5203 |a"Canadian industrial productivity has and continues to lag behind that of the United States. One of the causes of this disparity is commonly considered to be the small size of plants in Canada. This paper, using a specially created database at Statistics Canada, examines the impact of trade and tariff changes in the 1970's -- following upon the Kennedy Round -- on the size distribution of plants in Canada. In particular it focuses attention upon the size of larger Canadian plants relative to larger U.S. plants, since the latter measure is then taken to be the indicator of minimum efficient size -- the smallest size of plant that minimizes unit production costs"--Abstract, p. v.
