2017-2018 figures
Global Experience Panel
Directed by Professors Christian Vandenberghe, Yany Grégoire and Michel Tremblay
The Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Quebec government allocated $2 million to set up a panel with over 10,000 volunteer participants. The infrastructure-related research program is intended to test innovative models bringing together management practices, work attitudes, individual and team performance, and consumer responses. The panel will make it possible to conduct multi-level longitudinal studies with several different time frames and data sources (employees, supervisors, consumers).
Funding for the Canada Research Chair in Risk Management
Directed by Professor Georges Dionne
The Canada Research Chair in Risk Management received $1.9 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation and the Quebec government to support its research into high-frequency trading (HFT), liquidity risks in financial assets and asymmetric information in bank securitization.
Canada Research Chair in Supply Chain Analytics
Directed by Professor Yossiri Adulyasak
The analysis of big data and real-time decision making are important factors in the revolution in the supply chain industry. The supply chain analytics research program will focus on transforming the planning and execution processes through scientific advances that make use of operations research and machine learning techniques and strive to bridge the gap between academics and practitioners.
Canada Research Chair in Macro Finance
Directed by Professor Alexandre Jeanneret
It has become important to understand how economic shocks are transmitted across borders and how they impact investors, because of the increasingly globalized financial sector and the growing interconnectedness of world financial markets. By studying the relationship between asset prices and economic activity, the Chair in Macro Finance will help us better understand global capital markets.
