Title LSE research : Washington's revolving door 
Description Former political staff turned lobbyists in the US claim their high salaries reflect their abilities, but critics complain they are merely exploiting political connections. Mirko Draca explains who's winning the argument... Lobbying is big business in US politics, and getting bigger. Many commentators have voiced suspicions about the ties between lobbying firms, private sector businesses, and politics. They allege that a "revolving door," which sees employees moving from public office to private companies and back again, potentially jeopardises the public interest. Often highly paid, these lobbyists claim their salaries simply reflect their high ability, but critics complain those exiting the revolving door are attractive to lobbying firms because they can exploit their political connections. In this film Mirko Draca explains how he and his colleagues, Christian Fons-Rosen and Jordi Blanes i Vidal, measured the extent to which former political staff who become lobbyists benefit from their ties to government. This involves separating the issue of ability from the issue of political connections. Fortunately, the political system contains conditions for testing this: periodic elections mean that political contacts are vulnerable. By looking at what happens to a lobbyist's earnings when their former employer leaves political office, Draca and his colleagues have been able to measure the value of being politically well connected.

Title The economics of incentives 
Description Luis Garicano, a Professor of Economics at LSE, thinks that the effect of the global market on incentives can go some way to explaining the current financial crisis. Applying his model of incentives to the world of football, he demonstrates that it is only when we consider rewards that we can understand the way the economics of such diverse situations operate.

