On Concepts and Measures of Multifactor Productivity in Canada, 1961–1980

Alexandra Cas and Thomas Rymes

in Cambridge Books from Cambridge University Press

Abstract: This book presents estimates of the sources of economic growth in Canada. The experimental measures account for the reproducibility of capital inputs in an input-output framework and show that advances in technology are more important for economic growth than previously estimated. Traditional measures of multifactor productivity advance are also presented. Extensive comparisons relate the two approaches to each change and labour productivity. The book will be of interest to macroeconomists studying economic growth, capital accumulation, technical advance, growth accounting, and input-output analysis.
