Een belangrijke basis voor het berekenen van de CPI en de  inflatie wordt gevormd door de consumentenbestedingen. Bestedingen van (buitenlands) toeristen op ons eiland  of van inwoners van ons  eiland in het buitenland (via internet bijvorbeeld ) vallen hier per defenitie niet onder. In het kader van dit artikel wordt dan gesproken van " de lokale markt" of "de lokale economie"

The index reflects the price changes of a package of goods and services that are bought on average by all households.

Een consumptiegoed is elk tastbaar goed dat geproduceerd wordt om vervolgens door de consument, om haar noodzaak aan dit te bevredigen, geconsumeerd te worden.

De (Het) "consumptiemand(je)" of consumentenmand(je)" is een verzameling producten diensten die het bestedingspatroon van de gemiddelde consument weergeeft. Deze consumptiemand dient in principe een keer in de vijf a tien jaar volledig te worden herzien aan de hand van de gegevens over consumptieve bestedingen die verkregen worden uit het budgetonderzoek ook wel "household budget survey of HBS genoemd. Tussentijds worden, indien nodig, aanpassingen gedaan in deze representatieve, gebalanceerde consumentenmand, bijvoorbeeld als een winkel falliet gaat of een product niet meeer verkocht wordt,

Consumption is an activity in which institutional units use up goods or services. There are two quite different kinds of consumption. Intermediate consumption consists of inputs into processes of production that are used up within the accounting period.

De CPI is een maatstaf voor de gemiddelde prijs die consumenten aan goederen en diensten uitgeven voor een representatief, marktconform, gebalanceerd "consumptiemandje " ook wel "consumentenmand(je) " genoemd. de CPI wordt door het CBS maandelijks berekend op grond van circa 7000 prijzen van producten en diensten in het "consumptiemandje" die elke maand verzameld worden. Deze prijzen worden vervolgens gewogen met het aandeel dat ze hebben in de gemiddelde bestedingen van de consument.

Demography involves the statistical study of human populations. As a very general science, it can analyze any kind of dynamic living population, i.e., one that changes over time or space (see population dynamics). It encompasses the study of the size, structure, and distribution of these populations, and spatial and/or temporal changes in them in response to time, birth, migration, aging, and death.

Demo- from Ancient Greek δῆμος dēmos, means "the people" and -graphy from γράφω graphō, implies writing, description or measurement. Demographics are quantifiable characteristics of a given population.

This is the value of acquisitions less disposals of fixed assets. Fixed assets are produced assets (mostly machinery, equipment, buildings or other structures but also including some intangible assets) that are used repeatedly or continuously in production over several accounting periods (more than one year); (art.1.49).

Gross National Income (GNI) is equal to GDP less primary incomes payable to non-resident units plus primary incomes receivable from non-resident units. In other words, GNI is equal to GDP less taxes (less subsidies) on production and imports, compensation of employees and property income payable to the rest of the world plus the corresponding items receivable from the rest of the world. Thus GNI at market prices is the sum of gross primary incomes receivable by resident institutional units/sectors (art. 7.16).

The head of the household is the person who has been pointed as such by the members of the household. If the household cannot agree on this, the person on whose name the house is registered or rented is head.

The International Comparison Program (ICP) is a worldwide statistical partnership to collect comparative price data and compile detailed expenditure values of countries' gross domestic products (GDP), and to estimate purchasing power parities (PPPs) of the world's economies. Using PPPs instead of market exchange rates to convert currencies makes it possible to compare the output of economies and the welfare of their inhabitants in real terms (that is, controlling for differences in price levels). (www.worldbank.org \ ICP2011)

When the number of immigrants is larger than the number of emigrants, a positive net migration rate occurs.

When more emigrate from a country, the result is a negative net migration rate, meaning that more people are leaving than entering the area

Quasi-corporations are unincorporated enterprises that function as if they were corporations. If they function like corporations, they must keep complete sets of accounts A quasi-corporation may be:

• either an unincorporated enterprise owned by a resident institutional unit that is operated as if it were a separate corporation and whose de facto relationship to its owner is that of a corporation to its shareholders: such an enterprise must, of course, keep a complete set of accounts; or
• an unincorporated enterprise owned by a non-resident institutional unit that is deemed to be a resident institutional unit because it engages in a significant amount of production in the economic territory over a long or indefinite period of time ( art. 4.49 t/m 4/52).

An institutional unit is resident in a country when it has a center of economic interest in the economic territory of that country. It is said to have a center of economic interest when there exists some location--dwelling, place of production or other premises--within the economic territory on, or from, which it engages, and intends to continue to engage, in economic activities and transactions on a significant scale either indefinitely or over a finite but long period of time. In most cases, a long period of time may be interpreted as one year or more, although this is suggested only as a guideline and not as an inflexible rule (art.4.15).

Thus, residence is not based on nationality or legal criteria (although it may be similar to the concepts of residence used for exchange control, tax or other purposes in many countries). Some aspects of residence:

(a)   The residence of individual persons is determined by that of the household of which they form part and not by their place of work. All members of the same household have the same residence as the household itself, even though they may cross borders to work or otherwise spend periods of time abroad. If they work and reside abroad so long that they acquire a center of economic interest abroad, they cease to be members of their original households;

(b)   Unincorporated enterprises that are not quasi-corporations are not separate institutional units from their owners and, therefore, have the same residence as their owners;

(c)   Corporations and NPIs may normally be expected to have a center of economic interest in the country in which they are legally constituted and registered. Corporations may be resident in countries different from their shareholders and subsidiary corporations may be resident in different countries from their parent corporations. When a corporation, or unincorporated enterprise, maintains a branch, office or production site in another country in order to engage in a significant amount of production over a long period of time but without creating a subsidiary corporation for the purpose, the branch, office or site is considered to be a quasi-corporation (i.e., separate institutional unit) resident in the country in which it is located (see paragraphs 14.22 to 14.28 of chapter XIV);

d)   Owners of land and buildings in the economic territory of a country are deemed always to have a center of economic interest in that country, even if they do not engage in other economic activities or transactions in the country. All land and buildings are therefore owned by residents (see paragraph 14.14 of chapter XIV).(art. 4.16)

A transfer is defined as a transaction in which one institutional unit provides a good, service or asset to another unit without receiving from the latter any good, service or asset in return as counterpart. Transfers may be either current in kind or in cash or capital in kind and in cash.

In the case of a capital transfer the ownership of an asset (other than inventories) is transferred, or an asset (other than inventories) is purchased or disposed of by one or both parties to the transaction. An example of a capital transfer is an investment grant (in cash).

In practice, capital transfers tend to be large, infrequent and irregular.

Current transfers consist of all transfers that are not transfers of capital. They directly affect the level of disposable income and should influence the consumption of goods or services. Current transfers tend to be comparatively small and are made frequently and/or regularly. Both parties should classify a transfer in the same way (art. 8.27).