Description PART THREE: CENTRE OBJECTIVES
3.1 The Big Questions
The Centre studied the determinants of economic performance at the level of the company, the nation and the global economy. To do this it focused on the links between globalisation, technology and institutions (in particular those in education and the labour market) and their impact on productivity, inequality and wellbeing. There have been five major issues addressed in the Centre's work.
First, as globalisation and information communication technologies have exposed goods and services that were previously un-traded to the forces of international competition through offshoring of jobs, we have tried to understand how to harness the opportunities and mitigate the threats of this change and to analyse the effects of globalisation on inequality. The globalisation programme, which undertakes this work, also seeks to understand the political economy of maintaining a coalition for continued economic integration (e.g. through expansion of the EU and regional trade agreements). The globalisation programme was led by Prof. Gianmarco Ottaviano.
Second, as productivity growth is critical to national wellbeing, but GDP per hour in Britain at the start of our programme remained 20% below that of the US and France and 10% below that of Germany, we needed to focus on technological, managerial and organisational innovation. These are especially important in an era where we seek to move towards a low carbon economy where pressures are felt keenly by business, as more policies to reduce greenhouse gases are introduced. Major empirical investigations of policy effectiveness in these areas have been undertaken. The director of the programme to address these issues was Prof. John Van Reenen.
Thirdly, given the importance of long-run equilibrium effects for evaluating productivity policies and the need to rigorously combine micro and macro analyses, we also developed a new Macro-economic Growth Programme led by Prof. Francesco Caselli. This sought to evaluate the role of business and industrial policies in supporting growth; to incorporate uncertainty and volatility shocks into macro models of business cycles; to uncover whether moral hazard and pay incentive structures could cause systemic financial crises and whether improvements could be made to financial regulation to reduce the risk of future financial crises. The macro programme fed into some of the other programmes in its attempt to develop workable macro GE models that could be calibrated with behavioural parameters estimated from the experimental and non-experimental data in programme projects (e.g. P2C). The Macro Programme was so successful it has now been spun-out into the stand-alone ESRC Centre for Macro-Economics under former CEP Programme Director Nobel Laureate Chris Pissarides.
Fourthly, we wanted to know how we could sustain communities in the face of these global changes. Changing attitudes, faster migration, weak community ties and crime, pose challenges for social cohesion and inward investment which helps sustain economic growth. Understanding these tensions was the focus of our new Community Programme which was led by Prof. Alan Manning.
Fifthly, we wanted to understand how, despite lower unemployment rates, the rapid increase in inequality had not been reversed - employment rates were poor for many groups such as the low skilled and youth and gender pay gaps remained stubbornly high. Our Labour Programme to tackle these issues was led by Prof. Steve Machin. Crucial to understanding drivers of growth and inequality was our Education Programme led by Prof. Sandra McNally. This addressed the question of whether it was the long tail of adults with poor basic skills (the "hard to reach") that was a cause of inequality, dampened productivity and a brake on growth and how this could be changed through educational reform, improving the school-work transition and basic skill policies.
3.2 Outcomes
We have produced over the period 2010 to 2015 a huge number of publications, 385 CEP discussion papers, 275 refereed articles, 14 books, 143 CentrePiece articles, 28 CEP policy and election analyses, 31 CEP reports and special papers, and have completed more than the 43 objectives we set ourselves in 2010. Detailed accounts of each project and the outputs and individuals associated with them are to be found at Annex A. Changes made to the objectives because of data availability, staffing, changes in government policies are dealt with in Section 3.3.a. Before this, we give an overview of the main findings to the questions each programme proposed above.
3.2.1 Globalisation Programme
Globalisation and ICTs have exposed goods and services that were previously un-traded to the forces of international competition through offshoring of jobs. In the period since the global financial crisis political support for international trade liberalisation and economic integration have been eroded. Even in the EU, the world's leading integrated area, "Euroscepticism" has gained ground in many of its member countries. This has happened most prominently in the UK where a referendum of EU membership will be called soon.
The aim of the CEP's Globalisation Programme was to understand how to harness the opportunities and mitigate the threats of globalisation with special emphasis on its effects on inequality. The Programme also aimed at understanding the implications for the political economy of maintaining a coalition for continued economic integration.
What are the reasons why international economic integration may be sowing the seeds of its discontent? What can be done about that?
Key findings: Diverging destinies
Our work found that the main reason why people and politicians may worry about globalisation lies in the vast heterogeneity of economic outcomes that the analysis of detailed microeconomic datasets reveals across people and firms even within the very same country and sector. While workers vastly differ in skills, firms vastly differ in their ability to exploit those skills. It is this ability that determines whether firms internationalise or not, and thus whether they succeed or not in reaping the gains from globalisation and in spreading those gains among their stakeholders. In turn, it is workers' skills that determine whether they are employable or not by successful firms. Thanks to the joint efforts of world leading researchers in the field, CEP has been at the cutting edge of theoretical and empirical studies aimed at understanding the implications of this heterogeneity.
Trade and "superstars"
First, CEP researchers have carefully documented how trade volumes, employment, turnover and value added are highly concentrated among a small group of firms trading with many countries and/or in many products. Such a highly selected group of "superstar" firms drive the aggregate trade performance of countries. This is true both in manufacturing and services, a crucial sector of the UK economy that the CEP has also zoomed on. Selectivity is even more marked when it comes to foreign direct investment (FDI).
Trade liberalisation and selection
Second, trade liberalisation can have very different effects on firms of different size and productivity. Due to fixed export costs, only firms that are productive enough (and thus profitable enough) are able to engage with international customers and suppliers. To these firms trade liberalisation opens up new foreign markets and this improved market access more than compensates them for additional import competition suffered in their domestic markets. Less productive firms are, instead, unable to overcome the fixed export costs. Only suffering from import competition in their domestic markets without compensating access to foreign markets, less productive firms shrink or are forced to shut down altogether. On the one side, we have shown that, by reallocating market shares and productive resources to more productive firms (and products within firms), churning benefits the national economy as a whole. On the other hand, it also causes the destinies of different firms and workers to diverge even within narrowly defined sectors. We have studied the growth of China as a canonical example of this. Chinese imports have caused job and wage losses in many areas, but it has also stimulated innovation and productivity growth both through competition and as a rapidly growing market for exports and investment.
Firm and worker inequality
Third, this divergence has important implications in terms of inequality both between firms and between workers. Firm inequality may explain why support for economic integration is much weaker among small and medium enterprises than among bigger ones. The case of the EU is paramount. A plethora of regulations is imposed on firms of all sizes in order to obtain access to the Common Market, no matter whether firms are indeed capable of accessing that market. Several small and medium enterprises, which expect to never make it to the export market, tend to perceive those regulations as additional artificial costs with no attached benefits. As for workers, the effects of trade liberalisation can be very different on different types of workers with different levels of human capital. In particular, we have uncovered new channels through which the opening of international trade is likely to enhance wage inequality and raise unemployment when more productive firms are also better able to screen workers with heterogeneous abilities.
Labour market polarisation
Fourth, focusing on workers, we have shown that OECD labour markets have become increasingly "polarised", with employment in the middle of the skill distribution falling relative to the top and also the bottom of the skill distribution. This is due to technological factors as we have found that information and communication technologies are key drivers of this polarisation. It is also due to the international fragmentation of production and the associated flight of jobs to developing economies, especially but not exclusively in manufacturing. This is because "offshored" jobs tend to be those of workers in the middle of the skill distribution. Also sectoral specialisation plays a role as long as the rankings of sectors by input productivity and workforce skill differ across countries. In particular, we have shown that when this is the case, trade integration can cause the relative wage of high skill workers and wage inequality even within the high skill sectors to increase in all countries.
Punchline and policy impact
The picture that emerges is a situation in which overall aggregate gains mask a complex pattern of asymmetric individual gains and losses. This asymmetry between winners and losers does not follow the line of sectors or countries closely. Winners and losers coexist also within the same sector in the same country, sometimes even within the very same firm. This explains the widespread backlash against globalisation and casts a shadow on the social and political sustainability of further international economic integration in the absence of enhanced mechanisms of redistribution of the corresponding gains.
Research work at the CEP in this area has been very influential, especially in the European policy debate. In particular, the idea that understanding aggregate economic performance and current political stances requires first of all understanding the underlying microeconomic heterogeneity has caught the attention of the European Central Bank (through its COMPNET programme), the European Commission (especially on the issue of the "misallocation" of productive resources across firms), the Inter-American Development Bank (through its ELSNIT network the CEP has been invited to join) as well as the BIS and the HMT through meetings and consultations especially with respect to the referendum on the EU membership of the UK.
3.2.2 Productivity and Innovation Programme
The aim of the CEP's Productivity and Innovation Program was to understand the fundamental forces causing some firms and countries to be more prosperous than others. This, we argued, was critical in order to address the reason why the UK productivity position was disappointing and what we could do to improve it.
The period since the global financial crisis has been deeply disappointing for GDP per hour growth with the UK now 14% below the productivity levels we would have expected on pre-crisis trends. What can be done to change this?
Management Practices
