Abstract

This study explores the variations in the number and types of economic indicators adopted across different localities within the 2008 Local Area Agreement (LAA) process by identifying the factors that influenced indicator selection and the extent and nature of the relationship of the adopted indicators to processes of local economic development. It does not cover subsequent negotiations on the refresh of LAAs. Ten case study localities characterised by different numbers and types of economic indicators were purposively selected to reflect different types of local economic conditions and governance arrangements
