Tax Foundation President Scott Hodge is joined by economist Erica York and Senior Policy Analyst Garrett Watson to answer a question U.S. policymakers have been asking for decades: how should we tax research and development (R&D)?

What other tools do policymakers have at their disposal and what does the future hold for the taxation of R&D in America?
