- 1. Why non-innovators don't innovate ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20030036656Geography: CanadaDescription:
Statistics Canada's Survey of Innovation 1999 collected information on the innovation activities of firms in Canadian manufacturing and selected natural resource industries. The results provide insight into why a firm chooses to take the path of innovation or opts to be a non-innovator. For most non-innovators, the perception is that innovation is not required or is irrelevant to their industry. Non-innovative firms analysed here are those that did not introduce a new or significantly improved product or process in the previous three years and that did not carry out any innovative activities during the survey period.
Release date: 2003-10-20 - 2. The Effect of Tariff Reductions on Firm Size and Firm Turnover in Canadian Manufacturing ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0027M2003014Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper examines substantial productivity gains in Canadian manufacturing resulting from tariff reductions from the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement.
Release date: 2003-09-08 - Articles and reports: 11F0027M2003011Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper explores the linkages between export-market participation and productivity performance in Canadian manufacturing plants, between foreign-controlled and domestic-controlled plants, and between young and older plants.
Release date: 2003-08-15 - Articles and reports: 88-003-X20030026560Geography: CanadaDescription:
Food processing is one of Canada's largest manufacturing industries, consisting of more than 3,000 establishments. Employing close to 230,000 people in 1998, it boasted a gross domestic product of $15 billion that same year. The relationship between the use of advanced manufacturing technology and firm performance during the 1990s, as measured by growth in labour productivity and growth in market share, is the subject of a recently released Statistics Canada study, which finds that a high-technology orientation is closely associated with success.
Release date: 2003-06-27 - 5. Impact of Advanced Technology Use on Firm Performance in the Canadian Food Processing Sector ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0027M2003012Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper investigates the evolution of industrial structure in the Canadian food processing sector and its relationship to technological change. It uses 1998 special survey data on advanced technology use, plant characteristics and plant performance.
Release date: 2003-06-03 - 6. Canada E-Book ArchivedJournals and periodicals: 11-404-XGeography: CanadaDescription:
The Canada e-Book is an online version of the Canada Year Book with texts, tables, charts and audio clips that present the country's economic and social trends. The Canada e-Book illustrates Canada and Canadians under four broad headings: The Land, The People, The Economy, and The State. You will find a wealth of information on topics including the human imprint on the environment, population and demography, health, education, household and family life, labour force, arts and leisure, industries, finance, government and justice. All Canadians will enjoy this useful reference that helps explain the social, economic and cultural forces that shape our nation.
Release date: 2003-05-26 - 7. Regional Manufacturing Employment Volatility in Canada: The Effects of Specialization and Trade ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0027M2003005Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper measures the structural characteristics of regional economies; diversity, growth, plant size and export intensity; increases in export orientation; and other aspects of manufacturing employment in different Canadian regions for the period 1976 to 1997.
Release date: 2003-04-11 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2003193Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper outlines the size of the turnover in plants that have entered and exited the Canadian manufacturing sector during the three periods: 1973-1979, 1979-1988 and 1988-1997. It also examines the contribution of plant turnover to labour productivity growth in the manufacturing sector over the three periods. Plant turnover makes a significant contribution to productivity growth as more productive entrants replace exiting plants that are less productive. A disproportionately large fraction of the contribution of plant turnover to productivity growth is due to multi-plant or foreign-controlled firms closing down and opening up new plants. The plants opened up by multi-plant or foreign-controlled firms are typically much more productive than those opened by single-plant or domestic-controlled.
