"This paper examines differences in output per worker in the manufacturing sectors of Canada and the United States in 1929 and the extent to which it arises from efficiency differences. It makes corrections for differences in capital and materials intensity per worker in order to derive a measure of total factor efficiency of Canada relative to the United States, using detailed industry data. It finds that while output per worker in Canada was only about 75% of the United States productivity level, the total factor productivity measure of Canada was about the same as the United States level--that is, there was very little difference in technical efficiency in the two countries. Canada's lower output per worker was the result of the use of less capital and materials per worker than the United States."--Document.

Download The Role of Scale in Canada/U.S. Productivity Differences in the Manufacturing Sector, 1970-1979 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
"Understanding the reason for the productivity differences between Canadian and U.S. manufacturing industries is important if a sound industrial strategy is to be followed in the next decade. This is particularly the case if Canada implements its policy of closer economic ties with the United States - either in the form of the previous Trudeau Administration's sectoral free trade approach or the present Mulroney Administration's attempt to enhance access of Canadian goods to the United States."--

This document is a summary of the main findings of the Council's research on productivity, costs, innovation, and trade. It explores why Canadian industry has performed so poorly over the past 20 years. It compares that performance with those of other industrial and newly industrialized nations. It shows that Canada's situation has been slipping relative to that of its trading partners, and that this jeopardizes future living standards. It describes the feedback between the micro world of management and labour and the macro world of inflation and exchange rates.

Download Long-term Productivity Growth in Manufacturing in Canada and the United States, 1961 to 2003 Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
In this paper, we provide an international comparison of the growth in Canadian and U.S. manufacturing industries over the 1961-to-2003 period. We find that average annual growth rates of labour productivity growth were almost identical in the Canadian and U.S. manufacturing sectors during this period. But the sources of labour productivity growth differed in the two countries. Intermediate input deepening was a more important source of labour productivity growth in Canada than in the United States, while investment in capital and multifactor productivity (MFP) growth were more important in the United States than in Canada. After 1996, labour productivity growth in Canada was lower than in the United States. The post-1996 slower labour productivity growth in Canada relative to the United States was due to slower growth in MFP and slower growth in capital intensity. The slower MFP growth in Canada accounted for 60% of Canada-United States labour productivity growth difference, and slower growth in capital intensity accounted for 30%. The slower MFP growth in the Canadian manufacturing sector relative to that of the United States after 1996 was due to lower MFP growth in the computer and electronic products industry. The slower growth in capital-labour ratio in the Canadian manufacturing compared with the United States after 1996 is related to the changes in relative prices of capital and labour inputs in the two countries.
