Canada: Macroeconomic time series
The original time series are published by the OECD. The
sample range is from the 1stQ 1980 until 4thQ 2000. The following
series have been utilised in the construction of the series provided
in Canada:
Main Economic Indicators:
| Canadian unemployment rate in % | 444113DSA |
| Canadian manufacturing real wage | 444321KSA |
| Canadian consumer price index | 445241K |
Quarterly National Accounts:
| Canadian nominal GDP | CAN1008S1 |
Labour Force Statistics:
| Canadian civil employment in 1000 persons | 445005DSA |
The series in Canada are constructed as:
prod := |
100*(ln(CAN1008S1/445241K)-ln(445005DSA)) |
e := |
100*ln(445005DSA) |
U := |
444113DSA |
rw := |
100*ln(100*444321KSA) |
Hence, prod is used as a measure of labour productivity;
e is used for employment; U is the unemployment rate and
rw assigns the real wage.
