This book was released on 2000 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data on multifactor productivity (MFP) growth and labour productivity growth produced by Statistics Canada and the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics send mixed signals regarding the comparative evolution of living standards in the two countries. Since the early 1980s, Statistics Canada's MFP growth measures for the business sector indicate that the Canadian economy has out-performed the US economy while labour productivity data produce a reverse picture. This is the so-called Canada/US productivity paradox, investigated in this paper with an analysis of Canadian & US business sector productivity data since 1961. The analysis is used to determine whether business sector MFP growth estimates provided by Statistics Canada are consistent over time and comparable to US estimates. The analysis identifies three significant problems with Statistics Canada methodology for estimating MFP growth, and methodological changes are proposed to address these problems.

Book Synopsis Politique Sociale Et Croissance de la Productivité by : Richard G. Harris
Download or read book Politique Sociale Et Croissance de la Productivité written by Richard G. Harris and published by Canadian Museum of Civilization/Musee Canadien Des Civilisations. This book was released on 2002 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a survey of the evidence and debate on the social determinants of productivity in the context of the Canadian productivity debate. The purpose of the paper is to try to make sense of the seemingly contradictory pieces of theory and evidence linking social policy to economic growth. Essentially the paper looks at 4 areas of research: the growth and inequality debate; the small but growing literature on the policy determinants of economic growth; an examination of 2 specific social policies (education and health); the literature on major technological change, wage inequality and the new economy. To provide the context for this discussion, the paper also includes some background material on economic growth, productivity, and social policy in OECD countries.
Book Synopsis Lien Entre L'innovation Et la Productivité Dans Les Industries Manufacturières by : Wulong Gu
Download or read book Lien Entre L'innovation Et la Productivité Dans Les Industries Manufacturières written by Wulong Gu and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper argues that the lack of evidence for a strong link between innovation & productivity in Canada is due to incomplete measures of innovation. The authors first construct a comprehensive measure of innovation that models innovation as an unobservable latent variable that underlies four indicators: research & development propensity, measured as a percentage of output; patents per worker; technology adoption, measured as real investment in machinery & equipment; and skill intensity, measured as the employment share of workers with a university education. The authors then examine the relationship between innovation & productivity in 14 Canadian manufacturing industries over 1980-1997 using the new measure. The results also show that the length of time it takes for innovation to have a positive & significant impact on productivity differs across industries.

Book Synopsis Déterminants Économiques de L'innovation by : Randall Morck
Download or read book Déterminants Économiques de L'innovation written by Randall Morck and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 2001 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores what economists know about the economics of innovation. It identifies key empirical research on different aspects of what causes the pace of innovation to be faster or slower. A selective survey of empirical work on the determinants of innovation, guided by relevant economic theory, discusses the economics of information & its relation to innovation; the effects on the pace of innovation of the strength of intellectual property rights, firm size & market structure, geographic distribution of firms, corporate decision-making, national culture, financial systems, human capital accumulation, and checks on inequality; and whether government policy determines innovation.

Book Synopsis Commerce International, Le Commerce Interprovincial Et la Croissance Des Provinces Canadiennes by : Serge Coulombe
Download or read book Commerce International, Le Commerce Interprovincial Et la Croissance Des Provinces Canadiennes written by Serge Coulombe and published by Canadian Museum of Civilization/Musee Canadien Des Civilisations. This book was released on 2003 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides an empirical analysis of the comparative evolution of interprovincial & international trade and their effects on regional growth for the Canadian provinces since 1981. It first establishes the trend in the relationship between the ratios of interprovincial & international trade to gross domestic product, revealing a sharp break that occurred around 1991. The analysis casts doubt on the pure diversion model often used in trade modelling. The second part uses a conditional convergence-growth model to estimate the respective long-run effects of interprovincial & international trade on Canadian regional economies, specifically in relation to productivity, relative gross domestic product per capita, and job creation. The final chapter discusses implications of the results for regional economies & economic policy issues.

Download or read book Infrastructure Politique Nationale Et Investissement Étranger Direct written by Steven Globerman and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 2002 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely argued that a country's economic performance over time is determined to a great extent by its political, institutional, and legal environment. We refer to these public institutions and policies as the national political infrastructure (NPI) of a country. This report focusses on the linkage between measures of NPI and foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. Specifically, it tests the hypothesis that FDI will be attracted to regions characterized by more favourable NPIs. It also argues that countries with more favourable NPIs will create more domestic multinational enterprises, and they will therefore see more capital outflows, so that the net effect on capital flows may be uncertain. The study employs 2 sets of FDI data, both covering the period 1995-1997. The 1st set measures total FDI inflows and outflows to and from a sample of 144 developed and developing countries. The 2nd set uses United States Bureau of Economic Analysis data to measure the inflows of U.S. FDI to these same countries.

