cut property taxes in the state in 1978. Today, Laffer is the founder and chairman of Laffer Associates, an economic research and consulting firm that provides global investment-research services to institutional asset managers, pension funds, financial institutions and corporations.
