This contribution analyzes the impact of intangible capital on labor productivity growth across countries at the aggregate and sectoral levels by employing an econometric growth-accounting approach. First, our results show that intangible capital deepening accounts for around 40 percent of labor...

We adopt a spatial econometric approach to estimate intra- and inter-industry productivity spillovers in total factor …&D spillovers as well as remainder, input-output-related linkage effects are accounted for, the latter of which we model by a … spatial regressive error process. We find that knowledge spillovers occur both horizontally and vertically, whereas remainder …
