Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600300004
Description: Given the longstanding and deeply integrated economic relationship between Canada and the United States, knowledge of how Canada’s economic performance compares to that of its southern neighbor can provide valuable insights into potential changes in relative living standards between the two countries. This paper measures economic performance across three common aggregate measures: labour productivity, real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, and real gross national income (GNI) per capita.
