## Description

The aim of the project is to develop methodology options to measure UK service exports by the four modes of supply as defined in the General Agreement of Trade in Services \(GATS\), specifically: - mode one: cross border supply e\.g\. sending an email - mode two: consumption abroad e\.g\. tourists visiting the UK - mode three: commercial presence e\.g\. setting up a branch abroad - mode four: presence of natural persons e\.g\. fly-in/fly-out visit Specific objectives are: • A systematic review of the evidence base, building on MSITS and the sector-specific studies referenced above\. • To present a range of options for measuring the modes for the UK\. Any methodology suggested must cover all modes in order to facilitate comparison between them\. While previous approaches will be considered, there is also a need for innovative thinking and the project will add value by generating new ideas and combinations of approaches\. The options presented should vary in ambition and resource implications, with indicative cost and timescale presented for each option\.
