the BUSINESS SITUATION
THE fourth

quarter of 1982 was the
fifth consecutive quarter of poor economic performance. Nearly complete
information indicates that motor vehicle production was down sharply
(table 1). Less complete information
suggests that other production in
total remained flat.1
• Real personal consumption expenditures (PCE) increased about 2%
percent at an annual rate. In goods,
the increase was more than accounted
for by motor vehicles; as discussed in
the following section on "Motor Vehicles/' sales were boosted by manufacturers' interest rate subsidies. All
other categories of goods except food
were flat or down, continuing their
lackluster performance. Services registered only a small increase. An increase in * 'other services" was largely
due to commissions of security and
commodity brokers; a decline in gas
and electric services reflected unusually mild weather.
• Although information on fixed investment other than residential construction is sketchy, it is clear that
fixed investment registered another
substantial drop. In producers' durable equipment, most major categories
again declined—the nonvehicle cate1. The major source data that shed light on fourthquarter GNP are limited to 1 or 2 months of the quarter, and in some cases are preliminary. These data
are: For personal consumption expenditures (PCE), October and November retail sales, unit sales of new
autos through the first 10 days of December, and sales
of new trucks for October and November; for nonresidential fixed investment, the same data for autos and
trucks as for PCE, October construction put in place,
October manufacturers' shipments of equipment, and
business investment plans for the quarter; for residential investment, October construction put in place, and
October and November housing starts; for change in
business inventories, October book values for manufacturing and trade, and unit auto inventories for October and November; for net exports of goods and services, October merchandise trade; for government purchases of goods and services, Federal unified budget
outlays for October, State and local construction put
in place for October, and State and local employment
for October and November; and for GNP prices, the
Consumer Price Index for October and the Producer
Price Index for October and November.




gories for the fourth consecutive quarter. Nonresidential structures continued flat. An increase in office buildings offset declines in several other
categories, including oil well drilling.
The article on the quarterly BEA
plant and equipment survey, which
appears later in this issue, puts the
fourth-quarter decline in capital
spending into the context of past developments and plans for 1983.
• Residential investment was up
moderately. As described in the following section on "Housing and Mortgage Markets," declining interest
rates have spurred activity: mortgage
commitments, sales, and housing
starts, as well as construction put in
place.
• Little information is yet available
about the other components of final
sales—net exports and government
purchases. It appears that although
exports and imports both were down,
exports were down more. Weakness in
net exports continued to reflect depressed economic conditions abroad
and appreciation of the dollar. The
major factor in government purchases
was a step-up in the price-support operations of the Commodity Credit Corporation, as farmers responded to low

market prices for crops by putting
substantial amounts—mainly of soybeans, corn, and cotton—under loan.
• For the change in business inventories, reasonably complete information is available only for motor vehicles. Motor vehicle inventories were
run down sharply in the fourth quarter; the swing from moderate accumulation in the third quarter to liquidation in the fourth made a negative
contribution to the change in GNP. If
it is assumed that other inventories
contributed little to the change, inventories in total more than accounted for the decline in real GNP.
Prices and wages
With the fourth-quarter increase in
the GNP fixed-weighted price index
at about a 5-percent annual rate, the
quarterly increases for the year were
all in the range of 4 to 6 percent,
down substantially from 8% to 10 percent in 1981. The Federal pay raise,
which is reflected in the prices of employee services purchased by the Federal Government, accounted for 0.4
percentage points of the fourth-quarter increase. Prices of PCE were up
about 1 point more than the average
of GNP prices, but less than in the

third quarter. PCE energy prices increased about one-half as much as the
18% percent registered in the third
quarter. The major factor in the
smaller increase in energy prices was
gasoline, where cash discount programs held down prices. PCE food
prices increased at about the same
rate as in the third quarter—2 percent. For fixed investment, prices
were up several points less than the
average of GNP prices. Prices of nonresidential structures and of producers' durable equipment increased less
than in the third quarter, and prices
of residential investment declined
after a little change.
Prices of GNP less food and
energy—an indicator of the underlying rate of inflation—also increased
about 5 percent at an annual rate.
The range of quarterly increases in
1982 was 5 to 6 percent, down from
8% to 9% percent in 1981.
Deceleration is also visible in wage
rate increases, which moderated further in the second half of 1982. The
Index of Hourly Earnings increased
about 3% percent at an annual rate in
the fourth quarter and 6 percent in
the third, compared with increases of
6 ^-percent in the first half of the
year and of 7% to 8% percent in the
latter half of 1981 (table 2). A slow-

