Abstract
The article explores the issues of statistical accounting of intellectual property products (IPP) when performing calculations for the whole country under current conditions. The paper covers the influence of IPP accounting features on the assessment of indicators and characterizes the corresponding methodological problems. In particular, the growing role of globalization in economic activity, the specifics of accounting for licenses, the calculation of indicators of the national economy of Russia. The paper discusses the views of national accounts experts on the development of the IPPs accounting methodology.
The author proposes directions for improving the analysis of the increasing role of innovations in modern conditions, including using new indicators that have not been used previously. The article analyses characteristics of multinational enterprises affecting the adequacy valuation of fixed capital accumulation and balance sheets of assets and liabilities, which ultimately define the production measure of gross domestic product (GDP).
As a result of the study, the author formulated individual proposals for improving the accounting of IPP involving a wide range of ex- perts in macroeconomics, which is essential for harmonizing GDP and balance sheets reflecting cross-country flows related to goods and services, including intellectual property products and research and development amidst globalization.
This article is based on documents and materials on national accounts, globalization, accounting for intellectual property products and research and development.
