Centre for Competitive Advantage in the Global Economy (CAGE)

Lead Research Organisation: University of Warwick
Department Name: Economics

Abstract

The transition period will see a strong focus on further impact activities and capacity building, alongside the pursuit of new research opportunities that naturally follow from CAGE1 and CAGE2. CAGE is keen to apply for fully-fledged centre funding in a future ESRC centres call. During the transition period, the overarching theme will continue to be 'succeeding in the global economy' and the Centre will be organised into research themes each with an 'organising question': Theme 1: What Explains Comparative Long-Run Growth Performance?; Theme 2: How do Culture and Institutions Help to Explain Development and Divergence in a Globalising World?; Theme 3: How Can the Measurement of Wellbeing be Improved and What are the Implications for Policy?; Theme 4: What are the Implications of Globalisation and Global Crises for Policymaking and for Economic and Political Outcomes?
During CAGE 1 and 2, research in Theme 1 made excellent progress in establishing a detailed quantitative picture of the dimensions of long-run economic growth over the past 800 years in Europe and Asia and the analysis will now be extended to cover Africa, and move from measuring real GDP per capita to accounting for the sources of growth in terms of factor inputs and their productivity. Research will also analyse the reasons for success and failure over the long-run at a more fundamental level with investigations covering pre-industrial to post-industrial times looking at the roles of geography, institutions, trade costs, and human capital and knowledge as well as economic policy. Theme 2 highlights the local cultural and institutional context of economic development, including identity. Many of our lessons on identity politics and propaganda are of relevance to not just Brexit in the UK, but also the rise of illiberal politics and populism across the world. Future work will focus on the role of illiberal ideas in the form of lack of tolerance of ethnic, linguistic and religious minorities, and immigrants. A third area of interest will be culture, religion and the rule of law. The enforcement of rules is central to the operation of all societies and organisations. A lot of the ongoing and planned research in theme 2 connects with Economic History and uses historic data. Theme 3 will continue to focus on deepening our understanding of the interactions between wellbeing and behaviour and developing new ways to measure wellbeing at the national level. This goes beyond happiness and into moods in general, personality, psychological traits, cognitive skills, belief-formation, and decision-making. Also Theme 3 links to Economic History with its interest in reconstruction of wellbeing measures from historic books. Theme 4 was added to CAGE during phase 2 after the appointment of a Professor of Quantitative Political Science as a key investment to further the work of CAGE. This research has examined the implications of tax competition for capital mobility and viability of welfare state policies in OECD countries as globalisation has intensified. The research highlights differing exposure to globalisation threats. Research in these areas will continue and expand into developing countries as well. Furthermore, the ongoing research agenda on maternity leave policy in understanding gender equality will continue to be a key area during transition, as it has received immense interest in government (Cabinet Office) and private industry and the university sector.
In conclusion, the distinctive feature of CAGE is that it crosses divides within economics, and explores issues traditionally regarded as at the boundaries of the discipline. CAGE research and policy advice is sensitive to context and based on an empirical approach that does not arbitrarily impose the priors of neoclassical economics. Finally, CAGE brings an informed historical perspective to current policy issues.

Planned Impact

CAGE research is intended to benefit society through deeper understanding of the complex causal chains that contribute to economic growth and performance. The impact will stem from a focus on fundamental global economic challenges for the present and for future generations. This is a broad and ambitious aim for a rich, integrated programme of work. We have sought, therefore, to organise our strategy for realising potential impact through six main pathways, as detailed in the Pathways to Impact.

The intended beneficiaries of CAGE research are UK executive (Government departments: Treasury, Cabinet office, BEIS, DFID), UK Parliament, European Commission and MEPs, International organisations (World Bank) and the general public. The way we achieve this is to go beyond writing papers and instead keep direct contacts with representatives of these organisations and to explain research using best practice of knowledge exchange. Doing this, we build capacity for academic excellence in government.

The Centre will undertake a wide range of knowledge transfer activities to ensure effective engagement with users.

These include

1. Policy papers - Warwick and SMF will produce an appropriate number of policy papers for each of the themes throughout the project. Each paper will be launched at a public meeting to be hosted at SMF. Key public figures will be invited to comment on the paper and to engage in debate. The papers may also be discussed at Brussels policy meetings.
2. Lunchtime policy/user meetings - in London and Brussels.
3. Major Policy Report - we plan major Policy Reports towards the end of the project.
4. Policy Fellowships - we will run a programme of secondments for key user stakeholders (policy and NGO) to work in the Centre for short periods.
5. User Training Workshops - CAGE will run a regular series of training workshops each year.
6. Op-Ed pieces - capitalising on opportunities arising from current events, for papers such as the Financial Times.
7.Twice-yearly magazine "Advantage".
8. Website - the Centre devotes significant time and effort to developing a useful and interactive website. This hosts the CAGE working paper series, along with the Background Briefing paper series, and the Global Perspective Series
9. CAGE has forged links with BEIS, DFID and other Government Departments which will ensure that our research is quickly disseminated to policymakers in those departments and will also enable them to help shape the evolution of the research programme.

