This document discusses the importance of firm-specific knowledge assets, or intangible assets, in driving productivity growth. It finds that investments in intangible assets like digitized information, intellectual property, brands, and organizational capital can be as important as or even more important than investments in tangible physical capital for determining firms' productivity performance. Intangible assets appear to play a particularly important role in knowledge-intensive sectors. The document also finds heterogeneity in the links between different types of intangible assets and productivity across sectors and firms.

OECD Skills Outlook Global Launch - Skills and Global Value ChainsEduSkills OECD
Since the 1990s, the world has entered a new phase of globalisation. Information and communication technology, trade liberalisation and lower transport costs have enabled firms and countries to fragment the production process into global value chains (GVCs). Many products are now designed in one country and assembled in another country from parts manufactured in several countries. Thirty percent of the value of exports of OECD countries comes from abroad. In this new context, GVCs and skills are more closely interrelated than ever. Skills play a key role in determining countries’ comparative advantages in GVCs. A lot of the opportunities and challenges brought about by GVCs are being affected by countries’ skills.
The OECD Skills Outlook 2017 shows how countries can make the most of global value chains, socially and economically, by investing in the skills of their populations. Applying a “whole of government” approach is crucial. Countries need to develop a consistent set of skills-related policies such as education, employment protection legislation, and migration policies, in coordination with trade and innovation policies. This report presents new analyses based on the Survey of Adult Skills and the Trade in Value Added Database. It also explains what countries would need to do to specialise in technologically advanced industries.

Attaining IoT Value: How To Move from Connecting Things to Capturing InsightsSustainable Brands
Cisco estimates that the Internet of Everything (IoE) — the networked connection of people, process, data, and things — will generate $19 trillion in Value at Stake for the private and public sectors combined between 2013 and 2022. More than 42 percent of this value — $8 trillion — will come from one of IoE’s chief enablers, the Internet of Things (IoT). Defined by Cisco as “the intelligent connectivity of physical devices, driving massive gains in efficiency, business growth, and quality of life,” IoT often represents the quickest path to IoE value for private and public sector organizations.
This paper combines original and secondary research, as well as economic analysis, to provide a roadmap for maximizing value from IoT investments. It also explains why, in the worlds of IoT and IoE, the combination of edge computing/analytics and data center/cloud is essential to driving actionable insights that produce improved business outcomes.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

2. Growth in the knowledge economy
• Sustained increases in the demand and supply of skilled labour
– Technology
• New technology - skill complementarity (Goldin & Katz, 1998)
• Displacement of routine tasks (Manning & Goos, 2003; Autor, Levy, Murnane, 2003)
– Globalisation
• Tradewith labour intensive markets (Autor, Dorn, Hanson, 2013)
– Rapid expansionof higher education
• Skills matter for productivity
– Labourquality directly influences productivity
– As well as via spillovers/knowledgediffusion
• And the output of skilled labour has “investment” properties
– Intangiblesseen as the “missing input” in the knowledge economy
• Stems fromthe ICT-growth literature(O’Mahony & van Ark, 2003)
• Growing recognition of the importance of management and organisation (Black and Lynch,
2001; Basu et al, 2003; Bloomet al, 2007 )
• R&D literature
3. How much do intangibles matter?
• Macro studies have looked at intangibles in the national accounting
framework (Corrado et al, 2005; Giorgio Marrano et al, 2009; Haskel
et al, 2011)
– Economic competencies, Innovative property, Computerized information
– Treated as intermediates
– Need to be capitalised
• Magnitudes
– Evidence for the US: Corrado et al (2009) estimate around $800 billion are missing from
US GDP
– Evidence for Europe: Taking a relatively broad definition, estimates range from 7-12 per
cent of GDP over the 1990s and early 2000s (Roth and Thum, 2010)
– Evidence for the UK:
• Giorgio Marrano et al (2009) find GVA in market sectors is understated to the tune of around 6
per cent in 1970, increasing to 13 per cent by 2004.
• Haskel et al (2011) find investments in intangibles to be as important as tangibles in the 1990s
and MORE importantfrom2000 onwards.
• Dal Borgo et al (2013) analysing input-outtables suggestorganisationalinvestmentaccounts
for morethan half of UK intangible investment(mostly management & training).
4. More to learn from looking at firms’
use of intangibles
• Develop new data on firms’ knowledge assets
– Based on similar methods to those used in the recent macroeconomic
literatureon intangibles
– Providing a bottom-up approachto evaluatingpotentialmagnitudes and
patterns in intangibleinvestmentand capital
– Facilitatingnew analysis
• Study the role of knowledge assets in driving growth
– Within the unifying framework of the macroeconomic intangiblesliterature
– But at a more disaggregate level
– Within regression analysisframeworks
5. Measuring firms’ investments in intangibles
• Evaluate firms’ expenditures on intangibles:
– Using information on firms’ purchases of intangibles
– And costs of workers undertaking “intangible” tasks
– Evaluate investment share
• using common assumptions in the literature
– Capitalise investment flow (PIM)
• using depreciation rates in the literature
• Data sources:
– Annual Respondents Database
– Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings
6. Occupations involved in the
production of knowledge assets
• Digitised Information
– ICT professionals& managers
• Intellectual Property
– Natural& SocialScience professionals & managers
– Architects, Engineering professionals, Business research professionals
– Highly skilled artistic workers, designers
• Organisational Capital (Economic Competencies)
– HRM: human resources managers and directors, vocational
and industrialtrainers
– BRAND: sales, marketing, advertising & public relationsmanagers
– MANAGEMENT: chief executive and senior officials, production&
operationsdepartment managers
For related , but broader, occupational classifications of occupations involved in the production of intangibles see FP7 INNODRIVE and
