April 5, 2012 - The C.D. Howe Institute congratulates University of Western Ontario Professor John Whalley for winning the 2012 Killam Prize.
“John Whalley is an outstanding intellectual leader in economics and economic policy,” said William B.P Robson, President and CEO of the C.D. Howe Institute. “The C.D. Howe Institute has benefited from his contributions as a writer and a presenter, and congratulate him on this major achievement.”
The Killam Program presents five $100,000 awards annually to outstanding Canadian scholars working in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences and engineering in recognition of career achievements.
These awards, among Canada’s most distinguished research awards, are made possible through the Killam Trusts by a bequest of Mrs. Dorothy J. Killam, and a gift she made before her death in 1965. A committee of 15 eminent Canadian scholars appointed by the Canada Council chooses recipients. The Killam Prize ceremony will be held at Rideau Hall on May 15.
