    Doors Closed and Opportunities Missed: Lessons from Failed Automotive Investment Attraction in Canada in the 1980s GREIGORY D. MORDUE Department of Economics, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario Au cours des anne´es 1980, le paysage de l’industrie automobile canadienne s’est transforme´, alors que cinq nouveaux manufacturiers venant de l’exte´rieur de l’Ame´rique du Nord ont fait des investissements importants au pays. Le secteur, jusqu’alors domine´ par des inte´reˆts ame´ricains, s’est ainsi beaucoup diver- sifie´ sur le plan de la proprie´te´ des entreprises. Comme le Canada a alors re´ussi a` attirer des investisse- ments e´trangers, on pourrait penser que ceux qui ont participe´ a` ce processus avaient un plan cohe´rent, et que les re´ussites se sont succe´de´ ;lare´alite´, toutefois, est qu’il y a e´galement eu des lacunes et des e´checs. Graˆce a` des archives et a` des sources secondaires, cet article pre´sente le de´veloppement e´cono- mique de l’industrie automobile canadienne durant cette pe´riode. Les de´cideurs politiques peuvent en tirer d’importantes lec¸ons : il faut s’assurer de bien arrimer les objectifs et les politiques ; des personnes ayant beaucoup de pouvoir peuvent agir sans tenir compte des me´canismes de gouvernance, meˆme dans de grandes entreprises ; et des facteurs exoge`nes peuvent entraver la re´alisation des plans meˆme les mieux conc¸us. Mots cle´s : industrie automobile, Canada, e´chec, promotion de l’investissement, investissement e´tranger direct During the 1980s, Canada’s automotive manufacturing assembly landscape changed when five new manu- facturers from outside of North America made large-scale investments.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The Russian economy is experiencing a period of profound structural trans- formations related to the formation of a principally new economic model. Un- doubtedly, the successful continuation of reforms is linked with profound qualita- tive changes in the sectoral and technological structures of production initiating adequate transformations in the investment and labor potential of the Russian society. The analysis of the dynamics of general economic indicators in Russia and individual regions over the last decade was the starting point of this study. Basing on the generalization of statistical data and the results of reviewing litera- ture on the question structural shifts in GDP, industrial production, and invest- ment in fixed assets were studied. The dynamics and structure of social and eco- nomic indicators was studied across sectors of the economy and Russia’s regions. An evaluation of structural shifts over the period of transition shall be addressed very carefully, since this process is characterized by volatile changes in relative prices and their significant differentiation across regions. The analysis of changes in the macroeconomic proportions of the Russia’s economy permitted to reveal a number of key factors significantly affecting the nature and dynamics of trans- formational shifts at all levels of the hierarchical structure of the economy. The study of general trends of development of the Russia’s economy contributed to deeper understanding of the role played by individual territories and subjects of the Russian Federation, and their contribution to gross regional product (GRP), and allowed to define more clearly the specifics of investment policies. It should be noted that long cycles (over 5 years) that clearly manifested themselves in Eastern European countries and in China were less visible in the USSR.

It is the direct relationship between the drive to do good and the good that is done. Donors support our mission and the result is that youth across Canada find a safe haven, where they are accepted and protected and discover the skills to learn and grow. A volunteer gives us their time. Their donation enables us to run events that raise the funds necessary to help even more young people at risk. A partner shares their expertise and financial support, enabling Kids Help Phone to offer new and expanded services – whether it is reaching out to teen boys who are reluctant to ask for help or increasing the hours of our Live Chat counselling service, so that more kids can access counselling when they need it.
