Global Affairs Canada winners from L to R : Gaurav Sharma, Sophia Wong, Michael Machum.
While studying foreign investment into Canada, a group of Economics graduate students discovered that Canada’s ability to attract foreign capital had been on a steady decline since the mid-1980s.
That realization, and their recommendations to reverse it, was presented in a proposal entitled, “Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment into Canada: A Data-driven Approach.”
Their proposal was chosen as one of five finalists in the “International Policy Ideas Challenge”, hosted by Global Affairs Canada. The students won $3,000 each and are invited to write a policy brief about their research.