down in compensation—which, in
addition to straight-time wages and
salaries, includes employer costs of
supplementary benefits such as vacation and sick leave, health insurance,
and social security—paralleled that in
wages. The Employment Cost Index
for private industry workers decelerated from year-over-year increases of
9 to 10 percent in the latter half of
1981 to a 7-percent increase in September 1982 (table 3).
Recent major collective bargaining
settlements—those covering units
with at least 1,000 workers—suggest
that it is likely that the lower rates of
increase will persist. Settlements in
the second half of 1982 provided for
moderate wage increases in 1983.
Many of these settlements involve
multi-year contracts, and they often
set standards for wage rates in the
same or related industries. Wage-rate
adjustments to existing contracts
were down again in the second half of
1982 due to negotiated deferrals or
cancellations of scheduled increases
in troubled industries or firms and
due to decreases in cost-of-living adjustments (COLA's). (Over one-half of
workers covered by major contracts
have cost-of-living protection.) The
Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is
the basis for most COLA's, increased

December 1982

5 percent from October 1981 to October 1982, compared with 10 percent
and 12% percent the 2 previous years.
In some cases, increases in the CPI
were not large enough to trigger any
adjustments; in others, the adjustments were reduced. In addition,
COLA reviews that had been scheduled were eliminated by terms agreed
to under several contract reopenings.
Personal income
Personal income was up $30 billion
in the fourth quarter (table 4).2 The
composition of the increase bears the
imprint of several significant developments in the economy—in employment, hours, and unemployment; in
farm prices; and in interest rates.
Wage and salary disbursements were
essentially flat. In manufacturing,
wages were down sharply, largely due
to declines in employment and average weekly hours in durable goods
manufacturing. Wages in other commodity-producing industries and in
distributive industries were down as
well. In services and in government
and government enterprises, they
were up. In services, however, the increase was less than in the third
quarter; the increase in government
included $2% billion for a Federal pay
raise.
In proprietors' income, the farm
component registered an increase
that was more than accounted for by
subsidies. The increase in subsidies, in
the form of deficiency and diversion
payments by the Commodity Credit
Corporation, amounted to $8% billion;
initially these payments were to be
made on a schedule that extended
into the first quarter of 1983. Receipts
for marketings of both crops and livestock were down; prices paid to farmers dropped sharply, and for crops
more than offset the effect of a sharp
increase in volume.
Personal interest income increased
only $1 billion, down from increases
of $6 to $12% billion earlier in the
year. In 1981, increases had been even
larger and interest had been the fastest growing component of personal
income. The deceleration was due to
the drop in interest rates on assets
held by persons.
2. Quarterly estimates in the national income and
product accounts are expressed at seasonally adjusted
annual rates, and quarterly changes in them are differences between these rates.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

December 1982

Transfer payments again increased
by an unusally large amount—$16 billion. The fourth quarter included a
sharp step-up in unemployment insurance benefits and smaller cost-ofliving adjustments than in the third
quarter.
Disposable personal income increased $25 billion, or 4% percent at
an annual rate, down from an increase of $46% billion, or 9 percent, in
the third quarter. (In real terms, disposable income was down, after a 1%
percent increase in the third quarter.)
The smaller increase in disposable
income in the fourth quarter reflected
not only the smaller increase in personal income, but also the fact that

personal taxes increased after a decline. A $5 billion fourth-quarter increase in taxes was the net of a $3 billion decline in Federal taxes—the further effects of the Economic Recovery
Tax Act of 1981—and an $8 billion increase due to an increase in the tax
base. With a larger increase in spending than in disposable personal
income, personal saving declined, and

high levels of recent quarters.

