I have a new working paper out with James Dean (now of Western Carolina University). He and I previously collaborated on work regarding intra-generational income mobility and economic freedom in Canada since 1982. In this new working paper, we move on to the topic of poverty dynamics (i.e., transitions in and out of poverty) in Canada since 1992. The paper is here on SSRN and the abstract is below
Economic freedom is generally associated with higher average income levels. However, can the very poor benefit from it? Does it help them escape their disadvantaged position? Does it limits the possibility of entry into low-income status? In this paper, we use longitudinal data from Canada regarding the duration of low income spells, entries and exits from low-income status from 1992 to 2020 to deal with that question. Aggregated at the provincial level, these different indicators of low-income status are negatively related with the Fraser Institute’s Economic Freedom of North America (EFNA) index.
This paper is the second of a series of a number of planned articles on the matter of mobility and markets using Canadian provincial data.

Hi Vincent, a question, have you studied or do you plan to write something about industrialization in Switzerland in the 18th-19th century and free trade. Well, certain things need to be clarified, as several sources augur that the Napoleonic blockade saved Swiss industry, as a sort of infant industry argument. Although some papers specialized in the textile industry precisely explain that after the lifting of the blockade only the companies built under the English model resisted.Thank you very much.
