Book Description
"The high standard of living that Canadians enjoy is dependent, in part, on Canada's involvement in global trade. About one third of exports and over a quarter of imports by value are transported by water. Shipping is vital to the competitiveness of Canadian commodity exports and is a lynchpin in many Canadian supply chains. In addition to its economic value, shipping is also critical to coastal community survival and food security in the Arctic, as it is often the only source of food and other supplies for Canada's most northern communities. Current trends in technology, climate change, emerging markets, and other factors, however, may influence the value of commercial marine shipping in the future. This assessment will explore the extent of both economic and social value of shipping on Canada and its regions while also looking at how shipping trends now underway might affect Canadian marine shipping activity in the future. Question What is the social and economic value of commercial marine shipping to Canada and its regions? How will global trends related to shipping affect future shipping activity in Canada?--

Book Description
In 1988 a committee under the auspices of the roads and transportation association of canada began work on a study aimed at defining a national highways policy for canada (see phase 1 report, irrd 807292). one component of the first phase of the study established minimum design and operational standards for a national highway system. this report documents one task of the second phase of the study: an assessment of the benefits which would accrue to the national economy as a result of a program to improve the national highway system to meet the criteria identified in phase 1. an econometric model was used to assess the inter-relationships between detailed demands on the economy, output and employment of producers, prices of producers, and prices as they are finally faced by consumers as households, investors and governments. the cumulative benefits of the national highway program over the time period 1991-2000 are estimated to be in the range of $9.8 billion to $14.4 billion, with estimated employment impacts ranging from 18.9 to 186.9 thousand person years over the same time frame. the report presents a detailed description of the method of analysis and results.

Book Description
In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
