Here we simply cite the six studies relied on by Romney (actually we end up with eight). They are grouped under the Cited studies node below this one. In addition we have included a simulation study by John Diamond of Rice University which is not mentioned in the Romney campaign press release, but which Romney did refer to in the second Presidential debate. The Diamond study is particularly important as it is the only one that utilizes an economic growth model to estimate the boost to GDP from tax reform of the Romney type - and its growth estimate is relied on by the Rosen paper for a growth estimate that underpins his estimate of how such reform would boost tax revenue.

Having identified the studies relied on by the Romney camp we then cross-link them to where they are invoked in the map of the No case - and where they they are placed in the correct position in the argument structure (i.e. showing which part of the No case they support or undermine).

In the citation below we have reproduced an excerpt from a press release from the Mitt Romney campaign that identifies the six studies.
