CENTRE FOR ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE 2015-2020

Lead Research Organisation: London School of Economics and Political Science
Department Name: Centre for Economic Performance

Abstract

Three core questions bind this proposal together: how to foster growth; how to share growth and how to sustain growth

1 HOW CAN WE FOSTER GROWTH? We plan to develop a new Growth Programme focussing on bolstering innovation in its widest sense, both technological and organisational. It will co-ordinate the Centre's growth work agenda and follow up the LSE Growth Commission's policy proposals. Next, the Trade programme will analyse the impact of globalisation with a targeted focus on how to make a dramatic improvement in British export performance. A core policy question is what the UK's future relationship with other countries will be, in particular with the European Union (EU) and South-East Asia. Third, the Education and Skills programme will examine human capital investment by analysing the recent transformation of the educational system using new tools of competition and organisation theory. Two core questions are: have educational reforms worked - especially for the disadvantaged - and, what can be done to improve the intermediate skills base, a long-standing area of UK weakness.

2 HOW CAN WE SHARE THE BENEFITS OF GROWTH? A problem with growth in the decades prior to the global financial crisis was that prosperity was shared very unequally. To study the spatial dimensions of inequality, we propose a new Urban programme. This will emphasise cities as key economic units and address why so much UK growth is concentrated in the South East.This is a key policy issue in the light of the commitment to decentralise power within England by all main UK parties. Following the City Growth Commission, the policy focus will be how local policy makers can help their cities prosper. Alongside the large productivity fall since the crisis, there has been a big fall in real wages - something unique in post-war UK recessions. Some wage stagnation occurred also in the run-up to the crisis, as it has over a longer time in the US. The Labour programme will examine these changes and whether they are linked to the declining share of GDP going to employees across the world. We will look at earnings, income and wealth inequalities across individuals, but also on why women's progress has stalled. In all these aspects, we are interested not just in explaining why growth is unequally shared, but also how we could design institutions and policies that generate a "double dividend" of more growth and less inequality.

3 WHAT KIND OF GROWTH DO WE WANT? Increasing GDP per capita remains important as UK average incomes track this over the long run. But growth must be sustainable, it must deal with environmental challenges, it should expand not undermine people's happiness and it should not be at the expense of social cohesion. Dealing with climate change requires both containing demand for greenhouse gases and stimulating clean technologies and we propose a wide portfolio of green growth projects directed to this. Of course, it is not just technology that affects people's lives - it is also the beliefs and norms that regulate the interactions between people. Growth involves change that has significant impacts on people's lives and neighbourhoods, often causing great stress. Our Community programme will investigate the impact of economic changes (both direct and indirect through changes like immigration) on social cohesion, and will help to develop policies to ensure that growth benefits all communities. CEP has been at the forefront of looking beyond GDP and our Wellbeing programme will ambitiously develop a model of subjective well-being over the life-course, in order to show the quantitative causal impact of factors like parenting, schooling, employment, income and health. Without such knowledge it is impossible for policy-makers to aim effectively at greater wellbeing, even if that is their objective.

Planned Impact

Academics will benefit across global social science as discussed in the previous section. We publish in the world's top economic (and other social science) journals so we clearly benefit academics, especially as we emphasise pushing out the frontier, rather than publishing small increments to the literature.

Improving our knowledge about what drives growth can have a powerful impact on the wellbeing of all people. The power of basic social scientific breakthroughs is that many benefit, even though the effects are long-run and hard to quantify.

Our key non-academic beneficiaries are national and international policy-makers, civil servants, international financial institutions, businesses, journalists, think tanks, NGOs and, above all, the general public. We have discussed our proposal with many users such as BIS, the DE and UK Treasury (see letters of support from Permanent Secretary of HMT and BIS,Head of the NHS and others at http://cep.lse.ac.uk/esrc/ password ESRC32L2014)

We have involved stakeholders in almost all of the proposals. Examples include government agencies, the Bank of England (G1C), BIS (T1A), DECC (G3A), Department of Education. (E1A), European Commission (G2D), HMT (W1C), ILO(G2C), NHS(W2A), OFCOM(U1C), ONS(G2A), UKTI(T2A), UN(W1A), NESTA (G2C);US Census (P1A), World Bank(U1D); Multinationals Coca-Cola (W2B), Google (G3B) McKinsey (P1A), Towers Watson (L1C), United Health (P1A); Start-Ups Crowdcube (G1D), GrowthIntel (G2D), GroveIS (G3C), TechHub (U2D); Charities ARK (E1B) and How to Thrive (W2A), London Rebuilding Society (G3C) NIESR (G2D), and Society of Motor Manufacturers (T2C). Our partnerships with different stakeholders depends on the question at hand and involves discussions at the genesis of a project, sharing of data, analysis and early findings and finally help with events and subsequent dissemination through a variety of mechanisms.