Title How farming shaped the world 
Description Why are some countries so much richer than others? The traditional view, dating back to Adam Smith (d.1790), is that farming brought about food surplus, which in turn allowed hierarchies to develop and led to the establishment of large civilisations. Omer Moav describes exciting new findings that tell a very different story.

Title Investigating inequality 
Description How has inequality changed in the UK, and why is it changing? Arun Advani, CAGE Impact Director, has been studying HMRC data to find answers to these questions. He explains some surprising findings: when you order people by income and look at the top 1% of people, 1 in 4 of these are migrants. And these migrants aren't bringing income with them, they are working and earning in the UK. The share of income going to the top 1% has been rising. But if you remove the income going to migrants within this group, it drops by 90%.

Title Why is Africa So Poor? 
Description The CAGE Research Centre and Discover Economics are releasing a new video series for students aged 15-17 to explore why the economies of Africa and India are less developed than others. Drawing on its world class expertise in economic history and its global academic network, CAGE has brought together internationally renowned experts - associates, friends and alumni of CAGE and the University of Warwick - to explore the long-term impacts of colonisation and imperial interventions on the economy and society of Africa and India. The project is delivered in partnership with Discover Economics, a campaign co-founded by the Royal Economic Society, whose aim is to increase diversity among economics students at university and those studying as an apprenticeship. The team hope that the videos will offer a new depth and variety to colonial history teaching in schools and will demonstrate to students the importance of economics for understanding history, and of economic history for understanding the modern economy. Although primarily aimed at school students, the topics of the videos have a broad appeal. The series tackles some of the big issues debated today: the long-term impacts of slavery, the lingering effects of forced medical programmes, the difficulties of emerging from a colonial economy and the long-run consequences of conquest and invasion.

Description KEY FINDINGS

CAGE's current transition funding focuses on driving impact from established research and undertaking small-scale further research. Hence our focus has been on consolidating the existing research programme from CAGE I and II as well as strategically supporting research that can inform and shape policy in areas where robust data is lacking.

Here, we focus on two areas where we think we made notable progress in 2023.

1/. Responsive Public Policy: The Case of the Energy Price Guarantee

The implementation of the Energy Price Guarantee in 2022 was a swiftly constructed policy designed to support consumers in coping with rising energy bills. Professor Thiemo Fetzer and Associate Professor Ludovica Gazze conducted timely and rigorous research to understand the effects of the bill and to consider longer-term policy alternatives. Their paper (with Warwick PhD student Menna Bishop) introduced a measurement framework that leverages granular property-level data representing more than 50% of the English and Welsh housing stock.

They found that the EPG favoured wealthier households and that it reduced incentives to upgrade the energy efficiency of homes by around 30%. Their analysis also showed that the EPG missed out on an important opportunity to respond to the climate crisis. Specifically, they found that energy saving investments would pay for themselves over a relatively short space of time. They proposed a number of measures to support homeowners to retrofit their homes. A particular aspect of Professor Fetzer and Dr. Gazze's research was to provide regional information to local authorities about which homes in a region were worst hit by energy prices, and which homes could benefit most from installing new energy efficiencies.

We see this work on the EPG as a pilot for future work with local organisations. Specifically, we will work with local councils on environmental management issues in a potentially transformative fashion. This will be methods and data-oriented. We plan to diffuse innovative data collection and field experiment methods into the local council network. In short, evidence-based policy 2.0 needs to have a strong presence 'on the ground' across the UK with local practitioners - not just in Westminster think tanks and in academic seminar rooms. This will be challenging but, again, we are encouraged by the piloting work that has been done by Theme Leaders Fetzer and Gazze.

2/. Reforming UK Tax Policy

CAGE Research Associate Arun Advani has been a highly active researcher on UK tax issues, looking at questions such as the role of audits in revenue collection in the past and establishing a research agenda that is embedded in the use of HMRC tax record data.

