You asked

I am requesting:

  • All data concerning total factor productivity (TFP) of the UK (by region/LA)

  • All data concerning capital services in UK (by region/LA)

  • All data concerning labour input (in hours worked) in UK (by region/LA)

This data will be used to model TFP and/or construct my own measure (using the latter 2 pieces of information). All data is needed for years 2011-2015 and is needed at a regional level. I am aware this information is available already at the industry level. I require this information in a form in which I can allocate values above to their region/LA.

We said

​Thank you for your request.

Unfortunately, we do not hold regional or sub-regional capital stocks data, and as such does not hold estimates of regional and sub-national capital services of Multi-Factor Productivity (MFP, also known as Total-Factor Productivity, TFP).

However, we have an ambitious development strategy around productivity and is working to develop these data in future.

Regional labour input measures for productivity estimates (jobs and hours worked) are available for a range of geographies, covering the period required.