ber but were above the third-quarter
level.
At the beginning of the fourth
quarter, domestic automakers faced a
large inventory overhang due to an
excessive carryover of 1982 models.
Fourth-quarter production of new
models was reduced sharply to 4.7
million units (seasonally adjusted
annual rate) from 6.1 million in the
third quarter. Total domestic car inventories declined from 1,418,000 (sea-

Motor vehicles
Motor vehicle output dropped $8
billion (1972 dollars) in the fourth
quarter, after increasing $% billion in
the third (see table 1). Auto output
dropped following an increase, and
truck output registered another substantial decline. Auto sales to domestic purchasers were up, largely due to
interest rate subsidies on carried-over
1982 models. Truck sales were about
the same as in the third quarter.
Motor vehicle inventories declined
sharply as stocks of 1982 model cars
and trucks were liquidated.
Total new car sales increased to
about 8.6 million (seasonally adjusted
annual rate)—their highest level in
more than a year—from 7.8 million in
the third quarter (chart 1). Sales of
both domestic and imported cars increased. Imported car sales were up
from 2.2 to about 2.5 million, as sales
of both Japanese and West German
cars increased sharply. Sales of several Japanese makes were boosted by
various dealer incentive programs.
The share of total sales accounted for
by imported cars matched the 28%
percent registered in the third quarter.
Domestic car sales moved up to
about 6.2 million from 5.5 million in
the third quarter. Sales of all size categories were up: The largest increases
were in intermediate and compact
cars. Sales were especially strong in
November when the major automakers, through their financial subsidiaries, subsidized auto installment
loan rates at less than 11 percent. For
the most part, these subsidies applied
to 1982 models, although some 1983
models were included. The subsidy
programs continued through December, but their impact on sales lessened as stocks of 1982 models dwindled. Sales in the first 10-day period
in December were down from Novem-

sonally adjusted) at the end of the
third quarter to about 1,220,000 at the
end of November. The inventory-sales
ratio fell from 3.2 in the third quarter
to 2.1 in November, a level close to
that considered desirable by the industry. As a result of the restoration
of the inventory-sales balance, a
pickup in production has been scheduled for the first quarter of 1983.
Total new truck sales changed little
from the 2.5 million units (seasonally
adjusted annual rate) registered in
the third quarter. Sales of domestic
light trucks (up to 10,000 pounds) remained at 1.9 million, and domestic
"other" truck (over 10,000 pounds)
sales slumped further to a record low
of 0.16 million. Interest rate subsidies
on light trucks and vans boosted sales
sharply in November from a very low
level in October. As was the case for
autos, the subsidies were designed to
clear out an excessive carryover of
1982 models. Production again was
cut back sharply in the fourth quarter. Sales of imported trucks were up
substantially, to the highest level in
nearly 3 years.
Housing and mortgage markets
Real residential investment was up
in the fourth quarter, with both
single- and multifamily construction
sharing in the increase. The "other"
component of residential investment—which includes additions and
alterations, brokers' commissions on
the sale of new and used residences,
and mobile home sales—also increased.
To October-November, both single
and multifamily housing starts increased almost 50 percent from a
trough a year ago (chart 2). Threefourths of the increase in multifamily
starts occurred in the third quarter
under the impetus of government programs. More than one-half of the increase in singles occurred in OctoberNovember, in response to declining
interest rates and improved home
sales. The prime rate—to which many
construction loans are tied—fell
sharply during the third quarter and
continued down in the fourth (chart
3). Sales of new one-family houses
turned up in August, jumped in September, and maintained the higher
level in October. At October's sales

