Doctoral essay wins top award from Emmett Hall Foundation

Congratulations to Daniel Tingskou, a PhD candidate in economics supervised by Michel Grignon, on winning the 2021 Jack Boan Student Essay Competition, sponsored by the Justice Emmett Hall Foundation, for his doctoral essay, “Income Splitting, Interprovincial Physician Migration in Canada, and Health Care Accessibility (PDF).”

Grignon describes the research as a promising study with obvious policy implications.

“If we can understand better what motivates physicians to set up practice in a given jurisdiction, we could certainly be better at managing health human resources.”
