From the back cover: In this study of Canada's leisure sector, William Watson first analyzes the changing determinants of the leisure time available to Canadians (in fact, as a nation we may be taking less leisure than we used to) and then goes on to describe the recent growth - and, in some cases, declilne - of five Canadian leisure industries: broadcasting, cable-TV, film-making, recording and the performing arts. These industry studies are followed by a discussion of Canadian leisure/culture policy. Watson has two main complaints about current policy. First, if Canadian culture is understood broadly, as it should be, it may well be resilient enough to survive without support...Second, where economic theory does justify support for culture it generally justifies support for demanders of culture rather than suppliers.

This report develops a measure of aggregate private sector wealth in Canada that includes financial, physical, and human wealth, and examines the ability of this wealth measure to explain aggregate consumption. The relationship between consumption and wealth is explored both to gauge the usefulness of the wealth measures developed and to improve upon empirical consumption models for Canada. The study augments the standard EC consumption model with a comprehensive measure of wealth, thus partly bridging the gap between life cycle-permanent income consumption equations and the more empirically motivated EC consumption models based on disposable income.
