  • Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202300600001
    Description: The Canadian Economic Tracker, released on May 16th 2023, is a new data visualization tool combining selected monthly indicators of economic activity from Statistics Canada’s Common Output Database Repository (CODR) into a unified, customizable interface. The Tracker includes six indicators: business openings and closures, employment and weekly earnings, job vacancies and vacancy rates, gross domestic product, the consumer price index, and the industrial product price index. Each data release for these series is automatically incorporated into the Tracker, ensuring that the statistics remain timely and up to date. This article is the first in a series which will uncover insights that can be collected from the Canadian Economic Tracker.

  • Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202300400002
    Description: This article provides an integrated summary of recent changes in output, consumer prices, employment and household finances. It highlights changes in the economic data during the second half of 2022 and into the winter months. The article also examines how economic conditions have changed as borrowing costs have risen.

  • Articles and reports: 36-28-0001202300200002
    Description: A key feature of the buildup in inflationary pressure over the last two years is the extent to which it became increasingly broad-based, with elevated price increases affecting a gradually wider set of products and services. This spotlight article provides some context on the amount of consumer spending that has been impacted by high inflation since price pressures began to build in early 2021. Using expenditure weights from the consumer price index, it reports on the share of the expenditure basket that falls into different inflationary ranges, first based on all products and services, and then separately for food products.

  • Stats in brief: 11-631-X2023003
    Description: This presentation provides an overview of recent inflationary pressures in Canada, focusing primarily on changes in food prices and shelter costs. It reports on the extent to which price pressures have become increasingly broad-based over the past two years and highlights the social impacts of inflation.

    Description:

    Gasoline and fuel oil, products whose price movements closely reflect underlying changes in the price of crude oil, have a greater influence on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the Atlantic Provinces compared with the rest of Canada. This paper explores how the higher basket shares for gasoline and fuel oil in Atlantic Canada help shed light on why these oil-linked products have a greater influence on the rate of inflation in this region.

    Description:

    In the evaluation of prospective survey designs, statistical agencies generally must consider a large number of design factors that may have a substantial impact on both survey costs and data quality. Assessments of trade-offs between cost and quality are often complicated by limitations on the amount of information available regarding fixed and marginal costs related to: instrument redesign and field testing; the number of primary sample units and sample elements included in the sample; assignment of instrument sections and collection modes to specific sample elements; and (for longitudinal surveys) the number and periodicity of interviews. Similarly, designers often have limited information on the impact of these design factors on data quality.

    This paper extends standard design-optimization approaches to account for uncertainty in the abovementioned components of cost and quality. Special attention is directed toward the level of precision required for cost and quality information to provide useful input into the design process; sensitivity of cost-quality trade-offs to changes in assumptions regarding functional forms; and implications for preliminary work focused on collection of cost and quality information. In addition, the paper considers distinctions between cost and quality components encountered in field testing and production work, respectively; incorporation of production-level cost and quality information into adaptive design work; as well as costs and operational risks arising from the collection of detailed cost and quality data during production work. The proposed methods are motivated by, and applied to, work with partitioned redesign of the interview and diary components of the U.S. Consumer Expenditure Survey.

    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    A look at how higher prices have affected households, and how consumers are adapting, as well as the impact of higher energy prices on exports and imports.

  • Articles and reports: 11-010-X20050118806
    Geography: Canada
    Description:

    Gasoline's share of consumer incomes rose both because of higher prices and increased consumption. The increase for household fuel was less onerous, as electricity rates have been more restrained. A number of industries, such as farming, forestry and travel are struggling with the rising cost of energy inputs.
