  • 1. Firm size and labour productivity growth in Canadian residential construction
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600200003
    Description: Canada has experienced relatively low productivity growth in the construction sector over the last several decades. This study examines the evolution of labour productivity in residential construction from 2001 to 2023 by using firm-level data from the National Accounts Longitudinal Microdata File. In addition to providing statistics on labour productivity growth, the study decomposes the growth in labour productivity by firm size (by number of employees), and province, showing which types of firms contribute to aggregate growth. It also provides statistics on labour productivity growth for some large census metropolitan areas.

  • 2. The role of firm size in the Canada–U.S. labour productivity gap since 2000
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202501200002
    Description: Canada’s business sector has a lower level of labour productivity compared with that of the United States. Moreover, there has been a substantial divergence in labour productivity in the business sectors of Canada and the United States since 2000. As a result, Canada’s labour productivity gap with the United States widened in that period. This paper examines the role of firm size in the widening labour productivity gap between the two countries since 2000.

    Articles and reports: 11F0019M2025002
    Description: This paper examines the effect of regulatory accumulation on aggregate economic growth. Aggregate economic growth arises from growth occurring at individual firms and firm turnover through firm entry and firm exit. Therefore, the paper will examine the effect of regulatory accumulation on those two main drivers of aggregate economic growth: firm growth and business dynamism separately.

  • 7. Investment Slowdown in Canada After the Mid-2000s: The Role of Competition and Intangibles
    Articles and reports: 11F0019M2024001
    Description: This paper contributes to the understanding of the investment slowdown in Canada by focusing on the role of intangibles and competition. While this paper focuses on the role of intangibles and competition in the investment slowdown, it also examines several other firm-specific factors that may be related to investment and its slowdown. These factors include firm leverage, defined as the debt-to-asset ratio; the factors related to financial constraints, measured by the retained earnings-to-asset ratio and profit-to-asset ratio; and firm size.

  • 8. The post-2001 productivity growth divergence between Canada and the United States: The role of the information and cultural services industry
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202301200006

However, a notable exception is the increasing disparity in labour productivity growth between the two nations. This article summarizes recent research by Statistics Canada, focusing on the information and cultural services industry and how its competitive intensity relative to the United States has influenced the Canada-U.S. labour productivity growth gap since 2001.
