The research of this programme covers macro-economic performance, looking in particular at the roles of labour market flexibility and entrepreneurship in fostering growth, and at the role of new technologies in long run economic growth. The main development during the last year has been the launch of a major project on the internet economy. This is led by Harvard's Richard Freeman. Two major - and unique - sets of data are being collected, from internet recruitment companies and from a global internet auction firm. Analysis of these data sets will commence next year, and indicates the Centre's commitment to rigorous and original empirical analysis of current issues driving economic performance. Key research areas: Institutional barriers, flexibility and economic performance Macroeconomics and economic growth Monetary inertia The economics of monetary unions
