Consumer Expenditure Survey 1993

Statistics Norway has used periodic consumption surveys as a basis for preparing and updating the weight basis for the consumer price index. Detailed overviews of consumption in private households have also formed an important basis for the living conditions statistics, and for research on income, living conditions and e.g. effects of the tax system's use of direct and indirect taxes. The material is also so detailed that it provides an interesting basis for dietary analyses. Data can also be used for demand studies, in economic planning models or for specification of private consumption in the national accounts.

Up to and including 1973, Statistics Norway carried out consumption surveys at intervals of several years, in 1974 Statistics Norway switched to a system of annual surveys, with a somewhat smaller sample. From 1974-1976, data is published for 3 years at a time, and the annual gross sample is approximately 1,500 households, net sample 1,100-1,200 households. The aim was still to build up a detailed overview of consumption in private households, as a basis for updating the weight basis in the consumer price index. One also wants to survey consumption in different types of households. The households are classified according to characteristics such as household type, income, main employee's occupational status and age, area of residence, size of total consumption expenditure, etc. Data is organized in several parts and contains background information about the household (collected through an introductory interview that maps the household composition), detailed consumption measured in value and quantity (registered by keeping a diary, respectively for the household and individuals), the household's purchase of durable consumer goods (durable capital goods, collected at a comprehensive closing interview), consumption of self-produced goods and income and tax

Gross sample: 6,518 households for the 3-year period 1992-1994
A household has shared housing and shared meals
Net sample: 1993: 1308 households Somewhat variable for different parts of the data collection
For the 3-year period 1992-1994, the net sample is 4,032 households (Response rate 61.9%)

挪威统计统计局（Statistics Norway）以周期性消费调查为基础，编制并更新消费者价格指数（Consumer Price Index）的权重基准。私人家庭消费的详细概览，同时亦是生活状况统计、收入与生活状况研究，以及诸如税制直接税与间接税影响等相关研究的重要依据。该数据集细节详实，亦可作为膳食分析的优质研究基础，还可用于需求研究、经济规划模型构建，或是国民账户（National Accounts）中私人消费项目的设定。

1973年及此前，挪威统计统计局每隔数年开展一次消费调查；1974年起，该局改为年度调查体系，样本规模有所缩减。1974-1976年的数据以三年为周期发布，年度总样本约1500户家庭，净样本为1100-1200户。此次调整的核心目标仍是搭建私人家庭消费的详细概览，以更新消费者价格指数的权重基准，同时还需调研不同类型家庭的消费情况。调查对象家庭将按家庭类型、收入、主要就业者的职业身份与年龄、居住区域、总消费支出规模等特征进行分类。数据集分为多个部分，涵盖家庭背景信息（通过介绍性访谈收集，用于梳理家庭构成）、以价值与数量计量的详细消费数据（分别通过家庭与个人记账登记获取）、家庭耐用品（Durable Consumer Goods，即耐用资本品）购置情况（通过全面收尾访谈收集）、自产商品消费，以及收入与税收相关信息。

1992-1994三年周期的总样本为6518户家庭，其中包含合租住房并共用餐食的家庭。1993年的净样本为1308户，不同数据采集模块的样本规模存在一定波动。1992-1994三年周期的总净样本为4032户，应答率（Response Rate）为61.9%。
