Indicser Review Paper No. 1
This report summarises first results of Work Package 2 of the INDICSER project. It presents a review of measures and data sources on intangibles, ICT use and innovation in service sectors across European countries.
A main aim of the INDICSER project is to provide indicators that are most likely to be useful in informing policy regarding growth and productivity in service sectors in the European Union. These indicators include measures of output, input and productivity growth at the industry level as well as indicators of determinants of productivity.

An important part of intangible investments is linked to service activities