The role of non-domiciled residents ('non-doms') was a major focus of this tax research in 2023. We discuss this area in more detail as part of our Impact Narrative Summary for 2023. But here we stress the research foundations of the work. In an initial paper, he and his team used anonymised records to establish an evidence base for non-dom residents: what they do, where they are from and where they live. This provided a unique picture of internationalised tax payers that is hard to match in terms of the tax data that is available across jurisdictions.

They then followed this up with another paper that modelled the migration responses of non-doms to a 2017 tax reform. Critically, this was able to provide rigorous evidence on a contentious point in relation to general non-dom tax reform, namely the potential neutralising effects of migration or 'non-dom flight'. The migration responses were found to be modest and this has informed the latest policies announced by the Chancellor (circa March 2024).

Another new area of significant research was capital gains tax CGT). Again, a key aspect of the research was the harnessing of HMRC tax records as part of establishing key facts about the tax. Debates around CGT are motivated by much hand-wringing about 'winners and losers' of CGT reform but little is concretely known about who actually pays the tax.

Associate Professor Advani's research - covered in a recent CAGE Policy Briefing. Establishes three striking facts about CGT. First, the number of people who ever pay CGT is small. Over the decade to 2020, it amounted to less than 3% of all UK adults and in a given single year it is only around 0.5%. Second, capital gains are disproportionately concentrated among the very income rich - those in the top 1% or higher. This finding reflects the extreme skew of gains among those who receive them coupled with the fact that these taxpayers already tend to have high incomes. It also runs counter to the narrative that CGT reforms would fall heavily on the middle class: even among those with incomes between £50-150k, just 1% have gains over £36,000 in an average year. Third, the bulk of capital gains go to working-aged individuals, to individuals selling private businesses, and to individuals residing in the South of England. Within the South, gains are further concentrated in particular local areas. The residents of the Kensington and Chelsea borough in London have more in capital gains than many regional cities grouped together.

We think that this research provides a good input for the design of CGT tax returns, both in terms of how revenue could be collected as well as a more realistic and fact-based consideration of political economy issues. Indeed, these design issue for reform are a next step for Associate Professor Advani's team.

3/. The Economic History of India

Finally, 2024 will see the publication of a major monograph on the economic history of India by CAGE Research Director Bishnu Gupta - "An Economic History of India: Growth, Income and Inequalities from the Mughals to the 21st Century" (published by Cambridge University Press). This represents a synthesis of the literature and Gupta's work, drawing on the data intensive work that CAGE has sponsored on the economic history of the Indian economy.

This book examines India's economic development over centuries, comparing it to Britain and East Asia under different colonial experiences. The book opens by revealing a surprising truth: while pre-colonial India boasted a wealthy elite and vibrant cities, average living standards were far lower. Despite a strong initial position (60% of British GDP in 1600), India's economy declined from the 17th century, stagnating under British rule.

The book also explores different aspects of developing economy industrial structure. Agriculture, the largest sector, suffered from inadequate British investment in irrigation and technology. However, railways played a crucial role in integrating markets. Post-independence policies focused on infrastructure development, culminating in the Green Revolution, which significantly boosted agricultural output.

Furthermore, the traditional textile industry declined under British rule, but a modern one emerged despite a lack of support. After independence, India pursued import substitution industrialization, led by the public sector. However, some family-owned conglomerates from the colonial era thrived. The book also contrasts this experience with that of India's growing service sector. A colonial focus on higher education for a select few created a service-sector advantage as early as 1900. This highly educated workforce continues to fuel service-led growth today.
.
Professor Gupta comprehensively discusses the evolution of inequality. Regional disparities persist, and income inequality was high pre-independence. However, public-sector policies in the early decades of independence reduced inequality. While reforms since the 1980s have seen inequality rise again, it remains lower than colonial times. India also stands out from other colonies, as Indians always held a significant share of top incomes, reflecting the economic strength of pre-colonial urban communities.

The final chapter compares India's colonial experience to that of Korea and Taiwan under Japanese rule. Japan's investments in agriculture and primary education in these colonies stand in stark contrast to British policies in India. This difference may explain the divergent paths of development: industry-led growth in the Japanese colonies and service-sector led growth in India.
Exploitation Route Dr Advani's research was a major input into the non-dom taxation reforms announced in the March 2024 budget. Specifically, the analysis of his team was used to estimate the projected revenue of the reforms and most critically, his work on the potential migration responses to the reform was a key part of the policy calculation of costs and benefits.

Professor Fetzer and Dr Gazze's research is being used by local authorities to better understand incentives and deterrents to improving energy efficiencies at home. The data was used as part of a special feature in the Financial Times used to show which areas of the country are most affected by rising energy prices and energy inefficient homes. The researchers are continuing their work in this area with a view to further influencing policymakers.

