Productivity Growth and Capacity Utilization in Canadian Business Industries
Author: Wulong Gu
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781100227139
Category : Capital productivity
Languages : en
Pages : 3
Book Description
This article in the Economic Insights series reports the impact of correcting for variations in capacity utilization on multifactor productivity growth in Canadian business industries. It is based on a recently released Statistics Canada research paper. Results show that multifactor productivity growth is procyclical for almost all business industries, largely reflecting variations in capacity utilization in some industries, especially in manufacturing and mining. After correcting multifactor productivity growth rates for pro-cyclicality, the slowdown in multifactor productivity post-2000 is significantly reduced.--Includes text from document.

Rwandan Economy at the Crossroads of Development
Author: Gouranga G. Das
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811550468
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This volume represents a cornucopia of research studies coming out of an international conference held in Kigali, Rwanda in 2018. The essays comprise contributions on various microeconomic and macroeconomic policy angles that are crucial for a less developed economy to embark on a road to recovery to converge with the desired trajectory. The topics encompass a broad range of issues like the role of savings, capital formation, human capital, innovations, entrepreneurship, profit-shifting by multinational corporations, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and firms’ strategies for achieving sustained and balanced growth. The chapters are organized under three major themes based on the commonality of areas that they cover: (i) Macroeconomic Constraints: Monetary Policy, Investments, and Population; (ii) Firms’ Performance, SMEs, and Role of Entrepreneurship; and (iii) Entrepreneurship and Business Performance: Strategies and Policies. It has a collection of 12 empirical studies that have an overall focus on macroeconomic policies such as savings among the rural poor; sustained investments in and development of capital markets; role of entrepreneurial sustainability; role of innovations for firms’ performance; healthcare reforms; the benefits of technology, policy incentives such as tax benefits for promoting growth, and strategic considerations such as marketing or positioning strategies; export strategies; and productivity enhancement via processing and profit sharing. With contributions from 27 authors, the studies bring forth knowledge about the factors that influence well-being via better technologies and innovations favoring productivity, firm performance, and their positive externalities in the food, nutrition, and health sectors. Given the wide-ranging coverage of top-down and bottom-up approaches and strategies for development, the book offers insights for policy interventions necessary for Rwanda’s gradual transition from agriculture to an industrial transformation via manufacturing and service-led development without smokestack industries.

Export Orientation and Productivity Growth of Canadian Food Manufacturing
Author: Natalia Piedrahita

Category :
Languages : en

Book Description
This thesis examines the relationship between export orientation (i.e. the participation) and productivity in Canadian food manufacturing, and determines the sources of productivity growth (i.e. technical efficiency, scale efficiency, and technical change). The relationship between productivity and export orientation was studied through the learning-by-exporting and the self-selection hypotheses. The results suggest that exporters have higher levels of productivity than non-exporters, and more productive plants self-select into export markets, but there is no evidence of learning-by-exporting. On the other hand, stochastic frontier analysis was used to decompose multifactor productivity into technical efficiency change, scale efficiency change, and technical change. The findings suggest there was a decline in productivity during the study period mostly driven by a decline in technical change over the study period. The industry experienced an improvement in technical efficiency and scale efficiency.

TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY AND ELASTICITY OF INPUT SUBSTITUTION IN THE CANADIAN FOOD MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY.
Author: Aditya Singh

Pages :
Book Description
The purpose of this study is to estimate technical efficiency and the elasticity of input substitution between factors in production in the Canadian food manufacturing industry. First, the estimated mean technical efficiency of the Canadian food manufacturing industry is 87.5%. Secondly, based on the estimates of Hicks and Morishima elasticities of complementarity measures, capital and labour are substitutes, whereas the capital and energy are complements to each other. Given estimates of technical efficiency, there is only modest scope for increasing aggregate productivity through improvement in technical efficiency. One implication of the findings in the study is that innovation policy that encourages investments in innovation may increase aggregate productivity growth.
