Abstract

In today’s digital economy, intangible assets—such as software, R&D, branding, and organizational capital—have emerged as powerful drivers of productivity and long-term economic growth. This report investigates the growing importance of intangible investments across major economies, drawing on data from the EU KLEMS and INTANProd (EKIP) databases. It reveals that intangible capital, particularly in manufacturing, ICT, and financial services sectors, now often exceeds tangible capital in its contribution to value-added, especially in countries like the U.S., U.K., and France. (the rest omitted)
