Definitions

  • Adjusted savings: consumption of fixed capital > Current US$, % of GDP: Adjusted savings: consumption of fixed capital (current US$). Consumption of fixed capital represents the replacement value of capital used up in the process of production. Figures expressed as a proportion of GDP for the same year
  • Adjusted savings: education expenditure > Current US$: Adjusted savings: education expenditure (current US$). Education expenditure refers to the current operating expenditures in education, including wages and salaries and excluding capital investments in buildings and equipment.
  • Adjusted savings: natural resources depletion > % of GNI: Adjusted savings: natural resources depletion (% of GNI). Natural resource depletion is the sum of net forest depletion, energy depletion, and mineral depletion. Net forest depletion is unit resource rents times the excess of roundwood harvest over natural growth. Energy depletion is the ratio of the value of the stock of energy resources to the remaining reserve lifetime (capped at 25 years). It covers coal, crude oil, and natural gas. Mineral depletion is the ratio of the value of the stock of mineral resources to the remaining reserve lifetime (capped at 25 years). It covers tin, gold, lead, zinc, iron, copper, nickel, silver, bauxite, and phosphate.
  • Adjusted savings: net national savings > Current US$, % of GDP: Adjusted savings: net national savings (current US$). Net national savings are equal to gross national savings less the value of consumption of fixed capital. Figures expressed as a proportion of GDP for the same year
  • Adjusted savings: particulate emission damage > Current US$ per capita: Adjusted savings: particulate emission damage (current US$).
