Longitudinal analysis of Canadian imports by characteristics of importing firms, 1978-86 / Barry D. Mersereau. : CS65-0008/1992E-PDF

"This study analyzes Canadian imports over the nine-year period from 1978 to 1986 by characterizing importers in terms of their industry, country of control, firm size, propensity to import and country of import origin. For each of these years, a specially summarized import file has been constructed which covers the universe of Canadian importers at the individual firm level. These files have been enriched with additional variables by matching them against the universe of corporate tax-filers, and against other files which indicate the country of control of the importer. Further, a longitudinal analysis has been conducted on a panel of Canadian and foreign controlled importers. The panel is made up of importers for the years 1979 and 1986 that are corporate tax filers. Finally, inter-affiliate import trade is examined for 1986. Various cross-tabulations indicate the importance of tied trade by industry, type of importing firm and country of import origin. This database provides a unique source of information for the analysis of a number of important public policy trade-related issues"--Abstract.
