History
The British Columbia Institute for Economic Policy Analysis was established by the Economic Policy Analysis Institute of British Columbia Act of the Legislature and assented to June 20, 1974 (Statutes of British Columbia 1974, chapter 28). This legislation established an endowment fund of $5 million for the Institute, providing it with a budget of $400,000. A Board of Directors was appointed in March 1975 to draft and adopt by-laws. Professor Walter Young was appointed Chairman of the Board and in May 1975 Mason Gaffney was appointed Executive Director of the Institute. The function of the Institute, as given in section 3.2 of the Act, was to "institute and carry out research and analytical programmes, provide training, teaching and consulting services; and disseminate information, respecting Crown lands, public finance, industrial organization, and employment in the Province." On April 15, 1976, Bill 14, the Economic Policy Analysis Institute of British Columbia Repeal Act received assent (Statutes of British Columbia 1976, chapter 16) and the Institute's activities were terminated as of October 1, 1976.
