Notes and Sources

Notes
Euro-Area Data: Euro-area countries are Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the
Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia, and Spain. Data series are break
adjusted and include all euro area countries for the full sample, with these
exceptions: Series for interest rates are not break adjusted.
Euro-area interest rates prior to December 1998 are calculated on the basis of
national government yields weighted by GDP. Starting in 1999, short-term rates
are euro interbank offered rates. Long-term rates are calculated on the basis
of national government bond yields weighted by the nominal outstanding
amounts of government bonds in each maturity band.
The euro/dollar exchange rate used in the chart on page 69 is a synthetic rate
prior to January 1999. This is constructed by calculating a weighted average of
the exchange rates of the euro-area countries, excluding Greece and Luxembourg,
against the dollar. The weights are based on 1997 GDP shares.
German Data: As a result of reunification, data for all of Germany are now
incorporated in the statistical series. The starting periods for unified German
data are listed below. Care should be exercised when interpreting the data
around these break periods.
Third quarter 1992: capacity utilization.
Capacity Utilization covers the manufacturing sector for Canada, China,
France, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States,
and the euro area; manufacturing excluding food, beverage, and tobacco for
Germany; mining and manufacturing for Italy; installed capacity utilization
for Brazil.
Consumer Price Index is for all items. The current index is based on goods
and services consumed by all individuals for Brazil, Canada, India, Mexico,
and Russia; all multi-person households excluding those mainly engaged in
agriculture, forestry, and fisheries for Japan; all households except pensioners
dependent on state pension and high income households for the United
Kingdom; all households except farming and fishing for Korea; all urban
households for the United States; all urban and rural residents for China.
Data for the euro area, France, Germany, and Italy are based on the harmonized index of consumer prices.
Current Account Balance is the sum of merchandise and service exports and
income receipts on domestic assets abroad minus the sum of merchandise and
service imports and income payments from foreign assets in the domestic
economy plus net unilateral transfers.
Earnings are based on hourly earnings in manufacturing for Canada, Germany,
the United States, and the euro area; hourly earnings in manufacturing excluding construction for France, hourly earnings in industry for Italy; hourly
earnings for Mexico, monthly earnings in manufacturing for Brazil, China,
Japan, and Russia; monthly earnings for wage earners in manufacturing for
Korea, and weekly earnings in manufacturing for the United Kingdom.
German real earnings data prior to 2007 are not strictly comparable with the
new figures: Before 2007, gross hourly earnings covered full-time wage earners
only. Since the first quarter of 2007, the data refer to the index of gross hourly
earnings (excluding extra payments) of full-time wage earners and salaried
employees.
The Exchange Rate for all countries except the United States is expressed as
units of local currency per U.S. dollar. For the United States the trade-weighted
exchange rate, TWEX, is used. This is a weighted average of the exchange
value of the U.S. dollar relative to the major international currencies—the euro,
Canadian dollar, Japanese yen, British pound, Swiss franc, Australian dollar,
and Swedish kronor. Prior to 1999, the currencies of the euro-area countries
(with the exception of Greece) are used instead of the euro.
Real Effective Exchange Rate uses normalized unit labor costs in manufacturing. The weighting scheme used to construct the rates, for all except the euro
area, is based on disaggregated data for trade among 21 industrial countries
in manufactured goods for 2005. For the euro area the weights relate to the
trade of the euro area with the other countries. The weights reflect the relative
importance of a country’s trading partners in its direct bilateral trade relations
Research Division
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

