(June 3 2018) Ross Finnie, Richard Mueller and Arthur Sweetman invite you to attend EPRI’s Annual Meeting at the CEA conference in Montreal
The EPRI meeting will follow the final EPRI “policy panel” session, which will focus on the release by Statistics Canada of the Education Longitudinal Linkage Platform (ELLP), which links PSE administrative data for all PSE students at all PSE institutions in each province on a year by year basis to individuals’ tax files. The ELLP will be much like the PSE-tax linked datasets EPRI has been working with the last few years on a pilot project basis (see http://www.epri.ca/tax-linkage).
Check the EPRI program here
This is a great chance to learn about the potential for EPRI and EPRI’s Research Fellows to be involved in the use of the ELLP both at the national level and potentially at any regional research hubs that are established.
Please RSVP to John Sergeant (jsergeant@irpe-epri.ca) and Michael Dubois (mdubois@irpe-epri.ca) of EPRI if you think you may be attending.
