Economics for public policy
-
This site is about economics that matters:
for public policy; for Canadians; and for others.My name is Miles Corak. I am a professor with the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, trained in labour economics, and working on child rights, poverty, immigration, social and economic mobility, unemployment, and social policy.
My website is intended for an audience of engaged citizens who have a curiosity about economics and how it can inform public policy.
