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.

Book Synopsis Modelling Links Between Canadian Trade and Foreign Direct Investment by : Walid Hejazi
Download or read book Modelling Links Between Canadian Trade and Foreign Direct Investment written by Walid Hejazi and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 1999 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper measures the impact of outward foreign direct investment (FDI) on Canadian exports. 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 Analyse Des Mécanismes de Règlement Des Différends Commerciaux Internationaux Et Conséquences Pour L'Accord Canadien Sur Le Commerce Intérieur by : E. Wayne Clendenning
Download or read book Analyse Des Mécanismes de Règlement Des Différends Commerciaux Internationaux Et Conséquences Pour L'Accord Canadien Sur Le Commerce Intérieur written by E. Wayne Clendenning and published by Industrie Canada c1997.. This book was released on 1997 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to provide an update of recent developments and changes to international and national dispute settlement mechanisms, as well as an analysis of the implications for the dispute settlement mechanism established under the Canadian Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT). The analysis includes the Australian constitutional approach for ensuring free trade within a federal state similar to Canada. The AIT mechanism has borrowed heavily from a number of other mechanisms and its further evolution will undoubtedly reflect the changes and improvements implemented in them. This study analyses the changes and their implications for the AIT mechanism; it also offers recommendations for improvements to the AIT mechanism, based on the changes to and experience with other national and international mechanisms
Book Synopsis Canadian Government Policies Toward Inward Foreign Direct Investment by : Steven Globerman
Download or read book Canadian Government Policies Toward Inward Foreign Direct Investment written by Steven Globerman and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 1998 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first section of this report identifies and discusses the range of policies that governments can implement to directly or indirectly influence inward foreign direct investment (FDI), as well as the behaviour of multinational companies in the host market. The following section sets out public policy criteria against which to evaluate the consequences of Canadian government policies toward inward FDI. The next section reviews the determinants of inward FDI, drawing upon the existing economic and international business literature. The subsequent two sections contain a broad overview of inward FDI patterns to Canada over the post-war period, with preliminary inferences about the influence of public policies on inward FDI flows, and discuss significant policy initiatives directed at influencing either the quantity of quality of inward FDI. These include the Foreign Investment Review Act, the Investment Canada Act, and the North American Free Trade Agreement. This is followed by a section that identifies Canadian government policies directed at restricting inward FDI at the sectoral level (financial services, oil and gas, communications). Welfare economics arguments for and against sectoral foreign ownership restrictions are considered. Original economic models of FDI for Canada are then discussed and case studies are presented of the consequences of foreign ownership and the impacts of foreign ownership policies on the three sectors mentioned above. The final section concludes the report with a summary and a set of policy recommendations.

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.

Book Synopsis Restructuration de L'industrie Canadienne by : Sunder Magun
Download or read book Restructuration de L'industrie Canadienne written by Sunder Magun and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 1998 with total page 104 pages. 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.
Book Synopsis Libéralisation des échanges et migration de travailleurs qualifiés by : Steven Globerman
Download or read book Libéralisation des échanges et migration de travailleurs qualifiés written by Steven Globerman and published by Industrie Canada. 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 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.
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.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years Canada has experienced an increase in patenting activities. This paper has 5 objectives: to investigate whether the recent surge is a global phenomenon or something unique to Canada, and to examine its causes; to examine Canada's inventive performance vis-à-vis that of other G-7 countries; to demonstrate the trend in the flow of patent applications to and from Canada; to understand international patenting activities; to identify the most innovative and dynamic industries within the Canadian manufacturing sector. Also looks at the pro-patent and the fertile technology hypotheses.
Book Synopsis Employment Performance in the Knowledge-based Economy by : Surendra Gera
Download or read book Employment Performance in the Knowledge-based Economy written by Surendra Gera and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 1996 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing consensus among academics and policy-makers that most industrialized economies are increasingly becoming "knowledge-based." Knowledge, both as an input and an output, is seen a key source of long-term growth and job creation. The study examines the relationship between structural change and the employment performance of the Canadian economy over the period 1971 to 1991, using Statistics Canada's input/output model. Though largely based on previous work by the OECD (1992), the study employs more timely data and a finer industrial disaggregation (111 industries as opposed to 33), and explores more closely the employment implications of the emergence of the knowledge- based economy.

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.
