Adam Lavecchia, of McMaster University’s Department of Economics, has been honoured with the Robert Mundell Prize at the 2025 meetings of the Canadian Economics Association.
The $2,000 prize is awarded for the best paper by a young researcher published in the Canadian Journal of Economics in the previous two calendar years.
Lavecchia accessed Statistics Canada microdata at the Carleton, Ottawa-Outaouais, Toronto and McMaster Research Data Centres (RDCs) for work on his paper “Family-level responses to Introduction of Tax-Free Savings Accounts.”
“I feel honoured to be recognized for this by my peers. It’s never something I considered when starting to work on that paper several years ago. I learned a lot from working on the project, and joining the distinguished previous winners of this prize is an amazing bonus!” says Lavecchia.
He used the Survey of Financial Security and the Longitudinal Administrative Databank for this project.
“Datasets like these are important to my work and those of many other researchers in Canada and around the world. I am grateful to Statistics Canada, SSHRC and the CRDCN’s other partners,” he says.
You can read the award-winning paper on the Canadian Journal of Economics website.
