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.
Download or read book Internal Trade in Canada Case for Liberalization written by Jorge Alvarez and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses the costs of internal trade barriers and proposes policies to improve internal trade. Estimates suggest that complete liberalization of internal trade in goods can increase GDP per capita by about 4 percent and reallocate employment towards provinces that experience large productivity gains from trade. The positive impact highlights the need for federal, provincial and territorial governments to work together to reduce internal trade barriers. There is significant scope to build on the new Canadian Free Trade Agreement to more explicitly identify key trade restrictions, resolve differences, and agree on cooperative solutions.
Download or read book The Economic Benefits of Interprovincial Trade in Canada written by Statistics Canada. Input-Output Division and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provincial access to national markets are essential in achieving economies of scale and efficiencies of production, that are critical for most industries to be competitive on an international scale in an era of rapid trade globalization. Based on the 1990 Interprovincial Input-Output Accounts this publication presents an overview of interprovincial and international trade flows that examines provincial trade balances, relative importance between internal and external trade, commodities most traded and international trade linkages. It provides an analysis of economic activity underlying interprovincial trade in terms of Gross Domestic Product and jobs created by exports, economic dependence on trade and rates of economic returns to trade, and an industrial profile of trade looking at the economic contributions of industries through exports as well as industrial dependence on export markets. The document also presents a trade profile for each province and territory illustrated with summary charts and selected analytical statistical summaries, and contains several statistical tables on interprovincial and international trade flows.
Download or read book The Provinces and Canadian Foreign Trade Policy written by Christopher J. Kukucha and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past thirty years, international trade agreements have focused increasingly on areas of provincial jurisdiction. In The Provinces and Canadian Foreign Trade Policy, Kukucha argues that Canadian provinces have maintained a level of autonomy in response to these developments, sometimes even influencing Canada's global trade relations and the evolution of international norms and standards. The first comprehensive review of provincial foreign trade policy in Canada, the book highlights the convergence of debates related to federalism, Canadian foreign policy, and the global political economy as they are played out in the negotiation and implementation of international trade agreements. It will be of interest to students and practitioners of political science, public policy, and economics.
Download or read book Economic Interdependencies Underlying Interprovincial Trade in Canada written by Hans Messinger and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The benefits of trade are well founded in the early economic literature of Adam Smith and David Ricardo. Canada's regional diversity of resources, (natural and acquired); a deep-rooted political economic union; and, well developed transportation and communication linkages provided essential ingredients for the establishment of extensive trade among Canada's provinces. The value of these trade flows have, traditionally, been used as an indicator of economic interdependence. This paper presents a means of measuring gross domestic product and employment implicit in provincial trade flows using Statistics Canada's recently released 1990 Provincial Input-Output tables and interprovincial trade flows. Empirical results of this procedure reveal that more than one third of the private sector economy relies on provincial exports, and the economic contribution of interprovincial trade rivals that of international exports.

Book excerpt: This book explains why Canadians must rid themselves of interprovincial trade barriers. Canada's provinces do almost as much trade with each other as they do with the rest of the world. But trade between the provinces is harder than with foreign countries. We trouble our own house with an amazing variety of barriers: professionals and tradespeople cannot move freely and practice where they wish, regulation makes it hard for investments to flow to where they are most needed, provincial governments give contracts to local firms even though out-of-province firms can do the job at a lower cost, Ottawa pays the most generous UI to regions with the highest unemployment and thereby encourages people to stay in parts of the country with little promise. The effects of such barriers on the economy are difficult to measure, which may be the reason that little has been done about them. But Canadians cannot afford to ignore their costs. The European Community is very close to the goal of ensuring free trade among its members. Unless we unlock our potential we may fall behind other countries and communities that have recognized the importance of internal as well as external free trade.
Download or read book National Borders Trade and Migration written by John F. Helliwell and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper first extends and reconciles recent estimates of the strikingly large effect of national borders on trade patterns. Estimates comparing trade among Canadian provinces with that between Canadian provinces and U.S. states show interprovincial trade in 1988-90 to have been more than twenty times as dense as that between provinces and states, with some evidence of a downward trend since, due to the post-FTA growth in trade between Canada and the United States. Using approximate data for the volumes and distances of internal trade in OECD countries, the 1988-92 border effect for unrelated OECD countries is estimated to exceed 12. Both types of data confirm substantial border effects, even after accounting for common borders and language, with the directly-measured data for interprovincial and province-state trade producing higher estimates." Initial estimates from a census-based gravity model of interprovincial and international migration show a much higher border effect for migration, with interprovincial migration among the Anglophone provinces almost 100 times as dense as that from U.S. states to Canadian provinces. Effects of migration on subsequent trade patterns are found for international but not for interprovincial trade, suggesting the existence of nationally-shared networks the large national border effects for trade flows

This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an empirical analysis of the geography of international trade, focused on interregional trade flows within Canada and the United States, but begins with an analysis of international trade flows at the international level to place Canada - United States interregional trade in a global context. At the international level, international trade flows are regionally focused and the intensity of that focus has not decreased over time. At the national level, there has been substantial change within the Canada - United States trading relationship. Prior to the establishment of free trade, Canada appeared to be moving into the lower-end of product quality trade relative to the United States, but now Canada appears to be moving into higher-end product quality trade with the United States. And at the regional level, trade flows have altered their spatial configuration since the establishment of free trade. Canadian provinces are now trading significantly more with the southern neighbours. The levels of interprovincial trade remain high, but the shares of provincial trade to and from the United States are now increasing.

Download or read book Migration and Canadian Interprovincial Trade written by Nusrate Aziz and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study estimates international and interprovincial migrants' impact on interprovincial trade using panel data from 1981- 2016 for Canadian provinces. Estimated results show that migration plays a significant role in determining Canadian interprovincial trade. Although the stock of interprovincial migrants is smaller than the stock of immigrants in Canadian provinces, the earlier plays a consistently positive and significant role in interprovincial trade, but the latter is not consistently significant across estimators. Trade openness, population-weighted distance, and language proximity are also significant factors of interprovincial trade creation. Our results are robust to different estimation methods, model specifications, and alternative measures of migrants' stock in Canadian provinces.
