Tyler P. and Rhodes J. (1986) The census of production as an indicator of regional differences in productivity and profitability in the United Kingdom, Reg. Studies 20, 331–339. This paper identifies the major difficulties in using Census of Production data for measuring differences in regional productivity and efficiency in manufacturing in the United Kingdom and assesses how these difficulties have become more serious in recent years. The paper begins with a discussion of what is measured in the Census of Production and how this relates to other data on costs as measured in the National Income Blue Book. Problems of measurement are discussed and possible adjustments suggested, particularly relating to the measurement of profits. The paper produces estimates of Census value added per employee, earnings per employee and gross profits per employee for the manufacturing sector in the regions of the United Kingdom over the period 1951–75. Estimates are also derived for the British conurbations and their surroundings hinterlands for the more limited period 1958–68
