How To Raise State Revenue Without Raising Taxes, Christopher R. Bollinger
How To Raise State Revenue Without Raising Taxes, Christopher R. Bollinger
Issue Brief on Topics Affecting Kentucky’s Economy
A positive relationship exists between educational attainment and earnings, which has been well established in the literature through multiple studies. This, in turn, influences the revenues generated for the state of Kentucky through the personal income tax.

Kentucky loses between $300 million and $500 million in state tax revenues every year because our educational attainment is lower than the national average.
