How have inequalities changed in Canada since the 1980s? Are there any disparities between Quebec and the other provinces? What are the most effective tax and social policies to correct inequalities before and after taxes?
The Chair in Taxation and Public Finance, whose holder is Luc Godbout, professor at the University of Sherbrooke and CIRANO Researcher and Fellow, and the World Inequality Lab are organizing an online conference to present the results of a new study on inequalities in Canada since 1980.

This will be followed by a presentation by Silas Xuereb, WIL, University of Massachusetts, Amherst Matthew Fisher-Post, WIL, François Delorme, WIL, CFFP, Université de Sherbrooke and Camille Lajoie, London School of Economics on the methodology and results of their study.
