https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2007/12/working-paper-2007-58/
Since the advent of standard national accounts data over 60 years ago, economists have traditionally relied on monthly or quarterly data supplied by central statistical agencies for macroeconomic modelling and forecasting.2007-12-04T09:55:01+00:00enElectronic Transactions as High-Frequency Indicators of Economic Activity2007-12-04Business fluctuations and cyclesWorking Paper 2007-58 https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/wp07-58.pdfElectronic Transactions as High-Frequency Indicators of Economic ActivityJohn GalbraithGreg TkaczDecember 2007EE1E17E2E27E6E66Uncertainty and the Specificity of Human Capital
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2007/12/working-paper-2007-57/
This paper studies the choice between general and specific human capital. A trade-off arises because general human capital, while less productive, can easily be reallocated across firms.2007-12-03T09:36:41+00:00enUncertainty and the Specificity of Human Capital2007-12-03Economic modelsWorking Paper 2007-57 https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/wp07-57.pdfUncertainty and the Specificity of Human CapitalMartin GervaisIgor LivshitsCésaire MehDecember 2007DD9D92JJ2J24J4J41J6J62Estimation and Inference by the Method of Projection Minimum Distance
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2007/12/working-paper-2007-56/
A covariance-stationary vector of variables has a Wold representation whose coefficients can be semi-parametrically estimated by local projections (Jordà, 2005). Substituting the Wold representations for variables in model expressions generates restrictions that can be used by the method of minimum distance to estimate model parameters.2007-12-02T09:26:00+00:00enEstimation and Inference by the Method of Projection Minimum Distance2007-12-02Econometric and statistical methodsWorking Paper 2007-56 https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/wp07-56.pdfEstimation and Inference by the Method of Projection Minimum DistanceÒscar JordàSharon KozickiDecember 2007CC3C32C5C53EE4E47The Impact of Emerging Asia on Commodity Prices
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2007/12/working-paper-2007-55/
Over the past 5 years, real energy and non-energy commodity prices have trended sharply higher. These relative price movements have had important implications for inflation and economic activity in both Canada and the rest of the world. China has accounted for the bulk of incremental demand for oil and many base metals over this period.2007-12-01T09:20:50+00:00enThe Impact of Emerging Asia on Commodity Prices2007-12-01Business fluctuations and cyclesInternational topicsWorking Paper 2007-55 https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/wp07-55.pdfThe Impact of Emerging Asia on Commodity PricesSylvie MorinCalista CheungDecember 2007EE3FF4OO1O19QQ1Q11
