Book Description
This publication summarises findings from the 2009/10 Household Expenditure Survey. Findings are compared against household income, household net worth, household type and size, families with children, location, and household financial stress, and include statistics on expenditure on housing costs, fuel and power, food and non-alcoholic beverages, alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, clothing and footwear, household furnishings and equipment, household services and operation, medical care and health expenses, transport recreation, and personal care. The survey for 2009/10 has a significantly increased sample size - from 6,957 households in 2003/04 to 9,774 households in 2009/10 - and includes information for government pension and allowance recipients. The findings show the average Australian household spent $1,236 per week on goods and services in 2009/10, an increase of 38% from the previous survey, with couple family households with dependent children having a much higher average weekly expenditure on goods and services than average households.

Book Description
The Consumer Expenditure (CE) surveys are the only source of information on the complete range of consumers' expenditures and incomes in the United States, as well as the characteristics of those consumers. The CE consists of two separate surveys: (1) a national sample of households interviewed five times at three-month intervals; and (2) a separate national sample of households that complete two consecutive one-week expenditure diaries. For more than 40 years, these surveys, the responsibility of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), have been the principal source of knowledge about changing patterns of consumer spending in the U.S. population. In February 2009, BLS initiated the Gemini Project, the aim of which is to redesign the CE surveys to improve data quality through a verifiable reduction in measurement error with a particular focus on underreporting. The Gemini Project initiated a series of information-gathering meetings, conference sessions, forums, and workshops to identify appropriate strategies for improving CE data quality. As part of this effort, BLS requested the National Research Council's Committee on National Statistics (CNSTAT) to convene an expert panel to build on the Gemini Project by conducting further investigations and proposing redesign options for the CE surveys. The charge to the Panel on Redesigning the BLS Consumer Expenditure Surveys includes reviewing the output of a Gemini-convened data user needs forum and methods workshop and convening its own household survey producers workshop to obtain further input. In addition, the panel was tasked to commission options from contractors for consideration in recommending possible redesigns. The panel was further asked by BLS to create potential redesigns that would put a greater emphasis on proactive data collection to improve the measurement of consumer expenditures. Measuring What We Spend summarizes the deliberations and activities of the panel, discusses the conclusions about the uses of the CE surveys and why a redesign is needed, as well as recommendations for the future.

Book Description
A file containing unit record data from the Household expenditure survey (HES) and the Survey of income and housing (SIH). It is confidentialised and as such contains no names and addresses and the detail for some items of data has been reduced. Four individual microdata files are available: the basic files for HES and SIH are distributed on CD-ROM or can be accessed via the Remote Access Data Laboratory; the expanded files for HES and SIH are only able to be accessed via the Remote Access Data Laboratory. Subject to the limitation of sample size and the data classifications used, it is possible to manipulate the data, produce tabulations and undertake statistical analyses to individual specifications. This is a 2nd. ed. release of the HES basic and expanded CURF which includes new variables relating to the 2009-10 Fiscal incidence study. The SIH basic and expanded CURFs have not been impacted by these changes.