To increase benefits to UK Treasury (the department who make most use of our research) we will build on the success of the CEP/HMT academic associates scheme where individual CEP researchers give early stage pro bono advice on areas of our expertise. We are proposing a series of training events and Executive Education courses to the UK civil service (led by CEP's Daniel Sturm) which will diffuse techniques and CEP research findings.
Our tools for measuring management practices and suggesting improvements (www.managementsurvey.org) will be useful for businesses trying to improve their profitability. We focus on firms which are smaller than those who are usually the customers of major international consultancy firms.

The general public benefits through our wide dissemination. On average, every year we run 164 events. In 2013 we appeared in the print and broadcast media on average 3 times a day and there were 4.66 million website downloads of papers. Our international profile is rising, with 37% of our web visitors and 37% of our media mentions coming from outside the UK. Most of our top ten papers (downloaded more than 50,000 times each during the year) were non-technical presentations of our work, suggesting that our appeal is broad and not confined to academic users. We will produce a professionally produced research magazine, CentrePiece, thrice yearly and reports on those key policy developments to which our research can contribute rigorous evidence. We will press release key pieces of research work each month.

Description Research at the Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) is able to focus on the big questions facing our economy and society, thanks to the ESRC Centre funding. The Centre is able to respond flexibly, and lead public debate, when these questions change, such as under the financial crisis, Brexit and during the current pandemic. A defining quality of the way CEP operates has been to bring different perspectives to the questions we study so that alternative theories can be tested using different models and data. The Centre has developed new methodologies, analysed large-scale data using robust research designs and collected data where it does not already exist for researchers to utilise. Centre research has made major contributions to what we know about the way in which globalisation, technology and institutions (especially those in education and the labour market) impact upon productivity, inequality and well-being. Many of the findings from this work have directly influenced policy: through researchers' advice to government departments and policy practitioners, and active and extensive dissemination of policy publications (like Centrepiece magazine, election briefings and special themed series of reports and papers).
Exploitation Route CEP aims to be a Centre of national and international excellence in the application of economic theory and rigorous empirical analysis to real world economic issues. The Centre has had a significant impact on government policy in the UK and more widely.

A unique quality, which CEP brings to LSE, is that it represents one of the few research 'infrastructures' in the social sciences: it is close to LSE's equivalent of a laboratory. It is able to create and sustain a critical mass of world leading research allied with an innovative communications team, which ensures that the research influences real world outcomes. It is home not only to expertise in research in specific fields but also has developed the data infrastructure and expertise to securely host, collect, document, match and apply vast survey and administrative datasets from the UK and around the world to an increasing range of research areas.

Description Our research has always placed a strong focus on the big questions facing the economy and wider society. It has been able to respond flexibly when these change, often leading public debate. Our work on the impact of Brexit, for example, is rooted in the years of theoretical analysis previously undertaken in our Trade Programme. The Centre's research also sets agendas rather than merely reacting to policies as they emerge, as the recommendations on growth and infrastructure from the two LSE Growth Commissions of 2013 and 2017 demonstrate. A defining quality of the way the Centre operates has been to focus different perspectives on the questions under study so that alternative theories can be tested using different models and data. The Centre has developed new methodologies and expertise, analysed large-scale data using robust research designs, and it has collected data where it does not already exist for researchers to use, as well as plugging gaps in research areas when new data emerge. Our overriding aim is to change the way social scientists and policymakers think about the world and to produce empirical research of sufficient breadth and rigour to help formulate - and evaluate - new policies. Over the years, CEP has influenced thinking and policies of almost every government department, the Bank of England, statistical agencies in the UK and abroad, and a wide range of other policy organisations and practitioner groups. Indeed some aspects of CEP's work have entered so deeply into popular discourse that they are no longer identified with the Centre. Selected examples include the benign economic effects of the minimum wage; falling social mobility; the centrality of management quality to firm productivity; and the polarisation of jobs with different skill attributes in the labour market.

Description Advice to House of Lords Select Committee on Economic Affairs Report Building More Homes, July 15th 2016 . . Professor Paul Cheshire as part of a proposal for wider reform of the planning system, suggested that both section 106 and the Community Infrastructure Levy should be abolished and replaced by a single, national development charge of 20 per cent of the sale value of the land. Professor Cheshire stressed that building in line with household projections would not provide enough housing: "The problem with our planning system is that it allocates land on the basis of a forecast of household numbers, not on the basis of a forecast of housing demand or space demand. So we have been systematically undersupplying land since the early 1950s."

