‘A sincere hand and a faithful eye’: the many interests of Robert Hooke (1635–1703)
Creators: name: Kusukawa, Sachiko
Publisher: name: IOP Publishing
Year: 2024

description: Since the tercentenary of Hooke’s death, Hooke’s polymathic interests have received much scholarly attention. This paper discusses his interests as reflected via his drawings, which are perhaps less well known. His drawings played an important part in scientific record-keeping at the Royal Society and enabled visualisation of manufacturing processes, objects, mechanisms and theories. His graphic skills were important tools for his observational and empirical studies. Hooke’s artistic ability is therefore a worthy addition to his many-sided talents.

description: Lots of people have opinions about Canadian energy, how we use and export it, its costs and its impacts on the environment. In the end, however, it is leaders in business and policy circles whose opinions can have a greater impact on influencing how the rest of us think about energy, and ultimately, how our national energy picture eventually unfolds. Remarkably, however, a survey of leaders in business and policy-making across the country finds that their knowledge about Canadian energy systems is not that much deeper or different than the Canadian public at large. Their opinions about how we should use, conserve and export energy are also strikingly similar. Anyone presuming that leaders in business and policy have a firm understanding of how Canadians get their energy might be startled to discover that, in Ontario, Alberta, the Atlantic region and Saskatchewan, a substantial fraction of these “elite” survey respondents incorrectly identify the primary resource used for energy in their province. Nor are business and policy leaders the ardent free traders some of us might expect when it comes to energy exports and imports. While an overwhelming majority (89 per cent) of survey respondents considered it important or at least somewhat important to decrease Canada’s reliance on the U.S. market for our exports, 56 per cent of those surveyed also advocated for more Canadian energy independence, even if it meant reduced revenue for the Canadian economy. Not only that, but they largely believed that eliminating energy imports and relying exclusively on Canadian sources would somehow result in an overall drop in energy costs. Furthermore, a strong majority of policy-makers and business leaders had a general agreement that it was worth bearing higher energy costs in the future if it resulted in better environmental quality. Additionally, when it came to evaluating who they could trust for reliable information about energy, business and policy-making elites proved just about as skeptical as the general public when it came to companies, industry groups and government officials, ranking all three fairly weakly on trustworthiness. They saw academics and economic experts as slightly more trustable sources for information, though even those sources had limits. And while environmental and community groups and activists were given generally middling scores for trustworthiness, business leaders, interestingly enough, actually ranked these activist groups as just a bit more reliable than did policy-makers. Finally, a clear preference in both groups was revealed for more planning and systematically adapting to changing energy markets and environmental conditions through the development of some form of public policy energy strategies.

Creators: name: Drucker, Jennifer
Year: 2011

description: In der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie sich der Qualitätsbegriff im Bereich der institutionellen Kleinkindbetreuung im Zeitraum von 1990 bis 2010 entwickelt hat. Dabei wird erläutert, in welchen Bereichen der Qualitätsbegriff seinen Ursprung fand und welche Qualitätszugänge bislang existieren. Verschiedene Qualitätsansätze, die sich im genannten Zeitraum im deutschsprachigen Raum (Deutschland und Österreich) etablieren konnten, und die Einfluss auf die Qualität im Kontext institutioneller Kleinkindbetreuung genommen haben, werden dargestellt. Außerdem werden die Qualitätsansätze von Wolfang Tietze und Wassilios E. Fthenakis eingehender erläutert und deren Gemeinsamkeiten bzw. Differenzen miteinander verglichen, um ein Stück weit herauszuarbeiten, wie Qualität im Bereich der institutionellen Kleinkindbetreuung in der jüngeren Vergangenheit definiert bzw. überprüft wird. Abschließend werden die Ergebnisse unter Bezugnahme auf die „Wiener Kinderkrippenstudie“ diskutiert, welche die so genannte Eingewöhnung in eine Kinderkrippe untersucht.
description: This thesis concerns the development of quality within the last two decades in early child day care centres. Therefore, concepts of quality that have been established in Germany and Austria between 1990 and 2010 will be explained. In this context the publishers of the concepts should be compared of how they define quality, which aspects they seem to be important to optimize quality and how quality can be valued. The main point of this thesis concerns the concepts of quality of Wolfgang Tietze and Wassilios E. Fthenakis because their concepts of quality have been published recently and are discussed in German literature quite often. They should be compared in the context of which aspects they agree and in which aspects of quality they are different. This thesis also shows the results in the context of the so-called “Wiener Kinderkrippenstudie” in which should be explored how toddlers might feel when attending a child day care centre for the fist time and which aspects could help them to feel better. Finally, there should be a summary and thoughts about which aspects of quality could be explored in the future.

