Understanding the importance of the dynamic entry process in the Canadian economy involves measuring the amount and size of firm entry. The paper presents estimates of the importance of firm entry in Canada. It uses the database underlying the Longitudinal Employment Analysis Program (LEAP), which has produced measures of firm entry and exit since 1988. This paper discusses the methodology used to estimate entry and exit, the issues that had to be resolved and the reasons for choosing the particular solutions that were adopted. It then presents measures that are derived from LEAP. Finally, it analyzes the sensitivity of the estimates associated with LEAP to alternative methods of estimating entry and exit.
Release date: 2016-11-10 - 2. Quarterly Business and Employment Dynamics: Experimental Estimates, First Quarter 2001 to Third Quarter 2014 ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-626-X2015045Description:
This Economic Insights article presents quarterly estimates of employer business entry and exit, and the associated job creation and destruction from the first quarter of 2001 to the third quarter of 2014. These quarterly estimates supplement the annual data provided by Statistics Canada’s Longitudinal Employment Analysis Program (LEAP) by providing more timely, infra-annual data on business and employment dynamics.
Release date: 2015-03-31 - Articles and reports: 11-626-X2014038Description:
This article in the Economic Insights series describes the results of a data linkage project that created experimental long-term estimates of firm entry and exit rates for the Canadian business sector. It is part of a series of papers that examines firm dynamics using micro-economic data.
Release date: 2014-08-25 - Articles and reports: 11F0027M2013084Geography: CanadaDescription:
There is abundant evidence that many firms cluster together in space and that there is an association between clustering and productivity. This paper moves beyond identifying the broad effects of clustering and explores how different types of firms benefit from agglomeration. It advances research on agglomeration by showing, first, that not all firms gain to the same degree from co-location and, second, that businesses with different internal capabilities capture different forms of geographical externalities. The empirical analysis focuses on Canadian manufacturing establishments operating over the period from 1989 to 1999.

When an existing firm decides not to commercially develop a discovery, enterprising entrepreneurs may establish a spinoff organization to pursue the venture. Of the 532 biotechnology firms in Canada in 2005, 179 reported that they were spinoffs from another organization.
Release date: 2008-05-22 - 6. The Business of Nurturing Businesses ArchivedArticles and reports: 88F0006X2008002Description:
This paper is based on the findings of the Survey of Technology and Electronic Commerce (SECT), which in 2005 included a module on business incubation service providers and users. The results of the Survey of Business Incubators (SBI) were discussed in Joseph, Bordt and Hamdani (2006). The main difference between the two surveys is that the SBI focused on business incubators (BIs), firms that provided business incubation as their main line of activity the criterion used to define industry boundaries in statistical systems whereas the SECT covered all firms that provided business incubation services to new companies, whether it was their main activity or a small part of the business.

Although private investors and government funding agencies have learned that the biotechnology sector requires a funding model different from that of traditional manufacturing, there is a paucity of empirical research investigating the links between characteristics of the funding model and firm performance. The purpose of this article is to examine which funding sources have the greatest influence on firm growth.
Release date: 2007-10-09 - 8. The Scientific Research and Development Services industry: Profile of a young and dynamic industry ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X200700210329Geography: CanadaDescription:
The scientific research and development services industry is arousing growing interest among analysts and researchers. The interest aroused by this industry is due in part to its major contribution to total industrial expenditures on research and development (R&D) in Canada.
Release date: 2007-10-09 - Articles and reports: 88F0006X2006006Description:
This paper conceptualizes business incubation and translates theoretical ideas into measurable metrics. Specifically, it explains and develops the concept, discusses the influence of major economic and technological events on its evolution, identifies different models and explains how business incubators create value. It then explains how these concepts have been implemented in Statistics Canada's first survey of business incubators.

This paper highlights business incubators in Canada. A business incubator is a business unit that specializes in providing space, services, advice and support designed to assist new and growing businesses to become established and profitable. The survey covered information on business incubator affiliation; infrastructure; sources of funding; policies; clients and activities; services; impact; management; and barriers
