https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/11/staff-working-paper-2018-57/
We build upon new developments in the international trade literature to isolate and quantify the long-run economic impacts of tariff changes on the United States and the global economy.2018-11-28T14:26:20+00:00enThe Trade War in Numbers2018-11-28Recent economic and financial developmentsTrade integrationStaff Working Paper 2018-57https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/swp2018-57.pdfThe Trade War in NumbersKaryne B.

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/09/staff-working-paper-2018-43/
This paper develops a theoretical framework to infer the nature of fixed costs from the relationship between entry patterns in international markets and destination market size. If fixed costs are at the firm level, firms take advantage of an intrafirm spillover by expanding firm-level product range (scope).2018-09-07T13:22:24+00:00enMarket Size and Entry in International Trade: Product Versus Firm Fixed Costs2018-09-07Firm dynamicsInternational topicsTrade integrationStaff Working Paper 2018-43https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/swp2018-43.pdfMarket Size and Entry in International Trade: Product Versus Firm Fixed CostsWalter SteingressSeptember 2018FF1F12F14F2F23Estimating the Impacts of Tariff Changes: Two Illustrative Scenarios
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/09/staff-analytical-note-2018-29/
We build upon new developments in the international trade literature to construct a quantitative Ricardian framework similar to Caliendo and Parro (2015) to isolate and estimate the long-run economic impacts of tariff changes.2018-09-05T14:41:24+00:00enEstimating the Impacts of Tariff Changes: Two Illustrative Scenarios2018-09-05Responding to the First Era of Globalization: Canadian Trade Policy, 1870–1913
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/08/staff-working-paper-2018-42/
In this paper we document Canada’s trade policy response to late-nineteenth- and earlytwentieth-century globalization. We link newly digitized annual product-specific data on the value of Canadian imports and duties paid from 1870–1913 to establishment-specific production and location information drawn from the manuscripts of the 1871 industrial census.2018-08-27T14:15:38+00:00enResponding to the First Era of Globalization: Canadian Trade Policy, 1870–19132018-08-27Economic modelsInternational topicsTrade integrationStaff Working Paper 2018-42https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/swp2018-42.pdfResponding to the First Era of Globalization: Canadian Trade Policy, 1870–1913Ian KeayPatrick AlexanderAugust 2018FF1F13F14F4F42F6F60NN7N71Weakness in Non-Commodity Exports: Demand versus Supply Factors
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/08/staff-analytical-note-2018-28/
We use the Terms-of-Trade Economic Model (ToTEM) to conduct demand- and supply-driven simulations, both of which deliver weakness in Canadian non-commodity exports relative to foreign activity in line with recent data.2018-08-27T10:33:50+00:00enWeakness in Non-Commodity Exports: Demand versus Supply Factors2018-08-27Characterizing Canada’s Export Sector by Industry: A Supply-Side Perspective
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/08/staff-analytical-note-2018-27/
This note examines supply-side trends in Canadian non-energy industries and their implications for export performance. Between 2002 and 2016, capital stocks and total labour input declined in many industries that export non-energy goods. These soft trends in the factors of production have likely contributed to the decline in non-energy exports in about half of the goods industries analyzed in this note.2018-08-27T10:23:09+00:00enCharacterizing Canada’s Export Sector by Industry: A Supply-Side Perspective2018-08-27Decomposing Canada’s Market Shares: An Update
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/08/staff-analytical-note-2018-26/
Building on the shift-share analysis of Barnett and Charbonneau (2015), this note decomposes Canada’s market shares in the United States, Europe and China for imports of non-energy goods into competitiveness, preference shifts and an interaction term. We find that, despite the depreciation of the dollar, Canada continued to lose market share over 2014–17 (around 0.4 percentage points lost per year on average over four years).2018-08-27T09:50:58+00:00enDecomposing Canada’s Market Shares: An Update2018-08-27What Is Restraining Non-Energy Export Growth?
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/08/staff-analytical-note-2018-25/
This note summarizes the key findings from Bank of Canada staff analytical work examining the reasons for the recent weakness in Canadian non-energy exports. Canada steadily lost market share in US non-energy imports between 2002 and 2017, mostly reflecting continued and broad-based competitiveness losses.2018-08-27T09:08:51+00:00enWhat Is Restraining Non-Energy Export Growth?2018-08-27The Extensive Margin of Trade and Monetary Policy
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/07/staff-working-paper-2018-37/
This paper studies the effects of monetary policy shocks on firms’ participation in exporting. We develop a two-country dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model in which heterogeneous firms
make forward-looking decisions on whether to participate in the export market and prices are staggered across firms and time.2018-07-26T13:00:38+00:00enThe Extensive Margin of Trade and Monetary Policy2018-07-26Business fluctuations and cyclesEconomic modelsFirm dynamicsInternational topicsMonetary policyStaff Working Paper 2018-37https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/swp2018-37.pdfYuko ImuraMalik ShukayevJuly 2018EE5E52FF1F12F4F44Canada’s Experience with Trade Policy
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/01/staff-discussion-paper-2018-1/
This paper compiles the contemporary view on three major Canadian-led trade policies that have marked Canada’s economic history since Confederation: the National Policy (1879), the Canada–US Agreement on Automotive Products (Auto Pact, 1965) and the Canada–US Free Trade Agreement (FTA, 1989, including its extension to the North American Free Trade Agreement, NAFTA, 1994).2018-01-09T14:06:49+00:00enCanada’s Experience with Trade Policy2018-01-09International topicsTrade integrationStaff Discussion Paper 2018-1https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/sdp2018-1.pdfCanada’s Experience with Trade PolicyKaryne B.
