Cette etude examine la performance canadienne en terme de productivite au cours de la periode 1961 to 2005. Elle etudie la croissance la productivite du travail et les sources de cette croissance en terme de productivite multifactorielle, de contribution de l'intensite du capital et...

Le but de l'etude est d'examiner les effets de diverses methodes de calcul du cout d'usage du capital sur les estimations des indices de prix et de volume des services de capital. Nous determinons la sensibilite des resultats a l'utilisation d'un taux de rendement exogene par opposition a...

Dans ce document de recherche, on examine l'ecart de productivite entre le Canada et les Etats-Unis. On etablit une frontiere nord-americaine pour le secteur des entreprises et celui de la fabrication a partir des donnees provenant des deux pays.

Le present document porte sur le cycle de revision des estimations de la productivite du travail au cours de la periode 2000-2003.
