Session: Tuesday 8th July AM (10.00 - 12.45)

Title: Using Secondary Data Analysis to Research Economic Performance

Convenor:

Dr Chiara Rosazza Bondibene (National Institute of Economic and Social Research)


Abstract Details

In this session different empirical approaches are exploited to understand economic performance before and after the recent financial crisis. Different levels of secondary data aggregation (individuals, firms and geographies) are analysed. A quantile regression approach is used to investigate the public/private sector wage gap. Dynamic decomposition methods are exploited to understand productivity performance in the Great Stagnation. Survival analysis is used to estimate the effect of R&D investment on firm survival. Finally, new data is constructed to account for the impact of births, deaths and migration on firm dynamics and job growth in England 's Local Economic Partnerships.
