Here are some off the top of my head:
1. COINS, COINS, COINS
* Specifically: a) what is in COINS b) how fine-grained is it c) can
we have the data ...
2. What other DBs they have similar to PESA or CRA (whether public or private)
3. Comparability over time (e.g. of CRA or PESA)
4. How they do updates to the (same) data. In particular do they
perserve old versions of discard them
5. How they get local data and what their statisticians (if anything)
do to allocate spending to particular categories and regions
6. What other countries do (e.g. France, Gerrmany, Sweden, US). In
particular how widespread are COFOG labelled spending breakdowns?
