Stanley L. Winer
Canada Research Chair Professor in Public Policy
Professor, School of Public Policy and Administration and Department of Economics
Carleton University, Ottawa

Professor Winer's work combines traditional economic analysis with the study of collective choice mechanisms and political institutions, and explores the implications of the resulting frameworks for the positive and normative analysis of taxation, public expenditure and public policy generally. Recently funded projects include the study of the meaning, causes and consequences of variation in the degree of political competition in mature democracies over very long periods. He is the co-author of Democratic Choice and Taxation: A Theoretical and Empirical Analysis, Cambridge (1999), and he has published widely in international journals and collected volumes, including the Oxford Handbook of Political Economy (2006). Professor Winer has been a visiting professor at Carnegie-Mellon University, the University of Western Ontario, the People's University of China, Beijing, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Canada-Vietnam Financial Management Project, Hanoi, Duke University, and in 2008-2009 is a visiting professor (part-time) in the Department of Public Policy and Public Choice at the University of Eastern Piedmont.
