  12. Why Differ across Countries? National Transfer Accounts

  13. Consumption • Income level matters • C on elderly is high in rich countries, and is mostly due to medical expenditures • C on children is low in low-income countries • Public vs. Private C • Richer countries have larger public consumption expenditures, on both health and education. • Data problems • CFD (durable) and CFR (housing) are not calculated in all economies • NTA methods to allocate to individuals National Transfer Accounts

  14. Labor Income • Per capita labor income profile depends on several things. • Richer countries have low LFPRs for children and elderly • Richer countries have low share of self-employment income. • Old age productivity varies across countries. • Institution (legal age of work, mandatory schooling, minimum wage, seniority-based wage system) matters. • Data problems • Measurement of self-employment income National Transfer Accounts