Our work found that two broad factors mattered a lot for productivity: management and new technologies. Weak management practices have long been suspected to be a cause of low productivity, but it is very difficult to measure these in a convincing way. CEP has pioneered new ways to quantify management quality through in-depth interviews with managers that we now have implemented in over 20,000 organisations in 34 countries around the world. We began with manufacturing firms, but have now expanded to other sectors such as hospitals, retail stores and schools. Our measurement tools have been expanded into national statistical offices working with the US Census Bureau, the UK ONS and their Pakistan and German equivalents.
Using this new tool, we have shown convincingly that management is closely correlated with organisational performance, helping explain around a third of the productivity dispersion between UK firms, for example. Furthermore, we have run some "clinical trials" injecting our management practices into a treatment group of firms and then observing how they performed over the next two years compared to a control group who were randomised out of the trial. The experiments imply that most of the correlation between productivity and our management measures is causal.
Not only does management help explain firm-level productivity differences, it also helps explain country-level differences. For example, we calculate that about half of the efficiency (total factor productivity) gap between the US and UK is due to management. Across the world about 30% of these productivity gaps are due to management.
But what factors cause poor management in Britain and elsewhere? We show that the key factors are: (i) low levels of competition; (ii) poor skills; (iii) weak governance (i.e. a preponderance of family-run firms). The UK does much worse than world leaders like the US, Germany, Japan and Sweden in this respect.
New Technologies
Technical change is at the heart of our theories of growth. We developed a new theoretical framework that allows research and development (R&D) to have effects on productivity directly (the firm's own efforts) and indirectly (by piggy-backing off the R&D efforts of others). Implementation of this model shows that the social return to R&D investments is two to three times higher than the private returns, which is why the private sector left to itself will invest "too little" in innovation. This is important because levels of UK business R&D spending have been falling since the early 1980s whereas they have been rising in most other OECD countries.
It isn't just the level of R&D which matters, but what areas it is directed towards. Take climate change - an area the Productivity programme has worked a lot in. Resolving climate change will require much investment in green technologies. We showed that an effective policy to do this is through petrol prices- when these rise, car firms re-direct their R&D efforts to clean technologies such as electric cars and away from "gas guzzlers" like SUVs. So a carbon tax not only reduces climate emissions through lowering demand, it can stimulate the supply of less greenhouse gas emitting cars.
Finally, we also use our framework to look at information and communication technologies (ICT). The quality-adjusted prices of ICT have been falling dramatically over the last four decades. We show that the adoption of ICT makes a big difference for productivity, but that its impact depends a lot on the management practices we discussed earlier. Some organisations (like the NHS) spent billions on ICT with little effect on productivity.
There was a doubling of productivity growth in the US in the decade from 1995 as the quality improvements in ICTs accelerated. Despite access to the same technologies, this did not happen in the EU. We show that if the EU could make its people management practices as flexible as those in the US, it would have prevented about half of this divergence in productivity growth rates.
Pulling things together: The LSE Growth Commission
The Programme has been extensively involved with policy discussions over the severe austerity following the Great Recession. But we felt that the debates over demand had marginalised the arguably more important question of what could be done to improve the long-run supply side of the economy.
To address this John Van Reenen and Tim Besley co-chaired the LSE Growth Commission which reported in 2013. We drew on the extensive analysis of CEP on productivity and the Institute for Government's expertise in the plumbing of UK policy making. This acted as a way of pulling together our research and focusing it on policy recommendations.
We argued that the UK had enjoyed some success in the three decades leading to 2007 in bridging some of the prosperity gap between ourselves and leading nations. But it also had some major problems, especially around the areas of failing to invest in the long-run in human capital, infrastructure and private investment/innovation.
We made a series of concrete policy proposals to address this. First, we argued for a new institutional architecture over infrastructure policy. This suggestion was put into policy in 2015 in the government's Infrastructure Commission. Third, we called for greater competition in the banking sectors. Some of this has been adopted in terms of improving switching and Challenger Banks.
Although many of our recommendations have not (yet) been followed - such as the call for an Infrastructure Bank - the impact that our major report (and book) have had and the way in which they condense the analytic findings of the Centre with a policy oriented focus have been a great success for the Programme
3.2.3 Macro Programme
Consequences of Natural-Resource Wealth
One focus of the programme has been the consequences of natural-resource wealth - particularly mineral resource wealth. For many years economists and political scientists have entertained the possibility that countries experiencing resource windfalls, such as discoveries of mineral deposits or persistent increases in the prices of the commodities they export, generate adverse political dynamics that end up negating the potential economic benefits - a conjecture often dubbed "the natural resource curse." Over the last few years there has been much progress in rigorously testing this conjecture and it is fair to say that as a result of this work the conjecture has been upgraded to an accepted fact. Some of the most significant work in establishing this consensus has been done at CEP.
In particular, Caselli and Michaels (American Economic Journal: Applied Economics) have looked at the impact of royalties from oil extraction accruing to Brazilian municipalities which have significant oilfields. They found that the local population experiences no improvements in living standards whatsoever as a result of these fiscal windfalls. The explanation appears to be that the revenues from oil extraction are diverted by local politicians for private gains. Caselli and Tesei (Review of Economics and Statistics) have examined the impact of increases in the price of a country's principal export commodity on its political regime. Fiscal windfalls from commodity-price run-ups tend to make autocratic regimes even more autocratic. Lei and Michaels (Journal of Development Economics) have showed that the probability of civil war increases after a country discovers a giant oil field. Caselli, Morelli, and Rohner (Quarterly Journal of Economics) found that the presence of oil near an international border is an important trigger for international war.
The programme also helped make progress on the theoretical mechanisms linking natural resource abundance with adverse socio-political and economic outcomes. In particular, Caselli and Coleman (Journal of the European Economic Association) clarify the role of natural resources in triggering ethnic conflict.
Trade and Volatility
The macroeconomics programme has also been active in the area of international macroeconomics, particularly on whether macroeconomic interdependence across countries (globalisation) has increased volatility - or the susceptibility of economies to experience booms and busts cycles. A frequently-voiced concern is that when countries lower their trade barriers, and engage in more international trade, they will be pushed to specialise in only a few industrial sectors (the ones where they have been most productive). In turn, this increased specialisation means that productivity fluctuations on demand in particular sectors will have a magnified impact on the overall economy. Indeed, in policy circles this alleged increased volatility is often cited to argue that the gains from opening up to trade may not be as large as simple theories of comparative advantage suggest they should be.
Caselli, Koren, Lisicki, and Tenreyro (revise and resubmit, Quarterly Journal of Economics) have upended this conventional wisdom. They pointed out that international trade can also reduce a country's exposure to domestic economic shocks. The simplest example is when a country experiences a decline in domestic aggregate demand (for example, because the government has to engage in austerity). If the domestic economy is open to external trade, domestic producers can soften the blow by trying to export more. More generally, if macroeconomic shocks that invest the entire economy are more significant sources of volatility than shocks specific to individual sectors, international trade is a source of diversification that lowers overall volatility - contrary to conventional wisdom. This novel, contrarian view is precisely what the data seems to buttress: Caselli et al find that, for most countries in the world, income volatility since 1970 has been less than it would have been if trade barriers across countries had not come down to the extent that they have.
Eurozone Sovereign Debt Crisis
While the focus of the macro programme has been mainly on academic work (albeit with policy relevance), it has also sought to contribute to current policy debates more directly. One example is a paper on the political economy of the Greek debt crisis by Ardagna and Caselli (American Economic Journal: Macroeconomics). The main contribution of this work is to highlight aspects of the policy-making process in the Euro area (and, by extension, in the EU) that have contributed to policy decisions that are now widely seen as suboptimal. These institutional features concern the frequency and format of meetings among heads of government/finance ministers; as well as the timing and format of communication between meeting participants and the press. One implication of this work is that procedural changes in these areas might lead to better policy-making in the European arena.
3.2.4 Community Programme
Research from the Wellbeing programme and elsewhere shows that it is the quality of people's interactions with others that is an important determinant of their wellbeing. An important source of wellbeing must therefore be the quality of interactions within communities. However, since communities are not static, and are affected by economic and social changes that are beyond the power of community members - or maybe any agents - to control, changes to them can be a major source of stress and concern for them. The Communities programme has investigated a number of aspects of the ways in which communities might be changing and how this affects people and the way they live their lives.
Changing Values
One of the motivations behind behaviour is that people care what others think of them and there are norms of 'good' behaviour. These norms may encourage pro-social behaviour but can also sustain harmful norms. Therefore people may behave in a way that attracts the admiration of others. From this it follows that changes in the types of behaviour that is admired should be associated with changes in behaviour. Manning and Shanghavi explored whether there have been changes in the type of people who are admired over 65 years using a question asked by Gallup almost every year since the late 1940s on 'which living person do you most admire'. Perhaps surprisingly they find that the type of responses today are very similar to what they were then - politicians are the most likely to be admired, followed by 'no-one' and 'friends and family' though there have been quite large changes in the intervening period. In these dimensions, people's values have not changed as much as is sometimes claimed.

