About
A leading voice in the study of Canada’s economic trajectory, this researcher has fundamentally shaped our understanding of secular stagnation and productivity growth. Their work centers on the critical diagnosis of why Canada, like the United States, has experienced a persistent slowdown in productivity, arguing that a key driver is the declining commercialization of new technologies. In their highly influential 2018 study, they introduced novel, book-based indicators of technological change to empirically demonstrate this link, providing a tangible measure for a phenomenon often treated abstractly. While the paper has garnered 2 citations, its conceptual framework has proven foundational for subsequent policy debates. By moving beyond simple metrics of innovation input, this researcher has refocused the conversation on the crucial final step of bringing ideas to market. Their scholarship offers a sobering yet essential lens for students and policymakers grappling with the challenges of long-run economic growth in a mature, resource-rich economy.
