Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Firm turnover occurs both because of entry and exit and because of expansion and contraction in continuing firms. This paper develops measures of change in the incumbent population and compares them to the entry and exit process. In the first case, measures of employment growth and decline are used. Rates of change are measured both in the short and long run. Contrary to the case for entry and exit, where the annualized value of the long-run cumulative rates were about the same as the short-run rates, for continuing firms the short-run rates were much higher than the long-run rates. A larger percentage of short-run growth and decline in the continuing sector is transitory and is reversed in the long run. Nevertheless, over a ten year-period, both entry and exit and continuing firm change lead to a substantial cumulative increase or decrease in employment. In addition to measures of rates of change, the dissimilarity index of market shares in 1970 and 1979 is used to capture the amount of change in relative firm position. This measure captures the extent to which market share is transferred from losers to winners. This index shows that about 16 percentage points of market share, on average, are transferred as a result of growth and decline in the continuing sector. At the 4-digit industry level, one-third of all market share, on average, is transferred by both turnover processes over a decade. Finally, the paper examines whether high levels of entry and exit turnover are associated with high levels of continuing firm turnover and asks whether one process is just an extension of the other. It finds no correlation between the two and concludes that the two measures capture different aspects of mobility.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between the picture of the competitive process given by measures of market structure in contrast to measures of intra-industry mobility is investigated herein using principal component and canonical correlation analysis. The main dimension of concentration is related closely to the intensity of entry and exit. The other dimensions of concentration capture the importance of a secondary group of firms and are related to different aspects of intra-industry mobility such as continuing firm turnover. Using regression analysis, the paper finds that entry and exit is a significant determinant of concentration even after scale effects are considered.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the dynamics of job reallocation in the manufacturing sector of Canada. It does so by examining the pattern and magnitude of job gain, job loss, and total job turnover due to growth and decline of some firms, and entry and exit of other firms. It also investigates how the effect of cyclical as opposed to structural influences on job turnover have changed over time. Finally, the paper investigates whether the pattern and magnitude of job turnover differ across industries and across regions, and whether the differences are either caused by differences in cyclical sensitivity of job creation and job destruction or in the extent to which restructuring is taking place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dynamics of Industrial Competition describes the internal dynamics of industries using new and unique longitudinal data that make it possible to track firms over time. It provides a comprehensive picture of a number of aspects of firm turnover in North America that arise from the competitive process - the entry and the exit of firms, the growth and the decline of incumbent firms, and the merger process. Instantaneous and cumulative measures of market dynamics are provided. Since the forces contributing to competition are varied and industries are affected by heterogeneous forces, different aspects of firm turnover are considered in order to provide a comprehensive overview of the competitive process. Entry is divided into that portion coming from the creation of new plants and that portion arising from the acquisition of existing firms. Differences are drawn between the effects of related and unrelated acquisitions and between the effects of take-overs made by domestic and foreign firms. Differences between large- and small-firm activity are also investigated. The effects of turnover on productivity, efficiency, wage rates, and profitability are extensively model led. Using various measures of firm turnover to proxy the amount of competition, the study examines and contextualizes the relationship between industry performance and the intensity of the competitive process.

Book excerpt: "This paper examines the challenges that the manufacturing sector has faced over the last half century--focusing on both long- and short-term performance. It first examines whether there is evidence that this sector is in long-term decline. The paper also investigates how the industry has responded to specific shocks during this period--from exchange-rate movements, trade liberalization and business cycles."--Document.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely study fills some serious gaps in the historical record of economic development in Canada and compares it with that in the United States pointing out the parallels in development that have resulted from similarities in tastes and technologies and the high degree of monility between two economies. In addition, it clarifies certain mistaken notions about the Canadian economy by evaluating the sources of past growth and anticipating the potential open to the country. This edition includes a chapter which examines Canadian experience over the past decade and compares it with that of the United States. This work will be valuable to economists, policy makers and the informed layman. There is a minimal amount of complex mathematics and the bulk of the statistical material is relegated to the apendices.

Download or read book The Other Macdonald Report written by Daniel Drache and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 1985-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1982 the Macdonald Commission began its $20-million mission to find a consensus on Canada's future. The commission held hearings in 28 towns and cities, met with 700 concerned parties and assembled nearly 40,000 pages of testimony. In his Report, Commission chair Donald S. Macdonald announced Canada must make a "leap of faith" and embrace free trade with the U.S., apparently signalling the victory of a globalizing, corporate vision of the country's development. The Other Macdonald Report reopens the debate, presenting twenty key submissions to the Commission by organizations such as the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, the United Auto Workers, the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, the Canadian Mental Health Association and the National Farmers Union. Together these groups offer a vision of Canada where human needs take priority over capital and technology. The Other Macdonald Report offers alternatives to the corporate vision for Canada's future, alternatives forged during the vibrant free trade debates of the mid-1980s.
