the BUSINESS SITUATION
THE pace of U.S. production picked

up in the first quarter of 1987. Real
GNP increased at an annual rate of
4V2 percent, following an increase of 1
v^rcent in the fourth quarter of 1986
(chart I).1
U.S. demand also picked up, but
was weaker than U.S. production for
the second consecutive quarter. Real
gross domestic purchases increased

product accounts are expressed at seasonally adjusted
annual rates, and quarterly changes in them are differences between these rates. Quarter-to-quarter percent changes are annualized. Real, or constant-dollar,
estimates are expressed in 1982 dollars.
The preliminary GNP estimates for the first quarter
are based on the following major source data: For personal consumption expenditures (PCE), retail sales
through March, and unit auto and truck sales through
March; for nonresidential fixed investment, the same
information for autos and trucks as for PCE, construction put in place for January and February, and manufacturers' shipments of machinery and equipment for
January and February; for residential investment, construction put in place for January and February, and

2x/2 percent, following a V2-percent decline in the fourth quarter.
Inflation, whether measured by
prices of U.S. production or by prices
of domestic purchases, accelerated 1
percentage point in the first quarter.
The GNP price index (fixed weights)
increased SVfe percent after a 2V2-percent increase; the price index for
gross domestic purchases (fixed
weights) increased 4x/2 percent after a
3V2-percent increase.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Real GNP
The increase in U.S. production in
the first quarter, for the most part,
went into inventories. With the exception of net exports, the major components of real final sales of GNP declined in the first quarter. A substantial decline in government purchases
was due to transactions of the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC);
other government purchases increased. Net exports registered a sizable increase due to a drop in imports;
exports declined moderately.
Real inventory investment—that is,
change in business inventories—increased $59*/2 billion in the first quarter, as inventories swung from a decumulation of $28Vfe billion in the fourth
quarter to an increase of $31 billion
in the first (table 1). Together, farm
inventories and motor vehicle inventories accounted for more than fourfifths of the first-quarter swing in inventories. Most of the $22 billion
swing in farm inventories was due to
transfers of crops between farmers
and the CCC; thus, for GNP, the farm
inventory swing was nearly offset by
a $21 billion swing in the opposite direction in CCC inventories in government purchases.
Largely reflecting the pattern of
net crop placements with the CCC,
farm inventories increased $31/2 billion in the first quarter after an $18V2
billion decrease in the fourth. In the
fourth quarter, farmers had placed
large amounts of crops with the CCC
under the commodity loan program;
in the first quarter, crop placements
were substantially smaller. Commodity loan transactions are treated in the

fourth; inventories had been 1.18 million in the third. Reflecting declining
sales and rising inventories, the inventory-sales ratio rose to 3.0 in the
first quarter, the highest level since
the fourth quarter of 1981. The ratio
had been 2.0 in the fourth quarter of
1986 and 1.5 in the third. Faced with
the large buildup in inventories, manufacturers have scheduled a cutback
in production in the second quarter.
Sales of imported cars declined to
2.6 million—the lowest level in 2
years—from 3.6 million in the fourth
quarter. The decline was mainly in
sales of Japanese cars, for which

in the third quarter (chart 2). The
first-quarter decline was about evenly
CHARTS
divided between domestic and imported cars.
Retail Sales of New Cars
Sales of domestic cars fell sharply
from 9.7 million in the third quarter
to 7.9 million in the fourth and to 6.8
million in the first. Record sales in
the third quarter had resulted primarily from extensive incentive programs offered by automakers from
mid-August through September; sales
may have been "borrowed" from the
fourth quarter and the first part of
1987. When the programs were eliminated at the end of the third quarter,
sales fell sharply, although there was
a rebound at yearend that may have
reflected, to some extent, consumers'
response to prospective changes in the
Federal tax law. (Effective January 1,
1987, the Tax Reform Act of 1986
eliminated the deduction for State
sales tax and began phasing out the
deduction for interest payments on
consumer loans.) First-quarter sales
were dampened by the elimination of
the tax advantages and the absence of
extensive incentive programs. Further, some consumers may have postponed purchases, anticipating that extensive incentive programs may be offered again later in the model year.
Despite declining sales, domestic
automakers maintained production
levels; inventories, most of which are
held by dealers, built up. Domestic
car production increased slightly to
8.2 million units in the first quarter
from 7.9 million in the fourth; produc1983

Largely reflecting net crop placements, CCC inventories increased
$1V2 billion in the first quarter after
a $22 billion increase in the fourth.
Motor vehicle inventories increased
$34 billion after a $6 billion increase
in the fourth quarter. The increases
came as motor vehicle output continued at a brisk pace despite sharp declines in sales. A discussion of recent
developments in motor vehicles, in
terms of units, follows.

the fourth. Motor vehicles and parts
dropped sharply in both quarters.
Furniture and household equipment
increased somewhat less than in the
fourth quarter. Other durables decreased, following a sharp fourthquarter increase that was partly attributable to purchases of the newly
issued "American Eagle" gold coin.
Nondurable goods increased 1 percent in the first quarter after changing little in the fourth. This slight increase was the net result of larger, divergent movements in the major components. An acceleration in expenditures on food may have been related
to a deceleration in food prices. Clothing and shoes increased strongly after
a decrease of similar magnitude.
Energy—gasoline and oil, and fuel oil
and coal—plunged after a strong increase; these sharp changes may have
been related to recent large fluctuations in energy prices. Other nondurables increased sharply after a moderate decrease.

