2 Saskatoon Region Economic Diversity Report Economic Diversity: Empirical Calculations and Comparisons In order to analyse the economic diversity of the Saskatoon Region, we first had to answer a few questions: What is economic diversity? In economic literature, economic diversity has been defined in a number of ways. Economic diversity may refer to the presence of many different sectors in an economy. It is also defined as the balanced distribution of employment across a variety of sectors. Based on this, an ideally diversified economy would have an equal level of economic activity across many industries. Thus the greater the concentration of economic activity within a few industries, the less diversified the economy. Why is economic diversity important? A diverse economy is less sensitive to the ups and downs of business cycles affecting any one particular industry. If certain industries are going through a downturn, other unaffected industries will be able to help support overall growth in the economy. This leads to more stability in the overall economy and therefore more stability in employment. How is economic diversity measured? There are many ways of measuring economic diversity, including the following: 1. Analyze employment across sectors. The more balanced employment is across sectors, the more diverse the economy. 2. Calculate the Herfindahl index (H i) through employment analysis. The H i ranges from zero (high diversity) to one (high specialization). 3. Calculate an Economic Diversity Index (EDI) through GDP. Analyze GDP contributions by sectors. The higher the EDI (%), the greater the economic diversity. How diverse is the Saskatoon s economy based on the diversity measurements described above? 1. Analyze employment across sectors: Often employment is chosen to measure diversity as employment numbers do not need to be corrected for inflation across periods.

Although Statistics Canada breakdowns the employment numbers into more sectors, we are including both sets of analysis as the CBoC sectors match their analysis for GDP. Based on graphs 1 and 2, employment in the Saskatoon region is distributed across many sectors. However, from graph 2, 42% of the employment is concentrated within three sectors. Strengthening some of the sectors with low employment may help in distributing employment equally across the sectors and further increase diversity within the Saskatoon region s economy. 2. Calculate the Herfindahl index (H i) through employment analysis: Although the H i is widely used in measuring market concentration in industrial organization (Scherer, 1980) it has also been used as a measure of economic diversity (Tauer, 1992). It indicates the extent to which a local economy is dominated by a few firms. It is expressed as follows: Herfindahl index =, (S i is the share of employment in the ith industry and N is the number of industries) The Herfindahl index varies from zero to one, where a zero measure indicates high diversity, and one indicates low diversity or high specialization. Thus, a decline in the index signifies less concentration in the dominant industry, or greater diversification. Saskatoon Economic Diversity Report Page 2
4 Graph 3: Herfindahl index Saskatoon Regina Winnipeg Calgary Edmonton Hamilton Windsor Halifax Oshawa Niagara Region Victoria Using Appendix 1 (Employment by Sector) data from Statistics Canada s Labour Force Survey (LFS) for August 2015, we calculated the H i for some Canadian CMA s including Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Hamilton, Windsor, Halifax, Oshawa, Niagara region and Victoria. Although population varies among the CMAs, their indices are comparable since employment shares are in percentages. Using the figures in Appendix 2 and the Herfindahl Index formula, we obtain the index for economic diversity across the CMAs From the empirical data we see that Saskatoon is considered diversified with a H i of Given this number is closer to zero than one, it signifies high diversity. Our results support the theory that the Saskatoon economy is diversified. For comparison purposes, the H i for ten other Canadian CMAs have been calculated. According to the data, it appears Saskatoon region economy is more diverse than that of Victoria, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Windsor and St. Catherine s-niagara region but less diverse than Regina, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax and Oshawa. One important factor contributing to economic diversity is population size. With the exception of Regina, all the cities that are more diverse than Saskatoon have a higher CMA population and that could at least partially explain why they are more diverse. 3. Analyze GDP Across Sectors: The EDI of an economy is based on the following formula: EDI = (S i is the percentage share of GDP by sector i) m Based on GDP sectoral composition, Saskatoon s economy is considered diverse, with an EDI of 87%. A diversity measure of 100% would indicate an ideal level of diversity. With 87% economic diversity measure, Saskatoon s economic diversity is robust. Saskatoon Economic Diversity Report Page 1
