This book was released on 2013 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Council of Canadian Academies (the Council) has, since 2006, completed seven expert panel assessments analyzing in great depth Canada's performance in science and technology (S&T) and innovation. This document synthesizes the main findings of that work, from which two main conclusions emerge: Canadian academic research, overall, is strong and well regarded internationally; Canadian business innovation, by contrast, is weak by international standards, and this is the primary cause of Canada's poor productivity growth"--Executive summary.

Download or read book The paradox of market-oriented public policy and poor productivity growth in Canada written by and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gap in labour productivity growth rates is thus not only the result of unusual developments in Canada, as evidenced by the decline in productivity elasticity and below-average productivity growth since 2000, but also largely a consequence of the atypical behaviour of the U. S. economy, as evidenced by its high productivity elasticity since 2000. [...] This growth-accounting exercise suggests that the lacklustre productivity performance of Canada since 2000 relative to the 1973-2000 period cannot be attributed to a single factor, but rather is the result of slower growth in both capital services intensity and MFP, with the latter accounting for the lion's share of the decline. [...] The reallocation growth effect is the sum of the product of the absolute change in the share of hours worked and the absolute change in the labour productivity level for each of the i sectors. [...] The CSLS has calculated the within-sector effect, the reallocation level effect, the reallocation growth effect (also known as the Baumol effect or the interaction effect), the total reallocation effect (the sum of the productivity level and growth effects), and the total sector contribution related to aggregate (business sector) labour productivity growth for 12 sectors for the 1961-2007 period a [...] The churn measure is the sum of the absolute values changes in share of total hours worked or the sum of the absolute values of the reallocation effect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses productivity trends in Canada vis-a-vis the United States from two perspectives. The first one is based on estimates of total factor productivity. The second one decomposes productivity growth into two sources: investment-specific technical change, associated with improvements in the quality of the capital stock, and neutral technical change, associated with the organization of productive activities. The results indicate that investment-specific technical change is the major underlying cause of the pickup in productivity in Canada and the narrowing of the productivity gap with the United States.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper adds to the literature on the relationship between information technology (IT) and productivity growth in four ways. First, in order to establish a meaningful comparison between Canada & the United States in terms of IT, it discusses the ways IT is currently reflected in the statistical infrastructure of the existing statistical systems. Second, using a comparable data set, it provides a comprehensive investigation on the role of IT in Canada-US output growth, inputs growth, & productivity growth. Third, it examines how IT-producing & IT-using industries contributed to the acceleration of aggregate multifactor productivity performance in the Canada-US productivity revival in the 1990s. The results suggest that different forces have contributed to the recent productivity revival in the two countries. Finally, the paper traces the sources of the difference between Canada & the US in the contribution of IT to the productivity revival at both the aggregate & industry level. Where the price behaviour appears substantially different, the paper attempts to identify the potential source of the difference and to make a structured guess on what the Canada-US productivity performance would be had the two countries shared similar price series.

It is perhaps a sign of the times that economic weapons such as sanctions seem to be as powerful as or more so than tanks. International applications and examples of economic progress are invaluable in a troubled world with economic booms bursting like so many penny balloons. Globalisation, outstanding and jobless recoveries present economic issues of concern to millions.

Download or read book Whatever Happened to Canada-United States Economic Growth and Productivity Performance in the Information Age? written by Tarek M. Harchaoui and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Productivity growth in the U.S. economy jumped during the second half of the 1990s, a resurgence that the literature linked to information technology use. We contribute to this debate in two ways. First, using the most comparable Canadian and U.S. data available, we quantify in a comprehensive way the contributions of information technology to output, capital input, and productivity performance. Second, we examine the extent to which information technology producing and information technology-using industries have contributed to the aggregate multifactor productivity revival. Our results suggest that while information technology is indeed the story in the U.S. productivity revival, it is only part of it in the Canadian context. The U.S. labour productivity revival is primarily attributable to information technology capital deepening and multifactor productivity gains of information technology-producing industries, a finding that somewhat contrasts with the common U.S. wisdom. The Canadian evidence points towards the importance of multifactor productivity gains in information technology-using industries as a major source of productivity acceleration. These results stand even after a 'correction' for the methodological differences in the measurement of information technology prices at the industry level, thereby indicating important differences in the economic structures between the two countries.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper looks at the future for productivity growth in Canada. Chapter 2 discusses theory and measurement issues. Two themes are covered: the link between productivity and living standards; the relationship between theory and measurement in light of the widespread use of the concept of multifactor productivity. Chapter 3 discusses the empirical literature on the determinants or drivers of productivity growth including investment, education and training, innovation, diffusion, and the broader context in which productivity growth is set. Chapter 4 deals with the prospects for future productivity growth in Canada. Chapter 5 concludes with a discussion of how traditional economic policies should account for potential productivity effects.

Download or read book Unraveling the Productivity Growth Slowdown in the U.S., Canada and Japan written by Catherine J. Morrison and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measures of productivity growth typically include in the Productivity "residual" the impacts of subequilibrium from fixity of factors, costs of adjustment, returns to scale and markups. This paper proposes a general two part framework for adjusting the residual measure to take these impacts into account. Errors computing the weights on output and quasi-fixed input growth in traditional measures are first corrected for both primal- and Cost-side measures. Then the deviation of revenues from costs is used to decompose the full primal measure to identify the differential influences of technical change, utilization fluctuations, scale economies and price margins. Use of the framework is illustrated empirically for the U.S., Japanese and Canadian manufacturing sectors, using an econometric model that allows explicit incorporation and measurement of these influences. The adjusted measures show that a significant amount of cyclical and secular change in measured productivity growth can be attributed to production characteristics other than technical change, particularly scale economies
