Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores what economists know about the economics of innovation. It identifies key empirical research on different aspects of what causes the pace of innovation to be faster or slower. A selective survey of empirical work on the determinants of innovation, guided by relevant economic theory, discusses the economics of information & its relation to innovation; the effects on the pace of innovation of the strength of intellectual property rights, firm size & market structure, geographic distribution of firms, corporate decision-making, national culture, financial systems, human capital accumulation, and checks on inequality; and whether government policy determines innovation.

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.

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 Infrastructure Politique Nationale Et Investissement tranger Direct written by Steven Globerman and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 2002 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely argued that a country's economic performance over time is determined to a great extent by its political, institutional, and legal environment. We refer to these public institutions and policies as the national political infrastructure (NPI) of a country. This report focusses on the linkage between measures of NPI and foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. Specifically, it tests the hypothesis that FDI will be attracted to regions characterized by more favourable NPIs. It also argues that countries with more favourable NPIs will create more domestic multinational enterprises, and they will therefore see more capital outflows, so that the net effect on capital flows may be uncertain. The study employs 2 sets of FDI data, both covering the period 1995-1997. The 1st set measures total FDI inflows and outflows to and from a sample of 144 developed and developing countries. The 2nd set uses United States Bureau of Economic Analysis data to measure the inflows of U.S. FDI to these same countries.
Download or read book The Development of Postsecondary Education Systems in Canada written by Donald Fisher and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant public investment and increased access to higher education lead to economic development - governments across the political and ideological spectrum believe this and have designed and implemented policy based on this understanding. The Development of Postsecondary Education Systems in Canada examines how these policies affect the structure and performance of postsecondary education. This comprehensive study compares the evolution and outcomes of higher education policy in British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec over the past three decades. The authors begin with an understanding that in order to explain the role of postsecondary education in society, they must locate systemic change. Drawing on documentary analysis and interviews, the focus is on how policy priorities are reflected in "system" behaviours: performance, funding arrangements, design, and structural components. Current theories about the liberal-democratic state, academic capitalism, and marketization inform discussions of the changing role of higher education in a globalized knowledge society. The book presents policy and education as a multidimensional exchange between the postsecondary community, policy makers, and the behaviour and performance of educational systems and concludes that higher education is a key actor in the restructuring of the state. The Development of Postsecondary Education Systems in Canada shows how higher education policy has been driven by a changing political and economic imperative and examines the contradictions and unintended consequences of education policy.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper looks at Canada's compliance with its Kyoto Protocol obligations, focussing on 2 questions: What sectors are likely to be the hardest hit (and, conversely, which might benefit) from various modalities of compliance? How do the costs of compliance change when the domestic implementation plan exempts some sectors? The analysis is conducted using a simulation model of the world economy. Specifically, a static Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model based on the Global Trade Analysis Project data is used. The analysis identifies 31 sectors and 11 regions. The study first looks at 2 core cost-effective policy approaches (national and global carbon permit trading) by way of placing the model's results in the context of other existing CGE carbon models.
Download or read book Are Canadian controlled Manufacturing Firms Less Productive Than Their Foreign controlled Counterparts written by Ponugoti Someshwar Rao and published by Industrie Canada. This book was released on 2000 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the multi-factor productivity gap between Canadian- and foreign-controlled manufacturing companies. The paper examines firm-level data to attempt to answer the following important research questions: whether foreign-controlled manufacturing firms are more (or less) productive than Canadian-controlled firms; whether the productivity gap widened or narrowed in the 1990s; and the factors that explain or do not explain the difference in productivity performance. Factors examined include labour quality, degree of unionization, and firm size.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the innovative performance of Canada with the aid of highly detailed patent data, drawn from all patents granted in the United States to Canadian inventors and to US patents granted to other countries. After an introduction & discussion of the data used, chapters 3 & 4 discuss the main trends in Canadian patenting, both in itself and in comparison to two groups of countries (the rest of the Group of Seven and a reference group consisting of Finland, Israel, South Korea, and Taiwan). Chapter 5 deals with the technological composition of Canadian innovations relative to that of other countries. Chapter 6 looks at the distribution of Canadian assignees, addressing who controls the intellectual property rights embodied in the patents. Chapter 7 studies the relative importance or quality of Canadian patents versus patents granted to US inventors, based on citations received. The final chapter discusses policy implications of the results.
