Capability Mapping

+

A methodology based on Economic Complexity concepts from Harvard and MIT, assessing relative capabilities at national and subnational levels across manufacturing and services. It enables policymakers to identify actions that strengthen positioning in the knowledge economy and create opportunities for new products and services.

Questions we address
  • Mapping the drivers of a knowledge economy and productive knowledge
  • Opportunities for development and spillover effects of products
  • Which geographies, capabilities and value chains need focus
  • Establishing constructive dialogue with the private sector
Three-part approach
  • Manufacturing Sector Adaptation, knowledge & productivity sources into industrial policy
  • Product-Level Complexity Analysis, future products via anticipated R&D and innovation investment
  • Service-Based Economic Complexity, trade in services across 12 Balance of Payments areas

Labour Markets & Resilience

+

Understanding the impact of health, economic, social or political shocks on the labour market is fundamental. Resilience is an economy's capacity to absorb shocks, at city, labour or national level, and our tools cover trade, labour and city sectors.

Four guiding questions
  • Anticipating potential economic shocks
  • Short- versus long-term responses
  • Structural and cyclical reforms for resilience
  • How economies compare, and improve their ratings
Three models
  • Global Labour Resilience Index, annual, led by Sir Christopher Pissarides
  • Global Freight Resilience Index: 100+ countries
  • City Resilience Index
