- 1. Wholesale Trade: The Year 2015 in Review ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-621-M2016099Description:
This review analyzes the performance of the wholesale trade sector nationally and regionally, along with key factors affecting the 2015 trends. Wholesale sales are examined at the subsector and industry level along with other relevant variables. This study also includes provincial wholesale sales.
Release date: 2016-09-26 - Articles and reports: 82-003-X200900310904Geography: CanadaDescription:
This study uses data from the 2006 Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Survey to examine: factors associated with intentions to quit smoking; factors associated with one or more quit attempts; smokers' reasons for relapse; their use of cessation aids and strategies; and their receipt of cessation advice from health professionals.
Release date: 2009-07-15 - Articles and reports: 11-522-X200600110444Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
General population health surveys often include small samples of smokers. Few longitudinal studies specific to smoking have been carried out. We discuss development of the Ontario Tobacco Survey (OTS) which combines a rolling longitudinal, and repeated cross-sectional components. The OTS began in July 2005 using random selection and data-collection by telephones. Every 6 months, new samples of smokers and non-smokers provide data on smoking behaviours and attitudes. Smokers enter a panel study and are followed for changes in smoking influences and behaviour. The design is proving to be cost effective in meeting sample requirements for multiple research objectives.
Release date: 2008-03-17 - 4. Hobby Farming: For Pleasure or Profit? ArchivedArticles and reports: 21-601-M1998033Description:
This paper examines hobby farming in Canada and the factors that keep hobby farmers farming.
Release date: 2000-01-14 - 5. Exports, GDP and jobs ArchivedArticles and reports: 75-001-X19990044757Geography: CanadaDescription:
The recent increase in exports' share of GDP has been exceptional. Imports have mirrored the trend in exports, with trade across the U.S. border being the driving force for both. Using Statistics Canada's Input-Output tables, this article explores the issue of some goods moving back and forth across the border at various stages of processing. (Adapted from an article in Canadian Economic Observer published in November 1999).
Release date: 1999-12-01 - 6. The Impact on the CPI of Not Surveying House Prices in Rural Regions: A Sensitivity Analysis ArchivedArticles and reports: 62F0014M1997008Geography: Province or territoryDescription:
In light of a recent change in population coverage, this study was initiated to determine whether the integrity of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) should be questioned on the grounds that it does not explicitly take into account rural house price movements. An attempt is made here to quantify the potential impact, using various regimes of artificial data to represent house price movements for rural regions. The regimes were manufactured in a way that allowed the analysis of differences between urban and rural regions in terms of the evolution of house prices, as well as differences in their cumulative price index levels. Three provinces were considered: Newfoundland, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia, all of which have large rural populations. The study results were monthly indexes for the time period, January 1986 to December 1994. The general conclusion was that house prices in rural regions would have to move very differently from those in urban regions to affect the overall level of the CPI. However, in the case of lower-level aggregates the failure to include rural house prices could be having an important effect. In addition, even when cumulative house price movements for rural and urban regions are similar, differences in their evolution tend to have an effect on the trend of the CPI, especially in the case of lower-level aggregates. While it is tempting to conclude that the current CPI methodology is robust enough to apply to the expanded population, this would be based purely on conjecture about the nature of movements in rural house prices. Hence, a second phase of this study will be initiated, whose purpose will be to develop a methodology to construct price indexes for rural regions.
Release date: 1999-05-13 - Articles and reports: 31F0027M1995001Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper looks at the rationalization of production costs in the Canadian manufacturing sector by examining expenditures on four main inputs (wages, salaries, energy, and raw materials) as they have evolved over time.
Release date: 1999-05-11 - 8. Attitudes toward smoking ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19980034138Geography: CanadaDescription: This article examines socio-demographic variations in attitudes about the health effects of smoking, second-hand smoke, and the importance of smoke-free environments.Release date: 1999-01-12
- 9. Which workers smoke? ArchivedArticles and reports: 82-003-X19980034139Geography: CanadaDescription: This article examines differences by occupation in daily cigarette smoking prevalence and intensity among full-time workers, and how these differences are associated with smoking restrictions at work.Release date: 1999-01-12
