This studentship offers an outstanding opportunity to undertake a 4-year funded integrated PhD and MSc in Data Analytics and Society based at the Department of Economics of the University of Sheffield, working in collaboration with the Sheffield Methods Institute and the UK Government Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). Directly addressing BEIS policy priorities, the project will explore the role of R&D in promoting innovation and productivity growth across sectors, firms and regions. Applying machine learning to big data from web-scraping of companies' websites, the project will investigate emerging UK sectors, such as life science, renewable energy, creative and digital sectors, which are not accurately identified via traditional industrial classification. The project will also analyse the role of public R&D funding in promoting regional diversification and the importance of ring-fenced regional R&D funding and innovation hubs to promote the levelling up, applying spatial econometric techniques to data on the location of research hubs, innovators and allocated funding.

该奖学金提供了一个绝佳的机会，可以在谢菲尔德大学经济系与谢菲尔德方法研究所和英国政府商业、能源和工业战略部（BEIS）合作，进行为期4年的数据分析与社会综合博士和硕士学位。该项目将直接解决BEIS的政策重点，探讨研发在促进跨部门、企业和地区的创新和生产力增长方面的作用。该项目将机器学习应用于从公司网站抓取的大数据，将调查英国新兴行业，如生命科学、可再生能源、创意和数字行业，这些行业无法通过传统的行业分类准确识别。该项目还将分析公共研发资金在促进区域多样化方面的作用，以及环形区域研发资金和创新中心对促进水平提升的重要性，并将空间计量经济学技术应用于研究中心、创新者和分配资金的位置数据。
