Shneyerov
The work of Artyom "Art" Shneyerov was celebrated. His colleague, Huan Xie, wrote the following in his memory:

He received his Ph.D. in Economics from Northwestern University in 2002. He began his academic career at the University of British Columbia and joined the Department of Economics at Concordia University in 2007 as a tenured associate professor. Art had always been a brilliant, cheerful, and supportive colleague to work with.

Being a researcher who was enthusiastic about his work in the fields of game theory, industrial organization and applied econometrics, Art was one of the most productive professors in the department and in our profession. He published excellent and insightful papers on auctions and dynamic games in top journals such as Econometrica, the Journal of Economic Theory and the Journal of Econometrics.

Art’s work and contribution was well recognized by the university and the broader economics community. He was promoted to full professor in 2014 at Concordia University, and served as an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Industrial Organization since 2009.

Most importantly, Art had always been a supervisor and mentor who provided superior guidance and ample support to his students and junior collaborators. His former Ph.D. students, Adam Chi Leung Wong and Pai Xu, were both granted tenure at Hong Kong universities. His current Ph.D. student at Concordia, Uma Kaplan, was awarded an FRQSC doctoral fellowship in 2015. Their success is inseparable from Art’s role as a great friend, supervisor, and collaborator.

Robert Clark

Professor Robert Clark is the Stephen J.R. Smith Chair in Economic Policy in the department of Economics at Queen’s University. He holds a PhD in Economics from the University of Western Ontario. He specializes in industrial organization and has made contributions to competition policy, regulation, and the industrial organization of financial markets. Professor Clark is also an affiliated professor at HEC Montreal, and a Bank of Canada Fellow.
 
Professor Clark’s research focuses on developing a better understanding of anticompetitive behaviour on the part of firms, and the government response aimed at protecting consumers from these practices. His research has mostly centered on two such activities: agreements amongst competitors to fix prices and mergers amongst rival firms.
 
His research has been published in leading journals such as the American Economic Review, the Journal of Political Economy, the Review of Economic Studies, the RAND Journal of Economics, and the American Economic Journal: Microeconomics. His contributions have been rewarded with a number of research prizes, including the best paper of 2015 by the Association of Competition Economics and the 2020 Public Utility Research Prize for the best paper in regulatory economics at the International Industrial Organization Conference.