Impact Mion advised UK Trade and Investment on the implementation of a Randomized Control Trial to gain sharper insights into the causal impact of the provision of trade services on UK firms. The RCT is currently in its pilot phase and will be based around an export voucher. Firms need to apply to get the voucher to be spent on export support services in the private sector. Some firms will be randomly selected to get the voucher and will be subsequently compared to a control group of firms who applied to the voucher but did not get one. For organisations like this to use such experimental methods is rare.

Impact • The demand model is used to direct the inspections to areas of the highest need / demand for policing, and gives context. What sounds trivial has actually a big impact, as it avoids blanket and undirected inspection, and focuses on the most important areas. This makes it more effective, and cheaper to run. • The forces actively use it to integrate their problem solving (crime prevention) efforts, and to integrate it with other public services. The press report on Cambridgeshire Police use of the model is here: http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/new-police-unit-target-crime-12077495 • Chris Greany - the Commander of the City of London - approves of the usefulness of the model in police work and City of London Police intend to use it to develop proper fraud prevention strategies on the back of it. This will be the first time that such work is based on rigorous research data We intend to take this work forward by presenting to the HMIC board on Tuesday, 21st March 2017 to argue that the CEP's demand model be converted into a fully automated monitoring system, giving both the HMIC and Chief Constables an early warning signal about organisational decline.

Impact 'House of Commons debate on the Spring Budget Following the annual budget announcement, LSE was mentioned in the Commons debate by Stewart Hosie MP (SNP): "The OBR's central forecast is in rather stark contrast to what we already know. The Treasury had reported previously that the UK could lose up to £66 billion from a hard Brexit, and that GDP could fall by almost 10% if the UK reverted to WTO rules, which echoes what the Chair of the Treasury Committee said. Other assessments mirror that. The London School of Economics says: "In the long run, reduced trade lowers productivity." That is a huge problem for the UK. It went on to say:"That increases the cost of Brexit to a loss of between 6.5% and 9.5% of GDP."

Impact The Executive Master in Public Policy (EMPP) is a program that has been co-designed and is co-delivered with the Civil Service. The program equips senior civil servants with the cutting-edge analytical tools required to deliver effective policy in an increasingly complex and inter-dependent world. This initiative builds on the 2012 Civil Service Reform Plan to further professionalise UK policy-making. The degree is aimed at the development of people with the talent and drive to reach the very highest levels of the Civil Service Policy Profession, whose careers will see them working on the biggest issues in public policy, and who therefore need to be proficient ambassadors for the best, most modern and most appropriate approaches to policy development. The program has so far taken in a cohort of 28 civil servants in December 2015 and another 28 in December 2016 who are drawn from across the Whitehall departments. The program is run by a steering committee which is chaired by Chris Wormald who is now the Permanent Secretary of the Department of Health. LSE is represented on the steering committee by the two program directors of the Executive Master of Public Policy, Daniel Sturm and Joachim Wehner, and Andrew Brennen, the executive programs development manager. The steering committee meets regularly to discuss the content of the modules and to focus the curriculum on the most pressing public policy challenges faced by the Civil Service.

Impact Work of CEP's Metcalf the Chair of the Migration Advisory Committee and others from CEP has improved the UK policymakers understanding of the impact of immigration on UK labour markets and public services and has been involved in virtually every significant labour market migration policy decision between 2008-16. Much of the work of the Committee drew on background research carried out by the Centre for Economic Performance. Amongst its impact has been the introduction of greater selectivity in Non EU migration 2007-16 by highlighting the key role played by skilled migrants in raising productivity, enhancing employment and fiscal contribution; and the setting of minimum pay thresholds to prevent employers from undertaking insufficient investment in British human capital. Its analysis of work-related migration since 2008 suggests three main conclusions: migration flows are heavily influenced by other polices; skilled migrants yield positive benefits; and enforcement of minimum standards is vital to ensure our flexible labour market boosts the welfare of British residents.

