https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/04/staff-analytical-note-2019-12/
We use a recently developed model and loan-level microdata to decompose movements in housing resales since 2015. We find that fundamental factors, namely housing affordability and full-time employment, have had offsetting effects on resales over our study period.2019-04-17T11:16:02+00:00enDisentangling the Factors Driving Housing Resales2019-04-17The Neutral Rate in Canada: 2019 Update
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/04/staff-analytical-note-2019-11/
This note provides an update on Bank of Canada staff’s assessment of the Canadian neutral rate. The neutral rate is the policy rate needed to keep output at its potential level and inflation at target once the effects of any cyclical shocks have dissipated. This medium- to long-run concept serves as a benchmark for gauging the degree of monetary stimulus provided by a given policy setting.2019-04-17T11:12:06+00:00enThe Neutral Rate in Canada: 2019 Update2019-04-17Potential Output in Canada: 2019 Reassessment
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/04/staff-analytical-note-2019-10/
Potential output is expected to grow on average at 1.8 per cent over 2019–21 and at 1.9 per cent in 2022. While the contribution of trend labour input to potential output growth is expected to decrease between 2019 and 2022, the contribution of trend labour productivity is projected to increase.2019-04-17T11:03:16+00:00enPotential Output in Canada: 2019 Reassessment2019-04-17