Unit sales of new trucks declined to
4.4 million in the first quarter from
4.7 million in the fourth. Sales of domestic trucks were 3.7 million in both
quarters; sales of imported trucks declined to 0.7 million from 1.0 million.
Personal consumption expenditures
Real personal consumption expenditures (PCE) decreased l/2 percentage
point in the first quarter, the same as
in the fourth; in the third quarter,
PCE had increased 6 Vz percent (table
2). The recent quarterly changes in
PCE have been dominated by large,
erratic movements in motor vehicles,
which were, at least in part, related
to the timing of incentive programs.
If total expenditures for autos and
trucks during the past four quarters
are spread evenly over this period,
real PCE increased 2 to 2l/2 percent in
the third, fourth, and first quarters.
Expenditures for durable goods decreased lll/2 percent in the first quarter after a decrease of 11 percent in

NOTE.—Percent changes in major aggregates are found in the National Income and Product Accounts Tables, table 8.1. Dollar
levels are found in table 2.3.




Services increased 4V2 percent in
the first quarter, following a 3-percent
increase in the fourth. The acceleration was largely in transportation
services, where the introduction of
large discounts by many major airlines appears to have stimulated
travel, and in other services, due to a
sharp increase in brokerage commissions as stock market activity picked
up. Housing services and medical care
services each registered an increase
similar to that in the fourth quarter.
Household operation services decreased after changing little in the
fourth quarter; electricity and gas declined in the first quarter because of
mild winter weather in many parts of
the country.
Nonresidential fixed investment
Real nonresidential fixed investment declined 13 percent in the first
quarter, following a 3-percent increase in the fourth (table 3). Both
structures and producers' durable
equipment (PDE) registered sizable
drops: Structures continued a downtrend, and PDE reversed itself after
increases.
In structures, declines were widespread in the first quarter, but commercial and industrial buildings accounted for the bulk of the drop.
Within commercial structures, office
buildings once again were weak, reflecting previous overbuilding and
high vacancy rates. Petroleum exploration and drilling declined, after increasing in the fourth quarter for the
first time in seven quarters.
In PDE, motor vehicles—which account for about 15 percent of the
total—accounted for about 40 percent
of the decline; an increase in truck
purchases was more than offset by a
drop in automobiles. Declines were
also substantial in information processing equipment and general industrial equipment. Some of the decline
in nonmotor vehicle PDE appears to
reflect efforts of businesses late in
1986 to accelerate purchases of equipment—i.e., to shift planned purchases
from 1987 into the fourth quarter of
1986—in order to qualify for depreciation in 1986.
Residential investment
Real residential investment declined 7 percent in the first quarter,
following a 5-percent increase in the
fourth. Multifamily construction accounted for more than one-half of the

April 1987

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
decline; single-family construction
dipped only slightly. Other residential
investment—which includes major additions and alterations, mobile home
sales, and brokers' commissions on
house sales—also declined.
The sharp drop in multifamily construction followed modest declines in
the previous two quarters. The weakness reflected the lagged impact of
sharp declines in multifamily starts
last year (chart 3). At 542,000 (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the first
quarter, multifamily starts were 24
percent below the year-earlier level.
The drop in starts, in turn, represented a reaction to high vacancy rates,
particularly in regions heavily dependent on energy production and agribusiness.
The slight dip in single-family construction followed eight consecutive
quarterly increases and occurred despite a small increase in starts in the
fourth quarter (according to revised
Census Bureau data) and a large increase in the first. The dip reflected
the lagged impact of weak starts in
the third quarter of last year and a
decrease in the average value of new
houses in the first quarter. Mortgage
interest rates continued to decline,
but the pace slowed markedly during
the quarter (chart 4).
The decline in other residential investment was largely accounted for by
a drop in brokers' commissions. Sales
of both new and existing houses declined from the fourth quarter to January-February.
Inventory investment
Real inventory investment swung
to an increase of $59V2 billion in the
first quarter, as inventories registered
substantial accumulation after substantial decumulation in the fourth
quarter (table 4). Both farm and nonfarm inventories contributed to the
swing. Changes in farm inventories,
as described earlier in the article,
largely reflected net placements of
crops with the CCC.
Nonfarm inventories accumulated
$27% billion in the first quarter, following decumulation in the two preceding quarters. Most of the firstquarter accumulation was accounted
for by retail auto dealers' inventories,
which increased $24 billion after two

quarters of decline.2 The accumulation in nonfarm inventories other
than those held by retail auto dealers
amounted to $3Vfe billion in the first
quarter after a decumulation of $8%
billion in the fourth.
The swing in other nonfarm inventories was accounted for by wholesale
trade. Inventories of both merchant
wholesalers of durables and nonmerchant wholesalers of nondurables accumulated after declining in the
fourth quarter. The first-quarter accu2. The estimates for inventories of retail auto dealers, which are derived from Census Bureau book value
inventory data, cover most auto inventories—including inventories of new and used autos, domestic and
foreign—but do not include those held by manufacturers and wholesalers. The data for retail auto dealers
cover, in addition to autos, some trucks and other motorized vehicles, and also parts. The change in business inventory estimates for retail auto dealers differ
in terms of sources and coverage from the changes in
inventories of autos and trucks that are part of the
motor vehicle output estimates.

