Business Creation in the UK

我们将使用公司注册处的管理数据构建和分析英国公司创建的人口范围的数据集。我们将利用这些数据来了解COVID-19对英国地理区域和经济部门的经济影响。我们项目的一个重要优势是，它提供了基于英国经济的整个公司注册的经济状况的实时快照。这种覆盖避免了现有基于调查的方法中隐含的代表性不足或偏见。我们的数据可以在地区或行业层面进行分解，我们可以以每天、每周或每月的频率检查对商业创造的影响。这种覆盖范围和粒度是我们的主要附加值。

We will construct and analyse a population-wide dataset of firm creation in the UK using Companies House administrative data. We will use this data to understand the economic implications of COVID-19 on geographic regions and economic sectors of the UK. An important advantage of our project is that it provides a real-time snapshot of the state of the economy based on the entire company register for the UK economy. This coverage avoids underrepresentation or bias implicit in existing survey-based approaches. Our data can be broken down at the regional or industrial level and we can inspect the effects on business creation at a daily, weekly or monthly frequency. This coverage and granularity is our main value-added.