description: The NFDI initiative aims to establish national research data infrastructures as well as standards and guidelines. In this context, we are working on the provision of research artifacts enriched with (1) artifact- and (2) domain-specific metadata, and also on the evaluation of the quality and FAIRness of this metadata. For this purpose, extended metadatastandards are currently being developed which will serve as a basis for describing research results and for assessing the quality and FAIRness in an artifact- and discipline-specific manner. We are utilizing Piveau, a data management ecosystem, to set up meta portals, giving unified access to research artifacts available in a distributed setting. Within Piveau, metadata is represented via DCAT-AP. We further deploy Piveau Metrics, a component of the Piveau ecosystem, for assessing the metadata quality and FAIRness of research artifacts. These assessments are based on the five star principles for Linked Open Data and on the FAIR principles. Based on the extended metadata standards developed, we are currentlyadapting Piveau and Piveau Metrics in order to tailor them to artefact- and domain-specific setting.
Canadian Manufacturing Malaise: Three Hypotheses

Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2013

description: The danger in politicians promoting the idea that “Dutch Disease” is responsible for the decline of the Ontario manufacturing sector is that the suggestion implies that Canada’s manufacturing sector will bounce back if only we could slow down oil sands development, or if the Canadian dollar were to devalue. In reality, evidence suggests that the decline in Ontario manufacturing is the result of long-term structural changes in the economy, independent of the rise of the country’s natural-resource sector and the rising dollar. And the sooner policymakers realize that, and stop blaming the decline in manufacturing on Dutch Disease (which holds that a booming natural-resource sector that drives up our dollar makes our manufacturing exports less competitive) the sooner they can get to work on helping manufacturing-dependent regions transition to the evolving economy. A closer analysis of Canada’s manufacturing sector shows that jobs in that sector have been disappearing across the country since the end of the Second World War, with the sector’s share of employment falling dramatically well before rapid development began to take hold in the oil sands, and back when Canada’s dollar was still worth far less than the American dollar. It is a trend that has been occurring among most of our OECD peers, including the United States, which may be due to the widespread reallocation of production to lower cost countries. But it is also true that Canada’s manufacturing productivity performance in particular has been declining for a generation, with especially poor performance in the last decade, when labour productivity in Canada grew at just a quarter of the U.S. rate. Meanwhile, capital investment that may have improved the competitiveness of Canadian manufacturing has been anemic.  Yet there is no particular reason to lament the scaling-down of manufacturing jobs in Ontario. The province remains just as economically important, as a share of national GDP, as it was 30 years ago, and its unemployment rate has remained roughly in line with the Canadian average. Often the manufacturing jobs that disappear soonest are low-skill, low-paying jobs. Indeed, those workers that have remained in the sector have done very well, with the growth in weekly earnings in the Ontario manufacturing sector outpacing the national average. It would be a grave mistake for Ontario’s policy-makers to argue in favour of hampering Canada’s oil sands development in hopes that it might devalue the dollar and revive their province’s shrinking manufacturing base. It would harm the national economy and yet, judging by the evidence, may do nothing to add jobs at Ontario’s factories. Instead, Ontario’s policymakers should accept that those jobs might never return, and instead, focus their energies on finding ways to encourage growth in high-skill, high-paying jobs in other sectors that offer more promise.