mulation for merchant wholesalers
apparently reflected efforts to restock
off-the-shelf machinery and equipment items, following a sharp runoff
at the end of 1986. The accumulation
for nonmerchant wholesalers was in
inventories held in petroleum bulk
terminals and stations. Manufacturing inventories continued to decumulate, but the rate slowed. The decumulation was largely in inventories of
durable goods, mainly primary metals
arid nonelectrical machinery.
Reflecting rising inventories and
declining sales, the constant-dollar
ratio of total inventories to total final
sales increased to 3.18 in the first
quarter from a low of 3.13 in the
fourth. A variant of the ratio that is
adjusted for the impact of CCC inventory transactions on both inventories
and final sales increased to 3.31 in
the first quarter from 3.28 in the

imports; exports declined moderately
in the first quarter. The fourth-quarter increase in net exports, in contrast, had been almost entirely accounted for by a substantial increase
in exports.
Imports declined $15V2 billion, or 11

largely accounted for by merchandise

imports, both petroleum and nonpetroleum products.
Imports of petroleum dropped $11 Va
billion in the first quarter, following a
decrease of $8V2 billion in the fourth;
in the two preceding quarters, imports had jumped to unusually high
levels. These sharp changes were
largely responses to movements in
world petroleum prices.
Imports of nonpetroleum products
decreased $4x/2 billion in the first
quarter, in contrast to an increase of
$5 billion in the fourth. The firstquarter decrease, which was largely
in autos and in capital goods except
autos, appears to reflect the effects of
several quarters of increasing prices.
Imports of services were up less
than in the fourth quarter. The slowdown was in both investment income
and other services.
Exports decreased $1% billion, or
1V2 percent, in the first quarter, in
contrast to double-digit increases in
the two preceding quarters. The firstquarter decline was primarily in merchandise exports, both agricultural
and nonagricultural. The decline in
nonagricultural exports was largely
in industrial materials and supplies
and in capital goods except autos.
Some major U.S. export markets continued to experience sluggish demand.
Demand for U.S. exports by several
Latin American countries remains
constrained by their foreign debt
burden, and that by oil-exporting developing countries by relatively low
oil prices. Demand for U.S. exports by
Cananda, Mexico, and the newly industrialized Asian countries has not
had price stimulus from a declining
dollar, because its value has not
changed appreciably against the currencies of those countries. Further,
those countries provide stiff competition for U.S. products in other export
markets.
Agricultural exports declined $2 billion, following strong increases in the
third and fourth quarters. Although
U.S. farm products have been more
price competitive in foreign markets
in recent quarters as a result of the
decline in the dollar and the implementation of the Food Security Act of
1985, U.S. exports continued to be restrained by an oversupply of grains in
the world market. Moreover, the U.S.
dollar has not significantly declined
against the currencies of some of its
major competitors, such as Australia,

April 1987

6
Canada, and, more recently, Argentina and Brazil.
U.S. exports of services increased
about the same as in the fourth quarter. Investment income was up slightly after a decline, and other services
increased less than in the fourth
quarter.
Government purchases
Real government purchases declined $12V2 billion, or 6l/2 percent, in
the first quarter, following an increase of $19 billion, or 10 Vk percent,
in the fourth (table 6). These changes
reflected the pattern of net crop
placements with the CCC; government purchases less CCC inventory
change increased in the first quarter
after declining in the fourth.
Federal national defense purchases
increased in the first quarter after declining in the fourth. Both the increase and the decline were spread
across the categories of durables
goods, nondurable goods, and services
other than compensation of employees. Federal nondefense purchases
other than CCC inventory change continued a downtrend that has persisted
for six quarters. The first-quarter decline was widespread among the categories of goods and services.
State and local government purchases increased more than in the
fourth quarter. The pickup was due to
a turnaround in highway construction, which increased $lVfe billion in
the first quarter after a decline of
that amount in the fourth.

Prices
GNP prices and gross domestic purchases prices both accelerated 1 percentage pointx in the first quarter
(table 7). At 4 /2 percent, the increase
in the price index for gross domestic
purchases remained 1 percentage

point higher than that for GNP; the
difference reflected the much larger
increase in import prices than in
export prices. (Import prices are subtracted out in deriving GNP prices
but not in deriving gross domestic
purchases prices; export prices are included in GNP prices but not in gross
domestic purchases prices. For a discussion of conceptual differences between the two price measures, see the
section on "Aggregate Price Measures" in the February 1987 "Business
Situation/') A sharp acceleration in
merchandise import prices in the first
quarter was due to petroleum prices,
which surged 138 ¥2 percent after a
54V2-percent increase in the fourth
quarter. The large increases came
after OPEC members had agreed to
reinstate production quotas in
August. Other merchandise import
prices increased at about the 7-percent rate registered in the fourth
quarter.
The acceleration in gross domestic
purchases prices in the first quarter
was largely attributable to a sharp
turnaround in energy prices, which
increased 23V2 percent after six quarters of decline. Food prices increased
about one-half as much as in the
fourth quarter. The slowdown was
evident in meat prices, which had increased strongly in the second half of
1986, and in milk and fresh vegetable
prices.
Prices of other gross domestic purchases were affected in both the
fourth and first quarters by developments relating to compensation of
government employees. In the fourth
quarter, prices were boosted a few
tenths of a percentage point by a onetime employer contribution to a pension fund administered by Los Angeles County; this contribution is treated in the NIPA's as a temporary increase in the price of employee serv-

ices purchased by State and local government. In the first quarter, prices
were boosted about Vfe percentage
point by a 3-percent pay raise for Federal civilian and military personnel;
such a pay raise is treated in the
NIPA's as an increase in the price of
employee services purchased by the
Federal Government. If the volatile
food and energy categories and the
developments related to government
employee compensation are excluded
from gross domestic purchases prices,
inflation in each of the past two quarters was about SVfe percent.
The increase in PCE prices picked
up to 5 percent in the first quarter;
the acceleration was accounted for by
energy prices—particularly gasoline
and oil prices, and fuel oil and coal
prices. Increases in the prices of the
nonresidential fixed investment components remained small to moderate;
residential investment prices accelerated to 5l/2 percent. Prices paid by
government again accelerated, but increases in both quarters were affected
by the developments related to employee compensation. Excluding these
developments, prices paid by government increased 3 percent in the
fourth quarter and 3x/2 percent in the
first.

