IT’S ABOUT HOUSEHOLDS
Jennifer RibarskyHead of SectionSectoral and National AccountsOECD
Group of Experts on National Accounts MeetingGeneva, 7 -9 May 2014
Why emphasize households?
• Stiglitz, Sen, Fitoussi commission on the Measurement of Economic Performance and Social Progress– 5 out of 12 recommendations in the
report deal with household issues
• G-20 data gaps initiative– Recommendation 16: “OECD should …
link national accounts data with distributional information”
2
Work stream on distribution information
• Measuring distribution of income and consumption within a national accounts framework– OECD-Eurostat Expert Group on
Disparities in National Accounts (EG-DNA)
– OECD Informal Expert Group on Distributional Information on Household Income, Consumption, and Savings (EG-DNA2)
3
Work of EG-DNA (first group)
• Compared micro and macro data sources on household income, consumption, and wealth to better understand similarities and divergences between them.
• Allocation of national account totals to groups of households using a range of micro sources; derivation of disparity measures on income, consumption and saving, for a given year; with national estimates following an agreed template and methodology
• Eurostat « a-minima exercise » for EU27
4
Main benefits EG-DNA
• Sharing knowledge across countries and between micro and macro experts
• A better understanding of the differences between national accounts and micro survey concepts and compilation procedures
• Compilation of experimental data and disparity measures across households groups consistent with NA estimates: – three breakdowns:
household type, main source of income, income quintiles
– based on common templates and methodology

Actual final consumption by quintiles

*Difference between adjusted disposable income and actual final consumption plus the change in net equity of households in pension funds.
Savings* as a percentage of adjusted disposable income

Aggregate gross household saving rates 1993-2012
Possible reasons for negative savings
• Economic theories of consumption– Milton Friedman’s Permanent Income Hypothesis (PIH)– Modigliani and Brumberg’s Life Cycle Hypothesis (LCH)
• Statistical issues– Impact of transfers between households– Income related to the non-observed economy– Inconsistent responses (case of France)– Imperfect quintile allocation of households for
consumption components– Imputations related to owner occupied dwellings

Australia -0.1% 0.1% 0.5% 0.2% -0.2%

Unites States -2.2% 0.0% 0.2% 0.1% 0.0%
Impact of transfers between households on saving ratespositive values refer to higher saving rates after transfers were taken into account
OECD work using data on households
• Household dashboard– Make use of more timely institutional
sector accounts– Primary focus on quarterly data
• Drivers of differences between GDP and Household Adjusted Disposable Income
– Paper to be presented at OECD’s Working Party on National Accounts meeting in November 2014
13
Household dashboard
• Dashboard on household economic resources using an indicator approach
• Possible indicators to include– Real household adjusted disposable income– Compensation of employees (and possibly mixed
income) as a share of GDP– Household income redistribution-> ratio of adjusted
disposable income to primary income– Household savings rate– Household indebtedness ratio– Unemployment rate
