For nearly 40 years, the ACCF and its research affiliate, the ACCF Center for Policy Research, have brought the message to U.S. and international policymakers, the media, and the public that a nation’s economic strength and stability depend upon well-thought-out economic, regulatory, and environmental policies that promote capital formation, economic growth, and a higher standard of living for all
. The ACCF’s policy goals - strong capital formation, a balanced regulatory regime, and cost-effective environmental policies - address these challenges and can help assure that the United States continues in its role as the world’s preeminent power in the global economy. Achieving these goals requires limiting the rising share of scarce resources absorbed by the government. It is also imperative to reduce the taxation of savings and investment by businesses and individuals. These objectives, along with sound regulatory policies based on cost-benefit analysis, are key tools for promoting prosperity in the United States. To carry out its mission, the ACCF and the ACCF Center for Policy Research continue to make significant contributions in the areas of economic and environmental policy by testifying before Congress, sponsoring research, hosting forums, publishing reports, and meeting with U.S. and international policymakers, business leaders, and the media to focus on pro-capital formation policies.
