The CETC is the most important conference in economic theory in Canada, and will be hosted by Concordia's Department of Economics for the second time in nine years.
Each year, most of the top economic theorists based in Canada (e.g., Mike Peters, Arthur Robson, Martin Osborne, Li Hao) participate in the conference. In recent years, it has also garnered international prestige by attracting top researchers, new and established, from non-Canadian universities.
