  Explaining Canada’s Regional Migration Patterns

  Bank of Canada Review - Spring 2013 David Amirault, Daniel de Munnik, Sarah Miller

  Understanding the factors that determine the migration of labour between regions is crucial for assessing the economy’s response to macroeconomic shocks and identifying policies that will encourage an efficient reallocation of labour. By examining the determinants of migration within Canada from 1991 to 2006, this article provides evidence that regional differences in employment rates and household incomes tend to increase labour migration, and that provincial borders and language differences are barriers to migration.

  Modelling the Asset-Allocation and Liability Strategy for Canada’s Foreign Exchange Reserves

  Bank of Canada Review - Spring 2013 Francisco Rivadeneyra, Jianjian Jin, Narayan Bulusu, Lukasz Pomorski

  The Bank of Canada recently developed an asset-liability-matching model to aid in the management of Canada’s foreign exchange reserves. The model allows policy-makers at the Bank and the Department of Finance to analyze asset-allocation and funding-mix decisions by quantifying both the risk-return and liquidity trade-offs for the assets, as well as the risk-cost trade-offs of the funding liabilities.
