Chang, C Y (2005) Recent development of uk construction products sector: Evidence from microdata. In: Khosrowshahi, F (ed.) Proceedings of 21st Annual ARCOM Conference, 7-9 September 2005, London, UK.
Abstract
Construction products sector is an important pillar of the UK economy. Under the UK government's productivity agenda, how to raise the productivity of this sector therefore becomes an issue of significance. Before exploring the productivity drivers of this sector, a systematic understanding of its industry structure is essential. The characterisation of this sector will be shown in this research from different dimensions, average size of enterprise, capital intensity and concentration ratios. These results characterise the features of the constituent industries of construction products sector and can be a useful basis for exploring productivity performance of this sector in the further studies.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
