Abstract

The survey on household expenditure on services and durable goods has two parts: one on household expenditure on miscellaneous services, and the other on expenditure on durable goods by households. Both are being carried out to meet the requirements of preparation of National Accounts.

One important macro-economic indicator derived from the National Accounts statistics is Private Final Consumption Expenditure (PFCE). Household expenditure on services consumed by households, which forms an important part of this, is at present estimated as a proportion of total value of production of such services. (Services which are not consumed by households are consumed as inter-industry use and hence are not a part of PFCE.) The 72nd round survey (Schedule 1.5) will give an estimate of total value of household consumption of services, which can be used to estimate the proportion of total production of services that is consumed by households. Educational and medical services are, however, excluded from the coverage of the 72nd round survey.

The second important indicator is capital formation in the economy. In the National Accounts, capital formation is estimated by distinguishing two main categories of assets, namely, construction and machinery. Durable goods that have dual use, that is, use for both consumption by households as well as for production by household enterprises (individual proprietorship and partnerships) are termed partly capital goods in national accounting. To estimate capital formation of machinery and equipment, value of acquisition of partly capital goods and parts of partly capital goods has to be estimated. This survey focuses on expenditure on durable goods which have dual use in the sense explained above. It aims to estimate the total value of acquisition of durable goods by households and the value of the durable goods (partly capital goods) which are primarily used by households for production of goods and services.
