ECIC 2010 - Lisbon March


In Lisbon, we present results and comparisons on intellectual capital for countries in European Congress on Intellectual Capital (ECIC 2010).

Main contributions were:


  • In economics, it is becoming increasingly necessary to consider aspects that go beyond production to measure the national wealth.

  • In the last years, researches have carried out IC models.

  • Generally speaking, differences exist with respect to the indicators used and dimensions into which intellectual capital must be divided. However, the practical results obtained by these models yield very similar conclusions. Therefore, it would be desirable to obtain an approach to a model that captures the advantages and disadvantages of each, in order to extrapolate it.

  • Results confirm that the gap of intangible capital is divergent, that is to say, that the rich countries are more prosperous in knowledge and manage this asset more efficiently.

  • Finally, in terms of visible plus non visible wealth, the comparison in per capita terms shows a map in which the great areas of world-wide development remain the same, although with greater variations in said zones. The countries with the highest level of hidden intangibles can be found in the north and centre Europe, followed by the United States and Japan.

Models compared were:


World Bank, Bontis, Yeh-Yun Lin & Edvinsson and our model.
