The editorial overview for Issue 13 introduces five articles with a strong Canadian focus: benchmarking Canadian economic performance (OECD), an economists’ manifesto for improving Canadian productivity, Canada-U.S. differences in annual hours worked, the impact of terms of trade improvements on Canada’s real income, and measurement of government output and productivity.

Cet aperçu éditorial pour le numéro 13 présente cinq articles à forte dimension canadienne : l’évaluation comparative de la performance économique du Canada (OCDE), un manifeste des économistes pour améliorer la productivité canadienne, les différences Canada-États-Unis dans les heures de travail annuelles, l’impact des améliorations des termes de l’échange sur le revenu réel du Canada, et la mesure de la production et de la productivité gouvernementales.
