The Information Requirements for an Effective Regional Policy
This paper considers the recommendations of the Allsopp Review on the adequacy of UK regional economic statistics. It raises general concerns over the philosophy underpinning the review and specific questions as to whether the review's recommendations are sufficient to operate effectively the present UK regional policy regime. In particular, the institutional arrangements that make up the 'new localism' in UK regional policy have data requirement…
Constrained Discretion’ in UK Monetary and Regional Policy
HM Treasury claims that the notion of “Constrained Discretion” which directs the effective operation of UK monetary policy applies equally to other delegated and devolved policies, such as the use of Regional Development Agencies in the delivery of UK regional policy. We question this claim from a "transactions cost politics" viewpoint. We argue that the delegation of responsibility for monetary stabilisation raises principal agent issues quite d…
Euro-Commentary
Around two-thirds of European Structural Funds are allocated to Objective One regions, classified as such because their level of GDP per head is less than 75 percent of the EU average. In the spending round 2000-2006, four UK areas qualified and, as a result, these areas combined could receive up to £3b from Brussels and also additional funding from the UK Treasury to maximize the `call down' of funds. This Euro-commentary questions whether all f…
Sector-Specific Factor Subsidies and Employment in a Regional Price-Endogenous Export-Base Model
In this paper we use a variant of the 1-2-3 trade-focused general-equilibrium model to calculate the employment effects of factor subsidies applied to the regional export base. Analytical expressions are derived for the change in basic employment and the export-base employment multiplier. These expressions are compared with the conventional hybrid approach where the impact on the recipient sectors is analysed by using a partial-equilibrium method…
