She graduated from Yale in 2002. In August 2003 she was appointed as a research assistant at the Brookings Institution in Washington DC. Panel Attrition in Survey Data: A Literature Review Panel studies, where the same individuals or households1 are interviewed at multiple points in time, have a number of advantages over cross-sectional studies for the study of certain social phenomenon. For example, cross-sectional data may document a constant unemployment rate over two periods of time, but will render no information content regarding whether bouts of unemployment are cyclical, with the same proportion of individuals transitioning in and out of the job market within the time period, or whether unemployed status is a chronic condition for a select group of individuals.

  • (R&D) Tax Credit
    Report toThe the Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Department of General Revenue Assembly Bureau of Research on the Research and Development (R&D) Tax Credit The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue Bureau of Research March 15, 2012 Pennsylvania Research and Development Tax Credit Page 1 of 14 The Pennsylvania R&D Tax Credit Statute On May 7, 1997, Act 7 of 1997 created the Pennsylvania research and development (R&D) tax credit. The R&D tax credit provision became Article XVII-B of the Tax Reform Code of 1971 (TRC). The intent of the R&D tax credit was to encourage taxpayers to increase R&D expenditures within the Commonwealth in order to enhance economic growth. The terms and concepts used in the calculation of the Commonwealth’s R&D tax credit are based on the federal government’s R&D tax credit definitions for qualified research expense.1 For R&D tax credits awarded between December 1997 and December 2003, Act 7 of 1997 authorized the Department of Revenue (Department) to approve up to $15 million in total tax credits per fiscal year. Additionally, $3 million of the $15 million was set aside for “small” businesses, where a “small business” is defined as a “for-profit corporation, limited liability company, partnership or proprietorship with net book value of assets totaling…less than five million dollars ($5,000,000).” Over the years, several changes have been made to the R&D tax credit statute. Table 1 lists all of the acts that have changed the R&D tax credit statute, along with the applicable award years, the overall tax credit cap and the “small” business set aside.

    DRIVING INNOVATION WITH: CAPITAL, KNOWLEDGE & NETWORKS 2013-2014 ANNUAL REPORT BEN FRANKLIN TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS Regional Focus. Statewide Strength. Global Impact. On December 6, 1982, Ben Franklin Technology Partners (BFTP) was founded by Governor Dick Thornburgh and the Pennsylvania legislature. BFTP has since become the gold standard for technology-based economic development in the country. BFTP is a national and international model, honored with numerous awards and commendations from the President, U.S. Dept. of Commerce, International Economic Development Council and others. BFTP has played a central role in the Commonwealth’s transition to a globally competitive knowledge economy. The success of BFTP’s portfolio clients ripples throughout the Pennsylvania economy, contributing to new jobs, new growth, new investments and higher Gross State Product. For example, since 1989, BFTP has: • Boosted the PA economy by more than $23.5 billion • Generated 51,000 jobs in client firms • Added 89,000 additional jobs beyond those in client firms, yielding a total of 140,000 new jobs attributable to BFTP’s support And especially compelling for these challenging times: • From 2007-2011, the Commonwealth received $358 million in additional state tax receipts, plus $144 million in state tax receipts from related BFTP client services, for a total increase of $502 million in state revenue as a direct result of BFTP investments in client firms. • New state tax revenue generated as a result of BFTP represents a 3.6-to-1 payback to the Commonwealth on its $137.7 million investment in BFTP. Ben Franklin’s involvement was a vote of confidence that drew in a series of local and international investors.