Economic Shocks and Population Growth
Local areas specialise in different industries so that even global shocks to those sectors have local consequences. One of the consequences for communities is the changes to population caused through outward and inward migration. Using 60 years of US data, Amior and Manning showed that there is a strong population response to local economic shocks. These migration movements may act to eliminate local differences in unemployment rates as they reduce the competition for jobs in the depressed region and increase it in the booming regions to which people move. But their research shows that unemployment rate differentials across areas are very stable and argue this is because the shocks themselves are very persistent. As fast as population adjusts to one bad shock, another one follows behind it so the unemployment rates are never equalised.
Bell, Bindler and Machin also explore the long-run impacts of entering the labour market in good or bad economic times on crime. They show, using UK and US data, that those who leave school in a recession are more likely to be offenders throughout their lifetime. A typical recession increases lifetime offending by about 6% for males.
Immigration
Immigrants have to live somewhere and this inevitably causes changes in the communities where they come to live. One impact they might have is to compete for access to scarce local resources which in turn can lead to a souring of community relations as arguments over prioritisation ensue. Battiston, Dickens, Manning and Wadsworth explore this for the case of social housing. In recent years immigrant households are slightly more likely than natives to be in social housing but once one controls for relevant household characteristics, immigrants are significantly less likely to be in social housing than natives -what the authors' call the "immigrant penalty" (i.e. their lower access to housing) However, there has been change over time - the immigrant penalty has fallen over time probably because of changes in the rules governing the allocation of social housing, changes that were designed to reduce the discrimination against ethnic minorities that had come to light in the 1980s. We conclude therefore that unfair prioritisation of social housing to immigrants has not happened.
One other aspect of concern to many communities is the impact of immigration on crime. Bell and Machin and Jaitman and Machin have explored this and conclude that the 'asylum wave' of the late 1990s led to a small but significant increase in property crime, but the immigration of Eastern Europeans after 2004 had no effect. They also found that neither wave had any effect on violent crime. They argue this is consistent with the demographic profile of the two waves as asylum seekers were much less likely than the Eastern Europeans to have high levels of education and to be in employment. Any effect of immigration on crime can be explained by the characteristics of individual immigrants rather than the fact that they are immigrants per se; the same is true for their attachment to the labour market.
Integration
How well communities, made up of people from different backgrounds, function depends in part on the degree of mixing between them. One indication of such mixing is marriage between groups. Manacorda and Manning have explored the effect of the proportion of an ethnic group on the inter-marriage rate using data on African Americans in the US. They find that if an ethnic group forms a minority of an area's population the fraction of the minority marrying a partner from the majority group rises very fast. The implication is that the greater dispersal of migrants is likely to foster more mixing between ethnic groups than happens if they are living in enclaves.
Crime
The research on crime in the Community programme has also studied wider economics of crime research questions. The causal impact of police on crime was identified through the large surge of police that were mobilised to the streets of London following the July 2005 terror attacks that hit the capital. Crime fell because of this, and also rose once the police numbers were reduced again six weeks following the attacks. The impact of education on crime has been studied in a series of empirical papers that uncover a crime reducing effect of education. Part of this is due to an incapacitation effect of keeping individuals in school and part emerges as a causal long run crime reducing effect due to individuals having higher levels of education.
The crime research of the Community programme was showcased in a conference that CEP ran jointly with the Inter-American Development Bank when they hosted the 7th Transatlantic Crime Workshop. This attracted leading specialists in criminology and in the economics of crime who participated in the two day conference held at CEP.
3.2.5 Labour Programme
Study of the labour market has been a key element of the CEP's work programme. Rising wage inequality over the last thirty five years, stubbornly persistent gender gaps in wages and employment, union decline and the hollowing out of jobs from the middle part of the skill distribution all make today's labour market different from the past. Coupled with these changes, the programme's research is one that has taken on a high research and public policy profile since the start of the financial crisis as real wages have significantly fallen for UK workers.
The aim of the CEP's Labour programme was to generate a better understanding of the way that the labour market and its institutions function, and to connect findings from this empirical research agenda to labour market policy. The programme has published research on falling real wages, on job polarisation and on what shapes gender differences in labour market rewards.
Falling Real Wages
Our work has shown that recent years have seen very poor real wage performance for most UK workers since the financial crisis. Since 2008 the median worker's real wage has fallen by 10 percent and, even as unemployment has come down since 2012, there is little sign of any recovery back towards their pre-crisis levels. For some workers - notably young workers - real wage falls have been very severe. Real wage levels for workers under 25 have fallen back to the same level they were at in 1997. Even though employment (and unemployment) have proven resilient compared to previous economic downturns, and this is at least in part due to a cheaper price for labour, lack of real wage growth has dovetailed with relatively poor productivity growth as recovery from the economic downturn has proven to be a slow and drawn out affair where workers have not done well at all.
These falls in real wages mean the labour market today is not offering the real wage gains that workers had become used to in the 1980s and 1990s when median real wages grew, on average, at 2 percent a year. Moreover, levels of wage inequality are at their highest levels since the late 1970s, having risen significantly since then, and show no signs of reversal despite stalling in the economic downturn because workers throughout the wage distribution almost all suffered real wage falls. This research shows this to be a key feature of the labour market that is unprecedented in historical terms as real wage growth has stalled in previous economic downturns, but not fallen over as long a time horizon.
Job Polarisation
A further cause of falling living standards of many UK workers empirically studied by the programme has been the hollowing out of middle skill jobs, driven by technological changes where computerisation and automation have replaced jobs done by workers that feature routine tasks. These negative shifts in labour demand for workers doing routine task jobs have been a feature of most advanced countries in the last two to three decades.
Empirical study of the economic impact of industrial robots, based on cross-country evidence, has probed the role of technology in shaping job polarisation in more detail. It uncovers evidence that industrial robots increased both labour productivity and value added, and that their introduction has gone hand-in-hand with a reduced hours share of low- and skilled and middle-skilled workers.
Gender Gaps
Although women have made great strides in the labour market and have narrowed the pay gap with men, the average gap is still over 20 percent and becomes larger as women progress in their careers, even for those employed in highly skilled occupations. Studying rich data on lawyers, our research has shown clear evidence of a gender gap in performance. The differential impact of the presence of young children and the differences in aspirations to become a law-firm partner account for a large part of these observed performance differences. Gender gaps across skills and countries have also been studied, with the finding that women's comparative advantage in producing services rather than manufacturing goods has raised relative demand for female labour and, as a consequence, female relative wages. Other work in the programme has synthesised findings from experimental studies to conclude they offer new insights into gender differences in preferences. In particular, women appear to have less preference than men for risk and competition and may be more sensitive to social cues, and these are factors underpinning gender gaps in the labour market.
These research findings on gender gaps matter for the position of women in the labour market since they imply that it is not just a "matter of time" before women fully catch up with men. The fact that persistent wage gaps and inequalities grow as women progress further in their careers indicate they are unlikely to disappear until the state or market provision of family childcare changes.
Policy Impacts
Research findings have been disseminated to policy debates and directly influenced policy in a range of ways. The programme has hosted and run conferences on real wage stagnation and problems of low pay. Members of the programme have held positions on the Low Pay Commission to set minimum wages, on various Pay Review Bodies and on the Migration Advisory Committee. Presentations have been given at HM Treasury and at the Bank of England on real wages and the productivity puzzle, and on the proximate causes on long run increases in wage inequality. Papers have been presented at the economic profession's leading conferences and together with members of the programme organising a number of themed sessions at these conferences.
3.2.6 Education Programme
The Education and Skills Programme
The UK has long suffered from a 'long tail of underachievement' which is hindering productivity, growth and social mobility. Over the last 5 years, the Education and Skills Programme has tackled questions about how educational quality can be improved in schools; the extent to which school quality is valued; and whether the ability to access higher education influences labour market returns and social mobility.
Quality of Education
Our work has found that school autonomy is important for pupil performance in the context of radical changes to school structure in disadvantaged areas. School reforms have taken place in many countries in the recent past: free schools in Sweden, charter schools in the US and academy schools in England. Our findings are based on the original academy policy in England, which involved the conversion of traditional (community) schools to autonomous, state-funded schools that are managed and run outside the control of local authorities. These findings cannot be naively extrapolated to the vast expansion of this policy since 2010, where the nature of change has been very different (ongoing work will investigate this). However, our work shows that school autonomy is one aspect of improving the quality of education. The mechanisms behind this relate to a change in leadership and management structure.
These findings complement cross-country evidence in our programme showing that autonomous government schools have higher management scores than regular government or private schools. The better performance is not linked with autonomy per se but with how autonomy is used. Having strong accountability of principals to an external governing body and exercising strong leadership through a coherent long-term strategy for the school appear to be key features that account for a large fraction of the superior management performance of such schools.
Our research also sheds light on the mechanisms that enable management to improve school quality. For example, how teachers are treated is very important - with a more flexible promotion and pay system being one aspect of this. However, in addition to getting incentives right, 'teaching to teach' can be important. For example, we see this in our research about the diffusion of teaching strategies directed at how young children are taught to read. We find evidence that strategies like 'synthetic phonics' (which was progressively taught to teachers across England from the mid-2000s) matters for helping children to read early.
We have also made comparisons of educational performance across the UK. There are often strong similarities in educational structure and attainment across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which makes evaluations in one country of strong interest in another. For example, one finding based on a policy change in Northern Ireland is that restrictive policies that prevent access to high quality schools (i.e. grammar schools in the Northern Ireland context) can damage average student achievement across the region.
Our broad research in this area has been brought together in several published overviews. Examples include the book (co-authored by Sandra McNally): 'Making a Difference: What Works in Education - and What Doesn't' and volumes of the 'Handbook of the Economics of Education' (co-edited by Stephen Machin). We have also used our expertise to make a practical difference to government policy. For example, Stephen Machin has served as Special Advisor to the Education Select Committee on Academies and Free Schools.
