Productivity growth in Canada

Abstract

Productivity growth in Canada, a completely revamped version of Aggregate productivity measures, is the new Statistics Canada's flagship on productivity measures and analysis of Canadian industries. This new publication, while more oriented toward an analytical content, also provides some stylized facts on productivity in Canada. In addition to several papers that address productivity issues at the plant level, the industry level and the macro level, the publication also investigates the structures of investment in Canada and an exploratory study on the importance of scale economies and fixity of capital in the measurement of the productivity of manufacturing industries.
