- Articles and reports: 65-507-M2004001Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article examines the trends in merchandise trade flows between Canada and South Korea between 1994 and 2003. Canada's trade with South Korea, one of the "Four Tigers" of East Asia, pales in comparison with our transactions with the United States. However, over the last decade South Korea has gained importance as a trading partner for Canada, especially in motor vehicles and auto parts.

Release date: 2004-10-29 - Surveys and statistical programs – Documentation: 81-595-M2004020Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article discusses the collection and interpretation of statistical data on Canada's trade in culture goods. It defines the products that are included in culture trade and explains how appropriate products are selected from the relevant classification standards.

Canada has benefited both from the direct effect of higher exports to China and indirectly from the upward pressure on commodity prices. Canada diversified its exports away from its traditional dependence on wheat to industrial goods and forestry products. Meanwhile, Canada's increasing imports from China have raised incomes in that country while supplying a new source of low-priced goods, especially to firms in North America investing in machinery and equipment.
Release date: 2004-06-17 - 6. Canada's Trade with China ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-624-M2004007Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article documents the evolution of Canada's trade with China over the last 15 years in the context of the broad shifts in China's trade with the world.
Release date: 2004-06-08 - Articles and reports: 11F0019M2004220Geography: CanadaDescription:
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.
Release date: 2004-05-05 - 8. Changing Trade Barriers and Canadian Firms: Survival and Exit After the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement ArchivedArticles and reports: 11F0019M2004205Geography: CanadaDescription:
This paper considers the implications of changing trade barriers on the survival of Canadian manufacturing firms. A segmented market Cournot model was developed to describe the effects of trade liberalization for heterogeneous firms operating in diverse industries. The predictions of this model are tested empirically using firm-level data for both public and private corporations and tariff rates for both Canada and the United States. Our findings suggest that Canadian tariff reductions decreased the probability of the survival of Canadian firms while declines in American tariffs increased the probability. Combining these two effects, firms in two-thirds of Canadian manufacturing industries saw their probability of survival increase as a result of the tariff reductions mandated by the Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement. However, the sensitivity of individual firms to tariff changes was mitigated by the characteristics of those firms. In particular, productivity and leverage played substantial roles in determining a firm's vulnerability to failure as a result of trade liberalization.
Release date: 2004-04-28 - 9. Terms of trade, GDP and the exchange rate ArchivedArticles and reports: 11-010-X20040036835Geography: CanadaDescription:
This article focus on the reasons for the recent sharp shift in Canada's terms of trade and the distributional effects on the economy, which have already been considerable. We also look to the recent American experience with a sharply rising dollar as a guide to how different sectors of the economy could gain or lose from these changes. The terms of international trade - defined as the ratio of our export prices to import prices - shifted in favour of importers at the expenses of exporters.
Release date: 2004-03-25 - 10. Mambo Italiano - Canada-Italy culture goods trade ArchivedArticles and reports: 87-004-X20020036767Geography: CanadaDescription:
When it comes to cultural or artistic products such as sculptures and paintings, Italy has centuries of rich cultural heritage to draw upon. Thus, it comes as no small surprise that Italy is a major source for culture goods imports to Canada. From 1996 to 2002, Italy was ranked sixth in terms of Canada's suppliers of culture goods.
Imports from Italy had previously been flat or declining until 2001, but jumped 72% year-to-year in 2002. The increase came despite a sizable appreciation of the Euro against the Canadian dollar. Since spending on culture goods tends to increase with income, it is possible that Canada's growth in disposable income and consumer spending since 2001 contributed to this jump.
