https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2013/12/working-paper-2013-45/
This paper analyzes the effects of an educational system expansion on labour market outcomes, drawing upon a 15-year natural experiment in the Russian Federation. Regional increases in student intake capacities in Russian universities, a result of educational reforms, provide a plausibly exogenous variation in access to higher education.2013-12-13T11:52:56+00:00enExpansion of Higher Education, Employment and Wages: Evidence from the Russian Transition2013-12-13Development economicsLabour marketsWorking Paper 2013-45https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/wp2013-45.pdfExpansion of Higher Education, Employment and Wages: Evidence from the Russian TransitionNatalia KyuiDecember 2013II2I20JJ2J24Unemployment Fluctuations in a Small Open-Economy Model with Segmented Labour Markets: The Case of Canada
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2013/11/working-paper-2013-40/
The recent financial crisis and subsequent recession have spurred great interest in the sources of unemployment fluctuations. Previous studies predominantly assume a single economy-wide labour market, and therefore abstract from differences across sectorspecific labour markets in the economy.2013-11-14T14:32:31+00:00enUnemployment Fluctuations in a Small Open-Economy Model with Segmented Labour Markets: The Case of Canada2013-11-14Business fluctuations and cyclesEconomic modelsLabour marketsWorking Paper 2013-40https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/wp2013-40.pdfUnemployment Fluctuations in a Small Open-Economy Model with Segmented Labour Markets: The Case of CanadaYahong ZhangNovember 2013EE3E32E4E44JJ6Explaining Canada’s Regional Migration Patterns

Understanding the factors that determine the migration of labour between regions is crucial for assessing the economy’s response to macroeconomic shocks and identifying policies that will encourage an efficient reallocation of labour. By examining the determinants of migration within Canada from 1991 to 2006, this article provides evidence that regional differences in employment rates and household incomes tend to increase labour migration, and that provincial borders and language differences are barriers to migration.2013-05-16T07:38:07+00:00enExplaining Canada’s Regional Migration Patterns2013-05-16Asking About Wages: Results from the Bank of Canada’s Wage Setting Survey of Canadian Companies

The Bank of Canada conducted a Wage Setting Survey with a sample of 200 private sector firms from mid-October 2007 to May 2008. Results indicate that wage adjustments for the Canadian non-union private workforce are overwhelmingly time dependent, with a fixed duration of one year, and are clustered in the first four months of the year, suggesting that wage stickiness may not be constant over the year.2013-02-01T13:41:03+00:00enAsking About Wages: Results from the Bank of Canada’s Wage Setting Survey of Canadian Companies2013-02-01Labour marketsMonetary policy transmissionDiscussion Paper 2013-1https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/dp2013-01.pdfAsking About Wages: Results from the Bank of Canada’s Wage Setting Survey of Canadian CompaniesDavid AmiraultPaul FentonThérèse LaflècheFebruary 2013EE2E24JJ3J33MM5M52
