https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/boc-review-autumn16-bailliu.pdf
Growth has slowed in many emerging-market economies (EMEs) since the 2007–09 global financial crisis, reflecting both cyclical and structural factors. In this context, it will be in-creasingly important for EMEs to raise potential growth by maintaining steady progress on structural reforms. How do structural reforms generally support growth? What are the re-form priorities for EMEs over recent history and today? Finally, what will be the impact of planned structural reforms on potential output growth among the world’s larger EMEs? These are some of the questions considered by the authors.2016-11-17T12:22:46+00:00enStructural Reforms and Economic Growth in Emerging-Market Economies2016-11-17Commodity Price Supercycles: What Are They and What Lies Ahead?

Because commodity prices help determine Canada’s terms of trade, employment, income and, ultimately, inflation, it is important to understand what causes them to fluctuate. Since the early 1900s, there have been four commodity price supercycles—which we define as extended periods of boom and bust that can take decades to complete. Now in its downswing phase, the current supercycle started after growth in China and other emerging-market economies in the mid-1990s resulted in an unexpected demand shock. The extent of this downswing depends on numerous factors that are presently uncertain.2016-11-17T12:18:52+00:00enCommodity Price Supercycles: What Are They and What Lies Ahead?2016-11-17Wood, Wheat, Wheels and the Web: Historical Pivots and Future Prospects for Canadian Exports

Using a novel data set for 17 countries dating from 1900 to 2013, we characterize business cycles in both small developed and developing countries in a model with financial frictions and a common shock structure. We estimate the model jointly for these 17 countries using Bayesian methods.2016-11-01T15:18:47+00:00enBusiness Cycles in Small, Open Economies: Evidence from Panel Data Between 1900 and 20132016-11-01Business fluctuations and cyclesEconomic modelsInternational topicsStaff Working Paper 2016-48https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/swp2016-48.pdfBusiness Cycles in Small, Open Economies: Evidence from Panel Data Between 1900 and 2013Thuy Lan NguyenWataru MiyamotoNovember 2016EE1E13E3E32FF4F41F44
