https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/10/staff-discussion-paper-2023-25/
Several measures suggest economic outcomes have improved for Indigenous Peoples in recent decades. Yet, institutional settings and gaps in infrastructure and financing continue to hinder their economic progress. Recent efforts have helped address some data gaps, and new institutions are helping Indigenous communities to overcome historic barriers to growth.2023-10-13T12:25:29+00:00enAn Overview of the Indigenous Economy in Canada2023-10-13Central bank researchDevelopment economicsFinancial servicesLabour marketsMonetary policy transmissionRegional economic developmentsStaff Discussion Paper 2023-25https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/sdp2023-25.pdfAn Overview of the Indigenous Economy in CanadaAlex ChernoffCalista CheungOctober 2023EE0E01E02NN4N41N42OO4O43PP4P48The Bank of Canada COVID‑19 stringency index: measuring policy response across provinces
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/02/staff-analytical-note-2021-1/
We construct an index that systematically measures and tracks the stringency of government policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic across Canadian provinces. Researchers can use this stringency index to analyze how the pandemic is affecting the economy.2021-02-26T14:00:34+00:00enThe Bank of Canada COVID‑19 stringency index: measuring policy response across provinces2021-02-26Can the Business Outlook Survey Help Improve Estimates of the Canadian Output Gap?

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2017/12/staff-analytical-note-2017-26/
This note reviews the channels through which scheduled minimum wage increases over the coming years may affect Canadian economic activity and inflation and assesses their macroeconomic impacts. From reduced-form estimates of direct minimum wage pass-through, we find that consumer price index (CPI) inflation could be boosted by about 0.1 percentage point (pp) on average in 2018.2017-12-29T09:40:59+00:00enThe Impacts of Minimum Wage Increases on the Canadian Economy2017-12-29A Three‐Frequency Dynamic Factor Model for Nowcasting Canadian Provincial GDP Growth

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2009/01/discussion-paper-2009-5/
Commodity prices have increased dramatically and persistently over the past several years, followed by a sharp reversal in recent months. These large and persistent movements in commodity prices raise questions about their implications for global inflation. The process of globalization has motivated much debate over whether global factors have become more important in driving the […]2009-01-29T11:40:39+00:00enAre Commodity Prices Useful Leading Indicators of Inflation?2009-01-29Business fluctuations and cyclesEconomic modelsInflation and pricesInternational topicsMonetary policy transmissionDiscussion Paper 2009-5https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/dp09-5.pdfAre Commodity Prices Useful Leading Indicators of Inflation?Calista CheungJanuary 2009EE3E5E52E58Offshoring and Its Effects on the Labour Market and Productivity: A Survey of Recent Literature
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/cheung.pdf
Offshoring has become an increasingly prominent aspect of the globalization process. Evidence over the past two decades suggests that offshoring has not exerted a noticeable impact on overall employment and earnings growth in advanced economies, but it has likely contributed to shifting the demand for labour towards higher-skilled jobs. There appear to be some positive effects of offshoring on productivity, but such effects differ by country.2008-09-15T14:49:07+00:00enOffshoring and Its Effects on the Labour Market and Productivity: A Survey of Recent Literature2008-09-15The Impact of Emerging Asia on Commodity Prices
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2007/12/working-paper-2007-55/
Over the past 5 years, real energy and non-energy commodity prices have trended sharply higher. These relative price movements have had important implications for inflation and economic activity in both Canada and the rest of the world. China has accounted for the bulk of incremental demand for oil and many base metals over this period.2007-12-01T09:20:50+00:00enThe Impact of Emerging Asia on Commodity Prices2007-12-01Business fluctuations and cyclesInternational topicsWorking Paper 2007-55 https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/wp07-55.pdfThe Impact of Emerging Asia on Commodity PricesSylvie MorinCalista CheungDecember 2007EE3FF4OO1O19QQ1Q11