Valuing School Quality
Our research programme has also addressed how parents value school quality in terms of revealed preferences: in their school application decisions for their children and in where they choose to live.
Following the theme of school academisation discussed above, one line of enquiry is how parents perceive this new school status. This suggests that in general parents do not value 'academisation' as such, although there is some variation by family background. For example, it is the parents of children with high prior attainment appear who give more weight to school autonomy when making school application decisions.
However, in general parents do value school quality and pay for this in terms of higher house prices. Using variation in house prices across district boundaries, our research shows that parents value both raw measures of school performance and the value added of schools. A one-standard deviation change in either measure raises house prices by about 3 percentage points on average.
Experimental research in the programme has shown the value of good information to students when they come to make decisions about post-compulsory educational choices. We designed an information package about the costs and benefits of pursuing post-compulsory education. We evaluated it in the context of a Randomised Control Trial where it is delivered to some schools in London but not others. We find that it has a strong positive impact on knowledge on attitudes and intentions - concentrated amongst those most likely to drop out (i.e. boys and those from lower socio-economic groups).
Higher Education: access, returns and social mobility
Accessing higher education is a gateway to success in the labour market, in view of the persistent wage returns to having a university degree. Our research has shown that there have been increasing wage returns to postgraduate qualifications compared to undergraduate degrees. Part of the reason is that postgraduates and 'college only' workers have different skill sets, do different jobs and are therefore imperfect substitutes in production. Postgraduates have skills and job tasks which complement computers more and have benefited more from their spread than have college only workers. Thus relative demand has shifted over time in favour of postgraduates and this has been an important factor in explaining rising wage inequality and declining social mobility since those from low socio-economic backgrounds are less likely to access post-graduate education.
Our research has also shown that although students from private schools are much more likely to access higher education than those educated in state schools, university entrants from state schools tend to do better in terms of class of degree. Notwithstanding this, our research also shows that the private/state school wage differential has risen significantly over time, and an important factor has been faster rising educational attainment for privately-educated individuals.
One trend that has not led to increasing inequality is the rising number of overseas students attending British universities. Our research shows that this has not 'crowded out' domestic students but has benefited them as it has led to higher average funding per student than would otherwise have been the case.
Our research and interest in 'The Economics of HE' has prompted two of our researchers to create a new virtual research network by this name. This is an online resource dedicated to empirical quantitative research into higher education (http://economicsofhe.org/). The goal is to provide an online platform for new findings so that academics, policy makers and the general public can learn about the workings of higher education systems in the UK and elsewhere in the world.
3.3 Revised Objectives (detailed)
We achieved most of our five-year objectives and several in addition, and report in detail on our outputs and progress with these in Annex A. We report in this section on those objectives which had to be altered or dropped because of data problems, staff moving on, a conflict of interest and the government deciding to drop one of the policies we wished to evaluate.
3.3.1 Changes to Objectives
Community Projects
For Project C2C , there was a conflict of interest since the investigator designated to research the efficacy of the Immigrant Points System became a member of the Migration Advisory Committee; he therefore added a new objective on Immigration and Health investigating the claim that an increase in immigration puts additional or differential pressure on welfare services and as such might affect the net fiscal contribution of immigrants.
C2A To what extent are migrants from Eastern Europe integrating? was dropped because of an absence of data on east European migrants but was replaced by additional objectives on immigration and crime (see C2A(i)). In investigating the components of healthy communities we also added a further project on the impact of local economic shocks on population (project C2Aii).
Project C3B on organised crime was dropped because the level of geographical variation in the data that we managed to obtain was too coarse to generate precise and fully credible estimates. A complementary project on the role of economic incentives in criminal activity was undertaken by Iyengar who researched the impact of incentives from paid employment on reductions in insurgency activity in Iraq.
Education Projects
For the part of the Project E2b focusing on the relative achievement of children from low income families, we found that local authorities were very resistant to giving us schools admission data until year 5 when a metropolitan authority agreed to do so. However, this was too late for work in this grant period, but we intend to work with the data from 2016 onwards and to produce a paper.
Labour Markets Projects
L2C "What is the structure of the market for child services (such as day care) and does it hold back the ability of women to progress in the labour market?" The project was started but dropped because McNally the investigator moved from LSE to take up a Chair at Surrey and needed to complete an added project (E2Bi) on the impact of an information campaign of career and further education qualification advice for schoolchildren (see above).
L3B "Can the massive planned expansion of apprenticeships be made to work" was dropped because the guaranteed apprenticeship policy plans of the then Labour Government were dropped by the Coalition Government. Although we continued to contribute advice on committees such as UK Government's Expert Panel Review of Apprenticeship and Steedman produced reports (see page 46) our biggest success was to win a BIS competition for the first research centre devoted to research on vocational education which started in June 2015. (http://cver.lse.ac.uk/about/default.asp).
For project L3C identifying how basic numeracy and literacy skills affect economic performance and what policies improve them, the required PIAAC data only became available from OECD in 2013/14. We worked on the data for 12 months, but encountered difficulties resolving the earlier IALS data which was needed to carry out the cross-time study we had planned to do. We concluded we were not able to carry out a sufficiently rigorous study and instead started two new projects both based in the Education Programme. The first, teaming up with the Education Endowment Foundation, was to carry out a randomised control trial on 51 schools to evaluate the impact of different teaching methods for literacy. The second led by Blanden has been to look at the effect of free pre-school education on child outcomes in primary school. We exploit the staggered implementation of free part-time pre-school for three-year-olds across Local Education Authorities in England in the early 2000s. http://cep.lse.ac.uk/pubs/download/dp1352.pdf.
Macro Projects
M2c on central banks using experiences of other countries to improve economic models and monetary policy decisions was dropped because it required more time and effort than was justified by the expected findings. However it was replaced with two additional projects: the first on the Greek Debt Crisis -Project M2b(ii) and the second on the relationship between trade and macroeconomic volatility Project M2a(i).
3.3.2 Additional Objectives
As well as replacing objectives, we raised money to pursue additional ones. Sometimes this happens in response to critical events. An example, is the LSE Growth Commission, reported above (and under P2D in Annex A) which was set up in response to the UK's slowest recovery from any recession since the war. Sometimes we raise extra resources to fulfil the programme of work we had planned for 2010 but were unable to achieve with the ESRC funding awarded. An example of this is the Wellbeing Programme. Whilst much of our work considers how to improve and share economic growth, Layard argued that if it was the case that increasing GDP alone does not increase wellbeing above a certain level of income (the Easterlin Paradox), policy makers needed evidence of what does. For them to take subjective wellbeing seriously, we have to be able to show, in a quantitative way, what causes wellbeing and how wellbeing affects other things that policy-makers care about, like education and physical health. Researchers at the CEP are currently working on estimating an integrated life-course model, which treats wellbeing both as an outcome of interest and as a causal determinant of other things, in addition to carrying out extensive empirical work investigating different causes of happiness and how well-being affects important outcomes.
Generally we added projects which enabled us to deepen our approach to the questions set by exploring comparative evidence from other countries. Our work evaluating the increase in patient choice in the NHS in the mid-200s found compelling evidence that competition increased healthcare efficiency and quality. This was influential in future government reforms, such as the ruling out of price competition in the 2012 Health and Social Care Act. Building on this work we initiated with Yale University and Carnegie Mellon University a huge study of variation in hospital prices in the 306 US cities. These price differences are the primary driver of variation in healthcare spending in the private sector.
3.3.3 Contribution to ESRC Strategic Priorities
The Centre's work on productivity, skills, innovation and trade have been devoted to understanding the determinants of economic performance and sustainable growth, and stand at the core of ESRC's strategic priority "Economic Performance and Sustainable Growth" 1a, 1c,1d, 1e, 1f. The LSE Growth Commission's report and book which was led by the Centre drew on several streams of work from these programmes. They were discussed with and disseminated to a very wide range of public, policy, business and practitioner audiences in England, Scotland, Wales and overseas (e.g. the Council of Economic Advisors in Washington DC, the OECD in Paris and the Bank of Rome). Our work has been widely cited by government and led to the establishment of an independent Infrastructure Commission (October 2015) to be led by Lord Adonis, more competition in retail banking and changes in published data on school progression.
Project M2Ai) addressed directly the strategic priority "Stability of Economic Performance and growth", (b) Effects of perception of risk c) Relationship of macro-economic and micro-economic behaviour). Bloom's paper "Does uncertainty reduce growth? Using disasters as natural experiments" analysed the impact of uncertainty in driving business cycles using natural disasters as a causal instrument. To help evaluate the impact of uncertainty on investment, employment and growth he developed a huge database on economic policy uncertainty and made this publicly available at www.policyuncertainty.com - and evaluated the impact of this on investment, employment and growth. The data is also public access and has been included as well by on-line data providers like Bloomberg, Reuters and FRED. Project M2B identified the threat of CEO pay incentive structures to financial crises.
Work by Martin in project P2c on climate change related innovation, addressed directly ESRC's second priority, Sustainability of Economic Performance and Growth: a Transition to a low carbon economy. Layard's work on Wellbeing, although only receiving pump priming funding from ESRC from 2013, engaged with the sustainability of wellbeing and economic growth but also met ESRC's strategic priority looking at connections between economic activity and wider human welfare and wellbeing. Work in the programme covered strategic priority 8 "Early Years tracking through the life course" with its construction of a model of wellbeing of the life course with a number of state variables of interest measured at different points in an individual's life cycle (including wellbeing, income, employment, conduct/criminality, health and cognitive skills). The model was estimated using cohort data that tracks individuals over time (e.g. the British Cohort Study and the Avon Longitudinal Study of Children and Parents). The work considers policy interventions aimed at improving wellbeing and assessing their cost effectiveness. The community conflict strategic priority from "Influencing behaviour and informing interventions" was covered by our Community programme's work on how values form and are passed on to other generations and on immigration, integration of migrants and on crime.
Finally issues of inequality (Strategic Priority "Vibrant and Fair Society") were dealt with by 3 of our programmes: Education, Labour and Productivity, with examples referred to above.

