National Accounts of OECD Countries 2002, Volume I, Main Aggregates

The 2002 edition of the National Accounts of OECD countries, Volume I: Main Aggregates covers expenditure based GDP, output based GDP, income based GDP, disposable income, saving and net lending, population and employment. It includes also comparative tables based on exchange rates and comparative tables based on purchasing power parities. Data are shown for 30 OECD countries back to 1989 in most cases, expressed in national currency, but also in US dollars for gross domestic product and household final consumption expenditure back to 1978. These data are based on the System of National Accounts 1993 (1993 SNA) for a majority of countries, but not all. In this issue, the national accounts for two OECD countries (Switzerland and Turkey) are still presented on the basis of the 1968 SNA.
