The Canada-U.S. productivity growth paradox / by Serge Coulombe. : C21-24/32-2000

Cover image

In this study, we investigate the productivity paradox with an analysis of Canadian and US business sector productivity data since 1961. The main finding of our analysis is that business sector MFP (multifactor productivity) growth estimates provided by Statistics Canada in March 1999 are neither consistent over time nor comparable to U.S. estimates.--Abstract
