14 What might be the sources of EU disappointing performance? Warning: There is not an homogenous EU There are several potential factors - Lack of flexibility of the EU labour markets long-term uneployment; temporary employment; - Accumulation of capital during the boom years (excess capacity affecting productivity of capital) - Regulations (some of them under discussion with TTIP) - Lack of competition (roaming; collusive agreements; ) - Size and flexibility (in and out) of firms - Directive on Services in the internal market and its trasposition - Endowments of Intangible Assets o R&D o Other Intangible Assets: Organizational Capital and Training 14
15 Intangibles and Growth Empirical evidence shows a strong correlation between intangibles and LP growth (Corrado, Haskel, Jona-Lasinio and Iommi (2013)). Fernández de Guevera and Mas (2016) making use of the Spanish data disaggregated by industries. Corrado, Haskel and Jona-Lasinio (2014) also find: I. a complementary relation between ICT and intangible capital. II. significant spillovers of intangible capital. These results are not confirmed (at least not yet) for the Spanish disaggregated data. 15

21 Concluding Remarks The EU has a serious productivity problem. The gap with respect to the US has increased, specially since The Asian countries are rapidly closing the gap with the EU. In fact Taiwan has already surpassed it. All nine leading countries considered had a higher LP growth than the EU during the period at the aggregate level, and even more so in the services industries. In all 18 sectors analized, labour productivity in the US is higher than in the EU. And the gap has increased in almost (16) all of them. From the various potential explanations, we have concentrated in intangible assets endowments Total Intangible capital, as well as in three of its main components: R&D; organizational capital; and on-the-job training, the superiority of the US is overhelming both for the market and nonmarket economy. Greece, Italy and Spain are lagging behind also in all of them. 21
