•Ail annual tables are carried in millions or dollars or thousands of poreons. Thfs"proccduie is followed in preference to further rounding because many of tbe detailed esti­
mates would be distorted by such rounding and because of the inconvenience of numerous rounding discrepancies in using tbe tables. On theother band, quarterly and monthly
tables are carried in ten tits of billions since they arc in loss detail. Needless to say, tbe number of digits shows has no implication for the degree or accuracy.




National Income and Product Statistics
of the United States, 1929-46
r p H I S REPORT presents a basic revision of the esti-*■ mates of national income and national product and
their component series,1 parts of which have appeared
in preliminary form in the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSI­
NESS 2 during the past few years. The revision was
designed to accomplish three objectives: (1) to com­
plete the setting up of the whole body of national income
statistics as an interrelated and consistent system of
national economic accounting, 3 (2) to improve the sta­
tistical procedures used in estimating all the series and
to base them on the latest source data, and (3) to incor­
porate a number of changes in the basic aggregates so
as to achieve more generally useful and clear-cut defini­
tions of national income and national product. The
definitions and presentation of the statistics were worked
out in consultation with technicians from other countries
in order to promote international comparability of na­
tional income statistics. * 5

Tho revisions have been incorporated in all scries except income payments by
States. Current personal income data will be published monthly on page S-I of the
SURVEY OF CUKKENT BUSINESS. Estimates keeping the other tables up to date will
be released periodically in the SURVEY. It will not be possible to introduce tbc revi­
sions into the State data for 1940 to be published shortly. The State estimates will bo
reworked at a later date ict conformity with tbc changes introduced into the national
estimates. The present State income payment series is described In: Charles F.

five English-speaking countries are based on a common viewpoint, see I. R. N. Stone,

tries, The Economic Journal, June 1947.




The results constitute far more than a routine revision.
For in addition to statistical refinements, the data have
been cast into a theoretical mold which, we believe,
constitutes a major improvement in the structure of
national income statistics. Considerable new informa­
tion has been provided, particularly the complete ac­
counts for the major sectors of the economy and the
distribution of national income by legal form of organi­
zation. A much improved and more detailed industrial
classification has been adopted and extended back
through the estimates to the year 1929.a In general,.
the new series have been computed with better articu­
lation of detail, not only in the interest of statistical
accuracy, but to clarify the meaning and content of
the aggregates and to provide an expanded body of
data for analytical purposes.
The net effect of the changes made in the estimates
has been to raise the level of the national income and
the other basic aggregates. For the period before the
war the increases are of relatively small magnitude but
for the war period they reach sizeable proportions. To
some extent the numerical changes have resulted from
statistical revisions—that is, the incorporation of later
source data and of improved estimating procedures—but
primarily they have been due to changes in definition.
These changes are listed, and their quantitative impor­
tance shown, in a subsequent section of this report.
With respect to the estimates for recent years, it
should be recognized that the most complete and accu­
rate source materials become available only after con­
siderable lapse of time. During that interval, the De­
partment of Commerce prepares estimates for all the
component series on the basis of the partial information
available. These estimates must be subject to revision
until the basic sources can be used. For example, the
various censuses are taken only periodically and then
cannot be made available for some time after the year
the census covers, while tabulations of income tax
returns are generally not available for more than two
years after the tax year. At the present time the diffi­
culties of preparing estimates for recent years are in• See table Vui for the detailed content of this Industrial classification.

creased by the fact that no censuses of manufactures
or business were taken during the war emergencyWhile this report contains an enumeration of the
changes in national income and product that have
been made and a series of definitions of the major
aggregates and their components, it cannot deal ade­
quately with the problems involved in concepts, statis­
tical methods, and use of sources. A comprehensive
volume containing a full discussion of these matters is
in preparation and will be published as soon as possible.
We appreciate that during the last few years users of
income and product statistics have encountered diffi­
culties because the data were not conveniently assembled
or adequately described. Within the limit of available
resources, every effort is being made to correct this
situation.
In this report we begin with a brief description of the
framework of the national income accounts as a guide
to those unfamiliar with this approach. There follow
a series of definitions of the major aggregates and their
components used hi the present estimates and a descrip­
tion of the changes from our previous estimates.
The National Economy and Major Economic Sectors
National income research over the past decade and
the experience gained in using the statistics in analytical
work have broadened the scope of the field. It has
become evident that a single national income aggregate
is not applicable to all problems requiring a measure of
the income or output of the national economy, but that
alternative measures are at times better adapted to the
needs at hand. Furthermore, it has been found illumi­
nating not only to measure the various aggregates of
income and product but to develop national income and
related statistics into a system of economic accounting.



Personal consumption expenditures
Gross private domestic investment
Net foreign investment

Data for other years ia table %

In its work in the field of national income statistics,
the Department of Commerce presents the series be­
lieved to be most generally useful—national income,
national product, personal income, and disposable in­
come—arranged to show the interrelations of the various
magnitudes. As an integral part of this work, the cur­
rent income and outlay accounts for the major sectors of
the economy and a consolidated capital account are
drawn up, both because they are of interest in them­
selves and because they show the interactions of these
sectors and how the whole is derived as the sum of the
parts.
These accounts for the national economy and the
major sectors thereof are illustrated in tables I to VI by
data for the year 1939. The accounts are shown in
detail to clarify their composition and to permit the
tracing of the various flows from one account to another.
It will be apparent, however, that less detailed tables are
sufficient for most analytical problems.7
Summary National Account

Table I is the summary income and product account
for the national economy. I t is a summary account in
that the items on each side are derived from the current
transactions of businesses, consumers, and government.
Of course, in the drawing up of the national income and
product account some difficult and controversial deci­
sions must be made as to whether certain activities rep­
resent economic production or income. Government in­
terest, the services of housewives, and income from illegal
activities are examples of items we exclude from national
income and product. On the other hand, we include

various items of income in kind, such as rental value of
owner-occupied houses and banking services rendered to
persons without explicit payment.
On trie right side of the account are the consolidated
sales of the economy, adjusted for the change in inven­
tories so as to measure the market value of the goods and
services produced. On the left are the various costs in­
curred in producing the gross national product, part of
which are the earnings of the factors of production that
make up the national income. The two sides of the ac­
count must, in principle, balance exactly. Any error in
estimation prevents statistical equality, however, unless
an entry for the "statistical discrepancy" is included on
one side or the other of the account.8
The economy covered by this account, and hence by
the various income and product aggregates, is the con­
tinental United States. Thus it does not coincide with
the customs area of the Nation since territories and pos­
sessions are excluded. However, the account does not
measure the income and product of factors of production
physically located in the continental United States but
rather the income and product attributable to factors
supplied by residents of the continental United States.
Not only individuals who contribute their labor and
property to the productive process, but nonprofit insti­
tutions and governmental bodies supplying capital re■ It wilt be noticed that we have omitted an item required to make the two sides of
the account equivalent in concept. This is the financial costs of acquiring property
and issuing socorltte, to the extent that these costs are charged to capital account by
business. The item, undoubtedly ot significant magnitude In certain years, has been
neglected for lack of data,




sources are viewed as residents supplying factors of
production. Corporate enterprises are not considered
residents in this connection since corporate income does
not accrue to corporations as such, but to the holders of
their securities.
The meaning of "resident individuals" is largely selfexplanatory. Our usage of the term in national income
statistics may be more precisely formulated, however, by
reference to the following three attributes: permanent
residence, place of performing work, and location of em­
ployer. A worker is counted as a resident individual if
at least two of these attributes refer to the continental
United States. Tor example, United States Govern­
ment military and civilian personnel whose usual resi­
dence is in the United States are counted as residents,
even though they are stationed abroad. Also, foreign
border workers employed in this country by domestic
employers, as well as permanent residents of the United
States employed in this country by foreign governments
or international government organizations, are counted
as resident individuals.
Business Account

Table I I shows the income and product account for
the business sector of the economy. In essence, this
table is a consolidated profit and loss account relating to
current business operations. Consolidated sales, ad­
justed for the change in inventories, appear on one side
of the account whereas the various charges against sales
and the earnings of business appear on the other. I t is
a consolidated statement in that all intrabusiness trans-

actions on current account are netted out. On the sales
side the data are net of current purchases of goods and
services from other businesses, and on the cost side
dividends and interest originating in tbe business sector
are net of dividends and interest received by business.
The business sector of the economy covers all the
firms, organizations, and institutions which produce
goods and services for sale at a price intended at least
to approximate costs of operation. In the main, it
covers all private enterprises organized for profit, both
corporate and noncorporate) including farm operators,
independent professional practitioners, and lessors of
real property. Mutual financial institutions, coopera­
tives, nonprofit organizations serving business, and
owner-occupied houses are also classified in the business
sector, as are government enterprises with respect to
their purchases and sales on current account.
Government Account

