https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/10/staff-discussion-paper-2018-11/
The size of China’s financial system raises the possibility that the liberalization of its capital account could have a large effect on the global financial system. This paper provides a counterfactual scenario analysis that estimates what the size and direction of China’s overseas portfolio investments would have been in 2015 if China had had no restrictions on these outflows.2018-10-03T08:17:42+00:00enThe Size and Destination of China’s Portfolio Outflows2018-10-03Balance of payments and componentsEconometric and statistical methodsInternational topicsStaff Discussion Paper 2018-11https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/sdp2018-11.pdfThe Size and Destination of China’s Portfolio OutflowsRose CunninghamEden HatzviKun MoOctober 2018CC2C23FF2F21F3F32GG1G15Market Size and Entry in International Trade: Product Versus Firm Fixed Costs
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 2018FF1F12F14F2F23Does Outward Foreign Investment Matter for Canadian Productivity? Evidence from Greenfield Investments
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/07/staff-working-paper-2018-31/
This paper seeks to understand how outward foreign direct investment (FDI) affects the productivity of Canadian firms. We estimate the impact of outward greenfield investment on measures of firm-level productivity using FDI data from roughly 2,000 Canadian firms and more than 4,000 outward FDI projects over the 2003–14 period.2018-07-16T15:46:51+00:00enDoes Outward Foreign Investment Matter for Canadian Productivity?

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/05/staff-working-paper-2018-19/
In this paper we study the impact of immigration to the United States on the vote for the Republican Party by analyzing county-level data on election outcomes between 1990 and 2010. Our main contribution is to separate the effect of high-skilled and low-skilled immigrants, by exploiting the different geography and timing of the inflows of these two groups of immigrants.2018-05-08T08:44:15+00:00enThe Political Impact of Immigration: Evidence from the United States2018-05-08International topicsLabour marketsStaff Working Paper 2018-19https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/swp2018-19.pdfThe Political Impact of Immigration: Evidence from the United StatesAnna Maria MaydaGiovanni PeriWalter SteingressMay 2018FF2F22JJ6J61Capital-Goods Imports and US Growth
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2018/01/staff-working-paper-2018-1/
Capital-goods imports have become an increasing source of growth for the U.S. economy. To understand this phenomenon, we build a neoclassical growth model with international trade in capital goods in which agents face exogenous paths of total factor and investment-specific productivity measures.2018-01-04T08:09:46+00:00enCapital-Goods Imports and US Growth2018-01-04ProductivityTrade integrationStaff Working Paper 2018-1https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/swp2018-1.pdfCapital-Goods Imports and US GrowthMichele CavalloAnthony LandryJanuary 2018EE2FF2F4OO3O4
