Abstract
The article attempts to show that macroeconomic measurement of intellectual capital and its efficiency
helps to evaluate adequately the structural changes, the changing productive contribution of the intellectual
resources in different sectors, regions and countries. It looks, as a result, that the last one is insufficient to aim
purposefully the requirements of the Lisbon Agenda. Some aspects of criterial and indicators’ system used for evaluation
of intellectual resources are discussed, also the problematic directions and priority tasks for the expansion of
intellectual potential of the new Baltic States are attempted to identify.
The author suggests for the renewing system of statistical indicators for intellectual development and, in particular,
proposes to integrate some of them into national social accounts. It also remembers that social support in the EU,
e.g., of rural inhabitants, and/or to retarding areas, on the one side, substantially break the acceleration of the intellectual
resources, on the other.
Some other suggestions concerning the paradigm of economic significance of the intellectual potential, its
measurement, economic evaluation and perspective tasks for the professional competence, management experience
a/o indicators of the intellectual productivity were attempted to present in the report. The reasoning was based on the
goal-oriented rule suggesting the pragmatic orientation to achieve the Lisbon Agenda objectives by metaeconomic
trade-off between different values of social (first of all, intellectual) development.
Keywords: intellectual resources; multidimensional indicators of intellectual development; competitiveness in intellectual capital.
