  • Going Dutch? The Impact of Falling Oil Prices on the Canadian Economy

    Jared C Carbone, Kenneth J McKenzieARTICLECanadian Public Policy2016References: 3

    The steady-state impact of reductions in the price of oil is examined using a CGE model of the Canadian economy. In our base case of a 10 percent reduction in the oil price, national output declines by 1.0 percent and consumer welfare by 0.90 percent. The welfare losses are shared broadly across the provinces, most particularly Ontario, Canada's manufacturing hub. The corollary, of course, is that a positive price shock leaves Canadians better of…

  • Taxation and R&D

    Kenneth J McKenzie, Natalia SershunARTICLECanadian Public Policy2010References: 1

    We in vestigate the extent of the impact that direct tax subsidies (the “push” effect) and the competitiveness of the production tax system (the “pull” effect) have on research and development. A panel dataset of nine countries over nineteen years is used to estimate a dynamic fixed effects model of aggregate R&D. Both effects are significant and economically important. The short-run elasticity of R&D with respect to the push effect ranges from –…

  • The Impact of the Capital Gains Exemption on Capital Markets

    Kenneth J McKenzie, Aileen J ThompsonARTICLECanadian Public Policy1995References: 9

    Using event study methodology, we test the hypothesis that the 1985 capital gains exemption decreased the marginal effective tax rate on capital gains using two samples of stock market prices that control for industry and firm level effects of other aspects of the budget. We derive estimates of the impact of the exemption on the effective capital gains tax rate, and on the user cost of capital. Using existing estimates of the relationship between…
