Household Income and Household Food Insecurity before and during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Nous avons examiné le rôle de la Prestation canadienne d'urgence (PCU) et de la Prestation canadienne de la relance économique (PCRE) dans la répartition des revenus et la prévalence de l'insécurité alimentaire des ménages au cours de la première année de la pandémie de coronavirus de 2019. En nous appuyant sur l'Enquête canadienne sur le revenu pour 2018–2020, nous avons constaté qu'en 2020, la PCU/PCRE a entraîné une hausse des revenus à l'extr…
Using an Engel Curve Approach to Infer Cost of Living Experienced by Canadian Households
We use Survey of Household Spending data for 1997–2015 and apply an Engel curve approach to infer how well the all-items Consumer Price Index (CPI) represents the cost of living experienced by Canadian households. We find that the CPI understates the cost of living for households before 2010. After 2009, the CPI overstated the cost of living of households, suggesting that post-recession real incomes were higher than suggested by CPI deflated inco…
Would Better Access to Preventive Care Reduce Use of Acute Care? Evidence from a Large-Scale Not-for-Profit Intervention in Alberta
We find that participants in a large-scale not-for-profit program that lowered financial barriers to accessing preventive health services of different types and different efficacies had statistically significant hospital admissions, emergency department visits, and use of general practitioner services avoided. Although our ability to interpret our estimates as causal effects is limited by the voluntary nature of participation in the program, our …
A natural experimental study of the protective effect of home ownership on household food insecurity in Canada before and after a recession (2008–2009)
Reduction of Food Insecurity among Low-Income Canadian Seniors as a Likely Impact of a Guaranteed Annual Income
Canada has episodically discussed guaranteed annual income (GAI) as a poverty reduction strategy, and the idea has garnered renewed attention. We investigate the potential effectiveness of such a strategy by examining food insecurity as an indicator of poverty in unattached low-income adults age 55 to 74 years before and after they become age-eligible for publicly financed pensions at age 65. Results from the Canadian Community Health Survey (200…

The Social Rate of Return to Investing in Character
A Path Analysis of Recurrently Food-Insecure Canadians Discerns Employment, Income, and Negative Health Effects
This study examined the determinants of recurrent food insecurity as an indicator of persistent poverty. Cohort data were extracted from 1998 to 1999 to 2006 to 2007 of the Canadian National Population Health Survey. A path analysis model examined the direct effects of sociodemographic, employment, and health variables on being recurrently food insecure (one third of the cohort), and their indirect effects mediated through permanent income. Path …
Canadian Economics in Decline
Dans cet article, nous analysons le nombre d’articles publiés par un échantillon aléatoire de professeurs de facultés de sciences économiques au Canada; nous analysons également le contenu de ces articles, pour déterminer s’ils traitent ou non de sujets relatifs au Canada. Pour cela, nous avons recours à la fois à des preuves descriptives et à modèles de régression de séries chronologiques de données. Nos résultats appuient dans une certaine mesu…
Accreditation Requirements and the Speed of Labour Market Adjustment in Canadian Building Trades
We investigate the influence of accreditation requirements on the speed of adjustment in the markets for eight building trades in 20 Canadian cities from 1971 to 2010. We aim to improve our understanding of how labour market institutions and regulations may impede adjustment in the markets for skilled labour, and therefore lead to persistent skills imbalances. Our estimates for the speed of labour market adjustment in construction trades cast dou…
Evidence of the Association between Household Food Insecurity and Heating Cost Inflation in Canada, 1998–2001
We investigated the 5.3 percentage point increase in the prevalence of food insecurity in Canada between the National Population Health Survey of 1998–99 and the Canadian Community Health Survey of 2000–01. We found that the increase in food insecurity occurred disproportionately in households in the western provinces, particularly Alberta, and among homeowners rather than renters. Inter-provincial variation in heating cost inflation explained as…
Drinking Water Fluoridation and Oral Health Inequities in Canadian Children
Long-Term Consequences of Natural Resource Booms for Human Capital Accumulation
Tight labor markets driven by resource booms could increase the opportunity cost of schooling and crowd out human capital formation. For oil-producing economies such as the Province of Alberta, the OPEC oil shocks during the period from 1973 to 1981 may have had an adverse long-term effect on the productivity of the labor force if the oil boom resulted in workers reducing their ultimate investment in human capital rather than merely altering the …

Socialists, Populists, Resources, and the Divergent Development of Alberta and Saskatchewan
Canada's federal government established the provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta in 1905, making them approximately equal in area, population, and economy. Roughly one hundred years later, Alberta has three times the population of Saskatchewan and a gross domestic product (GDP) that is more than four times greater. The creation of the border represents a “natural experiment” that allows us to assess the relative importance of institutions versus…
Hecksher‐ohlin in Canada
Many immigrant‐receiving and land‐abundant countries experienced a diminishing ratio of wages to land prices during the globalisation era from 1870 to 1910. Factor price evidence suggests that Canada does not fit the pattern. We present the first Canadian estimates of region‐specific wages and land prices that span the period from 1871 to 1925. Our evidence indicates that while Canada as a nation looks like an anomaly in the era of convergence, t…

From Defining Characteristic to Vitiation of Principle
Some studies that address the decline of fraternal sickness insurance conclude that fraternal insurers were crowded out of the market by increasing government and commercial competition. This line of reasoning reinforces beliefs that government and commercial insurers were superior to fraternal providers and that voluntary insurance arrangements were deficient for addressing household income risks before the rise of the welfare state. This articl…
Continentalizing Canada
Free trade has been a highly contentious issue since the Conservative government of Brian Mulroney negotiated the first deal with the United States in the 1980s. Tracing the roots of Canada's contemporary involvement in North American free trade back to the Royal Commission on the Economic Union and Development Prospects for Canada in 1985 - also known as the Macdonald Commission - Gregory J.

Pork Packers, Reciprocity, and Laurier's Defeat in the 1911 Canadian General Election
The 1911 Canada–United States Reciprocity Agreement had a central role in the campaigns of the Liberal and Conservative parties in the 1911 Canadian General Election. Consequently, Laurier's defeat in 1911 has been interpreted as Canada's rejection of reciprocity and her commitment to tariff protection. This analysis shows that reciprocity bolstered support for Laurier in 1911. In the absence of opposition from pork packers, particularly in Quebe…
