Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper argues that the lack of evidence for a strong link between innovation & productivity in Canada is due to incomplete measures of innovation. The authors first construct a comprehensive measure of innovation that models innovation as an unobservable latent variable that underlies four indicators: research & development propensity, measured as a percentage of output; patents per worker; technology adoption, measured as real investment in machinery & equipment; and skill intensity, measured as the employment share of workers with a university education. The authors then examine the relationship between innovation & productivity in 14 Canadian manufacturing industries over 1980-1997 using the new measure. The results also show that the length of time it takes for innovation to have a positive & significant impact on productivity differs across industries.

Download or read book Commerce International Le Commerce Interprovincial Et la Croissance Des Provinces Canadiennes written by Serge Coulombe and published by Canadian Museum of Civilization/Musee Canadien Des Civilisations. This book was released on 2003 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper provides an empirical analysis of the comparative evolution of interprovincial & international trade and their effects on regional growth for the Canadian provinces since 1981. It first establishes the trend in the relationship between the ratios of interprovincial & international trade to gross domestic product, revealing a sharp break that occurred around 1991. The analysis casts doubt on the pure diversion model often used in trade modelling. The second part uses a conditional convergence-growth model to estimate the respective long-run effects of interprovincial & international trade on Canadian regional economies, specifically in relation to productivity, relative gross domestic product per capita, and job creation. The final chapter discusses implications of the results for regional economies & economic policy issues.

Book excerpt: "The World Investment Report 2018 provides analysis of the interaction between new industrial policies and investment policies. It provides an overview of industrial policy models - based on an inventory of industrial policies adopted by more than 100 countries over the last decade - and the role of investment policies within each model. The Report illustrates how investment policy instruments are used differently across various models and suggests ways to improve the impact of industrial policy through more effective and efficient investment policies. Finally, the Report offers recommendations to update existing investment policy instruments, including investment incentives, special economic zones, investment facilitation and foreign investment screening mechanisms."--Provided by publisher.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper focuses on identifying promising long-term infrastructure investment opportunities. The authors highlight important long-term trends. These include: the increasing importance of knowledge-based learning activities; the more modest pace of economic growth in Canada & other advanced industrial economies; the emergence of Asia as the new centre of world economic growth; & the worsening of global environmental problems. On the basis of these trends the authors develop a list of promising infrastructure projects centred on 4 objectives: increase Canada's participation in the global learning economy (investment in pre-school learning, secondary school performance, & Internet tools & applications); build trust between economic actors through local institutions which would evaluate major projects & make the results available to affected communities; improve the quality of life & the environment (promoting use of electric vehicles, introducing urban recycling programs); reposition Canada in the world economy by establishing multidisciplinary centres of excellence in research on global economic & social issues.

Organized by the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) and the Foreign Investment Advisory Service (FIAS), the workshops focused on implementing policies relating to private investment and discussing possible improvements as ways of increasing the inflow of foreign direct investment. The discussions covered 10 subjects: the investment approval process, access to land, domestic financing, tax administration, entry visas and work permits, price controls, customs and port operations, foreign trade formalities, foreign exchange controls and formalities, and the legal and judicial systems. The workshops also addressed the behavior of governments themselves and the mentality and attitudes of the civil service. The volume contains both English and French versions of the text.

Download or read book Canadian Government Policies Toward Inward Foreign Direct Investment written by Steven Globerman and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 1998 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first section of this report identifies and discusses the range of policies that governments can implement to directly or indirectly influence inward foreign direct investment (FDI), as well as the behaviour of multinational companies in the host market. The following section sets out public policy criteria against which to evaluate the consequences of Canadian government policies toward inward FDI. The next section reviews the determinants of inward FDI, drawing upon the existing economic and international business literature. The subsequent two sections contain a broad overview of inward FDI patterns to Canada over the post-war period, with preliminary inferences about the influence of public policies on inward FDI flows, and discuss significant policy initiatives directed at influencing either the quantity of quality of inward FDI. These include the Foreign Investment Review Act, the Investment Canada Act, and the North American Free Trade Agreement. This is followed by a section that identifies Canadian government policies directed at restricting inward FDI at the sectoral level (financial services, oil and gas, communications). Welfare economics arguments for and against sectoral foreign ownership restrictions are considered. Original economic models of FDI for Canada are then discussed and case studies are presented of the consequences of foreign ownership and the impacts of foreign ownership policies on the three sectors mentioned above. The final section concludes the report with a summary and a set of policy recommendations.
