Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates structural change at the national and regional level in five broadly defined sectors of the Canadian economy: the natural-resource-based, the labor-intensive, the scale-based, the product-differentiated, and the science-based sectors. The paper examines three aspects of change. First, it traces changes in the importance of each sector over the past two decades. It then examines the amount of internal change within each sector, changes in the importance of individual industries in each sector, and the nature of job turnover within industries. Finally, the paper considers the extent to which wage differentials have widened over time.

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: Europeans who settled previously unpopulated and unexploited regions of the world during the 18th and 19th centuries of the world had two economic alternatives: subsistence activities or the production of primary goods for export. In general the latter prevailed and the landscape and economy were transformed. This study examines industrial growth in Southern Ontario, one of the most economically successful regions, from 1851-1891, a period when primary activities were still very important but also when today's industrial structure was clearly being shaped. Economists, geographers, and those in related fields will welcome this approach which unites regional economic growth theory, and an empirical examination of distributional and structural change in manufacturing, in a general explanation of the spatial development of manufacturing that is relevant to all export-based regions.

This book was released on 1986 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Understanding the reason for the productivity differences between Canadian and U.S. manufacturing industries is important if a sound industrial strategy is to be followed in the next decade. This is particularly the case if Canada implements its policy of closer economic ties with the United States - either in the form of the previous Trudeau Administration's sectoral free trade approach or the present Mulroney Administration's attempt to enhance access of Canadian goods to the United States."--

Book excerpt: From the Executive Summary: The purpose of this study is to measure and analyse the recent performance of Canadian manufacturing and to examine the extent to which the recent weakness of this key sector of the Canadian economy reflects cyclical factors in Canada and other industrialized countries as opposed to structural problems which are long-term in nature. The analysis proceeds first at an aggregate level in which the performance of the manufacturing sector as a whole is viewed relative to the performance of the overall economy. Then the manufacturing sector is divided into 32 separate industries in order to get a clearer view of Canada's areas of strength and weakness within manufacturing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper measures job change in the Canadian manufacturing sector during the 1970s and early 1980s, investigating the degree to which employment is redistributed between producing units. The paper examines both the job change associated with entry and exit, and that which occurs as incumbent firms grow and decline. The associated redistribution of employment is the result of both interindustry and intraindustry shifts in relative firm size. In investigating job or position change, the paper focuses on two issues: the magnitude of the adjustment absorbed by the economy in the past, and whether there is a pattern to the adjustment process. The former provides a benchmark against which anticipated changes from such causes as trade liberalization can be estimated in the future. Answers to questions related to the latter issue are then used to characterize the nature of the adjustment process normally at work in Canadian manufacturing.
Download or read book The Trend to Smaller Producers in Manufacturing 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 examines the trend in the importance of small producers in the Canadian and U.S. manufacturing sectors from the early 1970s to the late 1990s. It finds similar trends in both countries. Small plants increased their share of employment up to the 1990s but their share remained stable in the 1990s. Small plants increased their share of output up to the 1990s but then saw their share of output decline. Over the entire time period, their share of output increased less than their share of employment and, therefore, their relative labour productivity has fallen. The similarity in the trends in the two countries suggests that causes of this phenomenon should be sought in similarities such as the technological environment rather than in country specific factors like unionization or trade intensities.

The second & final part attempts to explain the similarities & differences found in the performance of individual industries described in part one. It reports on the use of advanced technologies, summarizes connectedness in manufacturing, discusses innovation and human capital issues, and notes major challenges faced by the sector.
