Industrial Innovation & Competitiveness
Intangible capital is a key driver of productivity growth, competitiveness and resilience. Unlike tangible investment such as machinery and equipment, investment in intangible assets, especially R&D, shows low sensitivity to adverse demand shocks. R&D intensive firms seem to be more resilient (higher employment) during crises and recover faster (higher productivity) afterwards. Productivity growth can contribute to decarbonisation, but in many instances productivity growth and decarbonisation lead to conflicting objectives, which needs to be addressed through policy action.
