Book Description
The objective of this paper is to provide a statistical overview of Canadian universities' research and development (R&D) activities and commercialization undertakings. Section 2 discusses the role of universities in Canada's national R&D effort, including a depiction of trends in R&D investment by universities and other R&D performers in Canada and in other countries, an examination of the sources of funds for university research, and the identification of fields of research in universities compared to other R&D- performing sectors of the economy. Section 3 describes the output or economic benefits of university R&D. These include the contribution to the stock of scientific and technical knowledge; the training of skilled personnel; and the commercialization of intellectual property. Section 4 discusses the choice between licensing to an existing firm or starting a new company. Section 5 provides a brief discussion of the nature and profile of university-industry partnerships which help facilitate the effective transfer of technology.

Commerce International, Le Commerce Interprovincial Et la Croissance Des Provinces Canadiennes
Author: Serge Coulombe
Publisher: Canadian Museum of Civilization/Musee Canadien Des Civilisations
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
This paper provides an empirical analysis of the comparative evolution of interprovincial & international trade and their effects on regional growth for the Canadian provinces since 1981. It first establishes the trend in the relationship between the ratios of interprovincial & international trade to gross domestic product, revealing a sharp break that occurred around 1991. The analysis casts doubt on the pure diversion model often used in trade modelling. The second part uses a conditional convergence-growth model to estimate the respective long-run effects of interprovincial & international trade on Canadian regional economies, specifically in relation to productivity, relative gross domestic product per capita, and job creation. The final chapter discusses implications of the results for regional economies & economic policy issues.

Déterminants Économiques de L'innovation

Publisher: Industrie Canada
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
This paper explores what economists know about the economics of innovation. It identifies key empirical research on different aspects of what causes the pace of innovation to be faster or slower. A selective survey of empirical work on the determinants of innovation, guided by relevant economic theory, discusses the economics of information & its relation to innovation; the effects on the pace of innovation of the strength of intellectual property rights, firm size & market structure, geographic distribution of firms, corporate decision-making, national culture, financial systems, human capital accumulation, and checks on inequality; and whether government policy determines innovation.

Lien Entre L'innovation Et la Productivité Dans Les Industries Manufacturières

ISBN:
Category : Industrial productivity
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
This paper argues that the lack of evidence for a strong link between innovation & productivity in Canada is due to incomplete measures of innovation. The authors first construct a comprehensive measure of innovation that models innovation as an unobservable latent variable that underlies four indicators: research & development propensity, measured as a percentage of output; patents per worker; technology adoption, measured as real investment in machinery & equipment; and skill intensity, measured as the employment share of workers with a university education. The authors then examine the relationship between innovation & productivity in 14 Canadian manufacturing industries over 1980-1997 using the new measure. The results also show that the length of time it takes for innovation to have a positive & significant impact on productivity differs across industries.

Infrastructure Politique Nationale Et Investissement Étranger Direct
Author: Steven Globerman
Publisher: Industrie Canada
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
It is widely argued that a country's economic performance over time is determined to a great extent by its political, institutional, and legal environment. We refer to these public institutions and policies as the national political infrastructure (NPI) of a country. This report focusses on the linkage between measures of NPI and foreign direct investment (FDI) flows. Specifically, it tests the hypothesis that FDI will be attracted to regions characterized by more favourable NPIs. It also argues that countries with more favourable NPIs will create more domestic multinational enterprises, and they will therefore see more capital outflows, so that the net effect on capital flows may be uncertain. The study employs 2 sets of FDI data, both covering the period 1995-1997. The 1st set measures total FDI inflows and outflows to and from a sample of 144 developed and developing countries. The 2nd set uses United States Bureau of Economic Analysis data to measure the inflows of U.S. FDI to these same countries.