PART FOUR: IMPACTS, PUBLICATIONS, DISSEMINATION, ENGAGEMENT, CAPACITY BUILDING, LEGACY
4.1 Major Scientific Impacts
Clean Innovation in the Automotive Industry (CEP Productivity Programme Ralf Martin, John Van Reenen, Antoine Dechezlepretre with Philippe Aghion and David Hemous): There is little controversy that reducing climate-changing emissions will require new technologies as well as improvements in existing technologies. Which policy framework can bring about such technological change is rather more contentious. Using a newly available dataset with information on all patenting activities in the world, we study what determines whether technological innovation in automobiles is of the "clean" variety such as electric and hydrogen cars, or the "dirty" variety (the internal combustion engine). The internal combustion engine has been the dominant propulsion technology for more than 100 years for cars. As a consequence the knowledge stock for producing "dirty" cars is globally much more advanced than for the production of "clean" cars implying that "dirty" cars are cheaper and more convenient to use. Our study reveals two feedback loops that imply that unabated market forces will further widen this gap. Firstly, firms are more likely to continue doing research in an area where they have been active in the past. Secondly, they are more likely to conduct more research in areas where they can benefit from insight gained by other firms. Hence, because most incumbent firms have been active in dirty technologies and are surrounded by other such firms, there is a clear persistence and direction towards "dirty" in technological change. Not all is lost, however. We also find evidence that policy can successfully overcome this bias and re-direct technological change towards clean innovation. Exploiting that different firms tend to be focused on different markets geographically we show that firms that are more exposed to countries with higher fuel taxes tend to conduct more research in "clean" technologies. What is more the feedback loops in the direction of technical change will accelerate this effect. Hence, we find that for instance a carbon tax that increases petrol prices world-wide by 40% could be sufficient to close the gap between the clean and dirty knowledge stocks within a 10 to 15 year period. The paper "Carbon Taxes, Path Dependency and Directed Technical Change: Evidence from the Auto Industry" by Martin, Van Reenen, Aghion and others was presented at a conference following the 2012 Nobel Symposium in Stockholm which brought together leading researchers in the field of the economics of climate change and will appear in a special issue of the Journal of Political Economy dedicated to the topic and is currently listed as one of the mostly downloaded articles from that journal.
Spatial Variation in Economic Activity - A New Model.(CEP Globalisation Programme, Daniel Sturm, Gabriel Ahlfeldt): One of the key challenges in understanding cities are what the agglomeration and dispersion forces are that shape modern cities with their high concentrations of employment in a few central locations which are surrounded by much larger residential and mixed use areas. Ahlfeldt et al. 2015 revisit this question and estimate the strength and spatial decay of agglomeration forces in cities. To guide the empirical analysis, the paper develops an empirically tractable model of a city, which consists of a large number of locations that are linked by a transport network and in which residents and firms compete over space. The model can capture the rich heterogeneity of cites and does not rely on unattractive simplifications used in previous research, such as assuming that cities are perfectly circular around a single central business district.
Ahlfeldt et al. 2015 combine this model with unique data from Berlin which covers the pre-war, division and reunification period. The dataset has a very fine geographical disaggregation with data for nearly 16,000 city blocks that cover all of Berlin. The building of the Berlin Wall is a massive shock to the relative attractiveness of different locations in West Berlin, which is reversed in 1989. Ahlfeldt et al. 2015 use the large spatial variation in land prices, population and employment induced by this shock to estimate the importance and spatial decay of both productivity and consumption spillovers in Berlin.
They find, for example, that doubling the density of workers in an area of the city, increases the productivity of firms in this area of the city by about 7 percent. This illustrates that productivity of different locations of a city cannot be treated as a fixed parameter as often assumed in planning exercises, but actually depends on the level of economic activity in a location. They also find that the benefits of proximity to other workers decline with distance between workers. The estimated spillovers between workers in different locations are already close to zero after about 500 meters.
The theoretical model developed in this paper and the estimated strength of agglomeration forces will be the basis for much future work in urban economics. Even though the paper has only appeared in print in November 2015 it has already attracted over 100 citations on Google Scholar. Follow up work will use the model to provide new foundations to estimate the costs and benefits of transport infrastructure improvements. In particular, the model will make it possible to quantify the large relocation effects of both workers and residents in cities in response to new transport infrastructure. These relocations change spillovers and hence productivity and amenities in different parts of the city.
Management Practices in the Public Sector (Productivity Programme: John Van Reenen, Nick Bloom, Raffaella Sadun): Our work on management practices has changed the way economists think about productivity and influenced the design of business policies. Van Reenen featured this in his 2014 keynotes at the American Economic Association, Marcus Wallenberg Foundation Conference, Richard Stone Lecture and Spanish Economic Association. Bloom's Kauffman Medal (for the best young researcher on Entrepreneurship) cited this work when he achieved his prize. It was also cited when Bloom and Van Reenen were awarded the European Investment Bank Prize in 2014 for outstanding achievements in social sciences. Whereas the first wave of this work focused on manufacturing where productivity is relatively easy to measure, more recently we have launched new waves of surveys in the public sector, particularly hospitals and schools. We have been interviewing nurses, doctors, head teachers and managers in the UK and eight other countries: Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, Sweden and the US.
We find that our measures of management quality are strongly associated with better outcomes as measured by survival rates, length of stay and infection rates in hospitals; and pupil achievement and value added in schools. This suggests that the survey questions on monitoring, targets and people management - most of which are common to the private and public sectors - are key factors influencing organisation outcomes.
In healthcare we find that competition is an important driver of improved management and performance. In England (Review of Economic Studies, 2015), for example, we use exogenous variation from the political marginality of constituencies around neighbouring hospitals to generate increases in competition (hospitals are rarely closed in politically marginal constituencies) combined with the mid-2000's reforms to the NHS. This is consistent with Cooper and Gibbons' findings on competition fostered by the introduction of patient choice (Economic Journal, 2011) which led to improvements in quality of patient care as measured by increases in heart attack survival rates and reductions in pre-operation average length of stay. In schools it appears that autonomy combined with strong governance and accountability is a key factor in success (Economic Journal, 2015). This chimes with Machin and Eyles' influential paper on City Academies, (http://cep.lse.ac.uk/pubs/download/dp1368.pdf) but generalises the results to more countries.
Real Wages and the Productivity Puzzle (CEP Labour Programme: Steve Machin, Alan Manning) A striking feature of the recent economic downturn that was triggered by the financial crisis of 2008 has been the very poor productivity and real wage performance of the UK economy. Unlike previous downturns, real wages have significantly fallen and productivity has fallen to much lower levels than in the past and has not recovered as it did then. The LSE Growth Commission highlighted that, despite progress in bridging the UK productivity gap with the US, France and Germany over the 1980-2007 period, a significant gap remained. This has been exacerbated by the crisis which has hurt British productivity a lot more than in the US (with continental Europe in between). Understanding whether this is a temporary result of the downturn or a permanent feature of the UK economic landscape is obviously a huge and important issue for incomes, jobs and inequality. We have studied several aspects of this 'productivity puzzle'.
A special session organised at the 2013 Royal Economic Society conference in a collaborative venture with the Institute for Fiscal Studies featured three papers: on productivity (Pessoa and Van Reenen); real wages and unemployment (Gregg, Machin and Fernandez-Salgado); and on effects on wages of the changing composition of employment (the IFS paper). These papers were published alongside one another in the Economic Journal May 14. Our involvement in debates about falling real wages and living standards has also featured in our work with the Resolution Foundation. Machin and Van Reenen were members of their Commission on Living Standards. Manning produced work on minimum wages and was a member of their review of minimum wages ('More Than a Minimum': Resolution Foundation Final Report). Pessoa has also collaborated, with research on recent patterns of job polarisation where the pronounced job loss in the middle of the skill distribution has contributed to falling living standards of many workers in the UK in the recent past.
The analyses revealed that a significant part of the productivity puzzle has come about because low and falling real wages have meant that firms have invested more in labour and less in capital, so that employment performance has been relatively good, and investment performance has been poor, and so productivity has remained low.
CEP Methodology using the Experimental Approach (Pischke and all programmes): The natural experiment (or 'quasi' experiment) approach to establishing a coherent identification strategy in empirical economics is now well established. However, quite a lot of work using such natural experiments is very narrow, and often of too small a scale for its results to be generalised. Ambitious and innovative CEP research has looked at large scale natural experiments to generate causal effects, and it is expected that this work will have a significant impact on the academic economics profession in due course.
The methodology underlying the experimental approach adopted by CEP projects has been pioneered by CEP researcher Steve Pischke in his influential textbook "Mostly Harmless Econometrics", which is being used as a core econometric textbook in economics departments all over the world. Prof. Pischke has now brought out a students' manual that can be used in conjunction with the textbook to help students learn the techniques.
Examples of the methodology in action are to be found in all CEP's programmes. For example, we have already referred to Sturm and Ahlfeldt's work on agglomeration and dispersion forces using the division and reunification of Berlin Wall as a natural experiment.
The methods of rigorously establishing causal relationships using non-experimental data are also apparent in the re-emergence of quantitative economic history as a rapidly growing field in economics. This has been facilitated by innovative data collection methods, the application of modern modelling techniques and the ability to digitalise data possible with improvements in computer processing power in recent years. Dittmar for example has studied (in his Quarterly Journal of Economics paper) the impact of innovation and patterns of diffusion of new technologies by looking at the introduction of printing presses in 15th century publishing houses in Germany. Work by two of our students, Claudia Steinwender's work on the transatlantic telegraph and Reka Juhasz's work on the impact on infant industries of the trade on France during the Napoleonic Wars, also exploited historical natural experiment episodes to enhance our understanding of information frictions, and to assess whether temporary protection from trade with an industrial leader can foster the adoption of new technology. In particular, by exploiting the fact that the post-war location of the cotton industry was determined to a large extent by the historical accident of the wars, Juhasz showed that the location of cotton spinning within France was persistent, and firms located in regions with higher post-war spinning capacity were more productive 30 years later. For this work both students won the 2015 inaugural John Hicks Prize for an Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation and Steinwender the 2014 WTO Essay Award for Young Economists, and her work has been cited in The Economist and Der Standard.
In addition to projects involving natural or quasi experiments the Centre has made outstanding use of randomised control trials of real experiments and interventions. Our productivity programme ran randomised control trials (RCTs) in Indian textile firms introducing consultants to improve management practices with results cutting quality defects in the treatment group by 50% and increasing overall productivity by 10% (http://cep.lse.ac.uk/pubs/download/dp1042.pdf). Similarly, we have also run an RCT on the introduction of work life balance management practices (the option to work from home) in the largest travel agency in China. Both these papers were published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics. Our Wellbeing and Education programmes concluded data collection in 22 secondary schools on the impact of the Resiliency Programme. This was a positive psychology programme that we implemented to build resilience, adaptive coping skills and social problem-solving to help children respond to daily challenges. In the Education programme McNally and colleagues ran field experiments in 60 London schools to see how an information campaign about economically relevant aspects of career choices affected education decisions - staying on, changing course choices etc.
4.2 Major Policy Impacts
