Contributor Biography
Stephen Gordon received his BA in Economics and Political Science from the University of Toronto in 1984 and his MA in Economics from the University of Western Ontario in 1985. After spending a summer working at the Bank of Canada, he returned to the University of Toronto for his doctoral studies and received his PhD in 1990. Since 1992, he has taught economics at Laval University in Quebec City.
Gordon has worked on range of topics, such as fixed business investment, financial economics, social choice and statistical models of the business cycle. Articles based on this research have been published in some of the top peer-reviewed journals in economics, including the American Economic Review, the Review of Economics and Statistics, the Journal of Business and Economic Statistics and the Canadian Journal of Economics.
In 2005, he started the economics blog "Worthwhile Canadian Initiative", which has since evolved into a collaborative effort with three other Canadian economics professors as regular contributors.
