Personal Consumption Expenditure by Country, Organized by Category of Expenditure               Personal Consumption expenditures available from macroeconomic models are typically aggregates. They thus are less useful both for analyzing how changing patterns of purchases by consumers at different stages of ecnomic development will impact company sales (for consumer goods manufacturers or service providers) than more detailed estimates of consumption expenditure by type.  Personal Consumption Expenditure is divided into 16 separate categories of purchases by consumers. Consumption shares vary significantly primarily due to differences in percapita income among countries in the group. Data Source: United Nations Standard National Accounts.  Forecasting Methods: Integrated system based on results from  models for personal consumption expenditure by category, government spending, intermediate demand by ISIC, and investment demand by ISIC, commodity prices, manufactured wages, employment by industry group, imports by  and exports by ISIC using an iterative process to insure partial convergence.    Applications:  Useful for consumer products companies wishing to project the future size of markets, including markets for special services.  May be useful for measuring potential of the lower-end market for personal consumption products.  Markets where the GINI coefficients show a highly skewed wealth distribution, but where the size of the mass market is huge in terms of numbers of potential consumers.  Techniques can be developed to measure the "potential" of these underserved markets using the full spectrum of data available in this database.   Metric & Classification Groups: Millions of US $s, 1995 US $s, and 1995 US $s at Purchasing Power Parity Prices Method for Filling Missing Observations: Econometric, Pooled-cross secitonal time series based on sample of data drawn from countries of similar size and stage of economic development.  Results are scaled to total personal consumption spending by country as measured using World Bank data.
