The first part analyzes the sector in seven sections, each of which outlines a different thread related to sectoral performance: the presence of manufacturing industries in the Canadian economy, labour productivity in Canada and in comparison with other countries, employment performance, destinations of manufacturing shipments, production costs, and capital investment by industrial group. The second & final part attempts to explain the similarities & differences found in the performance of individual industries described in part one. It reports on the use of advanced technologies, summarizes connectedness in manufacturing, discusses innovation and human capital issues, and notes major challenges faced by the sector.

Book excerpt: "This paper examines the challenges that the manufacturing sector has faced over the last half century--focusing on both long- and short-term performance. It first examines whether there is evidence that this sector is in long-term decline. The paper also investigates how the industry has responded to specific shocks during this period--from exchange-rate movements, trade liberalization and business cycles."--Document.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The waning of the commodity boom places renewed emphasis on manufacturing as an engine for Canadian growth. However, Canadian manufacturing exports have been relatively stagnant since 2000. While the exchange rate depreciation over the past two years has energized export growth, the response has not been as strong as would have been expected given the size of the depreciation. More fundamental issues appear to be impeding the growth of the Canadian manufacturing sector. This study analyzes the structural factors behind export competitiveness by using unique Canadian data on exports, which are disaggregated both by province and by product. Matching exports to similarly disaggregated data on R&D, the capital stock and other supply-side variables, we find that these variables significantly affect export growth, beyond the impact of the exchange rate. In particular, investment in R&D, capital infrastructure and vocational training improves innovation and production capacity. These results are robust to a factor-augmented approach that controls for multicollinearity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper measures job change in the Canadian manufacturing sector during the 1970s and early 1980s. Change in the Canadian economy constantly transfers resources from one use to another. Most previous studies have focused on the extent of interindustry relocation. This paper investigates the degree to which employment is redistributed between producing units in the Canadian manufacturing sector because some firms grow and others decline. In doing so, it examines both the job change that is associated with entry and exit and that which occurs as incumbent firms grow and decline. The associated redistribution of employment is the result of both interindustry and intraindustry shifts in relative firm size. In investigating job or position change, the paper focuses on two issues. The first is the magnitude of the adjustment that the economy has absorbed in the past. By doing so, it provides a benchmark against which anticipated changes from such causes as trade liberalization can be measured in the future. The second issue is whether there is a pattern to the adjustment process. Several questions are examined. Is there a normal or usual rate of job turnover? Does adjustment come primarily on the contraction (lob loss) or the expansion (job gain) side? How does the division between these two change during periods of recession? What is the difference between the amount of adjustment that occurs as a result of entry and exit, as opposed to growth and decline, in the continuing segment? How does the process differ in the short, as opposed to the long run? The answers to these questions are then used to characterize the nature of the adjustment process that is normally at work in the Canadian manufacturing sector.
