Real, personal disposable income

Question

I have a question about CANSIM Table 384-0013. We have been looking for REAL personal disposable income (i.e. personal disposable income adjusted for inflation). It appears that this table has these numbers, but the footnote makes no mention of any inflationary adjustments. Could we have an assurance that these are, indeed, adjusted for inflation and if not, what multipliers should be used to do that here?

Answer

Sorry, the personal disposable income on this table is in current dollars, not real terms. We do not produce income-based estimates in real terms.

For more detail please refer to our website www.statcan.ca/nea and select "Income and expenditure accounts" from the left-hand bar. On the next page choose the link "about the income and expenditure accounts" (or go directly to
