Bio
Vincent Thivierge is a PhD student in the Economics and Environmental Science (EES) emphasis. Vincent holds an honors BBA degree in Applied Economics from HEC Montréal and an MA in Economics from the Vancouver School of Economics at the University of British Columbia. Before entering the PhD program, he has worked for various economic research institutes in Canada, such as the C.D. Howe Institute and Canada’s Ecofiscal Commission.

Vincent’s past research has explored the effects of Canadian carbon pricing on diverse topics, such as household gasoline consumption, industry competitiveness, and the distributional impacts for households.

Research conducted by Vincent has also looked at oil and gas well liabilities in Canada and the impact of local regulations on housing prices.

When not thinking about environmental economics, Vincent is busy working with his friends on the restoration of their 40-foot vintage sloop, or planning his next bike-touring trip.
