Inter-industry and U.S. R&D Spillovers, Canadian Industrial Production and Productivity Growth

📖 The Scoop

This study is an extension of a 1994 paper by the author (the main parts of which have been published as Bernstein 1996 and 1997), which considers domestic, inter-industry spillovers in conjunction with U.S. intra-industry spillovers. This study examines the effects of spillovers on average variable cost, input-output ratios or factor intensities of labour, intermediate inputs, physical and R & D capital, and productivity growth rates for 11 Canadian industries over the period from 1966 to 1991. The 11 industries under consideration are chemical products, electrical products, food and beverage, fabricated metals, non-electrical machinery, non-metallic minerals, paper and allied products, petroleum products, primary metals, rubber and plastics, and transportation equipment.
