Welcome!

By Bruce Kellison

Welcome to the new IC2 Blog, intended to give program managers, researchers, visiting scholars, and staff at the Institute a chance to share their current ideas and research.

I wanted to use my first posting to point toward a couple of the most recent reports and studies from the Bureau of Business Research. My colleagues in the Bureau, Elsie Echeverri-Carroll and Sofia Ayala, recently published an article in Policy Review on competitiveness and regulation, which will interest those concerned about the potential impact on businesses of climate change policy. And my colleague Jim Jarrett and I, together with Noel Busch of the UT-based Institute for Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, coauthored a study for the Texas Legislature examining the socio-economic effects of the state’s sexually oriented businesses, a $1 billion business segment subject to the controversial Adult Entertainment Fee.
