Webinar: smart data for growth
We’re bringing together people who are passionate about advancing smart data research for public good
Registration will open soon
Smart Data Research UK is launching a new series of live events exploring the opportunities and challenges of using emerging forms of data in research.
Our first session will focus on the economy. With UK productivity growth remaining sluggish since 2007, and falling response rates to economic surveys, researchers and policymakers are exploring how new forms of data can complement traditional statistics and give fresh insights into jobs, money and living standards.
What to expect
Joe Cuddeford, Director of Smart Data Research UK, will chair a panel discussion with experts at the forefront of this work:
- Rachel Griffith, Co-Director, Centre for the Microeconomic Analysis of Public Policy (Institute for Fiscal Studies). Rachel will share her perspective on using online data to analyse the labour market.
- Magdalena Getler, Head of Research Growth, Smart Data Foundry, home to SDR UK’s Financial Data Service (FINDS). Magdalena will discuss how banking and finance data help us to understand financial resilience across households and firms.
- Michael Hardie, Deputy Director, Prices Division of the Office for National Statistics (ONS). Michael will describe how ONS is using point-of-sale and card payment data to improve price statistics and GDP measurement.
- Speaker from the Bank of England (pending) on how the Bank is exploring alternative indicators to assess economic resilience.
