Trade is not only exchange of goods, exchange of services as goods. All trade is also exchange of values and happens always both ways: When importing or exporting both parties always benefit values as spillovers.
To get a crude measure for this positive spillover strenghtening NIC we calcualte a NIC trade value = Weighted average of export/import trade partners NIC * share of trade. I.e. when you trade you benefit your trade partners values (NIC).
Comparing NIC trade values for export and import it turns out that in general NIC export value is some 5-10 % higher than NIC import value. This is a reflection of a simple fact: We import and add value and then we export. This is a basic mechanism. More intresting, however, is the question: Do we trade with high or low NIC partners? Trading with high NIC partners yield higher positive spillover effects.
Looking at the picture for UK: Spillovers are significant for UK as UK NIC trade value is well above average (and well above USA and Germany for both export and import)
Not focusing on index values, but looking at the same picture for UK but measuring NIC trade value using partners NIC impacts as the base don't radically change the picture: UK's trading partners grant UK significant NIC spillovers
To further evaluate value of NIC spillovers we compare NIC trade value to country own NIC simply by calculating NIC trade value / country NIC percentage (%) ratio. The higher this ratio is, the higher the benefits and the importance for the country: For UK importance is evident
This once more rises the question: How important is EU for UK and UK's national intangible capital, NIC, when EU is UK's biggest trading partner?
We define a NIC Tipping point as a point on a time line (future) where NIC impacts in GDP formation and growth ceases to grow, i.e. NIC impact stagnates on a certain level.
In order to estimate the existance of a tipping point (in near or far future) we calculate a NIC TP value for each driver (indicator) = annual projected increment on impact in GDP. This is performed by analysing near past and far past behavior of the driver (i.e. we perform trend analysis of drivers impact). As in SWOT analysis we acknowledge intrinsic, NIC trade value and global development related impact factors for each driver.
Finally we add together (aggregate) the net cumulating effect(s) of all drivers and come to a NIC Tipping point projection for each country. Here NIC Tipping point base projection for UK 2014:
In the base projection the Tipping point is beyond 2020, not much, but beyond. However, if a possible Brexit would have a slight negative impact on NIC trade values and spillovers the situation changes. Estimating a (moderate) 1 % negative shock would drag the NIC Tipping point for UK to the end of this decade, in the vicinity of no later than 2019 +/-.
The difference in NIC impact growth estimates: 1.06% - 0.61% = 0.45% each year! By 2030 this difference will be (an other?) 6.3%.

Intangible Capital is nowadays the main contributor of GDP and economic growth in all the developed countries. However, it seems that financial reporting is still from the industrial era and lack of comprehensive analyses of intangibles is evident.
We invite you to participate in prototyping a new service of NIC Country Reports.