The other sectors of the economy are the government,
the personal, and the rest of the world. In contrast to
the business sphere, for which the account is essentially
a profit and loss statement, the accounts of these sectors
are merely receipt and expenditure accounts. The re­
ceipts represent income and other revenues, rather than.
sales as in the business account. Similarly, the expendi­
tures constitute purchases for consumption and transfers




to other sectors, rather than the costs of producing for
sale (and profit) as in the business account.
The receipts and expenditures account for the govern­
ment sector of the economy is given in table III. This
account shows essentially the consolidated general gov­
ernmental operations of Federal, State, and local govern­
ments, inclusive of social insurance funds. I t incorpo­
rates also, however, the purchases of government enter­
prises on capital account, their net interest payments,
and their operating surplus or deficit.9
* To explain bow government enterprises are fitted into our economic accounting
system, three points must bo brought out: (l) the distinction between government
enterprise and general government activities; (2) the bundling ot capital outlays of
these enterprises; and (3) the treatment of their interest income and their profits and
losses,
{I) The distinction between general government and government enterprises can
be rcadDy understood even though It cannot bo drawn with theoretical precision.
Government enterprises are those agencies of government bodies whose operating costs
are at least to a substantial extent covered by the sate of goods and services, in contrast
to tbe general activities of government which are financed by tax revenues and debt
creation. Government enterprises, In other words, conduct operations essentially
commercial in character even thongh they perform them under the auspices of the
State. The Post Office and public power systems are typical examples of government
enterprises. On the other hand. State universities and public parks, where tbe fees
and admissions collected cover only a nominal part of operating costs, are part of gen­
eral government activities.
This distinction, itself, explains in part why government enterprises are classified as
businesses rather than combined entirely with general government. It is so that each
of these sectors of the economy will reflect activities as homogeneous as isfeasible,given
the diversity ol tbe real world that wo are confronted with. But more important, it
it desirable to consolidate government enterprises with business so that neither tbe
goods they purchase from private business for resale, nor the goods they sell to private
business for resale, will be counted twice in the national income and product account.

(2) Once government enterprises are classified as businesses, it is necessary to segre­
gate their current expenses tram their outlays onfixedcapita! and the changes in their
inventories. TbQ reason is, as with private business, that investment outlays cannot
be deducted from sales in obtaining net output for the accounting period hat must be
refected in the summation of the total product ol the year in question.
In the statistical accounts and tables, however, we have not combined investment
by government enterprises with gross domestic investment on private account because
we believe that the investment series is more useful analytically when restricted to
private outlays. Rather we have included them in general government expenditures.
It would be desirable, needless to say, to distinguish all government capital outlays
from current government expenditures for goods and services; but, aside from some
difficulties of defining government capital, this cannot be done adequately from the
available statistical sources.
(3) As just indicated, tbe classification of government enterprises as businesses in­
volves offsetting their operating expenses against their sales receipts, as in the customary
profit and loss statement. In our treatment, tbe resulting surplus or deficit, calculated
without allowauce lor depreciation, is then consolidated with general government
receipts and expenditures,
In order to make tbe handling of government enterprises with respect to their profits
strictly parallel with private business it would be necessary, of course, to add them to
other factor costs. Hence, they would appear in tbe national income just as the profits
or losses of private business. This procedure has often been used in national Income
accounting. We have not adopted it, as yet at least, because of tbe fact that some
transactions of these enterprises nave been noucommcrcial in character, particularly
during the war, and havo not been separated statistically. It will be recognised, more over, that even with such an improvement of the source data the rather continuous
intrusion of public policy considerations Into the operations or government enterprises
would leave some doubt as to which treatment sbould be preferred.
A corollary of the treatment of government enterprise surplus or deficit Is that their
receipts and payments of interest are combined with other government interest rather
than counted as factor costs.
In summary, am handling of the surplus, net interest, and capital outlays of government enterprises results in a consolidated government surplus or deficit which reflects
the receipts and expenditures both of general government and of government enter­
prises

Social insurance funds consist of government-ad­
ministered funds established for the benefit of individuals
in an employee status. These are tbe funds set up by
the Social Security and Railroad Retirement programs,
State health insurance funds, the retirement funds of
government employees, and military life insurance
funds. Since it is convenient for some purposes to
analyze social insurance funds separately from other
government operations, the transactions of the former
are shown separately in table 10.
F o r e i g n Account:

The net transactions on current account of the rest
of the world with domestic businesses, persons, and
governments are given in table IV. The rest of the
world covers foreign countries, territories and posses­
sions of the United States, international government
organizations, and the United States monetary gold
stock. The gold stock is included in this sector because
acquisition of gold by the monetary authorities, like the
acquisition of foreign exchange, is considered in United
States balance of payments statistics as foreign invest*
ment.

NATIONAL INCOME SUPPLEMENT TO SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

I t may seem strange at first that the "rest of the
world" is a sector of the national economy. It will be
recalled, however, that the national income and product
account relates to the income and product attributable
to factors of production supplied by residents of the
continental United States. I t is necessary to include
in an accounting of the national economy, therefore, the
earnings of United States residents received from abroad
and to exclude earnings of foreigners paid by domestic
establishments. Moreover, as the national product is
measured in terms of purchases of goods and services,
the purchases of United States production by foreigners
must be added to domestic purchases in obtaining the
national product and the purchases of foreign production
by United States producers and consumers must be
deducted. These transactions are shown on a net basis
in the rest-of-the-world account.
Personal Account

The personal income and expenditures account, shown
in table V, covers essentially the consuming public.
I t consists chiefly of individuals in their capacity as
income receivers and buyers of consumption goods, but
includes also nonprofit institutions serving individuals,
private trust funds, and private pension and welfare
funds. It should be noted that in the consolidation of
the accounts of persons, gifts and other transfers among
persons cancel out.
The entries in these four sector accounts show the
current account transactions of the economy, with the
transactions for each sector on a consolidated basis.
A logical and useful extension of this national accounting
system would be the construction of the corresponding
asset and liability accounts for each sector.
Capital A c c o u n t

The data necessaiy for so complete a structure of ac­
counts have not yet been developed.10 Consequently, it
has been possible to present a gross saving and invest­
ment account only on a consolidated basis for the econ­
omy as a whole. This is shown in table VI. The
various entries represent changes in the relevant items of
assets, liabilities, and surplus arising out of the current
production and current flow of income in the accounting
period. The account contains, of course, only such
capital account items as are made explicit in the frame­
work of our estimates. I t does not provide a complete
statement of current capital formation from some stand­
points since, as has been noted, government capital out­
lays have not been segregated from total government ex­
penditures and consumer durables are treated as current
expenditures rather than as capital investment.

sheet aspects of the national economio accounts,




July 1947

Relation of the Accounts
It may be seen that the current accounts of the sectors
and the consolidated capital account constitute an in­
ternally consistent and self-contained accounting system
for the national economy. This system shows not only
the consolidated transactions of each sector of the
economy but the relations of the transactions among the
accounts. As with any double-entry system, every item
in the accounts must appear twice, once as a debit in the
account making payment and once as a credit in the ac­
count receiving payment. For example, consumers1
purchases from business appear as a credit or sale in the
current account of business and also as a debit or pur­
chase in the current account of persons. Likewise,
business taxes are a debit or payment in the business ac­
count and a credit or receipt in the government account.
In the case of items of gross savings and investment, the
corresponding debit (credit) to each credit (debit) in the
four current accounts is to be found in the consolidated
capital account and not in the current account of some
other sector. Thus, the credit of "sales to business on
capital account" in the business account is matched by a
debit in the gross saving and investment account. Also,
undistributed profits is a debit in the business account
and a credit in the consolidated capital account.
As has been indicated, the national income and product
account (table I) is designed to summarize the transac­
tions relating to productive activity shown in the current
accounts of the four sectors of the economy and their
consolidated capital account. In order to derive this
summary account it is necessary only that the items
taken be restricted to those relating to the product of the
economy and that each item be taken once, from the ac­
count of the buyer or from that of the seller. The
process may be illustrated by showing how the national
income and the gross national product can be added up
from the five basic accounts.
The national income can be secured by adding either
the factor incomes paid out (or retained) by the sectors of
the economy or the factor incomes received (or retained)
by them. I t should be emphasized again that not all
items paid out, received, or retained by the various
sectors constitute factor income. Only items which are
part of the total factor cost of producing the national
output constitute factor income. For instance, as is ex­
plained below, u government interest payments are not
regarded as factor income in the definitions used here,
but corporate profits taxes are considered as part of cor­
porate profits in their factor cost aspect.
The national income can be secured most readily by
adding the factor incomes originating in the sectors of the
economy from the debit side of each of the current ac­
counts, as shown at the top of page 7.

