He will present, “Religions in Europe: Revealing the impact of Reformation on economic development of early modern Europe.”

Productivity Partnership

The Productivity Partnership aims to engage researchers interested in studying Canada’s productivity challenge. The project is funded by a SSHRC Partnership Development Grant and awarded to a team of Canadian researchers.

The project’s goal is to increase the flow of existing knowledge (including data), and add to existing research capacity by bringing together thinkers from academia, public and private sectors, and funding their scholarly research.

The Partnership has funding available to support researchers in working with firm-level data, as well as attending related conferences in Canada or abroad. Moreover graduate students have the chance to work not just with their supervisor, but potentially network members, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, or researchers at Statistics Canada.

Join us in KTH 334 on July 30 at 12:30! This seminar is open to everyone, We hope to see you there!
