Table 11: GVA per capita Indicator Time series Data source Geographic basis Definitions Comments Gross value added (GVA) per capita at constant (2000) prices. 1980 to 2005 (annual). Cambridge Econometrics, GVA estimates; plus ONS, mid-year population estimates. Data for NUTS3 areas is best-fit to 1998 TTWA boundaries. Figures are estimates of workplace-based GVA, in which the income of commuters is allocated to their place of work. None. Table 12: Employment in tradable sectors Indicator Time series Data source Geographic basis Definitions Comments Percentage of city-region’s employees in tradable sectors (as defined below). 1981, 1991, 2005 (economic trough years). ONS: 1981 Census of Employment; 1991 Annual Employment Survey; 2005 Annual Business Inquiry. Data for local authority districts is best-fit to 1998 TTWA boundaries (pre-1996 districts are used for 1981 data). Tradable sectors are defined as the following 1992 SIC sections: A, B & C (agriculture, forestry/fishing, mining & quarrying), D (manufacturing), J & K (financial, real estate & other business services). None. Table 13: Visible exports per capita Indicator Time series Data source Geographic basis Definitions Comments Value of visible exports per capita (current prices). 1996 to 2002 (annual). HMRC, discontinued sub-regional trade data series; plus ONS, mid-year population estimates. Varies, but mainly NUTS3 areas (although some NUTS2 areas), which are best-fit to 1998 TTWA boundaries. None. Trade data for West Yorkshire is available only at NUTS2 level; separate figures for Leeds & Wakefield city-regions cannot therefore be derived. 84
Indicators of new path creation Table 14: Firm births per capita Indicator Time series Data source Geographic basis Definitions Comments Annual VAT registrations per 10,000 resident adults. 1980 to 2005 (annual). Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform (previously DTI), VAT registration statistics; plus ONS, mid-year population estimates. Data for local authority districts is best-fit to 1998 TTWA boundaries (pre-1996 districts are used for 1980-1993 data). None. Trends in the numbers of VAT-registered enterprises are affected by changes in the VAT registration threshold. The threshold was increased by a significant (much higher than inflation) amount in 1991 and 1993. Table 15: Firm density per capita Indicator Time series Data source Geographic basis Definitions Comments VAT-registered enterprises per 10,000 resident adults. 1980 to 2006 (annual). Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform (previously DTI), VAT registration statistics; plus ONS, mid-year population estimates. Data for local authority districts is best-fit to 1998 TTWA boundaries (pre-1996 districts are used for 1980-1993 data). None. Trends in the numbers of VAT-registered enterprises are affected by changes in the VAT registration threshold. The threshold was increased by a significant (much higher than inflation) amount in 1991 and 1993. Indicators of new path creation Table 16: University 5* Research Departments Indicator Time series Data source Geographic basis Definitions Comments Number of 5* and 5-rated university departments. 1992, 1996 & 2001 (RAE years). HEFCE, Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) results by institution and unit of assessment. Universities are allocated to 1998 TTWAs according to the location of their main campus. The highest grade in the 1996 & 2001 RAE was 5*; the highest grade in the 1992 RAE was 5. Numbers are also expressed per 100,000 adult residents. 85
