- 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 - 3. 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 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2000139Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper estimates price-marginal cost mark-ups for Canadian manufacturing industries in order to assess the impact of import competition on domestic market power. The results are mixed. Although the overall relationship between mark-ups and imports is positive across industries for the early 1970s and insignificant for the late 1970s, there is some weak cross-sectional evidence to suggest that imports reduce market power in domestically concentrated industries. Changes in imports between the two periods, however, have a positive impact on mark-ups in concentrated industries. Thus, there is no consistent evidence for Canada that imports have had the beneficial impact on competition that has been emphasized in much of the literature. In contrast, an interesting result of the paper is that increases in exports are associated with reductions in mark-ups, suggesting that exports may have a stronger pro-competitive impact on domestic firms than imports.
Release date: 2000-05-04 - 5. Technology Adoption in Canadian Manufacturing ArchivedArticles and reports: 88F0006X1999005Description:
The study of the adoption and dissemination of technologies is one of the key components of innovation and technological development. Indeed, it is through the adoption of newer, more advanced, technologies that industries can increase their production capabilities, improve their productivity, and expand their lines of new products and services. Surveys on the adoption of new technologies complement other information collected about R&D and innovation, allow the measurement of and how quickly and in what way industries adapt to technological change.
This is the fifth Survey of Advanced Technology in the Canadian Manufacturing Sector. Three surveys of advanced manufacturing technologies were conducted in 1987, 1989 and 1993 (which was part of the Survey of Advanced Technology in Canadian Manufacturing), followed by a survey of the use of biotechnology by Canadian industries, conducted in 1997.
Increasingly, manufacturing industries rely on information technology and telecommunications, computerizing and linking all functions of their production process. This survey puts the emphasis on issues such as the use of communication networks, whether internal (e. g. Local Area Networks) or external (e.g. the Internet).
