Public Sector Intangibles: The SPINTAN ProjectSPINTAN
Paper by Matilde Mas on the SPINTAN Project presented in the 10th World Conference on Intellectual Capital for Communities, University Paris-Sud, June 5th and 6th 2014
This article emphasize need of risk management in any enterprise.Not knowing risk in any organization is quite dangerous and need carefull attention of the management.
This document provides an overview of several topics related to modern state power and social control, democracy and citizenship, and inequality. It begins with a discussion of Weber and Foucault's theories on the modern disciplinary state and the use of institutions like prisons, schools, and factories to instill social control and discipline. It then examines debates around democracy, citizenship, and inequality, referencing theorists like Marshall, Kristol, Piketty and others. Throughout it includes images to illustrate key concepts and quotes to highlight important arguments from theorists.

Private and Public Intangible Capital Productivity Growth and New Policy Chal...SPINTAN
This document discusses intangible capital and its importance for productivity growth. It makes three key points:
1) Intangible capital, such as research and development, human capital, and organizational investments, accounts for a significant share of economic growth, particularly when considering both private and public sector contributions.
2) Analyses that include measures of intangible capital investments find they contribute substantially to labor productivity growth, especially in knowledge-based industries and the public sector in some countries.
3) There are still policy challenges to fully embracing the implications of intangible capital for growth, but promoting core intangible investments is consistent with achieving higher productivity and living standards over the long run.
ICT and Intangible Capital: Complementary Relations and Industry Productivity...SPINTAN
This document summarizes a study that examines the relationship between information and communication technology (ICT), intangible capital, and productivity growth in European industries. The study finds that intangible investment, including non-R&D intangibles like organizational capital and training, has grown faster in services than manufacturing. It also finds that ICT intensity is higher in services while R&D intensity is higher in manufacturing. The study uses an econometric model to test for complementarities between ICT and different types of intangible capital. The results suggest ICT investment is more productive when combined with investment in intangible assets like organizational capital and training.

ICT, R&D and Non-R&D intangible capital: complementary relations and industry...SPINTAN
This document discusses a study analyzing the relationship between intangible capital (ICT, R&D, and non-R&D), their complementarity, and productivity growth across European countries and industries from 1995-2010. The main findings are: 1) Faster growing economies invested more in intangible capital like ICT and non-R&D, while slower economies relied more on tangible capital; 2) ICT, R&D, and non-R&D intangibles contributed significantly to productivity in most countries, especially in manufacturing; and 3) Non-R&D intangibles showed a strong correlation with ICT, suggesting they are important complementary policy factors for productivity.
The SPINTAN project proposes to measure public sector intangibles in the EU and other countries. It aims to 1) clarify boundaries and measurement of public intangibles, 2) build a database on public intangibles for 22 EU and other nations, 3) analyze the impact of public intangibles on innovation, well-being and growth, 4) study spillover effects to the private sector, and 5) study the impact of austerity policies. The project involves multiple work packages to achieve these goals and will provide analysis to improve policymaking.

There is a trend toward more transparency in the food industry as consumers demand to know more about how their food is produced and what ingredients are used. Research shows that most people feel food companies are not transparent enough about production practices and want more education on food production. New technologies are being developed to provide consumers with more information about the nutritional value, freshness and possible toxins in their food.
Private and Public Intangible Capital: Productivity Growth and New Policy Cha...SPINTAN
This document discusses expanding measures of intangible capital to fully account for public sector investments. It aims to:
1) Measure intangible capital in non-market sectors like education, health, public administration, and culture.
2) Analyze productivity for the total economy based on accounting for all intangible inputs.
3) Identify links between public and private intangible investments and their impacts on economic growth.
This document discusses issues related to measuring public capital from both statistical and methodological perspectives. Statistically, it is difficult to measure public capital due to differences in levels of government, distinguishing market vs. non-market industries, and defining public sector assets vs. functions. Methodologically, the main differences between public and private capital arise from the user cost expression used to value capital services. The document also examines measuring intangible public capital and notes that the SPINTAN FP7 project has funded research on these topics.
This document summarizes research on extending measures of human capital. It discusses (1) conventional measures based on the Jorgenson-Fraumeni model, (2) extending the model to include employer-provided training, which accounts for about 2% of GDP in EU countries, (3) accounting for age cohort effects as newer surveys question assumptions of contemporaneous relative wages, and (4) the need to integrate measures of health capital with human capital measures since health affects earnings, retirement, and education incentives. The research aims to develop more comprehensive satellite accounts that combine measures of health and human capital.
