국문 초록

This paper examines the economic policies and performance of the Canadian economy under Stephen Harper's Conservative government from 2006 to 2015. It provides a comprehensive overview of the fiscal and monetary measures implemented during this period, as well as the impact of global events like the 2008 financial crisis on Canada's economic recovery. The analysis highlights Harper's focus on tax cuts, reduced government spending, and trade promotion. The findings show a mixed performance, with some successes in stabilizing the economy post-crisis, but challenges in sustaining growth in later years. The paper concludes by asking questions relevant for comparing economic outcomes under the Harper Conservatives with those under subsequent Liberal governments.