Impact 21st March 2017 The demand model constructed by Tom Kirchmaier for Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) has been formally presented at the HMIC board and has been very positively received. It was mentioned in the 2015 and 2016 State of Policing report that was laid before Parliament by Sir Tom Winsor. The 2016 report can be found here, with the reference to his work on p. 17 . All empirical reference in the PEEL inspection process are based on this work, with an example being found here. Kirchmaier has subsequently been appointed to the Academic Reference Group of HMIC. The demand model has been used to help direct the inspections to areas of the highest need / demand for policing, avoiding blanket and undirected inspection, and focusing on the most important areas. Such a model makes the inspection system more effective, and cheaper to run. Police forces are now using the model to integrate their problem solving (crime prevention) efforts, and to integrate it with other public services. It was also being used by the Home Office to inform the new Police funding formula (which has subsequently been delayed for political reason). Chris Greany - the Commander of the City of London -tweeted positive commendation of the model to colleagues. City of London is now using the model and data to develop fraud prevention strategies. fGoing forward, the plan is to work on a fully automated monitoring system, giving both the HMIC and Chief Constables an early warning signal about organisational decline. Kirchmaier is also actively working with Police forces nationally and internationally to increase the uptake and incorporation of empirical insights into processes. Internationally, he is working with IADB and the police service of Buenos Aires to understand and improve the emergency call centre (911 calls), and with former HMI Steven Otter QPM on some questions relating to security in Asia, and here in particular Myanmar.

Impact House of Commons Library - Briefing Paper Number 06492, 27 April 2017 p.25 (Valero and Van Reenen work on Productivity Plan)Anna Valero and Professor John Van Reenen of the London School of Economics believe the plan is broadly right but question whether it is radical or coherent enough to make a difference: The Plan identifies the chronic problems which need to be addressed to get our productivity back on track, and sets out the government's solutions. Overall, the analysis and priorities seem broadly right and there are a number of positive steps. For example, the emphasis on planning reforms (especially on housing), road infrastructure and vocational skills. However, much of the Plan simply places existing policies into eight drivers of productivity growth. Given the fact that UK output per hour is around 30 per cent lower than the US, France and Germany, is it really radical and coherent enough to yield the kind of growth we need to catch up with our peers? [] Although there are many individually sensible policies, it is difficult to discern a clear growth strategy emerging from the Plan. Without such a vision, it is likely that shorter term considerations will come to dominate, especially as the parliamentary term wears on.57

Results and Impact "City of dreams no more: the impact of Covid-19 on urban workers in India" Bhalotia, Dhingra and Kondirolli conducted a field survey of 8500 workers aged 18 to 40 in India seeking to understand the experience of urban workers during Covid-19. They found that 15.5 percent of workers lost their jobs and 21.7 percent worked zero hours during the period of the survey (May-July 2020). 52 percent of urban workers went without work or pay and received no financial assistance. The pandemic worsened labour income inequality as the earnings of workers in the bottom three quartiles fell and the financial assistance from the government was inadequate.
This survey was one of the first o be administered in India during and immediately after the Covid-19 lockdown and it provided initial evidence of the large impact that Covid-19 was having on the urban workers. Moreover, they asked the respondents about job guarantees, a policy that was being debated and implemented in some states in India to assist economic recovery. Despite the policy relevance, there is a lack of academic research on the valuation of this option by urban workers. We filled this gap by providing evidence that urban workers in India would like to have a guarantee of 100 days of work.
The research attracted a lot of interest from the policy-makers and the general public in India; and was the basis for our contribution to the debate on urban job guarantees for the IGC India forum. In September 2020, the Indian government announced plans to extend the rural jobs guarantee scheme to cities, to address urban unemployment.

Results and Impact As the Covid-19 pandemic took hold, the CEP set up a Covid-19 hub bringing together existing research, blogs and interviews covering issues such as the need for furlough schemes, using predicted grades for A-level students, and growing inequality. In keeping with the CEP's aim to publish timely, in-depth, impartial economic evidence to inform debate, the Covid-19 analysis series was launched. Each CEP Covid-19 briefing brings together analysis of existing research or original research with recommendations for policy makers. We commissioned new surveys among the self-employed; UK business on innovation uptake; urban workers in India and UK 16-25 year olds of "Generation Covid".

• The new Covid-19 analysis series has had more than 106,000 hits: accounting for 28% of the downloads from the 150 publications between Jan 2020 and March 2021.

Results and Impact Article by Jan-Emmanuel De Neve and Nick Powdthavee Despite growing concern over the economic and social implications of the increasing concentration of wealth among a wealthy elite, we continue to know very little about how the growing gap in wealth and income of the top 1% influences the wellbeing of the other 99%. Together with Richard Burkhauser at Cornell University, we decided to find out. We wanted to estimate how the rising income of the 1% relates to average life satisfaction, even where household income and a country's GDP remain constant. We started our research by asking if income inequality at the very top really matters to the life satisfaction of the average person in a country - the results show that there is a correlation between the two.