The LSE Growth Commission: The political and media debate over growth has focused on the issue of the speed of fiscal consolidation over the short-run (e.g. the next 5 years). But in some ways this "austerity" debate is a distraction from the real issue of how to improve longer-run growth rates. To tackle this issue, John Van Reenen and Tim Besley set up the LSE Growth Commission (http://cep.lse.ac.uk/LSEGrowthCommission/). Throughout the year a panel of distinguished Commissioners took public evidence from leading decision-makers in business, governments, international financial institutions and academia. Supported by a secretariat of CEP researchers, the Commissioners drew on the best available evidence (a lot of it emanating from CEP research) to bring out a report which was launched on January 31st 2013 to much media attention. All this evidence - including videos of public hearings held at the CEP - is posted on http://cep.lse.ac.uk/LSEGrowthCommission/. The report was launched at a public meeting attended by 400 policy-makers, academics, business leaders and journalists and received positive coverage in lead articles in 19 newspapers including the Economist, Financial Times, and all the broadsheets. A short film outlining its recommendations was made. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSb9bContNs.
The report has been widely disseminated amongst civil servants and politicians in key government departments (e.g. HM Treasury, Department for Business, Innovation & Skills, and Department for Education), all of which have expressed interest in discussing further the detail of the report's proposals. Key figures in the political scene have made reference to the work of the Commission - including Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England, and Gus O'Donnell, former Cabinet Secretary. Vince Cable wrote in the New Statesman (6/03/13) "I share the view, set out well by the LSE Growth Commission, that long-term growth involves a major and sustained commitment to skills, innovation and infrastructure investment." International organisations such as the IMF and the OECD have also expressed interest in discussing the Commission's findings.
The writing and launch of the report were only the first stage - our attempt to get the recipe for future growth on the table. In the preparation of the report we interviewed many in government, think-tanks, quangos and have established strong on-going links with the OECD, the IMF, in Scotland (jointly with the Scottish Council for Development and Industry), and in Manchester (jointly with the New Economy Manchester). These links, and our partnership with the Institute for Government, experienced in taking research ideas to those who can embed them in policy, were a vital precursor to getting the recommendations of the report known about and acted on. We consider the work of the Commission to have been an important contributing source of evidence and analysis towards the establishment by the current government of the Infrastructure Commission under Lord Adonis.
Policy Impact: The Wellbeing Programme: The Wellbeing programme has won a major coup in promoting to the UK Government, the UN and the OECD, the need to measure subjective well-being as an essential part of measuring quality of life alongside other social and economic dimensions. Following a resolution by the UN General Assembly recognising the pursuit of happiness as a universal goal and calling on member states to elaborate measurements of happiness and economic wellbeing, Layard has co-written with John Helliwell and Jeff Sachs a World Happiness Report to provide a balanced survey of all the different causes of wellbeing for presentation at the UN in April 2012, 2013 and 2015, with further planned in 2016 and 2017. The reports have been downloaded a million times each. In 2010 David Cameron made an announcement recognising that GDP was an incomplete way of measuring a country's progress and that plans to introduce a wellbeing index in addition to tracking economic growth were to be introduced from 2011. A CEP team surveyed the evidence on possible measures and wrote a proposal for the four questions that should be asked. The UK's Office for National Statistics (ONS) adopted these proposals for the regular national survey that began in 2011. Layard and his colleague Paul Dolan sit on the relevant ONS committees: the Measuring National Well-being Advisory Forum and the Measuring National Well-being Technical Advisory Group.
Layard also worked with OECD to recommend including measures of wellbeing in international measures of GDP. Following three large conferences on 'What is Progress?', each of which featured presentations by CEP researchers, the OECD has now recommended international measures of wellbeing that are heavily influenced by the CEP proposals adopted by the ONS. The OECD Guidelines on Measuring Subjective Wellbeing (2013) begin with the questions that CEP persuaded the ONS to use in the UK.
As well as working at the national policymaking level, Layard worked at grass roots level to benefit the general public by launching with Seldon and Mulgan 'Action For Happiness' www.actionforhappiness.org in April 2011 which provides information and courses and sets up groups and local actions to help develop happiness in homes, workplaces, schools and communities and to reduce suffering from mental health problems. In December 2015 it had signed up 59,330 members in 170 countries.
The Wellbeing Programme has had another major impact on mental health policy. Layard demonstrated in two reports that mental health is a major determinant of wellbeing -more important than income. Having persuaded the UK government to expand psychological therapy services - the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme - by means of a cost-benefit analysis which showed that wider provision of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) would have zero net cost to the UK Treasury and by providing evidence of success from two successful CBT pilot programmes, Layard has become an official adviser to the programme and has been a central figure in securing and implementing it and extending it to patients with long-term conditions even during the NHS reorganisation. By the summer of 2014, it was seeing an annual rate of 13% of the six million people in need - with self-referral allowed. Of those treated, 45% were recovering during treatment. The target for access is 15% by 2015 and it is likely to be hit. It has been acclaimed by Nature as 'world-beating'. Between 2010 and 2015 Layard has successfully pushed for the IAPT to be rolled out for children as well and redoubled efforts in the face of Department of Health cutbacks with the result that the programme will expand from covering 15% of need to 25% of need by 2020 at the same cost as the CEP calculated was needed.
Both the CEP Education and Wellbeing programme have taken these concerns with mental wellbeing of children further with a project on building Life skills in schools. CEP piloted a field trial of the 18-hour Penn Resilience Programme in 22 South Tyneside, Manchester and Hertfordshire schools which showed some success on school performance and good short term results on emotional health. (DFE Research Report 097, April 2011). Because these faded over time, CEP in 2013 instituted with the Education Endowment Foundation and How To Thrive a trial of a much longer 140-hour programme based on a worldwide search for effective programmes and carried out on 60 schools in 10 LEA's. The results of this longitudinal evaluation will, if positive, provide by 2018 the first evidence based research arguments for the wider introduction of such a programme and the associated training required into the UK Schools Personal, Social and Health Educational curriculum for 10-15 year olds
Education Programme: What Works Best for Teacher Evaluation and Appraisal? How does one identify and attract good teachers? Richard Murphy, a young research officer at CEP, partnered with the Sutton Trust to produce a high profile report that attracted large media and policy attention. His work, which won an ESRC Impact Prize, also draws on previous research of the CEP's education programme and has helped put performance pay for teachers firmly on the policy agenda. In 2011, on the basis of a review of the literature on teachers, his first report recommended 'a more flexible promotion and pay system' that is 'based on improvement in classroom results, reviews by head teachers and external appraisals'. It was presented to the Deputy Prime Ministers Research and Analysis Unit, to the Education Select Committee in 2012 and was quoted in the School Teacher Review Body's 21st report that came out in December 2012. This report was accepted by the Secretary of State for Education http://media.education.gov.uk/assets/files/pdf/g/government%20response.pdf and featured in the Autumn Budget Statement recommending a change in government policy, to make teacher pay more reflective of ability.
EU Emissions Trading System and Climate Change Levy: Our work on the impacts of large-scale regulation aimed at pricing pollution to control carbon emissions has helped influence EU policymaking. The European Emissions Trading System (ETS) is the single largest policy effort to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. First implemented in 2005 it has been operating for 10 years. Despite this there is very little solid evidence about its causal impact. Ralf Martin and others in the Productivity Programme have carried out a first evaluation of the ETS using firm level data typically restricted and controlled by the respective governments which collected it. They gained access to such datasets in France, the UK and Germany. They found a significant causal impact of the ETS on energy consumption and thus emissions and their estimates suggest that the ETS has reduced manufacturing emissions by up to 15%. The negative effects on employment are small, although this effect is less robust.
The team has also drawn attention to weaknesses in the implementation of the ETS policy. The EU's initial plan was to phase in auctioning of permits (rather than handing them out free) from 2013. Emitters can trade permits so as to lower their total abatement cost and hence the total cost of complying with the cap on CO2. However, the European Commission (EC) decided in 2009 that free permit allocation would be continued for industries deemed at a "heightened risk of carbon leakage". The CEP research based on new firm-level data gathered in telephone interviews with managers of 761 manufacturing firms in six European countries revealed that the practice whereby regulated firms are offered compensation to prevent them from relocating results in substantial over-compensation for their given carbon leakage risk. This inefficiency could be dangerous in inciting a political backlash against emissions training in times of broad public spending.
In response to this finding, the team have formalised a method of efficient permit allocation which reduces aggregate risk of job loss by more than half without increasing aggregate compensation. The first recommendation is to exempt trade exposed industries only if they are more carbon intensive. The second is to consider exposure to trade only with less developed countries. By modifying the carbon leakage criteria along these lines, we estimate that EU governments could raise additional revenue from permit auctions of up to €3 billion per year.
The evidence presented in this paper (American Economic Review, 2013) and this paper (http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S092180091400161X) has been presented to staff at DG Climate, the European Parliament's Environment Committee, DECC in the UK and the UN Climate Conference sponsored by the European Commission. We anticipate that they will inform ongoing reform efforts of the EUETS beyond 2020. However, its relevance transcends the European policy context.
We have also completed work (Martin, Wagner and De Preux, published in the Journal of Public Economics http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0047272714001078) on the Climate Change Levy (CCL) in the UK. We estimate the impacts of the CCL on manufacturing plants using panel data from the UK production census. Our identification strategy builds on the comparison of outcomes between plants subject to the CCL and plants that were granted an 80% discount on the levy after joining a Climate Change Agreement (CCA). Exploiting exogenous variation in eligibility for CCA participation, we find that the CCL had a strong negative impact on energy intensity and electricity use (we cannot reject the hypothesis that the tax had no detrimental effects on economic performance and on plant exit). Our research also questions the economic rationale for granting large numbers of firms an exemption from the levy and is recently being used by civil servants at HM Treasury trying to reduce the number of exemptions granted. In addition the work received excellent coverage in Handelsblatt, La Libre, New York Times, Platts, Vox, ZEIT and Science (2014, Editor's choice) among others.
Exploitation Route Our findings contributing to policies in a wide range of areas - for generating long term, sustainable and inclusive growth; to trade policy; to what works in schools; to the production of skills at all points of the education cycle; to generating improvements in living standards - will be taken forward by continuing collaboration with H.M. Treasury, Department for Education, Department for Business Energy Industry and Skills via the setting up of the Second LSE Growth Commission. Our work on the production of skills, youth transitions to work and post-16 training will impact on government policy by a close association of a spinoff centre of the CEP, the Centre for Vocational Education Research (established by BIS) with the Department for Education and will be undertaken in close association with stakeholders in the vocational education sector. Our analysis of policies most effective in supporting and increasing local economic growth will be taken to stakeholders by a further spinoff from CEP, The What Works Centre for Local Economic Growth. This will systematically review the evidence base on policies for local economic growth using a robust methodology; work with and convene events and workshops for local authorities, LEPs, central government and business to help them understand and make better use of evidence in designing and delivering policy; improve the quality of the UK evidence base by helping to develop 'demonstration' projects, or local policy experiments. Our findings and research on the economics of crime will be progressed by the CEP's new collaboration with Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary which will allow for the first time an immense resource of crime data to be analysed in a rigorous way which will inform crime prevention, resource allocation for police force funding, contribute to improved detection rates and to study online criminal activity. Finally, our work on wellbeing will continue to inform policy through our participation as the cross-cutting evidence strand of the What Works Centre for Wellbeing; our annual writing of the World Happiness Report for the UN; the contribution of the CEP Mental Health Policy Group to promoting continuation of CAMH and IAPT polices; the promotion of mental health and wellbeing in the population by Action for Happiness (co-set up by Layard of the CEP); work with the OECD on promoting wellbeing as a key objective of government policy; and the development for policymakers of a new form of cost benefit analysis with wellbeing as the unit of benefit

