UK Markups and Profit Margins during the pandemic and its aftermath
We analyse UK markups and profit margins for the pandemic period and its aftermath using unconsolidated balance sheets of non-financial corporations for both listed and unlisted firms. The markup increases by 14.7% between 2014 and 2022, exceeding any previously documented growth rate for UK markups, despite major economic, ecological and geo-political crises.
