项目摘要

This project explores the link between productivity and two important government priorities: phasing out greenhouse gas emissions (net zero) and improving economic prospects at the regional level (levelling up). Bringing these objectives together emphasises that the UK's productivity challenge is as much about the quality of economic growth as it is about the amount of growth.The project takes a strongly empirical approach. Using granular datasets and case study evidence, we seek to identify the productivity risks and opportunities that arise from net zero at the national, regional and sectoral level. These insights are then used to formulate pertinent policy interventions for clean, equitable productivity growth. To do this, we explore the main drivers of clean and equitable productivity growth:- Innovation: Both productivity growth and the net zero transition depend on innovation. We examine how changes in country-level emissions and/or emission intensities are related to clean innovation for different technology categories.- Jobs and skills: The coming decades will see far-reaching shifts in the demand for skills. We shed light on the quantity and quality of the new jobs that are being created and those that are at risk, and the extent of job re-allocation that may occur as part of the net zero transition.- Finance: Net zero requires an overhaul of the nation's capital stock, creating an opportunity to rebalance regional patterns of growth. We explore to what extent credit constraints pose a potential barrier to regional decarbonisation and productivity growth. The project adopts a broad, multi-disciplinary perspective, nested in the social sciences. It features statistical analysis, qualitative social science methods and mathematical modelling as well as insights from innovation, finance, education, labour market and climate change policy. The team is located in business schools, economics departments, geography departments, environmental research centres and innovation think tanks. The emphasis is on impact-oriented research, which combines state-of-the-art analysis with continuous engagement with decision makers throughout the project. In doing so, the project can leverage the close links of all project partners within both national and local government. The project brings together an experienced team of researchers with different disciplinary skills and backgrounds. The core team is supported by a wider group of often very senior researchers, whose insights are leveraged into the project as in kind contributions. They will be joined by a team of early career researchers, who will work across topics and partner organisations. We believe that this makes the project exceptional value for money. To make the structure work, we have established a tight, but lean project management structure with a strong PI and clear responsibilities for module leads and Co-PIs. Importantly, part of the team has a long history of working together over many projects, which ensures cohesion and reduces delivery risks. At this project establishes a number of new connections between researchers and research institutions that have previously not collaborated. We expect that this is an opportunity to trigger new insights and mutual exchange of ideas that will be fruitful beyond the lifetime of this project. For some members of the research team it is also the first time to contribute their considerable expertise in other fields to the issue of climate change and the Net Zero transition. Given the pervasiveness of the climate change issue this is a very welcome aspect.

本项目探讨了生产率与两项重要的政府优先事项之间的联系：逐步淘汰温室气体排放（净零排放）和改善区域经济前景（提升水平）。把这些目标放在一起，突显出英国的生产率挑战既关乎经济增长的数量，也关乎经济增长的质量。该项目采用强烈的实证方法。利用细粒度数据集和案例研究证据，我们试图在国家、区域和部门层面确定净零生产率带来的生产力风险和机遇。然后利用这些见解制定相关的政策干预措施，以实现清洁、公平的生产率增长。为此，我们探讨了清洁和公平的生产率增长的主要驱动因素：创新：生产率增长和净零排放转型都依赖于创新。我们研究了国家级排放和/或排放强度的变化与不同技术类别的清洁创新之间的关系。-工作和技能：未来几十年，对技能的需求将发生深远的变化。我们阐明了正在创造和面临风险的新工作的数量和质量，以及作为净零转型的一部分可能发生的工作重新分配的程度。-金融：净零需要对国家的资本存量进行全面改革，创造一个重新平衡区域增长模式的机会。我们将探讨信贷约束在多大程度上对区域脱碳和生产率增长构成潜在障碍。该项目采用了广泛的、多学科的视角，嵌套在社会科学中。它的特点是统计分析、定性社会科学方法和数学建模，以及来自创新、金融、教育、劳动力市场和气候变化政策的见解。该团队分布在商学院、经济系、地理系、环境研究中心和创新智库。重点是以影响为导向的研究，它将最先进的分析与整个项目中决策者的持续参与相结合。在这样做的过程中，该项目可以利用国家和地方政府内所有项目合作伙伴的密切联系。该项目汇集了一个具有不同学科技能和背景的经验丰富的研究团队。核心团队由一个更广泛的团队提供支持，这些团队通常是非常资深的研究人员，他们的见解作为善意的贡献被利用到项目中。他们将加入一个由早期职业研究人员组成的团队，他们将跨主题和合作组织工作。我们相信，这使得该项目非常物有所值。为了使结构有效，我们建立了一个紧密而精益的项目管理结构，具有强大的PI和明确的模块主管和co -PI职责。重要的是，团队的一部分具有在许多项目中一起工作的悠久历史，这确保了凝聚力并降低了交付风险。在这个项目中，研究人员和研究机构之间建立了一些以前没有合作的新联系。我们希望这是一个激发新见解和相互交流思想的机会，这将在项目的生命周期之外取得丰硕成果。对于研究小组的一些成员来说，这也是他们第一次在其他领域为气候变化和“净零排放”过渡问题贡献他们的大量专业知识。鉴于气候变化问题的普遍性，这是一个非常受欢迎的方面。