What can we do to improve Britain's low social mobility - one of the most pressing issues facing young people growing up today? Boris Johnson continues a tradition that has stood for generations. Every Prime Minister since the end of World War Two who has attended an English University has attended just one institution: Oxford. Meanwhile 100,000s of children leave school each year without the basics to get on in life. Britain suffers from low social mobility. But how can we improve it? Our panel will discuss potential solutions, and you the audience will vote on the solution.
This event is part of the ESRC's Festival of Social Science.

Description Domestic Abuse during COVID-19 Lockdown Ivandic and Kirchmaier - engaging with policy makers 
Form Of Engagement Activity A talk or presentation

Geographic Reach National
Primary Audience Policymakers/politicians
Results and Impact Domestic Abuse during COVID-19 Lockdown Ivandic and Kirchmaier examined the changing patterns of domestic abuse. They found that the lockdown changed the type of victimisation, as abuse by current partner and family members increased while ex-partner abuse decreased. They also asked whether due to the constant proximity of the victim and perpetrator, a share of the abuse is not being reported by victims. And found an increase in DA reporting by third party callers, particularly in high-density areas where neighbours can overhear the abuse, yet no changes in victim reporting. This suggested that a significant part of DA that cannot be overheard remains under-reported. The research provided empirical evidence for law enforcement agencies to direct interventions to at-risk households and emphasized community reporting.
Engaging with policymakers: Combining these findings with prior research on machine learning tools to enhance risk assessment by police forces, CEP researchers briefed parliamentarians on many occasions and fed recommendations directly into the Domestic Abuse Bill https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-laws-to-protect-victims-added-to-domestic-abuse-bill Peers including Lord Hunt, Baroness Grey-Thompson, the Earl of Lytton, Lord Paddick and Lord Brooke praised the research and paid tribute to LSE/CEP.

Results and Impact Presentation of paper entitled Trade and Worker Deskilling. This paper presents new evidence on international trade and worker outcomes, by examining a big world event that produced an unprecedentedly large shock to the UK exchange rate. In the 24 hours in June 2016 during which the UK electorate unexpectedly voted to leave the European Union, the value of sterling plummeted. It recorded the biggest depreciation that has occurred in any of the world's four major currencies since the collapse of Bretton Woods. Exploiting the variation, the paper studies the impact of trade on wages and future earnings potential measured by job related education and training. Wages and training fell for workers employed in sectors where the intermediate import price rose by more as a result of the massive sterling depreciation. Calibrating the estimated wage elasticity with respect to intermediate import prices to theory uncovers evidence of complementarity between workers and intermediate imports. This provides new direct evidence that, in the modern world of global value chains, changes in the cost of intermediate imports act as a important driver of the impact of globalisation on worker welfare. The episode studied also adds to widely expressed, growing concerns about patterns of real wage stagnation in contemporary labour markets.

This lecture is part of the LSE Programme on Brexit. Swati Dhingra is Lecturer in Economics, Department of Economics.

Results and Impact Productivity plays a central role in shaping the welfare of societies and the competitiveness of countries. Productivity differences, for instance, explain a large share of the differences in income per capita across countries. This paper investigates the role of productivity heterogeneity across 18 countries over the period 2001-2012. In particular, it analyses the evidence that emerges from the distributed micro-data approach carried out in the OECD MultiProd project. The main outcome of the project is a unique dataset of harmonised crosscountry moments that are representative for the population of firms and comparable across countries even at a detailed industry level. We look at the 90-10 percentile ratio of LP and MFP and show that: i) productivity dispersion is high in both manufacturing and nonfinancial market services; ii) it has increased over time, especially in services; iii) a substantial part of this dispersion comes from differences among firms within the same sector of activity in each country; iv) this within sector dispersion remains the most important component of the overall dispersion for the entire period.

