A review of GLOBALINTO work to advance intangibles measurement (D3.6)

The purpose of this paper is to summarize work in the GLOBALINTO project on intangibles measurement, and how it has sought to further the measurement agenda. The paper describes four major contributions by the project. The first is the refinement of occupation- based measurement of intangibles based on register data, and the establishment of comprehensive databases to construct and analyze this micro data. The second is the GLOBALINTO I-O Intangibles database, which is based on an input-output concept, and uses available data from the World Input-Output Database covering 56 economic sectors of 43 countries (including all the EU-28). The third is the GLOBALINTO Intangibles Survey, which is a large scale survey conducted among seven European countries. The fourth contribution is the advancement of intangibles measurement in the public sector, which draws on an occupation-based approach for firms.
