| CIRANO renames its experimental economics laboratory in honor of Claude Montmarquette |
|
|
|
Claude Montmarquette, Professor Emeritus at Université de Montréal, researcher and Fellow of CIRANO, was one of the pioneers of experimental and behavioural economics in Canada. His work had a significant impact in the fields of economics and public policy. He was one of the first economists in Quebec to understand and exploit the potential of behavioral and axperimental economics for the design and evaluation of public policies, particularly in the fields of education, public finance and labor economics. In 2000, he created within CIRANO, the first experimental economics laboratory in Quebec. In order to pay tribute to him and to perpetuate his legacy, the CIRANO laboratory was officially renamed in his honor, becoming the “Laboratoire d'économie expérimentale Claude Montmarquette.”
Huan Xie, full professor at Concordia University and Sabine Kröger, full professor at Laval University are the researchers in charge of the Claude Montmarquette Experimental Economics Laboratory. They supervise and animate the activities that take place throughout the year.
