Abstract
In this paper we explore the convenience of measuring firm’s innovation efforts by means of TFP. With this aim, we investigate the relationship between firm level total factor productivity and the Tobin’s q. Measuring Tobin’s q allows inferring the actual value of intangible assets from stock market valuation. We use a panel of companies listed on continental Europe financial markets for the period going from 1995 to 2005. The possible validation of this relationship could have important implications concerning firm’s technological innovation measurement.