from $15.50 to $17.90.
A substantial decline in personal
tax and nontax payments in the first
quarter largely reflected direct and
indirect effects of the Tax Reform Act
of 1986. Estimates of these effects are
shown in table 9. (For an analysis of
major provisions of the act, see the article "The Tax Reform Act of 1986" in
the March 1987 SURVEY.)
Federal tax payments dropped
sharply, as the impact of the tax law
change more than offset an increase
in taxes due to growth in the taxable
earnings base. A large reduction in
Federal withheld income taxes in the
first quarter came about in two ways.
First, the tax act, on balance, lowered
withholdings by reducing rates, by increasing the personal exemption, and
by replacing the zero bracket amount
with a standard deduction. Second,
underwithholding occurred in the
first quarter because the new Internal
Revenue Service graduated withholding tax tables were applied to the
number of allowances on file for 1986.
The 1986 allowances were used by
many employers in calculating the
initial 1987 withholding because most
employees had not yet filed a new
Form W-4, which is designed to bring
withholding closer to tax liability. In
contrast, the tax act, on balance,
raised declarations (estimated tax
payments) and net settlements (final
tax payments less refunds of the preceding year's taxes) in the first quarter. Declarations and net settlements

1. The estimate of the impact of the Tax Reform Act of 1986
on withheld income taxes differs from that shown in table 1 of
the March 1987 Survey article "The Tax Reform Act of 1986"
because BEA has made an independent estimate to incorporate
the new IRS tax table and to take into account the timing of
filings of the new Form W-4.
2. Estimate of indirect effects of the Tax Reform Act of 1986
on State and local personal tax payments.
NOTE.—The estimates of tax payments in this table are
subject to large uncertainties. They are based on fragmentary
information and thus are subject to larger than usual revision
as actual payments data become available later in 1987.

were reduced to the extent that taxpayers, faced with a 2-year phased reduction in tax rates and the elimination—or limitation—of many deductibles, deferred income and/or accelerated deductions to minimize their tax
liability in 1986; declarations and net
settlements were raised to the extent
that taxpayers shifted realization of
capital gains into 1986 to take advantage of the lower tax rate. In addition,
other tax act effects, particularly the
repeal of the investment tax credit,
raised declarations and net settlements in the first quarter.
State and local tax payments decreased in the first quarter, following
an unusually large increase in the
fourth. Fourth-quarter payments had
included indirect impacts of the
changes in the Federal tax law; payments were raised to the extent that
taxpayers elected to pay State taxes
on capital gains—as well as other
State income taxes—in the fourth
quarter in order to maximize the
State income tax deduction on the
Federal tax return for liability year
1986, when the Federal marginal tax
rates were higher. In the first quarter, payments were lowered to the
extent that taxpayers deferred income
and/or accelerated deductions to minimize their tax liability in 1986.
Reflecting the strength in personal
income and the decrease in personal
tax and nontax payments, disposable
personal x
income (DPI) jumped $69 billion, or 9 /2 percent, in the first quarter, following an increase of $13 billion, or 2 percent, in the fourth. Without the special factors affecting
income and taxes, DPI still would
have accelerated—to a $29 billion increase from a $12% billion increase.
Despite some acceleration in prices,
real DPI improved considerably after
two quarters of deterioration. Real
DPI increased 4 percent in the first
quarter after a IVk-percent decline in
the fourth.
Personal outlays—largely PCE—
were up somewhat more than in the
fourth quarter, but the difference
paled alongside that for DPI. As a
result, personal saving swung sharply—to a $35 billion increase from a
$10 billion decline in the fourth quarter. The personal saving rate climbed
1.1 percentage points to 3.6 percent in
the first quarter.

Corporate Profits in 1986
Profits from current production—
profits before tax plus inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) and capital
consumption adjustment (CCAdj)—increased $20 billion in 1986, the fourth
year of economic recovery and expansion, following increases of $16 billion
in 1985, $51 billion in 1984, and $63y2
billion in 1983 (chart 5).3
A little more than one-half of the
1986 increase—$10% billion—was in
domestic profits of financial corporations, primarily insurance. Domestic
profits of nonfinancial corporations
increased $6 billion, reflecting a
modest increase in real product combined with a small increase in unit
profits (although profit margin—unit
profits as a percent of unit price—
slipped slightly). The increase in unit
profits reflected a slightly larger increase in unit prices than in unit
costs. Profits from the rest of the
world increased $3V2 billion.
3. Definitions of IVA and CCAdj are available in a
number of sources, including U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, The National
Income and Product Accounts of the United States,
1929-82: Statistical Tables (Washington, DC: GPO,
September 1986), pp. x-xi.

