Are Economists Rational, or Just Different
There is evidence that American economics undergraduates are more likely than others to act self-interestedly and less likely to behave cooperatively. In two experiments, differences between Americans and Canadians and between economics students and psychology students were examined. Data from simple bargaining and a prisoner's dilemma game are presented, which suggest that Canadian students may be more co-operative than American students, and ps…
Male-Female Urban Income Distributions in Canada
International trends of increasing income inequality have not occurred equally for male and female income distributions in Canadian cities. Urban male income inequality declined from 1970 to 1980; it increased in the next decade, but only to its 1990 level. Female income inequality has declined consistently. These urban income distributions can be well-explained using a dependency model in which the female income distribution is influenced by the…
Manufacturing Productivity and City Size in Canada, 1975 and 1985
This paper analyses the relationship between manufacturing productivity and city size, based on Canadian data for 1975 and 1985. The results differ in some respects from those of US studies; in particular, in Canada city size appears to have a weaker impact on manufacturing productivity, and an impact which is diminishing over time. These findings may be a consequence of several differences in the characteristics of Canadian and US firms, as well…
Male/Female Income Distributions, City Size and Urban Characteristics
While the effects of city size on urban income distributions have been studied, there has been no analysis of the separate effects on male and female income distributions. We assume that urban male and female labour markets are largely segmented. This is supported by the evidence for Canadian cities in 1970 and 1980. Cities with greater male income equality do not necessarily exhibit greater female equality. Further, the variables which contribut…
City Size and Income Distributions
Recent US studies generally conclude that city size contributes to greater intra-urban income inequality, while higher average income levels contribute to equality. We argue that Canadian cities and the Canadian urban system are in some ways different from those in the US, and that American results may not therefore be transferable to Canada. This is confirmed by our testing with 1971 Census data; we find that city size does not affect urban inco…
