Determinants of honeybee hive survival and its implications for urban biodiversity in Toronto and Montreal
Linking quality of life and sustainability in Canadian cities
An exploratory analysis of the negative environmental impacts of pandemic tourism on Canadian destinations
The closure of national borders during the COVID-19 pandemic triggered domestic tourism travel demand to non-urban destinations. We show that this shift led to negative environmental impacts that we characterize in this paper for Canadian destinations. Based on a review of Canadian media content published during the pandemic, a total of 194 articles were identified, 22 of which reported 83 negative environmental impacts for 19 destinations. We ob…
Urban Sustainability Indicators from a Regional Perspective
Telecommuting and sustainable travel
Existing research has concluded that shares of telecommuting are low but stable, increase with distance from the workplace and that telecommuting may reduce commuting-related travel. Its effect on work and non-work travel are subject to rebound effects and, thus, still debated. Additionally, telecommuting does not necessarily occur entirely at home. The paper studies telecommuting’s potential as a sustainable mobility tool in Canada to reduce ove…
Gas Price Variations and Urban Sprawl
We conduct a multivariate analysis of the potential impact of higher gas prices on urban sprawl in the twelve largest Canadian Metropolitan Areas for the period 1986–2006. Controlling for variables such as income and population, we show that higher gasoline prices have significantly reduced urban sprawl. On average, a 1% increase in gas prices has caused a 0.32% increase in the population living in the inner city and a 0.60% decrease in low-densi…

Voters’ Preferences Regarding Municipal Consolidation
We use the results of the 2004 Quebec referenda on the mergers of municipalities to analyze the determinants of citizen preferences regarding municipal consolidation and fragmentation. The core hypotheses of our empirical model are generated from the economic theory of optimal jurisdictional size. Holding constant the influences of language and of a unit’s share of the merged population, we find voters are more likely to support de-merger when th…
Food Prices and the Timing of Welfare Payments
This is a study of the relationship between the timing of social welfare payments and the price of food for one neighbourhood in Montreal. Using prices of 31 grocery products over 26 weeks and across seven stores, we obtain two main results. First, we show that the availability of social welfare resources affects grocery prices throughout the month. Second, average grocery prices are lowest during cheque-receipt week and rise by 6.8 percent to 11…