Profits before tax (PBT) increased
$14% billion in 1986; profits tax liability, $11 % billion; and profits after
tax, $2% billion. One-half of the relatively sharp increase in tax liability
resulted from retroactive provisions of
the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
The IVA increased $7 billion, from
negative $¥2 billion to $6% billion.
The last time the annual IVA was
positive—indicating a decline in inventory prices—was 1963, and the last
time a positive IVA amounted to
more than 1 percent of PBT was 1938.
The Producer Price Index, which is a
major source for estimating the IVA,
declined 2.9 percent.
A steep drop in petroleum prices
dominated the decline in inventory
prices. As a result, the increase in
IVA was concentrated in industries
with substantial stocks of petroleum
and petroleum products, especially
the refining, public utility, chemicals,
and transportation industries. Together, these four industries accounted for
about 80 percent of the increase in
total IVA.
The CCAdj declined $1% billion, to
$56x/2 billion; it was the first annual
decline since 1980. Two factors contributed importantly to the decline.
First, 1986 was the first year since

April 1987

the enactment of the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981 in which a cohort
of the 5-year-recovery class of assets
was removed from the depreciation
base. Second, prices of capital assets
increased considerably less in 1986
than the average rate at which they
had increased during the period that
the capital stock had been acquired.
Profits by industry.—PET with IVA
and CCAdj is not available by industry; PBT with IVA alone, the best
measure of industry profits available,
increased $21% billion in 1986, to
$244 billion. Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations increased $9%
billion; domestic profits of financial
corporations, $8% billion; and profits
from the rest of the world, $3% billion.
For nonfinancial corporations, profits of communications and utilities increased sharply; manufacturing profits increased $3 billion, with individual manufacturing industries registering changes ranging from negative
$4% billion (petroleum) to $3 billion
(chemicals).
In communications, the increase in
profits was shared by both local
phone companies and long distance
carriers. Profits were boosted by productivity increases and by contributions of subsidiaries in fields ranging
from publishing to finance.
The decline in petroleum prices
contributed to smaller losses in primary metals and to higher profits in
utilities and chemicals—industries
that use large amounts of petroleum
as boiler fuel and feedstock. In pri-




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
mary metals, a major producer's application for bankruptcy protection
also contributed to profits by lowering
costs of debt service and pension funding; in addition, a long strike at a
major steel producer classified in the
petroleum industry probably resulted
in increased demand for steel from
other producers that are classified in
primary metals. In chemicals, profits
were also boosted by higher rates of
capacity utilization and increased foreign demand; profits in 1986 were the
highest since 1981 and followed a very
depressed 1985. Because many refiners are deeply involved in petroleum
exploration and development, the
large drop in crude oil prices was reflected in sharply lower refiners' profits—the fifth consecutive year of
sharp decline. From a level of $36%
billion in 1981, petroleum profits
dropped to $8% billion in 1986.
Profits increased $3 billion in food
manufacturing and declined almost as
much in tobacco manufacturing. As a
result of major merger and acquisition activity, a substantial portion of
the tobacco industry (and tobacco
profits) was moved into the food industry. The increased profits in food
also reflected declines in prices of
farm products. For example, prices received by farmers for food grains
dropped 18 percent; for fruit, 8 percent.
The $8% billion increase in domestic profits of financial corporations
was accounted for largely by property/casualty insurance companies,
which recorded positive profits after 2
years of losses. In 1986, premiums in-

creased 20 percent while claims and
related expenses increased 13 percent,
producing sharply lower underwriting
losses and accounting for most of the
improvement in profits; investment
income (dividends and interest) increased moderately. The largest reductions in underwriting losses were
registered in commercial multiperil,
homeowners' multiperil, and automobile insurance. Premium increases
were sharp for the first of these and
modest for the second; for both types,
claims fell, reflecting an unusually
small number of natural catastrophes.
In automobile insurance, most of the
reduction in underwriting loss was attributable to commercial, as opposed
to private, insurance. The only major
line of property/casualty insurance
not experiencing improved underwriting results was workers' compensation insurance.
The $3% billion increase in rest-ofworld profits reflected both increased
receipts and (more importantly) reduced payments. A decline in receipts
from foreign petroleum subsidiaries of
U.S. corporations was more than
offset by an increase in receipts from
nonpetroleum subsidiaries, especially
those located in Europe and Japan.
The drop in payments was concentrated in the third quarter, and was especially pronounced in petroleum, banking, and wholesale trade subsidiaries
of foreign corporations; by area, payments to the six original members of
the European Economic Communities
and to Canada declined most, more
than accounting for the drop in total
payments.

1. The inventory valuation adjustment (TVA) shown in this table differs from the IVA that
adjusts business incomes. The IVA in this table reflects the mix of methods (first-in, first-out;
last-in, first-out; etc.) underlying book value inventories derived primarily from Census Bureau
statistics. This mix differs from that underlying business income derived primarily from
Internal Revenue Service statistics. Prior to 1973, the two IVA's are the same because
information required for separate estimates is not available.

1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventories
calculated from current-dollar inventories in this table is not the current- dollar change in
business inventories (CBI) component of GNP. The former is the difference between two
inventory stocks, each valued at their respective end-of-quarter prices. The latter is the change
in the physical volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. In addition,
changes calculated from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Business final sales equals final sales less gross product
of households and institutions, government, and rest of the world, and includes a small amount
of final sales by farms.

NOTE.—The fixed-weighted price index and the chain price index, both of which are weighted
averages of the detailed prices used in the deflation of GNP, are measures of price change. In
calculating changes in these indexes, the composition of GNP is held constant. Consequently
these changes reflect only changes in prices. The fixed-weighted price index measures price
change over any period, using as weights the composition of GNP in 1982. The chain price index
measures price change between two consecutive periods, using as weights the composition of

GNP in the first period. The implicit price deflator is a byproduct of the deflation of GNP. It is
derived as the ratio of current- to constant-dollar GNP (multiplied by 100). It it the average of
the detailed prices used in the deflation of GNP, but the prices are weighted by the composition
of GNP in each period. Consequently, the implicit price deflator reflects not only changes in
prices but also changes in the composition of GNP, and its use as a measure of price change
should be avoided.

