While slower labour productivity growth over much of the past decade stems largely from declines in business investment, concerns persist over the extent to which businesses are harnessing the benefits of innovation and advanced technologies. This presentation highlights data and analysis at Statistics Canada that can be used to explore linkages between innovation, technology adoption and productivity. It draws on new estimates from the agency’s productivity research program, along with recent surveys that examine the innovation and technological stance of Canadian businesses. The presentation is intended to support ongoing research on the competitiveness of Canada’s economy.
