TPI

The Productivity Institute research organisation explores what productivity means for business, for workers and for communities. It is a UK-wide research organisation established in September 2020 and funded by a £26 million grant from the Economic Social Research Council (ESRC) in the UK – the largest single grant in its history – and supported by £6 million from its ten partner institutions. It aims to pinpoint the causes of the stagnation in UK productivity and focus energies to laying the foundations for a new era of sustained and inclusive productivity growth, which will improve our material standard of living. Our interdisciplinary world-class research draws on expertise from social sciences, engineering, physics, political science, business management, innovation research and data science. This research is developed in collaboration with business, through our eight Regional Productivity Forums, and policy users, through The Productivity Commission, which is led by partner The National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR).
