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.
