Government consumption preprocessor

Defense

Initialize defense expenditures using SeriesGovtMil%GDPSIPRI. If null, then use SeriesGovtMil%GDP.

If null estimate using GDPPCP: TbName$ = "GDP/Capita (PPP) Versus Govt Exp Mil as % of GDP (" & CStr(BaseYear) & ") - linear"

Health

Initialize public health expenditures using SeriesGovtHl%GDP.

If null estimate using GDPPCP:  TbName$ = "GDP/Capita (PPP) Versus Govt Exp Hlth as % of GDP (" & CStr(BaseYear) & ") - log"

Initialize private health expenditures using SeriesHealthExpPriv%Tot. If no data, but there is data on total health expenditures (SeriesHealthExpTot%GDP) then set private as the difference between total and public.

If no data on total health expenditure then estimate private using:

                    'Estimate Private
                    Call AnalFunc("Private Health Expenditures % of GDP (2012)", _
                    Array(CGDPPCP(ICount%), CEDYRSAGE25T(ICount%)), cVal, _
                    Array("GDP2005PCPPP(MOSTRECENT)/ 1000 (Log)", "EdYearsAge25(MOSTRECENT) (Linear)"))

If no data on total expenditures, then it is the sum of private and public.

Education

Initialize public spending on education using SeriesGovtEdPub%GDP. If null then use:                

Call XYTABL("GDP/Capita (PPP) Versus Govt Exp Educ as % of GDP (2002) - log", _
                    Amin(40, CGDPPCP(ICount%)), GExpEd(ICount%))

Bound as 1.5% as a minimum. Set Uzbekistan to 3%.

R & D

Initialize R&D spending using SeriesR&DGovt%GDP
