Biography

Olivier Jacques is an assistant professor in the Department of Management, Evaluation and Health Policy at the University of Montreal. He received his PhD from the Department of Political Science at McGill University. His research has three main axes. The first focuses on the consequences of fiscal austerity for politics and for public policy. The second examines the incentives for governments to propose public policies that are beneficial in the long term, particularly in public health. His third line of research examines citizens' preferences for fiscal policies, including fiscal austerity, willingness to pay taxes, and redistribution. He has also explored the relationship between social policies, income inequalities and population health.
