- 1. Monthly Survey of Manufacturing ArchivedTable: 31-001-XDescription:
This publication provides estimated values of manufacturers' shipments, inventories and orders by month. Data are presented for 21 major groups and selected individual industries at the 3- to 6-digit level of detail, as defined by the 1997 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), as well as aggregates for durable, non-durable and total manufacturing. Major group industry data are shown with and without adjustment for seasonal variation. Unadjusted shipment totals by province and by major groups within provinces are also shown.
These data are used to monitor the business cycle in the manufacturing sector of the economy, to evaluate and develop financial and industrial policy, and to provide market data at the detailed industry level. Related information on manufacturers' opinions on the current state of inventories and orders and about employment and production prospects over the next three months are available from the Business Conditions Survey (BCS).
The survey is carried out at the beginning of January, April, July and October. Responses are available approximately five days after the reference month in Statistics Canada's The Daily. The BCS balance of opinion data often serves as a good guide to the direction of change, at least a month in advance of the corresponding quantitative data.
Release date: 2005-02-15 - 2. The precision of productivity measures ArchivedArticles and reports: 15-204-X19990005493Description:
This chapter looks at how exact productivity estimates are.
Release date: 2001-02-14 - Articles and reports: 15-204-X19990005494Description:
This chapter examines long-run productivity growth trends in the Canadian and U.S. business and manufacturing sectors, and short-run growth in labour productivity.
Release date: 2001-02-14 - Articles and reports: 15-204-X19990005497Description:
This chapter investigates changes in the way labour productivity moves over the course of the business cycle, and how short-run changes in labour productivity play out across industries.
Release date: 2001-02-14 - 5. Productivity growth in the Canadian manufacturing sector: A departure from the standard framework ArchivedArticles and reports: 15-204-X19990005498Description:
This chapter measures the effect of modifying the standard productivity growth framework to remove the effects of economies of scale.
Release date: 2001-02-14 - 6. Rubber and Plastic Products Industries ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 33-250-XGeography: CanadaDescription:
In 1997, the rubber products industries (Major Group 15) increased the value of its shipments by 7.7% from the previous year. According to the Monthly Survey of Manufacturing (MSM), shipments grew an additional 6.6% in 1998. This strength is largely due to low inflation, low interest rates, increased exports and increased demand for automobiles.
This document presents an overview of rubber products manufacturing in Canada and highlights key factors which have contributed to its improved performance over the last few years. Most of the data presented are based on the 1997 Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM).
Release date: 1999-09-01 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M1998119Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study examines differences in technology use in Canada as opposed to the United States as well as reasons for these differences. It examines different aspects of technology use-numbers of technologies used, types of technologies used, as well as regional, size and industry variations in their use. It then investigates differences in benefits that plant managers perceive stem from advanced technology use and differences in the factors that managers assess as impediments. While managers in both countries generally place quite similar emphases on items in the list of benefits received and problems that have impeded adoption, there are significant differences that arise because of the smaller size of the Canadian market.
