Download or read book Can the Canada-U.S. ICT Investment Gap be a Measurement Issue? written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011, business sector investment per worker in information and communications technology (ICT) in Canada was only 57.8 per cent of the U.S. level, indicating an ICT investment per worker gap of 42.2 percentage points. Numerous explanations have been advanced to explain this gap, one of which is that the ICT investment data from Statistics Canada and the Bureau of Economic Analysis are not strictly comparable. The primary focus of this report is to analyze that hypothesis. We compare the methodology used to measure ICT investment in Canada and the United States and find that issues related to measurement account for approximately 4 percentage points (10 per cent) of the gap. Although software investment has been responsible for 90 per cent of the gap in recent years, seven out of 17 industries in Canada actually had greater investment per worker levels than the United States in both total ICT and software. A small number of ICT-intensive industries has been responsible for a substantial part of the gap. In particular, information and cultural industries accounted for 39.1 per cent of the total gap. This supports the conclusion that the Canada-U.S. ICT investment per worker gap is largely the result of industry-specific factors which affect software investment.

Download or read book Explaining Industry Differences in IT Investment Per Worker Between Canada and the United States, 2002-2013 written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2013, Canadian firms invested only about one half as much per worker in information and communications technologies (ICT) compared to their US counterparts. Many studies have shown that lower ICT investment per worker in Canada compared to the United States is responsible for weaker productivity growth in Canada. In the past, attention has been focused on the aggregate gap, but 49.8 per cent of lower business sector IT investment in Canada relative to the United States in 2013 was explained by two industries: information and cultural industries and professional, scientific and technical services, which accounted for only 13.0 per cent of employment (IT investment is composed of computers and software investment, while ICT investment is composed of computers, communications, and software investment). The main objective of this report is to shed light on the possible reasons for the gap in these sectors even though other industries contributing to the gap are also analyzed. A number of explanations will be examined, including data measurement and comparability issues stemming from methodological differences between statistical agencies in Canada and the United States, and differences in potential explanatory variables of IT investment, such as human capital, taxation, profits, firm creation rates, industrial structure, and regulation, among others. This report finds that software investment in information and cultural industries and professional, scientific and technical services is responsible for 45.9 per cent of the total IT investment per worker gap between Canada and the United States. The report also finds that measurement issues likely account for a significant share of the software investment gap in professional, scientific and technical services, and subsequently, account for a large share of the total IT investment per worker gap. Other explanations, such as human capital, regulation, firm size, managerial education, and labour compensation likely play a smaller role in this industry. In contrast, measurement issues likely account for much less of the information and cultural industries software gap between Canada and the United States, meaning that explanations such as human capital, managerial education, labour compensation and firm size, are more likely to play a larger role in this industry.

Book excerpt: Growth in labour productivity determines growth in wages (and therefore living standards) in the long-run. Growth in information and communications technology (ICT) investment hastens the pace of labour productivity growth and, consequently, it affects the development of wages and living standards. This report, which is based on the updating of the Centre for the Study of Living Standards (CSLS) ICT database for 2011, investigates the Canada-U.S. ICT gap for the business sector over the between 1987 and 2011, with special attention paid to the 2000-2011 period. We found that the Canada-U.S. ICT gap narrowed in 2011 across all its measures including ICT investment per worker, ICT capital stock per worker, ICT investment as a share of nominal business sector GDP, and ICT investment as a share of total fixed, non-residential business sector investment. Most significantly, the ICT investment per worker gap was 42.2 per cent in 2011, down 3.1 percentage points lower from 46.5 per cent in 2010. Canada's relative success was the result of stronger nominal ICT investment in 2011 compared to the United States, and an appreciation of our purchasing power parity (PPP) in machinery and equipment (M & E).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In terms of the third category of factors, the evidence indicates that differences in the definition of ICT assets by statistical agencies do not explain the ICT investment intensity differences between Canada and the United States. [...] Equally, the marginal effective tax rate on ICT assets in 2005 is similar in Canada and the United States so therefore cannot account for current differences in ICT investment although, in the past, tax rates on ICT assets were somewhat higher in Canada than in the United States and may have played some role in explaining the gap. [...] ICT investment as a share of GDP is determined by both the overall share of investment in GDP and the share of ICT in total investment. [...] Simply put, had Canada and the United States had equal levels of ICT investment per worker (or as a share of GDP) in 1987 and all else remained the same, the deflator growth pattern in Chart 2 implies that Canada should have a higher real level of ICT investment per worker (or as a share of GDP) than the United States in 2004. [...] Chart 15 shows the ICT investment gap between Canada and the United States on the basis of ICT investment per worker, ICT capital stock per worker, ICT investment as a share of business sector GDP, and ICT investment as a share of total business sector non- residential investment.

Book excerpt: The fall in nominal ICT investment in Canada, combined with the increase in the United States, resulted in an 8.5 percentage point fall in the ICT investment per worker in Canada from 59.6 per cent of that of the US business sector in 2008 to 51.1 per cent in 2013. [...] ICT Investment Trends in Canada and the United States and the Canada- U. S. ICT Investment Gap in the Business Sector 26 A. ICT Investment in Canada and the United States 26 i. Total Nominal ICT Investment Growth 26 ii. [...] Developments in ICT investment in 2013: In 2013, nominal ICT investment in the total economy in Canada rose 0.5 per cent to $40.6 billion from $40.4 billion in 2012, down from increases of 4.6 per cent in 2011 and 1.0 per cent in 2012. [...] The absolute fall in nominal ICT investment in the Canadian business sector, combined with the rise in the United States, as well as the worse US employment performance, resulted in nominal ICT per worker in Canada falling 8.5 percentage points from 59.6 per cent of that of the US business sector in 2008 to 51.1 per cent in 2013. [...] Hence, the slowdown in real ICT investment growth in 2013 was caused by declining growth in computer and communication equipment ICT investment: the contribution of computers and communication equipment to real total ICT investment growth in 2013 was lower than in previous years and more than offset the increased contribution of software ICT investment to real total ICT investment, (Chart A3.22).

Book excerpt: In terms of the comparison of the level of nominal ICT investment per worker in a common currency (adjusted for differences in purchasing power) between Canada and the United States, the slower growth in nominal ICT investment per worker in Canada translated into a fall in the ratio of ICT investment per worker in Canada to 62.1 per cent of that in the United States in 2008 from 62.5 per cent in [...] ICT Investment in Canada and the United States A. Nominal ICT Investment Growth Nominal ICT investment growth in the business sector in Canada in 2008 surpassed that in the United States: 6.2 per cent versus 4.4 per cent (Chart 1 and Table 1). [...] In terms of the three ICT investment components, nominal growth in Canada in 2008 exceeded that in the United States for communications equipment (16.8 per cent versus 3.0 per cent) and for software (11.3 per cent versus 7.5 per cent). [...] As the rate of growth of nominal ICT investment per worker was similar in the two countries (1.3 per cent per year in Canada versus 1.0 per cent in the United States), this differential reflected the greater fall in ICT prices in Canada (6.2 per cent versus 3.5 per cent) Chart 5: Growth of Real ICT Investment per Worker in Business Sector,. [...] There are three ways to quantify this gap: 1) ICT per investment per worker in Canada relative to that in the United States, calculated in a common currency with the appropriate purchasing power parities; 2) the ICT investment share of GDP in Canada as a proportion of that in the United States; and 3) the ICT investment share of total investment as a proportion of that in the United States.