Profits of domestic financial corporations increased $2% billion in both
the second and third quarters, reaching $24% billion. The increase was accounted for by an increase in the
profits of commercial banks and decreases in the losses registered by
mutual savings banks and savings
and loan associations. The reduced
losses reflected the impact of decreasing interest rates, which lowered the
costs of attracting deposits; the reduced losses occurred although there
was a continuing excess of withdrawals over deposits. Profits of Federal
Reserve banks—which are treated as
part of corporate business in the national income and product accounts—
decreased slightly, as the effect of a
decline in the average interest rate
received on holdings of short-term
Federal debt instruments outweighed
the effect of an increase in total holdings of assets.
Profits from the rest of the world
decreased $2 billion to $16% billion in
the third quarter, following an increase of $1% billion. A decrease in
the profits of foreign manufacturing
operations of U.S. corporations was
larger than an increase in the profits
of the foreign petroleum operations of
U.S. corporations. The decrease was
centered in Western Europe, where
most economies are in recessions.
Other measures of profits.—Profits
before tax increased $8% billion to
$180% billion in the third quarter,
after having been unchanged in the
second. These profits exclude the inventory valuation adjustment (IVA)
and capital consumption adjustment
(CCAdj).3 Inventory profits—the IVA
with sign reversed—increased $1 billion to $10% billion in the third quarter, following an increase of $5 billion. Profits attributable to underdepreciation—the CCAdj with sign reversed—decreased $3 billion in both
the second and third quarters, reaching $4 billion. Somewhat more than
$2 billion of each decrease in the
CCAdj was due to provisions of the
Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981,
which have progressively reduced
profits attributable to underdeprecia3. The IVA and CCAdj are defined in National
Income and Product Accounts of the United States,
1929-1976: Statistical Tables, U.S. Department of
Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis (Washington, D.C.: U.S. GPO, 1981).




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
tion. The decreases were also consistent with rates of inflation in prices
for fixed nonresidential investment
that were lower than those experienced over the service lives of the
assets: Such lower rates of inflation
lead to less negative values for the
portion of the CCAdj that revalues
fixed capital used up in production at
replacement cost from historical cost.
Disposition of profits.—Corporate
profits taxes, which are levied on
profits including inventory profits and
profits attributable to underdepreciation, increased $5% billion to $61 billion in the second quarter, following a
decrease of $1% billion. The increase
resulted from both higher profits and
an increase in the share going to Federal taxes. Only a small portion of the
increase in profits taxes resulted from
provisions of the Tax Equity and
Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982. The
increased share reflected reduced importance of tax credits relative to pretax profits.
Dividends continued their uptrend
in the third quarter, increasing $1 billion to $70% billion, following an increase of $% billion in the second
quarter. Undistributed profits increased $2 billion to $49 billion in the
third quarter, following an increase of
$1 billion.

Unemployment: An Overview
In November, 12 million persons in
the United States were unemployed.4
That level is 50 percent more than
that in the third quarter of 1981, the
low prior to the current period of
weakness in economic activity, and is
double that in the second quarter of
1979, the low prior to the 1980 recession. As a percentage of the civilian
labor force, unemployed persons were
at a postwar high of 10.8 percent in
November, up from 7.4 percent in the
third quarter of 1981 and from 5.7
percent in the second quarter of 1979.
A 12-million level is of historic interest because that is the level that was
averaged during the worst years of
the Great Depression, when, of
course, it was a much larger partabout 25 percent—of the civilian
labor force.

are used in the following discussion.

December 1982

Chart 5 shows a number of unemployment rates prepared by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to
supplement the "official" unemployment rate just mentioned. These summary measures, which are based on
information collected for BLS by the
Census Bureau in the monthly Current Population Survey (commonly referred to as the household survey),
are designed to meet a variety of analytical purposes by defining unemployment and the associated labor
force in different ways.5 The official
unemployment rate—designated USis based on the definition of unemployed persons as those aged 16 and
over who did not work during the
week the survey was conducted, who
were available to work (except for
temporary illness), and who either (1)
had made specific efforts to find a job
within the prior 4 weeks, (2) were
waiting to be recalled to a job from
which they had been laid off, or (3)
were waiting to report to a new wage
and salary job within 30 days.
Two of the alternatives shown in
the chart are more comprehensive
than the official unemployment rate.
U6, the rate for full-time workers
plus one-half of employed part-time
workers, is based on the rationale
that persons involuntarily working
part-time (34 hours or less) should be
counted as at least partly unemployed
and that the weights assigned to unemployed persons should reflect
whether they were looking for parttime or full-time work. U7 is the rate
for workers as defined in U6 plus discouraged workers, that is, those who
say they want a job but are not looking because they think they cannot
get a job. The addition of discouraged
workers is based on the rationale that
their situation is essentially the same
as that of unemployed workers.
U4 through Ul are more narrowly
defined, referring, respectively, to unemployed full-time workers (representing those strongly attached to the
labor force), unemployed persons 25
years and over (representing experienced workers settled into an occupa5. The Current Population Survey is a sample
survey of about 60,000 households. The sample is selected to reflect the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years of age and older. The data collected are
based on activity or status reported for the calendar
week that contains the 12th day of the month.

