p. 5: little change from base 95 to base 2000. MethodoBase1995 describes substantial changes from base 80 to base 95
 
p.8: To be classified as assets, goods must have a role in the production activity of the buyer. Hence:
- Consumer durables are not classified as assets in the household sector (because, e.g., cars are not considered to play a role in the production activity of households). Car purchase = final consumption (but housing = asset, because households produce a housing service)
- But they are considered as assets in the corporate sector: car purchase = investment

(Remember: Three reasons why U.S. saving rate is under-estimated according to Cooper ("Living with Global Imbalances: A Contrarian View, 2005):
- Consumer durables not counted as assets
- Education expenditures not considered as investment
- R&D 

p. 9: "Le patrimoine national est défini comme la somme des actifs non financiers de l’ensemble des unités résidentes, majorée des actifs financiers détenus par les unités résidentes vis-à- vis des unités non-résidentes et diminuée des passifs (financiers) contractés par les unités résidentes auprès des unités non-résidentes. Par construction, le patrimoine national est aussi égal à la somme des valeurs nettes des secteurs résidents."

P. 18: three ways assets can be valued:
- observable market prices
- PIM to compute replacement costs for assets that have no readily available market price. NB: in French accounts, PIM uses GFCF series going back to 1846 (see Table 5 p. 30)
- Capitalization of future returns

P. 20: table that summarizes the various sources used for non-financial assets

p. 22 monuments are not valued, unless there is a transaction (ex: pyramide du Louvre)

p. 23: frontier between consumption and investment in the military is fuzzy and evolving (in 1995 base: infrastructures and equipments such as airports, ports, roads, hospitals… are counted as GFCF, but weapons are not: intermediate consumption)

p. 32: two assumptions for PIM:
- Assets' mortality follows a log-normal distribution
- Linear depreciation
>> Is that consistent with the practice in other countries?

p. 67: treatment of land purchases by foreigners

generally speaking, reevaluation is computed as residual of delta stocks minus other volume changes (see e.g. land p. 70)

p 75: who owns subsoil assets? In French: statisticians choose to attribute 100% to Gov; but Eurostat suggets to compute the value of the rent that can be attributed to the gov through taxes, and record it as a financial asset of the gov and financial liab of the corp
