ANNOUNCEMENTS

Call for Papers for the IARIW – ESCoE Conference Measuring Intangible Assets

and Their Contributions to Growth June 24–25, 2021,

King’s College London, Uk

The International Association for Research in Income and Wealth (IARIW),

in partnership with the UK Economics Statistics Centre of Excellence (ESCoE),

is hosting a conference on the measurement of intangible investments and their

implications for growth and productivity at King’s College London, June 24–25,

2021.

Firms’ expenditure on intangible assets is now considered a crucial element in

their investment portfolio, but statistics lag behind in measuring these investments

at the firm, sector and national levels. As such, understanding the implications of

this major development in investment behaviour is constrained by a lack of reliable

data.

The main aim of the conference is to bring together academics, statisticians,

policymakers and other data users, interested in the measurement of intangibles, to

take forward an agenda for understanding the importance of these rapidly growing

investments.

Papers are invited that contribute to discussions of measurement of intangible

assets and investment in intangibles:

• At the aggregate, sector and firm level

• Inclusion in National Accounts

• Depreciation and deflators

• Spillovers and complementarities in production

• Difficulties due to globalization

• Social versus private values

• Survey methods for data collection

• Reporting standards and transparency

And to discussions of emerging intangibles:

• Public sector, including health and education

• Human Capital

• Artificial Intelligence and Data

• Management

• Networks and Platforms

• Open Source software
