Two themes are covered: the link between productivity and living standards; the relationship between theory and measurement in light of the widespread use of the concept of multifactor productivity. Chapter 3 discusses the empirical literature on the determinants or drivers of productivity growth including investment, education and training, innovation, diffusion, and the broader context in which productivity growth is set. Chapter 4 deals with the prospects for future productivity growth in Canada. Chapter 5 concludes with a discussion of how traditional economic policies should account for potential productivity effects.

The objective of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of knowledge in the productivity field for policy makers and the general public interested in economic issues. Section one provides an overview of the fundamentals of productivity, with basic data on productivity trends and a review of the definition and measurement of productivity. Section two examines the determinants of productivity growth, including such factors as the natural resource base, industrial structure and intersectoral shifts, capital accumulation, technological change, labour quality, and the macro- and micro-economic environments. Section three synthesizes several of the key debates in the productivity literature, examining the productivity or computer paradox, the relationship between employment and productivity, and the link between productivity and international competitiveness. Section four briefly looks at actions and policies to improve productivity, with particular reference to ways to increase physical investment, develop human capital, and foster technological progress. Appendices include discussion of frameworks for analyzing productivity growth, additional issues in the productivity literature, and statistical and conceptual issues in productivity measurement.

This paper compares the productivity growth of a set of Canadian and U.S. regulated industries. Using data from Statistics Canada's KLEMS database and the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the paper examines productivity growth in transportation services (which includes air and rail), broadcasting and telecommunications, and financial services (which includes financial intermediation and insurance), over the period from 1977 to 2003. The majority of these provide the foundational networks on which other industries rely. These sectors were quite heavily regulated in Canada at the beginning of the period of study (1977), experienced partial deregulation during the period and still faced various types of regulation at the end (2003). Deregulation also occurred in the United States, but regulation has generally been less restrictive there over most of the period. The evidence shows that many of the Canadian industries that underwent deregulation experienced faster labour productivity growth and multifactor productivity growth than did the aggregate Canadian business sector and had similar or higher productivity growth than did their counterparts in the United States over the 1977-to-2003 period. Those industries include rail transportation, broadcasting and telecommunications, financial intermediation and insurance carriers. The airline industry had slower productivity growth in Canada than in the United States over the 1977-to-2003 period.

This paper assesses productivity trends in Canada vis-a-vis the United States from two perspectives. The first one is based on estimates of total factor productivity. The second one decomposes productivity growth into two sources: investment-specific technical change, associated with improvements in the quality of the capital stock, and neutral technical change, associated with the organization of productive activities. The results indicate that investment-specific technical change is the major underlying cause of the pickup in productivity in Canada and the narrowing of the productivity gap with the United States.
