IMF Video: 10th IMF Statistical Forum: Measuring the Tangible Benefits of Intangible Capital
In our increasingly dematerialized world intangible assets are transforming economies and driving growth. As a result, an increasing share of output, jobs, income and wealth is associated with firms where traditional tangible assets have been crowded out by intangible assets, such as marketing assets, data, and organizational capital. Yet macroeconomic accounting has lagged behind in valuing these forms of capital. What’s more, the mobility of intangible assets and firms’ strategies to minimize their worldwide taxes while maximizing overall profits implies growing tension between the nature and location of economic activity and its measurement system.
The 10th IMF Statistical Forum will explore how we can better measure intangible capital to better support investment policy, taxation policy and macroeconomic analysis.

World Economic Forum Video: Biodiversity as an Asset Class Ep 5: Pricing Biodiversity
With recent failures of the market economy brought into focus by the COVID-19 pandemic, how can such a system possibly cope with the unfolding crisis in biodiversity and nature? Nobel Prize laureate, Professor Joseph E. Stiglitz, from the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University, argues that nothing less than complete economic transformation can protect natural ecosystems and life on Earth as we know it.
Biodiversity as an Asset Class is a five episode series that profiles leading global thinkers on how we must reconstruct our economic system in order to protect nature and the future of life on Earth. Each episode explores topics that include removing barriers to action, the valuation of natural capital, a nature-positive business approach, and the role of philanthropic capital.