All the Workers We Need: Debunking Canada’s Labour-Shortage Fallacy
Creators: name: McQuillan, Kevin
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2013

description: When the Royal Bank of Canada was recently caught up in a maelstrom of bad publicity over its use of temporary foreign workers, it led politicians and pundits to scrutinize and question the growing use by Canadian firms of imported, short-term labour. The Royal Bank was accused of misusing a system designed to help employers who could not find Canadian workers by using it, instead, to find cheaper foreign labourers to replace higher-cost Canadians. But the incident raises a bigger question than simply how one bank makes use of Canada’s Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP): Whether the program is, in fact, interfering with the natural supply and demand responses of the labour market. And if we want to make better use of available Canadian labour, the time has come for the federal government to start cutting back on the use of TFWP. The number of admissions under the TFWP has nearly tripled in 25 years, from 65,000 to 182,000 in 2010. The primary justification for the expansion of the program has been the widespread assumption that Canada is suffering from a growing shortage of labour. Yet, it is hard to find any evidence to support this belief. What Canada is arguably facing is a widening imbalance between the skills that the labour market demands and the skills that workers are equipped with, as well as between where the jobs are and where available workers live. There are looming worker shortages in certain sectors while other sectors have an overabundance of available workers. Improving the balance in the labour marketplace does not require an increase in the labour supply. Indeed, the TFWP is sometimes being used to fill jobs with foreign workers in regions that already suffer from relatively high unemployment rates. Temporary Foreign Workers could be distorting the labour-market forces that would bring together more Canadian workers and jobs. A strategy is needed to better equip Canadian workers with the education, training and skills that employers are looking for, and to find ways to better mobilize unemployed workers from regions with lower demand for workers, to provinces with a greater need for workers. With no evidence that any increase in immigration is necessary, Ottawa should consider holding the current immigration rate steady, and re-evaluate only when the business cycle warrants — possibly returning to the disused policy of increasing immigration rates in boom times, but lowering them during slower economic periods. Admissions under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program should be reduced, and provinces should bring some influence to bear on universities and colleges to align their programming, and the incentives to draw students into certain programs, more directly with labour-market needs. Finally, the government must find ways of inducing Canadian workers — through tax holidays or other measures — to move from high-unemployment regions to the provinces where the jobs are.

description: Das Bund-Länder-Programm "Soziale Stadt" hat die Aufgabe, Stadtteile mit besonderem Entwicklungsbedarf zu fördern. Das negative Image ist einerseits Ursache, andererseits auch Folge von sozialen und städtebaulichen Problemlagen und Entwicklungen im Stadtteil. Diese Abwärtsspirale soll durch das Programm aufgebrochen werden. Der Autor nähert sich interdisziplinär dem Imagebegriff an und zeigt die Auswirkungen des Programms "Soziale Stadt" auf die Großwohnsiedlung Jena-Winzerla. Die Studie erfasst anhand des semantischen Differentials das Image im Stadtteil, wie es von den Bewohnern beurteilt wird und vergleicht es mit der Sicht von Außen. Der Einfluß des Programms auf das Image wird durch Experteninterviews beleuchtet. Das Beispiel eigt die Entwicklungen, die das Programm "Soziale Stadt" bewirken kann. Es werden aber auch Grenzen deutlich. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden abschließend Überlegungen angestellt, in welche Richtungen die Entwicklungen innerhalb des Förderprogramms gelenkt werden sollten, um das Image nachhaltig zu verbessern und betroffene Stadtteile adäquat zu fördern.
description: The program "Soziale Stadt" aims to support deprived areas in cities. The negative image of these areas is on the one hand cause and on the other hand effect of social problems and town planning deficits. This downward spiral should be stopped by the program. The author uses a multidisciplinary approch to the term image and shows the effect of the program "Soziale Stadt" on Jena-Winzerla an estate of prefabricated houses. The studie uses a semantic differential to survey the self-image and the image of Winzerla from outside. The influence of the program on the image is evaluated by expert interviews. The example shows the possibilities and borders of the program "Soziale Stadt". On this background relflections were done about the focus of the program in order to improve the image and promote deprived areas adequately.
Canada and the Challenges of Cyberspace Governance and Security

Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications

description: When Canada stood with the United States and Britain in refusing to sign on to a new, statecontrolled future for the Internet, at December’s World Conference on Information Technology, it certainly made the federal government appear to be a stalwart champion of Internet freedom. But in reality, Canada’s approach to cyberspace governance and security has, at best, sent mixed signals about our commitment to Internet freedom. At worst, it has actually contributed to increasing on-line censorship and surveillance by the very undemocratic and illiberal regimes that Canada voted against at the conference. Unfortunately this is a dangerous time for Canada to wallow in aimlessness: when it comes to cyberspace governance and security, the momentum is headed in the direction of greater state control. As demographic realities indicate, Internet usage will increasingly belong to the global South and East, where freedom is an unsettled and elusive concept. If Canada truly seeks to guard against the Internet falling captive to the controls sought by repressive regimes, such as those in China and Russia, it will have to offer the world a compelling, competing vision that demonstrates integrity and dedication to genuine Internet freedom. Among other things, that means moving beyond traditional top-down, state-centred models of security, which are a poor fit for a decentralized, global, publicly shared, but largely privately developed, communications network. Imposing conventional, state led policing frameworks on cyberspace — for instance, in the name of fighting cyber crime — only provides legitimacy to regimes abroad when they bring their own state powers to censor Internet communications. It also means thinking more carefully about how much we should tolerate our Canadian technology developers continuing to supply tools of repression to the foreign regimes who seek to dominate their own people. Canada has the potential to take on a leadership role in showing the world what it means to truly stand for freedom in cyberspace. But providing global leadership will require that our own government commits to reducing state controls and surveillance here at home, encouraging greater transparency and checks on state power over the Internet, while enhancing privacy protections. Ultimately, the only way the Canadian government can truly help preserve and promote a decentralized and unfettered Internet for the world’s future is to demonstrate that it is genuinely committed to promoting the same thing here at home.

The Importance of Policy Neutrality for Lowering Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Creators: name: Tombe, Trevor
name: Winter, Jennifer
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2013

description: The drive by Canadian governments, at the provincial and federal level, to lower greenhouse gas emissions has resulted in a hodgepodge of different policy approaches. Some governments have opted for energy taxes, others for regulated limits on total emissions or emission intensity. Unfortunately, not all policy solutions are created equal; some are more effective than others in lowering total emissions and, worse still, may exact a heavy price on the economy. Policy-makers require a better understanding of how various policies affect the health of an economy and of how to mitigate the most pernicious costs. Key to gaining this improved understanding is to recognize one simple fact: some firms are more productive than others. As a consequence, it matters how workers, machines, energy, and other inputs are distributed between these firms. More productive firms should be larger — it is that simple. Some policies, however, increase input costs differently across firms and create costly distortions. Energy intensity targets are a clear example of a policy that disproportionately burdens lower productivity firms, changing firm sizes for the worse and even leading some to shut down altogether. Using a detailed model of production and energy use that matches the Canadian economy, we explore the consequences of the several forms that energy intensity regulations can take. We find the best approach to lowering greenhouse gas emissions is one that is neutral across firms — one that affects the cost of energy for smaller firms no more, or less, than larger ones. The only policy that fulfils this criterion is a flat energy tax. However, a flat tax on energy could well be politically unsellable in Canada, leaving governments to resort to politically palatable but economically risky intensity targets instead. Recognizing this, we explore a number of ways to improve the performance of intensity targets. First, governments should allow firms the option to pay a fine if an intensity standard is violated. Second, we propose a compensation scheme to firms covered by the regulation to prevent bankruptcy. These modifications can bring the cost of intensity standards closer to flat energy taxes. In short, policy-makers seeking an approach to lower greenhouse gas emissions, with minimal impact on economic efficiency and productivity, should look no further than the flat tax on energy. If this is off-limits politically, a combination of intensity standards, fines and compensation comes very close to having the same effect and may well be the policy approach they can persuade the public, and industry, to accept.

description: Il lavoro si focalizza su un aspetto solitamente trascurato nell'analisi dei rapporti tra processo penale e diritto europeo: quello costituito dalla diversa morfologia che presentano questi due corpi normativi. Le norme codicistiche sono infatti espresse per 'regole' (le fattispecie normative), quelle europee per 'princìpi'. Da questa differenza deriva una serie di importanti ricadute, che presentano una forte incidenza sul processo penale interno e richiedono un deciso cambio di paradigma per coglierne la portata e le implicazioni.

