NIESR

NIESR is an independent educational charity conducting research on a wide variety of topics, including economic modelling, productivity and employment.

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research is Britain's longest established independent research institute, founded in 1938. The vision of our founders was to carry out research to improve understanding of the economic and social forces that affect people’s lives, and the ways in which policy can bring about change. Over seventy-five years later, this remains central to NIESR’s ethos.

We continue to apply our expertise in both quantitative and qualitative methods and our understanding of economic and social issues to current debates and to influence policy. The Institute is independent of all party political interests. We receive no core funding from government and are not affiliated to any single university, although our staff regularly undertake projects in collaboration with leading academic institutions.

🔖 The latest CFM-NIESR survey

The panel agrees that rising gilt yields in April and May reflected a risk premium associated with political and fiscal policy uncertainty.

There is also agreement that a more credible fiscal consolidation plan would help to bring long-term borrowing costs down, and that measures to shield households from higher inflation would be counterproductive to this endeavour.

🔖 How best to communicate uncertainty in economic forecasting?

What is the usefulness of analysis?

Stephen Millard explains in our last blog ⤵️

What problem is scenario analysis trying to solve? When putting together our forecast, we need to address a simple but important problem: macroeconomic forecasts are inherently uncertain, yet users often interpret them as precise predictions. This was a particular issue in April where we needed t

The sharp increase in March followed by a small drop in April suggests that the initial effects of the ‌ have materialised more quickly than anticipated, indicating a rapid transmission into inflation.

Huw Dixon shed some (concerning) light on the inflation outlook ⬇️

“GDP grew by 0.6% in the first quarter – a relatively strong outturn, but it largely reflects old news. Although growth held up in March, there are signs of underlying… To access the content, membership account is required. Get involved

UK long-dated yields have reached levels not seen for nearly three decades. Is politics - at least partly - to blame?

In short, oil prices are the key driver. But there is also a small, statistically clear effect from political risk - David Aikman explains here ⬇️

Disastrous local election results have triggered open talk of a Labour leadership contest. How much of the UK's excess yield relates to the political risk?
