Abstract: The article focuses on alternative approaches of fixed capital measurement. The official direct estimation for Czech economy is based on straight line depreciation profile. This article presents the results based on the application of geometric depreciation profile on appropriate types of assets. Alternative consumption and net stock of fixed assets are presented. The impact on GDP of such changes is evaluated. New model of perpetual inventory method is transformed to Markov chain. Such transformation leads to easy estimation of average age of fixed assets. Such estimation is suitable for asset with short average service lives. The article presents average age for machinery and equipment. All calculations focus on development between 1995 and 2010.
