Tema:
There is a growing awareness in the OECD Member countries that an increasing part of total investment in the business enterprise sector is directed towards intangible investment products such as research and experimental development (R&D), marketing, training, software, etc. Nevertheless, data on investment in intangible products, intangible investment for short, is still relatively scarce (Kaplan, 1987; OECD, 1992b).
