The Residents of An Economy: The Residents of An Economy

International Monetary Fund

No 1988/009, IMF Working Papers from International Monetary Fund

Abstract: Based on jurisdictional grounds, this paper suggests that for statistical, analytical, and policy purposes, the residents of a given economy can best be defined in terms of their presence in the territory of that economy. The paper recommends that this concept, which is underlying the definitions of general government, individuals, and enterprises in the 1968 version of the United Nations’ A System of National Accounts and the 1977 version of the International Monetary Fund’s Balance of Payments Manual, should continue to be used for measuring gross domestic and gross national product as well as international transactions.
