Praise for the Institute

It is an honour to become a C.D. Howe Institute fellow and to be part of a leading research organization dedicated to competitiveness, productivity and innovation in Canada.

The C.D. Howe's Financial Services Research Initiative is a unique set-up, unparalleled in Canada. It brings together policy makers, industry experts, financial institutions and academic researchers for a free exchange of ideas and pressing regulatory concerns.

No one at the C.D. Howe Institute has ever told me what opinions I should hold, but when it comes to how I present them, it is a very different matter. Its readers and editors require logically coherent arguments, well supported by evidence and clearly expressed. The Institute's peer-review process is impeccable.
 

We support the Institute because good policy decisions don't happen by chance, they arise from informed debate aided by quality independent research.

Among the many advantages of working with the C.D. Howe Institute is its unmatched system of peer review. Numerous internal and external reviewers provide high quality and timely feedback on research papers, allowing authors to contribute to policy debates as they develop rather than play catchup.

The world is in vigorous search of the right economic, trade and public policies to address inclusive growth. Thus, the work on an independent and intellectually rigorous organization such as the C.D. Howe Institute gains even more relevance today, not only within Canada, but beyond its borders. It’s a great honor to be invited to be an International Fellow of the Institute.
