This paper computes some potential employment and income effects of microelectronic-based technical change (MTC) in Canada. The probable upper and lower bounds of the predicted outcomes are determined by simulating alternative scenarios, and by computing the range of feasible post technical...

This paper computes the range of feasible adjustment paths for the Canadian economy in response to the adoption of some computer-based-automation technologies. The paper also compares alternative scenarios which are determined by different rates of diffusion of the new technology, different...
