FCPP Publications :: Study Cites Privatization In Productivity Gains: "Study Cites Privatization In Productivity Gains
Scott Deveau, Financial Post, June 26, 2009
In a page seemingly ripped out of the free-marketer's handbook, a new study argues productivity has surged in Canada's transportation sector over the past two decades primarily thanks to three factors: privatization, deregulation and increased competition.
From 1981 to 2006, while business productivity overall rose 0.2% on average per year, productivity increased 3.6% in the freight rail sector and 2% in the airline sector, according to the report yesterday from the Conference Board of Canada."
