Intangible Capital and Measured Productivity
Because firms invest heavily in R&D, software, brands, and other intangible assets—at a rate close to that of tangible assets—changes in measured GDP, which does not include all intangible investments, understate the actual changes in total output. If changes in the labor input are more precisely measured, then it is possible to observe little change in measured total factor productivity (TFP) ...
متن کاملIntangible assets and capital structure
Tangible assets, many of which can be easily collateralized, support debt. Accordingly, the amount of tangible assets is well-established as a principal driver of leverage. As investing is shifting more and more from tangible to intangible assets, it becomes crucial to understand to what extent intangible assets support debt. Analyzing this question empirically has been largely unfeasible due t...

Intangible capital has arguably become an important component of corporate value. However, it is still an open question whether uncertainty associated with investment in intangible capital is higher or lower than physical capital. We estimate the value of intangible capital in a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model that features capital adjustment costs, investment-speci c technological...
متن کاملValuing IT-Related Intangible Capital
As part of an effort to examine the value of intangible assets in the firm, our study is the first to create IT-related intangible asset stocks from firm-level survey data. We also use data on ITrelated business practices in order to understand the distribution of IT-related intangibles, and we create asset stocks to value research and development (R&D) and brand. Using a panel of 130 firms ove...
متن کاملIntangible Capital and International Income Differences

I calibrate the parameters associated with intangible capital by using new estimates of investment in intangibles by Corrado et al. (2006). When intangible capital is added to the model, the TFP elasticity of output increases from 2.14 to 2.64. This finding imp...