Book Synopsis Propension À la R-D Et Productivité Dans Les Entreprises Sous Contrôle Étranger Au Canada by : Jianmin Tang
Download or read book Propension À la R-D Et Productivité Dans Les Entreprises Sous Contrôle Étranger Au Canada written by Jianmin Tang and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 2001 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les auteurs de l'étude examinent la propension à la R-D des entreprises sous contrôle canadien et des entreprises sous contrôle étranger au Canada à l'aide de données au niveau de l'entreprise. Les résultats empiriques indiquent qu'après avoir neutralisé les effets d'autres facteurs, les entreprises sous contrôle étranger au Canada dépensent sensiblement moins en R-D que les entreprises sous contrôle canadien. Cependant, la propension à la R-D des entreprises sous contrôle étranger a augmenté au même rythme que celle des entreprises sous contrôle canadien de 1985 à 1994. Au sein des deux groupes, la propension à la R-D est plus élevée dans les entreprises de haute technologie et celles qui sont orientées vers l'exportation, mais plus faible dans les entreprises de taille moyenne et les grandes entreprises. En outre, l'étude révèle que les entreprises sous contrôle étranger adoptent activement les technologies de pointe (et d'autres éléments d'actif incorporels) de leur société mère. Cela explique peut-être pourquoi les entreprises sous contrôle étranger sont plus productives que les entreprises sous contrôle canadien.

Book Synopsis Répercussions Sectorielles de L'application Du Protocole de Kyoto by : Randall Wigle
Download or read book Répercussions Sectorielles de L'application Du Protocole de Kyoto written by Randall Wigle and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 2001 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper looks at Canada's compliance with its Kyoto Protocol obligations, focussing on 2 questions: What sectors are likely to be the hardest hit (and, conversely, which might benefit) from various modalities of compliance? How do the costs of compliance change when the domestic implementation plan exempts some sectors? The analysis is conducted using a simulation model of the world economy. Specifically, a static Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model based on the Global Trade Analysis Project data is used. The analysis identifies 31 sectors and 11 regions. The study first looks at 2 core cost-effective policy approaches (national and global carbon permit trading) by way of placing the model's results in the context of other existing CGE carbon models.
Book Synopsis Accounting for Culture by : Caroline Andrew
Download or read book Accounting for Culture written by Caroline Andrew and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2005-03-30 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers in the cultural sector argue that Canadian cultural policy is at a crossroads: that the environment for cultural policy-making has evolved substantially and that traditional rationales for state intervention no longer apply. The concept of cultural citizenship is a relative newcomer to the cultural policy landscape, and offers a potentially compelling alternative rationale for government intervention in the cultural sector. Likewise, the articulation and use of cultural indicators and of governance concepts are also new arrivals, emerging as potentially powerful tools for policy and program development. Accounting for Culture is a unique collection of essays from leading Canadian and international scholars that critically examines cultural citizenship, cultural indicators, and governance in the context of evolving cultural practices and cultural policy-making. It will be of great interest to scholars of cultural policy, communications, cultural studies, and public administration alike.
Book Synopsis Contemporary Criminological Issues by : Carolyn Côté-Lussier

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary Criminological Issues tackles some of today’s most pressing social issues, from the criminalization of Indigenous peoples to interpersonal violence, border control, and armed conflicts. This book advances cutting-edge theories and methods, with the aim of moving beyond the scholarship that reproduces insecurity and exclusion. The breadth of approaches encompasses much of the current critical criminological scholarship, serving as a counterpoint to the growth of managerial and administrative criminologies and the rise of explicitly exclusionary and punitive state policies and practices with respect to ‘crime’ and ‘security.’ This edited collection featuring two books, one in English and one in French, includes important contributions to knowledge and public policy by eminent experts and emerging scholars. This book is published in English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work looks at the surge of Bretons who left their homes in Western France in the latter half of the 19th century to live and work in Paris. Portrayed as backward, ignorant peasants they found no welcome until after WWII. Moch positions her work within immigration theory, connecting migration studies to theories about state projects of assimilation and about cultures of inclusion and exclusion.
