Intangible Capital Formation
Definition
The process by which firms and economies accumulate intangible capital through investment in R&D, software development, training, brand building, and organisational design. Intangible capital formation is now the dominant form of business investment in advanced economies, yet it is only partially captured by national accounts and corporate balance sheets.
