IMPORTANT NOTE: Statistics Canada releases free estimates of productivity in Canada with data back to 1997. The CSLS strongly recommends the use of official data over the CSLS database. Statistics Canada's data on productivity are available here. Starting in August 2008, the CSLS labour productivity estimates are consistent with official estimates for years after 1996. For estimates of capital productivity and multifactor productivity consistent with official estimates, see the new CSLS MFP database. A technical Note the data and methods used is available here
