Dr. Yoram Bauman, “the world’s first and only stand-up economist” will be presenting a seminar on Carbon Taxes and the I-732 campaign in Washington State. Bauman founded CarbonWA, a non-profit meant to create bi-partisan support for a revenue-neutral carbon tax in Washington State (I-732). The initiative became heavily politicized, with environmental groups uniting against the policy, and ultimately failed. Check out Vox.com’s article for a detailed account of the issue.

Bauman will discuss the economics of carbon taxes and share lessons learned from the I-732 campaign.
