The Productivity Institute
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Manchester
Department Name: Alliance Manchester Business School
Abstract
Summary continued:
The Productivity Institute will be led by the University of Manchester (UoM), whose Alliance Manchester Business School will act as its headquarters. The Productivity Institute will include eight partner institutions across the country: University of Glasgow, University of Sheffield, University of Cambridge, King's College London, Queen's University Belfast, Cardiff University, University of Warwick, and the National Institute of Social and Economic Research. NIESR will coordinate The Productivity Institute's policy outreach as well as establish and lead a national Policy Reform Group. In recognition of the uneven nature of the productivity puzzle across regions and sectors, The Productivity Institute will build capacity throughout the UK by establishing eight Regional Productivity Forums which will act as local focal points to engage our target users, scope their needs and challenges, and understand where The Productivity Institute can add value. These Forums will be supported by experts from the participating universities.

| Description | Government and Institutions related impact: Team members from the G&I theme have been engaged with several different Whitehall Departments including at The Treasury on regional institutions (Mike Kenny and Jack Newman) and DLUHC - speaking at the Levelling Up team away day in Wolverhampton (Andy Westwood) and to a series of regional economics profession network meetings (jointly led by DLUHC and the Treasury) on levelling up, regional inequality and lessons from/international comparisons with Germany and the USA (Andy Westwood and Fiona Hill). Following the report on Universal Basic Infrastructure, Diane Coyle, Stella Erker and Andy Westwood also spoke at a DLUHC internal seminar. As the General Election comes closer, members of the G&I theme have also been working closely with shadow teams and ministers in the Labour Party including on proposals for skills reform (HE, FE and apprenticeships), devolution and industrial strategy. This has included regular meetings and workstreams with the shadow Treasury, Education, Business and Levelling Up and LOTO teams over manifesto proposals and planning for government. Pro-Productivity Policies TPI Resarch Fellow, Dirk Pilat, has conducted a review of Productivity Commissions across the OECD, their purpose, mission and activities, which has been used in preparation of the blueprint proposal for the UK Growth and Productivity Institution, and was also presented at the OECD, and used in a report by the IVIE in Spain. This has subsequently led to a proposal for a Productivity Commission from the Spanish Government. Pilat and Bart van Ark also wrote a joint paper on an analysis of productivity in the G-20 and introducing a new typology of pro-productivity policies. This typology is currently being applied in a productivity study for Latin America by the ILO, has been included in a productivity proposal from the Saudi Ministry of Economic Planning, and inquiries from the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. National Productivity Week: The nationwide launch and coordination of a productivity awareness week (National Productivity Week), involving 17 events across the UK with Regional Productivity Forum, university, business, and think tank partners, helped to significantly broaden public exposure to productivity issues and potential solutions. In total we reached 1300 individuals. The launch of a blueprint for a Statutory Growth and Productivity Institution has been widely mentioned in the media. This was the first time there had been a national awareness campaign around productivity since 1963 and the initiative also included events from other ESRC funded programmes such as the POID and Mental health and wellbeing practices. Regional Productivity Forums: Our Productivity Forums based in the 3 devolved nations and 5 English Regions have instigated a number of projects that are already having an impact. Highlights include • In Northern Ireland work on management practices has led to the Office for National Statistics now including Northern Ireland in the Management Expectations Survey for the first time and the great work that the forum has done on raising awareness of productivity in Northern Ireland has led to David Jordan (Research Associate for the Forum between 2021 and 2023) being appointed as an independent advisor to the Northern Ireland Economy Minister. In addition, in 2023, Professor John Turner launched a 2-day Executive Education Course "Leading Productivity" which will be held again in September 2024. • In the Midlands a joint project with the CBI around productivity and UK subsidiaries of multinationals led to the publication of "Where best to invest? Insights from manufacturing multinationals and the risks of lost investment into the UK" and has informed discussions with the Harrington Review of Foreign Direct Investment, a forthcoming paper for the Office for Investment / DLUHC and a forthcoming academic paper. Public Sector Productivity The Public Sector productivity programme of work is informing a number of areas and as a result has the potential to have a significant impact on UK productivity. This work has led to a joint series of events with the Institute for Government, focused on practitioner experiences around public sector productivity. As a result, Productivity Institute research insights have been shared with a high number of senior policymakers and practitioners in the public sector. Professor Bart van Ark and Joel Hoskins were commissioned to undertake a background international literature survey for the Policing Productivity Review and as well as being cited in the 2023 report for the Home Office. It has informed the work of the Policing Productivity Review Team and language used in the literature review has subsequently been used in communications by Chief Constable Gavin Stephens. The researchers have also been requested by the Policing Productivity Review Team for a follow up report on the application of AI in the Policing Sector. Productivity Lab Scorecards The Productivity Lab has produced a series of scorecards and dashboards on productivity by region, building on an initiative from the Northern Ireland Productivity Forum, extended to other regions and two ITL3 (county-) level. The scorecards were presented at various Regional Productivity Forums, and members have taken them forward in the reporting of their own organisations, including the Midlands and London & South RPFs. A dynamics dashboard version was published as part of National Productivity Week. |

