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 2017FF1F14F17OO1O10Firm Heterogeneity, Technological Adoption, and Urbanization: Theory and Measurement
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2017/07/staff-working-paper-2017-27/
This paper develops a model of firm heterogeneity, technological adoption, and urbanization. In the model, welfare is measured by household real income, and urbanization is measured by population density. I use the model to derive statistics that measure the effect of a new technology on productivity, welfare, and urbanization.2017-07-19T16:46:02+00:00enFirm Heterogeneity, Technological Adoption, and Urbanization: Theory and Measurement2017-07-19Economic modelsProductivityRegional economic developmentsStaff Working Paper 2017-27https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/swp2017-27.pdfFirm Heterogeneity, Technological Adoption, and Urbanization: Theory and MeasurementAlex ChernoffJuly 2017NN6N61OO1O14RR1R13The Digital Economy

Digital technologies—cloud computing, the Internet of Things, advanced robotics, big data analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning, social media, 3D printing, augmented reality, virtual reality, e-money and distributed ledgers—are transforming the way busi-nesses operate. How does this transformation compare with past industrial revolutions? How are digital technologies changing production systems across industries? Agile firms that use knowledge intensively and have high levels of both organizational and human capital appear set to realize the greatest benefits from digitalization. Finally, what are the implications for productivity, labour markets, inflation and monetary policy as we transition to the digital economy?2017-05-11T10:30:31+00:00enThe Digital Economy2017-05-11Wholesale Funding of the Big Six Canadian Banks

The Big Six Canadian banks are a dominant component of the Canadian financial system. How they finance their business activities is fundamental to how effective they are. Retail and commercial deposits along with wholesale funding represent the two major sources of funds for Canadian banks. What wholesale funding instruments do the Big Six banks use? How do they choose between different funding sources, funding strategies and why? How have banks changed their funding mix since the 2007–09 global financial crisis?2017-05-11T10:27:11+00:00enWholesale Funding of the Big Six Canadian Banks2017-05-11
