It also makes a preliminary assessment of the possible estimation biases in nominal GDP estimates stemming from the use of outdated national accounts base years, downwards biases with household final consumption estimates, and an overestimation of gross fixed capital formation in construction activities. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2008/239 606 $aNational income$zLatin America$xAccounting$xEvaluation 606 $aInvestments: General$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aGeneral Aggregative Models: General$2imf 606 $aInvestment$2imf 606 $aCapital$2imf 606 $aIntangible Capital$2imf 606 $aCapacity$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Consumption$2imf 606 $aSaving$2imf 606 $aWealth$2imf 606 $aUrban, Rural, and Regional Economics: Household Analysis: General$2imf 606 $aAggregate Factor Income Distribution$2imf 606 $aNational accounts$2imf 606 $aGross fixed investment$2imf 606 $aConsumption$2imf 606 $aHousehold consumption$2imf 606 $aIncome$2imf 606 $aNational income$2imf 606 $aSaving and investment$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 607 $aNicaragua$2imf 615 0$aNational income$xAccounting$xEvaluation. 615 7$aInvestments: General 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aGeneral Aggregative Models: General 615 7$aInvestment 615 7$aCapital 615 7$aIntangible Capital 615 7$aCapacity 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Consumption 615 7$aSaving 615 7$aWealth 615 7$aUrban, Rural, and Regional Economics: Household Analysis: General 615 7$aAggregate Factor Income Distribution 615 7$aNational accounts 615 7$aGross fixed investment 615 7$aConsumption 615 7$aHousehold consumption 615 7$aIncome 615 7$aNational income 615 7$aSaving and investment 615 7$aEconomics 676 $a339.3091821 700 $aRamos$b Roberto$01693104 701 $aRivas$b Lisbeth$01693105 701 $aPastor Campos$b Gonzalo$01621265 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810966203321 996 $aLatin America$94070677 997 $aUNINA
