Abstract

The issue of productivity growth and the competitiveness of Quebec manufacturing firms is one that has guided the development and implementation of various economic policies in recent years. Québec's economy and that of the regions depend to a large extent on the ability of manufacturing firms to access, remain in and sustainably perform in international markets. In this report, the authors examine the impact of investments in research and development (R&D) and information and communication technologies (ICT) on structural changes in input use, costs and total factor productivity (TFP) gains, and assess whether the gains generated have an impact on the destination and volume of exports by SMEs in Quebec's manufacturing sector. They use data from the National Accounts Longitudinal Microdata File (NALMF) from 2001 to 2018. Their analyses suggest that R&D and ICT investment have little, if any, impact on TFP growth for Quebec manufacturing companies.The authors also suggest that an increase in TFP would lead to an increase exports, but only in the case of exports to US states. La question de la croissance de la productivité et de la compétitivité des entreprises manufacturières du Québec est un enjeu qui a guidé l’élaboration et la mise en œuvre de diverses politiques de développement économique au cours des dernières années. L’économie du Québec et celle des régions dépendent en grande partie de la capacité des entreprises manufacturières à pénétrer les marchés internationaux, à y rester et à performer durablement. Dans ce rapport, les auteurs examinent l’impact des investissements en recherche et développement (R&D) et en technologies de l’information et de communication (TIC) sur les changements structurels d’utilisation des intrants, des coûts et des gains de productivité totale des facteurs (PTF) et évaluent si les gains générés ont un impact sur la destination et le volume des exportations des PME du secteur manufacturier du Québec. Ils s’appuient sur les données du Fichier de microdonnées longitudinales des comptes nationaux (FMLCN) de 2001 à 2018. Leurs analyses suggèrent un faible impact, voire un impact négatif, de l’investissement en R&D et en TIC sur la croissance de la PTF des entreprises manufacturières québécoises. Les auteurs suggèrent aussi qu'une hausse de la PTF entrainerait une augmentation des exportations, mais seulement pour les exportations à destination des états américains.
