One of the impact of the investment in intellectual capital can be seen from the increase in firm value. We may use value relevance methodology to investigate this. Based on Ohlson (1995) model MVE = a + b1BVE + b2E where MVE is market value of equity, BVE is book value of equity and E is earnings. The intellectual Capital can be extracted from BVE which is also equal to net asset. The new model will be MVE = a + b1(BVE - IC) + b2IC + b3E where IC is intellectual capital.
