https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2009/07/working-paper-2009-21/
Real wage rigidities have recently been proposed as a way of building intrinsic persistence in inflation within the context of New Keynesian Phillips Curves. Using two recent illustrative structural models, we evaluate empirically the importance of real wage rigidities in the data and the extent to which such models provide useful information regarding price stickiness.2009-07-12T15:38:01+00:00enStructural Inflation Models with Real Wage Rigidities: The Case of Canada2009-07-12Econometric and statistical methodsInflation and pricesLabour marketsWorking Paper 2009-21 https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/wp09-21.pdfStructural Inflation Models with Real Wage Rigidities: The Case of CanadaJean-Marie DufourLynda KhalafMaral KichianJuly 2009CC1C13C5C52EE3E31Strengthening IMF Surveillance: An Assessment of Recent Reforms

The authors assess the potential impact of recently approved reforms to International Monetary Fund (IMF) surveillance; namely, the "2007 Decision on Bilateral Surveillance Over Members' Policies" and the "Statement of Surveillance Priorities" (SSP). They conclude that these complementary reforms have the potential to create a comprehensive and coherent framework for IMF surveillance.

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2009/07/discussion-paper-2009-9/
The dramatic reduction in global demand, and the decline in the spot price of crude oil in the second half of last year, may have significant implications for the future supply of oil. Investments in conventional methods of extraction have been constrained, since easily accessible oil reserves are typically concentrated in countries with geopolitical uncertainty and/or state-run oil companies.2009-07-01T09:42:18+00:00enThe Outlook for the Global Supply of Oil: Running on Faith?2009-07-01Business fluctuations and cyclesInflation and pricesInternational topicsDiscussion Paper 2009-9https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/dp09-9.pdfThe Outlook for the Global Supply of Oil: Running on Faith?Olivier GervaisIlan KoletJuly 2009QQ4Q41Q43The Role of Convenience and Risk in Consumers' Means of Payment
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2009/07/discussion-paper-2009-8/
Using data from a 2004 survey of the Canadian public, the authors study the role of convenience and risk in consumers' use of cash relative to debit and credit cards. The authors find that consumers who perceive debit cards and credit cards to be more convenient and less risky than cash use them more frequently.2009-07-01T06:00:00+00:00enThe Role of Convenience and Risk in Consumers' Means of Payment2009-07-01Bank notesDiscussion Paper 2009-8https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/dp09-8.pdfThe Role of Convenience and Risk in Consumers’ Means of PaymentCarlos ArangoVarya TaylorJuly 2009EE4E41LL2
