Phyllis Resnick

Resnick is one of the co-founders of the Colorado Futures Center and serves as both executive director and lead economist.   Her research spans macro-fiscal forecasting, analyzing fiscal and budget decisions and an expanded portfolio focused on economic security for Colorado households.

She is the lead modeler for the center’s quarterly ColoradoCast, the state’s only short-term forecast of economic activity.  Most recently, her work at the center has focused on housing, social determinants of health, neighborhood displacement, disproportionately impacted communities and other studies associating social factors with economic security.

As a volunteer and independent consultant in Africa, the MENA countries and east Asia, Resnick has worked with central and local governments as well as civil society on issues of macro-fiscal forecasting, tax policy analysis, open budgets and transparency and fiscal decentralization.  For her volunteer work she was recognized as the 2015 Volunteer of the Year from the Volunteers for Economic Growth Alliance.

Resnick holds an MA and Ph.D from the University of Colorado.
