- 1. Export Growth, Capacity Utilization and Productivity Growth: Evidence from Canadian Manufacturing Plants ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0027M2011075Geography: CanadaDescription:
Labour productivity growth in the Canadian business sector slowed substantially after 2000. Most of the slowdown occurred in the manufacturing sector. This paper examines how this slowdown was associated with the restructuring that occurred in manufacturing as a result of the increase in excess capacity, the dramatic increase in the Canada-U.S. exchange rate and a slowdown in export growth.
Release date: 2011-12-12 - 2. Firm Turnover and Productivity Growth in Selected Canadian Services Industries, 2000 to 2007 ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0027M2011072Geography: CanadaDescription:
The nature of the competitive process that causes a reallocation of market shares within an industry contributes to aggregate productivity growth. This paper extends our understanding of industry differences in the competitive process by examining firm turnover and productivity growth in various services industries in Canada and situating them relative to retailing and manufacturing, two industries which have been the focus of these studies in the past. Seven industries in the services sector, namely wholesale trade, transportation and warehousing, air transportation, truck transportation, broadcasting and telecommunications, business services and financial services, are examined.
