The 20th issue editorial overview notes Industry Canada’s decade-long financial support for the IPM. It introduces five articles on: the impact of the financial crisis on Canada’s potential output growth; the sensitivity of Canada-U.S. capital intensity and MFP estimates to depreciation assumptions; a sectoral and provincial decomposition of Canada’s post-2000 productivity slowdown; creative destruction and Finnish productivity growth; and public policy effects on Indian manufacturing productivity.

L’aperçu éditorial du 20e numéro souligne le soutien financier d’Industrie Canada au cours de la décennie au service de l’IPM. Il présente cinq articles portant sur : l’impact de la crise financière sur la croissance de la production potentielle du Canada; la sensibilité des estimations d’intensité du capital et de PMF au Canada et aux États-Unis aux hypothèses d’amortissement; une décomposition sectorielle et provinciale du ralentissement de la productivité au Canada après 2000; la destruction créatrice et la croissance de la productivité finlandaise; et les effets des politiques publiques sur la productivité manufacturière en Inde.
