Abstract

What do taxes have to do with migration? Why people leave Nebraska and what brings new people to our state is a hot-button topic in policy debates on taxes and economic development. OpenSky talks with two leading experts on what interstate migration and the role taxes might play. Josie Gatti Schafer of the Center for Public Affairs Research at the University of Nebraska - Omaha discusses recent trends in brain drain out of Nebraska and what’s behind people leaving our state while Cristobal Young of Cornell University reviews recent evidence on tax-related migration and especially the decision-making habits of millionaires.