Description Introduction Our research findings have been used by policymakers, journalists, practitioners and the general public to drive policy debate and reform opinion. Over the years since our founding, we have made major contributions to impact in the areas of well-being policy, growth policy, tax and even relatively niche but consequential issues such as event ticketing. Information on these impacts can be found in other Researchfish entries and on the CAGE website. In this annual update, we want to highlight two areas of impact where we think our long-run efforts culminated with unique and tangible contributions. 1/. Influencing UK Tax Policy: The Case of Non-Doms As part of the Budget in March 2024 the Chancellor announced changes to the tax rules for "non-doms". These changes were directly informed by the work of CAGE Research Associate Dr Arun Advani. He has been researching this rather unique UK tax category as part of his long-standing interest in making UK tax more efficient and fairer. As part of his wider work into taxation of income from work relative to income from wealth, Advani has developed the evidence base into the effects of the non-dom regime. He has subsequently been making the case for reform based on his findings and the influence in the current changes is clear. Non-dom status gives tax breaks to some of the UK's wealthiest residents, if they are foreign-born and claim that their permanent home is abroad. Even when living in the UK all year round, non-doms are able to claim a special tax privilege which allows them to not pay tax on investments they have abroad. In partnership with tax experts at the LSE, Arun used confidential, anonymised HMRC data to look at who non-doms are, what they do, where they are from and where they live. The findings were published as a Policy Briefing by CAGE in April 2022. It was the first research to take a systematic look at the UK's non-dom population using tax data covering everyone who has claimed non-dom status over the past two decades. The Chancellor announced that from April 2025, new arrivals to the UK will only be able to avoid tax on overseas income and gains for the first four years of their residency. If they continue to live in the UK after four years, they will pay the same tax as everyone else. Those currently benefiting from non-dom status will have a two-year transitional period during which they will be encouraged to bring their overseas wealth into the UK. Advani and the LSE team established that abolishing non-dom status would raise around £3.2bn a year. This gave the Treasury robust data against which they could review their policy decisions. Another Government concern was that abolishing non-dom status would mean that high net worth individuals would simply leave the UK. Arun and LSE colleagues were able to evaluate the likely impact of changes and show that any such effect would be small. The Chancellor announced that from April 2025, new arrivals to the UK will only be able to avoid tax on overseas income and gains for the first four years of their residency. If they continue to live in the UK after four years, they will pay the same tax as everyone else. Those currently benefiting from non-dom status will have a two-year transitional period during which they will be encouraged to bring their overseas wealth into the UK. 2/. Widening the Audience for Economic History Research As part of a new initiative, we have been working with our Economic History network to develop materials for use in schools by economics and history students. Drawing on its world class expertise in economic history and its global academic network, CAGE has brought together internationally renowned experts - associates, friends and alumni of CAGE and the University of Warwick - to explore the long-term impacts of colonisation and imperial interventions on the economy and society of Africa and India. The project is delivered in partnership with Discover Economics, a campaign co-founded by the Royal Economic Society, whose aim is to increase diversity among economics students at university and those studying as an apprenticeship. The aim of the videos is to offer new depth and variety to colonial history teaching in schools and will demonstrate to students the importance of economics for understanding history, and of economic history for understanding the modern economy. Although primarily aimed at school students, the topics of the videos have a broad appeal. The series tackles some of the big issues debated today: the long-term impacts of slavery, the lingering effects of forced medical programmes, the difficulties of emerging from a colonial economy and the long-run consequences of conquest and invasion. The first video series on the impact of colonialism on economic growth was launched in 2023. The series is entitled "Why isn't the whole world development?" and covers topics such as, slave trade, colonial medicine, and Indian underdevelopment. The lead video in the series "Why is Africa So Poor?" has 15,000 views and the others average in the 2000-4000 range We are planning further direct engagement with school teachers and pupils through a special online event later in 2024. This is the start of a long-term project to improve school materials on economic history and to widen participation in economics and economic history in schools and universities. Two more videos will be added to the series and there will be an event run jointly with Discover Economics on Warwick University campus in April with 50 high school children from several schools to give us their impressions of the videos through a poster competition. The second series of videos with Discover Economics is planned in collaboration with Queen's University at Belfast on "Political representation, protest and extremism".