| Impact | Geographically, the Midlands lies at the heart of the UK, and has a population of 10.7m people, 435,000 active businesses, 5.1m jobs and an annual economic output of more than £258bn (2019), it forms a significant part of the national economy. Aggregate productivity for West Midlands and East Midlands has been consistently 0 to 15% below the UK average, though the productivity growth performance of the West Midlands has slightly improved relative to that the East Midlands. Historically the Midlands has been known for manufacturing, and still boasts a number of global brands including Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover in automotive, Alliance Medical in medtech, Mondelez in confectionery, Experian in business services, Bombardier and its predecessors in rail engineering, QinetiQ in defence, RollsRoyce in aerospace, and HSBC in fintech with its new UK HQ in central Birmingham. The challenge now is to translate the Midlands' manufacturing heritage into leading positions building on opportunities presented by industrial digitisation, and electric and autonomous vehicles and electrification. The main cities being Birmingham, Coventry and Wolverhampton in the West, and Nottingham, Derby and Leicester in the East. Birmingham and Leicester in particular have relatively young and diverse populations compared with the UK average, and all are very diverse. Higher level qualifications are increasing faster amongst the workforce than the national rate. The West Midlands is the fastest growing UK region for goods exports. FDI projects have almost tripled since 2011/12. If one considers the essential drivers of productivity, such as agglomeration, innovation, connectivity, firm start-ups, and experience effects, these point to the fact that the region's productivity should be better than it is. In order to fully close the productivity gap (i.e. match the UK productivity levels by 2030), the Midlands' productivity performance would need to increase at a rate of more than 2% per year, meaning the region would need to return to (and exceed) productivity growth rates previously seen in the 1980s and 1990s. |

| Title | TPI UK ITL3 Scorecards |
| Description | The TPI UK ITL3 scorecards are produced to assess the United Kingdom's subregional productivity performance through a range of productivity indicators and drivers. These scorecards include data for 179 regions, defined by the International Territorial Level 3 (ITL3). In addition data is available for 12 aggregate ITL1 geographies, covering the whole of the United Kingdom. Data is available for three indicators of productivity, and 12 productivity drivers, for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021.The current ITL3 scorecards complement the TPI UK ITL1 Productivity Scorecards, published by the Productivity Lab in January 2023. Providing a higher level of geographical granularity, the ITL3 scorecards can be used as a tool by policymakers at the regional level, to assess the productivity performance in their region, both relative to their ITL1 parent region as well as the UK as a whole, including key indicators that influence this performance.This dataset includes:Sources and methods documentation12 PDF files with the ITL3 scorecards for each of the ITL1 regions in the United KingdomFiles under embargo until December 1:Harmonised Input data at the ITL3 level Bulk data file with scorecard indicators and drivers at the ITL3 and ITL1 level |

The Institute will initially focus on eight research themes for various Research projects across the collaboration: Geography & Place, Social, Environmental & Technological Transitions, Human Capital, Organisational Capital, Knowledge Capital, Macroeconomic Trends & Policy, Institutions & Governance, and Measurements & Methods. The Institute will have a strong focus on regional engagement through the establishment of a network of eight Regional Productivity Forums (RPF), including critical regions in England and the devolved nations. The Forums will be involved in the implementation of research insights, the design of practical business and policy interventions, and in providing input to the development of the Institute's future research agenda. The Forums' members include stakeholders from policy community and business leaders from local, national and multinational enterprises. Each RPF chaired by a regional business leader and supported by a Regional Forum Lead from each of the partner universities. A National Productivity Council (NPC) will develop and support the national debate on productivity, and promote robust and consistent policies to address the UK's chronic productivity shortfall. Led by NIESR, the NPC shall oversee the Institute's policy engagement at the national level and represents the Institute at UK policy level. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Theme leaders provide leadership for the research themes they are responsible for, designing the theme's research programme, reviewing research proposals and assigning researchers' time to specific projects. Leads for the Regional Productivity Forums are responsible for the activities of the Regional Productivity Forums. They work with the RPF's chairpersons to recruit a group of active participants, develop a programme focused on business and policy engagement that identifies the key productivity issues in the region/nation's context, disseminates the Institute's insights, formulates research priorities, and develop proposals for business innovation projects. |

