The assets include machinery, buildings, inventories, investments in short-lived R&D (that is, investments whose returns last only a few years) and in long-lived R&D (whose returns last many years). Two human capital assets are included -- firm-sponsored training and household-sponsored tertiary education. The calculations incorporate parameters from both the personal and corporate tax codes. They are performed for the "top-bracket" taxpayer and for the "average production worker" and cover between 15 and 22 countries, depending on data availability.
