Economic preprocessor

There are 72 series marked as "economic" in the "group" field that are read into the preprocessor. Most of them come from World_Development_Indicators (WDI). There are quite a few series marked as "IMF GFS 2013 BATCH PULL". There are a lot of data on the informal economy from ILO-WIEGO. Cyber data also appears to be read into DataEcon.

Initializations

Use government consumption and expenditures data to initialize SAM.

Government consumption

Government consumption (CGovCon) is initialized using SeriesGovCon%GDP.

Sum up government consumption from sectors.

CGConFromSectors = GExpDef(ICount%) + GExpEd(ICount%) + GExpRandD(ICount%) + GExpHl(ICount%) + GExpInfra(ICount%) + GExpInfraOther(ICount%)

Set CGovCon as the max of CGovCon and the CGovCon calculated as the sum of sectors. Bound between 9 and 35.

Central government expenditures

Central government expenditures (GovtExpCentral) is initialized using SeriesGovExpense%GDP.

Code says:

'   Go to total govt expenditures and filling holes when have data in order to compute local govt
'       When do not have total and therefore ability to compute local govt,
'       estimate at 2-14% of GDP (OECD gap between total and central is 14%)
'       North, Walli, Weingast p. 10 have table showing grows from 1-2% to 16%

Use SeriesGovtCalcExpendTot%GDP to initialize total government expenditures. If null, then use SeriesGovTotalOutlays%GDP

Hard code 46 in for Ireland in 2010 because of bailout.

If no data on total expenditures still, then we cannot estimate local so we use this equation:

        If IsNull(CGovTotExp) Then
            CGovExpLocal(ICount%) = 2 + 12 * Amin(20, CGDPPCP(ICount%)) / 20
        Else
            CGovExpLocal(ICount%) = AMAX(1, CGovTotExp - GovExpCentral)
        End If

        CGovExp(ICount%) = GovExpCentral + CGovExpLocal(ICount%) 'Add Central plus local to get total

Central government revenue

GovRevCen is initialized using SeriesGovtCurRev%GDP

If it's null or less than 5 then we use GDP per capita to estimate.

GovRevTot is initialized using SeriesGovtCalcRevTot%GDP - this is data from GFS

CFirmTaxR (firm tax rate) is initialized using SeriesTaxCorp%Tot

CSSWelTaxR (social security tax) is initialized using SeriesTaxSocSec%CurRev 

CIndirectTaxR is initialized using SeriesTaxGoodSer%CurRev

Household taxes (CHHTaxR) estimated as residual from firm, welfare, and indirect taxes

Transfers

CGovSSWel is initialized using SeriesGovSSWelBen%Exp

Reconciliation

'       Govcon+SSWEL=GOVEXP; give priority first to boosting Govcon, then reducing sswel, then boosting Govexp
            'i.e. protext all of govcon and boost if possible; reduce sswel as needed; reduce govexp after sswel

Pensions

CGovHHPenT is initalized using GovPenTbl

Reconcile with trade

'   Now have final CGOVCON
'   Normalize Expenditure Components to 100% - (X-M)

Split into sectors

Government consumption

'   Split Government Consumption and Investment into Sectors of Origin
'   ------------------------------------------------------------------

    For ICount% = 1 To CCount
            GMN(ICount%) = 0.1 * CGCon(ICount%) 'Manufacturing spending assumed to be 10% of conumption
            GSR(ICount%) = 0.9 * CGCon(ICount%) 'Services spending assumed to be 90% of consumption
            IMN(ICount%) = CINVEST(ICount%) * 0.5 'Manufacturing investment assumed to be 50% of investment
            ISR(ICount%) = CINVEST(ICount%) * 0.5 'Services investment assumed to be 50% of investment
    Next ICount%

Personal consumption

'   Split Personal Consumption into Sectors - Use Value Added and AMAT
'   ------------------------------------------------------------------

Use AMAT data to initalize personal consumption for agriculture, manufacturing, and services.

Adjust personal energy consumption based on world energy price and energy exports (exporters tend to consume more).

Initalize ICT personal consumption using ICTShare

Normalize with total consumption.
