This book presents new estimates of the sources of economic growth in Canada. The experimental measures account for the reproductibility of capital inputs in an input-output framework and show that advances in technology are more important for economic growth than previously estimated. Traditional measures of multifactor productivity advance are also presented. Extensive comparisons relate the two approaches to each other and to a range of measures of structural change and labor productivity.

This paper examines the level of labour productivity in Canada relative to that of the United States in 1999. In doing so, it addresses two main issues. The first is the comparability of the measures of gross domestic product & labour inputs that the statistical agency in each country produces. The second is how a price index can be constructed to reconcile estimates of Canadian & US gross domestic product per hour worked that are calculated in Canadian & US dollars respectively. After constructing such an index and taking into account alternative assumptions about Canada/US prices, the paper provides point estimates of Canada's relative labour productivity of the total economy in 1999. The paper recommends a confidence interval to be applied to the estimates and notes the sensitivity of the interval to assumptions made about import & export prices.

This paper explores an alternate experimental measure of multifactor productivity growth based on the production frontier, a method that benchmarks observed units (firms or industries) against an estimated best-practice production frontier. This estimated frontier specifies the maximum possible output that can be produced from different combinations of inputs, based on the observed input-output mixes of sampled industries or firms. Benchmarking each unit against such a frontier generates a relative measure of its efficiency compared to what is theoretically possible by following best practice. This measure is based on distance from the estimated production frontier.

This paper examines the level of labour productivity in Canada relative to that of the United States in 1999. In doing so, it addresses two main issues. The first is the comparability of the measures of GDP and labour inputs that the statistical agency in each country produces. Second, it investigates how a price index can be constructed to reconcile estimates of Canadian and U.S. GDP per hour worked that are calculated in Canadian and U.S. dollars respectively. After doing so, and taking into account alternative assumptions about Canada/U.S. prices, the paper provides point estimates of Canada's relative labour productivity of the total economy in 1999 of around 94% that of the United States. The paper points out that at least a 10 percentage point confidence interval should be applied to these estimates. The size of the range is particularly sensitive to assumptions that are made about import and export prices.

"This paper has three main objectives. First, it examines the level of multifactor productivity (MFP) in Canada relative to that of the United States for the 1994-to-2003 period. Second, it examines the relative importance of differences in capital intensity and MFP in accounting for the labour productivity differences between the two countries. Third, it traces the overall MFP difference between Canada and the United States to its industry origins and estimates the contributions of the goods, services and engineering sectors to the overall MFP gap."--Document.
