What Explains the Canada-US Labour Productivity Gap
This paper analyzes the reasons for the Canada-US labour productivity gap, which is mainly explained by the multifactor productivity (MFP) gap. Based on panel data for 41 industries, the regression results show that differences in the machinery and equipment (M&E) capital-labour ratio, trade openness, and capacity utilization explain differences in the Canada-US MFP gap across industries. The M&E capital intensity gap is the dominant source of th…
Competitiveness Challenges Facing Canadian Industries
The objective of this paper is to evaluate the competitive position of Canadian industries vis-à-vis their American counterparts. Our results suggest that recent good economic news and a strong trade performance mask Canada's competitiveness difficulties. The export surge and a big increase in the trade surplus were largely the result of a strong US economy and a large real depreciation of the Canadian dollar vis-à-vis the US dollar, but were not…

Labour Shortages and Immigration Policy
The implications of resolving Canadas future labor shortage problems by increasing the level of immigration are considered. The authors conclude that although a moderate increase in the immigration of skilled workers would be beneficial a substantial increase would be detrimental and would reduce per capita incomes. The need to develop domestic sources of labor through training and relocation is stressed. (summary in FRE) (ANNOTATION)
