Publishing in the knowledge economy The industry today 4.2 Costs and resources There is little data available on costs for publishing as a whole, but the Annual Business Inquiry gives a figure for total employment costs (Tables 4.3 and Figure 4.4). Since employment data is unavailable before 1998, it is only possible to show gross valueadded per employee for three years (Figure 4.5). It appears to have grown rapidly – GVA per employee in printing grew by 13.9% in the same period, for example. More detailed data on purchases of goods and services is only available up to 1999, with the break in the series in 1997, so two numbers are given for that year in Table 4.4. This appears to show a fairly steep rise in the total purchases of goods and materials from 1993 to 1997, and a slowing thereafter. This is very much in line with the subsequent chart on paper prices, showing the sharp rise in that period. The rise in the figure for telecommunications services and computer and related services is more likely to reflect a more extensive use of these services, rather than a rise in prices. 4.2.1 Paper prices Figure 4.6 illustrates the trend in paper prices since 1987, showing the volatility, the sharp rise in newsprint prices in 2001 and the estimated fall in 2002. There is still concern, particularly in the newspaper industry, about the increasing concentration of paper supply and a fear that inappropriate action to support European producers would make the publishing industry more vulnerable to price rises. The suppliers have already declared their intention to try to limit price volatility in future by controlling supply more effectively.
