68. Analyzing Census microdata in an RDC: What weight to use? Archived
Articles and reports: 12-002-X201200111642
Description:
It is generally recommended that weighted estimation approaches be used when analyzing data from a long-form census microdata file. Since such data files are now available in the RDC's, there is a need to provide researchers there with more information about doing weighted estimation with these files. The purpose of this paper is to provide some of this information - in particular, how the weight variables were derived for the census microdata files and what weight should be used for different units of analysis. For the 1996, 2001 and 2006 censuses the same weight variable is appropriate regardless of whether people, families or households are being studied. For the 1991 census, recommendations are more complex: a different weight variable is required for households than for people and families, and additional restrictions apply to obtain the correct weight value for families.

156. Cities and Growth: Moving to Toronto - Income Gains Associated with Large Metropolitan Labour Markets Archived
Articles and reports: 11-622-M2012023
Geography: Canada
Description:
This paper examines the process by which migrants experience gains in earnings subsequent to migration and, in particular, the advantage that migrants obtain from moving to large, dynamic metropolitan labour markets, using Toronto as a benchmark. There are two potentially distinct patterns to gains in earnings associated with migration. The first is a step upwards in which workers realize immediate gains in earnings subsequent to migration. The second is accelerated gains in earnings subsequent to migration. Immediate gains are associated with obtaining a position in a more productive firm and/or a better match between worker skills and abilities and job tasks. Accelerated gains in earnings are associated processes that take time, such as learning or job switching as workers and firms seek out better matches. Evaluated here is the expectation that the economies of large metropolitan areas provide workers with an initial productive advantage stemming from a one-time improvement in worker productivity and/or a dynamic that accelerates gains in earnings over time through the potentially entwined processes of learning and matching. A variety of datasets and methodologies, including propensity score matching, are used to evaluate patterns of income gains associated with migration to Toronto.