Description Oxford University / Stephen Broadberry 
Organisation University of Oxford
Country United Kingdom 
Sector Academic/University 
PI Contribution Stephen Broadberry is the Economic History Theme Leader since 2010. Prof Stephen Broadberry is CAGE Economic History theme leader which addresses the question "What Explains Comparative Long-run Growth Performance?" It is concerned with explaining comparative long run growth performance. This involves the analysis of long run shifts of competitive advantage, such as the growing importance of China in the world economy, and also coping with short run shocks such as the 2008 economic crisis. Shifts of economic leadership have been relatively rare over the last thousand years, and have been drawn out over longer periods of time than most policy makers normally take into consideration. Economic history is therefore an essential part of this theme, which seeks to draw lessons from the success stories of economic development in the past for developing countries today. Building on and extending existing datasets constructed by CAGE researchers, Theme 1's research agenda focuses on competing explanations of the underlying or fundamental sources of growth performance, including geography, institutions and schooling. Historical analysis can also be used to inform debates over relevant policies for dealing with the 2008 crisis. Theme 1 research will draw on analysis of the crisis of the 1930s to consider reforms that may be needed to restore growth in the western world and sustain catch-up growth in developing countries.

Title Wealth Tax Commission Tax Simulator 
Description Calculate your own tax liability This tool enables you to calculate your own tax liability under the wealth tax you have designed, by entering the value of assets you own. The tax liability calculated is an approximation based on the details you enter. This is likely to differ from the amount you would actually be asked to pay under the proposed tax. In the event of a wealth tax being introduced in the UK, you would not be required to provide all of the information asked for in these pages. Some of this information, such as the value of pension savings, could be provided by pension providers rather than taxpayers. The information you provide here is not collected or stored, and will disappear as soon as the webpage is closed or refreshed. It will not be shared if you use the "create shareable link" tool. 
Type Of Technology Webtool/Application 
Year Produced 2020 
Impact This tool enables users to design a wealth tax and calculate their own tax liability by entering the value of assets they own. They can also share their tax design, including via social media. Briefly describe any notable impacts resulting from the development of this software or technical product. * Since it has been live (Dec 2020), the website containing the simulator was accessed by 32,000 unique visitors (March 2021). 70.7% of these visitors were from the UK and the rest were international.

Spending should not be cut, while taxes on higher earnings and income from wealth could reasonably be increased to cover any potential increases in borrowing costs that may occur.

Results and Impact The article, written by Paul Johnson and published in The Times, critiques the idea of cutting or abolishing inheritance tax.

Instead, he suggests reforming the system to make it fairer and more effective, citing Arun Advani's research. The article aims to stimulate debate and inform policymaking decisions on inheritance tax policy and its implications for wealth distribution and economic growth. Its impact may include shaping public opinion, influencing policymaking, and sparking further research on the topic.

The purpose was to discuss the current tax regime's flaws and explore potential reforms. Key outcomes included agreement on the need for reform due to outdated practices, exploration of alternative approaches like considering residence and citizenship instead of domicile, concerns about achieving political consensus for reform, and differing views on the timing of potential changes, particularly in response to Labour's proposal to scrap non-dom tax status. Arun Advani's contributions likely played a significant role in shaping the debate's insights and perspectives. Overall, the debate aimed to stimulate discussion and raise awareness among stakeholders about this important taxation issue.

Results and Impact Research supported by CAGE finds that just four minutes of small talk can reveal personality traits and help us to predict the behaviour of others. They asked a group of 338 participants to complete a personality and IQ test, before engaging in two strategic games in pairs. Half of the participants made small talk by text with their partner for 4 minutes before playing the games. The other half had no interaction. The researchers found that the group that chatted beforehand were better able to predict the IQ and personality of their partner and worked better together in the strategic games.

Results and Impact Non-domiciled residents in the UK ('non-doms') receive at least £10.9 billion in offshore income and capital gains each year, which they are not required to report to HMRC or pay tax on in the UK. Taxing this income would raise more than £3.2 billion in additional tax revenue each year and also remove the current disincentive to invest in the UK. Refuting concerns that abolishing non-dom status could lead to a mass exodus from the UK, the report calculates that only 0.3% of those affected would leave the country (fewer than 100 people), most of whom are paying hardly any tax under the current regime.

Results and Impact Andrew Oswald pens a letter discussing the parallels between current wage inflation concerns and the historical "winter of discontent" in 1978. The purpose of the letter is to highlight the importance of understanding behavioural economics in forecasting inflation and to caution against repeating past mistakes. The intended outcome is to prompt policymakers and decision-makers to consider the role of extreme emotions and perceptions of fairness in economic behavior, potentially leading to more accurate forecasts and better policy responses.

