美国统计局决定把＂无形资产＂纳入GDP统计范围

The US economy will officially become 3 per cent bigger in July as part of a shake-up that will see government statistics take into account 21st century components such as film royalties and spending on research and development.

Billions of dollars of intangible assets will enter the gross domestic product of the world’s largest economy in a revision aimed at capturing the changing nature of US output.

Brent Moulton, who manages the national accounts at the Bureau of Economic Analysis, told the Financial Times that the update was the biggest since computer software was added to the accounts in 1999.

“We are carrying these major changes all the way back in time – which for us means to 1929 – so we are essentially rewriting economic history,” said Mr Moulton.

这个7月，美国的GDP会暴增3%，多亏了美国统计局正式决定将＂电影，书，杂志，网上音乐下载等＂纳入GDP计算范围。

不久的将来，美国或许将把＂空气消费＂也纳入GDP的范围，所谓美国复苏就是天大的笑话，唯一的原因是美联储释放钞票的功劳The US economy will officially become 3 per cent bigger in July as part of a shake-up that will see government statistics take into account 21st century components such as film royalties and spending on research and development.
