We are pleased to have Stan McMillen, Ph.D., Managing Economist, Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development, as our guest speaker. He will discuss how the Department of Economic and Community Development uses the REMI Model.

Other topics will include:

• REMI PI⁺ and TranSight: Understanding the Economic Implications of Policy Decisions:
  This presentation offers a comprehensive introduction to the REMI models.


• Mileage Tax: Money for Miles
  Using REMI TranSight 3.0, we will assess the economic impacts of implementing a mileage tax on drivers, as opposed to a gas tax. We will examine the various methods of implementing this program and the effects they will have on drivers.


• Climate: Tools for Evaluating Climate Policies
  Climate policies raise a number of issues for industries as well as consumers. We’ll address those issues in both the short and long-term as seen through the REMI models.


• PI⁺: Navigating Through the Linkages
  Analytical graphs within the model illustrate cause-and-effect relationships between economic variables, and we’ll explore how to use the graphs to construct a detailed story of economic impacts. We’ll also examine the model linkages to show the interconnectivity of the model’s macroeconomic concepts.


• Health Care: Diagnosing Universal Health Care Reform
  Current health care reform proposals range widely in terms of methodology. We’ll focus on the different possibilities for reform and evaluate the economic effects of each.