Results and Impact CAGE working paper 342 cited in the Financial Times "A recent study by Federica Liberini, Andrew Oswald, Eugenio Proto and Michela Redoano looked at the impact of how people feel about their finances. Liberini and her colleagues looked at a question from a long-running academic survey, Understanding Society: "How well would you say you yourself are managing financially these days?". Answers varied from 1 (living comfortably) to 5 (finding it very difficult).

The researchers found that people who said they were living comfortably were more likely to support the Remain campaign in the UK. Those who found their finances very difficult tended to sympathise with Vote Leave. Indeed, write the researchers, "UK citizens' feelings about their incomes were a substantially better predictor of pro-Brexit views than their actual incomes.""

Results and Impact CAGE working paper 641 cited in The Times along with quotes from Andrew Oswald: ""It would be expected that middle-aged adults in the industrialised nations would have extraordinarily cushioned and enjoyable lives," the authors of The Midlife Crisis report write. Those in middle age are more prone to suicide, clinical depression, feeling overwhelmed at work, sleep problems and alcohol dependence, and have problems with debilitating headaches, memory and concentration.

"Something elemental appears to be going wrong in the middle of many citizens' lives," says the study, which was produced by the National Bureau of Economic Research in the US, with input from British researchers.

Depression and general anxiety rates peak in those aged 45 to 54 and suicide rates are highest among those in their early fifties. Job stress is greatest at 45, as are sleep problems. Peak lifetime earning for those with low education levels occurs in their late forties; for those with high levels it's in their early fifties.

"It's a huge paradox," says Andrew Oswald, professor of economics and behavioural science at the University of Warwick, one of the authors. He is a few years past the crisis point but remembers it well. "At that stage an awful lot of us feel overwhelmed with pressures. People feel a lot of responsibility in midlife.""

In this article for Times Higher Education, Stefano Caria argues that rather than giving up on RCTs altogether, we need to focus on developing this powerful research method to address the ethical controversies that surround it.

Results and Impact "If the EU CBAM happens and doesn't exclude low-income countries, African governments will have a choice between taxing carbon and raising revenue themselves, or having the carbon taxed by the EU," said Arun Advani (CAGE Associate), assistant professor in the department of economics at Warwick University.
"This will be an additional push towards taxing carbon domestically themselves," added Advani.
An EU carbon border is looking increasingly likely as carbon prices climb and industry support for the CBAM grows. In March, the steel and mining company ArcelorMittal called for a CBAM amid concerns from industry that climbing prices in the EU's emissions trading scheme (ETS) are putting European businesses at a disadvantage against international competitors.

Results and Impact Nicholas Crafts (CAGE Associate, and former CAGE Director), a leading historian of Britain's economy, argues that the real cause of the British disease was a lack of competition in the domestic economy, which was widely cartelised in the interwar years and sheltered from international competition in the post-war decades. Thatcher, by his reckoning, deserves credit for liberalising markets and deregulating industries but was aided by the wider exposure of firms to international competitive pressure from entry into the EEC and the creation of the European Single Market in the mid-1980s. He reckons that Britain's failure to join the EEC at its creation in 1957 had a substantial cost in terms of lost productivity.

Dr Arun Advani (CAGE Associate), one of the report's authors, says it came from an awareness that the rich were able to ride out the past year: "If you had a low income it became clear you'd be really badly impacted, but if you had wealth you could sit and live off it.

Although headline tax rates rise with income, the super-rich often pay lower effective rates than those on modest incomes, because they can take the money as dividends or capital gains, which face lower rates. Cutting the top rate of income tax to 40% will not stop this behaviour, since the top dividend tax rate has also been cut, and some gains can still be taxed as low as 10%."

Results and Impact Article by Arun Advani referencing CAGE Policy Briefing 38: "Jeremy Hunt claimed the burden of his autumn statement tax rises would fall on those with the broadest shoulders, saying on Thursday he would "ask those with more to contribute more".

Unfortunately, the chancellor's statement was surprising in its timidity. The UK tax system is sadly riddled with problems. Fixing any one of those could have raised substantial revenue, improved growth and gone some way towards improving fairness, not only between rich and poor but also between people with the same incomes, taken home in different ways.

Instead, in terms of personal taxes, the budget did three small things."

