| 500 | |a"The paper compares productivity levels between firms in five broad sectors in the two countries since that date (1985). To do this it uses firm-level data from the Compustat and Compact Disclosure data bases, supplemented by industry data from Statistics Canada, the U.S. Department of Commerce, and Jorgenson's capital, labour, energy and material (KLEM) data base. The five broad sectors examined are manufacturing; mining; transportation, communications and utilities (TCU); retail and wholesale (trade); and services. We then consider differences in labour quality, research and development (R&D), capacity utilization, firm size and returns to scale as possible explanations for the gap and the deterioration in each sector. In addition, we explore the difference in industrial structure for manufacturing."--Introduction. |
