Paul Beaudry is one of the most prominent macroeconomists in Canada. He has made significant contributions to our understanding of the two important phenomena that macroeconomics addresses: business cycles and economic growth. His theoretical work on contact theory and his empirical work on labour markets have highlighted the role that labour and credit contracts play in determining the impact of business cycles. His work in monetary economics has shown how uncertainty about monetary policy adversely effects economics growth. His work on growth has improved our understanding of the worsening income distribution within developed societies as well as across the world.
