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.

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 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.

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.
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 2003-07-03 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of innovation - its intensity, the sources used for knowledge creation, and its impacts - is based on a comprehensive survey of innovation of Canadian manufacturing firms. Attention is paid to the different actors in the system, who both compete with and complement one another. The study investigates how innovation regimes differ across size of firm and across industries. Owing to the high degree of foreign investment in Canada, special attention is paid to the performance of foreign-owned firms. The innovation regime of Canadian innovators is compared with results of studies of other industrialized countries. The picture of a typical innovator is a firm that combines internal resources and external contacts to develop a set of complementary strategies. The study finds that innovating firms depend not only on R&D, but also on ideas and technology from various other sources, both internal and external to the firm.
Download or read book Industrial Competition Shifts in Market Share and Productivity Growth written by John R. Baldwin and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the extent to which productivity growth is the result of turnover - the process that shifts output from one firm to another as a result of the competitive process. Turnover occurs because some firms gain market share and others lose it. Some turnover is due to entry and exit. The other part arises from growth and decline in incumbent continuing producers. The paper proposes a method for measuring the impact of plant turnover on productivity growth and outlines how this contribution has changed in Canada as a result of substantial trade liberalization in the 1990s.
