www.bea.gov Why adding IP to GDP is Important ▪ GDP, international trade, and other statistics are hard wired into economic policy, including fiscal, monetary, tax, regulatory, and trade policy. ▪ Only a small portion of the nation’s investments in intellectual property are currently included in the nation’s economic statistics. ▪ Including the impact of IP in these statistics is key to assuring that these policies – all of which affect IP – take account of the importance of IP to economic growth, productivity, and trade. 2

www.bea.gov TFP: Key to Unexplained Portion of Growth Preliminary results of BEA’s R & D Satellite Account indicate that between 1959-2004, R&D accounted for 5 percent of growth in real GDP. Between 1995-2004, R & D’s contribution rose to 7 percent If spillovers (residual unexplained portion of growth) from R&D are – as research suggests- at least as large as the direct returns, R & D may account for 1/6 of total factor productivity growth.

www.bea.gov 5 Results from BEA’s 2010 R&D Satellite Account: Treating R&D as investment would have: 1959-2007: Increased the growth rate of real GDP by.17 percentage point, a 5 percent share of growth 1995-2007: Increased the growth rate of real GDP by.23 percentage point, a 7 percent share of growth In comparison, private investment in commercial and other types of structures accounted for just over 2 percent of average real GDP growth The contribution to average real GDP growth from treating R&D as investment is larger than the contribution from private investment in computers and peripheral equipment

www.bea.gov 6 Results from BEA’s 2010 R&D Satellite Account: ▪ If spillovers (residual unexplained portion of growth) from R&D are – as research suggests- at least as large as the direct returns, R&D may account for 1/6 of TFP growth ▪ Recognition of R&D as investment would raise private fixed investment by 11.3 percent in 2007 ▪ National saving rate rises by 2.3 percentage points from 14.2 percent to 16.5 percent in 2007

www.bea.gov 7 Results from BEA’s 2010 R&D Satellite Account: Information, communication, and technology (ITC) and biotechnology-related industries account for two-thirds of the business sector’s R&D contribution to GDP growth between 1995-2007 Recognizing R&D as investment boosts the level of state GDP the most in New Mexico (9.2%) and in Maryland (6.2%), on average between 1995-2007 The value of U.S investments overseas increases by $171 billion or 0.9%, the value of foreign investments in the U.S. increases by $185 billion or 0.9%, for 2007
