Growth
The Growth programme studies the determinants of productivity and innovation. Our research looks at new technologies, management practices, investment, R&D, skills, business dynamism, competition and regulation of labour and product markets. There is a strong focus on linking empirical findings to practical policy and economic theory.
Detailed analysis of the evidence on the determinants of productivity has helped inform the options available to policymakers in dealing with the UK's sluggish productivity performance. This was set out in the Economy 2030 Inquiry and continues in our work on industrial strategy.
