Motivation: For the components of the expenditure approach to gross domestic product for the country of Botswana, cross-national sources report limited history at an annual frequency.

Response: For international consistency, we have estimated a full set of the components of GDP(E), at current and constant prices (a.k.a. nominal and real terms) and deflators, at a quarterly frequency.

Properties:

• Measurement: Millions of Botswana pula, at current prices (Mil. BWP) or constant year-2006 prices (Mil. 2006 BWP), or deflators indexed to 2006
• Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR)
• Frequency: Quarterly
• Start date: 1960Q1, 1965Q1 or 1970Q1
• Additivity: Aggregates equal the sums of components
• Geo coverage: Nation

The estimates reside in the historical catalog (Botswana » National Accounts » by Expenditure » Moody's Analytics Estimated) and include, for example:

• RNALEGDPAQ.IBWA = Gross domestic product, (Mil. BWP, SAAR)
• RNACECGAQ.IBWA  = Government consumption, (Mil. 2006 BWP, SAAR)
• RPDIIAQ.IBWA    = Deflator - Gross capital formation, (Index 2006=100, SA)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic.
