CHAPTER 8: Federal Policy Effects on Interstate Distribution of Incomes and Economic Activity Tables 8.3 and 8.4 allocate the impacts of Commonwealth expenditures by State (approximately, and excluding GST-based grants), according to a welfare transfer and a production effect basis respectively. This allocation reflects the assumptions detailed later in this chapter. Against the equal per capita benchmark, there are very marked variations in expenditures across States for both transfers of individual welfare and effects on production by State.

CHAPTER 8: Federal Policy Effects on Interstate Distribution of Incomes and Economic Activity Assumptions for allocating Commonwealth expenditures to determine individual welfare transfers and effects on production Expenditures are allocated on the following assumptions. • Expenditures on defence generate production effects within a State, but equal per capita welfare benefits across States. • Other expenditures on final consumption and capital will generate welfare benefits within the State, except in the Australian Capital Territory where most expenditures are for the provision of services to all States. 9 These expenditures affect production in the States where they are made. • Grants to State and local governments represent welfare transfers and effects on local production. • Subsidies to industry generate equal per capita welfare benefits across the nation, but affect production in the State in which they are made. • Personal benefit payments and grants to non-profit institutions are welfare benefits in the State where they are made. They are converted to production effects by assuming that standard proportions are spent on imports (terms of trade impacts are distributed equally per capita), locally produced and consumed services, and nationally traded manufactured goods. Source: All data sourced from the ABS State Accounts (including unpublished data), apart from the grants to Governments, which are from Commonwealth Budget Papers. Any expenditures not listed (e.g. interest) have been assumed to contribute no net welfare benefits or production effects, compared to an equal per capita allocation. 9 Expenditures above the Australian Capital Territory’s per capita share are distributed equal per capita across all States.
