https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2017/11/staff-discussion-paper-2017-15/
Chinese real export growth decelerated considerably during the last decade. This paper argues that the slowdown largely resulted from China moving to a more sophisticated mix of exports: China produced more sophisticated goods over which it had pricing power instead of producing greater volumes of less sophisticated products.2017-11-22T11:46:13+00:00enProduct Sophistication and the Slowdown in Chinese Export Growth2017-11-22Development economicsExchange ratesInternational topicsStaff Discussion Paper 2017-15https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/sdp2017-15.pdfProduct Sophistication and the Slowdown in Chinese Export GrowthMark KrugerWalter SteingressSri ThanabalasingamNovember 2017FF1F14F17OO1O10The Causal Impact of Migration on US Trade: Evidence from Political Refugees
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2017/11/staff-working-paper-2017-49/
Immigrants can increase international trade by shifting preferences towards the goods of their country of origin and by reducing bilateral transaction costs. Using geographical variation across U.S. states for the period 2008 to 2013, I estimate the respective causal impact of immigrants on U.S. exports and imports.2017-11-20T10:27:28+00:00enThe Causal Impact of Migration on US Trade: Evidence from Political Refugees2017-11-20International topicsRegional economic developmentsStaff Working Paper 2017-49https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/swp2017-49.pdfThe Causal Impact of Migration on US Trade: Evidence from Political RefugeesWalter SteingressNovember 2017FF1F14F2F22JJ6J61Global Trade Flows: Revisiting the Exchange Rate Elasticities
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2017/09/staff-working-paper-2017-41/
This paper contributes to the debate on the magnitude of exchange rate elasticities by providing a set of price and quantity elasticities for 51 advanced and emerging-market economies. Specifically, for each of these countries we report the elasticity of trade prices and trade quantities on both the export and on the import sides, as well as the reaction of the trade balance.2017-09-29T13:16:42+00:00enGlobal Trade Flows: Revisiting the Exchange Rate Elasticities2017-09-29Exchange ratesInflation and pricesInternational topicsStaff Working Paper 2017-41https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/swp2017-41.pdfGlobal Trade Flows: Revisiting the Exchange Rate ElasticitiesMatthieu BussièreGuillaume GaulierWalter SteingressSeptember 2017CC5C51FF1F14F3F31F33F4F41The Welfare Effects of Protection: A General Equilibrium Analysis of Canada’s National Policy
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2017/05/staff-working-paper-2017-18/
In this paper, we study the impact of Canada’s adoption of protectionist trade policy in 1879 on Canadian welfare. Under the National Policy the Canadian average weighted tariff increased from 14% to 21%. The conventional view is that this was a distortionary policy that negatively affected Canadian welfare.2017-05-16T09:44:03+00:00enThe Welfare Effects of Protection: A General Equilibrium Analysis of Canada’s National Policy2017-05-16Economic modelsInternational topicsTrade integrationStaff Working Paper 2017-18https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/swp2017-18.pdfThe Welfare Effects of Protection: A General Equilibrium Analysis of Canada’s National PolicyPatrick AlexanderIan KeayMay 2017FF1F13F14F4F42F6F60NN7N71Vertical Specialization and Gains from Trade
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2017/04/staff-working-paper-2017-17/
Multi-stage production is widely recognized as an important feature of the modern global economy. This feature has been incorporated into many state-of-the-art quantitative trade models, and has been shown to deliver significant additional gains from international trade.2017-04-20T13:57:59+00:00enVertical Specialization and Gains from Trade2017-04-20Economic modelsInternational topicsTrade integrationStaff Working Paper 2017-17https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/swp2017-17.pdfVertical Specialization and Gains from TradePatrick AlexanderApril 2017FF1F11F14F6F60Global Real Activity for Canadian Exports: GRACE
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2017/01/staff-discussion-paper-2017-2/
Canadian exports have often disappointed since the Great Recession. The apparent disconnect between exports and the Bank of Canada’s current measure of foreign demand has created an impetus to search for an alternative.2017-01-18T10:00:24+00:00enGlobal Real Activity for Canadian Exports: GRACE2017-01-18Balance of payments and componentsEconometric and statistical methodsExchange ratesStaff Discussion Paper 2017-2https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/sdp2017-2.pdfGlobal Real Activity for Canadian Exports: GRACEAndré BinetteTony ChernisDaniel de MunnikJanuary 2017FF1F10F14F4F43An Improved Equation for Predicting Canadian Non-Commodity Exports
