Immigrants’ labour market experiences in early twentieth century Canada
The physical well-being of Indigenous communities in the Pacific Northwest
This paper documents the height of Indigenous men from the Pacific Northwest who were incarcerated in British Columbia's jails during a period of colonization and increasing market access. The average height of adults from a given community reflects the standard of living in that community at the time the adults were growing to maturity. After correcting for the impact of sample selection arising from prisoners' personal attributes, their home co…
Globalization and the spread of industrialization in Canada, 1871–1891
Recognizing Indigenous Rights in Canada
The recognition of Aboriginal rights in s. 35(1) of the Constitution Act transformed the legal landscape in Canada. In this article, we empirically estimate the economic impact of this transformation on the value of Canadian natural resource firms. We focus on six landmark Supreme Court of Canada precedents that are often viewed as having imposed significant economic effects on Canadian resource firms. We use event studies to test these claims, m…
Responding to the First Era of Globalization
In this article we document Canada's trade policy response to late nineteenth and early twentieth century globalization by linking newly digitized annual productspecific data on the value of Canadian imports and duties paid from 1870-1913, to establishment-specific production and location information drawn from the manuscripts of the 1871 industrial census. We find evidence of a highly selective move towards protectionism following the adoption o…

Protecting infant industries
Transport Costs and Trade Volumes
We use newly compiled evidence on inter- and intra-continental shipping costs to investigate the relationship between transportation and trade for trans-Atlantic iron markets from 1870-1913. Although we find a surprisingly weak connection linking ocean freight rates to British exports, after controlling for endogeneity and measuring all costs associated with inter-continental pig iron shipments and the intra-continental assembly of raw materials,…
Technological and Organizational Change and the Employment of Women
Using a data set that tracks the employment and wages of male and female production and clerical workers in Ohio from 1914 to 1937, this study finds that among manufacturing establishments, female employment and real wages rose rapidly throughout this period, particularly within clerical occupations. There were also substantial increases in the proportion of women in Ohio's manufacturing workforce, and women's wage increases kept pace with those …
Resource Specialization and Economic Performance
The main objective of this paper is to identify the channels through which specialization in resource-intensive production had an impact on the performance of the aggregate Canadian economy over the 1970–2005 period. As a whole, the Canadian resource sector appears to have been making substantial direct and indirect contributions to aggregate economic performance since 1970, and we can find little evidence of strong or consistent crowding-out eff…
The devil is in the details
The Engine or the Caboose? Resource Industries and Twentieth-Century Canadian Economic Performance
The Canadian economy, already wealthy, diverse, and relatively industrial at the dawn of the twentieth century, had not yet outgrown its reliance on resource-intensive production. Empirical evidence indicates that the exploitation of Canada's natural resource endowment made direct and indirect contributions to the size and efficiency of the twentieth-century domestic economy. I conclude that the concentration of capital and labor in resource indu…
Bowhead Whales in the Eastern Arctic, 1611-1911
As early as 1611 Bowhead whales resident between the east coast of Greenland and the island of Spitzbergen were the subject of intensive commercial hunting effort by Dutch, German and British whalers. By 1911 there was no significant, permanent population of Bowhead whales living in these waters. To understand the relationship between the commercial exploitation of the Bowhead and their eventual extinction we must determine the chronology of thei…
Aboriginal Rights, Customary Law and the Economics of Renewable Resource Exploitation
In this paper we investigate the economic foundations supporting the conservation rationale that is prominent in the Canadian court system's cautious approach to recognizing Aboriginal rights guaranteeing access to natural resources. We discuss the recognition of Aboriginal rights by Canadian courts, and we consider a standard economic model of a commercial fishery with profit-maximizing Aboriginal fishers, self-regulated Aboriginal fishers, and …
Saving the Whales
In this article we investigate the possibility that a regulatory regime designed to maximize the profitability of the early Dutch whaling industry could have simultaneously guaranteed the biological sustainability of the eastern Arctic Bowhead whale. We find that policies with economic profit as the sole objective could have saved the whales, as well as increasing the incomes of the whalers, under assumptions commonly made in fisheries models. Ho…
The micro-economic effects of financial market structure
Who is to Blame? Canadian Manufacturers and the Absence of Income Per Capita Convergence
No significant convergence between Canadian and American income per capita occurred during the first ninety years of the twentieth century. This lack of convergence does not appear to have been due to technological dependence, input price distortions, or diseconomies of scale within the Canadian manufacturing sector. The evidence presented in this paper is based on total factor productivity measurement, statistical testing, and counterfactual exp…
Environmental Politics in Canada
material in the first three chapters to issues that appear on the front pages of our newspapers every day. Again, these are powerful tools that McKenzie uses well. The fifth chapter emphasizes the need for environmentalists to be proactive in their search for public and policy support by linking environmental degradation to human health and national security. The optimism implicit in this chapter is refreshing. The final chapter moves beyond a st…

Assessing the Performance of Canada's Manufacturers
This thesis uses data collected from a sample of thirty-nine Canadian and thirty-nine American manufacturing firms to provide an empirical foundation for the assessment of the performance of Canadian manufacturers through most of the twentieth century. The unbalanced panel of Canadian firms covers the years 1907-1990. The unbalanced panel of American firms covers the years 1902-1990. To quantify the performance of Canadian manufacturers I measure…