tion), job losers (because income loss
for this group, many of whom are
heads of households, stems from
forces outside their control), and persons unemployed 15 weeks or longer
(because substantial hardship is often
a result of long-term unemployment).
As is clear from the chart, the pattern of these summary measures is
similar. With the exception of the
rate for long-term unemployment
(Ul), which tends to lag the others by
one or more quarters, all rates fell
only slightly during the short, weak
recovery from the 1980 recession
before turning up sharply in the third
or fourth quarters of 1981. Previous
highs—all set in the 1973-75 recession—were surpassed in the first half
of 1982. By November, all rates were
well above their previous highs. Ul
was 4.1 percent, double its 1981 low
and approaching four times its 1979
low. U6 was 13.9 percent, up 4.6 percentage points from 1981 and 6.7
points from 1979. (Unlike the other
measures, U7 is available only quarterly, so that the latest figure is for
the third quarter. It was then 14.1
percent, up 3.9 points from its 1981
low and 6.1 points from its 1979 low.)




Selected unemployment rates.—The
unemployment situation that has resulted from the weakness in economic
activity—most immediately from that
of the last year and a half but also
from that of the last 3 years—can be
profiled more fully with unemployment rates by demographic characteristic, occupation, industry, and residence of the unemployed. Chart 6 presents some of these unemployment
rates.
For each major age-sex and raceethnic group, unemployment rates
were at postwar highs in November.
As shown in the top panel of the
chart, throughout 1982 the rate for
adult men was above that for adult
women. By November the rate for
men was 10.1 percent, up 4.1 percentage points from the third quarter of
1981. This increase is larger than
those recorded in all postwar recessions except that in 1948-49. For
women, the rate was 9.1 percent, up
2.4 points—about the average increase for a recesssion. The unemployment rate for men increases more
than that for women in most recessions, but it is unusual for the rate
for men to increase so much that it

exceeds the rate for women. Teenagers, for whom the rate declined in
only two quarters in the past 3 years,
experienced the sharpest percentagepoint increase of the age-sex groups—
up 5.1 points, to 24.2 percent.
The unemployment rate for blacks
also had shown little improvement as
a result of the recovery in 1981. From
15.8 percent in the third quarter of
1981, the rate moved up to 20.2 percent in November 1982. For persons
of Hispanic origin, the rate was 15.7
percent in November, up 5.9 points,
and for whites, 9.7 percent, up 3.3
points. The spreads between the rates
for whites and for others widened, as
is typical of a recession.
The middle panel of the chart
shows that blue-collar workers experienced the sharpest increase in their
unemployment rate from a level that
was already the highest of the four
major occupational groups. The bluecollar rate was up 6.8 percentage
points to 16.5 percent in November.
Within that occupational group, operatives (except transport) were affected
most; their unemployment rate was
21.2 percent in the fourth quarter,
double its 1981 low. (This diverse
group of operatives includes occupations such as assemblers, as in the
automobile industry; inspectors in
manufacturing; packers and wrappers; and welders.) The rates for
transportation equipment operatives,
craft and kindred workers, and nonfarm laborers ranged from 12 to 19
percent in November, each up 5 to 6
points. In contrast, the rate for whitecollar workers, the lowest rate, increased the least—up only 1.6 points
to 5.6 percent. Within that group, the
rates for professional and technical
workers and for managers and administrators both increased about 1 point
to just under 4 percent; the rates for
sales and clerical workers both increased more, to 6.3 percent and 7.9
percent, respectively.
The sharp run-up in the unemployment rates for men and for bluecollar workers can be traced to the industries most affected by the weakness in economic activity (bottom
panel). Among nonagricultural private wage and salary workers, the
highest November unemployment
rates, and also the sharpest increases
from 1981 lows, were for workers last
employed in construction (21.9 per-