Errata: National Income and Product Accounts
THE table below shows corrections to estimates for 1983 through 1985
published in the National Income and Product Accounts Tables in the
July 1986 issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. The corrections are
to the distribution of "other" merchandise exports and "other" merchandise imports between durable and nondurable goods in both current and

constant dollars. The corrections do not affect either total "other" merchandise exports or imports or other aggregates such as total merchandise exports or imports, total exports or imports, or gross national product. Price measures and implicit price deflators are also not affected,

Because no data are available to distribute exports and imports of "other" merchandise between durable and nondurable goods (tables 4.3 and 4.4), they are distributed equally.




By MILO O. PETERSON

Gross Product by Industry, 1986
GNP increased 2.5 percent in
1986, about the same as in 1985. All
domestic industries except agriculture, forestry, and fisheries and
mining contributed to the 1986 increase. Agriculture, forestry, and fisheries declined 2.8 percent, in contrast
to a 9.8-percent increase in 1985;
mining declined 9.6 percent, following
a 1.8-percent decline. In mining, the
declines in both years were accounted
for by oil and gas extraction. Real
GNP originating in the rest of the
world declined substantially in both
1986 and 1985.
Among the domestic industries, the
largest percentage increases in 1986
were in retail trade, services, and
wholesale trade. In manufacturing,
which also showed a larger percentage increase than total GNP, durables
and nondurables increased at the
same rate. The increase in durables
was one-half the 1985 increase, and
the increase in nondurables followed
a slight decline.
The industry estimates for 1986 as
well as those for 1984 and 1985 will
be revised as part of the upcoming




annual revision of the national
income and product accounts. The revised estimates and more industry
detail will appear in the National
Income and Product Accounts Tables
in the July 1987 SURVEY OF CURRENT

BUSINESS (tables 6.1 and 6.2).
A summary statement defining
gross product by industry follows this
article. It also describes the sources
and methods used to derive the gross
product estimates.

April 1987

GNP by Industry: Summary of Sources and Methods

An industry's contribution to the Nation's output of goods and services
as measured by GNP is called its gross product originating. An industry's gross product originating, or value added, may be defined in two
equivalent ways. It equals the sum of the industry's factor payments and
its nonfactor costs. It also equals the amount by which the total value of
its output exceeds the value of its consumption of purchased materials
and services.
BEA prepares annual estimates of gross product originating by industry in current and constant dollars. Preliminary estimates are usually
published in the April SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, showing estimates
for nine private industries (with manufacturing broken into durables and
nondurables), government and government enterprises, and the rest of
the world. Revised current- and constant-dollar estimates are usually
published in the July SURVEY, in tables 6.1 and 6.2, respectively, with
considerably more industry detail.
The current-dollar estimates are prepared as distributions by industry
of the components of charges against GNP, the income-side total in the
national income and product account (which differs from GNP by the
statistical discrepancy). The classification underlying the distributions of
private activities is based on the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC).
The presently published estimates of gross product originating by industry are based, beginning in 1947, on the 1972 SIC.
The industrial distribution for private activities is largely based on
data collected either from "establishments" or from "companies" (also
called enterprises or firms). Establishments, as defined for the SIC, are
economic units, generally at a single physical location, where business is
conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed. Companies consist of one or more establishments owned by the same legal
entity or group of affiliated entities. Establishments are classified into an
SIC industry on the basis of their principal product or service, and companies are classified into an SIC industry on the basis of the principal

SIC industry of all their establishments. Because large multiestablishment companies typically own establishments that are classified in different SIC industries, industrial distributions of the same item for establishments and companies can be significantly different.
The estimates of gross product originating by industry can be considered to be based on establishment data. For some components of charges
against GNP, the source data provide establishment-industry distributions. For a number of other components, the source data—Internal Revenue Service tabulations of business tax returns—provide company-industry distributions. For the noncorporate parts of those components,
BEA assumes that these distributions are equivalent to an establishment-industry distribution, because noncorporate businesses generally
operate only one establishment. For the corporate parts except net interest, BEA has developed procedures to convert company-industry distributions to establishment-industry distributions. For corporate net interest,
there is no adequate conceptual basis for the conversion, and conversion
is not attempted. For the few components for which the source data do
not provide either industry distribution, BEA has developed establishment-industry distributions from related sources. Table A shows the
major source data for the aggregate estimates of each component of
charges against GNP, whether the industrial distribution (if one is available) is of establishments or companies, and information about conversion to a distribution by establishment industry.
The constant-dollar estimates are prepared in one of three ways—
double deflation, extrapolation, or direct deflation—depending on the
availability of source data. In the double-deflation procedure, constantdollar gross product originating is derived as the difference between constant-dollar gross output less constant-dollar consumption of intermediate materials and services. In the extrapolation procedure, constantdollar gross product originating is derived by extrapolating the base-year
value by an indicator series. Among the indicator series commonly used

are constant-dollar gross output, the quantity of goods or services sold,
and the number of employees or hours worked. In the direct deflation
procedure, constant-dollar gross product originating is derived by deflating the current-dollar value. Double deflation is the preferred procedure
because both output and consumption are deflated using appropriate
price indexes. The extrapolation procedure will yield the same results as

27

double deflation when the rates of change in both constant-dollar gross
output and consumption are the same. The direct deflation procedure
will yield the correct constant-dollar measure when these rates of change
are the same and when the deflator adequately represents changes in
both output and purchases prices. Table B shows the procedures used for
each industry.