This article focuses on an aspect usually not very much considered in the interaction between internal law and European law in the field of criminal procedure: i.e. the fact that such an interaction implies an intervein between a law by rules, that characterize internal law in civil law countries, especially in Italy, and a law by principles, that, on the contrary, characterize European law. From such an interweave, many consequences derive.

No More Second-Class Taxpayers: How Income Splitting Can Bring Fairness to Canada’s Single Income Families
Creators: name: Krzepkowski, Matt
name: Mintz, Jack M.
Publisher: name: The School of Public Policy Publications
Year: 2013

description: The Canadian personal income tax system does not pay much attention to whether the amount of money an individual brings home is supplemented by the income of a spouse or not. That means that families where one spouse earns more than the other get taxed at a higher rate than families where two working partners earn the same total income split evenly between two paycheques. In fact, a family with just a single earner making $70,000 a year pays 30 per cent more in taxes every year than a family with two partners making $35,000 a year. A single-earner family taking in $120,000 a year pays the same income tax as a dualearning couple making $141,000 between them. The federal Conservative government has at least suggested it wants to finally level that playing field — nearly six decades after a royal commission recommended that the income tax system be changed to recognize total family household income, rather than focusing on each individual’s income. Given that Canada’s income tax system aims to treat people in similar circumstances as equally as possible, it is certainly time to let couples split their income so they do not face a penalty in higher tax rates than those faced by couples bringing home the same amount of total pay. While couples with just a single earner enjoy some advantages, a dual-earning couple does not — namely the extra time the stay-at-home spouse is able to use to raise children and produce other unpaid, home-based benefits — that can be accounted for using other means. Specifically, cutting out the transferability of the unused portion of the basic personal tax exemption for couples splitting income — requiring couples splitting their income to each earn money in order to use this credit — is one way to account for the difference in unpaid benefits that single-income families do typically enjoy more than dual-income couples. That is one mechanism; there may still be others the government might consider. But the bottom line is that there are ways to account for certain non-labour-market-related differences between single-earner families and dual-earner families. No doubt many of these proposals would be an improvement over the current, where two different families subsisting on the same pay are taxed very differently, with one type of family penalized simply because of how their income is earned.

Beim direkten Worterkennen wird ein Wort aufgrund bestimmter Merkmale sofort erkannt, weil es bereits als bekannt im inneren Speicher abgespeichert ist, wohingegen beim indirekten Worterkennen zunächst alle Grapheme in Phoneme zerlegt werden, was letztendlich zur Worterkennung führt. Ausgehend von diesen Überlegungen wurden schließlich vier gerichtete Forschungshypothesen abgeleitet, die die Frage beantworten sollten, ob Personen Wörter in einer anderen Weise lasen, wenn sich diese hinsichtlich lexikalischer und sublexikalischer Einflussfaktoren unterschieden. Zudem sollte geklärt werden, ob es Unterschiede zwischen guten und schlechten erwachsenen Lesern gab. Insgesamt wurden 40 Probanden im Alter von 20 bis 62 Jahren zufällig rekrutiert und in einer quasiexperimentellen Querschnittstudie im Individualverfahren getestet. Mittels der vorläufigen Version des Salzburger Lesescreenings für Erwachsene von Landerl, Wimmer und Moser wurden die Untersuchungsteilnehmer entweder in die Gruppe der guten oder in die Gruppe der schlechten Leser eingeteilt. Anschließend wurden ihnen insgesamt 56 Wörter, die sich in acht unterschiedliche Wortgruppen aufteilten (lange vs. kurze Wörter, häufige vs. seltene Wörter und ähnliche vs. unähnliche Wörter), am Computer dargeboten. Diese Wörter sollten laut vorgelesen werden, wobei jedes Wort mit einem Signalton gekoppelt war. Für die Auswertung wurde die summierte und gemittelte Latenzzeit in Sekunden, also die Zeit zwischen der Wortdarbietung und der tatsächlichen Worterkennung, herangezogen. Sämtliche Daten wurden in kodierter Form anonym erhoben und schließlich mittels Mixed ANOVA berechnet und ausgewertet. Dabei konnte gezeigt werden, dass sowohl die sublexikalischen Faktoren Worthäufigkeit und Wortähnlichkeit wie auch der lexikalische Faktor der Wortlänge einen Einfluss auf die 5 schnelle Worterkennung hatten, wohingegen der Einfluss in Bezug auf die Unterteilung in gute bzw. schlechte erwachsene Leser nicht nachgewiesen werden konnte.
Not So Fast: How Slower Utilities Regulation Can Reduce Prices and Increase Profits

