https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/11/staff-working-paper-2023-57/
Using U.S. county-level data from 1990 to 2010, we study the causal impact of immigration on the provision of local public goods. We uncover substantial heterogeneity across immigrants with different skills and immigrants of different generations, which leads to unequal fiscal effects across U.S. counties.2023-11-24T14:53:52+00:00enImmigration and Provision of Public Goods: Evidence at the Local Level in the U.S.2023-11-24Fiscal policyInternational topicsRegional economic developmentsStaff Working Paper 2023-57https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/swp2023-57.pdfImmigration and Provision of Public Goods: Evidence at the Local Level in the U.S.Anna Maria MaydaMine Z.

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/11/staff-discussion-paper-2023-28/
This paper develops a travel-based metric to measure Canadians’ access to cash from automated banking machines (ABMs) and financial institution branches. We find that, overall, access to cash remained stable between 2019 and 2022. The total number of ABMs in Canada increased by 3.7% and the total number of branches decreased by 5.2% during that period.2023-11-16T14:45:18+00:00enHow Far Do Canadians Need to Travel to Access Cash?2023-11-16Bank notesFinancial servicesRegional economic developmentsStaff Discussion Paper 2023-28https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/sdp2023-28.pdfHow Far Do Canadians Need to Travel to Access Cash?Heng ChenDaneal O’HabibHongyu XiaoNovember 2023GG2G21JJ1J15RR5R51An Overview of the Indigenous Economy in Canada
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 2023EE0E01E02NN4N41N42OO4O43PP4P48Canada’s regional economies

https://www.bankofcanada.ca/2023/06/staff-working-paper-2023-34/
We propose a model to understand low observed migration rates by considering the interaction between location and wealth decisions. We look at different policies and find that temporary moving vouchers only slightly increase welfare, while lower housing regulations can decrease the welfare gap by lowering house prices nationwide.2023-06-12T10:32:23+00:00enUnpacking Moving: A Quantitative Spatial Equilibrium Model with Wealth2023-06-12HousingRegional economic developmentsStaff Working Paper 2023-34https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/swp2023-34.pdfStaff Working Paper 2023-34Elisa GiannoneQi LiNuno PaixaoXinle PangJune 2023GG5G51RR1R12R13R2R3R31R5R52Canadians’ Access to Cash Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic

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 Reference Guide for the Business Outlook Survey
