Abstract

Le présent document comprend un examen du niveau de productivité du travail au Canada par rapport aux États Unis en 1999. À cette fin, deux questions sont abordées principalement. La première est celle de la comparabilité des mesures du PIB et de l'intrant travail produites par l'organisme statistique de chaque pays. La deuxième a trait à la façon dont un indice de prix peut être élaboré pour rapprocher les estimations du PIB par heure travaillée au Canada et aux États Unis, qui sont calculées en dollars canadiens et en dollars américains respectivement. Une fois que cela est fait, et que sont prises en compte les autres hypothèses concernant les prix au Canada et aux États Unis, les auteurs présentent des estimations ponctuelles de la productivité relative du travail au Canada, pour l'ensemble de l'économie, qui représente environ 93 % de celle aux États Unis. Selon les auteurs, on devrait appliquer un intervalle de confiance d'au moins dix points à ces estimations. La taille de la fourchette est particulièrement sensible aux hypothèses concernant les prix des importations et des exportations.
