Intangible assets-which include computer software, research and development (R&D), intellectual property, workforce training, and spending to raise the efficiency and brand identification of firms-comprise a subset of services, which, in turn, accounts for three-quarters of all economic activity. Increasingly, intangibles are a principal driver of the competitiveness of U.S.-based firms, economic growth, and opportunities for U.S. workers. Yet, despite these developments, many intangible assets are not reported by companies, and, in the national economic accounts, they are treated as expenses rather than investments. On June 23, 2008, a workshop was held to examine measurement of intangibles and their role in the U.S. and global economies. The workshop, summarized in the present volume, included discussions of a range of policy-relevant topics, including: what intangibles are and how they work; the variety and scale of emerging markets in intangibles; and what the government's role should be in supporting markets and promoting investment in intangibles.

Productivity growth in Japan, as in most advanced economies, has moderated. This paper finds supportive evidence for the important role of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in explaining Japan’s modest productivity growth. Results show a substantial dispersion in firm-level productivity growth across sectors and even across firms within the same sector. SMEs, on average, exhibit lower productivity growth than non-SMEs in Japan, with smaller and older SMEs showing particularly low productivity growth. Estimates suggest that boosting productivity growth in all of the worst-performing SMEs could improve overall productivity growth by up to 1.8 percentage points. The SME credit guarantee system, SME financing constraints, demographic factors, and lack of intangible capital investment are discussed as contributors to the slow productivity growth of Japan’s small and old SMEs.

"As the mining investment boom fades, Australia risks falling into the stagnation that afflicts much of the rich world. This report examines what policymakes can do so that Australia remains a dynamic, growing economy. It focuses on private sector investment, a key to growth. Investment in Australia has been exceptionally strong. Since 2005, the capital stock per person has grown by a third. Even excluding mining, capital per person has grown by more than 15 per cent. By contrast, in both the US and Uk the capital stock per person grew by just 7 per cent. Strong investment has belped to increase output per person by 10 per cent between 2005 and 2015, compared to 6 per cent in the US and 4 per cent in the UK. But Australia is now experiencing its biggest ever five-year fall in mining investment, as a share of GDP. And non-mining business investment has fallen from 12 per cent to 9 per cent of GDP, lower than at any point in the 50 years from 1960 to 2010. It is important to keep this problem in perspective. Investment in the 2000a was buoyed by rapid growth and easy finance that masked longterm structural changes in the economy. With the shift to a services economy, and with lower capital goods prices, businesses can thrive with lower levels of investment. But about a third of the fall in nonmining investment is a result of the economy growing slowly, which discourages businesses from investing. What should the Australian govenernment do to encourage investment? There are no silver bullets - only tought choices. And we need to set realistic expectations that theses choices will only produce incremental increases in investment. The Turnbull Govenment proposes a cut in company tax. It would probably attract more foreign investment. But there are trade-offs. A cut would also reduce national income for years and would hit the budget. Committing to a tax cut before the budget is on a clear path to recovery risks reducing future living standards. Alternative company tax models like accelerated depreciatin or a cash flow tax can make investment more attractive, but would cos the budget even more in the earl years. An investment allowance would be cheaper, but may be difficult to administer. Calls for tax breaks for small business should be rejected. Other policies can encourage investment. Government deficits can expand expenditure and hence invesment. But they impose costs on futute taxpayers and can reduce flexibility in a crisis. The RBA should keep interest rates low; risjs to financial stability can be managed by tightening prudential standards. Governements, state and federal, should build more infrastructure, but only if they can build better infrstructure. And of course policy to support economic growth (by reducing tax distortions, boosting labour participation, encouraging competition, improving the efficieny of land use, and tightening regulatory frameworks) would also encourage private investment. Lower growth may well be the 'new normal', and investment is likely to remain below previous peaks. There is no reason to panic. But there is also no excuse for policy complacency. Australia should prudently encourage investment through this new reality."--Page 3.

This book addresses the issue of intangibles' contribution to growth at macroeconomic and microeconomic levels. It provides a review of a set of new approaches to innovation growth. It also considers the issue of how to invest in intangibles, especially with regard to the market failure issue. The book focusses on three major themes: First it provides a better understanding of how intangibles contribute to economic growth and value creation. In a second part it presents emerging practices as well as examples of market failure, analyzing managerial practices in relationship to market imperfections. Finally the book links the value of intangibles with innovation and the performance of firms.

This book will be a useful resource for those studying or teaching the management of IP. . . a welcome addition on the reading list for all good IP management courses. Duncan Bucknell, Journal of Intellectual Property Law and Practice This book brings together innovative contributions on the management of intellectual property (IP) and intellectual property rights by an esteemed and multi-disciplinary group of economists, management scientists, accountants and lawyers. Offering a broad and enlightening picture of the measurement and management of IP, the contributors argue that the shift towards a knowledge-based economy has increased the importance of IP and more generally, intangible assets, as a focus for company decision-making behaviour. The book explores these intangible assets, which are driven by investments in R&D, marketing, education and training, management information systems and organizational structure. The inherent risk in the development of such assets born from the involvement of creativity and innovation is also discussed. The Management of Intellectual Property should prove of use to both students of management and managers in the field who have to make decisions with regard to investments in, and the protection of, IP and other intangible assets.
