COLORADO CENTER FOR POLICY STUDIES: Program on Growth
and Development Issues
The program on growth issues applies the latest research in land use
and environmental economics, along with public finance and basic economic
theory, to the growth issues facing Colorado today. We start with the
assumption that market-based forces should be relied on wherever possible,
but recognize that certain conditions cause markets to break down.
Quality of life is best protected and enhanced when citizens and
policymakers recognize where markets will work well and where they will
not.
