About the Laboratory
The International Laboratory of Intangible-driven Economy traces its origins to a research group that has been working in the field of intellectual capital and empirical finance at the HSE-Perm for the last eight years.
By carrying out comparative empirical research that develops awareness of intellectual resources as key drivers in the new economy, the Laboratory aims to become an international research centre that focuses on the role of intangibles in creating sustainable competitive advantages.
The research team includes both leading scholars and young fellows from the HSE and partner universities in Europe and the United States.