These illustrations do not exhaust the combinations of
items that can be taken from the sector accounts to
secure the national income or product. Since the
accounts are interrelated and are all arithmetical equa­
tions, the possible combinations of items that can be
made are many. It may be suggested, moreover, that
the useful combinations of items are not restricted to
those that add up to national income or national product.
The Nation's Economic Budget is an interesting
arrangement of the data that has become familiar through
its use in the President's annual budget message and his
economic reports to the Congress.
Definitions of Concepts and Terms
With this summary of our general approach, we now
present a series of definitions to which our estimates of
the national income aggregates and their components
conform. The definitions are intended to give concise,
accurate descriptions of the coverage of the various
series and, at the same time, to call attention to the
principal aspects of the series which are not readily
apparent from their titles. The definition of each of
the national income aggregates should be considered in
conjunction with the definitions of its components as
the details of the latter are not repeated in the former.
The more technical aspects are brought out in the foot­
notes to the various tables.
A complete description and explanation of the series
will be presented in the comprehensive volume now in
preparation.
I. National Income Aggregates

National Income is the aggregate earnings of labor and
property which arise from the current production of goods
and services by the Nation's economy. Thus, it
measures the total factor costs of the goods and services
produced by the economy. The Nation's economy in
this context refers to the labor and property supplied
by residents of the Nation. Earnings are recorded in
the forms in which they accrue to residents of the Nation,
inclusive of taxes on those earnings. As such, they
consist of the compensation of employees, the profits of
corporate and unincorporated enterprises, net interest,
and the rental income flowing to persons..




jmyi94T

Gross National Product or Expenditure is the market
value of the output of goods and services produced by
the Nation's economy, before deduction of depreciation
charges and other allowances for business and institu­
tional consumption of durable capital goods. Other
business products used up by business in the accounting
period are excluded. The Nation's economy in this con­
text refers to the labor and property supplied by residents
of the Nation. Gross national product comprises the
purchases of goods and services by consumers and
government, gross private domestic investment, and net
foreign investment.
Net National Product or Expenditure is the market
value of the net output of goods and services produced
by the Nation's economy. All business products used
up by business in the accounting period are excluded to
avoid duplication. The Nation's economy in this con­
text refers to the labor and property supplied by residents
of the Nation. Net national product comprises the
purchases of goods and services by consumers and
government, - net private domestic investment, and net
foreign investment.
Personal Income is the current income received by
persons from all sources, inclusive of transfers from
government and business but exclusive of transfers
among persons. Not only individuals (including owners
of unincorporated enterprises), but nonprofit institutions,
private trust funds, and private pension and welfare
funds are classified as "persons." Personal income is
measured as the sum of wage and salary receipts, other
labor income, proprietors' and rental income, interest
and dividends, and transfer payments.
Disposable Income is the income remaining to persons
after deduction of personal tax and other payments to
general government.
I I . Components of National Income and Product Aggregates

A. National Income (as in table 1).
Compensation oj Employees is the income accruing^to
persons in an employee status as remuneration for their
work. Prom the employer's standpoint, it is the direct
cost of employing labor. I t is the sum of wages and
salaries and supplements to wages and salaries.
Wages and Salaries consists of the monetary remunera­
tion of employees commonly regarded as wages and
salaries, inclusive of executives' compensation, commis­
sions, tips, and bonuses, and of payments in kind which
represent income to the recipients.
Supplements to Wages and Salaries is the monetary
compensation of employees not commonly regarded as
wages and salaries. It consists of employer contributions
for social insurance, employer contributions to private
pension and welfare funds, compensation for injuries,
directors' fees, pay of the military reserve, and a few
other minor items of labor income.

July 194T

NATIONAL INCOME SUPPLEMENT' TO SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Iiwome of Unincorporated Enterprises measures the
monetary earnings and income in kind of soleproprietorships, partnerships, and producers' cooperatives from
their current business operations—other than the sup­
plementary income of individuals derived from renting
property. As with corporate profits, capital gains and
losses are excluded and no deduction is made for deple­
tion.
Inventory Valuation Adjustment measures the excess of
the value of the change in the volume of nonfarm business.
inventories, valued at average prices during the period,
over the change in the book value of nonfarm inven­
tories.13 This adjustment is required because corporate
profits and income of unincorporated enterprises are
taken inclusive of inventory profit or loss, as is customary
in business accounting, whereas only the value of the real
change in inventories is counted as current output in the
national product. No valuation adjustment is required
for farm inventories because farm income is measured
exclusive of inventory profits.
Rental Income of Persons consists of the monetary
earnings of persons from the rental of real property, ex­
cept those of persons primarily engaged in the real estate
business; the imputed net rental returns to owner-occu­
pants of nonfarm dwellings; and the royalties received
by persons from patents, copyrights, and rights to
natural resources.
Corporate Profits before Tax is the earnings of corpora­
tions organized for profit which accrue to residents of the
Nation, measured before Federal and State profit taxes,
without deduction of depletion charges and exclusive of
capital gains and losses. Profits accruing to residents
are measured by eliminating intercorporate dividends
from profits of domestic corporations and by adding the
net receipts of dividends and branch profits from abroad.
In other respects, the definition of profits is in accordance
with Federal income tax regulations.
Corporate Profits Tax Liability comprises Federal and
State taxes levied on corporate earnings. Disbursements
of tax refunds are deducted from tax liability in the year
in which the tax liability was incurred.
Net Interest measures the monetary interest and im­
puted interest accruing to the Nation's residents from
private business and from abroad, minus government
interest disbursements to corporations. Imputed interest
consists of the value of financial services received by per­
sons without explicit payment and property income
withheld by life insurance companies and mutual finan­
cial intermediaries on the account of persons. As govern­
ment interest paid to corporations appears as part of
corporate profits, it is deducted in computing net interest
to prevent its inclusion in the national income.

Savings and on National Income Produced, Conference on Research in Income, and
Wealth, vol. 1, National Bureau o[ Economic Research, 1037.

B. Gross National Product (as in table 2).
Personal Consumption Expenditures consists of the
market value of purchases of goods and services by
individuals and nonprofit institutions and the value of
food, clothing, housing, and financial services received
by them as income in kind. I t includes the rental value
of owner-occupied houses but does not include purchases
of dwellings, which are classified as capital goods.
Gross Prwate Domestic Investment consists of acquisi­
tions of newly produced capital goods by private business
and nonprofit institutions and of the value of the change
in the volume of inventories held by them. I t covers all
private new dwellings, including those acquired by
owner-occupants.
Net Foreign Investment is the net change in inter­
national assets and liabilities, including the monetary
gold stock, arising out of the current international flows
of goods and services, factor incomes, and cash gifts and
contributions. Thus it measures the excess of (1)
domestic output sold abroad over purchases of foreign
output, (2) production abroad credited to United Statesowned resources over production at home credited to
foreign-owned resources, and (3) cash gifts and contribu­
tions received from abroad over cash gif,ts and contribu­
tions to foreigners. The net transfer of cash gifts and
contributions offsets corresponding entries in personal
consumption expenditures and government purchases of
goods and services.
Government Purchases of Goods and Services measures
purchases of goods and services by government bodies,
exclusive of acquisitions of land and used depreciable
assets and of current outlays of government enterprises.
I t consists of general government expenditures for com­
pensation of employees, purchases from business (net of
sales by government of consumption goods and ma­
terials), net government purchases from abroad and
international contributions, and the gross investment of
government enterprises. Therefore, government pur­
chases of goods and services excludes transfer payments,
government interest, and subsidies, as well as loans and
other financial transfers outside the scope of income and
product transactions.
C. Personal Income and Disposition of Income (as in
table 3).
Wage and Salary Receipts is equal to wages and salaries
less employee contributions for social insurance, except
that retroactive wages are counted when paid rather
than when earned.
Proprietors' and Rental Income is the Bum of income
of unincorporated enterprises and inventory valuation
adjustment and rental income of persons as given in the
components of national income.
Personal Interest Income measures the monetary inter­
est and the imputed interest accruing to individuals and
nonprofit institutions. Imputed interest consists of the
value of financial services received by persons without

