A short 45 minute session on making the most of available data on business investment. A basic overview for economic growth officers in LAs and MCAs.
Business investment is lagging, and is commonly listed as an important part of the nation’s “productivity puzzle”. However, understanding what this looks like at a local level isn’t always straightforward. This session will provide an introduction to available business investment data for local policymakers, covering key concepts, what data is available, and things to be aware of when analysing your local area’s data.
Join us for an overview of understanding your local area’s business investment data from our Deputy Director of Evidence Victoria Sutherland, after which you’ll have an opportunity to ask questions.
This short 45-minute session will complement our new ‘how to’ guide, Understanding local economic performance: investment to be published soon. These sessions are aimed at policymakers who want to make good use of evidence but are pressed for time and may not have support from data analysts.