cent in November), mining (18.0 per-

Unemployment Rates by Age and Sex, cent), and durable goods manufacturing (17.1 percent). In construction,
Occupation, and Industry

which had an above-average rate in
1981 (and also in 1979), the increase
was 6.0 percentage points. For mining
and durable goods manufacturing,
which had below-average rates in
1981 (and about average rates in
1979), the increases were 12.1 and 10.0
points, respectively. These three are
among the goods-producing industries—roughly the blue-collar industries—where the labor force is predominately made up of men. November rates for workers last employed in
transportation and public utilities (8.7
percent) and in finance and services
(7.7 percent) were the lowest, but nevertheless at record levels.
For the 10 most populous States,
the household survey sample is large
enough to permit preparation of State
unemployment rates.6 The range of
November 1982 rates was from highs
of 17.2 percent for Michigan and 14.2
percent for Ohio to lows of 7,6 percent
for Texas and 7.2 percent for Massachusetts. Michigan and Ohio registered the largest increases, both 5.8
percentage points, from lows in the
second quarter of 1981. Massachusetts
registered the smallest increase, 1.7
points, from a low in the fourth quarter of 1980; most of the increase occurred before 1982. The increase for
Texas was 2.6 points (the third smallest, after New Jersey), and almost all
of it occurred in 1982. These differences can be traced in part to the industrial makeup of the States. Michigan and Ohio have heavy concentrations in durable goods manufacturing
industries, such as automobiles and
primary and fabricated metals, that
have been especially hard hit. In Massachusetts, although there is a concentration in durable goods manufacturing, it is in rapid-growth high technology industries. In Texas, oil and
gas extraction and petroleum refining, and industries related to them,
are important; they were adversely
affected in 1982 by recession-induced
cutbacks in energy use and lower
prices for petroleum.

Reasons for unemployment—In the
household survey, unemployed persons are categorized according to
whether they lost their last job by
layoff or by permanent separation,
voluntarily left a job, entered the
labor force for the first time, or reentered the labor force. As is typical of
recessions, the percentage of total unemployed persons who lost their jobs
increased. However, the percentage
reached in November was unusually
high—62 percent, 4 points above the
previous record in 1973-75. The percentage had dropped to only about 50
percent in 1981, compared with about
40 percent during most recoveries.
(The unemployment rate for job
losers—U2 in chart 5, was 6.7 percent
in November, up 3 points from its
1981 low and more than 4 points from
its 1979 low.) In contrast, the percentage of job leavers dropped to a record
low in November—6.5 percent. This
percentage was down about 5 points
from its 1981 high and about 8 points
from its 1979 high.
Duration of unemployment.—Since
the fourth quarter of 1981, when the
increase in the number of unemployed brought the measures of average duration down, the mean and
median number of consecutive weeks
of unemployment increased sharply.
The mean increased from 13.2 to 17.2
weeks by November, equaling the
highs following the 1973-75 and 1960-

December 1982

61 recessions. However, because the
duration measures tend to lag turnarounds in the economy (the high following the 1973-75 recession occurred
about 1 year after the 1975 trough)
they are likely to move even higher.
Duration lengthened as the percentage of the total number of unemployed who had been without jobs 15
weeks or longer increased sharply. In
November, over one-third of the unemployed had been so for at least 15
weeks, compared with lows of onequarter in 1981 and one-fifth in 1979.
(As noted earlier, the unemployment
rate for this group (Ul) moved up to a
record high in November.)
Involuntary part-time and discouraged workers.—Neither persons working part-time involuntarily—that is,
for economic reasons such as slack
work, material shortages, or inability
to find full-time jobs—nor discouraged
workers are counted as unemployed.
The number of nonagricultural involuntary part-timers increased over the
period since 1979: There was no decline following the 1980 recession and
a sharp increase beginning in late
1981 (table 5). Their number as a percentage of those at work increased to
7.2 percent from 3.7 percent in the
third quarter of 1979 and from 4.6
percent in the second quarter of 1981.
The number of discouraged workers
followed roughly the same pattern as
that of involuntary part-timers. By
the third quarter of 1982 (the latest
period for which data are available),
there were 1.6 million persons classified as discouraged workers, double
the number in 1979. About 75 percent
of discouraged workers gave job
market-related, rather than personal,
reasons: they had looked unsuccessfully for a job, or thought that there
were no jobs available in their line or

area. As suggested by the widening of
the spreads between U5 and U6 and
between U6 and U7, respectively, the
increase in the number of persons in
these groups has been a significant
aspect of the underutilization of resources that has characterized this
prolonged period of weakness in economic activity.

