From Urban Enclave to Ethnic Suburb: New Asian Communities in Pacific Rim Countries
From Urban Enclave to Ethnic Suburb focuses on the migration, settlement, and adaptation of Chinese and other Asian immigrants and their impacts on the transformation of metropolitan areas in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. These stories of the interactivity of Asian "people and place" in four nation-states are framed within the larger context of spatial and social patterns, migration, acculturation/assimilation, and racial…
Towards a more diversified Canada: Economic arguments for re‐confederation
In the ongoing Canadian debate on confederation, variations across the country are almost invariably viewed as conditions that must be removed or at best tolerated. This paper provides an alternative view and model of confederation that builds on portfolio notions of diversification. Here, instead of seeing regional differences as barriers to a strong confederation, we envision building solidly on these differences and encouraging regions to diff…
Growing Together or Apart: The Risks and Returns of Alternative Constitutions of Canada
Canada can be viewed as a politically-created portfolio of ten provinces plus two territories, with weights in that portfolio also determined by political rather than economic considerations. Viewing Canada in this way allows one to use principles of modern portfolio theory from financial economics to examine the economic efficiency of the present portfolio of provinces. This paper considers the economic efficiency of the current political portfo…

The Location of International Financial Activity: An Interregional Analysis
GOLDBERG M. A., HELSLEY R. W. and LEVI M. D. (1989) The location of international financial activity: an interregional analysis, Reg. Studies 23, 1–7. This paper examines the determinants of the spatial distribution of financial activity. The determinants of the sizes of the financial services sector are estimated using data for a sample of US states. Although our analysis is limited by the availability of data, the results are strong and clear. …
The Myth of the North American City: Continentalism Challenged
The continuing tendency to "continentalize" Canadian issues has been particularly marked in the area of urban studies where United States-based research findings, methodologies, and attitudes have held sway. In this book, Goldberg and Mercer demonstrate that the label "North American City" as widely used is inappropriate and misleading in discussion of the distinctive Canadian urban environment. Examining such elements of the cultural context as …

The Fiscal Condition of American and Canadian Cities
The fiscal condition of American and Canadian cities is examined in this paper using municipal bond ratings from Moody's Investors Service for the period 1970-1980. Two hypotheses are posited: that Canadian central cities will exhibit greater fiscal health than will American central cities; over time Canadian and US cities will exhibit differences in changes in bond ratings with changes being more positive for the Canadian case. Neither hypothesi…
