From data to analysis

In these pages we look at what one needs to do to get from the raw data in the LBD and use it to measure economic concepts and use those in analysis. Often there are multiple ways to measure the same thing, some are better than others - some measure the concept more closely, others have better coverage.

This will be based on existing, published work. You can download research papers using the LBD by going to the handily titled: https://nzproductivity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PH/pages/753888 page.

Some particular papers that we rely on for content in these pages are:
