Contemporary Canadian Economic Policy

Contemporary Canadian Economic Policy presents students with current and ongoing issues and debates in economic policy. Author Anthony Noce illustrates to students in economics and policy disciplines how models presented in more technical undergraduate courses translate to real-world policy applications. The text is ideal for anyone with introductory economics knowledge but also well-appreciated by those who have taken intermediate theory courses in economics. Opening chapters provide students with an overview of macroeconomic policy before covering policy, policymakers, and incentives; writing policy briefs; and the causes and history of economic growth in Canada. Additional chapters discuss contemporary fiscal and monetary policies in Canada, economic growth and immigration policies, and the science and economics of the environment. The second edition features new images and equations, updated tables and figures to reflect 2024 and 2025 data and policy developments affecting Canada, and updated policy content throughout.
