报告内容摘要

Abstract： Intangible capital has been treated as a new determinant of economic growth in recent years. There is however very little knowledge about the channels through which intangible capital can affect economic growth in China. This paper, for the first time, provides macro-level evidence of the intangible capital effects on China’s economic growth. Furthermore, this paper shows that scientific R&D and firm-specific economic competency properties play important roles in the complementary relationship between ICT and intangible capital in Chinese regions. This evidence is consistent with the findings in previous studies of developed countries. The complementary relationship between ICT and intangible capital is robust even if other regional factors such as human resources, non-ICT physical capital and financial development priority are taken into consideration.
