| 520 | |a"Productivity differences among Canadian regions are large and longstanding. A possible explanation for part of them is that innovations are typically adopted later in some regions than in others, even though they are always adopted eventually. That hypothesis, and its quantitative importance, are investigated in this book. The regional diffusion of several innovations is examined: special presses and other developments in the newsprint industry; roof trusses in the construction industry; electric furnaces and other methods of steelmaking; computers; shopping centres; and containerization of ocean cargo. It is concluded that there are significant and systematic regional lags, and that a not insignificant part of regional productivity differences are attributable to them"--Summary. |
