Accurate and timely statistical information could not be produced without their continued co- operation and goodwill. The System of National Accounts In Canada, the National Accounts have been developed since the close of the Second World War in a series of publications relating to their constituent parts. These have now reached a stage of evolution where they can be termed a “System of National Accounts”. For purposes of identification, all publications (containing tables of statistics, descriptions of conceptual frameworks and descriptions of sources and methods) which make up this System carry the term “System of National Accounts” as a general title. The System of National Accounts in Canada consists of several parts. The annual and quarterly Income and Expenditure Accounts (included with Catalogue Nos. carrying the prefix 13) were, historically speaking, the first set of statistics to be referred to with the title “National Accounts” (National Accounts, Income and Expenditure). The Balance of International Payments data (Catalogue Nos. with prefix 67), are also part of the System of National Accounts and they, in fact, pre-date the Income and Expenditure Accounts. Greatly expanded structural detail on industries and on goods and services is portrayed in the Input-Output Tables of the System (Catalogue Nos. with prefix 15). The Catalogue Nos. carrying the prefix 15 also provide measures of the contribution of each industry to total Gross Domestic Product at basic price as well as Productivity Measures. Both the Input-Output tables and the estimates of Gross Domestic Product by Industry use the establishment as the primary unit of industrial production. Measures of financial transactions are provided by the Financial Flow Accounts (Catalogue Nos. with prefix 13). Types of lenders and financial instruments are the primary detail in these statistics and the legal entity is the main unit of classification of transactors. Balance sheets of outstanding assets and liabilities are published annually. The System of National Accounts provides an overall conceptually integrated framework in which the various parts can be considered as interrelated sub-systems. At present, direct comparisons amongst those parts which use the establishment as the basic unit and those which use the legal entity can be carried out only at highly aggregated levels of data. However, Statistics Canada is continuing research on enterprise company establishment relationships; it may eventually be feasible to reclassify the data which are on one basis (say the establishment basis) to correspond to the units employed on another (the company or the enterprise basis). In its broad outline, the Canadian System of National Accounts bears a close relationship to the international standard as described in System of National Accounts, 1993, a joint publication of the Commission of the European Communities, International Monetary Fund, Organization for Economic Co-operation and development, United Nations and World Bank.

  • Capital Depreciation and Labor Shares Around the World: Measurement and Implications∗
    Capital Depreciation and Labor Shares Around the World: Measurement and Implications∗ Loukas Karabarbounis Brent Neiman University of Chicago and NBER University of Chicago and NBER October 2014 Abstract The labor share is typically measured as compensation to labor relative to gross value added (\gross labor share"), in part because gross value added is more directly measured than net value added. Labor compensation relative to net value added (\net labor share") may be more important in some settings, however, because depreciation is not consumed. We document that both gross and net labor shares have declined around the world over the past four decades. Some countries, including the United States, experienced increases in the value of depreciation and therefore their net labor share declined by less than their gross labor share. The average economy, however, experienced a similarly sized decline in both measures. Using a simple model, we analyze the relationship between technology, depreciation, factor shares, and inequal- ity. Consistent with our empirical findings, we demonstrate that gross and net labor shares move together in response to changes in the price of investment goods but not necessarily in response to other shocks. We illustrate that both labor share measures can be jointly informative about the structure of production, realization of shocks, and transitional dynamics of consumption inequality.

