Capital stock approximation with the perpetual inventory method: An update

Abstract

"Changes in the industry classification cause problems for computing establishment level capital stock time series based on the perpetual inventory approach. This report updates FDZ-Methodenreport 02/2010 by describing a new data set containing time-consistent series of economic lives of capital goods for the years up to 2014 that can be used to create establishment level capital stock time series with the IAB Establishment Panel and the LIAB."
