Production costs and outsourcing of general government
The production costs of government are public expenditures on the goods and services which government uses, primarily wages and purchases of goods and services. Government spending that does not involve a purchase – for example, social welfare, unemployment benefits and other transfers – is not a production cost. Outsourcing is the portion of government production costs which is used to buy goods and service from entities outside of government, i.e. government purchases from private companies and other agencies.
