Here's a very thoughtful commentary from @Steve_Lafleur for @IRPP on how targeted efforts to expand the footprint of high-tech export-oriented industries can help 🇨🇦's productivity woes: policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…. #cdnecon
I'm re-reading #budget2024 and this is maybe the most offensive paragraph in any budget I've ever read. Why?
Industrial policy may have part of the answer to Canada’s productivity problem. As IRPP research director @Steve_Lafleur explains, if Canada’s low productivity is becoming an emergency, the government must use every tool to turn it around. policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/apri…
La faible productivité du Canada inquiète. Selon @Steve_Lafleur, directeur de recherche à l'IRPP, le gouvernement doit recourir à tous ses outils pour la renforcer, y compris la politique industrielle. options-po.li/4aORjkc
Happy Earth Day! Here in one place: all the left critiques of eco-austerity, degrowth, anti-nuclearism, etc I can find. This school of thought has been described as ‘left ecomodernism’, but despite some affinities with ecomodernism, it’s really just classic democratic socialism
Today, the @IEA has started tracking progress of all 10 things that every country in the world committed to at @COP28_UAE. You can't say there's no ambition!?... 🧵 #DecadeofImplementation
Insight from Michael Smart on the capital gains inclusion rate change that is worth reading: financialpost.com/opinion/higher…
Program targeting at risk youth produces major societal benefits. Time for expansion? “We also found that eligibility for Pathways increased their annual earnings by 19 percent, employment rates by 14 percent, and decreased social assistance receipt by more than 30 percent.”

Here's your 'one stop shopping' on capital gains, from 2021 in the @CdnTaxFdn Canadian Tax Journal. Five articles plus an editors' introduction! ctf.ca/EN/Publication…
A report from ACER (the association of European energy regulators) estimates EU demand for LNG will fall ~60 bcm/y by 2027 or ~5.8 billion cubic feet/day. That's roughly HALF of US LNG exports in 2023 for scale. The US has enough new terminals already permitted to up to 3X LNG…

This capital gains change piece by @trevortombe is really good. I’m slightly less bullish on the change (I do worry a bit what it’s going to mean for housing construction finance), but this is a really good primer to the economics of it. thehub.ca/2024-04-17/tre…
Whether you prefer higher taxes or lower, changing the capital gains inclusion rate made good sense. A missed opportunity to lower other taxes to compensate, however. I explain in my latest for @TheHubCanada: thehub.ca/2024-04-17/tre… #cdnecon #cdnpoli
Inclusion rate or tax rate? Taxes on wages vs capital gains? Lots of confusion out there. It's simple: $1 in wages. Top marginal tax rate = 53%. Keep $0.47. $1 in corporate profit --> 26% corporate tax rate = $0.74 distributed as capital gains --> 50% inclusion rate = $0.37…
Writing a piece on capital gains inclusion rates!!! I think ~2/3 is about right, but there's pros and cons as with any policy choice. I'm hoping not too many eyes glaze over in the details.

Here is a snapshot of the new measures from the federal #Budget2024. Biggest spending on housing, new disability benefit, artificial intelligence, research, and support for Indigenous Peoples. Biggest contributor to revenues is change in capital gains inclusion rate. @IRPP
Time to post some data on capital gains. Inspired by Vaillancourt, Kerkhof & Godbout (2018) classic.austlii.edu.au/au/journals/eJ…, i went back through federal budget documents to pinpoint when changes have been made to the inclusion rate AND the general exemption.
As an academic administrator who talks to grad students daily, I can't overemphasize how much this is needed. Rents have gone up 25%-50% and their stipends haven't. We're running a top econ program here at @ubcVSE. We need to be competitive with other top schools. This helps.
Recently-retired Chief Statistician of Canada and @UAlberta alum Anil Arora giving the @UofA_Econ Hanson Lecture.
They say there isn’t room for safe, protected bike-lanes. They say there isn’t room for shade-creating, air cleaning street trees. Montreal shows that when you change your space priorities, you get better streets for EVERYONE. HT @DaveLikesBikes for video:
I'm thrilled to announce that I'm joining the Institute for Research on Public Policy. It's an honour to join one of Canada's most important research institutions, and I look forward to doing my part to help address some of Canada's most pressing challenges.
The IRPP would like to extend a warm welcome to our new colleague, Steve Lafleur! Steve (@Steve_Lafleur) joins us as a research director, and he will be leading the IRPP's Building New Foundations for Economic Growth Research program. Welcome, Steve!

tldr Already permitted US LNG capacity covers replacement of European 2021 consumption of Russian gas 🙃
Say what you will about whether approving further LNG exports are in the US "public interest," but pinning the case on European energy security is not it. With terminals already under construction & permitted, US LNG could replace peak Russian gas exports to Europe 2.5-times over
Woah.
Huge news! The White House is delaying the approval of a massive LNG terminal and evaluating the others based on the latest climate science. This is a massive win for people and the planet. Great decision from President Biden! nytimes.com/2024/01/24/cli…
