Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report builds on 2 types of research on the structure and performance of Canadian manufacturing industries. One line addresses industries of domestic producers who serve the small Canadian market in competition with imports and is concerned with the productive efficiency of these industries but not with their short-run responses to international competition. The other line concerns the short-run sensitivity of responses of the manufacturing industries' prices, output, and employment levels to disturbances, focused on responses to domestic disturbances but not international. Using annual data on many individual industries, the study builds a statistical model of adjustments to changes in international competition such as changes in prices and varieties of importable goods, and in Canadian tariffs and the exchange rate. It tracks the effects of those changes on the selling prices of Canadian producers, quantities of imports and exports, and the key input decisions of employment and capital expenditures. It draws conclusions about these adjustment processes for the typical manufacturing industry but also shows how these adjustments vary among sectors and types of industries.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper evaluates the response of employment to exchange rate shocks at the industry level for the G-7 countries. Using a simple empirical framework that places little a priori structure on the pattern of response to shocks, we find the data are consistent with the view that employment in European industries, at least France and Germany, is much less influenced by exchange rate shocks and much slower to adjust to long run steady states. The United States, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom and Italy all appear to adjust more quickly. German and Japanese employment are quite insensitive to exchange rate fluctuations, consistent with previous research on output and markup responses to exchange rates.

This book was released on 1990 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is aimed at estimating the pattern and magnitude of worker and job reallocation, in both the long and the short run, as part of the dynamics of the market economy. It addresses such questions as: Have there been shifts in the relative importance of different sectors and industries? What effects do the exit and entry rates of plants have on the release and hiring of labour? How extensive is the employment expansion and contraction of continuing firms? How important is firm size in the process of job gain and job loss? How significant are worker separations? What is the relationship between form-related job turnover and worker separations? Do `trade-sensitive' industries experience less or more employment change than other industries?.

This book was released on 1995-11-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the role of the labor market in the transmission process of adjustment policies in developing countries. It begins by reviewing the recent evidence regarding the functioning of these markets. It then studies the implications of wage inertia, nominal contracts, labor market segmentation, and impediments to labor mobility for stabilization policies. The effect of labor market reforms on economic flexibility and the channels through which labor market imperfections alter the effects of structural adjustment measures are discussed next. The last part of the paper identifies a variety of issues that may require further investigation, such as the link between changes in relative wages and the distributional effects of adjustment policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper measures different aspects of labor market change that the Canadian economy has absorbed since 1970 by examining three separate measures of change and relating them to one another. The first set of measures examines the extent of employment shifts between industries, the second consists of job-change measures that capture the extent of employment growth and decline as a result of changes in producer employment levels, and the third set examines the size of and reasons for worker separations. The paper begins with a review of recent studies on inter- and intra-industry change and then quantifies some of the pressures placed on the Canadian labor force by change, in a way that overcomes the deficiencies in the reviewed literature. It then presents and discusses the results of the measurements of labor market change in the Canadian manufacturing sector.
Download or read book Exchange Rate Fluctuations and the Competitiveness of the Canadian Manufacturing Sector written by Mathieu Frigon and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar over the past 10 years has led to numerous discussions in Canada about the "Dutch disease." This term refers to the notion that an economic boom in commodities leads to a rise in the exchange rate that harms the competitiveness of the manufacturing sector's exports. Eventually this phenomenon can lead to a fairly large-scale deindustrialization of a national economy. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to clarify the role that exchange rate fluctuations play in the changing competitiveness of the Canadian manufacturing sector. First, the paper analyzes changes in this sector in Canada and in selected industrialized countries. Next, for all of these countries, it examines the competitiveness of this sector, measured by unit labour cost, and compares the impacts of various factors, including the exchange rate, on this cost. Lastly, the paper draws some conclusions about the role of the exchange rate in the decline in the competitiveness of the Canadian manufacturing sector.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a small open economy with increasing United States trade exposure and large exchange rate fluctuations over the past two decades, Canada provides an excellent environment in which to address the extent to which the exchange rate affects productivity. This paper adopts a dynamic framework with multiple quasi-fixed factors to examine the effects of exchange rates on the capital-labour ratio for the manufacturing sector in Canada. It develops a model that assumes that total factor productivity is exogenous and focusses on the relationship between labour productivity and the capital (machinery & equipment) to labour ratio. An empirical analysis is conducted on annual data (1981-97) from the Canadian Productivity Accounts for 21 manufacturing industries. The effect of the exchange rate on the capital-labour ratio is estimated through the user cost channel. A sensitivity analysis is also presented that includes testing whether the capital-labour ratio is more sensitive to changes in the price of labour than the user cost.