Plant and Equipment Expenditures,
First and Second Quarters and Second Half of 1987
BUSINESS plans to spend $390.8
billion for new plant and equipment
(P&E) in 1987, 3.0 percent more than
in 1986, according to the BEA survey
conducted in January through March
(tables 1 and 2, and chart 6).1 Spending was $379.3 billion in 1986, 2.0 percent less than in 1985.
1. The survey covers expenditures for new facilities
and for repair, expansion, or replacement of existing
facilities that are chargeable to fixed asset accounts
and for which depreciation or amortization accounts
are ordinarily maintained. The survey excludes expenditures for land and mineral rights; maintenance
and repair that are not capitalized; used plant and
equipment, including that purchased or acquired
through mergers or acquisitions; assets located in foreign countries; residential structures; and a few other
items.
The estimates presented are universe totals of domestic P&E expenditures for all industries surveyed
quarterly, which account for nearly 90 percent of capital spending by U.S. nonfarm business. Sample data
are compiled from reports on a company basis, not
from separate reports for plants or establishments. A
company's capital expenditures are assigned to a

The latest estimate of planned is larger than that reported in the
spending for 1987 is $6.6 billion previous survey primarily because eshigher than that reported in Decem- timates of 1987 planned spending
ber 1986 for the survey conducted in were revised up; 1986 spending was
October and November. The previous slightly lower than had been planned.
Real spending—capital spending adsurvey showed planned spending of

Estimates of real spending are calcuP&E expenditures differ from nonresidential fixed
investment, which is a component of GNP, in type of
lated from survey data on currentdetail, data sources, coverage, and timing. For further
dollar spending and from estimated
information, see pages 24-25 of the February 1985
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
2. The estimates of planned spending have been adjusted for systematic reporting biases. The bias adjustments are calculated by industry for each planning
horizon. For a given time period, the bias-adjustment
factor is the median of the ratios of planned to actual
expenditures for that time period in the preceding 8
years. Before adjustments, 1987 planned spending was
$390.82 billion for "all industries," $152.34 billion for
manufacturing, and $238.48 billion for nonmanufacturing industries surveyed quarterly.

1. Estimates are based on planned capital expenditures reported by business in January
through March 1987. The planned expenditures are adjusted for systematic biases in reporting.
The adjustment procedures are described in the February 1985 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
Before bias adjustment, current-dollar plans for 1987 were $390.82 billion for "all industries,"
$152.34 billion for manufacturing, and $238.48 billion for nonmanufacturing industries surveryed
quarterly.

billion for total nonmanufacturing, and $50.18 billion for nonmanufacturing industries surveyed
annually. The constant-dollar plans for 1986 were $432.62 billion for total nonfarm business,
$280.95 billion for total nonmanufacturing, and $49.60 billion for nonmanufacturing industries
surveyed annually. New estimates for the nonmanufacturing industries surveyed only annually
will be released in June.
8. "All industries" plus the part of nonmanufacturing that is surveyed annually.
9. Consists of real estate; professional services; membership organizations and social services;

10. Procedures for preparing constant-dollar estimates are described in the February 1985
SURVEY. To estimate real spending plans, BEA adjusts the survey results for assumed price
changes. Estimates for the third quarter of 1986 have been revised.

capital goods price deflators developed
by BE A.3 The capital goods deflator
for "all industries" is projected by
BEA to increase 1.2 percent in 1987,
following a 1.1-percent increase in
1986; the deflator increased 0.5 percent in 1985.
Survey respondents, on the other
hand, expect an increase of 3.7 percent in prices of capital goods purchased in 1987; they had expected a
4.2-percent increase for 1986 in the
year-earlier survey (table 4). Respondents have consistently expected larger
capital goods price changes than were
indicated by the BEA capital goods
price deflator for "all industries." In
12 of the 16 years for which data are
available, respondents' expectations of
capital goods price increases have exceeded changes in the capital goods
price deflator by an average of more
than 2x/2 percentage points.
Current-dollar spending in the
fourth quarter of 1986 increased 3.8
percent, to an annual rate of $388.7
billion, following a 0.4-percent decline
in the third; fourth-quarter spending
was 1.4 percent lower than anticipated in the previous survey. Plans reported in the latest survey indicate a
1.2-percent decline in the first quarter
of 1987, a 3.2-percent increase in the
second, and a 0.3-percent increase
from the first to the second half of
1987.
Real spending increased 3.6 percent
in the fourth quarter of 1986, following a 1.1-percent decline in the third.
Estimates indicate a 1.6-percent de3. Specifically, the current-dollar figures reported by
survey respondents are adjusted using implicit price
deflators derived from unpublished detailed national
income and product account estimates of current- and
constant-dollar nonresidential fixed investment (adjusted to a P&E basis). To estimate planned real
spending, the implicit price deflator for each industry
is projected using the deflator's growth rate over the
latest four quarters for which it is available.