Description The Centre's work on productivity, skills, innovation and trade have been devoted to understanding the determinants of economic performance and sustainable growth, and stand at the core of ESRC's strategic priority "Economic Performance and Sustainable Growth" 1a, 1c,1d, 1e, 1f. The LSE Growth Commission's report and book which was led by the Centre drew on several streams of work from these programmes. They were discussed with and disseminated to a very wide range of public, policy, business and practitioner audiences in England, Scotland, Wales and overseas (e.g. the Council of Economic Advisors in Washington DC, the OECD in Paris and the Bank of Rome). Our work has been widely cited by government and led to the establishment of an independent Infrastructure Commission (October 2015) headed by Lord Adonis, more competition in retail banking and changes in published data on school progression

Impact Layard's work on Wellbeing research has influenced NHS IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies) policy. The IAPT programme supports the frontline NHS in implementing National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) guidelines for people suffering from depression and anxiety disorders.The programme was created to offer patients a realistic and routine first-line treatment, combined where appropriate with medication which traditionally had been the only treatment available. The programme was first targeted at people of working age but in 2010 was opened to adults of all ages. In 2010 the Department of Health implemented national roll out of Talking Therapies provision with the aim of training more CBT therapists and treating. From 2011, the programme's focus has broadened, following publication of Talking Therapies: a four-year plan of action, one of a suite of documents supporting No health without mental health, the cross-Government mental health strategy for people of all ages. In the four years to April 2015: the nationwide roll-out of psychological therapy services for adults will be completed, a stand-alone programme for children and young people will be initiated, and models of care for people with long-term physical conditions, medically unexplained symptoms and severe mental illness will be developed. Evidence shows this approach can save the NHS up to £272million and the wider public sector will benefit by more than £700 million. By 31 March 2011: 142 of the 151 Primary Care Trusts in England had a service from this programme in at least part of their area and just over 50 per cent of the adult population had access, 3,660 new cognitive behavioural therapy workers had been trained, and over 600,000 people started treatment, over 350,000 completed it, over 120,000 moved to recovery and over 23,000 came off sick pay or benefits (between October 2008 and 31 March 2011).

for this lack of evidence is difficulty in

measuring passive smoking in large

populations. Recently, two economists,

Jerome Adda and Francesca Cornaglia,

have overcome this problem by using

data on cotinine levels in Americans.

Cotinine is a metabolite of nicotine and

a good measure of exposure to tobacco

smoke in both smokers and non-smokers.

By examining cotinine levels before and

after the introduction of smoking bans at

different times and in different states, Adda

and Cornaglia show that, perversely, public

smoking bans raise the exposure of nonsmokers to tobacco smoke. Smoking bans

apparently displace smokers to private

spaces shared with non-smokers, and

young children seem particularly affected.

They also show, in contrast, that cigarette

tax increases are an effective way to

reduce exposure to tobacco smoke.

After a massive £390 billion stimulus plan, China's economy's continued growing at around 8 per cent a year through the global recession. But now a number of experts think China's economy looks very much like a bubble. We speak with Dr Linda Yeuh, who is a fellow in economics at Oxford University and an expert on China.
