It reviews the trends in Canada's productivity and the trends in Canada's labour productivity and real income performance, relative to other G-7 countries with special reference to the United States. It also outlines the theoretical underpinnings of an econometric model to explain productivity growth and gives a brief summary of regression results for Canada, the United States, Japan, and West Germany. It analyzes the causes of the slowdown in Canadian productivity since 1973 using the estimated equations. In addition, it examines the reasons for Canada's poor manufacturing productivity performance relative to that of the major economies and summarizes the findings of the study.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores an alternate experimental measure of multifactor productivity growth based on the production frontier, a method that benchmarks observed units (firms or industries) against an estimated best-practice production frontier. This estimated frontier specifies the maximum possible output that can be produced from different combinations of inputs, based on the observed input-output mixes of sampled industries or firms. Benchmarking each unit against such a frontier generates a relative measure of its efficiency compared to what is theoretically possible by following best practice. This measure is based on distance from the estimated production frontier.

Chapter 3 discusses the empirical literature on the determinants or drivers of productivity growth including investment, education and training, innovation, diffusion, and the broader context in which productivity growth is set. Chapter 4 deals with the prospects for future productivity growth in Canada. Chapter 5 concludes with a discussion of how traditional economic policies should account for potential productivity effects.
