  • 4. Material Offshoring: Alternate Measures Archived
    Articles and reports: 11F0027M2013086
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    In order to study the importance of material offshoring (defined in this paper as the use of intermediate imported materials) at the industry level, it is generally assumed that the import share of each input commodity for a particular industry is similar to that for the economy as a whole-because import data tend to be available only for the latter. This is referred to as the proportionality-based measure of offshoring.

    Recent advances in administrative trade data permit the development of more industry-specific measures of imports. However, these measures generally capture the agent that engages in importation. These firms may only be performing an intermediation role and may be located in industries (e.g., trade or finance) that differ from the industry of use. This study reports on these more direct measures of industry imports using Canadian micro import data as well as hybrid measures that make use of both input and import information. Estimates from various alternatives are then compared to estimates derived from a survey that asked for information on import intensity as part of a more general investigation of innovation.

  • 7. The Impact of Trade on Plant Scale, Production-Run Length and Diversification Archived
    Articles and reports: 11F0027M2006038
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This paper examines the effect of trade liberalization on plant scale, production-run length and product diversification. We first develop a model of trade in differentiated products with multi-product plants. We then present empirical evidence using a large panel of Canadian manufacturing plants and their experience with the 1989 Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The model predicts that the bilateral tariff reduction reduces the product diversification of exporting plants, increases the production-run length and has an ambiguous effect on the size of those plants. It also reduces the product diversification and size of non-exporting plants, and has no effect on the production-run length of those plants. The empirical evidence on non-exporting plants provides broad support for the model. The evidence on exporting plants shows that exporters reduce product diversification, and increase production-run length and plant size, but those changes do not appear to be related to tariff cuts. Once in the export markets, plants respond to forces other than tariff cuts. Further tariff cuts have less effect on those plants.

  • 9. Canada's natural resource exports Archived
    Articles and reports: 11-010-X20050057894

  • 10. Factors Determining the Success or Failure of Canadian Establishments on Foreign Markets: A Survival Analysis Approach Archived
    Articles and reports: 11F0019M2004220
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    This paper uses the 1993 to 2000 Exporter Registry of Statistics Canada to study the factors determining the success or exit of Canadian establishments on foreign markets. The survival analysis model is adopted to study the survival and hazard rates of exporting establishments, with the Cox proportional hazards regression used for the econometric analysis.

  • 1. Domestic and international shipping statistics, 1996 Archived
    Table: 50-002-X19970033096
    Description:

    Reapeating the success of the previous year, Canadians ports once again broke the tonnage record for international cargo handled in 1996. International cargo totaled 260.3 million tonnes, a slight increase of 2.2.% compared to the peak established in 1995. In 1996, the bulk of the growth in Canadian marine activity can be attributed to international unloading of goods.