description: Energy consumers are facing cost pressures from multiple directions. Wholesale natural gas prices have been climbing substantially from their record lows. Oil prices have only recently cooled slightly after reaching nearly $100 a barrel (WTI) earlier this year. That makes it that much more important to minimize costs to wholesale consumers of energy, and ultimately, retail buyers, wherever possible. There is little room in the energy network for unnecessary costs. But in a regulated system, profits for utilities must remain healthy, too, if we expect them to stay active in the market. But the way that government agencies regulate oil and gas pipelines in Canada, and elsewhere, appears to be increasing costs beyond where they need to be in order to fairly serve both utilities and customers. By relying on traditional rate-of-return regulation models — which calculate price-rates based on the regulated firm’s cost of capital (that is, how much it costs the company to finance its operations) — regulators, including the National Energy Board and the Alberta Utilities Commission, reward firms for over-investing in their operations, rather than reducing costs. Utilities are motivated to prolong the period in which they can earn a return on their capital, since it is one of the few opportunities they have to increase profits under the widely used rateof-return regulatory model. That results in utilities keeping assets on the books — and paying for them — longer than they might otherwise need to be. The end result is a distortion of the decisions made by regulated firms and higher prices for consumers than might occur under a different regulatory model. Regulators that take a more passive role in setting the rate of return for their client industries, however, are likely to see their idleness pay off. Firms with a freer hand to do so will seek to accelerate the depreciation of capital assets, reducing costs more quickly. The result may see end-consumers pay more in the short term, but substantially less over the long term.

Repairing Canada’s Mining-Tax System to Be Less Distorting and Complex

description: The province of Ontario ended its most recent fiscal year with a $12 billion deficit and the Fraser Institute has calculated that the province is in worse financial shape than even the fiscally appalling state of California. One would think that a province so financially debilitated would want to avoid giving unnecessary and wasteful tax breaks to resource companies. Yet, a review of the mining-tax regimes across the country finds that Ontario’s system — specifically its provincial resource allowance, which duplicates the allowances provided by Ottawa that shield miners from risk — is redundant, expensive and wasteful. Ontario is not the only province requiring a modernization of its mining-tax regime. In every province except Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, mining firms enjoy a lower marginal rate for taxes and royalties than for non-resource companies. The inevitable result has been a distortion of investment toward mining projects that might otherwise be economically inefficient. That means that in major oil-producing provinces, such as Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland, mining investment benefits from larger tax incentives than oil and gas investment. The reasons for favouring the mining of metal over oil are at least unclear and certainly economically unjustifiable. The federal government has already begun making several changes to its tax policies to scale back preferential and irrational inducements for mining investment, including, most recently, reducing accelerated depreciation allowances for certain mining assets and phasing out the corporate Mineral Exploration Tax Credit and the Atlantic Investment Tax Credit for resources. But Ottawa’s efforts to modernize Canada’s mining-tax structure can only go so far, when provinces continue to rely on what are often overly complex tax systems that have a distortionary effect on economic decisions being made by investors. The next step in modernizing Canada’s mining-tax system requires provinces to start eliminating preferential and wasteful tax breaks for miners. Provincial treasuries certainly cannot afford these breaks, and neither can the Canadian economy as a whole.

