"In Measuring Capital in the New Economy, Carol Corrado, John Haltiwanger, Daniel Sichel, and a host of collaborators offer new approaches for measuring capital in an economy that is increasingly dominated by high-technology capital and intangible assets. As the contributors show, these resources affect the economy in ways that are controversial and notoriously difficult to appraise." "In this detailed analysis of the problem and its solutions, the contributors study the nature of this economic challenge and provide guidance as to what factors should be included in calculations of different types of capital for economists, policymakers, and the financial and accounting communities alike."--BOOK JACKET
