Abstract
This chapter explains how different kinds of economic and labour market data, at national regional and local levels, can be combined in a consistent and systematic fashion to paint a rich picture of a local economy and labour market. This includes the ability to develop a range of scenarios and to assess impacts of external shocks. Most countries in the world now have well established economic and labour market data at national level (including formal, national accounts, and detailed information on employment, population, etc.). Increasingly such information is now also being collected and constructed at a regional level. However information is much more limited at a sub-regional and local level. Technological advances connected with the information and communications technology (ICT) have facilitated
making estimates and constructing models at this level, using building blocks based on such detailed data. The term national level is used here to refer to the whole of the United Kingdom (UK). Regional refers to the 9 English regions and the other constituent countries within the UK (Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland). Sub-region or local levels refer to any smaller geographical areas.