Results and Impact Generation COVID and Social Mobility: Evidence and Policy Machin, Elliot-Major and Eyles are looking at the impact that Covid-19 has had on educational and labour market inequality. Using longitudinal data, and primary survey data they have tracked educational and labour market inequalities that have emerged since the closure of schools in March and the national lockdown in April 2020.
Their main findings are that the young - those aged under 25 - have suffered job loss at a much greater rate than older cohorts. They also highlight that the unemployment rate paints an overly optimistic picture of the aggregate labour market. Many individuals have lost earnings, and suffered spells of not-working, despite being employed. Alongside the labour market, they have used available data to measure the extent of learning losses during the first bout of school closures in March and in the first term of the 2020/21 school year. They find significant losses to learning hours due to school closures. For some pupils, particular those at private schools and, to a lesser extent, affluent state school pupils, they find that the lack of face-to-face instruction has been largely offset by online learning. They also show that, despite schools re-opening in September 2020, schools are still not operating at capacity leading to learning losses extended into the current school year.
Their findings add to a growing literature that documents how labour markets and the educational sector have been impacted by Covid. They add to this literature by focusing on the young and highlighting the social mobility implications of labour market and learning losses. By bringing together estimates from the literature on unemployment scarring, returns to education, the impact of schooling hours on final educational attainment, and combining these with a simple theoretical model, they argue that relative social mobility - measured by the relationship between parent and child income - is likely to decrease going forwards.
To make their work as relevant as possible to the ongoing policy debate surrounding the appropriate response to the pandemic, they have conducted an information experiment that elicits opinions on the extent of social mobility and how these opinions are affected by information about the labour market and educational inequality. They also surveyed individuals about their support for policies that may be used to prevent long term labour market and education scarring.
They will now extend this work by expanding the analysis to develop a fuller, more detailed picture of nationwide social mobility and inequality under the crisis, looking at issues of pressing national concern for the general public, policymakers and practitioners: including, job losses for working age adults and learning losses in full-time education and school.

Description Guy Michaels took part in a project called "The impact of artificial intelligence on work", organised by the Royal Society and the British Academy. The evidence suggested that there are likely to be significant transitional effects as AI technologies begin to play a bigger role in the workplace, which cause disruption for some people or places. One of the greatest challenges raised by AI is therefore a potential widening of inequality.

Results and Impact Active Citizenship Project report was submitted to the European Commission and policy partners in England (British Council and Department for Education) in May 2020.
The programme aimed to foster teaching practices that promoted openness, inclusion and engagement to develop students' "active citizenship" knowledge and skills. Training and evaluations were conducted in treatment schools in England, France, Greece and Spain.
Researchers found that teaching practice tended to become more student-centred, a central theme of the training scheme. By contrast, they found little evidence of change in students' average outcomes, except in France. The main, and most consistent dimension of impact heterogeneity, related to students who had ever been a student representative in the past (around 30% of students, the most civic-minded in each school): they did benefit from the programme along the dimensions of civic attitudes and democratic participation, whereas negligible effects were found on non-representative students.

Results and Impact At this important point in Britain's foreign policy history, this Commission has been set up to help shape Britain's foreign economic policy decisions. The UK government's professed intent to leave the European Union means that Britain would be setting its own trade policies for the first time since 1973, and would need to explicitly set out the aims of trade and associated foreign investment policies for the first time in four decades. The changed world economy of the 21st century also necessitates an examination of foreign economic policy aims and principles. There is a considerable need and opportunity to thoroughly assess the UK's economic diplomacy goals.
The LSE Economic Diplomacy Commission aims to interrogate the questions surrounding the policy choices made by the UK government. It will specifically focus on foreign economic policy and how such policies will affect both UK society and economy.

Results and Impact As part of a What Works Centre for Wellbeing/John Templeton Foundation project, the results were released in January of the evaluation of "Exploring What Matters", an 8-session course for adults run by Action for Happiness. In a randomised wait-list trial this was found (two months after the course ended) to have raised participants life-satisfaction by more than happens when an individual finds a partner or a job (C. Krekel, J.E. De Neve et al, 2020). We held a public launch event of the results at the LSE on 21st Jan 2020 attracting an audience of 65 - including members of the press, researchers, happiness and wellbeing practitioners, and members of the general public. The impact of this research has been far reaching, with an article in The Guardian, an interview with Richard Layard on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme and most significantly, a 3 minute segment on the BBC's News at Six.

Results and Impact Despite increasing financial pressures on higher education systems throughout the world, many governments remain resolutely opposed to the introduction of tuition fees, and some countries and states where tuition fees have been long established are now reconsidering free higher education. This paper examines the consequences of charging tuition fees on university quality, enrolments, and equity. To do so, we study the English higher education system which has, in just two decades, moved from a free college system to one in which tuition fees are among the highest in the world. Our findings suggest that England's shift has resulted in increased funding per head, rising enrolments, and a narrowing of the participation gap between advantaged and disadvantaged students. In contrast to other systems with high tuition fees, the English system is distinct in that its income-contingent loan system keeps university free at the point of entry, and provides students with comparatively generous assistance for living expenses. We conclude that tuition fees, at least in the English case supported their goals of increasing quality, quantity, and equity in higher education.

