Average Income highest in Dublin Region but gap hasnarrowed

In 2000 the disposable income per person in the Southern and Eastern region was3.6% above the State average while the corresponding figure in the Border Mid-land and Western NUTS 2 region was 10.1% below the State average. The gap of13.7 points between the two regions represents a small decrease on the gap of 14.5points in 1999.

The Dublin region had the highest disposable income per person of the eight re-gional authority areas, being 16.8% above the State average in 2000. This wasslightly lower than in 1999, when it was more than 17% above the average.

The disposable income per person of the Midland region was 14.2% below theState average in 2000 and was the lowest of the eight Regional Authority Areas. In1999, the average for this region was 15.6% below the level for the State.

At county level, counties other than Dublin with high levels of disposable incomeper person were Kildare (105.2% of the State average), Limerick (102.6%),Galway (99.1%), Waterford (97.4%) and Cork (97.2%). At the lower end of thescale there were 14 counties with disposable incomes per person below 90% of theState average.

Data are provided at regional and county level. However, the county data should beregarded more as indicative information and not accurate absolute estimates.

Differences from cash income

These estimates allocate to regions and counties the various components of incomefor the household sector as compiled in the National Accounts.

Household Income includes

• Wages and salaries (including employers’ contributions to social insurance

and pension funds and imputed pension contributions by the state for its

employees)

• Income from self employment

• Transfer payments from the State; these include the imputed value of some

non-cash benefits, which accrue to households such as secondary and

university education, free drugs and free fuel and transport for the elderly.

It also includes, in conformity with the definition of income in the National Accounts,the imputed value of own farm consumption and income in kind, as well as the im-puted rent of owner occupied dwellings (i.e. the estimated rent that the occupier, as atenant, would pay if the dwelling were rented). Household income on this national ac-counting basis is therefore not the same as the cash income that accrues to privatehouseholds.

Regional GDP

(Note: GDP and GVA are the same concept i.e. they measure the value of the goodsand services (or part thereof) which are produced within a region or country. GDP isvalued at market prices and hence includes the taxes charged and excludes the valuesof subsidies provided. GVA at basic prices on the other hand excludes product taxesand includes product subsidies – see table 18).

Slower increase in output per person in Border, Midland and WesternRegion

The average output level per person in the Southern and Eastern region, as measuredby gross value added was just over 10% above the State average in 2000. The level ofGVA per person in the Southern and Eastern region increased by 85% from �14,318in 1995 to �26,535 in 2000 whereas the GVA per person in the Border Midland andWestern region increased somewhat less, i.e. by 75% (from �9,901 to �17,338) in thesame period.

The gross value added per person in the Border, Midland and Western NUTS2 regionwas 71.9% of the State average in 2000, a slight increase on the 1999 level but a de-cline from the high of 77% of the State average in 1996 (see Table 14). However,when measured against the EU average it has increased over the same period due tothe strong growth in Irish GDP relative to that of other countries and stands at 82.7%in respect of 2000 (see Table 15).

At the NUTS3 regional level, the combined Dublin and Mid East regions producedthe highest GVA per person in 2000 at 19.4% above the State average. The level ofGVA per person in this region has exceeded the State average by at least 19% in eachyear since 1995. It is more meaningful to combine the Dublin and Mid East regions asthey are affected by workers living in one region and commuting to work in the other.

The South West region had the second highest GVA per person in 2000 at 16.8%above the State average. Meanwhile the Midland and West regions continue to havethe lowest GVA per person in 2000 at 70.3% and 71.6% of the State average respec-tively.

Gross Value Added is not a measure of household income. It is a measure of thevalue of goods and services produced in a region. (See Background Notes).

Background NotesIntroduction Household incomes were first published in 2000 (Household Incomes Regions and Counties

1991-1997 – Pn 8218) and the publication included a detailed description of the methodologyused to estimate the regional values of the income components. Results in respect of 1998 and1999 which included revisions to the earlier years were published in May 2001 (Pn 9907) and Jan-uary 2002 respectively.

Regional accounts were first published in 1996 (Regional Accounts 1991 – Pn 3232). They werein respect of 1991 and a full description of the methodology used was included. A further set ofaccounts in respect of 1993 was published in 1997 with some additional methodological details.Results have been published annually since.

