A Typology Of Place-Based Investment Tax Incentives, Michelle D. Layser
Washington and Lee Journal of Civil Rights and Social Justice
This Article makes several contributions to tax, poverty, and empirical legal literature.

Eitc For All: A Universal Basic Income Compromise Proposal, Benjamin Leff
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Universal Basic Income ("UBI") is a concept that has recently begun to enter the popular political consciousness in the United States. It is defined as "a regular cash income paid to all, on an individual basis, without means test or work requirement."
