National Sample Survey (NSS) Round 66, Schedule 1 Type 2, Block 12: Summary of consumer expenditure
This block is meant to derive the value of per capita consumption expenditure for a period of 30 days. Most entries in this block are transfer entries from Blocks 5.1 to 11. References for transfer are provided in columns (3) to (5).
In Schedule Type 1, Block 12 provides for the computation of two measures of monthly per capita consumer expenditure (MPCE). One is the Uniform Reference Period (URP) measure of MPCE based on data collected with a 30-day reference period for all items. The other is the Mixed Reference Period (MRP) measure of MPCE based on data with a 365-day reference period wherever available and a 30-day reference period for other items. The two measures of MPCE are to be worked out and shown against sl. nos. 47 and 48 respectively.
In Schedule Type 2, which is a "one item, one reference period" schedule, only one measure of MPCE is possible. This will be calculated in Block 12 and shown against sl. no. 42.
Transfer entries: In Schedule Type 1, entries in Block 12 against sl. nos. 1-26, 28-33, 35-40, and 45-46 will be made by transfer from Blocks 5.1 to 11. References for transfer are provided in columns (3) to (5). In Schedule Type 2, entries in Block 12 against sl. nos. 1-6, 8-17, 20-29, 31-36, and 40-41 will be transfer entries.
Sub-totals: In Schedule Type 1, entries against sl. nos. 27, 34 and 41 are sub-totals. In Schedule Type 2, the entries against sl. nos. 7, 18, 30 and 37 are sub-totals.
Conversion entries: In Schedule Type 1, the entry against sl. no. 42 is obtained by converting the entry against sl. no. 41, a 365-day figure, to its 30-day equivalent, by multiplying by 30/365. In Schedule Type 2, the entries against sl. nos. 18 and 37, which are 7-day and 365-day figures respectively, are similarly converted to 30-day figures by multiplying by suitable factors to obtain the entries against sl. nos. 19 and 38.
Total monthly household consumer expenditure is obtained in Schedule Type 1 by adding (1) the entries against sl. nos. 27 and 34 for the URP measure and (2) the entries against sl. nos. 27 and 42 for the MRP measure. In Schedule Type 2, total monthly household consumer expenditure is obtained by adding the entries against sl. nos. 7, 19, 30 and 38.
Finally, division by household size yields the two measures of MPCE from Schedule Type 1 and the single measure of MPCE from Schedule Type 2.