10

NATIONAL INCOME SUPPLEMENT TO SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

explicit payment and property income withheld by life
insurance companies and mutual financial intermediaries
on the account of persons.
Transfer Payments consists of monetary income re­
ceipts of individuals from government and business
(other than government interest) for which no services
are rendered currently, of government payments and
corporate gifts to nonprofit institutions, and of indivi­
duals' bad debts to business.
Personal Tax and Nontax Payments consists of the
taxes levied against individuals, their income, and their
property that are not deductible as expenses of business
operations, and of other general government revenues
from individuals in their personal capacity. I t includes
payments for such specific services as are provided
within the framework of general government activity.
I t excludes, however, purchases from government enter­
prises. Tax refunds are deducted from payments at the
time of refund.
Personal Consumption Expenditures is the same as in
gross national product.
Personal Saving is the excess of personal income over
personal consumption expenditures and taxes and other
payments to general government. I t consists of the
current saving of individuals (including owners of unin­
corporated businesses), nonprofit institutions, and private
pension, welfare, and trust funds. Personal saving may
be in such forms as changes in cash and deposits, security
holdings, indebtedness, and reserves of life insurance
companies and mutual savings institutions, the net in­
vestment of unincorporated enterprises, and the acquisi­
tion of real property net of depreciation.
D. Reconciliation Items Between National Income and
Gross National Product (as in table 4).
Depreciation Charges represents the charges made by
private business against receipts for the current consump­
tion of durable capital goods and comparable allowances
for nonprofit institutions. I t includes depreciation
charges against owner-occupied houses. Depreciation
reported by business is not adjusted for changes in the
replacement value of capital goods, except for farm enter­
prises.
Accidental Damage to Fixed Capital measures the value
of the physical losses by fire, natural events, and other
accidents to fixed capital of private business, not covered
by depreciation charges.
Capital Outlays Charged to Current Expense represents
the purchases of new durable capital goods included in
gross private domestic investment that are charged as cur­
rent expense by business rather than entered on capital
account.
Indirect Bv&iness Tax and Nontax Liability consists
of tax liabilities incurred by businesses, except corporate
income taxes, and other general government revenues
from business. I t includes all sales taxes. It includes




payments for such specific services as are provided within
the framework of general government activity. I t ex­
cludes, however, purchases from government enter­
prises. Government receipts from the sale of surplus
property are not included in this item. Tax liabilities
are net of refunds.
Subsidies Minus Current Surplus of Government Enter­
prises:
Subsidies are the monetary aids provided by govern­
ment to private business.
Current surplus of government enterprises represents
the excess of sales receipts over current operating costs
of government enterprises. In the calculation of the
eurrent surplus, no deduction is made for charges to
depreciation or other reserves and interest is not
counted in either receipts or costs.
Subsidies and current surplus are shown as a single
item because of the difficulties involved in segregating
subsidies paid through Federal Government enter­
prises from other expenditures of these enterprises.
Statistical Discrepancy is the excess of the value of the
estimated gross national product computed by the final
products method over its independently estimated value
computed by adding necessary conceptual adjustments
to the national income.
Terminology Used
Before discussion of the changes from our previous
estimates that are implicit in the definitions just given,
a few comments on terminology seem appropriate.
While the term "national income statistics" has come
to be used to designate the entire field of statistics em­
bracing value measures of the income and product of the
economy, "national income" is also widely used as the
title of a specific statistical series. We have followed
this practice and utilized "national income" to designate
total factor costs of current output.
I t will be noted that we use the terms "national in­
come" and "net national product" to designate the cur­
rent production of the economy at factor cost and at
market value, respectively,14 Some technicians prefer
to use the single term "national income" but to modify
it by the phrases "at factor cost" and "at market value"
to distinguish between what we call national income and
net national product. We prefer our terminology be­
cause we have found that the nontechnician more readily
distinguishes the two concepts by visualizing the na­
tional income as a summation of factor incomes and the
national product as a summation of goods and services
produced.
As to gross national product or expenditure, this term
is used to designate the market value of current output
before deduction of allowance's for capital consumption.
While the gross national product is a somewhat arbitrary

measure from a theoretical standpoint, depending as it
does upon what categories of goods one chooses to call
durable capital, it has the advantage of being more pre­
cise statistically than the net national product. The
latter is theoretically preferable when defined as the
amount of production that could be consumed without
impairing the stock of capital. It suffers, however,
from the serious obstacle that there is no satisfactory
operational definition of the consumption of fixed
capital,'" We measure eapital consumption charges
merely in a way required to reconcile the income and
product sides of the national income and product
account. The estimates of depreciation charges used
are, in the main, business allowances for depreciation
for tax purposes. Li the light of the basic general
difficulty of measuring capital consumption, accounting
depreciation charges have not been revalued to reflect
changes in the current prices of capital goods, though
such revaluation is indicated on conceptual grounds.
The net national product has been incorporated into
the definitions and illustrative tables of the report pri­
marily to help clarify the nature of the concepts of na­
tional income and gross national product. We do not
intend to feature the net national product regularly in
summary public releases because the addition of one
more series to the other basic aggregates would probably
be more confusing than helpful to those who are inter­
ested primarily in following broad changes in economic
conditions. All the data for its computation will be
available to technicians who may prefer the concept for
certain analytical work.
Another matter of terminology that should be noted
is that the name of the series "income payments to
individuals" has been changed to "personal income."
The main reason for this change is that the latter term
seems more appropriate for an aggregate that includes,
as previously, such items as income in kind, income of
proprietors, and rental income to which no explicit cash
payments correspond. Unfortunately, we have not
been able to find a descriptive title for the series which at
the same time would draw attention to another of its
characteristics, namely, that it covers nonprofit institu­
tions and private pension, welfare, and trust funds as
well as individuals proper.
For the convenience of those who want an income
total that is closer to a cash basis, the major items of
income and expenditure in kind that are included in
personal income and personal consumption expenditures
are shown in table 39.
In connection with the data on personal income, we
call attention to the fact that the monthly series and its
components will henceforth be issued in the form of
seasonally adjusted annual rates rather than as index

Consumption and Adjustment, National Bureau of Economic Research, 1938. See

numbers.18 The use of annual rates of income has a
great advantage over indexes in that the components of
income for each month add to the income total and in
that the monthly series are more easily compared with
annual data. In addition, this technique eliminates the
need for base periods which seem inevitably to gather an
aura of normality. The unadjusted data on personal
income will be issued quarterly rather than monthly.
Changes in Content of National Income Aggregates
As stated earlier, the content of the national income
and product aggregates in this report differs in several
respects from the estimates previously issued by the
Department of Commerce. The conceptual changes
which should be taken into account in weighing the mean­
ing of the various aggregates are the following:
1. Interest payments on government debt have been
eliminated from the national income and product.
This change is designed to make the aggregates conform
better to the commonly accepted idea of current produc­
tion. As the bulk of government debt was created to
finance wars and current expenditures, most writers in
the national income field believe that interest on such
debt does not represent currently produced goods and
services or the current use of economic resources. For
example, it seems sensible that a comparison of the pre­
war and postwar volume of production should not be
distorted by the continuing interest on the national debt
that arose during the war.
Some measure of the current services of durable capital
used by public authorities (and, indeed, of consumers'
durables, in addition to housing) might be included in
national income and product for some purposes. I t is
highly questionable, however, that interest paid on the
debt incurred to acquire government capital would pro­
vide an appropriate measure of such imputed income and
product*
2. Imputed net rent on owner-occupied dwellings has
been added to national income and product and to per­
sonal income. It is generally agreed that this change
should be made to provide comparable treatment between
rented and owner-occupied housing.
As a corollary to the inclusion of imputed net rent,
depreciation and taxes on owner-occupied dwellings have
been- added to the consumer expenditure component of
the gross national product.
3. Corporate profits before taxes have been included
in the national income rather than profits after taxes.
This change has been made so that the national income
will more accurately reflect factor costs of current pro­
duction, which is the basic idea used in defining national
income. It means that all factor incomes are now in­
cluded in the national income before taxes levied on
income.
ii The revised monthly series for the period 1929-4G on this basis are presented in table
48.

