Labour mobility and interprovincial trade in Canada
(2019)
Abstract
This study estimates the impact of interprovincial and international migration on interprovincial
trade using annual data from 1981- 2016 for Canadian provinces. Estimated results show that interprovincial and international net migrations are positive and significant determinants for interprovincial trade of Canada. Interprovincial immigration is more influential than international immigration in explaining interprovincial trade. Interprovincial imports are influenced more by interprovincial and international migration than interprovincial exports. Province-wise estimates indicate that interprovincial trade of Quebec, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and New Brunswick are positively affected by interprovincial migration. Among these provinces, all except New Brunswick are also positively affected by international migration.
