Equalization: A little light reading

For those of you who just can’t get enough of the whole equalization debate, you’ll be pleased to hear that the editors at the Institute for Research on Public Policy have helpfully pointed us to a few papers they’ve published over the last few years on this topic, all of them written by federal-provincial relationship guru Tom Courchene:

Energy prices, equalization and federalism

Resource Revenues and Equalization: Five-Province vs. National-Average Standards, Alternatives to the Representative Tax System, and Revenue-Sharing Pools

Vertical and Horizontal Fiscal Imbalances: An Ontario Perspective

Have fun!
