In memory of Pierre Lasserre

 

It is with considerable sadness that we announce the death of our colleague and dear friend Pierre Lasserre. Pierre died in a skiing accident this Monday, April 10th at the Massif du Mont Blanc in France.

 

A CIRANO Fellow, Pierre was passionate about the environment and the economic development of natural resources. His research included studies about investment and real options, and the role of institutions in economic life. All of us - colleagues, students and friends - who have had the opportunity to work with him will miss his kindness and compassion.

 

Our most sincere thoughts go to his wife, children and family.
