Bank of Canada appoints academic Nicolas Vincent as non-executive deputy governor


The Bank of Canada has appointed HEC Montréal economics professor Nicolas Vincent to its governing council, where he will serve a two-year term as the central bank’s first non-executive deputy governor.

The governing council is responsible for setting Canadian interest rates and overseeing the bank’s financial system stability efforts. Mr. Vincent’s appointment brings the six-person group back to full strength, following the retirement of long-serving deputy governor Tim Lane in September. Mr. Vincent will start on March 13.

The non-executive role was created last year. Unlike the Governor, senior deputy governor and three other deputy governors, the position is part-time and has a shorter two-year term, with the possibility of a one-year extension.

When the central bank announced the change last year, it said that it was looking to bring “fresh and diverse perspectives” to the governing council, and that it would consider candidates from “a broad range of disciplines and backgrounds.” In the event, the bank has opted for an academic economist – a common background for deputy governors.

“I am delighted that Nicolas Vincent is joining the Bank’s Governing Council,” Governor Tiff Macklem said in a statement. “He is an accomplished scholar and teacher, with deep expertise in macro and microeconomic research in areas such as inflation and price dispersion, firm dynamics, inequality, house prices and household finance.”

Mr. Vincent teaches in the department of applied economics at HEC Montréal, the Université de Montréal’s business school. He is also co-chair of the business cycles and financial markets research group at CIRANO, a research centre that brings together researchers from across Montreal. He holds a PhD in economics from Northwestern University.

Mr. Vincent will join the bank at a pivotal moment. The Canadian economy is slowing in response to the bank’s aggressive interest rate hikes, but inflation remains far above the bank’s target. After raising rates seven times last year, bank officials have signalled they’re getting close to a pause. The next rate decision is on Jan. 25.

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
