Canadian Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy by G. Bruce Doern,David Castle,Peter W.B. Phillips Pdf

Canadian Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy presents new critical analysis about related developments in the field such as significantly changed concepts of peer review, merit review, the emergence of big data in the digital age, and the rise of an economy and society dominated by the internet and information. The authors scrutinize the different ways in which federal and provincial policies have impacted both levels of government, including how such policies impact on Canada’s natural resources. They also study key government departments and agencies involved with science, technology, and innovation to show how these organizations function increasingly in networks and partnerships, as Canada seeks to keep up and lead in a highly competitive global system. The book also looks at numerous realms of technology across Canada in universities, business, and government and various efforts to analyze biotechnology, genomics, and the Internet, as well as earlier technologies such as nuclear reactors, and satellite technology. The authors assess whether a science-and-technology-centred innovation economy and society has been established in Canada – one that achieves a balance between commercial and social objectives, including the delivery of public goods and supporting values related to redistribution, fairness, and community and citizen empowerment. Probing the nature of science advice across prime ministerial eras, including recent concerns over the Harper government’s claimed muzzling of scientists in an age of attack politics, Canadian Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy provides essential information for academics and practitioners in business and government in this crucial and complex field.

The State of Industrial R&D in Canada by The Expert Panel on The State of Industrial R&D in Canada Pdf

"Industrial R&D (IR&D) is the private sector's investment of time and resources in the development of new ideas, technologies, and processes to promote business performance and create better products. IR&D also contributes to meeting pressing social challenges, ranging from development of new medical treatments to mitigation of environmental impacts to changing the ways in which Canadians work together. The returns on investments in IR&D can be high for the firms undertaking it, the economy at large, and, in particular, the region in which the IR&D takes place. IR&D and innovation are not synonymous. IR&D consists of any scientific research or technology development undertaken by Canadian businesses. Innovation, on the other hand, is a broader concept that can be defined as 'new or better ways of doing valued things.' IR&D is a critical driver of innovation, which, in turn, plays an important role in catalyzing productivity gains across the economy, thereby stimulating wealth creation and improving living standards for all Canadians. The historically low rate of investment in IR&D in Canada compared to other countries is one of the key factors that also accounts for the consistently wide gap in productivity growth between Canada and the United States"--Executive summary.

New Canadian Political Economy by Wallace Clement,Glen Williams Pdf

Studies in political economy are now at a crossroads. The revival of political economy as an important area of research in Canada began in the early 1970s with the publication of Kari Levitt's Silent Surrender. In 1976 it was launched in earnest by the first session on Canadian political economy at the meetings of the Canadian Learned Societies in Quebec City. While many academics now classify themselves as political economists, not until The New Canadian Political Economy has there been any attempt to systematically survey, review, and assess the scores of books and articles which can now be considered as belonging in this field.

Redesigning Canadian Trade Policies for New Global Realities by Stephen Tapp,Ari Van Assche,Robert Wolfe Pdf

"International trade and investment are central to economic prosperity. But new global realities, including rising antitrade sentiment, are challenging long-held policy approaches in these areas. With the global trading system at a critical juncture, now is the time to examine new trade realities and explore appropriate responses. In this volume, the culmination of a comprehensive interdisciplinary research initiative, the Institute for Research on Public Policy has brought together groundbreaking contributions from more than thirty experts in eight different countries. Together, they analyze how longer-term changes and emerging trends in international commerce, technology and economic power are affecting Canada, and what these changes mean for public policy. The authors take an in-depth, firm-level look at Canada's trade, and assess its integration in global value chains. They provide a rigorous analytical framework, supported by new empirical evidence, that will help readers better understand the global economy. Among the topics they examine are the new business models driving the more fragmented and global nature of production; the technological developments that are allowing new traders to expand their reach; and the shift in economic activity toward emerging markets that is dispersing power and raising new challenges for trade negotiations. The editors' conclusion distills the research findings into a forward-looking policy agenda for more inclusive trade." --

The Impact of Science, Technology, and Economics in the United States and Canada by J. M. Klein Pdf

While our world has many different places with different governments and economies, it is still vastly interwoven, through the global community. The United States has the world's largest economy. It is a massive importer and exporter, creating a constant wave of commerce. Canada's largest exports are mineral fuels, vehicles, precious metals, wood, and computers. Your budding economists will analyze how the advances in science, technology, and economics in the United States and Canada impact the larger global community. Readers will survey how past and present technologies are tied into each area's natural resources and factors of production. The extent to which United States and Canada rely on and contribute to the economies of other regions is explained. Graphic organizers and vivid photographs support the analytical narrative.
