About the JDI

The John Deutsch Institute for the Study of Economic Policy (JDI) was founded in 1976 to honour the memory of John Deutsch, renowned Canadian economist, Queen’s alumnus, public servant, and former Principal of Queen’s University.  Our central purpose is to enable and promote academic research that informs policy making. The JDI focuses on quantitative research in economics, political science, public policy, and related areas that is relevant for Canadian policy.

The JDI builds on a long tradition of interest and participation by Queen’s economists and other scholars in national policy issues in Canada, and its approach ensures a continuing emphasis on independent and quality of research, analysis and training.
