How can we enable better use of UK business administrative and survey data by researchers? What are the best ways to solve data cleaning and data use issues that are common across many research areas?

Background

We aim to lead in developing cutting-edge methodologies that inform evidence-based policy and drive innovation. We recognise that some topics are measured through numerous methods and may have contextual requirements.

DBT seeks robust, innovative methods to assess topics including:
- the impact of emerging technologies including Blockchain and AI
- the long-term effects of its business growth services
- the short-, medium- and macro-economic impacts of policy interventions and Industrial Strategy programmes
- measurement of product level emissions for reflection of the economy to inform trade and enable global alignment
- evaluation of economic and environmental impacts relating to free trade agreements, mutual recognition agreements, and trade policy developments from the lens of both bilateral and multilateral agreements
- tracking the performance of UK sectors, particularly sectors such as the Advanced Manufacturing sector, so that DBT can better support growth and success
