It also outlines the theoretical underpinnings of an econometric model to explain productivity growth and gives a brief summary of regression results for Canada, the United States, Japan, and West Germany. It analyzes the causes of the slowdown in Canadian productivity since 1973 using the estimated equations. In addition, it examines the reasons for Canada's poor manufacturing productivity performance relative to that of the major economies and summarizes the findings of the study.

Download or read book Productivity Growth and International Competitiveness written by Wulong Gu and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents estimates of effective multifactor productivity (MFP) growth for Canada, the United States, Australia, Japan and selected European Union (EU) countries, based on the EU KLEMS productivity database and the World Input-Output Tables. Effective MFP growth captures the impact of the productivity gains in upstream industries on the productivity growth and international competitiveness of domestic industries, thereby providing an appropriate measure of productivity growth and international competitiveness in the production of final demand products such as consumption, investment and export products. A substantial portion of MFP growth, especially for small, open economies such as Canada's, is attributable to gains in the production of intermediate inputs in foreign countries. Productivity growth tends to be higher in investment and export products than for the production of consumption products. Technical progress and productivity growth in foreign countries have made a larger contribution to production growth in investment and export products than in consumption products. The analysis provides empirical evidence consistent with the hypothesis that effective MFP growth is a more informative relevant indicator of international competitiveness than is standard MFP growth.

Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
Download or read book Productivity Performance and International Competitiveness written by Ehsan U. Choudhri and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern adaptation of the Ricardian model is used, which incorporates monopolistic competition and multiple factors to derive a MacDougall-type relation between a country's international competitiveness at the industry level and its productivity performance. This relation is implemented empirically for Canada and the United States, using panel data for twenty-five years and forty industries. A key finding is that the Canadian-U.S. productivity ratio is an important determinant of relative shares of Canadian firms in both Canadian and U.S. markets. Trade liberalization between Canada and the United States also plays a significant role in influencing market shares.

Book excerpt: The remaining acceleration was due to the increase in intermediate input intensity, while the capital contribution was significantly lower in the second half of the 1990s than in the first period. [...] In the United States, on the other hand, capital accumulation and the intermediate input intensity were responsible for the service sector labour productivity growth acceleration in the latter half of the 1990s. [...] The fourth section, based on data from the Jorgenson project on ICT (Ho, Rao and Tang, 2003), examines the sources of output and labour productivity growth in service industries in Canada and the United States in the 1981- 1995 and 1995-2000 periods. [...] In 2001, the average worker in the service sector produced 94.2 per cent of the real output of the average worker in the economy as a whole (Table 1). [...] In the transportation and utilities industry, Canada had in 2001 a relative labour productivity level of 125.4 per cent compared to a 165.9 per cent level in the United States.9 The relative labour productivity level in FIRE was also higher in the United States in 2001.
