This book was released on 1999 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper looks at the future for productivity growth in Canada. Chapter 2 discusses theory and measurement issues. Two themes are covered: the link between productivity and living standards; the relationship between theory and measurement in light of the widespread use of the concept of multifactor productivity. Chapter 3 discusses the empirical literature on the determinants or drivers of productivity growth including investment, education and training, innovation, diffusion, and the broader context in which productivity growth is set. Chapter 4 deals with the prospects for future productivity growth in Canada. Chapter 5 concludes with a discussion of how traditional economic policies should account for potential productivity effects.

Download or read book Productivity Growth in Canadian and U S Regulated Industries written by Wulong Gu and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper compares the productivity growth of a set of Canadian and U.S. regulated industries. Using data from Statistics Canada's KLEMS database and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the paper examines productivity growth in transportation services (which includes air and rail), broadcasting and telecommunications, and financial services (which includes financial intermediation and insurance), over the period from 1977 to 2003. The majority of these provide the foundational networks on which other industries rely. These sectors were quite heavily regulated in Canada at the beginning of the period of study (1977), experienced partial deregulation during the period and still faced various types of regulation at the end (2003). Deregulation also occurred in the United States, but regulation has generally been less restrictive there over most of the period. The evidence shows that many of the Canadian industries that underwent deregulation experienced faster labour productivity growth and multifactor productivity growth than did the aggregate Canadian business sector and had similar or higher productivity growth than did their counterparts in the United States over the 1977-to-2003 period. Those industries include rail transportation, broadcasting and telecommunications, financial intermediation and insurance carriers. The airline industry had slower productivity growth in Canada than in the United States over the 1977-to-2003 period.

Download or read book Firm Level Total Factor Productivity Growth written by James Uguccioni and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadian railways are a vital part of the country's transportation sector, moving goods and people across the country. We perform firm-level productivity analysis of canadian freight railways for 1986 to 2009, focusing on the two railways which dominate the market: canadian national (cn) and canadian pacific (cp). We obtain total factor productivity (tfp) estimates both by constructing productivity indices and by econometrically estimating cost functions. Driven in part by operational improvements, the strong tfp growth at both firms considerably outpaced aggregate tfp growth in canada over the period of interest. This robust tfp growth, together with significant capital deepening, led to impressive labour productivity gains. We pay special attention to the productivity effects of the 1995 privatization of cn. While cn enjoyed much stronger productivity growth over the 1986-2009 period than cp, its performance was equally superior before and after the 1995 privatization.

Download or read book Labour Market Evolution written by George Grantham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-02-07 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have modern labour markets developed? Both labour economists and economic historians agree that it is necessary to look at labour markets in their historical context. Labour Market Evolution does just this. The contributors examine the operation and development of labour markets in Western Europe and North America since 1500. They address the key questions in this complicated process using new quantitative evidence. First, how closely connected were geographically distant labour markets? Second, how flexible were markets in the past - did wages change in response to demand shocks? Did workers move across space and occupations in response to cyclical or seasonal conditions. Third, were relationships between employees and employers short-term or long-term? Why did relationships change, and what were the implications for the flexibility and integration of markets? In examining these factors, this volume draws on modern labour economic theory and up-to-date quantitative techniques to show how current traditions and systems have evolved.
