The Capital Consumption Allowance (CCA) is the portion of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is due to depreciation. The Capital Consumption Allowance measures the amount of expenditure that a country needs to undertake in order to maintain, as opposed to grow, its productivity. The CCA can be thought of as representing the wear-and-tear on the country's physical capital, together with the investment needed to maintain the level of human capital (eg to educate the workers needed to replace retirees).
[edit] Calculation
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) equals Net Domestic Product (NDP) plus Capital Consumption Allowance plus Indirect Taxes (less subsidies; sales and excise taxes).
