"California’s economy is strong, but some of November’s propositions could do more harm than good. Policies like raising the minimum wage and expanding rent control often backfire, leading to higher unemployment and housing shortages." Excerpted from Research Manager Niree Kodaverdian, Ph.D. new op-ed in the San Francisco Business Times.

关于我们
Beacon Economics, LLC is an independent research and consulting firm dedicated to delivering accurate, insightful, and objectively-based analysis about the economy, enabling its clients to make informed decisions about investment, growth, revenue, and policy. Founded in 2007, the firm entered the spotlight as one of the earliest and most adamant forecasters of the subprime mortgage market meltdown – and as one of a handful of organizations to stand against the tide and correctly calculate the depth and breadth of the global financial and economic crisis that followed. Unlike other consulting groups in this sphere, many of which are directed by MBAs or urban and city planners, Beacon Economics is led by, and works with, PhD and Master’s level economists. The academic training and credentials of its experts set the firm apart and are at the root of its commitment to objectivity and analytic excellence. Beacon Economics’ work has been used by a diverse array of private and public sector clients including the California State Controller’s Office, Paulson & Company (one of Wall Street’s leading hedge funds), major cities and counties across the western United States, the PGA Tour, Southern California Edison, Kaiser Permanente, and the Sacramento Kings basketball team.

The slowdown is being driven by a number of unforced fiscal errors and poor policy choices by state leaders over the past decade. See our new Beacon Outlook California for more.

Listen to Founding Partner Christopher Thornberg's conversation with Jot Condie of the California Restaurant Association about our new research on the state's minimum wage. The impact of repeated wage hikes is starting to show and teen workers are taking the hit. Wage floor policies are well-intended, but there is strong empirical evidence (including emerging evidence) that they do harm to vulnerable groups and are ineffective in either reducing poverty or transferring wealth from high to lower income residents. Certainly enough evidence that an open, objective debate should be happening - and before California raises the wage again.
