RDE563 Understand the impact on the UK of introducing an obligatory payment on c

The aim of this research commission is to compare different financial benefit sharing mechanisms and permutations within those mechanisms in terms of payment trigger points for companies. The applications, risks, and implications of these options on different market participants are expected to be explored through the research. This will involve engagement with relevant stakeholders to understand and evidence likely impacts of each benefit sharing mechanism as well as desk-based research to estimate the size of these impacts.

The research is expected to identify, appraise, and monetise the economic impacts on the UK economy associated with the introduction of different financial benefit sharing mechanisms on DSI-dependent industries in the UK. The research will also identify, appraise, and monetise the economic impacts on other key stakeholders including Public Sector bodies and Civil Society. This research will add to the UK's evidence base ahead of the Second meeting of the CBD's Ad Hoc Open-ended Working Group on Benefit-sharing from the Use of DSI in August 2024.
