https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/04/staff-working-paper-2023-21/
Using data from patents, citations, inter-sectoral sales and customs, we examine the international diffusion of technology through imports of sectoral knowledge and production inputs. We develop an instrumental variable strategy to identify the causal effects of technology embodied in imports on innovation and diffusion outcomes.2023-04-13T11:00:44+00:00enTrade and Diffusion of Embodied Technology: An Empirical Analysis2023-04-13Development economicsInternational topicsProductivityTrade integrationStaff Working Paper 2023-21https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/swp2023-21.pdfTrade and Diffusion of Embodied Technology: An Empirical AnalysisStephen AyerstFaisal IbrahimGaelan MacKenzieSwapnika RachapalliApril 2023FF1F14F6F61OO1O19O3O31O33Canadians’ Access to Cash Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2021/04/staff-working-paper-2021-18/
How do “cooling measures” in the housing market—policies aimed to stabilize prices—affect the market? We use a structural model of housing demand and price competition among developers to evaluate China’s home purchase restriction policies implemented in 2010–11.2021-04-07T12:30:51+00:00enExamining the Impact of Home Purchase Restrictions on China’s Housing Market2021-04-07HousingMarket structure and pricingStaff Working Paper 2021-18https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/swp2021-18.pdfExamining the Impact of Home Purchase Restrictions on China’s Housing MarketZhentong LuSisi ZhangJian HongApril 2021OO1O18RR3R31R38The Interplay of Financial Education, Financial Literacy, Financial Inclusion and Financial Stability: Any Lessons for the Current Big Tech Era?
https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2020/08/staff-working-paper-2020-32/
The objective of this paper is twofold. First, we assess whether financial education might be a suitable tool to promote the financial inclusion opportunities that big techs provide. Second, we study how this potential financial inclusion could impact financial stability.2020-08-14T09:15:13+00:00enThe Interplay of Financial Education, Financial Literacy, Financial Inclusion and Financial Stability: Any Lessons for the Current Big Tech Era?2020-08-14Development economicsDigital currencies and fintechFinancial marketsFinancial servicesFinancial stabilityStaff Working Paper 2020-32https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/swp2020-32.pdfStaff Working Paper 2020-32Nicole JonkerAnneke KosseAugust 2020DD1D14D9D91D92GG2G21G23OO1O16Technology Adoption in Input-Output Networks
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 2019CC6C61LL2L23L8L86OO1O14O3O33Changing Fortunes: Long-Termism—G-Zero, Artificial Intelligence and Debt

This paper studies the effects of financial development, taking into account both formal and informal financing. Using cross-country firm-level data, we document that informal financing is utilized more by rich countries than poor countries.2018-09-20T16:53:20+00:00enFinancial Development Beyond the Formal Financial Market2018-09-20Financial marketsFirm dynamicsProductivityStaff Working Paper 2018-49https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/swp2018-49.pdfFinancial Development Beyond the Formal Financial MarketLin ShaoSeptember 2018EE4E44OO1O17O4O47
