ABSTRACT

Extant literature has examined intangible assets at firm and macro-levels but lacks their comprehensive analysis at territorial level. Yet, large discrepancies exist between regions, which cannot be attributed to micro-level variations alone, or observed from a higher level of aggregation to countries. We examine regional economic implications of intangible capital focusing on different sets of regional intangible assets. We build a combined dataset at the European regional level and perform spatial regression analysis accounting for cross-region interdependence. Results indicate significant effects of intangibles and the importance of their complementary relationships for regional development. Implications for research and policy making are derived.

摘要

现有文献从企业和宏观层面考察了无形资产，但缺乏地域层面的综合分析。然而，区域之间存在巨大差异，这不能仅仅归因于微观层面的差异，也不能从更高层面的国家汇总中观察到。我们研究了无形资本对区域经济的影响，重点关注不同的区域无形资产。我们在欧洲区域层面构建了一个组合数据集，并执行空间回归分析来考虑跨区域的相互依赖性。结果表明无形资产的显着影响及其互补关系对区域发展的重要性。得出了对研究和政策制定的影响。
