Variable | Label | Definition and measurement |
Value Added (VA) | VA = Output-Input VA = IN + HC + D + A + T + I IN = net income after tax HC = staff costs D = depreciation A = amortization T = taxes I = interests | Output refers to net revenues generated Input refers to expenses incurred excluding staff benefits. |
Relational Capital (RC) | Total net tangible assets | Capital that enables HC and SC to create added value ( |
Human Capital (HC) | All costs invested in staff | Knowledge possessed by staff. Refers to wages, salaries, bonuses, social security expenses, insurance, end-of-service benefits and any other renumeration. |
Structural Capital (SC) | SC = VA-HC | Knowledge possessed by the firm. Excludes staff costs from VA to determine the value added by structural elements |
RC Efficiency (RCE) | RCE = VA/CE | RCE coefficient describing the value-value-created by each dollar spent on capital employed |
HC Efficiency (HCE) | HCEVA/HC | HCE coefficient describing the value added generated by each dollar spent on HC |
SC Efficiency (SC) Intellectual Capital Efficiency (IC) Value-added Intellectual Coefficient VAIC | SCE = SC/VA ICE = RCE + HCE + SCE
VAIC = RCE + HCE + SCE | SCE coefficient describing the value added generated by SC. ICE coefficient describing the value created by intangible asset efficiency. Overall value-added efficiency generated by intellectual coefficient proxied by IC. A greater VAIC represents greater efficiency in IC employed, and thus greater value generated to the firm ( |
Firm Size | SIZE = (Log TA) | Firm size, to control for the effect of large and small firms on the regression model. Calculated by taking the logarithm for total net assets (TA). |
Firm Leverage | LEV = (TD/TA)
| Company indebtedness, to control for the effect of debt on the regression model. Calculated by dividing total debts (TD) by total net assets. |
Return on Assets | ROA = Net Income/Total assets | |
Return on Equity | ROE = Net Income/Total Net Equity | |
