Download or read book Can the Canada U S ICT Investment Gap be a Measurement Issue written by Andrew Sharpe and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2011, business sector investment per worker in information and communications technology (ICT) in Canada was only 57.8 per cent of the U.S. level, indicating an ICT investment per worker gap of 42.2 percentage points. Numerous explanations have been advanced to explain this gap, one of which is that the ICT investment data from Statistics Canada and the Bureau of Economic Analysis are not strictly comparable. The primary focus of this report is to analyze that hypothesis. We compare the methodology used to measure ICT investment in Canada and the United States and find that issues related to measurement account for approximately 4 percentage points (10 per cent) of the gap. Although software investment has been responsible for 90 per cent of the gap in recent years, seven out of 17 industries in Canada actually had greater investment per worker levels than the United States in both total ICT and software. A small number of ICT-intensive industries has been responsible for a substantial part of the gap. In particular, information and cultural industries accounted for 39.1 per cent of the total gap. This supports the conclusion that the Canada-U.S. ICT investment per worker gap is largely the result of industry-specific factors which affect software investment.

Book excerpt: Growth in labour productivity determines growth in wages (and therefore living standards) in the long-run. Growth in information and communications technology (ICT) investment hastens the pace of labour productivity growth and, consequently, it affects the development of wages and living standards. This report, which is based on the updating of the Centre for the Study of Living Standards (CSLS) ICT database for 2011, investigates the Canada-U.S. ICT gap for the business sector over the between 1987 and 2011, with special attention paid to the 2000-2011 period. We found that the Canada-U.S. ICT gap narrowed in 2011 across all its measures including ICT investment per worker, ICT capital stock per worker, ICT investment as a share of nominal business sector GDP, and ICT investment as a share of total fixed, non-residential business sector investment. Most significantly, the ICT investment per worker gap was 42.2 per cent in 2011, down 3.1 percentage points lower from 46.5 per cent in 2010. Canada's relative success was the result of stronger nominal ICT investment in 2011 compared to the United States, and an appreciation of our purchasing power parity (PPP) in machinery and equipment (M & E).

Book excerpt: The fall in nominal ICT investment in Canada, combined with the increase in the United States, resulted in an 8.5 percentage point fall in the ICT investment per worker in Canada from 59.6 per cent of that of the US business sector in 2008 to 51.1 per cent in 2013. [...] ICT Investment Trends in Canada and the United States and the Canada- U. S. ICT Investment Gap in the Business Sector 26 A. ICT Investment in Canada and the United States 26 i. Total Nominal ICT Investment Growth 26 ii. [...] Developments in ICT investment in 2013: In 2013, nominal ICT investment in the total economy in Canada rose 0.5 per cent to $40.6 billion from $40.4 billion in 2012, down from increases of 4.6 per cent in 2011 and 1.0 per cent in 2012. [...] The absolute fall in nominal ICT investment in the Canadian business sector, combined with the rise in the United States, as well as the worse US employment performance, resulted in nominal ICT per worker in Canada falling 8.5 percentage points from 59.6 per cent of that of the US business sector in 2008 to 51.1 per cent in 2013. [...] Hence, the slowdown in real ICT investment growth in 2013 was caused by declining growth in computer and communication equipment ICT investment: the contribution of computers and communication equipment to real total ICT investment growth in 2013 was lower than in previous years and more than offset the increased contribution of software ICT investment to real total ICT investment, (Chart A3.22).

It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. 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.