IET Supplement
and competition in third markets. Normalized unit labor costs in manufacturing
are calculated by dividing an index of actual hourly compensation per worker
by a five-year moving average index of output per man-hour.
Employment data refer to civilian employment for Canada, Germany, Italy,
Japan, Korea, Russia, and the United States; industrial employment for
France; and total employment for Brazil, the euro area, Mexico, and the
United Kingdom.
Foreign Exchange Reserve data are end of period. The dollar value of reserves
may fluctuate as a result of changes in reserve holdings and/or changes in the
value of the currencies held vis-à-vis the U.S. dollar.
Government Budget Balance is the difference between general government
current receipts and total outlays. Total outlays consist of current expenditures
and net capital expenditures. Gross Government Debt incorporates all financial
liabilities of the general government sector. The general government sector
consolidates the accounts of the central, state, local, and social security sectors.
Net Government Debt measures the gross financial liabilities of the general
government sector less the financial assets of the general government sector.
For China and India general government gross debt consists of all liabilities
that require payment or payments of interest and/or principal by the debtor to
the creditor at a date or dates in the future. This includes debt liabilities in
the form of SDRs, currency and deposits, debt securities, loans, insurance,
pensions and standardized guarantee schemes, and other accounts payable.
Industrial Production measures the change in the volume of output in the
mining, manufacturing, oil, electricity, gas, and water industries.
Long-Term Interest Rate data refer to the government bond rate. The government bond rate is a composite of yields on federal government bonds with
maturities of more than 10 years for Mexico and the United States; long-term
public and semi-public sector bonds for France; 7- to 15-year public sector
bonds for Germany; 15- to 20-year government bonds through 1990 and 10year government bonds starting in 1991 for Italy; and 10-year government bonds
for Canada, the euro area, Japan, Korea, Russia, and the United Kingdom.
Reserve Money data refer to the adjusted monetary base for Japan and the
United States; monetary base for Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Russia; and M0 for
the United Kingdom. Reserve Money is currency in circulation, deposits of
the deposit money banks, and demand deposits of other residents (with the
exception of the central government) with the monetary authority.
Adjusted Monetary Base
Japan: currency in circulation and current deposits at the Bank of Japan.
United States: the sum of currency in circulation outside Federal Reserve banks
and the U.S. Treasury, deposits of depository financial institutions at
Federal Reserve banks, and an adjustment for the effects of changes in
statutory reserve requirements on the quantity of base money held by
depositories.
Notes and Coins in Circulation
United Kingdom: After reforming the rules governing bank reserves, the
Bank of England discontinued its M0 series in May 2006 because the
data would not be comparable to previous data. IET now presents a related
series, “Notes and Coins in Circulation,” in place of M0. The Bank of
England directs interested parties to “Publication of narrow money data:
the implication of money market reform” in its Autumn 2005 Quarterly
Bulletin (http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/quarterlybulletin/
qb050304.pdf).

accounts, and institutional money market mutual funds.
M2
Canada: currency outside banks, chartered bank demand and notice deposits,
chartered bank personal term deposits, adjustments to M2 (continuity
adjustments and inter-bank demand and notice deposits).
United Kingdom: currency in circulation and sterling retail deposits with the
U.K. banks and building societies.
United States: MZM less institutional money market mutual funds plus small
denomination (less than $100,000) time deposits.
Brazil: M1 plus open market funds, short-term fixed-yield funds, short-term
financial investment funds, remunerated special deposits and bonds of the
federal government, states, and municipalities, held by the non-financial
public entities.
China: M1 plus quasi-money (time deposits and savings deposits and other
deposits).
Korea: M1 plus time and savings deposits and residents’ deposits in foreign
currency at deposit money banks.
Russia: M1 plus quasi-money (bank system deposits that cannot be directly
used for making payments and are less liquid than M1) This include time
deposits in national currency and all deposits in foreign currency.
M2 + CDs
Japan: M1 plus private deposits, public deposits less demand deposits, and
certificates of deposit.

societies.
Output Per Worker is the ratio of real GDP to employment.
Producer Price Index covers manufacturing for Canada and the United
Kingdom; and total industry for Japan and the United States. Data for the
euro area, France, Germany, and Italy are based on the harmonized index of
total industry excluding construction.
Retail Sales are based on a volume index.
Stock Exchange Index refers to all share prices except for the United
Kingdom, which excludes financial firms.
Unemployment Rate is the standardized unemployment rate. It is the percentage of the civilian labor force that is unemployed. The unemployed are all
persons of working age who are without work, readily available for work, and
actively seeking work. The standardized rate may differ from the national
unemployment rate calculations.
