Seminar with Ross Finnie on the Earnings of Canadian University Graduates
October 9, 2015 | By Public Policy Admin |
Ross Finnie is a Full Professor in the Graduate School of Public and International Affairs at the University of Ottawa, after holding positions at Laval, Carleton and Queen’s Universities. He is also the Director of the Education Policy Research Initiative (EPRI), a national level research organisation based at the University of Ottawa, a Research Fellow of the C.D. Howe Institute, a member of the Canadian Labour and Skills Researcher Network, and a member of Statistics Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Postsecondary Education Statistics
His seminar will discuss the construction of a new and unique dataset which links administrative data on students who graduated from the University of Ottawa from 1998 through 2010 with Canadian tax record data. This research has yielded some interesting and important patterns of earnings across areas of study and how these compare across cohorts, as well as male-female differences. This kind of analysis should be valuable to young people making schooling choices, for individual Higher Education institutions and systems making program decisions, and for policy makers concerned with skills and skill shortages.