  • The Concepts and Measurement of Output and Input
    This PDF is a selection from an out-of-print volume from the National Bureau of Economic Research Volume Title: Productivity Trends in the United States Volume Author/Editor: John W. Kendrick, assisted by Maude R. Pech Volume Publisher: Princeton University Press Volume ISBN: 0-87014-070-1 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/kend61-1 Publication Date: 1961 Chapter Title: The Concepts and Measurement of Output and Input Chapter Author: John W. Kendrick Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c2237 Chapter pages in book: (p. 20 - 56) CHAPTER 2 The Concepts and Measurement of Output and Input IN THE first chapter we saw that there are various productivity concepts and that the movements of the corresponding measures differ accordingly. Given the general definition of a particular productivity measure, its movement will again be affected by the precise definitions given to the output and input components of the productivity ratios. This forms the subject matter of the first part of the present chapter. With respect to national output—the real value of the final goods and services produced in the nation's economy—the scope and movement of the measure will depend on the precise operational meaning given to such key words of the definition as "final," "nation," and "economy." These questions have been debated at length by national income experts; but we should like to indicate the significance for productivity analysis of the major issues that are resolved somewhat differently in the several important sets of available real product estimates. Industry output measures are likewise conditioned by industry classifications and output definitions, particularly as regards the distinction between gross and net output.

  • U.S. Meatpacking: Dynamic Forces of Change in a Mature Industry
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Papers in Economics 1st Quarter 2011 | 26(1) U.S. MEATPACKING: DYNAMIC FORCES OF CHANGE IN A MATURE INDUSTRY Brian L. Buhr and Bruce Ginn JEL Classifications: Q13, Q18, L11, L22, L2, L66 Keywords: Meatpacking, Five Forces, Competition, Supply Chain, Vertical Coordination, Relevant Markets Meatpacking in the United States is a mature industry. Overall domestic per capita meat consumption levels have been stable for the past 25 years. As typical of mature industries, meatpackers compete by reducing costs through technical change, increasing in size and scope through acquisition or vertical coordination and by expanding into developing international markets. Meatpackers have also gained subtle product differentiation and pricing advantages and modest brand loyalty by vertically coordinating genetics, feeding, and processing. This has resulted in improved ability to meet consumer demands; enhancing revenues rather than simply competing on costs. Although meatpacking is a mature industry, this is not to say that it does not face many dynamic forces of change. Entry into the U.S. market by foreign competitors has raised the global competitive ante. Environmental and social issues such as climate impacts on crops and water resources, the emergence of zoonotic diseases, and calls for improved animal welfare are changing management practices. Policy issues, including proposals to improve meat product safety, to reduce the use of antibiotics, and to place limits on animal ownership and contracting strategies, are also impacting packers. Our goal is to address the impact of these forces on meatpackers’ competitive strategies using Porter’s “Five Forces” analysis.

  • The Concept and Measurement of Savings: the United States and Other Industrialized Countries
    The Concept and Measurement of Savings: The United States and Other industrialized Countries Derek W. Blades and Peter H. Sturm* Introduction 1. It has long been recognized that conventionally measured saving ra- tios differ widely between countries, and that among the 24 member coun- tries of the OECD the U.S. economy is the one with the lowest national sav- ing ratio. It is also true--though probably less well publicized-- that any’ definition of saving is to some extent arbitrary, and that given a specific definition, institutional differences between countries may result in differ- ences in saving ratios between economies which otherwise display identical characteristics and behavior. The present paper analyzes the question of how important institutional differences are in explaining observed differ- ences in official saving ratios between the United States and other industri- alized countries, and how sensitive this difference is to alternative defini- tions of saving and income. This analysis will be carried out for both the aggregate national saving ratio and the household saving ratio. A separate treatment of the household sector seems justified, given the dominating share this sector contributes to total national savings in most countries, and the focus on household behavior in theoretical discussions of savings determinants. 2. The various possible modifications of the official definition of sav- ings discussed here result in a large number of alternative savings concepts. Which of these alternatives is the "correct" one will of course depend on the question analyzed. Special attention will be given in this paper to the savings concept most relevant for the analysis of economic growth.

Lawrence NBER Working Paper No. 21296 June 2015 JEL No. D3,D33 ABSTRACT As shown in the 1930s by Hicks and Robinson the elasticity of substitution (σ) is a key parameter that captures whether capital and labor are gross complements or substitutes. Establishing the magnitude of σ is vital, not only for explaining changes in the distribution of income between factors but also for undertaking policy measures to influence it. Several papers have explained the recent decline in labor’s share in income by claiming that σ is greater than one and that there has been capital deepening.
