Colgate University Public Economics Course

On this episode, we talk to Nicole Simpson, an economics professor from Colgate University, and Cherie LaRou, a financial advisor from Hantz Financial Services to discuss the Earned Income Tax Credit. We look at the large role the EITC has in reducing poverty and also the work incentives, and social and administrative costs of the program. We also discuss whether the EITC should be expanded in the future.