Results and Impact A report by Tom Calver in The Times discussing the trend of the UK's wealthiest individuals being older, with an average age of 67.5. Notable figures like Tony Murray and Bernard Lewis, in their nineties or older, still hold significant wealth. Arun Advani, a wealth expert from Warwick University, suggests reasons behind this trend, including billionaires' reluctance to retire and the desire for succession planning. The report also notes the stability of wealth among the super-rich over the years, attributed to the changing economic landscape and lack of a robust technology scene in the UK. Overall, it provides insights into demographic shifts and wealth dynamics among the UK's wealthiest individuals, with contributions from experts like Advani.

The big story in the UK this week centers on the fate of Conservative Party Chairman Nadhim Zahawi. His tax affairs have come under scrutiny following a report that he'd paid £4.8 million ($5.4 million) in taxes to His Majesty's Revenue & Customs, including a 30% penalty for not paying on time in the first place. Zahawi's excuse was that he'd been "careless," and so far he's been allowed to stay in his post. But pressure is mounting. In this week's In the City, reporter Alex Wickham joins to assess the damage being done to the Tory party's popularity as a result of the scandal. As Wickham puts it, the incident "feeds into the narrative that the Tories just don't get it during a cost of living crisis." It's an impression that arguably goes over poorly with voters. EMBED If you ask Arun Advani, the interesting part of the story is less about why Zahawi paid the wrong amount, and more how small it was when compared with the earnings he generated. Advani, an associate professor in economics at the University of Warwick and a Research Fellow at the Institute for Fiscal Studies, explains the UK's current tax structure and where there's room for improvement. "Think about it less as pursuing the wealthy and more as pursuing wealth," Advani says. "The distinction there is it's not about trying to tax people because they're rich, it's about trying to tax money that comes from owning assets and getting return on that relative to taxing labor."

Results and Impact The Labour Party in the UK is considering a change to their plan to abolish tax breaks for non-domiciled individuals (non-doms), which was initially estimated to raise £3.2 billion annually. This change, proposed by the shadow chancellor, Rachel Reeves, would allow a four-year grace period for non-doms before they're subject to full UK tax. The proposed modification has drawn criticism from both political opponents and activists within the Labour Party, including Arun Advani, and has sparked debate about tax policy and the taxation arrangements of high-profile individuals like Rishi Sunak's wife.

Results and Impact The activity involves a study led by Arun Advani from Warwick University and the London School of Economics, examining the potential effects of scrapping tax perks for non-domiciled residents in the UK. The study estimates that ending these perks could yield £3.6 billion annually for the government. It suggests that the risk of wealthy individuals leaving the country in response is modest, based on analysis of 21 years' worth of tax data. Wealth advisers express concerns about the uncertainty caused by proposed changes, leading some clients to consider leaving. The study contributes to discussions on tax policy and its implications for government revenue and economic competitiveness.

Results and Impact Arun Advani and Andy Summer's CAGE Policy Briefing 19 cited in The Guardian: "Official UK statistics hide the true extent of polarisation. Figures for income inequality do not include capital gains, which make the rich considerable sums and attract lower rates of tax. While a comfortably off voter might think about this in terms of second-home sales, these were dwarfed by the sums made from selling or closing down businesses. The economists Arun Advani and Andy Summers found that by including capital gains with income, the average remuneration of the top 0.01% rose from £4.9m to £8.4m in 2017-18. They also found that the richest 5,000 people's share of total UK "wages" was 3.6% rather than the 2.2% recorded - implying that income inequality is much higher than previously thought."

Even if NI was your chosen tax, there were better ways of doing it, as a useful London School of Economics/Warwick University report pointed out. It estimated that removing existing NI exemptions and earnings limits could raise considerably more than £12 billion a year, making room for a cut rather than an increase in the NI rate. As it is, last week's announcement has further complicated our ludicrously complex tax system and introduced a bigger discrepancy into the tax treatment of the employed and self-employed.

Results and Impact Researchers at the London School of Economics, Arun Advani (CAGE Associate) and Hannah Tarrant, argued that the ONS figures had underestimated the share of wealth going to the richest households and that the analysis failed to account for business wealth.
They also highlighted that in the ONS data the "wealth differences between households from different ethnic groups are stark". "Households whose 'household reference person' [main respondent to the survey] is of white ethnicity are four times more likely to have wealth in excess of £500,000 than households with a black African reference person," they wrote. "Pakistani and Indian households are less likely to hold pension wealth, with home ownership being more important in their asset holdings."

