Christmas Turkey Or Prairie Vulture? by David R. Harvey Pdf

From the Foreword: Dr. Harvey deals with one of the oldest problems of the Prairie provinces: the carriage of grain to world markets efficiently and at low cost to the producer...The problem is how to reform the system without injury to the Prairie economy and unfairness to the producers. Dr. Harvey argues that a change in system is indeed possible, with benefit to grain producers, to the agricultural economy of the West, to the taxpayers of Canada - and possibly even to the railways. He recognizes that compensation must be paid to grain producers if freight rates for the movement of grain are increased to an economic level. He proposes a method of compensation that, he thinks, will permit economic forces to produce a net benefit to western agriculture, and will result in an increase in Pairie income and a diversification of the western economy.

Where Business Fails by James M. Gillies Pdf

From the back cover: The relationship between business and government which has characterized Canadian economic development for more than a century is changing, raising issues for business executives and government officials which they have never had to answer before. -- Why has the tension increased between business and government? -- Why has the government become more interventionist? -- Why are the traditional techniques that business executives have used in dealing with government no longer working? -- How should a corporation now organize its public affairs operations for maximum effectiveness? -- What is the future of the corporation in Canada? This study, based on the views of leading Canadian business executives, trade association officials, former federal Cabinet ministers and leading commentators on public policy making in Ottawa, answer these and similar questions.

Regulatory Reform in Canada by W. T. Stanbury,Fred Thompson,Institute for Research on Public Policy Pdf

From the Introduction: This study examines the nature of and prospects for regulatory reform in Canada. In particular, we are concerned with the elimination of liberalization of direct regulation in such industries as telecommunications, airlines, trucking, and agriculture ... In focusing our attention on the prospects for reforming direct regulation in Canada, we do not wish to slight the potential value of reforming the regulatory process. But most procedural reforms focus on the margin or flow of new regulation while deregulation proper is aimed at reducing the enourmous stock already in existence ... Within the field of direct regulation we have further narrowed our analysis to the role of the federal government as regulator.

Canadian Manufactured Exports by Donald James Daly,Donald Clare MacCharles Pdf

This study provides important empirical background to the continuing debate on Canadian industrial policy and trade. The analysis is based on primary data derived from a unique survey of individual firms, both Canadian and foreign-owned, conducted early in the 1981-1982 recession. The main purpose of the study is to assess whether recent changes in tariffs, exchange rates, wage rates, and other factors in Canada and the world economy suggest the need for any significant modification in the earlier analyses and conclusions. The study presents prior evidence on costs, specialization, and trade; assesses current costs and productivity, and presents new information on how increased exports and specialization would affect cost performance and international competitiveness; examines non-production costs and other non-cost influences on specialization and export performance; and suggests strategies for the private sector to consider in order to survive in the changing trade environment of the 1980s.
