Economic performance associated with digitalization in Canada over the past two decades / by Huju Liu.CS36-28-0001/2021-2-1E-PDF

"Using an innovative index that measures the extent to which digital technologies have been adopted in Canadian industries, this article compares the labour productivity performance of industries where digital inputs have been used more intensively in the production process (digitally intensive sector) to that of remaining industries (non-digitally intensive sector) over the past two decades. It also examines the gross domestic product (GDP) and employment growth of these sectors in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. From 2002 to 2019, labour productivity grew 22.1% in the digitally intensive sector, more than 3 times higher than that in the non digitally intensive sector. The digitally intensive sector also felt a much smaller negative impact from the COVID-19 pandemic than the non-digitally intensive sector"--Abstract, page 1.
