  • 1. Inflation in Atlantic Canada fuelled more by oil-linked products Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-621-M2017103
    Description:

    Gasoline and fuel oil, products whose price movements closely reflect underlying changes in the price of crude oil, have a greater influence on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the Atlantic Provinces compared with the rest of Canada. This paper explores how the higher basket shares for gasoline and fuel oil in Atlantic Canada help shed light on why these oil-linked products have a greater influence on the rate of inflation in this region.

  • 2. Heavy Fuel Oil Consumption in Canada Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-621-M2007062
    Geography: Canada
    Description: This study examines the trends in the use of heavy fuel oil Canada on the basis of industries and provinces between 1990 and 2005 using mostly data from the Report on Energy Supply-Demand in Canada
    Release date: 2007-09-06
  • 3. Rising energy prices: How big a shock to consumers and industry? Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-010-X20050118806
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Gasoline's share of consumer incomes rose both because of higher prices and increased consumption. The increase for household fuel was less onerous, as electricity rates have been more restrained. A number of industries, such as farming, forestry and travel are struggling with the rising cost of energy inputs.

  • 4. Canada, a Big Energy Consumer: A Regional Perspective Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-621-M2005023
    Geography: Canada
    Description: This study examines the increase of energy consumption in Canada, in the provinces and the northern territories between 1990 and 2003. The increase is compared with the consumption of energy per capita and the economic activity. The energy types examined are refined petroleum products (motor gasoline, diesel, heavy fuel oil), natural gas, coal and electricity.

  • 6. Item Selection and Quality Change in the Canadian Consumer Price Index Archived
    Articles and reports: 62F0014M1998012
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This paper examines the methods of adjustment for quality change made in the Canadian Consumer Price Index for the period 1989 to 1994. It finds that in most cases the current Canadian practice ensures that the replacement of one commodity by another, one variety of a commodity by another, or one outlet by another, has no impact on the overall index. The main exceptions to this result occur when replacing varieties of commodities that are purchased only occasionally, and a judgement is made that the quality ratio between the old and new variety is not the same as the ratio of their prices. In these cases there is an impact on the index, up or down, depending on whether the change in price reported is higher or lower than the change in quality. From the experience of the CPI in these six years there has been a correlation between the price ratio of a variety and its replacement and the index movement that derives from the judgement. The direction and size of the impact on the index depends largely on whether an item is replaced with a higher or lower priced item. For these reasons, the paper argues that more attention should be paid to ensuring that the item selection is more representative of current sales than has traditionally been the case.
