  1. Performance Measurement, Regulation and UK Productivity A Multidisciplinary Overview of Unintended and Indirect Effects Ideas factory Presentation, 29 September 2005 Joseph Antony, Gerben Bakker, Kim Tan, Kathryn Walsh and Alan Williams Leeds-Essex-Nottingham-Loughborough-Exeter

  2. The Puzzle: British productivity is lagging Many attempts to improve it, without a winning result  Could regulation hold the key to the problem?

  3. Objectives: • Multidisciplinary literature overview • Seminal cases • Comparison of methods • Scales of observation • Detailed analysis of small number of cases

  4. Objectives: 3. Develop framework for larger proposal 4. Effect on long-run UK productivity vis-à-vis US and Europe • Implications for managers and policy makers

  5. Some issues: • Multidisciplinary overview literature • Cost-benefit analysis • Optimal precision administrative rules • Measuring regulation across countries • Connection performance measurement within firm with regulation

  6. Some issues (continued): • The policy landscape • The politics of regulatory change • Not getting a slice of the larger pie • Sowing the seeds of one’s own destruction

  7. Potential case studies: • Airline deregulation • End-of-life legislation • Other cases

  8. Investigators and roles: • S. Joseph Anthony • Gerben Bakker • Kim Tan • Kathryn Walsh • Alan Williams

  9. Outputs: • Framework for follow-up large-scale project • Pilot/feasibility study for potential case studies • Essay-style review of the literature • Multidisciplinary • Seminal cases • Identificayion of gaps • Article in academic journal based on review

  10. Impact: • Academics • Policy makers • Firms • Investors • Emergence interdisciplinary knowledge network • Follow-up large-scale project

  11. End-of-life legislations: the indirect consequences Dr. Joseph Antony Dr. Anjula Gurtoo

  12. Focus • How legislations impact productivity • Focus: End of life legislations • Direct consequences: recycling, waste management, costs, technology – new technologies and tech. efficiency • Indirect consequences • Unforeseen consequences • Unintended consequences

  13. Some significant issues • Seen to significantly impacts producers in electronic and electrical, automotive/transport and producers heavily using plastics and metals. These are typically large size UK companies. • Calls for a different framework of consumption – away from the current paradigm of ‘individualism’ and ‘ownership’. Evolution of shared/community consumption structures? How much are we willing to give in? • Study of Risk: to the government; industry; at the level of producer, lender and industrial user/buyer.

  14. Research plan • Nature of end-of-life legislations: its various forms • Identification of focus areas/fields • Identification of industry specific and focus specific journals and authors • Data collection • A tentative outline of analysis • Possible indirect consequence – which industries gets impacted – the significant issues – key effects and findings - author(s) who has studied the effect • The emerging framework of legislation and UK productivity

  15. Time lines • Sept to November 2005 – identification of issues and data collection • December 2005 – review meeting • Jan to March 2006 – data collection and analysis • April 2006 – presentation of analysis

  16. Performance Measurement, Regulation and UK Productivity Feedback Joseph Antony, Gerben Bakker, Kim Tan, Kathryn Walsh and Alan Williams Leeds-Essex-Nottingham-Loughborough-Exeter

  17. Productivity & Regulation • Internal/external perspectives • Small-scale pilot study of c. one year • Integration/coordination • Several meetings planned • Multidisciplinarity is project’s strength • Balance

  18. Productivity & Regulation • Ambitious blue skies research • Front-loaded with exploratory work • In the spirit of the Ideas Factory

  19. Productivity & Regulation • Focus on regulation • Common framework • Institutional economics approach (North) • Multilevel governance

  20. Productivity & Regulation • Exploration and clarification of terms and concepts • Intended/unintended • Foreseen/unforeseen • Direct/indirect

  22. Planning • Start first October • End: January 2007