Results and Impact James Murray (Shadow Financial Secretary): Our new clause 3 would require the Government to report to the House of Commons on the impact that the Bill will have on tax revenue derived from different sources of income. On the one hand, there is income from employment and self-employment, which the Government have chosen to tax hard. On the other hand, as new clause 3 mentions, there is income from dividends, rental properties and other sources of wealth, which the Government have left untouched. We know that the Government have chosen not to raise taxes for those with large portfolios of stocks and shares, and for landlords renting out multiple properties, but the Bill even lacks any mention of taxes on dividends, despite the Prime Minister saying that they would be taxed more. Perhaps when the Financial Secretary to the Treasury responds, he could explain why the Government have chosen to delay implementing a tax rise in dividends until the next Finance Bill or beyond. Will he give us his word that the increase in tax on dividends will definitely go ahead?
Dame Margaret Hodge: Or, as suggested by academics Advani, Summers and others, plug the unfair gaps in national insurance by extending it in full-not just the levy, but all of it-to all investment income and working pensioners: £12 billion. If we scrapped the upper earnings limit and equalised the rates of NICs paid between high and low earners, we would not just raise enough to meet roughly the same amount as the Government propose; we could cut the main rate of NICs by 1.25 percentage points.
Rachael Maskell (Shadow Minister for the Voluntary Sector and Charities): Take the London School of Economics wealth tax commission, which reported last December. It found that a tax on assets worth over £500,000 at 5% would draw a pot of £260 billion, which would pay for health and social care and that much-needed pay rise. The tax would be assessed on individuals rather than households, with the rate of tax being 5%, albeit with a standard payment period of five years, allowing a tax rate of 1% to be paid for each of those five years. The amount raised is the equivalent of income tax at 9%. Alternatively, if the threshold was £2 million, £80 billion would still be raised.

Results and Impact The Financial Times article discusses the potential scrapping of the non-domiciled (non-dom) tax status in the UK, which has left wealthy individuals uncertain about their tax situation. The Labour party's proposal to abolish this status has prompted concerns among non-doms, with some considering leaving the UK. The article also highlights alternative options for non-doms, such as setting up offshore trusts. Arun Advani, a researcher from the University of Warwick, conducted a study suggesting that abolishing the non-dom regime could bring in additional tax revenue. Overall, the article portrays a climate of uncertainty and potential migration among wealthy non-doms in the UK.

Four hundred thousand million pounds. That looks set to be the additional borrowing by government this financial year. It is eight times the pre-pandemic borrowing predictions, and comparable only to the world wars in terms of borrowing as a share of national income.

Unlike previous recessions, these numbers are in large part the result of active policy decisions, such as the introduction of the furlough and self-employment income support schemes. And as we (one day) come out of the health crisis, further spending is likely to be necessary, if "levelling up" and "building back better" are to be more than warm words.

Results and Impact Duncan Weldon (CAGE Media Fellow) gave a lecture on the subject of "British Decline Redux: What's gone wrong this time?" on Wednesday 8th March 2023

"The British economy is in a period of relative decline. Consensus forecasts point to a deeper recession and a slower recovery in the U.K. than in any other G7 economy. But the problems run deeper than a bad few years. Productivity growth since 2008 has been abysmal. Real wages for the median worker look set to be no higher in the mid 2020s than they were in the mid 2000s. The country has already had two lost decades of growth. Decline is, on one level, nothing new for the U.K. In a broad sense the economic history of Britain since the 1850s is the history of relative economic decline. Looking back at previous supposed periods of decline - especially in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the immediate post-second world war decades - is a useful way to measure the current crisis."

Results and Impact "Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn't be that women are the exception" (Ruth Bader Ginsburg)

Academic economics remains a male-dominated profession, particularly at the professorial level. But at CAGE we are lucky to host some of the brightest and best women economists, and to be supported by talented women higher-education professionals.

On International Women's day, we're celebrating some of the diverse work of these women, which sits at the cutting edge of economics, policy and history and contributes so much to making CAGE a success.

Below we have taken a snapshot of just some of the brilliant work that our women economists are working on right now. You can also take a look at the features on our website homepage and follow us on twitter to find out more about some of our women economists' fascinating research.

Primary Audience Public/other audiences
Results and Impact The special series demonstrates how economics can inform debate on racial inequality and shape the development of new policy. But there is still a long way to go to achieve equality and diversity of representation within the discipline.

This week, in a special web edit, CAGE has released a series of articles on race and diversity in economics. Last year, the murder of George Floyd in Minnesota sparked protests across the globe. Institutions, disciplines and individuals questioned how they could improve equality and diversity for the long-term. One year on, we're exploring the important role economics can play in highlighting and shaping race-related debate and policy. We also take a look at diversity within our own discipline. In a subject that lags behind many others, both in the diversity of its personnel and in the amount of race-related research undertaken, the road towards equality is likely to be long.
