We have unveiled the findings from the 6 winners of our economic research competition.
The winning institutions – the University of Edinburgh, University of Birmingham, University College London, London School of Economics (LSE), Beauhurst, and Fathom Consulting – presented their findings at an event at the LSE to an audience of academics, consultants, policymakers and think tanks.The event showcases our research project, aimed at understanding how regulation can support UK growth and competitiveness.The findings span a wide range of themes including competitiveness, productivity, and measuring systemic risk.Kate Collyer, the FCA’s chief economist, said:'We’ve made supporting growth a priority in our 5-year strategy. As an evidence-led regulator, we want to understand how best to do that. While the research findings offer valuable insights, they also highlight the complexity of the issue and that further work is needed. By engaging with multiple perspectives, we’re helping to shape a more informed and inclusive debate around economic growth.'We’ll continue to strengthen our pipeline of economic research, addressing evidence gaps to inform policy development and better support economic growth.The research will benefit a wide range of stakeholders beyond the FCA. It will support broader policy discussions, inform industry practices, and contribute to academic and public understanding of UK financial services.
