项目摘要

The Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) studies the determinants of economic performance at the level of the individual, the firm, the community, the city and region, the nation and the global economy. In a technologically turbulent world where the longstanding trend of global integration may be reversing, CEP's research will confront two major economic and social questions: how to improve economic performance and how to share the gains from greater prosperity more effectively. These issues affect us all - at home, at work, in our schools and public services, and in our local communities - as well as being crucial for businesses and governments, locally, nationally and internationally.How can economic performance be improved without worsening inequality? It is vital to study the key drivers of both, including technology, skills, institutions, globalisation and policy. To do this we have put together an ambitious research agenda of inter-related projects across six work programmes (growth, trade, education, labour, urban and community wellbeing). We want our research on these critical questions to be world class, published in the best academic journals and to have wide-ranging impact. We view part of our leadership role as an Institute to be setting the framework for thought and for our work to define what further research is needed to respond to social and economic shocks. The new Institute work programme will help to address the big issues facing the UK, including austerity, the legacy of the financial crisis and Brexit. It will tackle key economic and social issues by providing robust evidence and policy advice on questions such as: the impact of artificial intelligence and robotics on workers and firms; trade policy design in a post-Brexit UK; the impact of policing on crime; and the consequences of the rising market power of global firms for competition, innovation and inequality. Many of the research challenges to be tackled - such as poor economic performance, high and rising inequality, poor basic skills and low social mobility - were issues long before the financial crisis, the new US protectionism and the vote to leave the EU. We plan to further our understanding of the basic economic forces at work, using new methods and data and drawing on the latest social science developments. We need to provide robust evidence on how the economy functions in order to understand dysfunction, and how to craft policies to rectify these problems. Making an impact is core to our mission. We want to inform public debate in a 'post-truth' world that is increasingly vulnerable to fake news. Effective communication is an integral part of our impact strategy. CEP will continue to use a range of tailored communication and outreach activities. But we recognise that achieving impact requires more than just effective dissemination. We will therefore prioritise activities with more senior leadership aimed at increasing the visibility and impact of our research and events, deepening our policy and media networks, and extending our collaborations and partnerships. As an ESRC Institute, we plan to continue our record of building capacity for the social sciences and offer broad leadership to researchers and non-academics in the study of economic performance and policy in the UK and internationally. Themed workshop series open to early career researchers and others open to the entire academic community working in cognate areas, will be organised jointly with specific partners such as IFS and CAGE with key sessions recorded and made available online. We will also run events with a diversity of users, practitioners and places.CEP has shown it can deliver world-class research and impact. Core funding from ESRC has played a crucial role in attracting matched co-funding from elsewhere. The new ESRC Institute status provides a great opportunity to build on this record.

经济表现中心（CEP）研究个人、企业、社区、城市和地区、国家和全球经济水平上经济表现的决定因素。在一个技术动荡的世界里，全球一体化的长期趋势可能正在逆转，CEP的研究将面临两个主要的经济和社会问题：如何提高经济绩效，以及如何更有效地分享更大繁荣的收益。这些问题影响着我们所有人——在家里，在工作中，在我们的学校和公共服务中，在我们的当地社区中——同时也对地方、国家和国际的企业和政府至关重要。如何在不加剧不平等的情况下改善经济表现？研究这两者的关键驱动因素至关重要，包括技术、技能、制度、全球化和政策。为此，我们制定了一个雄心勃勃的研究议程，包括六个工作计划（增长、贸易、教育、劳动力、城市和社区福利）中相互关联的项目。我们希望我们在这些关键问题上的研究是世界级的，发表在最好的学术期刊上，并产生广泛的影响。我们认为，作为一个研究所，我们的部分领导作用是为我们的思想和工作设定框架，以确定需要进一步进行哪些研究来应对社会和经济冲击。研究所的新工作计划将有助于解决英国面临的重大问题，包括财政紧缩、金融危机的遗留问题和英国退欧。它将通过就以下问题提供有力的证据和政策建议，解决关键的经济和社会问题：人工智能和机器人对工人和企业的影响；脱欧后英国的贸易政策设计；警务对犯罪的影响；以及全球企业日益增强的市场力量对竞争、创新和不平等的影响。许多需要解决的研究挑战——比如糟糕的经济表现、严重且不断加剧的不平等、糟糕的基本技能和低社会流动性——早在金融危机、新的美国保护主义和脱欧公投之前就存在了。我们计划利用新的方法和数据，并借鉴最新的社会科学发展，进一步了解起作用的基本经济力量。我们需要提供有关经济如何运行的有力证据，以便了解功能失调，以及如何制定政策来纠正这些问题。产生影响是我们使命的核心。我们希望在一个越来越容易受到假新闻影响的“后真相”世界中为公众辩论提供信息。有效的沟通是我们影响力战略的一个组成部分。CEP将继续使用一系列量身定制的沟通和外展活动。但我们认识到，实现影响需要的不仅仅是有效的传播。因此，我们将优先考虑与更高级的领导一起开展活动，旨在提高我们的研究和活动的知名度和影响力，深化我们的政策和媒体网络，并扩大我们的合作和伙伴关系。作为一个ESRC研究所，我们计划继续我们在社会科学能力建设方面的记录，并在研究英国和国际经济表现和政策方面为研究人员和非学者提供广泛的领导。将与IFS和CAGE等特定合作伙伴共同组织面向早期职业研究人员和在相关领域工作的整个学术界开放的主题研讨会系列，并录制关键会议并在线提供。我们还将举办不同用户、从业者和地点的活动。CEP已经证明它可以提供世界级的研究和影响。来自ESRC的核心资金在吸引其他地方的匹配共同资金方面发挥了关键作用。新的ESRC研究所地位为建立这一记录提供了一个很好的机会。
