https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/10/staff-working-paper-2021-49/
Although the number of job applications has risen, job-finding rates remain relatively unchanged while job-separation rates have significantly declined. Rather than raising the probability of finding a job, we find that a rise in applications raises the probability of finding a good match, as evidenced by the decline in separation rates.2021-10-12T15:46:40+00:00enJob Applications and Labour Market Flows2021-10-12Labour marketsProductivityStaff Working Paper 2021-49https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/swp2021-49.pdfStaff Working Paper 2021-49Serdar BirinciKurt SeeShu Lin WeeOctober 2021EE2E24JJ6J63J64Assessing Labour Market Slack for Monetary Policy
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/10/staff-discussion-paper-2021-15/
Measuring labour market slack is essential for central banks: without full employment in the economy, inflation will not stay close to target. We propose a comprehensive approach to assessing labour market slack that reflects the complexity and diversity of the labour market.2021-10-06T10:00:14+00:00enAssessing Labour Market Slack for Monetary Policy2021-10-06Business fluctuations and cyclesCoronavirus disease (COVID-19)Econometric and statistical methodsLabour marketsMonetary policyErik EnsLaurence Savoie-ChabotKurt SeeShu Lin WeeOctober 2021EE2E24JJ2J21J6From He-Cession to She-Stimulus? The Labor Market Impact of Fiscal Policy Across Gender
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/09/staff-working-paper-2021-42/
The effects of fiscal policy shocks on labour market outcomes across gender depend on the type of public expenditure. Women benefit most from increases in the government wage bill, while men are the main beneficiaries of higher investment spending.2021-09-10T08:51:03+00:00enFrom He-Cession to She-Stimulus?

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/08/staff-analytical-note-2021-18/
Digital technologies have helped maintain economic activity while allowing people to remain physically distant throughout the COVID-19 crisis. This note shows that the number of online postings for jobs related to the production of digital technologies in Canada decreased less than the number for other jobs and recovered more quickly after lockdowns were lifted.2021-08-17T11:28:36+00:00enCanadian job postings in digital sectors during COVID-192021-08-17Exploring the potential benefits of inflation overshooting
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/07/staff-analytical-note-2021-16/
After a period with the interest rate at the effective lower bound, temporarily overshooting inflation may offer important economic benefits. This may be especially true for vulnerable segments of the population, such as workers with low attachment to the labour force and the long-term unemployed.2021-07-20T09:26:46+00:00enExploring the potential benefits of inflation overshooting2021-07-20COVID-19 and Implications for Automation

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/04/staff-working-paper-2021-20/
We use four decades of Canadian matched employer-employee data to explore how inequality and the dynamics of individual earnings have evolved over time in Canada. We also examine how the earnings growth of individuals is related to the growth of their employers.2021-04-29T10:53:01+00:00enFour Decades of Canadian Earnings Inequality and Dynamics Across Workers and Firms2021-04-29Econometric and statistical methodsFirm dynamicsLabour marketsPotential outputProductivityStaff Working Paper 2021-20https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/swp2021-20.pdfFour Decades of Canadian Earnings Inequality and Dynamics Across Workers and FirmsAudra BowlusÉmilien Gouin-BonenfantHuju LiuLance LochnerYoungmin ParkApril 2021DD2D22D3D31EE2E24JJ2J24J3J31J6J63Adoption of Digital Technologies: Insights from a Global Survey Initiative

Firms are at the forefront of adopting new technology. Using survey data from a global network of central banks, we assess the effects of digitalization on firms’ pricing and employment decisions.2021-04-12T14:00:30+00:00enAdoption of Digital Technologies: Insights from a Global Survey Initiative2021-04-12Firm dynamicsInflation and pricesLabour marketsJames FudurichLena SuchanekLise PichetteApril 2021DD2D22EE3E31JJ2J21OO3O33Trade and Market Power in Product and Labor Markets
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/04/staff-working-paper-2021-17/
Trade liberalizations increase the sales and input purchases of productive firms relative to their less productive domestic competitors. This reallocation affects firms’ market power in their product and input markets. I quantify how the labour market power of employers affects the distribution and size of the gains from trade.2021-04-07T11:15:08+00:00enTrade and Market Power in Product and Labor Markets2021-04-07Economic modelsLabour marketsMarket structure and pricingProductivityTrade integrationStaff Working Paper 2021-17https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/swp2021-17.pdfStaff Working Paper 2021-17Gaelan MacKenzieApril 2021DD4D43FF1F12F6JLL1L13Labor Demand Response to Labor Supply Incentives: Lessons from the German Mini-Job Reform
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/03/staff-working-paper-2021-15/
How do firms change their employment decisions when tax benefits for low-earning workers are expanded? Some firms increase employment overall, whereas others replace high-earning workers with low-earning workers, according to German linked employer-employee data.2021-03-29T11:30:36+00:00enLabor Demand Response to Labor Supply Incentives: Lessons from the German Mini-Job Reform2021-03-29Economic modelsFirm dynamicsLabour marketsStaff Working Paper 2021-15https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/swp2021-15.pdfStaff Working Paper 2021-15Gabriela GalassiMarch 2021EE2E24E6E64HH2H20H24H3H32II3I38JJ2J23J3J38
