Had anyone come across research papers that look at the link between the quality of a country’s democracy and how well politicians manage sovereign wealth funds? Do stronger democracies do a better job? Do autocracies do better than democracies?

A new FES discovery for me with the benefit of more time to read: 🧵 There are measures to get CRA to make more progress on tax-agency reconciliation (aka "automatic tax-filing"). This has been a big focus of my work along w/ Saul Schwartz & @agenestgregoire.bsky.social. 1/n #cdnpoli #cdnecon

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Saúl Sandoval Perea and I examine Mexico’s bold move to reduce regulator independence to prioritize public interest over business. Businesses in Mexico and Canada must rethink their approach, showing how their plans benefit society, not just the economy.

Have you ever wanted to learn how to use the Social Policy Simulation Database/Model (SPSD/M)? I will be offering my half-day crash course training on January 28. It will get you up and running with the program, and is a great compliment to the four-day intensive training offered by StatsCan
