Fiscal Policy Challenge, 2022-2023 Edition


CIRANO is pleased to announce the launch of the new edition of the Fiscal Policy Challenge.

The objective of this challenge is to find innovative and rigorous solutions to current public policy issues. Many sectors of activity are challenged by the economic changes that are occurring and innovation presents a unique opportunity to increase the productivity of the Quebec economy! It's in this context that this year's theme, the potential of innovation, was chosen.

The question is: How can innovation contribute to facing the major societal challenges of Quebec?


Information and rules of the contest

The contest is open to master's students or students who have completed 60 or more credits in a bachelor's degree in economics, political science, taxation or any other related field.

For the 3 winners: Three prizes to be shared for a total amount of $4000, as well as the chance to present the fruit of their thoughts to the ministère des Finances du Québec and the possibility of an internship at the ministère des Finances.
