  • A Pervasive Economic Fallacy in Assessing the Cost of Public Funds

    Marcel BoyerARTICLECanadian Public Policy2022References: 2

    In the assessment of the cost of public funds, there is a pervasive economic fallacy that is frequently repeated in public policy circles: because the cost of borrowing is higher for a private-sector firm than it is for a public-sector firm, the cost of carrying out an activity (investment, production, distribution, provision of goods and services, and borrowing) will necessarily be lower ceteris paribus in the public sector than in the private s…

  • Competitive Market Value of Copyright in Music

    Marcel BoyerARTICLECanadian Public Policy2018

  • Concurrence spatiale et distorsions de localisation en information incomplète

The first objective is to verify empirically the proposition that past experience is a good predictor of risk by using data from a random sample consisting …

    This paper presents a review of the main characteristics of the Quebec Automobile Insurance Plan, with emphasis on both the compensation and the pricing of insurance.
