While some cities and regions are seen as dynamic and productive engines of their national economies, the potential benefits they can generate are not always equally shared nor accessible to their residents. Generating and spreading opportunity more widely is central to ensuring people and places are not ‘left behind’ by their evolving city and regional economies. Crucially, existing understandings, data sources and yardsticks for identifying and measuring inclusive economies are under-developed. Indicators and frameworks are missing for monitoring and evaluating policy interventions seeking to promote more inclusive forms of economy. The project aims to address these two gaps. First it will develop a clearer (spatial) framework for defining, understanding and measuring inclusive economy. Second it will develop indicators and yardsticks to support stronger monitoring and evaluation activities, drawing on existing, as well as new and emerging data sources. The project provides a unique opportunity to research a timely and important topic with wide ranging policy relevance for international, national, regional, urban and local institutions. It will afford the student the chance to develop skills in critically engaging contemporary debates about moving ‘Beyond GDP’ as a goal for prosperity, conceptualising more inclusive forms of economy, and providing underpinning data sources to support policy formulation, monitoring and evaluation. Opportunities for innovation exist in devising new composite measures and indices across multiple dimensions of inclusive economies and in developing mapping and visualisation tools in different national settings. The MRes will engage critically with conceptions of inclusive economy and review existing data sources, indicators and frameworks for its measurement drawing from international practices and case studies. The PhD will develop a framework for defining, understanding and measuring inclusive economy and growth, including an integrated monitoring and evaluation component, explore the potential of new composite measures, and develop new visualisation and mapping tools. The framework and its tools will then be road tested using data from selected case study settings in the UK and internationally. The successful candidate will have essential skills and knowledge of local, regional and urban development and policy issues and debates; essential knowledge and skills in spatial statistics and analysis including mapping and visualisation. Knowledge and skills in spatial data sources in particular national settings including the UK and other countries and knowledge of ‘Beyond GDP’ and inclusive economy/growth issues and debates are not essential but would be desirable.
