Notes:
Consumption-based data are presented in terms of the consuming sector rather than the one making the expenditures. This table provides ratios of real expenditure per capita in the United States relative to those in Canada for categories of gross domestic product. The term "real expenditure" is used here to express expenditure of different countries in the same set of prices through the process of conversion with purchasing power parities. The use of the term "real" in a spatial context is analogous to its conventional use in time series, where expenditures made in different time periods are expressed in base period prices in order to measure their real growth. United States per capita expenditures in current dollars are converted to Canadian dollars by dividing them by the Fisher Purchasing Power Parities. These converted expenditures are then expressed as a ratio of Canadian expenditure per capita. The detailed categories of gross domestic product are those defined by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and Eurostat, and vary slightly from the ones usually published for Canada in the Income and Expenditure Accounts and for the United States in the National Income and Product Accounts.
