The
Canada-United States Trade Center (CUSTAC)
CUSTAC was established in 1988 to conduct applied research on economic
interactions and related issues between Canada and the United States
and their respective international business partners. Special attention
is given to the inter-country movements of commodities, services,
technology, people, information, and capital. Additionally, the
Center engages in policy-oriented studies on international trade
and industry strategy, on the dynamics of cross-border regions,
and on the emergence of a Western Hemisphere free trade area. The
Center also provides various business-support services for small
establishments located within the cross-border region. These missions
of the Center provide a variety of opportunities for graduate-student
research.