12

NATIONAL INCOME SUPPLEMENT TO SURVEY OF CUKRENT BUSINESS

The rationale for the inclusion of corporate profits
before taxes must rest ultimately, of course, on the
incidence of taxes on profits. Although this question
probably cannot be settled definitively, the weight of
theoretical and statistical evidence is that changes in
corporate profit tax rates affect profits after taxes more
significantly than prices of output. Certainly, the high
proportion of profits taken in taxes during the war period
meant a substantial reduction in the income accruing to
stockholders. In addition, the carry-back and carry­
forward provisions of the corporate tax law make each
year's taxes partly dependent upon events in other years.
This introduces an increasingly arbitrary element into
profits after taxes, and virtually necessitates the use of
profits before taxes in any measure, like national income,
that relates to current production.
I t should be emphasized that t h e inclusion of profits
taxes in the national income in no way implies that they
directly benefit stockholders. This applies, of course,
to taxes levied on all the distributive shares of national
income—they cannot be used directly as measures of
benefits to the recipients of those shares.
4. National income has been computed without deduc­
tion of allowances for depletion. This change affects
both corporate profits and unincorporated business
income. It is required because the value of new dis­
coveries of natural resources is not counted as part of
gross capital formation, or of profits in the year of dis­
covery, and consequently deduction of a capital con­
sumption charge for impairment of the stock of natural
resources would be inappropriate.
5. The inventory valuation adjustment has been
incorporated into the national income in order to secure
conceptual comparability with the national product.
We have hesitated until now to make this change be­
cause of the difficulty of preparing adequate estimates—
particularly on an industry basis. While this difficulty
still remains, we have thoroughly reworked the estimates
industry by industry and now feel that whatever statis­
tical inaccuracies remain are a lesser evil than the con­
tinued conceptual inconsistency of excluding the adjust­
ment .from the national income. It will be noted that
we have presented the data so that the user, according
to his needs or preference, can readily pbtain profit
estimates either with or without this adjustment.
6. National income and product have been revised to
include income in kind received by the armed forces, the
Government's contribution to military life insurance
funds, and the Government's contribution to family
allowances to dependents of enlisted personnel. Income
in kind comprises the value of food consumed by the
armed forces and of issues of personal clothing. The
purpose of these changes is to make the measurement of
military income conform more closely to the measure­
ment of income for civilian labor."
" Bonuses and other deferred payments (c. g., mustorlng-out pay, adjusted service
compensation, and payments under the Ot bill) ore in many respects similar to Items




Personal income has been revised to include military
income in kind in conformity with the change in national
income. Benefit payments from mihtary life insurance
funds have been added to personal income and premiums
paid to the funds deducted. These changes follow from
the fact that military life insurance funds are now classi­
fied as social insurance funds, whereas in the former in­
come payments series they were handled like private life
insurance. No change was required in respect to the
Government's contribution to family allowances, as this
item was included as a transfer payment in our previous
income payments series.
One other change, of minor importance, might be
noted here. Military retirement pay, formerly counted
as a supplement to wages and salaries, has been classified
as a transfer payment. I t is, therefore, no longer in­
cluded in the national income and national product. I t
seemed desirable to include this item in the broad
category of military pension, disability, and retirement
payments.
7. Government subsidies paid to private enterprises
have been eliminated from the national product. This
change has been made so that the national product will
consistently1 measure the purchases of goods and services
valued at their market prices. With this definition of
national product, the inclusion of subsidies would in­
volve the artificial assumption that the Government, in
paying a subsidy, is in effect purchasing goods or services.
8. The value of the services of banks and other finan­
cial intermediaries rendered to persons without the
assessment of specific charges are regarded as imputed
interest (income in kind) accruing to persons.18 This
item is included in the national income and product and
in personal income both because it represents a real
element of income and product in the national economy
and because it permits a sensible solution to the problem
of allocating the national income by industries. While
alternatives from the latter standpoint are possible, we
believe the imputation of interest to the depositors of
banks conforms most closely with economic reality.19
Formerly the expedient used in this connection was
to assume that all long-term interest originating in the
economy, except government interest received by nonfinancial corporations, accrued to persons and that shortterm interest accurately reflected inter-business interest
payments. These assumptions have been abandoned in
included in the national income, bat since the timing ot the payment is not synchro­
nized with the performance of military duty It seemed best to handle them as transfer
payments.
'* It should be noted that not all "imputed interest" shown in table 37 is of this nature.
Much of it represents interestreceivedby life insurance companies and mutual finan­
cial institutions in behalf of individuals but not paid out to them as cash interest in the
current period,

favor of actual measurement of both monetary interest
flows and imputed interest arising in financial inter­
mediaries.
9. Employer contributions to private pension and
welfare plans have been substituted for benefit payments
under such plans in national income and personal income.
These plans have grown so greatly during the past five
years that the previous assumption that benefit pay­
ments and contributions are roughly the same magni­
tude has become artificial. Thus, the change is designed
to make the estimates of national income and of supple­
ments to wages and salaries more accurate. This change
means that private pension plans are treated in personal
income like private life insurance companies. This is
particularly desirable in view of the fact that many of
these plans are administered by life insurance companies.
10. The change in farm inventories of crops not held
for sale, positive or negative, has been added to national
income, national product, and personal income. Former740228—*7

ly, the definition-of the change in farm inventories was
restricted to total livestock and crops held for sale.
This addition, which is quantitatively important in
some years, was made to obtain complete coverage of
goods-in-process inventories in the private business
system.
11. Business transfer payments have been included in
personal income. Such payments were previously neg­
lected essentially for statistical reasons but now have
been estimated to effect a better reconciliation of the
accounts for the sectors of the economy.
Comparison WitU Former Estimates

In all, the result of the revisions has been to increase
the levels of the national income, personal income, and
gross national product. The magnitude of the increases
over the whole period is indicated in the charts while the
precise effects of the various changes in each year are
shown by the reconciliation of our old and new esti-

NATIONAL INCOME SUPPLEMENT TO SURVEY O F CURRENT BUSINESS

July 1947

revisions in the aggregates arising from purely statistical
changes are generally fairly small on balance.
The most important statistical revision has been in
consumer expenditures, arising principally from a
fundamental change in the estimating procedure for
this component of national product. Those familiar
with the details of our previous estimates will recall
that the gross national product for the period before
the war was computed from the income side of the
national account by adding the necessary adjustment
items to the national income. In the filling in of the
product side of the account, consumer expenditures were
obtained as a residual, as direct estimates of this com­
ponent were not then available.20 In our present esti-

mates in table VII. I t may be seen that the increases
in the aggregates are substantially accounted for by the
changes in concepts that have been listed. As the most
important of these changes concerned items which ex­
panded substantially during the war, they exert the
greatest effect in raising the new series during the war
years. The three items of military income—income in
kind to the armed forces, the Government's contribution
to military life insurance lunds, and the Government's
contribution to family allowances—which account for a
large part of the addition to the national income and
gross national product in 1945, were negligible in 1939.
The level of the national income since 1941 is also raised
considerably by the inclusion of corporate profits
before taxes rather than profits after taxes, particularly
during the period of high excess-profits taxes. The

" For tbe period after 1939 the estimates of consumer expenditures were obtained by
extrapolating the 1039 residual on tbe basis of retail trade and other information relating
to consumers7 purchases. Hence, the estimates /or this period were independent as
to movement but not as to level.

mates, however, all the items on both sides of the ac­
count are obtained independently. As was indicated
by the data in earlier articles," the direct estimates of
consumer expenditures have proved to be significantly
higher than the previous residual estimates—quite apart
from definitional differences.
Since the major changes introduced into this revised
body of national income statistics are due to differences
in definitions, they do not in general alter the quantita­
tive ideas about the American economy that have
become familiar on the basis of our previous estimates.
This is not to overlook the inconvenience involved in
adjusting one's thinking to a new set of definitions and
numerical values.
Special comment should be made, however, on the
estimates of personal saving. The new estimates run
at a considerably lower level than our previously pub­
lished series. While the change,is partly due to dif" STO7ET or CUBBBNT BuslKESS, April 1942, October IM2, and Jtrao 1W4.

