## [Borderless Energy: How an integrated US – Canada natural gas market keeps energy affordable, reliable, and competitive across North America](https://csls.ca/research/borderless-energy-how-an-integrated-us-canada-natural-gas-market-keeps-energy-affordable-reliable-and-competitive-across-north-america/)

Alisaleh Shariati
Report 2026-02 | June 2026 | 56 pages | Sector/Industry Analysis, Trade

Energy policy has consequences that extend well beyond producers and pipelines to impact household and business costs. In North America, a key factor keeping energy affordable is the flow of Canadian natural gas into US markets. When gas moves freely across the border, households and businesses save billions of dollars. When gas trade is disrupted, those…

This report evaluates the economic returns of Canada’s Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) system, five years after historic federal investments launched the initiative in 2021.

Alisaleh Shariati
Report 2025-08 | December 2025 | 187 pages | Productivity and Economic Measurement, Sector/Industry Analysis

The productivity performance of Canada’s residential construction has been abysmal since the turn of the century. Output per hour in 2024 was 8 per cent lower than in 2000, reflecting an average annual decline of 0.4 per cent over the period. This report sheds light on this troubling development, with particular attention to the sharp 3.8…

Christina Caron
Report 2025-07 | December 2025 | 144 pages | Productivity and Economic Measurement, Sector/Industry Analysis

This report examines the role of natural capital in economic and productivity growth. It proposes that natural capital should be considered a pivotal explanatory variable in the rise and subsequent decline of global productivity growth over the past five centuries, and presents extensive supporting evidence. Labour productivity and multifactor productivity (MFP) growth rates have been declining…

Report 2025-06 | November 2025 | 84 pages | Productivity and Economic Measurement, Sector/Industry Analysis

This report investigates recent trends in productivity growth within the U.S. manufacturing sector, highlighting a significant and persistent slowdown. By evaluating compound annual growth rates, we found that growth in manufacturing fell from 3.75 per cent over 1997-2011 to -0.51 per cent over 2011-2023, the largest slowdown of any two-digit NAICS sector. Using two- and three-digit…

## [Can a Lack of Pro-Productivity Policies Explain the Secular Decline in Canada’s Productivity Growth?](https://csls.ca/research/can-a-lack-of-pro-productivity-policies-explain-the-secular-decline-in-canadas-productivity-growth/)

Andrew Sharpe; Stephen Tapp
Report 2025-04 | November 2025 | 45 pages | Fiscal Policy, Productivity and Economic Measurement

Over the past half century, Canada’s labour productivity growth has slowed dramatically, falling from 3.7 per cent annually in 1947–73 to less than 1 per cent since 2000. This paper asks whether weak public policy explains that decline and whether new pro-productivity policies could reverse it. Using long-run data and the policy typology of Van Ark…

## [Explaining Canada’s Falling Human Development Ranking Over Time: True Decline or Statistical Artifact?](https://csls.ca/research/explaining-canadas-falling-hdi-ranking-over-time-a-true-decline-or-a-statistical-artifact/)

Alisaleh Shariati
Report 2025-02 | October 2025 | 42 pages | Economic Well-Being, Productivity and Economic Measurement

Canada’s position in the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) has slipped from 3rd in 1990 to 16ᵗʰ in 2023, when the latest report was released in 2025. This 13‑place decline occurred even though Canada’s absolute HDI score continued to improve. Using the UNDP’s revised HDI series, national Labour Force Survey (LFS) enrolment data and counterfactual…

Report 2025-01 | January 2025 | 53 pages | Fiscal Policy, Regional Economic Development

This paper looks at the regional economic and political structure of the UK and Canada, and how these have evolved over time.