"Women at work: Trends, current perspectives and policy responses"
18 January 2017,
chair: Pablo Gracia (SPS)
Presenter: Andrea Ichino (ECO EUI Professor)

Women's increased involvement in the economy has been the most significant change in labour markets over the past century, resulting in clear gender convergence in human capital investment, employment prospects and outcomes.

However, there are remaining gender gaps in pay and employment levels, as well as in the types of activities that men and women perform in the labour market.

I discuss historical forces that eased female labour market entry, as well as current perspectives on the factors that hinder further convergence, including: (i) gender differences in preferences and psychological attributes, (ii) social norms and gender identity, and (iii) work-life balance considerations.

I conclude with a discussion of policy responses and recent evaluations of family policies.

About the lecturer

Barbara Petrongolo is Professor of Economics at Queen Mary University, Director of the CEPR Labour Economics Programme and Research Associate at the Centre for Economic Performance of the London School of Economics.

She has previously held positions at the London School of Economics, the Paris School of Economics and the University of Carlos III (Madrid).

Her main area of interest is applied labour economics. She has worked extensively on the performance of labour markets with job search frictions, with applications to unemployment dynamics, welfare policy and interdependencies across local labour markets.

She has also carried out research on the causes and characteristics of gender inequalities in labour market outcomes, in a historical perspective and across countries, with an emphasis on the role of employment selection mechanisms, structural transformation, and interactions within the household.

Results and Impact Administrative data was used to track the decisions made by people in England who left compulsory education after taking their GCSE exams in 2009/10. The study found that A-levels and vocational equivalents at Level 3 are equally strong predictors of staying on in education up to the age of 18 and achieving a Level 3 qualification before the age of 20. The findings are more troubling in relation to lower levels of learning. For those primarily pursuing a Level 2 qualification at age 17, there is no clear trajectory to higher subsequent levels of learning. Reform is necessary for social mobility.

Jeffrey D. Sachs (@JeffDSachs) is Professor of Economics at Columbia University, a leader in sustainable development, senior UN advisor, bestselling author and syndicated columnist.

Results and Impact The right way to leave the EU Article by Swati Dhingra On June 30, a week after the British public voted to leave the EU, Theresa May gave a speech launching her candidacy for prime minister in which she declared, ''Brexit means Brexit''. Her message was straightforward: even though she herself had supported remaining in the EU, she would not hesitate to implement the will of the voters. Yet months after assuming office, May has yet to answer crucial questions about what a British exit, or Brexit, would mean for trade, immigration, and financial services. It is still not at all obvious what Brexit will actually look like. That's because the referendum has confronted the government with two distinct but related problems: how to leave the EU as painlessly as possible and how to reverse the years of economic neglect that have divided the country. Solving each will require hard choices, and whatever the politicians decide, some of their supporters will feel let down. With this in mind, they should prioritize prosperity over politics and defy radicals on both sides of the debate. This article was published online in the November/December 2016 Foreign Affairs Magazine on October 21, 2016

Giulia Giupponi presented her work on labour market stabilization tools at the International Monetary Fund and HELP! (HEaLth and Pandemics) Econ Working Group (25-Jun-20); and Banco de Mexico (29-Jun-20). The work on short time work schemes (joint with Camille Landais) has become especially relevant during the pandemic, given that most European countries have used short time work schemes as their primary policy tool to stabilize the labour market and provide insurance to workers and firms. They presented the work to OECD, IMF, Banco de Mexico - and sat on OECD expert committees.

Results and Impact 10 Years On - Britain's Social Mobility Problem
Thursday 10 December 2015

In 2005 the Sutton Trust published a seminal study by the Centre for Economic Performance at the London School of Economics that catapulted the issue of low social mobility into national political and public debate. It concluded that social mobility in Britain alongside the United States was lower than for any other developed country, and that social mobility had declined for the generation born in 1970 compared that born in 1958. It has been called the most influential study on public policy in the last 20 years and the reverberations from its striking findings can still be seen widely today.

A decade on from its publication this seminar will hear from two of the central figures behind the study: Stephen Machin, Professor of Economics and Research Director of CEP, and Sir Peter Lampl, Chairman of the Sutton Trust and of the Education Endowment Foundation. They will reflect on its main findings and discuss some of the reasons why social mobility is so low in Britain. They will critically review what has been done by Government and others to address the problem and assess the social mobility prospects for future generations.

They will be joined in a panel discussion by Jo Blanden, Senior Lecturer in Economics, University of Surrey and co-author of the LSE study, and Dr Lee Elliot Major, Chief Executive of the Sutton Trust.

