Standard new trade models depict producers as heterogeneous in total factor productivity. In this paper, I adapt the Eaton and Kortum (2002) model of international trade to incorporate tradable intermediate goods and producer heterogeneity in value-added productivity.2016-12-08T13:55:18+00:00enProducer Heterogeneity, Value-Added, and International Trade2016-12-08Economic modelsInternational topicsProductivityTrade integrationStaff Working Paper 2016-54https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/swp2016-54.pdfProducer Heterogeneity, Value-Added, and International TradePatrick AlexanderDecember 2016FF1F11F12F14From Hewers of Wood to Hewers of Code: Canada’s Expanding Service Economy

The degree to which financial constraint is binding is often not directly observable in commonly used business data sets (e.g., Compustat). In this paper, we measure and estimate the likelihood of a firm being constrained by external financing using a data set of small- and medium-sized Canadian firms.2016-09-28T09:42:23+00:00enFinancial Constraint and Productivity: Evidence from Canadian SMEs2016-09-28Firm dynamicsProductivityStaff Working Paper 2016-44https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/swp2016-44.pdfFinancial Constraint and Productivity: Evidence from Canadian SMEsShutao CaoDanny LeungSeptember 2016DD2D24GG3G32LL2L25Un examen plus approfondi des pressions salariales au Canada

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2016/04/staff-analytical-note-2016-4/
This note summarizes the Bank of Canada’s 2016 annual reassessment of potential output growth, which is projected to be 1.5 per cent over 2016–18 and 1.6 per cent in 2019–20.

This paper addresses this question by examining the evolution of the supply side of the Chinese economy over history and projecting how it will evolve over the next 15 years.2016-04-05T08:27:03+00:00enHow Fast Can China Grow?
