Value Producing Intangible Capital • The appropriate production function? • Organisation capital: Hellerstein, Neumark and Troske (1999) Augmenting Labor Productivity • Model the firm’s output as a function of organization capital instrument, physical capital K, organization capital-adjusted labor L, RND (representing other intangible assets) and material M • Return on the share of OC workers, used as an instrument • R&D and ICT assets: perpetual inventory method • Results • Share of intangiblesfromsales in six EU countries • Growthaccounting • Decomposition: withing, entry, exit • Intangibles and globalisation • Intangibles explaining market value over book value of the firms listed in stock exchange (Finland) University of Vaasa | Department of Economics| INNODRIVE

Innodrive LEED data Finland, Norway, Germany, Czech Rep., Slovenia, UK • Germany (DIW) 1999-2003 • Social Security Dataset (SSD) about 35 million workers over three years and a true panel for the period 1999–2001 • CzechRepublic (CERGE–EI) 2000-2007 • National employer survey: 2,000 firms and over 1 million workers annually • AMADEUS database • Slovenia (IER) 1994-2004 • 1) balance sheet data for Slovenian firms, 2) income tax statements at the individual level and 3) the Statistical Register of Employment (SRDAP) • up to 500,000 workers in 26,000 firms across 11 years University of Vaasa | Department of Economics| INNODRIVE
Figure 1. Occupational shares LEED data • Oganisation worker share (management, marketing) varies between 13% and 18% • R&D workers represent a rather notable share at around 7%, low 5% in Germany University of Vaasa | Department of Economics| INNODRIVE

MICRO and MACRO Intangibles heterogeneous • MACRO: new intangibles (excl. software, database) 2-7% of GDP, EU27 average 4.8% , micro estimates likely higher • MACRO: • 1995-2000 - the most dynamic countries are the Eastern European Economies; • 2000-2005 - all the Old European economies but Austria recorded a decrease of the GDP share of intangibles • Economic competencies account for the largest share of intangibles, from 45 % to 75% of all intangibles • Organization capital in MICRO (incl. other categories as advertising in MACRO) account for the biggest share of economic competencies
Intangibles per Sales Finland and Norway FINLAND NORWAY • R&D assetsexceed OC capital, slightincrease in OC capital per sales in Finland
Intangibles per Sales Germany and UK UK GERMANY • Little organisation capital butlarge effect on productivity growth? • OC capital increased sharply over time • OC capital exceeds R&D asset
Intangibles per Sales Slovenia SLOVENIA • Little organisation capital? • R&D asset per salesdecreasedsharply
Growth Accounting • MACRO: The relative contribution of capital deepening and TFP to labour productivity growth changed considerably after the inclusion of all intangibles, with the rate of capital deepening increasing and the growth of TFP decreasing. • MICRO and MACRO hypothesis: intangibles have not grown at the same pace in 2000s as before
Growth Accounting • On average labour productivity has grown 2.9% but large variation between the countries. Labour productivity has exhibited strong growth in Czech Republic and Germany, while productivity growth has been small in Finland (due to 2007 ) or even negative in Slovenia. • Intangibles have had relatively little effect on productivity growth except for organisation capital in Germany and R&D capital in Norway.
Decomposition • Total reallocation (sum of between, entry and exit effects) account for most of the growth induced by R&D. Here the between and exit effects have stimulated R&D asset growth. Exit effects are positive also in organisation capital and ICT asset growth.

Conclusions • Valuation using instruments • Intangible capital share of Sales: 24% (FIN), 19% (NOR) 13% (GER), 28% (UK) • Organization capital from 2% of sales (GER) to 16% (UK) • MACRO and MICRO: economic competencies incl. organisational capital account for a notable share of economic competencies • Growth in intangibles • Contributed little to labour productivity growth in 2000s except • Organization capital in Germany • R&D assets in Norway • Total reallocation (esp between and exit effects) account for most of the growth induced by intangibles
Intangible capital and growth • Intangible capital substitutes tangibles as an engine for growth • Globalized firms have more of it • Promotes use of R&D and ICT personnel assets • Especially in services • Intangibles and equity valuation • Explains unaccounted part of earnings flow • Potential for use in market valuation: firm-level, industry-level
