Belzile considers himself as an economist with a libertarian tendency; in fact, his personal blog is called "Libertarian Economist". He has been highly influenced by Gérard Bélanger (Université Laval) and Jean-Luc Migué (ÉNAP) as well as Frédérick Bastiat, Alexis de Tocqueville, Mançur Olson, Ronald Coase, James Buchanan, and Gordon Tullock. According to him, individual freedom is the most fundamental value to preserve.
