Description topics
- Expenditure approach to GDP
- The first chapter of this publication introduces the expenditure approach
of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The connection between GDP and expenditure components comes in to focus in
this chapter. The menu of this chapter shows the supply and disposition of
goods and services scheme which contains the expenditure components of
GDP.
More details data on the expenditure components could be found in de
fourth chapter: Additional details.
Data available from 1995 q1.- Total final expenditure
- The sum of the National final expenditure and the exports of goods and
services. This variable is by definition equal to the disposable final
expenditure (GDP and imports).- Gross national final expenditure
- Gross national final expenditure is the sum of the final consumption
expenditure, the gross fixed capital formation and the changes in
inventories.- Final consumption expenditure
- Final consumption expenditure consists of expenditure incurred
by resident institutional units on goods and services that are
used for the direct satisfaction of individual needs or wants or
the collective needs of members of the community. Final con-
sumption expenditure may take place on the domestic territory
or abroad.
Final consumption expenditure exists only for households, NPI
households and general government.- Consumption by households incl. NPISH
- Final consumption expenditure by households and by Non-Profit Institutions
Final consumption expenditure by households includes the fol-
lowing borderline cases:
- income in kind like accommodation, food, clothing etc.
- services of dwellings, which are occupied by the owners
themselves and without any actual rent payments. These
services are valued by applying the rents of similar dwellings.
- goods and services produced for own use, as in agriculture.
The value of these products is calculated by applying the
market prices for similar products.
- durable consumption goods such as private cars, household
appliances, furniture and clothing. However, the purchases of
dwellings by households are not seen as final consumption,
but as fixed capital formation by households.
The detailed data on consumption of households concern pri-
vate domestic consumption expenditure. This includes final con-
sumption in the Netherlands by residents and non-residents. Fi-
nal consumption by households can be calculated by deducting
from private domestic consumption expenditure the final con-
sumption by non-residents in the Netherlands (registered as ex-
ports) and adding final consumption by households in the rest of
the world (registered as imports).
Final consumption expenditure by NPI households
Final consumption expenditure by NPI households consists of all
the non-market output of this sector excluding the own account
capital formation.
- Additional details
- The additional details of some variables in the previous chapters of this
publication are being given in this chapter.- Consumption expenditure
- More specific details of the final consumption expenditure are provided
in part of the publication.
There are two classification for the consumption expenditure concept: the
expenditure classification and the acquisition classification.
The expenditure classification refers to expenditure on consumption goods.
In contrast the acquisition classification refers to the acquisition of
consumption goods and services. The difference between these concepts lies
in the treatment of certain goods and services financed by the government
or NPI households but supplied to households as social transfers in kind.
By convention, all final consumption expenditure by NPI households and
most of the final consumption expenditure by the government in the field
of education, health, social security and welfare, sport and recreation
and culture are treated as individual consumption.
I. The expenditure classification of final consumption:
This classification focuses on the expenses for consumption goods and
services. The total final consumptions is divided to sectors which
actually financed the consumption expenditures.
Classification scheme:
Total final consumption expenditure=
Consumption expenditure by households and by NPI households=
Consumption expenditure by households plus
Consumption expenditure by NPI households
Consumption expenditure by general government=
Collective consumption by general government plus
Individual consumption by general government
II. The acquisition classification of final consumption:
This classification focuses on the acquisition of consumption goods and
services. The total final consumption is divided to groups which have
acquired the consumption goods and services: individuals or the
collective.
Classification scheme:
Total final consumption expenditure=
Actual individual consumption=
Consumption expenditure by households
Consumption expenditure by NPI households
Individual consumption by general government
Actual collective consumption

households and NPI households are available from 1995 q1.- Expenditure classification
