Contemporary Canadian Economic Policy in the Context of Incentives, Economic Growth, Immigration and Environmental Susta, (Paperback)

Contemporary Canadian Economic Policy in the Context of Incentives, Economic Growth, Immigration, and Environmental Sustainability 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 and is well-appreciated by those who have taken intermediate theory courses in economics.

The text is organized into three parts. Part I provides students with an overview of macroeconomic policy. Chapters cover policy, policymakers, and incentives; writing policy briefs; the role of GDP, growth rates, and index numbers in policymaking; and the causes and history of economic growth in Canada. In Part II, readers learn about contemporary fiscal policies in Canada for economic growth, modern monetary policy, and the relationship between changing demographics and immigration policy. The final part focuses on economic and environmental sustainability policy. Students read about the economy's impact on the environment and existing contradictions between modern Canadian energy policy, climate deals, and immigration policy.