cline in the first quarter of 1987, a
2.8-percent increase in the second,
and little change from the first to the
second half of 1987.
The 3.6-percent real spending increase in the fourth quarter of 1986
follows declines in the first three
quarters. From the fourth quarter of
1985 to the third quarter of 1986, real
spending declined 7.3 percent—the
first decline since the 15.2-percent,
six-quarter decline associated with
the 1981-82 business cycle contraction
(chart 7). If plans for 1987 are realized, second-half real spending will be
4.2 percent lower than the record
high in the fourth quarter of 1985.
The increase in capital spending in
the fourth quarter of 1986 and the
upward revisions in 1987 spending
plans occurred when indicators of

future investment activity were generally improving. Corporate profits,
both before and after tax, increased in
the last three quarters of 1986 after
declining in the first. A related measure of corporate ability to finance
capital expenditures, corporate net
cash flow, increased in the third and
fourth quarters of 1986, after declining in the first and second. Interest
rates, as measured by Moody's corporate bond yield, registered their tenth
consecutive quarterly decline in the
fourth quarter. Real final sales of
GNP, a measure of overall demand,
continued to increase in the fourth
quarter; the manufacturing capacity
utilization rate increased slightly in
the fourth quarter, but remained
below its level of a year earlier. Other
indicators were mixed in the fourth
quarter. Both new orders of durable
goods and new orders of nondefense

Manufacturing Programs
In manufacturing, current-dollar
spending increased 4.9 percent in the
fourth quarter of 1986, to an annual
rate of $146.0 billion, following a 1.7percent decline in the third. Durable
goods increased 2.0 percent in the
fourth quarter, and nondurables increased 7.8 percent. Manufacturers
plan a 2.1-percent decline for the first
quarter of 1987, a 3.1-percent increase
for the second, and a 0.4-percent decline from the first to the second half
of 1987.
For the year 1987, manufacturers
plan to spend $144.9 billion, 1.5 percent more than in 1986; in the previous survey, a planned decline of 2.0
percent was reported. Manufacturers'
spending declined 7.0 percent in 1986,
following a 10.6-percent increase in
1985.
Durable goods industries plan a 2.2percent increase in 1987. Planned increases in blast furnaces-steel works,
nonferrous metals, electrical machinery, stone-clay-glass, "other durables/5
and fabricated metals more than
offset planned declines in aircraft,
motor vehicles, and machinery
(except electrical).
The
largest
planned increase, 39.3 percent, is in
blast furnaces-steel works; it follows
an 18.9-percent decline in 1986 and
may be related to a provision in the
Tax Reform Act of 1986 that allows
steelmakers to carry forward unused
investment tax credits. The largest
planned decline, 11.2 percent, is in
aircraft; it follows a 10.2-percent increase in 1986 and may be related to
the 1986 decline in profits and a new
military procurement policy that
places more responsibility for research and design costs on defense
contractors, thereby reducing funds
available for capital expenditures.
Nondurable goods industries plan a
0.8-percent increase in 1987. Planned
increases in "other nondurables/' textiles, food-beverage, and chemicals
more than offset planned declines in
petroleum, rubber, and paper. The
largest planned increase, 17.1 percent,
is in "other nondurables"; it follows a
10.8-percent increase in 1986. Within
"other nondurables," the largest

"other" functions significantly outweigh planned increases in both the
marketing and the refining and petrochemicals functions (table 5).
Real spending by manufacturers is
estimated to change little in 1987; a
1.3-percent increase in durables offsets a 0.9-percent decline in nondurables. In 1986, real spending declined
8.3 percent—5.5 percent in durables
and 10.6 percent in nondurables.

each function. Before adjustments, plans for 1987 were $17.43

planned increase is in printing-publishing, which is continuing to apply
new computer technologies to many
phases of its operations. The largest
planned decline, 10.6 percent, is in petroleum; it follows a 32.1-percent decline in 1986. Within petroleum manufacturing, planned 1987 declines in
the transportation, production, and

Nonmanufacturing Programs
In nonmanufacturing,
currentdollar spending increased 3.1 percent
in the fourth quarter of 1986, to an
annual rate of $242.7 billion, following a 0.5-percent increase in the third.
Nonmanufacturing industries plan a
0.7-percent decline for the first quarter of 1987, a 3.2-percent increase for
the second, and a 0.8-percent increase
from the first to the second half of
1987.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

For the year 1987, nonmanufacturing industries plan to spend $245.9
billion, 4.0 percent more than in 1986;
in the previous survey, a planned increase of 2.7 percent was reported.
Nonmanufacturing industries' spending increased 1.2 percent in 1986, following an 8.4-percent increase in
1985.
For 1987, planned increases in
"other transportation," "gas and
other utilities," "commercial and
other," and air transportation more
than offset planned declines in
mining, railroads, and electric utilities. The large planned increase of 9.9
percent in "other transportation" follows a 4.7-percent decline in 1986.
Within "other transportation," the
largest planned increase is in trucking, where deregulation has led to
heightened competition and efforts by
many firms to expand their services.
The large planned increase of 8.9 percent in "gas and other utilities" follows a 1.5-percent decline in 1986.
Within "gas and other utilities," the
largest planned increase is in "other
utilities," which includes water utilities and environmental control firms;
many of these firms may be expanding and modernizing in response to
recent legislation regarding hazardous waste disposal and drinking water
protection. The largest planned decline, 10.2 percent, is in mining; it follows a 29.2-percent decline in 1986.
Within mining, the largest planned
decline is in oil and gas extraction
and may reflect current relatively low
oil prices and uncertainty about
future oil prices.
Real spending by nonmanufacturing industries is estimated to increase
2.8 percent in 1987; it increased 0.5

percent in 1986. An estimated increase in "commercial and other"
more than offsets estimated declines
in mining, public utilities, and transportation.