ferenoes in eoncept, the greater part arises from the
fact that, in obtaining personal saving as a residual
from disposable income, a higher level of consumer
expenditures is subtracted than was formerly the case.
I t should be emphasized that the personal saving
estimates of the Department of Commerce are obtained
as residuals and hence are subject to errors in the various
statistical series from which they are derived. In view
of the rather substantial difference in level between
these estimates and the results of several earlier investiga­
tions, we should like to explore some of the problems
involved in assessing the accuracy of the Commerce
personal saving estimates.
In any comparison of the general level of personal
saving shown in this report with earlier estimates, it is
first necessary that the differences in the concepts of
saving employed be fully recognized. Our concept im­
plies a quite complete measurement of personal saving
from an economic standpoint, in contrast to various other

estimates that have not attempted to measure all types
of saving on a net basis. In addition to the types of
liquid assets that readily come to mind in estimating
personal saving, such as changes in cash and deposits, in
life insurance reserves, in building association reserves,
in security holdings, and in consumer debt, our concept
includes the direct investment of individuals in housing
and the direct investment of owners of unincorporated
enterprises in real property, equipment, and inventories.
Moreover, in our definition of personal saving, the depre­
ciation of houses owned by individuals and of capital
owned by unincorporated enterprises is counted as nega­
tive saving. Similarly, declines in inventories of unin­
corporated enterprises constitute negative saving. Also,
our definition of saving is net of capital gains and losses
and of the financial costs of acquiring property or secu­
rities—important points in considering the net saving
figure for a year like 1929. These conceptual points
considerably narrow the differences between our esti­
mates and those of certain other investigators. As

compared with our own previous estimates, our new
series is conceptually lower by depreciation on owneroccupied homes and on the property of nonprofit insti­
tutions, by the noncorporate inventory valuation adjust­
ment, and by the change in farm inventories of crops not
held for sale. The two last-named items, which may be
positive or negative, significantly affect the year-to-year
movement of personal saving.
We turn now to the more statistical aspects of the
estimates. What is presented in this report is not a
single estimate of personal saving for any given year but
three estimates that are derived by largely independent
methods. One is the residual estimate obtained from
the data on personal income and its disposition, as shown
in table 3, to which the "personal saving" label is at­
tached. Concerning this series it need only be said that
the components of personal income, taxes, and expendi­
tures have been more carefully denned and the statistics
more meticulously compiled than has previously been
the case in national income estimation.

NATIONAL INCOME SUPPLEMENT TO SURVEY O F CURRENT BUSINESS
Another estimate of personal saving can be derived
from our accounts as a residual from the data on sources
and uses of gross saving given in table 5. It will be seen
that most of the items in table 5 are statistically inde­
pendent of the items in table 3 and that the former yield
alternative estimates of "personal saving" equal to that
item plus the statistical discrepancy.** So long as the
statistical discrepancy remains small, there must be
some presumption that the true figure for personal saving
is approximately indicated by the estimates. For this
not to be the ease would imply a somewhat unlikely com­
bination of errors in the two tables. For example, for
personal saving to be appreciably higher in the decade
before the war, it would be necessary not only that in­
come be higher or expenditures lower than they are shown
to be in table 3 but also that gross capital investment be
higher or gross business saving and government surplus
lower than shown in table 5.
A third method of deriving personal saving in this
report is the direct estimation of changes in the various
assets and liabilities of persons. A virtually complete
reconciliation of the familiar Securities and Exchange
Commission estimates with those of the Department of
Commerce is shown for the first time. These data were
prepared by the research staff of the Securities and Ex­
change Commission and are shown in table f>. The re­
conciliation items represent, in the main, types of per­
sonal saving measured by changes in the relevant assets
or liabilities.
We feel that the similarity in both levels and move­
ments of the estimates of saving derived by these three
methods is striking in view of the fact that the basic
data involved in each are so largely independent. For
a This series ("personal saving" plus "statistical discrepancy") is also the saving
scries which would be obtained if the double-residual method formerly used for the
decade of the thirties—obtaining personal consumption expenditures by deducting
other gross national product components from the gross national product aggregate
obtained from the Income side, and deducting persona] consumption expenditures from
disposable Income—were applied with oni revised estimates,




17

example, the cumulative difference between the direct
estimates of saving in table 6 and the residuals in table 3
for the period from 1933*3 to 1946 amounts to only 0.2
billion dollars per annum, while the cumulative discrep­
ancy in the two series derived from the national income
and product accounts from 1929 to 1946 amounts to
only 0.6 billion dollars per annum.
"While we have found these considerations impressive,
we are aware that the saving estimates, or other data in
this report, may be modified by future research. In
particular, as national income statistics do not rest upon
the foundation of a consistently conceived statistical
program designed to yield a complete and integrated
portrayal of the economy, the current efforts of Federal
statistical agencies to increase the coverage and accuracy
of economic data should lead to further improvements in
national income estimation.
Note on Industrial Classification
For the convenience of the technical users of the data for
national income and the various distributive shares by industry,
a comparison of our industrial classification with those of the
Social Security Administration and the Bureau of Internal Rev­
enue, and t h a t given in the Standard Industrial Classification
Manual is provided in table ¥111. From the standpoint of the
general user of the estimates, the most important point to be
emphasized is that, because of the nature of the basic sources,
corporate profits, the corporate inventory valuation adjustment,
and corporate interest are on a company basis of industrial classi­
fication, while the other distributive shares are on an establish­
ment basis. This is a serious limitation on the comparability of
the distributive share estimates for some industrial groups, and
one 'which should be considered carefully by those who use the
data for particular industries. All the estimates are on a current
product classification; that is, firms and establishments which
converted to new products during the war were reclassified to the
appropriate industry.
» Unfortunately, S. E. C. data on savings are uot available prior to 1033 due to the
inadequacy of source materials. In connection with our residual estimate for 1929,
which may appear low atfirstsight, it should be noted that personal saving in the form
of cash and deposits was a substantial negativefigurein that year.

In addiMoa to t h e estin^tes oHiquid saving, the Securities and Exchange Commission also prepares estimates of gross savings. The following comments apply to liquid saving
only. The 3 . £ . C. concept of liquid saving differs in three major respects from the personal saving concept as published in this report. First, liquid saving Includes the increase in
the reserves of government-admrnistercdlnsuraiLcoand pension funds. This item Is not part of personal saving and Is shown (on a somewhat different basis) separately under surplus
of social insurance funds. Secoudjiqutd saving includes the net liquidation of mortgage debt on residential dwellings, but It does not Include net acquisitions (after allowances for
depreciation), of such dwellings. Hence it does not measure net SAvlng in tho form of residential dwellings, the item which is included in the concept of personal saving. (A similar
difference exists with respect to construction by non-proQt institutions). Third, liquid saving includes the net ebange in t h e liquid assets of unincorporated enterprises, whereas
personal saving includes the net income less the personal consumption expenditures of tho owners of unincorporated enterprises. On this score, therefore, liqnid saving differs from
personal saving by the delusion of net Investment by unincorporated enterprises less the increase in their not payables to corporations and financial intermediaries.
Tabic 6 summariies the best statistical data that arc available to adjust liquid saving to personal saving. The difference between liquid saving adjusted t o the personal saving
concept and personal saving is due to statisticalerrorsand omissions which may be In Mould saving, in personal saving, or In tho adjustments. The data available for the adjustment
items are generally not as satisfactory as tbose used in t h e preparation of tho 9. E. C. liquid saving estimates. This is particularly true of t h o estimated incrcaso in net payables to
corporations and financial intermediaries by unincorporated enterprises other tban farms whieh is subject to a substantial margin of error. T h e S . E. C. data are not available for the
period prior t o 1933.
! For explanatory notes, see current releases of Securities and Exchange Commission.

i Includes transactions of social insurance funds, which can be separated by use of the data furnished in table 10- For an explanation of the treatment of government enterprises
cf. p p . 4-5. State and local enterprises include State workmen's compensation funds, in addition to undertakings classified as enterprises by the Bureau of the Census, such as alco­
holic beverage monopolies; water, electric, gas, and transit systems; Sousing authorities; and other large commercial activities involving significant amounts and operated and ac­
counted for as enterprises. The following list enumerates Federal enterprises by their current names: Agricultural Marketing Act Revolving Fund, Alaska Railroad Company, Army
I'ost Exchanges, B a n t s for Cooperatives, Bonneville Power Administration, Boulder Canyon Prelect, Commodity Credit Corporation, Defense Homes Corporation, Disaster Loan
Corporation, Electric Home and Farm Authority,Emergency Crop and Feed Loans, Export-Import Bank, Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora­

