Recommendation
Economists and business analysts have noted a downward trend in the size, scale and scope of companies’ investments in property, plant and equipment since 2000. Professors Nicolas Crouzet and Janice Eberly examine this anemic capital deployment in the context of higher spending on “intangible capital.” They find that this fundamental shift in many industries confers market advantages that physical capital cannot replicate. getAbstract recommends this insightful report to executives and analysts for its sharp dissection of trends in corporate investment.
