Details
The Business data use and productivity study explores data use in individual UK businesses and at the economy-wide level, to better understand the data-related activities and attitudes towards data that promote higher productivity and growth.
The study is based on a longitudinal survey that asks businesses about the amount of money and time they invest in data assets, in addition to their data-related skills and activities.
The first wave of this study includes a report that uses a sum-of-costs approach to estimate the current level of data investment in the UK economy. It also explores the potential impact on productivity of a larger and more advanced data market.
