Thank you to everyone who joined us at last week's conference at @kingsbschool.bsky.social.
Slides and recordings (where available) and interviews with keynote speakers will be available soon on the ESCoE website.

Final day of @escoeorg.bsky.social conference on economic measurement being kicked off by Sébastien Roux. He describes work by @insee.fr to develop augmented national accounts statistics, incorporating environmental factors by treating emissions as a production input. #EconStats2025
Final keynote from @insee.fr's Sébastien Roux exploring Insee’s Augmented National Accounts programme.
This develops new indicators that go beyond GDP, providing a better reflection of well-being and sustainability. #EconStats2025
A snapshot of last night’s exhibition and poster session. Thanks to exhibitors @productivity.bsky.social, @econ-observatory.bsky.social, Economic Futures and ONS.
#EconStats2025
Yesterday’s virtual keynote from @erikbryn.bsky.social (@stanford.edu), chaired by @kevinfoxecon.bsky.social, proposed GDP-B - a new framework for measuring the economy.
Erik showed how this framework can add trillions in value, especially benefiting lower income groups. #EconStats2025
How much do companies mark up their prices over their costs?
ESCoE Leadership Executive member @kevinfoxecon.bsky.social discussing measurement of aggregate markups and productivity.

Water is vital for life on earth. But how do we account for it? 🌊

Tommaso Bighelli (@bankofengland.bsky.social) looks at the effects on incumbents when competitors engage in M&A using German firm-level data. Outside firms expand their product range, especially in highly concentrated markets. #EconStats2025
Session on improving measurement of public sector productivity with speakers from ONS, @nisra.gov.uk and
National Police Chiefs’ Council.
This is a key area ESCoE has contributed to: escoe.ac.uk/projects/imp...
#Productivity #EconStats2025
Session on productivity at @escoeorg.bsky.social conference #EconStats2025 - @emarvasi.bsky.social explores the nexus between intangible capital, market power, & productivity. Accounting for intangibles important for estimating mark-ups - they are lower and flatter, esp for US intan-intensive inds.
Another busy room for this panel on trade and productivity in British firms with @grantfitzner.bsky.social, @christinavpalmou.bsky.social, Swati Dhingra, Gregory Thwaites, Mairi Spowage and @sophie-piton.bsky.social. #EconStats2025
Fantastic work by @sophie-piton.bsky.social and co-authors investigating measurement of trade in banking services. Measurement of implicit income is challenging, but finds effect of Brexit once looking at stocks of loans and deposits rather than FISIM. #EconStats2025
Now at ESCoE conference #EconStats2025, a panel discussion on trade and productivity with a range of speakers.
Trade a topic of renewed interest, and productivity always important! Traders are more productive than non-traders, but much of that is selection effects.
Richard explores productivity implications of declining dynamism and the productivity slowdown. Contrasts diffusion with dynamism (with aid of sharks!) Lower responsiveness of firms to productivity shocks, failing to scale up, could depress dynamism and growth. #EconStats2025
A couple of📷s from day 1 of the ESCoE conference @kingsbschool.bsky.social.
Today we have a panel session on trade & productivity in the UK, a keynote from @erikbryn.bsky.social & a range of special & contributed sessions.
#EconStats2025 @chrisgiles.ft.com @dianecoyle1859.bsky.social
Diane notes that the decline in dynamism and productivity growth are global, so global explanations needed. Complexity of production methods and global production methods could inhibit dynamism, startups, scaleups. Some better measurement needed! #EconStats2025
Jakob sets the scene: competition has declined, though measurement is tricky, & probably less in the UK than US. Not clear that increase in market power is driver of reduced business dynamism. Market power has not increased in UK labour market overall, though regional variation. #EconStats2025
Day 2 of the @escoeorg.bsky.social conference on economic measurement, kicking off with a panel on competition, dynamism and growth with @jschneebacher.bsky.social, @dianecoyle1859.bsky.social, @richarddavies.bsky.social and @teraallas.bsky.social. #EconStats2025
Finally @joelkariel.bsky.social presents new work on multi-establishment firms (MEFs), exploring their scale, span and scope. These MEFs are rare but large and important, though decreasingly so since 2010. Business dynamism fallen amongst MEFs, driving aggregate fall. #EconStats2025
It’s becoming more and more important to compare how the welfare from the consumption of digital goods compares to the welfare consumers get from traditional goods.
Interesting work from ESCoE Research Associate @nguyendavid.bsky.social on this topic. #EconStats2025
Next session at @escoeorg.bsky.social conference on productivity. Paper from @aaronputseys.bsky.social using a novel firm-to-firm transactions dataset to measure intangible investments, and exploring the J-curve-type mismeasurement of TFP at the firm level. Very interesting. #EconStats2025
