Concluding Remarks; ReferencesIt is generally acknowledged that the government’s output is difficult to define and its value is hard to measure. The practical solution, adopted by national accounts systems, is to equate output to input costs. However, several studies estimate significant inefficiencies in government activities (i.e., same output could be achieved with less inputs), implying that inputs are not a good approximation for outputs. If taken seriously, the next logical step is to purge from GDP the fraction of government inputs that is wasted. As differences in the quality of the public sector have a direct impact on citizens’ effective consumption of public and private goods and services, we must take them into account when computing a measure of living standards. We illustrate such a correction computing corrected per capita GDPs on the basis of two studies that estimate efficiency scores for several dimensions of government activities. We show that the correction could be significant, and rankings of living standards could be re-ordered as a result.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2012/182Cost and standard of livingEconomic developmentCivil service & public sectorimfEconomic sectorsimfEducationimfEducation: GeneralimfEnvironmental AccountsimfExpenditureimfExpenditures, PublicimfFinance, PublicimfGeneral Aggregative Models: GeneralimfHealth care spendingimfHealth economicsimfHealthimfHealth: GeneralimfMacroeconomicsimfMeasurement and Data on National Income and Product Accounts and WealthimfNational accountsimfNational Government Expenditures and HealthimfNational incomeimfPublic AdministrationimfPublic EnterprisesimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic FinanceimfPublic Sector Accounting and AuditsimfPublic sectorimfPublic-Private EnterprisesimfPublicly Provided Goods: GeneralimfSocial Security and Public PensionsimfCyprusimfCost and standard of living.Economic development.Civil service & public sectorEconomic sectorsEducationEducation: GeneralEnvironmental AccountsExpenditureExpenditures, PublicFinance, PublicGeneral Aggregative Models: GeneralHealth care spendingHealth economicsHealthHealth: GeneralMacroeconomicsMeasurement and Data on National Income and Product Accounts and WealthNational accountsNational Government Expenditures and HealthNational incomePublic AdministrationPublic EnterprisesPublic finance & taxationPublic FinancePublic Sector Accounting and AuditsPublic sectorPublic-Private EnterprisesPublicly Provided Goods: GeneralSocial Security and Public Pensions332.1/52Grigoli Francesco1127643Ley Eduardo485587DcWaIMFBOOK9910970282203321Quality of Government and Living Standards4372498UNINA
