Economic research in Canada: Evolution and convergence
本文回顾了加拿大经济研究的历史与现状，探讨其是否具有独特性以及是否应更独特，并分析趋同于全球标准对加拿大公共利益的影响。
Abstract We describe the history and current state of economic research in Canada, including the role of the Canadian Economics Association (CEA) and other institutions. Our paper is organized around two central questions. Is Canadian economic research distinctive? And should it be more distinctive? We argue that a distinct Canadian “school” of economics existed in the past, but that economic research in Canada has converged on an evolving global standard in both method and topics. We ask whether this convergence serves the Canadian public interest and we raise some questions about the future of the CEA and its flagship journal, the CJE.
