About this series
The Canadian Productivity Review is a series of applied studies
that address issues involving the measurement, explanation, and improvement
of productivity. Themes covered in the review include, but are not limited
to, economic performance, capital formation, labour, prices, environment,
trade, and efficiency at both national and provincial levels. The Review
publishes empirical research, at different levels of aggregation, based
on growth accounting, econometrics, index numbers and mathematical programming.
The empirical research illustrates the application of theory and techniques
to relevant public policy issues.
The primary distribution medium for this series is the Internet. These
studies can be downloaded from the Internet at
for free.
All papers in The Canadian Productivity Review go through institutional
review to ensure that they conform to Statistics Canada's mandate as a
government statistical agency and adhere to generally accepted standards
of good professional practice.
The papers in the series often include results derived from multivariate
analysis or other statistical techniques. It should be recognized that
the results of these analyses are subject to uncertainty in the reported
estimates.
The level of uncertainty will depend on several factors: the nature of
the functional form used in the multivariate analysis; the type of econometric
technique employed; the appropriateness of the statistical assumptions
embedded in the model or technique; the comprehensiveness of the variables
included in the analysis; and the accuracy of the data that are utilized.
The peer group review process is meant to ensure that the papers in the
series have followed accepted standards to minimize problems in each of
these areas.
