This paper explores a decentralisation initiative in the United Kingdom - the\nNorthern Powerhouse strategy (NPS) - in terms of its main goal: strengthening\nconnectivity between Northern cities of England. It focuses on economic\ninteractions of these cities, defined by ownership linkages between firms,\nsince the NPS's launch in 2010. The analysis reveals a relatively weak increase\nin the intensity of economic regional patterns in the North, in spite of a\nshift away from NPS cities' traditional manufacturing base. These results\nsuggest potential directions for policy-makers in terms of the future\nimplementation of the NPS.\n
