We believe in the value of sound fiscal and economic research, and that educated policymakers, voters, and communities are essential to improving our shared economic future.

We examine the economic impact of policies, initiatives, and proposed laws by employing dynamic modeling that accurately measures the impact of each measure on the Colorado economy. To fully achieve our mission, we actively promote these solutions through the education of policy experts, lawmakers, community leaders, and the general public. The mission of CSPR is to engage on the issues that matter most to the future economic prosperity of the citizens of Colorado. We focus on promoting ideas and information that enhance our free-enterprise system. Through monthly discussions with our diverse board of directors and strategic partnerships, quarterly events and monthly podcasts, we aim to have an impact on the understanding of the public policy and economic issues that matter most to Coloradans. This focus brings us to study a range of subject areas including improving education outcomes, sound fiscal policy that does not put the taxpayer at future risk, and establishing a regulatory environment that enables free-enterprise. In 2020, we continue to focus on examining how some issues and policies under pension reform, paid family leave, oil and gas regulation, K-12 education, health care, TABOR, and tax increase measures might impact the overall health of Colorado and its citizens.

We own a license for Tax PI+ REMI dynamic model for the state of Colorado and regions of Denver South and Metro Denver EDC. REMI is a dynamic economic modeling program created by Dr. George Treyz. Regional Economic Models, Inc. (REMI), founded by Dr.Treyz in 1980 is located in Amherst, MA.

In aiming to shift policy discussions away from party lines and political rhetoric and towards utilizing research, we gauge our progress through a variety of factors including news hits, membership levels, e-newsletter subscriptions and social media followers.

In 2019, we achieved our mission and our voice was heard. We brought sound fiscal analysis, economic modeling and the truth to Coloradans on a list of issues. A couple of the issues we worked on were: - Denver Initiative 300: Impacts on the Homeless and Society by Granting Unimpeded Access to Public Space - Senate Bill 181: The statewide cost of prohibitions, restrictions and regulatory uncertainty in Colorado’s energy sector - Senate Bill 188: Analysis of the cost and risk of financial insolvency for a Colorado Paid Leave Program - Colorado Emissions Reduction Calculator - Building Gated Cities Policy Brief - Dollars & Data: A look at K-12 Education Funding in Colorado - Anticipating a State Option for Health Care: Will Business Face Higher Costs or Will Quality and Access be Cut? - Proposition CC: Critical Questions Answered With all of those studies and successes, we also did much more.