The Forums will be involved in the implementation of research insights, the design of practical business and policy interventions, and in providing input to the development of the Institute's future research agenda. The Forums' members include stakeholders from policy community and business leaders from local, national and multinational enterprises. Each RPF chaired by a regional business leader and supported by a Regional Forum Lead from each of the partner universities. A National Productivity Council (NPC) will develop and support the national debate on productivity, and promote robust and consistent policies to address the UK's chronic productivity shortfall. Led by NIESR, the NPC shall oversee the Institute's policy engagement at the national level and represents the Institute at UK policy level. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Theme leaders provide leadership for the research themes they are responsible for, designing the theme's research programme, reviewing research proposals and assigning researchers' time to specific projects. Leads for the Regional Productivity Forums are responsible for the activities of the Regional Productivity Forums. They work with the RPF's chairpersons to recruit a group of active participants, develop a programme focused on business and policy engagement that identifies the key productivity issues in the region/nation's context, disseminates the Institute's insights, formulates research priorities, and develop proposals for business innovation projects. |

| Results and Impact | Critical analysis of the Government's levelling-up strategy that makes the case that - despite the centrality of the levelling up to the government's post-Brexit agenda, it is difficult to see how it can fundamentally transform the regional inequality without addressing the relationship between the centre and localities. Levelling up needs local regions with revenue streams that are not directly controlled by the Treasury, the ability to adapt to local requirements for investment on a long-term basis, and the strategic capacity to link issues of infrastructure to education, housing, training. Investment and productivity. At the same time none of this will work until local authorities are properly accountable to their communities and the chains of accountability flow downwards and not simply up to central government. |

| Results and Impact | Sets out the contours of the UK Governance-Productivity puzzle and argues that a new framework is needed in which processes of decision-making and policy implementation move beyond a government-centred approach to account for more complex, de-centred forms of network governance. This is one of the most significant debates confronting UK public policy, focused on the development of network governance and how it has led to both an erosion of state capacity and attempts to reconstruct it in the light of the pandemic. |

| Results and Impact | 21st November 2023: Bart van Ark interviewed by Gavin Jackson; ''The outlook for British Economy is Better than Expected''. he outlook for Britain was bleak at the start of 2023. The country was on its fourth prime minister in four years, after the brief rule of Liz Truss ended in financial turmoil. Even that political instability was a minor worry for many Britons, given high energy prices, rising interest rates and falling wages. Yet in the end, the worst that could be said for Britain's economy in 2023 was that it went sideways. Growth was minimal-gdp increased by around 0.5%-but stagnation, not disaster, was the outcome. Can Britain expect to do better in 2024? Many of the challenges of the past year have faded. The cost of natural gas has fallen sharply, a big cause of the fall in inflation from 10% in December 2022 to a forecast 4.5% in the same month of 2023. Continued strength in the labour market means wages are now growing in real terms. The Bank of England has either finished raising interest rates-from 0.25% in 2022 to 5.25% in July-or will do so soon. Many Britons will still see their household incomes fall Yet many Britons, other than pensioners, will still see their household incomes fall, says Adam Corlett of the Resolution Foundation, a think-tank. Many homeowners have not yet felt the pinch as they have been on fixed-rate mortgages, which typically last two to five years. Even if the bank does not raise interest rates in 2024 it will still feel for many as though monetary policy is tightening. There could be some wiggle room later in the year to deliver pre-election tax cuts. But current fiscal policy, alongside the government's tax and spending decisions, is set to take money out of Britons' pockets. Subsidies for energy use will end, as will direct payments to poorer households. Tax thresholds, too, have been frozen in cash terms, so that much of the increase in real wages will go to the government rather than to workers. The long-term structural factors behind Britain's economic sluggishness are unlikely to change, either. Productivity, as measured by output per hour worked, has risen by only 6% since 2010. With already high employment and a shrinking working-age population, Britain would have to triple its productivity growth to achieve the same improvement in GDP as before the pandemic, reckons Bert van Ark, an economist at Manchester University's Productivity Institute. Inflation could prove to be less sticky than expected, giving the Bank of England room to ease up on monetary tightening. But overall, even if the outlook is better than it was a year ago, Britons can still only cross their fingers and hope it continues not to be as bad as originally feared. Gavin Jackson, Finance and economics correspondent, The Economist This article appeared in the Britain section of the print edition of The World Ahead 2024 under the headline "Stagnation continuation? |

