Theme
There is a growing body of work on the measurement and capitalisation of intangible/knowledge assets (such as R&D, design, training, reputational and organisational capital) and its effect on output and growth. This workshop aims to look primarily at micro work. What micro sources are available? Do micro sources measure the range of intangibles that the macro work has identified? What existing facts do we know that would better inform research in this area? Papers covering areas such as new data sources, accounting work and microeconometric studies are welcomed.
