- 1. Patterns of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) Use in Canadian Manufacturing: 1998 AMT Survey Results ArchivedArticles and reports: 88F0017M2001012Geography: CanadaDescription:
This report covers the use and planned use of 26 advanced manufacturing technologies (AMTs) at the establishment level. Additional information on skill requirements, technology development and implementation practices, results of technology adoption, barriers to adoption and firms' research and development activities was obtained from the 1998 Survey of Advanced Technologies in Canadian Manufacturing.

Since the Job Vacancy Survey conducted by Statistics Canada between 1971 and 1978, there is no data which directly measures job vacancies in Canada. Using data from the 1999 Workplace and Employee Survey (WES), we attempt to fill this gap. We study the determinants of job vacancies at the location level. We find that workplaces with high vacancy rates consist of at least two types: 1) those employing a highly skilled workforce, innovating, adopting new technologies increasing skill requirements, facing significant international competition and operating in tight local labour markets, and 2) those which are non-unionized, operate in retail trade and consumer services industries and are not part of a multi-location firm. As a result, a substantial share of job vacancies are not in the high-technology sectors. More than 40% of all job vacancies and 50% of long-term vacancies originate from retail trade and consumer services industries.
Release date: 2001-11-01 - 3. Interpreting innovation indicators ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20010035967Geography: CanadaDescription:
In 1997, 41% of engineering services firms identified themselves as innovators, but only 4% of them had introduced breakthrough products or processes that had the potential of putting these firms in the role of global leaders. There's more than meets the eye in interpreting the myriad of indicators describing the "system of innovation".

This article examines evidence of consolidation in the Canadian P&C insurance industry since 1988.
Release date: 2001-10-16 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2001173Geography: CanadaDescription:
Using survey data, this paper investigates problems that firms in the Canadian manufacturing sector face in their decision to adopt advanced technology. The data show that while the use of advanced technology is relatively important (users account for over 80% of all shipments), it is not widespread among firms (users represent only about one-third of all establishments). One explanation lies in the fact that while advanced technologies provide a wide range of benefits, firms also face a series of problems that impede them from adopting advanced technology. These impediments fall into five groups: cost-related, institution-related, labour-related, organization-related, and information-related.
While it might be expected that impediments would be higher for non-users than users of technologies, the opposite occurs. We posit that the reason for this is that innovation involves a learning process. Innovators and technology users face problems that they have to solve and the more innovative firms have greater problems. We test this by examining the factors that are related to whether a firm reports that it faced impediments. Our multivariate analysis reveals that impediments are reported more frequently among technology users than non-users; and more frequently among innovating firms than non-innovating ones. We conclude that the information on impediments in technology and other related surveys (innovation) should not be interpreted as impenetrable barriers that prevent technology adoption. Rather, these surveys indicate areas where successful firms face and solve problems.

This article examines characteristics of the specialized design services industry in Canada. While the industry is relatively small, it is strategically important as good design can make products and services more competitive.
Release date: 2001-07-19 - Stats in brief: 88-001-X20010057916Description:
Canada's economic competitiveness depends on scientific and technological development and also on the people responsible for this development, especially those engaged in research and development . The number of research and development personnel is a supplementary measure to the statistics on intramural expenditures on research and development . The Frascati Manual states that "Data on the utilisation of scientific and technical personnel provide concrete measurements for international comparisons of resources devoted to research and development.
Release date: 2001-05-30 - 8. Some preliminary findings from the Survey of Innovation 1999 for manufacturing industries ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20010025754Geography: CanadaDescription:
Findings from the Survey of innovation 1999 provide insights into the percent of innovative firms in manufacturing, why these firms innovate, their obstacles to innovation, and the impacts of innovation.
Release date: 2001-05-02 - Articles and reports: 88F0017M2001011Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper presents estimates of the technological and performance indicators, organized into a system of innovation. The elements of the system are linked together as inputs, outcomes and impacts in order to form a coherent picture of the relationship between technological change and its economic impact.
Release date: 2001-04-23 - 10. Canada's competitiveness in the US travel market ArchivedArticles and reports: 87-003-X20010015462Geography: CanadaDescription:
To better understand the changes occuring in the US market, we will first compare the main characteristics of American travellers to Canada in 1990 and 1997. Then we will compare the characteristics of family travel and non-family travel seperately in 1990 and 1997.
