Book excerpt: Abstract In a series of recent publications, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) used the Hirschman-Herfindahl Index (HHI), in conjunction with other indicators of market power (import penetration rates and relative mark-ups) often used in the economics literature, to evaluate the market structure of industries and examine the intensity of competition in several count [...] For reasons outlined in the paper - computation errors, systematic bias of the OECD's HHI indicator, and the use of establishment-level data - the international comparisons of HHI performed by the OECD should be dismissed and their conclusions regarding the intensity of competition in Canadian industries should be considered with great caution. [...] A significant element of the OECD analysis relies on a comparison of the Hirschman-Herfindahl Index (HHI) of International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) manufacturing industries across several countries.1 In the industrial economics literature, the HHI is often considered a reliable measure of competitive intensity for theoretical and empirical applications, when taking into account ba [...] We focus our discussion on their analysis of the HHI.2 In these papers, the OECD shows that the average and median HHI for Canadian industries to be well below those of other countries, including the U. S., Japan, U. K., Finland, Sweden and Belgium. [...] They are: the proxy used by the OECD that systematically underestimates the standard measure of HHI, and the use of establishment-level data instead of enterprise-level data as the basis for the Canadian, U. S. and Japanese OECD calculations.

Book excerpt: Section 4 provides a brief description of the dataset and the construction of the competition indicators, as well as our approach to purging the endogeneity in some of these indicators. [...] Following the existing literature, we measure this distance as the difference in the (log) level of TFP in each country-industry relative to the technological frontier. [...] The weights used in the calculation are total input coefficients, derived from (harmonised) input-output tables, which measure the extent to which intermediate inputs from each of the non-manufacturing sectors are used in the final output of each sector in the economy. [...] However, given the noticeable discrepancies in the rates of depreciation across Canadian and the U. S. industries (in the available data), we apply the U. S.-industry capital depreciation rates to both countries. [...] Thus, using the resulting equation, we determine the contributions of the competition intensity gap to the Canada-U.

Download or read book Canada Can Compete written by Joseph R. D'Cruz and published by IRPP. This book was released on 1985 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the back cover: Canada can compete in international markets, but not, the authors contend, under the present national economic strategy. Policies that redistribute income and allocate resources through government fiat have weakended Canada's ability to transform its manufacturing sector to meet the new competititve challenges. D'Cruz and Fleck compare the performance of seventy-one Canadian industries from 1967 to 1981 with industries in Japan, the United States, Britain and France. To enhance the competitiveness of Canadian manufacturing, the authors propose a differential industrial strategy, one that emphasizes growth and development. Government, they say, must play a "hands-off" role in Canada's market economy, limiting itself to establishing the rules of the game. The authors recommend, in addition, macro-economic policies that would reduce the federal deficit, restrain wages for public servants, preserve low differentials between Canadian and American interest rates, and maintain the Canadian dollar at 70 cents U.S.

This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Offering a unique cross-disciplinary approach to scholarship in law and economics, this much-needed work expounds and critically evaluates all of the major doctrines of Canadian competition policy. The topics addressed, each in a separate chapter, include: Canadian competition policy in an historical context; basic economic concepts; multi-firm conduct; horizontal agreements; the merger review process; predatory pricing and price discrimination; vertical restraints; intra-brand competition; inter-brand competition; abuse of dominance; competition policy and intellectual property rights; competition policy and trade policy; competition policy and regulated industries; and enforcement. The treatment of each substantive topic is organized first around a discussion of the relevant body (or bodies) of economic theory and then the pertinent bodies of legal doctrine, including case law. Each chapter contains a critique of existing law in light of contemporary economic theory. This is the only book available that offers an up-to-date integrated analysis of economic theory and legal doctrine in the context of Canadian competition policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada: What It Is, What It Can Be provides an incisive examination of this country's increasing prosperity gap - the difference in value between what we do create and what we could create if we performed at our full potential. As Roger Martin and James Milway demonstrate, although we are proud of our trading prowess, we do not participate as aggressively in world markets with innovative products and services as we could. While we want to take risks to achieve success, our business strategies and economic policies need to set the bar higher to achieve the success we want for Canada.
