Baldwin-Green Study: Canada-U.S. Census of Industry 1867-1940

This study matches Canadian and US manufacturing industries at the 2-digit SIC code level for census years 1900 to 1940. Canadian figures start at 1870. Only general figures were recorded, such as number of employees, number of establishments, salary and wages, gross production, cost of input materials, gross value added. The project does have some drawbacks, such as the lack of US figures gross production, cost of materials, and lack of figures for the iron and steel industry. But for an aggregate comparison of the two countries, the numbers can be considered reliable.

本研究针对1900至1940年的普查年份，基于二位数字标准产业分类（Standard Industrial Classification, SIC）编码层级，对加拿大与美国的制造业行业开展匹配。加拿大相关统计数据的起始年份为1870年。本数据集仅记录通用统计指标，具体包括雇员人数、企业单位数、薪资总额、总产值、原材料投入成本以及增加值总额。本数据集存在一定局限性：例如缺失美国的总产值、原材料成本相关数据，同时缺少钢铁行业的统计数据。但针对两国的总体比较而言，该数据集的统计数据仍具备可靠性。
