Tech Trends Shaping Business Research

The barrage of new technologies that are introduced to the market, each with the promise of altering (or at least affecting) the corporate world, can easily make one numb. However, our examination of a few of the more important IT trends makes a strong argument for the fact that something important is taking place. Granularity, speed, and scale—the three key elements that have characterized the digital era—are typically being accelerated by these technological advancements. However, the extent of these shifts in bandwidth, computer power, and analytical complexity is what's creating new opportunities for organizations, inventions, and business models. Greater innovation may be made possible by the exponential gains in processing power and network speeds brought about by the cloud and 5G, for instance. Advances in the metaverse of augmented and virtual reality provide opportunities for immersive learning and virtual R&D using digital twins, for example. Technological development...

Exploring the US-Canada Trade Dynamics

In recent years, there has been significant advancements in statistical analysis. A growing collection of sophisticated techniques and statistical tests have made it possible for researchers to handle a wide range of ambiguities in the data sets they have investigated (Beck & Katz, 1995; Cramer, 1986; White, 1980). The extent to which the standard assumptions of regression analysis are satisfied—particularly the independence of the error components and whether or not they have the same variance—is essential for deriving reliable parameter estimates from regressions. Even though statistical analysis offers tests to determine whether a particular model satisfies these presumptions, these tests don't offer much guidance on how to modify the model when the assumptions are violated.We propose adding a second technology to the researcher's toolkit in order to address these issues that arise during the study process. If there is structure in the error terms, social structure vis...

Canada's Role in US Trade Relations

Built the biggest market-based energy trading partnership in the world, the United States and Canada give a strong basis as we work toward net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Drawing on USD $7.5 billion in the U.S. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and CAD $1.2 billion to create a network of electric vehicle fast chargers and community charging options on both sides of the border, we will work to harmonize charging standards and create cross-border alternative fuel corridors. Working on the decadal performance targets for important technology sectors, the United States and Canada will cooperate on the Energy EarthshotTM of the U.S. Department of Energy. Aiming to lower the cost of grid-scale energy storage by 90% for systems delivering 10+ hours of duration within the decade, Canada intends to adopt the objectives of the Long Duration Storage Shot (LDSS). Canada intends to center on energy storage technologies for distant and off-grid uses in order to propel toward the LDSS target Under th...

Is Canada the US's Foremost Trade Partner

Presenting on behalf of the Canadian Government's State of Trade 2020 report makes me immensely happy. This report gives Canadians a synopsis of our 2019 economic performance while taking substantial global uncertainties of 2020 resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak into account. Over the past three months, governments all over have worked together to solve the global epidemic, striving to protect the health and safety of their people and so reduce the economic impact of the virus. We have seen Canadians, workers, and company owners pull together over this horrible era to help one another. Our companies have been quite creative and flexible in coming up with new solutions for problems. This paper investigates how Canadian creativity and resilience have helped our businesses to compete in the global economy as well as the desire of our government to assist commerce in tough conditions. As COVID-19 swept over many countries, many stopped trade to protect their people. But COVID-19 sh...

Is Canada the Foremost US Trade Partner?

Illicit drug trafficking, especially synthetic opioids such as fentanyl, is a global problem that results in unnecessary death and misery. The United States and Canada are committed to strengthening and expanding our close partnership to prosecute drug traffickers, dismantle criminal networks, disrupt the supply of precursor chemicals used to make illicit fentanyl, and prevent drug, firearm, and human trafficking across our shared border.  Canada will join the United States in forming a worldwide alliance against synthetic pharmaceuticals, demonstrating both countries' leadership in responding to this common public health and security concern. The global alliance will be open to countries from all over the world who want to accelerate global efforts to combat synthetic medicines. The United States is also looking forward to collaborating with our North American partners through the Trilateral Fentanyl Committee to combat the synthetic opioid pandemic.  The United States and Ca...

Understanding US-Canada Trade

With a consumer base of over 300 million, the US economy was the largest in the world prior to shifting south. Due to its size, it has the potential to influence the adoption of consumer goods and industry standards globally and draw exporters from all over the world. But the very characteristics that make the market attractive can also make it difficult for exporters to the US because they have to compete not just with US local suppliers but also with each other. Furthermore, because there are so many different market categories, an exporter may find it difficult to focus on the markets where the company can most effectively exploit its advantages. Another challenge for Canadian exporters is viewing the US market as separate from Canada's. Canadian exporters have a clear advantage over those from other countries because of their shared language, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The US and Canada's trade and economic relations The United States is the largest market fo...

US-Canada Trade Current Trends

Deeper cooperation between the United States, Canada, and Mexico under the United-States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) is required as the U.S. tightens trade and investment restrictions with respect to China and invests in developing critical sectors like semiconductors, electric vehicles (EVs), and clean energy. The truth is that a more concerted North American approach is needed if the United States is to successfully de-risk its economic relationship with China. The United States will probably take a more independent, less successful stance toward China if a unified North American strategy isn't developed. Consequently, North America is a region with intricately linked supply chains, especially in the automotive industry but also encompassing medical devices, IT goods, drugs, chemicals, and other industries. Reducing the danger in the US-China trade partnership One major U.S. priority that is expected to only grow is the goal of "de-risking," or decreasing economic...

Canada's Commodity Exchange Network An Insight

The United States of America and Canada have historically enjoyed the biggest trading alliance in the world; yet, according to a recent analysis from BMO Capital Markets, this relationship is currently being put to the test. Globalization took a back place to "reshoring, near-shoring, and friend-shoring" after the pandemic caused disruptions. This was because governments, particularly the United States, tried to lock down supply chains in order to protect themselves from the outbreak. From the perspective of BMO economists Michael Gregory and Shelly Kaushik, this pattern has been beneficial to both Canada and Mexico, although Mexico has benefited more than Canada. In the year that ended in the first quarter of 2024, the total amount of trade that took place between Canada and the United States was $920 billion. This equates to an average of $2.5 billion worth of trade that took place across the border each and every day. They stated that the entire amount of trade that too...

Is Canada Really the US's Largest Trading Partner?

A new report from BMO Capital Markets says that the relationship between Canada and the US is being tested. In the past, Canada and the US had the biggest trade partnership in the world. Due to the pandemic's effects on supply lines, "reshoring," "near-shoring," and "friend-shoring" became more important than globalization. This was especially true for the United States. BMO analysts Michael Gregory and Shelly Kaushik say that this trend has been good for both Canada and Mexico, but mostly for Mexico. In the year finishing in the first quarter of 2024, trade between Canada and the US reached $920 billion. That's about $2.5 billion worth of goods crossing the border every day. The United States and Mexico traded $905 billion worth of goods back and forth. They said it was on track to pass Canada's trade total sometime this year. The biggest trade partnership in the world is being put to the test. Two-way trade between the U.S. and Mexico reached...
