Income growth per capita in the provinces since 1950 / by Josh Gutoskie and Ryan Macdonald.: CS11-626/2019-95E-PDF
"This article in the Economic Insights series illustrates how real income progressed across the provinces from 1950 to 2016. The performance of the provinces is discussed using a new set of long‑run estimates for real gross domestic income per capita. This new dataset allows, for the first time, trends in aggregate real income across the provinces to be examined for the last 66 years. Long‑run data allow the amplitude of cycles across time to be demonstrated, and provide sufficient data to understand changes in trends in provincial economies that are sometimes subject to long commodity cycles. Provinces focused on hydrocarbon extraction had the most rapid per capita growth. Among the other provinces, those with below‑average per capita incomes in 1950 had higher growth rates than provinces with higher per capita incomes. As a result, the incomes of the provincial economies tended to converge over time"--Page 1.