tion, Inland "waterways Corporation, Navy Ship Stores and Ship's Service Stores, Panama Canal Zone, Panama Railroad ComjKiny, Petroleum Reserves Corporation, Post Office,
Production Credit Corporations, Reconstruction Finance Corporation (including Office of Defense Plants. Defense Supplies, Metals Reserve, and Rubber Reserve), Regional Agri­
cultural Credit Corporations, R F C Mortgage Conywny, Rubber Development Corporation, Rural Electrification Administration, Smaller War Plants Corporation, Tennessee Valley
Authority, XT. S. Commercial Company, u . S. Maritime Commission (operating activities), War Damage Corporation, "War Shipping Administration (commercial operating and
war risk insurance activities).
Government receipts and expenditures presented in these tables, and the implied surpluses and deficits, differ from Government receipts and exjjenditures presented in state­
ments of Federal Government finances, such as the Dally Treasury Statement, the U. S. Budget, and the Combined Statement of Receipts and Expenditures, and in statements of
State and local government finances, either as published by the various governmental units or as summarized by the Bureau of tbe Census. These didevenees may be grouped under
four headings: (a) coverage; (b) classification; (c) tuning; (d> transactions accounted for.
(a) In the national Income and product tables, a consolidated Government account is presented. Tito transactions of social insurance funds arc merged with other Government
transactions; a consistent treatment of Government enterprises (described on pp. 4-5) is provided, the net efTect ot which is to count the capital expenditures less the current surplus
of those enterprises as part of the total Government deficit; and certain other entitles are covered which In Government financial statement are accounted for separately from ordinary
Government receipts and expenditures, e. g., the receipts and expenditures of minor trust accounts, the Exchange Stabilization fund, and Federal purchases and sales of silver and
minor coin metals. The purchase and sale of gold, however, arc not reflected in the government accounts liere shown. Gold is regarded as an international asset and all gold transac­
tions are accounted for under transactions with the rest of tho world (table 11).
(b) Government receipts and expenditures in the present table are classified in a manner significant for economic analysis and consistent with the accounts of the other sectors
of the economy- I t is not, of course, suggested that this is the only possible significant analytical classification.
(c) Government transactions. In these tables, are recorded at the time they appear in the accounts tor the other sectors of the economy, whereas government financial state­
ments generally record revenues upon receipts by tbe Government, and expenditures at the time of payment. In the national income and product tables, receipts from individuals
are recorded when individuals make payment (the lag between time of payment and time of receipt by the Government may be substantial, e. g., in tlio case of the Federal with­
holding tax or employee contributions for social insurance). Receipts from business are on an accrual basis; this tends to date corporate profits taxes, among others, a year earlier
than when they are recorded in Government financial statements. Receipts from abroad are recorded at the tunc at which they are entered In the balance of international payments
(which again may diflor substantially from the time at which they are covered into the Treasruy, e. g., in the case of cash and credit lend-lease, sales of surplus property, etc.). Domes­
tic sales of surplus consumption goods and materials, whether for cash or on credit, are rocordod at the time otsale. Tax refunds arc netted against tax payments [on a current basis
Tor individuals and on an accrual basis for business). Receipts from renegotiation of war contracts are deducted from government expenditures in the year of the original overpay­
ment (corresponding adjustments are made in profits and in taxes). Government purchases from business arc adjusted to an accrual basis by adding to Government expenditures as
calculated from the Daily Treasury Statement an estimate of the change In net business receivables from Government. Two other timing adjustments required to harmonize the
Federal Government accounts completely with the accounts of other sectors cf the economy could not be made. First, an adjustment should have been made for Government checks
recorded as paid by the Government in a given period but not received by the payee in that period, (The Dally Treasury Statement, the basic source from which the estimates of
Federal expenditures are derived, was on a cheeks' paid basts for most of the period under consideration.) Second, an adjustment should have been made for changes in the various
departments' holdings of foreign and special currencies, since the Dally Treasury Statement reflects the acquisition of these special and foreign currencies by these departments rather
than their disbursement.
(d) Not alt transactions recorded in Government financial statements appear in the national Income and product tables. Receipts from the sales of, and expenditures for the
acquisition of, land and fixed second-hand assets arc not counted. Similarly Government loans are not counted as expenditures and their repayment does not appear as Government
receipts. Conversely, certain transactions arc recorded which do not ordinarily appear in Government financial statements, or appear in a very different form, such as Government
contributions to the retirement funds of its own employees and to military life insurance funds. These contributions appear in the national income and product tables both under
"Compensation of employees" In Government expenditures and under "Contributions for Social Insin-ancc" in receipts.
* Federal grants-in-aid to Srato and local governments arc reflected in Federal expenditures and in State and local receipts and expenditures. Total Government receipts and
expenditures have been adltisted to eliminate this duplication.
', Consists of individual income tip; and victory tax.
< Consists of dividends tax and automobile use tax.
''Consists mainly of charges for Government products and services not accounted for" under Government en troprises; of fines and penalties; and of donations. Includes also the
excess of receipts over expenditures derived from the services of cricmy prisoners.of war to private contractors. Receipts from the sale of surplus property are not included,

Hon of employees" and leads to an understatement of "purchases from business, except construction." It is believed that this understatement is small. Sum of Federal and State
and local 'TIOW construction" for 1935-43 is smaller than "New public construction" in tab)e3l, because of theexcluston of Works Projects Administration new construction. In table

i The presentation of the international transactions of the United States in this table is adapted to the concepttjal framework of national income statistics and differs somewhat
from their current presentation in the official estimates of the United States balance of payments. Subject to one qualification (explained in the following paragraph), the item " N o t
current payments to the United States" in this table agrees with the item '"Excess ot receipts over payments" on "good's and services" and "unilateral transfers published in t h e
regular balance of payments statement. In alternative terminology this item is known as the balance of payments on current account, and measures the excess, positive or negative,
of current receipts from abroad over current payments to abroad, and hence also the net foreign Investment otthe United States. The following major differences between table 11
and the regular balance of payments statement as currently published should he noted:
a. The territory for which the United States balance of international payments is calculated includes, in addition to the continental United States, United States territories and
possessions. United States national income and product estimates are calculated for the continental United States only. I t is believed that for tbe prewar years the error involved
in this inconsistency is not large. For the years 1941-46, however, a partial adjustment was mado by taking into account United States Federal Government disbursements in United
States territories and possessions, which, from tbe standpoint of national income statistics as here presented, constitute purchases from abroad. Accordingly, for the years 1041-46
" N e t current payments to the United States" in table 11 differ from the "Excess ot receipts over payments" on "goods and services" and "unilateral transfers" as published in the
regular balance of payments statement by the amount of this adjustment.
b . Gross receipts and payments in table 11 differ from grossreeeipts and payments in tbe regular balance of payments statement because of tbe exclusion from table 11 of unilat­
eral transfers in kind which do not give rise to international claims. ( £ . g., lend lease, other than relmburseabte lend lease, reciprocal aid, U N R R A shipments, transactions in nonredeemable special currency, and personal and institutional remittances infcind.) The regular balance of payments statement en ters these transactions twice (once as a credit and once
as a debit item). Given the framework of national Income statistics, it was more convenient to omit them altogether from transactions with the rest of the world.
c. The transactions classified as Government transactions in table 11 differ from those so classified in the regular balance of payment statement, because they exclude the trans­
actions of Government enterprises and the personal expenditures of Government civilian and military personnef abroad. In table 11 the former are classified under "business," and
the latter under "persons."
d. The regular balance of payments statement distinguishes between "goods and services" and "unilateral transfers," such as gifts and contributions. "Goods and services" are
defined to include payments and receipts of property andlabor Income, In table 11 property and labor income transactions are segregated. On the other hand, unilateral monetary
transfers are combined with the remaining goods and services transactions under tbe heading "purchases" and "sales."
» Cf. footnote 4, table 14.
' Includes net exports of gold plus increase in monetary gold stoCk, which is the equivalent of domestic production less industrial consumption of gold.
* The effect of the treatment of gold described in footnotes 3 and 10 is to make tbe United States production of gold for monetary and export purposes a component of net capital
movement ("netforcbm investment" component of gross national product).
* Includes also unilateral cash transfers. Cf. footnote Id and also footnote 7 to table 9.
* Includes also unilateral cash transfers. Cf. footnote Id and also footnote 6 to table 9. Includes also adjustment for United States Government expenditures in United States
territories and possessions described in footnote la.
' Consists of unilateral cash transfers. Cf. footbote Id.
1
Consists ofpersonal expenditures abroad, including those of Government civilian and military personnel, and of unilateral cash transfers. Cf. footnote Id.
' Includes "Errors and omissions" which arc assumed to reflect largely unreported capital movements rather than unreported current payments and receipts.
'■An increase (decrease) in the United States gold stock appears as a negative (positive) entry.
u Cf. footnote la. Tbis item offsets the adjustment which has been made to tbe regular balance of payments statement with respect to United States Government expenditures
in United States territories and possessions under "Sales to United States Government," for which no corresponding adjustment has been mado in the other components of " N e t
capital movement to tbe United States."

