March 17, 2021 / RERI Research Team / Tags: Issue Brief, Reports

After circulating through the House and Senate, the American Rescue Plan Act was signed into law by President Joe Biden on March 11th, 2021. Among other features, the bill will provide an economic impact payment of up to $1,400 to individuals making up to $75,000 annually, marking the third stimulus check the Federal Government has issued to American families since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. While stimulus payments represent much needed relief for many households, how they choose to use the economic impact payment will largely depend on the financial scenario the household is in.

Issue Brief: Taxable Sales in Southwest Florida

February 04, 2021 / RERI Research Team / Tags: Issue Brief, Regional Economic Indicators, Reports

The recently published Regional Economic Indicators by the Regional Economic Research Institute reported that taxable sales were up 6 percent in October 2020 compared with October 2019. The Covid-19 protocols imposed by the state such as lockdowns and limited capacity imposed at businesses associated with consumer fear of face-to-face contact changed the pattern of consumption for most households who started to rely more heavily on online purchases. This shift in consumption pattern makes the reported numbers by the RERI puzzling at a first look. This issue brief digs deeper into the drivers of local taxable sales.
