David Foot

A biography and video excerpt of David Foot appears on the speakers.ca website. His "fee range" as a speaker is listed as $10,000+. How does his fee range compare with that of CFL player, "Pinball" Clemens, or fellow economist, Peter C. Newman? What does this tell you?

Foot's own curriculum vitae appears on the University of Toronto's web site. It lists his publications, his honours and awards, and other interesting bits of information.

Foot runs Footwork Consulting, Inc. An expanded version of his biography (with a printable Adobe Acrobat PDF version) as well as a mass of articles and other material appears there.

Boom, Bust & Echo, the book from which "Boomers and Other Cohorts" was taken, incited a great deal of interest from the economics community. One demographic study based on Boom, Bust & Echo appears in PDF format on the web site of the Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute.

The impact of Boom, Bust & Echo was felt not only in economics circles. This article on the web site of the Canadian Centre for Philanthropy looks at the impact of Foot and Stoffman's demographic study on Big Brothers and Sisters of Canada.

Agriculture, too, is an area affected by the topics in Boom, Bust & Echo, as evidenced in "Riding the Demographic Wave", an article on the Royal Bank website. What other areas do you think might be affected by demographics? Where could you look on the Internet to confirm this?

"In Step With The Millennium" is an interview with David Foot. Conducted by Investor Canada, it appears in both text and audio formats on the website of Footwork Consulting, Inc.

"The Time is Right: Voluntary Reduced Worktime and Workforce Demographics", another demographic article by Foot, is available in PDF format. Is this writing style consistent with "Boomers and Other Cohorts"? Would you contribute any difference to the absence of Daniel Stoffman?

"Turn Up the Economic Heat", an article Foot wrote for the Globe and Mail appears in PDF format. Do you feel you benefited from reading "Boomers and Other Cohorts" before reading this article?
