Book excerpt: This paper examines the determinants of innovation and the role of innovation in productivity growth, shifts in market share, and survival in the Canadian manufacturing sector. It presents a model that examines the effect of innovation on plant performance and plant survival, using a unique data set that allows development of a detailed time profile of plant performance both before & after the introduction of an innovation. Both process innovation and product innovation are considered along with their linkages to labour productivity, survival rates, plant performance, and gain in market share. Relationships between innovation and research & development, technology competencies, and previous innovation & growth are also explored.

Book excerpt: This paper examines the determinants of innovation and the role of innovation in productivity growth, shifts in market share and survival in the Canadian manufacturing sector. The paper presents a model that examines the effect of innovation on plant performance and plant survival. It uses a unique data set that allows us to develop a detailed time profile of plant performance both before and after the introduction of an innovation. We find strong evidence that labour productivity growth is faster and survival rates higher after the introduction of a process innovation. Process innovation is also linked to gain in market shares through its effect on productivity growth. In contrast, product innovation appears to have little impact on plant performance and a negative impact on plant survival. We find that R&D, technology competencies and past innovation are linked to higher rates of innovation. Previous nnovation experience is linked to innovation but previous growth is not.

Book excerpt: This paper investigates how changes in technology use of individual plants in the Canadian manufacturing sector are related to two measures of performance - productivity growth and market-share growth. The paper describes whether plants are adopting new advanced technologies and if they do so, whether they enjoy superior performance in these two areas. It makes use of panel data on advanced technology use from Statistics Canada's 1993 and 1998 advanced manufacturing surveys that are combined with longitudinal data on plant performance. Growth in technology use during the period is significantly associated with relative productivity growth. In turn, growth in relative labour productivity is translated into growth in market share. Plants that improve their production efficiencies or produce higher quality products are able to realize gains in market share. Growth in the use of advanced technologies also had a positive impact on a plant's growth in market share, probably through its impact on product innovation. The market rewards those businesses that managed to improve their efficiency or the quality of their product and concomitantly their labour productivity with an increase in market share. The paper also investigates other plant characteristics that are related to productivity and marketshare growth. R&D is related to market-share growth. The use of information and communications networks for ordering goods and services is associated with higher productivity growth.

Book excerpt: Using state-of-the-art empirical techniques, contributors address the policy challenges raised by globalization, the internet and other technological advances, innovation, and the rise of security measures in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Chapters are organized around five themes: recent developments and policy challenges, Canadian firms in the information age, research and development and innovation, regulation and industrial performance, and securing trade and investment opportunities. The only substantive research volume on this subject in two decades, Industrial Organization in Canada is a welcome resource for policy makers, researchers, and academics concerned with industrial policy issues in contemporary Canada.

Book excerpt: This study of innovation - its intensity, the sources used for knowledge creation, and its impacts - is based on a comprehensive survey of innovation of Canadian manufacturing firms. Attention is paid to the different actors in the system, who both compete with and complement one another. The study investigates how innovation regimes differ across size of firm and across industries. Owing to the high degree of foreign investment in Canada, special attention is paid to the performance of foreign-owned firms. The innovation regime of Canadian innovators is compared with results of studies of other industrialized countries. The picture of a typical innovator is a firm that combines internal resources and external contacts to develop a set of complementary strategies. The study finds that innovating firms depend not only on R&D, but also on ideas and technology from various other sources, both internal and external to the firm.

Book excerpt: Rising income inequality has been at the forefront of public debate in Canada in recent years, yet there is still much to learn about the economic forces driving the distribution of earnings and income in this country and how they might evolve in the future. With research showing that the tax-and-transfer system is losing the ability to counteract income disparity, the need for policy-makers to understand the factors at play is all the more urgent. Income Inequality provides a comprehensive review of Canadian inequality trends, including changing earnings and income dynamics among the middle class and top earners, wage and job polarization across provinces, and persistent poverty among vulnerable groups. The Institute for Research on Public Policy (IRPP), in collaboration with the Canadian Labour Market and Skills Researcher Network (CLSRN), presents new evidence by some of the country’s leading experts on the impact of skills and education, unionization and labour relations laws, as well as the complex interplay of redistributive policies and politics over time. Amid growing anxieties about the economic prospects of the middle class, Income Inequality will serve to inform the public discourse on inequality, an issue that ultimately concerns all Canadians.
