https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/10/staff-discussion-paper-2023-22/
We explore quantitative and qualitative information about Canadians who face barriers to making digital payments. We also consider the implications of ongoing digitalization for modern financial inclusion and a potential central bank digital currency.2023-10-04T14:28:10+00:00enRedefining Financial Inclusion for a Digital Age: Implications for a Central Bank Digital Currency2023-10-04AccessibilityBank notesCentral bank researchDigital currencies and fintechDigitalizationFinancial servicesStaff Discussion Paper 2023-22https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/sdp2023-22.pdfStaff Discussion Paper 2023-22Alexandra Sutton-LalaniSebastian HernandezJohn MiedemaJiamin DaiBadr OmraneOctober 2023AA1A14EE4E42E5E50II3I31OO3O33O5O51Digitalization: Labour Markets
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/08/staff-discussion-paper-2023-16/
In this paper, the authors assess the relationship between digitalization and labour demand and supply, and how this relationship affects wages and income inequality. We also explore implications of recent digitalization trends for the future of work.2023-08-15T12:00:22+00:00enDigitalization: Labour Markets2023-08-15DigitalizationLabour marketsStaff Discussion Paper 2023-16https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/sdp2023-16.pdfStaff Discussion Paper 2023-16Alex ChernoffGabriela GalassiAugust 2023II2I23JJ2J23J24OO3O33Income Inequality in Canada
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/07/staff-discussion-paper-2022-16/
Data show that income inequality in Canada increased substantially during the 1980s and first half of the 1990s but has been relatively stable over the past 25 years. This increase was felt mainly by low-income earners and younger people, while older people benefited from higher retirement income.2022-07-27T07:13:13+00:00enIncome Inequality in Canada2022-07-27Central bank researchLabour marketsMonetary and financial indicatorsStaff Discussion Paper 2022-16https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/sdp2022-16.pdfIncome Inequality in CanadaSarah BurkinshawYaz TerajimaCarolyn A.

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2022/03/staff-discussion-paper-2022-5/
We assess the impact of COVID-19 on consumption indicators by estimating the effects of government-mandated containment measures and of the willingness of individuals to voluntarily physically distance to prevent contagion.2022-03-18T12:38:53+00:00enCOVID-19, Containment and Consumption2022-03-18Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)Domestic demand and componentsStaff Discussion Paper 2022-5https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/sdp2022-5.pdfCOVID-19, Containment and ConsumptionTatjana DahlhausDaniel HyunAntoine Poulin-MooreJaime TrujilloSaarah SheikhBenjamin StrausMarch 2022CC2C23DD1D12EE6E65II1I18The Geography of Pandemic Containment

Interconnectedness between US states has affected the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic. We study the optimal containment policies regulating the movement of goods and people within and between states.2021-06-10T09:29:23+00:00enThe Geography of Pandemic Containment2021-06-10Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)Economic modelsRegional economic developmentsStaff Working Paper 2021-26https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/swp2021-26.pdfStaff Working Paper 2021-26Elisa GiannoneNuno PaixaoXinle PangJune 2021FF1HH0II1RR1COVID-19 and Implications for Automation

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 2021EE2E24E6E64HH2H20H24H3H32II3I38JJ2J23J3J38The 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 provinces2021-02-26A Macroeconomic Model of an Epidemic with Silent Transmission and Endogenous Self-isolation
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2020/11/staff-working-paper-2020-50/
We study the interaction between epidemics and economic decisions in a model that has silent transmission of the virus. We find that rational behaviour strongly diminishes the severity of the epidemic but worsens the economic recession. We also find that the detection and isolation of not only symptomatic individuals but also those who are infected and asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic can reduce the severity of the recession caused by the pandemic.2020-11-26T14:35:20+00:00enA Macroeconomic Model of an Epidemic with Silent Transmission and Endogenous Self-isolation2020-11-26Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)Economic modelsStaff Working Paper 2020-50https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/swp2020-50.pdfAntonio Diez de los RiosNovember 2020EE1HH0II1Cyclicality of Schooling: New Evidence from Unobserved Components Models
