Measuring intangibles

Why should we measure intangible investment? What are the contributions of intangible investments to innovation, competitiveness, growth and productivity in Europe? In this video Jonathan Haskel (Business School, Imperial College London) answers these and other questions. "In European economies where governments spend a lot on R&D, the private sector also invests a lot in intangible assets, not only R&D, but also in knowledge, for example software", states Haskel among other issues.

Jonathan Haskel participated in the INDICSER Mid-term Conference Indicators for evaluating international performance in service sectors.