Results and Impact Article by Christian Hilber In the first of a two-part article discussing the British planning system, Christian Hilber, Associate Professor of Economic Geography at the London School of Economics, argues that the UK planning system has serious flaws and delivers benefits only at excessively high costs, mainly hurting the young. There is no denial: the UK faces a serious housing affordability crisis. This crisis is not a short-term phenomenon, nor the result of a financial bubble. The crisis has been brewing for several decades. Over the last 45 years, house price growth in the UK has been faster in real terms than in any other OECD country and has far outstripped earnings growth. Normally when demand is rising, construction booms as well and that eases price growth. This has not happened in the UK; construction of new housing has been decreasing more or less steadily since the late 1960s from 353k units in 1968 to 118k units in 2014, leading to a very substantial and ever-growing housing shortfall. Not only that; newly built homes are also about 40 percent smaller than in similarly densely populated European countries. In the Greater London Area (GLA) the problem is particularly acute. To illustrate this, the average house price in the GLA has gone up by £65.2k year-on-year since March 2015. The latest average household income estimate for the capital for 2013 is £51.8k. Put differently, last year, the average London homeowner earned more from capital gains than a renter from working all year long. It is, therefore, no surprise that young adults without wealthy parents are increasingly priced out from getting onto the owner-occupied housing ladder. Renting in the private sector is similarly unaffordable, so the young - even the highly skilled - increasingly have no other option but to stay at their parents' home longer or leave the city. Consistent with this, the share of those employed in inner London working in professional scientific, research, engineering and technology jobs has fallen since 2011, hurting the capital's productivity. The housing affordability crisis is an economic as well as a social problem. This article was published by Planning and Building Control Today on July 6, 2016

Results and Impact Article by John Van Reenen Many people are considering the personal financial impact of EU membership, and LSE academics have crunched the vital numbers By referendum day on 23 June, all voters will have to weigh up whether to leave the European Union. One factor that matters is the economic impact - whether people are likely to be richer or poorer after a Brexit. An obvious benefit of Brexit is that the UK will not have to send so much money to Brussels. The net amount of this is around 0.31% of our national income. An equally obvious cost of Brexit is that there will be less trade between the UK and EU if the UK leaves than if it stays. This article was published by Public Finance on April 18, 2016

Results and Impact When to release the lockdown: A wellbeing framework for analysing costs and benefits In April 2020, Clark, De Neve, Fancourt, Hey, Krekel, Layard and O'Donnell released the report on the wider impact on wellbeing. Their research was based on analysing the impact of many factors including incomes, unemployment, mental health, air quality and death rates with a view to understanding when the costs of continuing the lockdown exceeded the benefits. These factors were brought together using a common currency of their impact on individuals' wellbeing: Wellbeing-Years (WELLBYs). Subsequently published in the BMJ.

Meetings with policymakers: Richard Layard presented work on "Quantifying the wellbeing impact of Covid-19" to the Social Impacts Task Force (Cabinet Office) (08-Jul-20)
Layard and O'Donnell have been promoting the idea of a "social infrastructure" to form the central crux of post-COVID life and policy-making. They have had talks with Matt Hancock, Jeremy Hunt, HM Treasury and the Cabinet Office on these issues. Layard also continues to push for the expansion of mental health services within the NHS. David Clark and Richard Layard met with Secretary of State Nadine Dorries on expanding access to IAPT and Child Mental Health Services (10-Feb-21); and Matt Hancock about the Mental Health Support Teams rollout in schools, and about increasing funding for all mental health services within the NHS. These discussions are ongoing

Results and Impact Work, Care and Gender during the COVID-19 Crisis Petrongolo and Hupkau explored the effects of the COVID-19 crisis and the associated restrictions to economic activity on paid and unpaid work for men and women in the United Kingdom. Using data from the COVID-19 supplement of Understanding Society, they found evidence that labour market outcomes of men and women were roughly equally affected at the extensive margin, as measured by the incidence of job loss or furloughing. But, if anything, women suffered smaller losses at the intensive margin, experiencing slightly smaller changes in hours and earnings. Within the household, women provided on average a larger share of increased childcare needs, but in an important share of households fathers became the primary childcare providers. These distributional consequences of the pandemic may be important to understand its inequality legacy over the longer term.
Barbara Petrongolo presented as part of the British Academy Shape the Future series (29 September 2020); and to the Social Market Foundation "Ask the Expert - The COVID-19 Gender Gap." (5-Nov-2020).
Press coverage: Daily Telegraph, Independent (two articles), Times, Personnel Today.
