  • 2. Intellectual property in the context of firms' exit strategies: The role of patents
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500600005
    Description: By focusing on exits, merger and acquisition and patenting activity, this paper provides a first assessment of the role of patents in firms' exit decisions. Using data from the Canadian Patent Research Database and the National Accounts Longitudinal Microdata File to track exits for cohorts of new firms, this paper explores the following questions: What is the role of patents in firms' exit decision? And more specifically: To what extent does owning patents contribute to firm survival (patent survival effect) or to exiting the market via merger and acquisition (patent trigger effect)?

  • 3. Did the COVID-19 pandemic zombify the economy? A look at zombie firms
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202500100002
    Description: Zombie firms are businesses that persistently perform poorly over time without exiting, and their prevalence has been rising over time across many advanced economies. They negatively impact economic growth as they tend to be unproductive and compete with other healthy firms for scarce resources. This article summarizes research by Statistics Canada, that examined zombie firm prevalence and their dynamics over the pandemic period, whether business supports helped to prop up zombie firms or encourage their survival, and their contribution to the decline in Canada’s productivity.

  • 4. Performance of women-owned businesses that patent
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202400900003
    Description: Intangible investments—investments that do not have a physical form—have been rising in importance in terms of use. From 1976 to 2016, the growth of intangible investments was faster than the growth of tangible investments. This study compares the performance of businesses owned by women (majority or equal ownership) that patent with that of majority men-owned businesses and businesses where gender of ownership cannot be assigned.

  • 5. New businesses since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202400600003
    Description: Businesses have faced numerous challenges since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Public health restrictions on business and personal activities aimed at stopping the spread of the virus were associated with a slowing of economic activity. This article examines how new businesses that entered after the beginning of the pandemic fared compared with previous entry cohorts.

  • 6. A profile of women inventors in Canada
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202400200001
    Description: This paper presents a profile of Canadian women inventors who patent in Canada, based on a rigorous matching methodology and a comprehensive linked dataset that allows examination of not only patent applications, but also various demographic and business characteristics associated with inventors. Using data on patent applications from the Canadian Intellectual Property Office, linked to the Canadian Employer–Employee Dynamics Database from 2005 to 2019, this research seeks to answer the following questions: Who are the women inventors in Canada? What are their demographic characteristics? In what types of businesses do they work? How many are entrepreneurs?

  • 7. A profile of corporate exits and insolvencies
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202301000005
    Description: The COVID-19 pandemic had a substantial impact on business dynamics, leading to the temporary or permanent closure of many businesses. Using a newly developed linked database, this paper presents trends in exits, insolvency proposals and bankruptcies across business and financial characteristics among corporations from 2004 to 2020.

  • 8. Immigrant credit visibility: Access to credit over time in Canada
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202300900001
    Description: Credit is a key element to modern economic life in Canada and immigrants may be at greater risk of lacking access to credit markets since credit information is, for the most part, not shared across international borders. Using data from the Survey of Financial Security, this paper studies the extent to which immigrants to Canada have access to credit and whether they are credit invisible. A person is credit invisible if they do not have a sufficient credit history for a credit reporting agency to be able to calculate a credit score or sufficient information to calculate the most accurate credit scores.

  • 9. Zombie firms in Canada
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202300300003
    Description: In Canada and other advanced economies, the share of zombie firms, defined as businesses that perform poorly over a long period of time without exiting, has been rising over the past few decades. Recent studies have shown that the share of zombie firms in Canada could potentially be the highest in the world. However, these studies for Canada are based only on publicly traded Canadian firms. This paper presents new evidence on zombification using not only publicly traded firms but also Canadian controlled private corporations, which make up a large proportion of businesses in Canada.

  • 10. Patenting activity of women-owned businesses in Canada
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202300200003
    Description: This article examines the patenting activity of women-owned businesses and compares it to that of men- and equally-owned businesses, and businesses where gender of ownership cannot be determined. It adds to the literature on the gender gap in patenting, as most of it has focused on women as researchers or inventors, and not as business owners.
