  • 1. Artificial intelligence adoption and productivity in Canadian firms
    Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202600400002
    Description: Artificial intelligence (AI) is widely recognized as a transformative technology with the potential to reshape business operations and drive productivity growth. Understanding the relationship between AI adoption and business performance is critical for shaping policies that foster innovation, technology diffusion and sustainable economic growth, especially given Canada’s persistent productivity challenges. This article summarizes key findings from the study “The Role of Complementary Capabilities in AI Adoption and Productivity: Firm-Level Evidence from Canada” by Li and Liu (2026), published in Canadian Public Policy. Using a novel firm-level database that links multiple waves of the Survey of Digital Technology and Internet Use (SDTIU) to administrative business microdata, the study examines factors influencing AI adoption among Canadian businesses and explores the relationship between AI adoption and firms’ labour productivity.

  • 2. GDP Explained Without Putting You to Sleep (We Promise!)
    Stats in brief: 45-20-00032026001

But for those of us who don’t own or operate multi-million-dollar companies, why does it matter at all? In this episode, Amanda Sinclair, Assistant director for the National Economic Accounts at Statistics Canada, explains some surprising ways GDP can be useful and why, for certain Canadian households, the numbers don’t always seem to add up.

  • 3. 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.

This paper examines the role of firm size in the widening labour productivity gap between the two countries since 2000.

  • 4. Purchasing Power Parities for Consumption and Household Income Across the Canadian Provinces and Territories
    Articles and reports: 11-633-X2025003
    Description: Regional economic disparities have been increasing in many high-income countries, leading to increased interest in the measurement of sub-country inequality. This paper provides new evidence on economic differences between the Canadian provinces and territories by developing regional purchasing power parities (PPPs) for Canada, which can be used to adjust for price levels while making interregional comparisons. Then, it uses these PPPs to create two price-adjusted measures of household disposable income per capita, analyzing differences in real income across the provinces and territories.
