PEF at the Canadian Economics Association meetings
The Progressive Economics Forum holds its annual meetings at the Canadian Economics Association (CEA) conference, which we thank for its financial support. As usual, PEF is hosting a number of thought-provoking sessions over the three days of the conference (see below). Many thanks to PEF’s CEA conference coordinator, Ian Hudson, for putting together a stellar program.
The PEF social will take place on May 31 evening. We have reserved a table for 20 people at the Craft Beer Market- Toronto (1 Adelaide St E Toronto, ON) on Friday, May 31, 2024 at 7:30 pm. This place is about a 15 minute walk from Toronto Metropolitan University. The reservation is under Ian Hudson’s name.