| Results and Impact | 16/7/22 Diane Coyle contributed to a listicle article which included a link to the Productivity Puzzles podcast - subsequently, the podcast reached No. 3 in the government category in UK podcast rankings. 7. How can we increase productivity? Do we all need to work harder? Diane Coyle Bennett professor of public policy at the University of Cambridge and a director of the Productivity Institute The UK fares poorly on productivity compared with some similar economies. At its broadest, productivity is how effectively an organisation (a business or government agency) or a country turns the resources it has into useful outputs. It has nothing to do with how hardworking or lazy people are; it grows when workers have better equipment and software to work with. Productivity has varied greatly between eras, growing fastest in the mid-20th century but flatlining since the 2008 financial crisis - the slowdown being most pronounced in some of the UK's best-performing industries, such as pharmaceuticals, finance and software. Productivity trends are driven by waves of technological innovation but also by national context: does pure research get converted into commercial revenues? Is there adequate national infrastructure, or training for technical skills? Can startups thrive? Can investors rely on stable government policies? The answer to such questions in the UK is often no, hence the disappointing comparison with other rich economies. This matters, because productivity is the measure of whether living standards are improving. It gives the economy extra output with no need for additional labour, material or capital. Bringing inflation down will be harder here than in countries that are more productive, because we will have to do more to squeeze growth in order to rein in inflation. To go deeper: For all you ever wanted to know about productivity, try the Productivity Puzzles podcast - the first episode is about why productivity matters. |

| Results and Impact | Pubilshed 20 April 2021. Dr. Matthew Agarwala interviewed by the Guardian for an article titled 'Green stimulus plan could create 1.2m UK jobs in two years, research finds.' Some economists, however, have raised doubts over the extent to which care work - even if not CO2-intensive per se - could be classed as "green employment" and whether it is helpful to conflate the two labour spheres. "Improving social care (more jobs, better paid) is worth doing in its own right," said Matthew Agarwala, from the Bennett Institute for Public Policy. "It does not need a tenuous link to 'green jobs'. It might not help us with environmental objectives, which just shows how much more important it is to make progress on these elsewhere in the economy." |

| Results and Impact | Bart van Ark, Professor of Productivity Studies at Alliance Manchester Business School and the Managing Director of the Productivity Institute, looks at how investment in digital skills sets a path to greater productivity post-COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has created one of the biggest challenges in policy making - how to protect people's health while avoiding lasting damage to the economy. This difficult task is further complicated by the pandemic worsening inequalities in the labour market. There are many different recovery forecasts, but what is clear is that the pandemic has accelerated the path of digital transformation. This is changing things in virtually every industry in the economy and now is the time for government, business and individuals to invest in digital skills to help turnaround the UK's low productivity growth path. |

| Geographic Reach | National |
| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| Results and Impact | 10 November 2020 In thislecture, Lord Sainsbury answers the productivity puzzle: how do we speed up the UK's economic growth? The 'Productivity Puzzle' has troubled economists for a generation, but there is a simple explanation. We need to understand that value-added per capita varies between the sectors of the economy depending on their production efficiency and the competitive advantage they have in their markets. If we do so, then by analysing the performance of the different sectors of the economy we can see why the economic growth of the UK has been slow and what we need to do to speed it up. Lord Sainsbury was Finance Director of J. Sainsbury plc from 1973 - 1990 and Chairman from 1992 - 1998. He is the founder of the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, and founded and chairs the Institute for Government. About the lecture: Established in 2019, the Prais Lecture typically examines issues relating to productivity, economic growth and human wellbeing. It was formed to commemorate Professor Sig Prais, a colleague, friend and champion of the National Institute for Social and Economic Research for over 60 years. The core focus of his research was on productivity and industrial structure, where he concluded that the poor quality and education were at the root of the UK's productivity problem. Past speakers include Lord Sainsbury, and Bart van Ark from The Productivity Institute. |
