Toward Improving Canada's Skilled Immigration Policy
Canada's approach to immigration has faced major challenges in recent years. among the, the gap between earnings of recent immigrants in Canada and their Canadian-born contemprories has been browing, and the time it takes to close the gap has been lengthening.

A History of Canadian Economic Thought
In A History of Canadian Economic Thought, Robin Neill relates the evolution of economic theory in Canada to the particular geographical and political features of the country. Whilst there were distinctively Canadian economic discourses in nineteenth-century Ontario and early twentieth-century Quebec, Neill argues that these have now been absorbed into the broader North American mainstream.
