North American Specialization Ford Escape: Kansas City, MO

Trade and Economies of Scale Example: cars in Canada before 1965 Canada in 1964: home-grown car industry Prices were high, wages were low, choice was limited, businesses werent profitable. Solution: a North American auto industry

Car Production and Costs Very high fixed cost Lower cost per additional car Per-unit cost of one car very high Per-unit cost falls as we make more cars

Economies of scale: average cost falling with production

Lowering Total Costs with Trade Canada makes crossovers for North America, U.S.A. makes SUVs for North America We save the fixed costs of two factories Costs are lower so wages and car prices improve We also get a wider variety of car models

A Tale of Two Recessions Why did Canada do better in the recession? Source: The Economist

A Reversal of Fortunes : Unemployment rates higher in Canada Fortunes are reversed beginning in 2000 Reversal accelerates after 2007 Canada hit harder in 1981 & 1991 United States hit harder in 2001 and 2007

September Canada: 8.0%, United States: 9.6%

What Explain the Differences? The United States suffered through an atypical recession caused by the burst of a property bubble and the end of a financial crisis. The crisis in the United States hit construction jobs Mortgage losses reduced mobility in the United States. Mismatch (2010 Nobel in Economics)

Another Hypothesis: U.S. Economic Policies hindered Adjustment and Flexibility Example: 99 weeks Of Unemployment Insurance

Why Canada Avoided A Financial Crisis Canadian home-price increases were more moderate Loan default rates were lower in Canada Canadian banks remained profitable No public bailout of Canadian banks!

Banks in Canada and Mortgages Six large, diversified, universal banks. All too big to fail Mortgage interest not tax deductible Much less use of mortgage brokers and loan securitization.
