CREEi partnered with CIRANO to host a conference on December 1, 2025. Over the course of the day, speakers explored topics spanning personality and educational outcomes, mental health, and development across childhood and adulthood, with the goal of deepening our understanding of how schooling influences individuals and society.

The Research Chair in Intergenerational Economics (CREEi) sponsored a conference organized by ESG UQAM on the economic and social impacts of artificial intelligence. Daron Acemoglu (MIT) and Yoshua Bengio (Mila) discussed the risks and opportunities of AI, particularly regarding employment, productivity, energy demand, and the concentration of technological power.

The Research Chair on Intergenerational Economic Issues (CREEI), the Research Group on Human Capital (GRCH), and ECOSVieQ organized a symposium at CIRANO to provide students with an opportunity to discuss and present their respective research.

The event celebrated the renewal and 10th anniversary of the CREEi, highlighting its contributions to the study of intergenerational dynamics. A retrospective of achievements, a panel discussion on public policies, and a convivial reception marked this memorable day.

The event was organized as part of the launch of a new research project, “Le Québec des bâtisseurs”, and the unveiling of three initial studies. This work shed light on entrepreneurship in the Quebec economy, and more specifically the history of Quebec’s great entrepreneurs, the role of education in entrepreneurship and the place of Francophones.

The colloquium addressed topics concerning monetary policy and economic growth in Quebec, discussing changes in targets, the role of public policies, and incorporating feedback from speakers and the audience. Further informations availaible on CREEi’s website.

This event offered a unique blend of cutting-edge political and academic perspectives, shedding light on one of the most pressing challenges of our time. It featured nine presentations covering a wide range of topics related to inequalities and poverty, spanning empirical, theoretical, and quantitative approaches.

This workshop, organized by Raquel Fonseca (ESG-UQAM and CIRANO) and Marie-Louise Leroux (ESG-UQAM and CIRANO), was on research related to the economic challenges of demographic inequalities. The presentations were related to gender inequalities, intergenerational inequalities, income and wealth inequalities, and health inequalities.

In collaboration with the CIRANO, Retraite Québec and the FRQSC, the Research Chair in Intergenerational Economics is organizing a workshop during which six speakers from Canada, the U.S. and overseas will discuss issues related to the transformation of the job market in the context of an aging population.

The Joint Montreal Macro Brownbag gives Montreal-based researchers in macroeconomics the opportunity to meet and discuss each others’ work. The event brings together researchers from all economics departments in Montreal and promotes their collaboration.
