• Economics for public policy

  

• This blog is about economics that matters:
  for public policy; for Canadians; and for others.

  My name is Miles Corak. I am a professor at the University of Ottawa trained in labour economics, and working on child rights, poverty, immigration, social and economic mobility, unemployment, and social policy.

  My blog is intended for an audience of engaged citizens who have a curiosity about economics and how it can inform public policy.
