1) There are advantages and disadvantages when using household, firm or other micro data to inform regional development policy. Consider, for example, the issue of the integration of migrants in the labour market and their impact on the regional and local economies. How would you (i) assess, at the regional or urban scale, the integration of migrants in the labour market and which type of data would you use? (ii) What research strategy would you envisage to assess the effect of immigration on regional productivity over the medium and long run? 2) The OECD has been working on the topic of inclusive growth over the past years. There are some views that argue of a trade-off between the two policy goals while others believe there are complementarities where the regional dimension plays a key role. In your view, from a policy perspective, you think (i) there is a need first to pursue growth policies and then inclusion; (ii) inclusion policies first and then growth; (iii) both simultaneously. Please substantiate your answer using an OECD region as an example.