The estimates of agricultural incomes are mainly provided by the Agricultural statistics divisionwithin the CSO. A release on Gross Value added (GVA) in Agriculture by NUTS 2 regions is nowpublished separately, the latest release being that of 21 November 2002. The GVA in that releaseat basic prices is lower than the National Accounts estimates used here, largely due to a differenttreatment of subsidies in the two sets of accounts. The differences vary from �42m in 1995 to�162m in 2000.

Household Income

Primary Income Household Primary Income is defined for National Income purposes as follows:

Income of self employed

plus

Compensation of employees(i.e. Wages and Salaries, Benefits in kind, Employers’ social insurance contribution)

plus

Rent of dwellings(including imputed rent of owner-occupied dwellings)

plus

Net interest and dividends

The last component is a net item, which implies that payments by households of interest are de-ducted in deriving primary income.

Total Income Total income is defined as:

Primary income

plus

Social benefits

plus

Other current transfers

DisposableIncome

Disposable income is defined as follows:

Total income

minus

Current taxes on income(i.e. Income taxes, other current taxes)

minus

Social insurance contributions(i.e. Employers’, employees’, self employed, etc.)

NationalIncome

The estimates for the State for the different components of household income have already beenpublished in the National Income and Expenditure Report 2001 (NIE 2001). The other currenttransfer payments to and from households are included in this household income report on a netbasis with social benefits.

Per CapitaIncomes

The CSO publishes population estimates at regional level annually but not at county level.County populations for 1997 to 2000 have been estimated by applying the year to year changesat regional level shown in the 1997 Labour Force Survey and 1998, 1999 and 2000 (Q2) Quar-terly National Household Survey figures to the 1996 Census of Population county populationswithin each region.

StatisticalDiscrepancy

The official level of GDP is taken to be the average of the independently compiled Income andExpenditure estimates. The resulting balancing item which is half of the difference between thetwo estimates is called the Statistical Discrepancy. This must be added to the income compo-nents in Tables 5–10 to derive Total Household Income.

GDP by Region

Gross ValueAdded

Gross Value Added at basic prices is a measure of the value of the goods and services producedin a region (less the materials and services used which come from outside the region) priced atthe value which the producers received minus any taxes payable and plus any subsidies receiv-able as a consequence of their production or sale. GVA differs from household income in threemain respects. Firstly, GVA includes the total profits of companies. Company profits arising inthe State, which accrue to non-residents, are considerable. Secondly, the workforce that pro-duces the GVA in a region may not live there and may bring their incomes home to a neighbour-ing region. Thirdly, personal income includes items such as social welfare benefits and factorincomes from abroad, which are not included in GVA.

Valuation Value added is firstly calculated at factor cost, which includes all subsidies and excludes alltaxes. Conversion to a valuation at basic prices is achieved by subtracting overhead subsidiesand adding overhead taxes. Conversion to market prices is then obtained by adding producttaxes and subtracting product subsidies (see Table 18). The results in this release are based onthe ESA95 system of accounts which is now in use throughout the European Union. Results pro-vided in earlier releases (up to GDP by region 1997) were based on the ESA79 system of ac-counts. GVA is one of the principal concepts used in deciding eligibility for structural funds.

StatisticalDiscrepancy

The official level of GDP is taken to be the average of the independently compiled Income andExpenditure estimates. The resulting balancing item which is half of the difference between thetwo estimates is called the Statistical Discrepancy. This must be added to the income compo-nents in Tables19 and 22 to derive total GVA.

Revisions The results for the years 1995 to 1999 have been aligned with the most recent National Incomeand Expenditure aggregates.

Regions The regions for which the accounts have been compiled are the eight Regional AuthorityNUTS3 regions. The Mid East region (Kildare, Meath and Wicklow) and the Dublin region areaffected by a substantial proportion of their workforce living in one region and commuting towork in another. It is more meaningful to combine these two regions. The definition of the re-gions is outlined below. Figures have also been shown for the two overall NUTS2 regions i.e.Border, Midland and Western region and Southern and Eastern region.

EU Average The indices of GVA per person in relation to the EU as 100, shown in Table 15, are based on therelevant position of Ireland as given in the most recent EC Economic Data Pocket Book pub-lished by Eurostat.