China’s State-Owned Enterprises: How Much Do We Know? From CNOOC to Its Siblings

description: China’s state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are sometimes compared to Canadian Crown corporations, such as VIA Rail or the CBC. But that comparison is not only profoundly inaccurate, it can also be a dangerous assumption to make when crafting Canadian economic policy. China’s SOEs have been actively buying up interests in major Canadian resource firms. But that phenomenon has much more serious implications for Canada than if these were, say, state-owned European firms, such as Norway’s Statoil. China’s SOEs do not operate by the normal rules of commerce. They are, in fact, a very powerful tool of the Chinese government’s industrial policy, which is aimed at a ruthless expansion of its global economic empire. The spectacular growth of China’s SOEs over the last two decades, at a rate unrivalled by virtually any other sector on earth, has been driven by the will of the Chinese government, which provides cheap or free inputs — such as access to capital and real estate — in order to create globally dominant corporate powers. There is also the Chinese competitive advantage that comes with not just lower wages for workers but also behaviour that would be considered irresponsible in a Western context. Placing a lower priority on human rights, the environment, social justice and corporate rectitude give China and its SOEs an edge that have helped them in their goal of leapfrogging competing world economic powers, including Canada. Without these explicit and implicit subsidies, China’s SOEs have actually proven to be far less economically competitive than their private-sector rivals. Chinese SOEs are not publicly accountable the way that Crown corporations in Canada are. Chinese SOEs are run by appointees of the Communist party, whose first duty is to the state, the majority or even sole shareholder of SOEs. Unlike Canada’s Crown corporations, which are designed to fill in market-failure gaps or provide public service, China’s SOEs are permitted to chase profits in sectors that do not even fall within their primary mandate. And unlike Canada, China jealously guards the sectors in which its SOEs exert absolute or strong control, disallowing any private-sector competitors — domestic or foreign — free entry. When Canada’s federal government last December granted approval to the takeover of Nexen Inc. it made it clear that this would be the “end of a trend” of foreign SOEs controlling acquisition of major Canadian energy firms. Such takeovers would be allowed only in exceptional circumstances from now on. That is how it should be. However, that does not mean shutting our door for capital investment from foreign SOEs in general. What we need is adequate government regulation to guard our national interest, including the integrity of our free-market system.

Trends, Peaks, and Troughs: National and Regional Employment Cycles in Canada

description: When the 2008 global recession hit Canada and national unemployment rates began to rise, the federal government soon found itself under pressure to do something to help. That something ended up being the Economic Action Plan, a multi-billion-dollar spending initiative spread across the country. But, in at least one part of the country, no help was really needed at all. In New Brunswick, the recession had barely any impact on the state of the job market. Federal spending there would have been at best, unnecessary or, at worst, harmful, crowding out private investment while having an inflationary effect on the regional economy. Unfortunately, any informed assessment of how much stimulus is required in each province requires many months of data. Governments, impatient to show they are taking action, hastily create plans that may cause them to spend needlessly — or even harmfully — in some provinces while possibly coming up short in provinces facing the deepest economic crisis.
In this report we show this problem is not unique to the most recent recession. Our analysis uses monthly data on labour market conditions to show that the timing and depth of employment recessions varies widely across provinces and that this has been so in every recession since 1976. These results suggest that, to be effective, spending “action plans” and tax cuts must be targeted to benefit only certain regions of the country at certain times. The time it takes to formulate such targeted responses, and the obvious political challenges they involve, beggars the question of whether a national strategy can ever be designed that takes into account the varying economic conditions of a country with such a wide variety of industries and economic variables.
Examinations of the role played by governments in alleviating the recent recessions in Canada, the United States and elsewhere have emphasized the importance of relying instead on “automatic stabilizers” — pre-established mechanisms such as employment insurance, social assistance, and prescribed tax adjustments — to alleviate the impact of recessions. Before the next recession comes, the federal government — and provincial governments as well — would be wiser to prepare by investing resources in legislating well-designed automatic stabilizers so these processes are in place to naturally kick in precisely where and when they are needed. With the right formula of automatic stabilizers responding quickly and precisely to economic contractions, the main job left for politicians would be persuading the public that resorting to action plans and national strategies is something we are better off avoiding.
