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 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 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.

It uses a gravity model to measure the link between outward Canadian FDI and Canadian exports on a bilateral basis to 35 countries over the 1970-1996 period. The paper begins with a literature review. It then provides a description of the data, including a discussion of the aggregate data as well as the industrial distribution of Canada's trade and FDI. It examines the theoretical links between trade and FDI and provides empirical estimates of these links. Finally, it examines the possible welfare effects of outward FDI.

Book Synopsis Infrastructure Politique Nationale Et Investissement Étranger Direct by : Steven Globerman
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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general purpose of this study is to examine how restructuring has affected company performance in Canada. The following matters are studied: the general and specific factors that have fuelled restructuring in Canadian firms; the general pattern of restructuring practices and the forms of restructuring; reasons for successful restructuring in some companies, and whether Canadian firms can learn from such experience; and the effects of restructuring on company profitability, productivity, and employment. Basic data for the study were compiled from an interview survey of individual companies. Types of restructuring examined include downsizing, total quality management, re- engineering, and outsourcing. The concluding section discusses whether corporate restructuring is successful and why, and shows what role government programs have played in corporate restructuring in Canada.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first chapter of this document looks briefly at some of the factors underlying recent patterns of foreign investment. The next chapter of the paper discusses Industry Canada (IC) research that pertains to the role of foreign direct investment and the factors underlying recent investment trends. Chapter 3 considers the policy implications of the IC research in the context of Canada's role as both a significant host and an important source of foreign investment. In addition to examining the need for government intervention in foreign investment markets, this section considers the implications of the studies' findings for general government policy. Chapter 4 looks at foreign investment policy in an international context. The IC studies that examine foreign investment barriers and that have something to say about how to improve the international environment for foreign investment are discussed in this section. The paper's conclusions are presented in chapter 5.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to identify and assess how closer economic integration between Canada and the United States as manifested in the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) may have affected bilateral migration flows between the two countries. The 2nd section provides a brief theoretical overview of the linkages between trade liberalisation and labour markets that, in turn, imply linkages with incentives to migrate. Section 3 discusses recent legislative changes affecting the incentives and abilities of Canadians to migrate to the United States, and briefly considers the associated welfare implications for Canada. Section 4 presents and evaluates data on bilateral migration patterns, especially temporary migration under the NAFTA. Section 5 briefly addresses the policy implications of temporary migration under the NAFTA.

Book Synopsis Effects of the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement on Interprovincial Trade by : John F. Helliwell
Download or read book Effects of the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement on Interprovincial Trade written by John F. Helliwell and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 1999 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to examine the impact of the Free-Trade Agreement (FTA) on interprovincial trade. It first reviews some previous work on the effects of trading blocs on trade volumes. Section 3 contains aggregate evidence about the links between post-FTA movements in interprovincial trade and province-state trade. Section 4 analyzes new industry-level data designed to show whether the post-FTA changes in trade mix are consistent with interprovincial trade creation, trade diversion, or neither. Finally, Section 5 summarizes the two strands of evidence and sets some objectives for future research.
