Cutting through Complexity: How Data Science Can Help Policymakers Understand the World Open
Economies are fundamentally complex and becoming more so, but the new discipline of data science-which combines programming, statistics, and domain knowledge-can help cut through that complexity, potentially with productivity benefits to b…

Packaging code and data for reproducible research: A case study of journey time statistics Open
The effective and ethical use of data to inform decision-making offers huge value to the public sector, especially when delivered by transparent, reproducible, and robust data processing workflows. One way that governments are unlocking th…

Solving Heterogeneous General Equilibrium Economic Models with Deep Reinforcement Learning Open
General equilibrium macroeconomic models are a core tool used by policymakers to understand a nation's economy. They represent the economy as a collection of forward-looking actors whose behaviours combine, possibly with stochastic effects…

Pay Transparency and Gender Equality Open
Since 2018 UK firms with at least 250 employees have been mandated to publicly disclose gender equality indicators. Exploiting variations in this mandate across firm size and time we show that pay transparency closes 18 percent of the gend…

Pay Transparency and Cracks in the Glass Ceiling Open
This paper studies firms’ and employees’ responses to pay transparency requirements. Each year since 2018, more than 10,000 UK firms have been required to disclose publicly their gender pay gap and gender composition along the wage distrib…

Transforming Naturally Occurring Text Data into Economic Statistics: The Case of Online Job Vacancy Postings Open
Using a dataset of 15 million UK job adverts from a recruitment website, we construct new economic statistics measuring labour market demand. These data are ‘naturally occurring’, having originally been posted online by firms. They offer i…

Agent-Based Models: Understanding the Economy from the Bottom Up Open
This article considers the strengths of agent-based modelling, which explains the behaviour of a system by simulating the behaviour of each individual ‘agent’ in it, and the ways that it can be used to help central banks understand the eco…

Efficient evaluation of collisional energy transfer terms for plasma particle simulations Open
Particle-based simulations, such as in particle-in-cell (PIC) codes, are widely used in plasma physics research. The analysis of particle energy transfers, as described by the second moment of the Boltzmann equation, is often necessary wit…
