Working Paper 9: Measuring and Comparing World Cities

Key information

Publication type: General

Publication date:

This paper studies the economic performance of a shortlist of 27 cities, as estimated by seven sources. It finds that estimates of even the most basic indicators, such as the level of and growth in productivity, diverge so much that no estimate can be relied on. This situation has led GLA Economics to produce a benchmark dataset that specifies output, employment and productivity for 27 cities.
