This book was released on 1996 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provincial access to national markets are essential in achieving economies of scale and efficiencies of production, that are critical for most industries to be competitive on an international scale in an era of rapid trade globalization. Based on the 1990 Interprovincial Input-Output Accounts this publication presents an overview of interprovincial and international trade flows that examines provincial trade balances, relative importance between internal and external trade, commodities most traded and international trade linkages. It provides an analysis of economic activity underlying interprovincial trade in terms of Gross Domestic Product and jobs created by exports, economic dependence on trade and rates of economic returns to trade, and an industrial profile of trade looking at the economic contributions of industries through exports as well as industrial dependence on export markets. The document also presents a trade profile for each province and territory illustrated with summary charts and selected analytical statistical summaries, and contains several statistical tables on interprovincial and international trade flows.

Download or read book Internal Trade in Canada Case for Liberalization written by Jorge Alvarez and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper assesses the costs of internal trade barriers and proposes policies to improve internal trade. Estimates suggest that complete liberalization of internal trade in goods can increase GDP per capita by about 4 percent and reallocate employment towards provinces that experience large productivity gains from trade. The positive impact highlights the need for federal, provincial and territorial governments to work together to reduce internal trade barriers. There is significant scope to build on the new Canadian Free Trade Agreement to more explicitly identify key trade restrictions, resolve differences, and agree on cooperative solutions.

Book excerpt: This book explains why Canadians must rid themselves of interprovincial trade barriers. Canada's provinces do almost as much trade with each other as they do with the rest of the world. But trade between the provinces is harder than with foreign countries. We trouble our own house with an amazing variety of barriers: professionals and tradespeople cannot move freely and practice where they wish, regulation makes it hard for investments to flow to where they are most needed, provincial governments give contracts to local firms even though out-of-province firms can do the job at a lower cost, Ottawa pays the most generous UI to regions with the highest unemployment and thereby encourages people to stay in parts of the country with little promise. The effects of such barriers on the economy are difficult to measure, which may be the reason that little has been done about them. But Canadians cannot afford to ignore their costs. The European Community is very close to the goal of ensuring free trade among its members. Unless we unlock our potential we may fall behind other countries and communities that have recognized the importance of internal as well as external free trade.

Download or read book Economic Interdependencies Underlying Interprovincial Trade in Canada written by Hans Messinger and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The benefits of trade are well founded in the early economic literature of Adam Smith and David Ricardo. Canada's regional diversity of resources, (natural and acquired); a deep-rooted political economic union; and, well developed transportation and communication linkages provided essential ingredients for the establishment of extensive trade among Canada's provinces. The value of these trade flows have, traditionally, been used as an indicator of economic interdependence. This paper presents a means of measuring gross domestic product and employment implicit in provincial trade flows using Statistics Canada's recently released 1990 Provincial Input-Output tables and interprovincial trade flows. Empirical results of this procedure reveal that more than one third of the private sector economy relies on provincial exports, and the economic contribution of interprovincial trade rivals that of international exports.

Download or read book The Canadian Agreement on Internal Trade written by Michael P. Leidy and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1998-04 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under a federal system of government, the division of responsibilities between the federal, provincial/state, and local levels of government may create internal barriers to the free flow of goods, services, labor, and capital, that reduce the efficiency of the economy. To deal with this problem in a systematic fashion, the federal and provincial governments in Canada established the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT), which entered into force on July 1, 1995. Along the lines of international trade agreements, the AIT established a legal/institutional structure that is designed to diminish barriers to interprovincial trade flows. The signing of the AIT was an important step toward progressively liberalized interprovincial trade in Canada. This paper takes stock of the achievements and shortcomings of the AIT. Although no other government appears to have undertaken a comparable reform, the internal barriers to trade being addressed by the AIT are not unique to Canada. The Canadian AIT thus presents a useful model for internal trade reforms that could be emulated by other countries.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this study is to examine the impact of the Free-Trade Agreement (FTA) on interprovincial trade. It first reviews some previous work on the effects of trading blocs on trade volumes. Section 3 contains aggregate evidence about the links between post-FTA movements in interprovincial trade and province-state trade. Section 4 analyzes new industry-level data designed to show whether the post-FTA changes in trade mix are consistent with interprovincial trade creation, trade diversion, or neither. Finally, Section 5 summarizes the two strands of evidence and sets some objectives for future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Canada is a relatively small, open economy with a large amount of foreign trade relative to its gross national product. The majority of that trade - over 70 percent - is with the United States. Policies that either limit or encourage foreign trade are therefore more important for Canada than for many other countries."--
