Expanded Measures of IP in GDP J. Steven Landefeld Director 1 www.bea.gov
IP Investment in GDP Intellectual property products (new category including R&D, software and entertainment, literary and artistic originals) increased the growth rate of real GDP by .19 percentage point, a 7.6% share of growth. From 1995-2012, incorporating R&D investment increased the growth rate of real GDP by.07 percentage point, a 2.8% share of growth. Even if IP spillovers are as large as direct effects, the contribution of IP appears to explain only about half of the 1/3 of long-term share of growth accounted for by multi-factor productivity. www.bea.gov 2
IP Investment in GDP In comparison, private investment in commercial and other types of structures accounted for just over .4 percent of average real GDP growth from 1995-2012. The contribution to average real GDP growth from IP products is larger than private investment in computers and peripheral equipment. Recognition of private R&D as investment raises private fixed investment by 10 percent in 2012. www.bea.gov 3
