Trade exerts generally favourable effects on the performance of domestic manufacturing industries in the dimensions of allocative and productive efficiency. This paper reviews theory and recent evidence on these linkages and also explore a third effect-on the turbulence of competitive conditions and the turnover of business units. Calculations using primary census records for Canada over 1973-1992 indicate, with time and industry effect, controlled, market-share turnover, entry, exit, and mergers all increase with trade exposure. The effect is tied to market structures of differentiated products but broad international disturbances (North American Free Trade Area) also have significant effects. The normative significant of turbulence is mixed but has important positive components.
Release date: 1997-10-15 - Table: 50-002-X19970053239Description:
Canadian ports handled a record 51.3 Mt of international freight in the first quarter of 1997, an increase of 5.1% over the same period in 1996. Total international and domestic traffic increased just 2.4% to 61.1 Mt, as a 10.1% decline in domestic freight partially offset the gain in international traffic. Domestic traffic, at 9.8 Mt, sank to its lowest recorded first quarter level.

Release date: 1997-07-24 - Table: 50-002-X19970033096Description:
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.

The paper is organized into four sections. The first section introduces the data used for the analysis while the second provides a brief synopsis of the role of trucking in the Canadian economy. The third section contains a summary of the changes that have come about, at least partly, due to deregulation. The fourth section examines changes in trucking activity under the FTA and NAFTA.

signed the "Open Skies" Agreement allowing both Canadian and American airlines to establish direct links between any pair of cities located on either side of the border. This opening of air space comes within the scope of the general movement towards free trade with our main trading partner and will stimulate competition among North American air carriers for the largest transborder market in the world. The outcome of the agreement on companies' long-term share of the market remains to be seen. The agreement provides for a three-year transition period to allow carriers to adjust to new market conditions. Although all the agreement's provisions have not yet come into effect, changes in the industry are already noticeable. Since it would be premature to draw conclusions about the impact of the agreement, we focus first on the effect of the pact on the market share that American and Canadian companies have cornered after a year of "Open Skies". Secondly, we study the possible impact of the agreement on various stakeholders. This analysis uses data from Statistics Canada's International Travel Survey (ITS).
