A diversity analysis of structural change based on the Canadian Input-Output Tables / by René Durand and Terri Markle.: CS15-602/12E-PDF
"This article presents a summary of part of an on-going study at Statistics Canada which bears on the analysis of the variability through time of input-output structures. All structures are being analyzed in current and constant prices over the 1961 to 1984 period but only the results pertaining to the industries' input structures in current prices are reported in this article. Structural changes are assessed over time horizons of one, two and five years based on the Kullback cross entropy index formula. Results are presented for major industry groupings. In addition, structural changes in the current price input structure are decomposed into a price and a quantity component. The authors have found that structural changes generally follow a smooth path through time and tend to be cumulative over the long run with some cyclical fluctuations over the short run. Some of the structural changes appear to be the result of statistical events (establishment moves across industries, changes in methodologies, etc.) rather than tied to real phenomena. The quantity component of structural change appears to be more important than the price component in almost all time periods and time spans except when the Canadian economy was subjected to important price shocks during the seventies"--Abstract.
