From the Foreword: [This report] provides an American perspective on the longer-term structural challenges confronting the two economies across a broad range of industries. It examines longer-term competitive issues relating to productivity, wages, exchange rates, and the creation and diffusion of new technology that our two countries will be addressing even after federal budget deficits have been brought down and the new bilateral trade agreement has been implemented.

The objective of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of knowledge in the productivity field for policy makers and the general public interested in economic issues. Section one provides an overview of the fundamentals of productivity, with basic data on productivity trends and a review of the definition and measurement of productivity. Section two examines the determinants of productivity growth, including such factors as the natural resource base, industrial structure and intersectoral shifts, capital accumulation, technological change, labour quality, and the macro- and micro-economic environments. Section three synthesizes several of the key debates in the productivity literature, examining the productivity or computer paradox, the relationship between employment and productivity, and the link between productivity and international competitiveness. Section four briefly looks at actions and policies to improve productivity, with particular reference to ways to increase physical investment, develop human capital, and foster technological progress. Appendices include discussion of frameworks for analyzing productivity growth, additional issues in the productivity literature, and statistical and conceptual issues in productivity measurement.

This paper looks at the future for productivity growth in Canada. Chapter 2 discusses theory and measurement issues. Two themes are covered: the link between productivity and living standards; the relationship between theory and measurement in light of the widespread use of the concept of multifactor productivity. Chapter 3 discusses the empirical literature on the determinants or drivers of productivity growth including investment, education and training, innovation, diffusion, and the broader context in which productivity growth is set. Chapter 4 deals with the prospects for future productivity growth in Canada. Chapter 5 concludes with a discussion of how traditional economic policies should account for potential productivity effects.

The issue of productivity growth in Canada has received considerable attention reflecting its marked slowdown since the early 1970s and concerns about its implications for Canadian competitiveness. To better understand productivity developments in Canada, it is useful to decompose total factor productivity (TFP) into investment-specific productivity change (ISP) and technologically neutral productivity change (TNP). The gap in manufacturing productivity growth between Canada and the United States originates mostly in the strong performance of specific industries, such as electrical products and commercial and industrial machinery.

Chapter TwoLiving standard, productivity and competitiveness to internationalcomparison factorWhy does living standard, productivity and competitiveness to international comparison factor influence Canadians' behavioral consumption change model? What is productivity mean? Productivity measures the efficiency with which production inputs, such as labor and capital are being used in an economy to produce a given level of output. The key determinants of productivity include" the education, training and experience, the workers and the the amount and types of equipment available to them, as well as technological innovation and changes in both organizational and management practices. In this view point, these determinants are influenced by broader factors, such as competition openness market. The term " competitiveness" means as a measure of a country's advantages or disadvantages in selling its products or services in international market. Hence, Canadian's consumption behaviors will be influenced by how it's products are produced as well as its competitiveness with internationals, which are interconnected that contribute to strong Canada's economic growth and rising living standards. For example, in the year, if Canada's productivity effort is raised and export or import number is more than last year, its domestic Canadian who are living to cause who have more jobs to do. Then, they have more effort to consume, due to their living standards are risen in this year, who need to consume anything to satisfy whose better living of standard demand. Another example, I assume that the more efficiently Canadian businesses use resources to produce products and service in this year. That is the more productive, they are the greater their advantage in selling those products and services in international markets, that is the most competition, they will be. Then, Canadian will have more different kinds of products to choose to buy from local manufacturers' products supply. The more product choices influence will bring many Canadian choose to buy local products more than overseas foreign import products. The reasons are possible what local products are cheaper than foreign import products, local products have much different kinds of unique choice, more than foreign similar kinds of products. It will have more local different kinds of product choices will influence.The trend of buying desires to Canadian's consumption is to be changed foreign manufacturing product import who will trend to choose to buy Canadian's domestic manufacturing products in the year. Hence, Canadian's manufacturing more different kind of unique product choice will influence Canadian who desire to buy foreign manufacturing import products to change to desire to buy Canada domestic manufacturing products, due to they can provide more different kinds of products choice to sell to them in this year. Past, they can not buy many of any these Canadian domestic manufacturing products traditionally. Consequently, in the year, raising productivity and raising living standard and raising competitive effort factor will influence Canadians change their behavioral consumption model in this year. When these high technological products can be manufactured more number and sell more in Canada after future ten years. then, these high technological products can sell cheaper price, due to Canada's artificial intelligent manufacturing skill has reach the mature stage. Hence, Canada artificial intelligent scientists can innovate high qualify and low cost material to manufacturing kind of artificial intelligent robots in order to sell more number and reasonable cheap price for this kind of (AI) research and development high technological products after future ten years research and development process.

Examines the claim that deindustrialization in the US is causing a decline in its competitiveness, especially in view of competition from Germany and Japan. Discusses the relationship between productivity growth in individual industries and the tendency for aggregate productivity levels to converge among OECD countries, and identifies the sources of productivity growth. Looks at the relationship between international trade and productivity convergence in OECD countries and whether the same mechanics of convergence are apparent in developing countries.
