Abstract
The aim of this paper was to analyze the contribution of intangible assets in the value creation of companies, using the methodology proposed by Gu and Lev (2003, 2011). The database used was collected in Datastream with information covering the period from 2001 to 2010. The main results indicate that: (i) the variables RD and SGA and RD, SGA and CAPEX represent intangibility proxies for the software and hardware sector, respectively; (ii) comprehensive value explains the market value for the two sectors; and (iii) the intangibility indices ICBV and RI and MtCV, ICM and RI present a positive and significant relationship with shareholder return for the software and hardware sector, respectively. The principal implication of the paper is having found a positive and significant relationship between comprehensive value and market value. Accordingly, if this variable really explains the market value, it is a solution to a problem that afflicts accountants, which is how to account for intangibles in the balance sheet. / El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar la contribucion de los activos intangibles en la creacion de valor de las empresas utilizando la metodologia propuesta por Gu y Lev (2003, 2011). La base de datos utilizada fue recogida en Datastream con informacion que abarca el periodo de 2001-2010. Los principales resultados indican que: (i) las variables RD y SGA y RD, SGA y CAPEX representan proxies de intangibilidad para el sector del software y hardware, respectivamente; (ii) el comprehensive value explica el valor de mercado para los dos sectores, y (iii) los indices de intangibilidad ICBV y RI y MtCV, ICM y RI presentan una relacion positiva y significativa con el rendimiento para los accionistas en el sector del software y hardware, respectivamente. La principal consecuencia de este articulo fue obtener una relacion positiva y significativa entre el comprehensive value y su valor de mercado. Si esta variable realmente explica el valor de mercado, se trata de una solucion a un problema que afecta a los contables, que es como contabilizar los activos intangibles en el balance general.
