The issue of productivity growth and the competitiveness of Quebec manufacturing firms is one that has guided the development and implementation of various economic policies in recent years. Québec's economy and that of the regions depend to a large extent on the ability of manufacturing firms to access, remain in and sustainably perform in international markets.
How do investments in research and development (R&D) and information and communication technologies (ICT) impact structural changes, costs and total factor productivity (TFP) gains, and give SMEs in Quebec's manufacturing sector the ability to access international markets?
The authors of a recent CIRANO study, Lota Tamini (Université Laval, CIRANO), Alphonse Singbo (Université Laval, CIRANO), and Cokou Patrice Kpadé (Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue (UQAT)), will discuss this question on October 29, 2024 at Université Laval during a lunchtime conference.
This conference is organized in collaboration with CREATE.
Registration deadline: October 22, 2024.
