Measuring levelling up in a many‐dimensioned world: an application to the United Kingdom

Fiscal Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The analysis of regional growth or levelling up in income, health and human resources is a challenge as it involves measuring growth multidimensionally with ordered categorical variables.
