Abstract | The report: 1. It sets out the approach and results on innovation accounting, advancing the estimate of how much firms are spending on knowledge. 2. It sets out the approach and presents results using a growth accounting-based Innovation Index, further highlighting how much all forms of knowledge contribute to growth. 3. It provides new estimates of growth in the UK economy over the period 1990-2008, restated by adding in to the official national accounts investments in knowledge assets normally counted as intermediate input purchases by firms. Treating these inputs as investment has the effect of raising GDP levels and changing growth rates over the period. We do this for (a) the whole market sector and (b) for seven disaggregated industries. |
