As a young Canadian who may witness a time when the Arctic melts and smog from the tar sands ends up in my backyard, I want to know exactly what our current government is going to do to prevent our environment from imploding. Short-term economic belt-tightening today is nothing compared to what my children and their children will face tomorrow if they cannot breathe the air or grow food. I don't want to play "Where's Rona?" when the questions get tough. I want a plan, targets and timelines. In the present civic election campaign, an important issue is being missed by candidates. This is the threatened status of the Canadian Wheat Board with its head office in Winnipeg. The Harper government is determined to change the status of the wheat board to just another marketer of prairie grain,...

Under the plan, Baghdad has been divided into operational sectors, limiting the ability of militias, terrorists and criminal gangs to move or transport weapons and ammunition. Checkpoints operated by joint Iraqi-American units also provide a system of checks and balances, restricting possible abuse of power and miscommunication with the local population. The political and security efforts have had a positive impact on various aspects of life in Baghdad -- a rise in the value of the Iraqi dinar against foreign currency and an upturn in trade at the Iraqi stock exchange market. Still, one overarching question remains: Will the combined Iraqi and U.S. "surge" be maintained in the face of continued violence and growing political pressure, both here in Iraq and in the United States, demandin...

Old hands need to look with new eyes, for last week's debacle constitutes the biggest threat yet to the postwar trading system. It marked the trade diplomats' surrender to the confidence trick on which the system is founded. And it betrayed a reckless disregard for the value not just of the Doha round, but also of the smooth working of world trade. In narrow terms, the merit of such deals depends on whether they create trade or divert it. But their broader effect may be damaging. Bilateral deals are complex and tend to be bad for poor countries. In multilateral deals, poor countries can piggyback on powerful countries' negotiating clout; in bilateral deals, they're on their own. And the more bilateral deals, the harder it is to pull off a multilateral one. The ill will evident this week...

In efforts to innovate, organizations are increasingly offering competitive value-added services, frequently by evolving their software infrastructure. Business decisions are often motivated by economic trade-offs related to the development and management of this software. To develop an economic-modelling framework for the evolutionary development of software-based services, we examine the problem of estimating the return on a software-evolution investment. We present methods for estimating both the cost of developing a new service by incrementally modifying existing software and the value generated by introducing the service to the market in terms of revenue generated by the new service and the value of potential future services it may enable. An example case study illustrates the mode...
The firm that made the presentation, AlphaPro Management, is the only provider in Canada of actively managed ETFs, and it is the largest provider of its kind in the world. If the product sounds new, that's because it is. The first actively managed ETF hit the market in 2007, and AlphaPro started selling it first -- the Horizons AlphaPro Managed S&P/TSX 60 ETF -- early last year. Phil Mickelson could break par on any golf course he plays, but if I said to Phil, 'I'm going to tack an extra stroke onto every hole you play,' he's going to have a tough time breaking par," [Ken McCord] says. "That's what fund managers do when there is a 2.5 per cent MER on the fund they manage, and that's why most managers cannot beat their benchmark index. For instance, many Canadian stocks are sold on...

The service economy is an essential part of the national economy, thus the acceleration of the development of the service economy has become a hot topic in the field of economic research and a consensus all over the world. Since the adoption of reform and opening policies, China's service economy has entered a new era of rapid development, especially in recent years. Notwithstanding, there are several domestic scholars considering that China's service economy not only lag behind the developed countries but also many developing countries. Through the comparison of several developed countries and developing countries, this paper analyses the real level of the development of China's service economy. This paper finds out that China's service economy is not simply backward and slow, which me...
