Title: The effect of changing technology use on plant performance in the Canadian manufacturing sector
First published: 2004
Description: This paper investigates how changes in technology use of individual plants in the Canadian manufacturing sector are related to two measures of performance--productivity growth and market-share growth. The paper describes whether plants are adopting new advanced technologies and if they do so, whether they enjoy superior performance in these two areas. It makes use of panel data on advanced technology use from Statistics Canada's 1993 and 1998 advanced manufacturing surveys that are combined with longitudinal data on plant performance.
