Productivity and Spatial Economic Disparities in the UK

项目描述：该项目将研究英国生产率和空间经济差异之间的关系，调查工人的分类是否变得更加集中，使用最新的微观人口普查数据来衡量工作地点随时间的变化，工人的居住决定，以及这种空间排序如何有助于地区生产率的差异。该项目还将研究集聚外部性和基于地点的净零过渡政策的作用。该项目提供了一个独特的机会，可以与一个跨学科的监督团队和一个主要的政府部门合作，为政府关键举措的决策提供信息。

Project description:The project will study the relationship between productivity and spatial economic disparities in the UK, investigating whether the sorting of workers is becoming more concentrated, using newly micro-level census data to measure changes over time in the location of work, the residential decisions of workers, and how this spatial sorting contributes to regional differences in productivity. The project will also research the role of agglomeration externalities and place-based Net Zero transitions policies. The project offers a unique opportunity to work with an interdisciplinary supervision team and a major government department to inform policy making around key government initiatives.
