"This paper examines the steady state and transition effects of converting from a graduated income (y) tax to a graduated consumption (c) tax. Our simulation results suggest that considerable dynamic efficiency gains could be achieved by switching to a graduated c-tax, where all saving is tax deductible. An alternative (r) tax system, permitting both tax-deductible and nontax-deductible saving, is also examined. It is shown that not only is such a tax system a feasible way of implementing a progressive c-tax, but also an r-tax without any limits on tax-deductible saving could be more efficient than even a progressive c-tax in a steady state"--Abstract, p. v

Staff Study

This document is a summary of the main findings of the Council's research on productivity, costs, innovation, and trade. It explores why Canadian industry has performed so poorly over the past 20 years. It compares that performance with those of other industrial and newly industrialized nations. It shows that Canada's situation has been slipping relative to that of its trading partners, and that this jeopardizes future living standards. It describes the feedback between the micro world of management and labour and the macro world of inflation and exchange rates.

The Annual Review of the Economic Council of Canada

This publication summarizes findings on the effects of immigration on the per-capita income of the host population and on unemployment. It also reviews the political effects, in terms of Canada's weight in the international community and of the size and distribution of population among the provinces and among the country's three largest metropolitan areas, under three different immigration scenarios. It examines how well the immigrants themselves do in Canada and reviews the issues involved in processing refugees. It also examines the social implications of immigration from two points of view: prejudice and tolerance, and the management of diversity. It concludes with 11 recommendations regarding the level of immigration over the next 25 years, the successful integration of immigrants into Canadian society, and the desirable distribution of immigrants across the three main categories: family class, refugees, and independents.

Looks at the global view of growing internationalism, international debt management, the Canadian situation and identifies areas where growth should be stimulated.

Also covers tax reform and economic growth. Future trade prospects are discussed in terms of the new global protectionist climate, current barriers to Canada-US trade, tariff barriers, nontariff barriers, agricultural subsidies, manufacturing productivity gains potential, the impact of bilateral trade on output and employment with a regional and sectoral analysis. Also discussed are global pressures on domestic policies with a look at the new protectionist mood of the US Congress, and specific areas of concern: regional and industrial initiatives, unemployment insurance, health care and cultural issues.
