https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/12/staff-working-paper-2019-51/
We study how input-output networks affect the speed of technology adoption. In particular, we model the decision to adopt the programming language Python 3 by software packages. Python 3 provides advanced features but is not backward compatible with Python 2, which implies it comes with adoption costs.2019-12-23T15:39:25+00:00enTechnology Adoption in Input-Output Networks2019-12-23Economic modelsFirm dynamicsProductivityStaff Working Paper 2019-51https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/swp2019-51.pdfTechnology Adoption in Input-Output NetworksXintong HanLei XuDecember 2019CC6C61LL2L23L8L86OO1O14O3O33What Do Survey Data Tell Us About US Businesses?

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/10/staff-working-paper-2019-42/
I use firm-product-level data for Canadian online retailers to study how product scope (the average number of product categories per firm) evolved from 1999 to 2012. During this period, product scope dropped monotonically from 59 to 5 product categories.2019-10-02T14:34:41+00:00enAmazon Effects in Canadian Online Retail Firm-Product-Level Data2019-10-02Firm dynamicsService sectorStaff Working Paper 2019-42https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/swp2019-42.pdfAmazon Effects in Canadian Online Retail Firm-Product-Level DataAlex ChernoffOctober 2019DD2D22LL1L11L8L81Trade Flows and Exchange Rates: Importers, Exporters and Products

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2019/01/staff-working-paper-2019-3/
We estimate an aggregate elasticity of substitution between capital and labor near or below one, which implies that capital deepening cannot explain the global decline in labor's share. Our methodology derives from transition paths in the neo-classical growth model.2019-01-14T09:53:44+00:00enCan Capital Deepening Explain the Global Decline in Labor’s Share?2019-01-14Firm dynamicsInternational topicsLabour marketsStaff Working Paper 2019-3https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/swp2019-3.pdfCan Capital Deepening Explain the Global Decline in Labor’s Share?Andrew GloverJacob ShortJanuary 2019EE1E13E2E22E25JJ3
