  3. Chapter VIII – Conceptual Framework and Introduction

  4. Chapter VIII – Conceptual Framework - Introduction • VIII.1 Matching indicators to policy needs in countries at different levels of economic development • VIII.2 Households as economic, social and cultural units and as agents for environmental change and conservation – controllers of resources and users of services • VIII.3 Concepts of income and wealth and related indicators • VIII.4 Households and other forms of institutional units within accounting and statistical systems

  5. VIII.1 Matching indicators to policy needs in countries at different levels of economic development • The “farm income problem” of OECD countries • Poverty as a policy problem • VIII.1.1 Types of income and wealth statistics needed (IAHS as guide) • Levels, compositions, distributions, comparisons with other groups • Parallel statistics on wealth

  6. VIII.2 Households as economic, social and cultural units • The most common institutional form in agriculture • Units that both produce (agricultural and other activities) and consume • Important agents of environmental character and change • “Family farm” a politically weighty concept but not precisely defined • “Triple bottom line” must be respected

  7. VIII.3 Concepts of income and wealth and related indicators • Statistics need to be based on appropriate concepts and for these to be operationalised correctly • Wrong concepts will lead to poor information • Total income, disposable income, net worth and economic status have roles to play • Comparisons with other socio-professional groups require particular care

  8. VIII.4 Households and other forms of institutional units within accounting and statistical systems • Accounting frameworks • Aggregate (e.g. UN’s System of National Accounts – SNA93) • Microeconomic (e.g. Canberra Group recommendations, FADN/RICA) • Different definitions of terms (e.g. disposable income)

  9. VIII.4 Households and other forms of institutional units within accounting and statistical systems • Accounting basis • Activities (e.g. for agriculture in NACE, ISIC) • Institutional units (households, corporations etc.) • SNA allows for both • Complete sequence of accounts (and balance sheets) possible for accounts for households

  11. VIII.4 Households and other forms of institutional units within accounting and statistical systems • Complete sequence of accounts (and balance sheets) possible for accounts for households – balancing items include disposable income • Activity accounts well established • aggregate Economic Accounts for Agriculture • Microeconomic FADN/RICA)

  12. VIII.4 Households and other forms of institutional units within accounting and statistical systems • Accounts and income measurements for agric. households not well established • Aggregate Eurostat IAHS statistics • Microeconomic – only some countries and no harmonised methodologyNon-agricultural • Household budget surveys • Tax data

  13. VIII.5 Where we are in the provision of income indicators for agric. households • Increasing awareness that lack of (micro) income statistics (and wealth) is a gap (EU Court of Auditors report 2003, OECD) • Need to consider appropriate definitions (income, household, agricultural household etc.) and make recommendations • Need to explore what statistics are currently available • Need to explore data sources
