Research Areas

Productivity

The  team conducts research on the interplay between economic activity and the environment, the role of Luxembourg in global production processes, and the business cycle of Luxembourg. Our research, which supports the National Productivity Board of Luxembourg in developing its evaluations and policy proposals, regularly features in the annual reports of the Board.

Entrepreneurship 

We also conducts studies on entrepreneurship, its drivers and consequences, emphasizing the personal and societal traits that encourage or hinder entrepreneurship. The team participates in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), an international research programme designed to gather and analyse comparative data on entrepreneurship. As part of this effort, the team conducts the GEM annual surveys for Luxembourg and releases the annual report on the state of entrepreneurship in the country. 

Well-being and Quality of Life

The well-being team develops new ways of assessing social and economic progress, beyond traditional income-based measures of welfare. The research focuses on the causes and consequences of well-being, on the interplay between social and environmental sustainability, and on well-being for policymaking. The team first implemented the project PIBien-être, which monitors and assesses quality-of-life in Luxembourg using a multidimensional set of indicators. The team hosts international conferences and runs the webinar series “Measuring Progress”. In 2025, STATEC and STATEC Research will host the 30th anniversary conference of ISQOLS, the International Society for Quality of Life Studies. 

The team’s research is disseminated through reports, wide audience releases, and scientific articles.