> National income originating in each industry is the sum of factor costs Incurred by the industry in production. Hence, it islhe net value added to production by the Industry,
measured at factor costs. In the business sector of the economy, except Government enterprises, it is equal to the eicess ol theTnarket value of the industry's product and the sub­
sidies it receives over the sum of the following costs: purchases of goods and services from other enterprises, indirect business tax and nontax liability, business transfer payments,
and capital consumption charges. In the Government and personal sectors ofthe economy, which do not produccfor sale, andalso in Government enterprises, this valaa added in pro­
duction (as measured In the present series) can be described only as factor costs incurred, "National income originating" is a more net concept of value-added than that used by the
Bureau of the Census in compiling the Census of Manufactures. "Value added by manufacture" was obtained in the 1039 Census of Manufactures by deducting from the value of
products only "the cost of materials, supplies, containers, fuel, purchased electric energy, and contract work,"
National income by industrial origin Is obtained statistically by aggregating the data presented In tables 14,15,10,17,22, and 23, together with the rental income of persons (shown
In table 12 and all classified in the real estate industry). Footnotes to these tables arc, therefore, relevant also to table 13.
'This series dlfleres from income originating in the rest of the world shown in tables 11 and 12 because profits received by domestic corporations from foreign branches are excluded
from this line and included in the Industry of the recipient corporation. Data required lor their elimination are not available by industry.

' The industrial detail of the manufacturing Industries m 1942andl946tenot entirely satisfactory. Not all establishments were reclassified promptly when their principal product
conned as a result of conversion to war production la I9J2 and reconversion in 1943-46. In particular It appears that payrolls and employment in automobiles and automobile equip­
ment are overstated in 1942 and understated in 1946, and that pay rolls and employment In transportation equipment except automobiles err in the opposite direction. Other foot
noted industries are also affected to an unknown extent.
' I n d u d e s pay of Untied States citizens but not of foreigners employed abroad by the United States Government.
1
Represents cash pay and allowances, including tbe Government's contribution to allowances tor dependents of enlisted personnel, and th« value of food and personal clothing
furnished in kind. The joay of personnel stationed abroad Is included, but that of personnel recruited from the territories is excluded.

F a y of permanent United States residents employed in the United States by foreign governments and international organizations.

i "Income of unincorporated enterprise;" measures the net income of sole proprietorships and partnerships, except that tbe series tor wholesale trade includes estimated patronage
refunds and stock dividends paid by farmers' cooperatives (shown separately m table 12). "Income of unincorporated enterprises"excludes tbe Inventory valuation adjustment which
is shown by industries in table 22b. Industries for which income of unincorporated enterprises is estimated at zero in alt years are omitted from table 16.
* This series is obtained by deducting production expenses (including home-ownership expenses) from the gross value of production. Gross value of production is tbe sum of
(1) cash receipts from farm marketings; (2) Government payments to farmers; (3) the value (at farm prices) of home consumption of farm products; (4) the gross rental value of farm
homes; and (5) tbe value of tbe change In farm inventories of crops and livestock. Estimates were supplied by the Department of Agriculture. This series differs in definition from
the Department of Agriculture's "realized net income of farm operators" by Inclusion of the value of the change in all farm inventories; it differs from the former Commerce Depart­
ment series by Inclusion of not rental value of owner-occupied farm dwelltnss,net farm rent aocrntng to landlords living on farms, and the value of the change in inventories of crops
not held for sale.

A dcscrtpttonoMhc Department of Commerce scries forcorporate profits. taxes, dividends, undistributed profits, and sales Is contained in: "Trend or Corporate Profits, 1929-45,"
SURVEY OF CmtiiENT EASINESS, April 1940. A reconciliation of corporate proSts with "compiled net profit" as published annually by the Bureau ol Internal Kevonue In Statistics of
Income is presented in table 33,
Special attention should be directed to tbe following characteristics of the estimates ol corporate profits before tax {table 17), taxes (tabic 18), profits after tax (table 19), and undis­
tributed profits (table 21) during recent years. These characteristics are described only In terras ofprofits before tax and taxes, but tboy affect also profits after tax and undistributed
profltsslnce these are obtained as residuals, (l) Originally-reported profits before tax have been reduced to the extent that the^ were overstated by amounts subsequently recaptured
by the government by reneeotiation of war contracts. Taxes have also been reduced to take account of the reduced tax liability arising from renegotiation. (2) By shortening the
emergency amortization period for war facilities to less than thefive-yearspan initlallyused, the Presidential Proclamation signed Soptember29,1945, permitted corporations to deduct
additional amortisation in the years 1941 to 1945 In the computation of profits for tax purposes. Our estimates of profits and taxes correspond to tax taw in that amortization has been
recomputed for 1941 to 1945, thus reducing profits and taxes in these years. In contrast, most corporation reports to stockholders charged the entire amount of additional amortization
charges against 1945 profits. (3) Corporate income and excess profits taxes were reduced from the amount reported on original tax returns lor 1943,1944, and 1945, by estimated amounts
of tax credits arising in 1944,1945, and 1940 from carry-backs of unused excess profits tax credits and net operating losses. (4) No adjustments have yet been made to take account
of tax rebates which may arise from changes in the excess profits tax credit under section 722 (dealing with claims that profits in the 1936-39 base period were abnormally tow) of tha
Internal Revenue Code. Also, no allowances have been made for the possible effects of reopening renegotiation cases as a result of the reduction In wartime profits caused by tbe
Tecom potation of cmerconcv amortization charges discussed above.
Corporate profits, tax, dividends and sales data are derived, with certain adjustments, from corporation Income tax returns (oxcept for the years 1945 and 1946, for which the esti­
mates aro pro) Iminnry). During the period 1934 to 1941 each single corporation, with certain exceptions, wasrequlred to flleasoparatereturn. These were classified industrially on tha
basis of tile principal activity of tho corporation. From 1929 to 1933 and from 1942 to date tbefilingof consolidated returns for affiliated corporations was generally permissible upon
payment of a small additional tax. The consolidated group of affiliated corporations was then classified according to tho principal activity of the group, rbus discontinuities in the
industrial detail of the data occur between 1933 and 1934 and between 194! and 1942.
> Industries in which there are no corporations organised for profit, or in which corporate profits before tax are estimated at less than $500,000 in all years, arc omitted from this
table.

This series differs from profits in tho Rest of the Worldshown in table 12, and thesum of branch profits and net dtvidondsshownm table 11, because profits received by domestic
corporations from foreign branches aro excluded from this line and included In tbe industry of the recipient corporation, Data for their elimination are not available by Industry,

The Inventory valuation adjustment measures the excess of the value of the change in the volume oinonfarm business inventories over the change in the book value of nonforro
inventories. No inventory valuation adjustment is required in the Industry Farms because the net income of unincorporated enterprises in that industry (as shown in table 10) is
estimated by a method which yields results directly comparable to the sum of net income of unincorporated enterprises and the inventory valuation adjustment In other industries.
The inventory valuation adjustment has been estimated only in those industrial divisions—mining, contract construction, manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade, transporta­
tion, and (for corporations only) communications and public utilities—In which inventories are an important Income-determining factor. Within theseliidustrial divisions stubs have
been omitted for detailed industries (or which the inventory valuation adjustment is estimated at less than $500,000 in ail years.
• The industrial classification of the corporate inventory valuation adjustment Is subject to the same incomparabilitles over time as corporate profits (described In footnote 2 to
table 17), except that the 1934 valuation adjustment data are comparable to those from 1929 to 1933 instead of 1935 to 1911.

Hot interest measures, in each industry, O) cosh interest payable, plus (2) imputed interest paid (by financial intermediaries only), minus (3) cash interest (including govern­
ment interest) received by business (but not including interest received by solo proprietorships and partnerships not engaged in lending as a principal activity), minus (4) imputed
interest received b y business. Derivation of the all-industry aggregate is shown in table 37, Because of the changes in corporate reporting described in table 17, footnote I, data for
corporate interest paid and received which enter into those computations are not strictly comparable In industrial classification between the periods 1920-33,1034-41, and 1942-46.

i This series measures man-years of tuB-time employment by persons working for wages or salaries and by active proprietors of unincorporated enterprises. "Persons engaged"
fallssbort of total man-years of lull-time employment because of the exclusion Irom t h e data of unpaid family workers. This exclusion is due to unresolved difficulties in their defini­
tion and measurement. Table 28 is obtained by addition of tables 24 and 27; footnotes to those tables are, therefore, relevant also to table 28.
