- 51. Consumer Prices: The Year 2007 in Review ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-621-M2008074Geography: Canada, Province or territoryDescription:
Using data from the Consumer Price Index (CPI), this study examines the annual change in consumer prices for goods and services in Canada for 2007. This annual review also describes the sources of change in consumer prices. The analysis also includes a review of price movements in the provinces and an international comparison with OECD countries.
Release date: 2008-06-26 - Articles and reports: 11-010-X200800610626Geography: CanadaDescription: Canada stands to profit from the surge in food prices. Producers already have seen food exports hit a record high early in 2008. While consumers pay more for bread and cereals, this has been offset by stable or lower prices for other foodstuffs.Release date: 2008-06-12
- 53. Domestic and Foreign Influences on Canadian Prices over Exchange Rate Cycles, 1974 to 1996 ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0027M2006043Geography: CanadaDescription: The paper examines the pricing behaviour of 81 Canadian manufacturing industries from 1974 to 1996. It explores the domestic and foreign factors that affect price formation in Canada and the circumstances in which Canadian prices respond to foreign (U.S.) influences (the law of one price), as opposed to domestic factors (i.e., labour, energy costs and productivity growth). It finds that: (1) Canadian manufacturing prices are, on average, set using a mixture of a cost mark-up pricing rule and the law-of-one-price rule: both domestic factors (such as input prices and productivity) and foreign factors (such as competing U.S. prices) exert important influences on Canadian prices; (2) Canadian prices are more sensitive to U.S. prices if the industry faces higher import competition and if home and foreign products are less differentiated. Compared to prices of domestic products, prices of imported foreign products are more responsive to foreign prices. However, the price of imports also responds to Canadian prices; though this pricing-to-market phenomenon is reduced as imports increase in importance; (3) Industry differences exist. Domestic prices respond more to productivity changes in industries where competition is more intense and where products are more homogeneous. Imports respond more to domestic factors when they account for a smaller share of the domestic market; (4) As the pressure from foreign markets increases, in a period of an appreciating Canadian dollar, changes in prices are influenced more by fluctuations in foreign prices. In comparison, when the pressure from foreign markets decreases, in a period of a depreciating Canadian dollar, changes in Canadian prices are more responsive to input cost changes at home. Disequilibria that were generated by previous shocks are overcome more quickly during periods when the exchange rate appreciated.Release date: 2006-11-08

Release date: 2006-05-17 - Articles and reports: 62F0014M2005018Geography: CanadaDescription: Since the early 1990s, increased attention has been focused on the possibility that the rate of inflation may be being overstated as a result of measurement biases in the estimation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). One source of this possible error is caused by outlet substitution bias. This type of distortion can result when consumers shift their patronage from one retail outlet to another. As superstores and warehouse type stores continue to open and capture a larger share of the market, the existing CPI sample could become increasingly unrepresentative. If the prices are lower at the new outlets and this decrease in costs is not accurately captured in the CPI, the index will exhibit an upward bias.Release date: 2006-05-10

Release date: 2005-05-17 - 58. The soaring loonie and international travel ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-010-X20050027773Geography: Canada, Province or territoryDescription:
The close link between our exchange rate and cross-border shopping has broken down since 2002. More broadly, this is part of a worldwide slump in travel to the US.

Release date: 2005-02-10 - 59. The Consumer Price Index and You - Teacher's Kit ArchivedSurveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 62-560-XDescription:
This teacher's kit helps students understand how the Consumer Price Index (CPI) reflects price changes for the goods and services they buy.
The Custom Inflation Simulator is a Web-based resource that demonstrates how the many consumer goods and services in the 'basket' are used to calculate the CPI, and how consumption patterns differ from person to person. Using the simulator, students can also see the effect of individual price increases on overall inflation, in other words how each item in the basket is 'weighted' to reflect its importance in Canadians' consumption patterns.

- Articles and reports: 62F0014M2022008Description: The Canadian Consumer Price Index (CPI) accounts for the sale of used vehicles by including a net expenditure weight for used vehicles in the index for the purchase of passenger vehicles. However, price changes for new cars were used as a proxy for used cars to ensure price change for this product was still covered to the best extent possible. The research paper outlines the proposed plan for introducing used vehicle prices, including data and methods. With the introduction of the 2021 CPI basket, a new approach for measuring price change in used vehicles is recommended to replace the previous method of measuring used vehicles price change by proxy.Release date: 2022-05-18
