Born and raised in Saint-Lambert on the south shore of Montreal in Canada, I am currently currently pursuing a Ph.D in economic history at the London School of Economics (LSE) for which I have received a fellowship from the Institute for Humane Studies. My research subject for the Ph.D concerns the economic and institutional history of Canada and Quebec from the mid-1700s to the mid-1800s. I also have a master’s degree in economic history from the same institution. I received my undergraduate degree from Montreal University in political economy. Currently, I am on leave from the LSE for archival research while teaching summer classes in economics at HEC Montréal (at a graduate level) and being a research associate at the Centre for Prosperity and Productivity.
My research work examined the economic history of the province of Quebec from 1920 to 1960. These research resulted in a book on the economic history of Quebec (in french titled Le Grand Rattrapage et le Déclin Tranquille: Histoire Économique et Sociale du Québec de 1900 à 2010).
I have also studied in the United States at the Washington Centre for Academic Seminars and Internships. In a distant past, I interned at the Prime Minister’s cabinet in Ottawa and the National Post. I also used to be an economist at the Montreal Economic Institute from 2010 to 2011 where I remain as an associate researcher. I also have a weekly radio column with Quebec City’s RadioX during the 5-to-7 show.
I am also recipient of a fellowship from the Institute for Humane Studies, an international mobility bursary from the Ministère des Relations internationales du Québec and a graduate student bursary from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Salut Vincent,
bravo pour ton site et ton article recent pour le Huffington Post.
Je vais suivre ton blogue. Je suis aussi un etudiant au Doc. Je fais mon PhD en finance a UBC.
Ces évolutions comparées ne s’expliquent-elles pas en partie par la présence de très hauts revenus vraiment plus importants en Ontario, mais affectant peu de gens. En ce sens, la médiane n’offre-t-elle pas une base plus convainquante pour reprèsenter le pouvoir d’achat du plus grand nombre ?
Je référais aux heures travaillées pour se payer un logement…
Dominique, je présume que tu postais sur mon billet concernant les loyers? Je vais te répondre là en postant ton commentaire.
