Where possible the full analytical evidence in subsequent chapters is referenced. Section 1.1 Summary of Results This section brings together the analytical findings from the project. The range of work covers all the milestones set for the original contract (see Appendix A), and the development of new methodology. The results here derive from the following different types of analytical work: • at the most basic level, one-off studies of firm level productivity impact where only one country has the data to perform a specific piece of analysis (for example work from Finland on ICT outsourcing). • several examples of groups of countries collaborating on micro data analysis for topics where all have similar (but not necessarily identical) firm level data which enable a common analytical framework to be used and compared (eg Netherlands and UK on ICT investment, Sweden, France and Italy on offshoring, Sweden, Netherlands and UK on innovation). • an encouraging range of firm level analysis using common metrics and common analytical code with identical data sources, either carried out by local researchers across most countries direct from local datasets, or using the data created for the project and centrally written code to run identical regression analysis, for all countries in the project except Denmark and Slovenia. • construction of an extensive ‘metadata warehouse’, which is used to weight and aggregate ICT use, structural business and business register data from surveys in all 13 countries in as comparable a way as is possible, producing distributed microdata datasets (DMD); the aggregation process operates to produce estimates of complex indicators (constructed from more than one variable from a survey) as well as indicators which depend on intersections between surveys; this metadata system can also be used to generate datasets on a highly comparable basis for firm level regression analysis within countries. • industry / country level analysis of ICT impacts, using the large (and still under-explored) dataset produced by the distributed microdata (DMD) analysis system, where we have a very high level of confidence in the comparability of indicators, and on the ability to draw reliable comparisons between industries /countries and over time. The summary below presents results in terms of the key topics tackled in the study, and draws on evidence from both firm level and DMD analysis as appropriate. 1 Eurostat Agreement No. 49102.2005.017-2006.128 Chapter 1 1.1.1 Results from firm level analysis 1.1.1.1 Coverage (Chapters 4, 5 and 6) All 13 countries participating in the study (including Denmark which had to withdraw in the late stages due to lack of personnel to undertake analysis and check results) have succeeded in producing regression and / or correlation results from firm level data, either individually or using the DMD analysis methodology developed in the project – and in most cases both. Project participants have completed analysis to show results relating ICT use at firm level to labour productivity from 11 of the 13 participating countries, on common metrics using an exactly comparable method, and using the common metadata to define and link variables. We know we can get results from the remaining countries with minor additional resources; the missing micro-data analysis is due to analytical resource constraints, or to limitations under which access to data was available for this particular project. Analysis of the properties of linked datasets in the project, using methodologies developed in earlier studies, shows that sample reweighting, using metadata and methods included in the project, is capable of dealing with most issues of ‘representativeness’ of data. This breaks down in cases where overlap between datasets is inadequate, and we have not advocated modelling in such cases. Linking of datasets in many countries, using sampling designs currently in use, leaves the overlap between ICT surveys and firm performance surveys heavily biased towards larger firms. This affects both firm level analysis and the DMD analysis. For impact conclusions adequately to reflect small firms, sampling strategies would need to change. 1.1.1.2 Common firm level analysis across all NSIs (Chapter 6) The core ICT use metrics used in the project (computer use, e-sales, e-purchases, fast internet enabled or using employees) show reasonably consistent, positive, labour productivity effects at firm level across manufacturing industries in all countries in the project, beyond the six which have been covered by earlier studies. This suggests that productivity impacts related to use of ICT in manufacturing are now relatively well established and transferable across countries within the EU. The same core ICT use metrics have much more varied relationships with labour productivity across services at firm level in different countries; for the UK, France, Nordic countries and Netherlands, positive correlations seen in prior studies, and reported in early work from this project are confirmed, in other countries participating in the project, productivity effects are insignificant or even, in one or two cases, negative. There seems to be at least some correlation between the countries (Nordic states, Netherlands, UK, France) where ICT use by firms is relatively more intensive and communications infrastructure is strong, or where there is greater market flexibility / dynamism, and the strength of the statistical relationship between ICT use and firm level productivity in services. These differences in impact for services could be explained by a number of factors, including: • differences in competitive conditions in national services markets, and / or • productivity gains requiring ‘critical mass’ in networks and ICT use, and / or • measurement difficulties in services which are better tackled in some states.

Nora Donnelly, now at University College Dublin, worked at the ESRI at the time of writing. The views expressed in this report are those of the authors and while the report was reviewed in both organisations, the views do not necessarily represent those of either the Integration Centre or the Economic and Social Research Institute. Published April 2011 © Economic and Social Research Institute ISBN: 978-0-7070-0314-6 Preface Welcome to the first Annual Monitoring Report on Integration which aims to provide a comprehensive and concise picture of the state of Integration in Ireland and to identify where in employment, education, social inclusion and active citizenship Ireland can increase the potential for integration. This report – the first of its kind in Ireland – is produced in collaboration with the ESRI and is framed within the four categories for assessing integration proposed at the EU Zaragoza Conference in April 2010. We in The Integration Centre hope that this report – and those that follow it – will be a valuable resource for policy makers and other stakeholders in Ireland and outside of the country. The study, on the basis of which this Monitoring Report on Integration has been produced, will be an annual exercise that will assist The Integration Centre to track Ireland’s progress in integration.

In 1966 the remit of the Institute was expanded to include social research, resulting in the Institute being renamed The Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI). In 2010 the Institute entered into a strategic research alliance with Trinity College Dublin, while retaining its status as an independent research institute. The ESRI is governed by an independent Council which acts as the board of the Institute with responsibility for guaranteeing its independence and integrity. The Institute’s research strategy is determined by the Council in association with the Director and staff. The research agenda seeks to contribute to three overarching and interconnected goals, namely, economic growth, social progress and environmental sustainability. The Institute’s research is disseminated through international and national peer reviewed journals and books, in reports and books published directly by the Institute itself and in the Institute’s working paper series. Researchers are responsible for the accuracy of their research. All ESRI books and reports are peer reviewed and these publications and the ESRI’s working papers can be downloaded from the ESRI website at www.esri.ie.