A Stage-of-Processing Price Sector for the BEA
Quarterly Econometric Model"
By Albert A. Hirsch
This paper, BEA Working Paper 1, presents the equations that constitute, before some recent modifications, the
price-wage sector of the BEA quarterly econometric
model. Most of the price equations fall within a "stage-ofprocessing" (SP) framework, i.e., a framework in which
energy and "basic materials" prices explain producer finished goods prices and these prices, in turn, explain implicit price deflators for final demands. The impetus for
the development of the SP subsector, as described in Section I of the paper, was the poor forecasting record during
the 1970's of the typical aggregative price function incorporated in econometric models. These functions were
unable to handle the effects of the price shocks, such as
those related to the major crop shortages in 1973-74, the
OPEC embargo, and strong demand pressure on nonpetroleum primary commodities in 1973.
The theory underlying the prototype SP equation is described in Section II. The starting point is a neoclassical
model developed by W. D. Nordhaus in the early 1970's.
That model is modified in the direction of greater reality,
e.g., to handle consideration of competitive structure, behavior other than profit maximizing, and disequilibrium.
Section III presents an overview of the SP framework
and describes the data used in the SP subsector. The sub-




sector uses price indexes developed from components of
the Producer Price Index and relies heavily on interindustry coefficients estimated by BEA.
Section IV describes the price-wage sector equations—
first those contained in the SP subsector, then the remaining equations. This section is supplemented by two appendixes. One lists the stochastic equations and identities,
along with three summary statistics, and the other defines
the variables used and describes the operator functions
and transformations applied to many of these variables.
Section V presents results of historical simulations of
the price-wage sector as a whole to test its overall goodness of fit. These results are matched against those from
comparable simulations of the previously used price-wage
sector, which relied on a "top-down" approach of explaining an aggregative price measure with unit labor cost, a
demand proxy, indirect business taxes, and a dummy for
wage-price controls, and using this price measure to drive
component price measures. The SP approach yields smaller errors, as well as provides a vehicle for simulating macroeconomic effects of changes in energy and basic materials prices.

Table 5.10-5.11:
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 quarter rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates. Quarter-to-quarter
changes calculated from the constant-dollar inventories shown in this table are at quarterly
rates, whereas the constant-dollar change in business inventories component of GNP 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.

Table 5.8-5.9:
1. The IVA shown in this table differs from that which adjusts business income. 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. The mix differs from that underlying business income derived primarily from Internal Revenue Service statistics.

Inventory Investment and Economic Instability
I

NVENTORY investment—the difference between production and final
sales—can be either a stabilizing or a
destabilizing factor in economic fluctuations. For example, if a drop in
final sales leads to an involuntary accumulation of inventories of finished
goods, then inventory investment is
playing a stabilizing role, because production has fallen less than sales
have fallen. But if the lower level of
final sales persists and the swollen
level of inventories is deliberately reduced by driving production below
sales, then inventory investment is
playing a destabilizing role.
As has often been documented, inventory investment has usually been
destabilizing. This article measures
the extent to which various categories
of inventories have been destabilizing
and, for manufacturers' inventories,
explains the destabilizing behavior in
terms of the contributions of factors
that influence inventory investment.
The article makes intensive use of
the estimates of constant-dollar manufacturers' inventories by stage of
fabrication introduced by BEA as part
of the 1980 comprehensive revisions
of the national income and product
accounts.1 The new estimates are
built up from separate estimates of
inventories of materials, goods in
process, and finished goods in each of
20 manufacturing industries. This article explores some aspects of what
the new estimates tell about the behavior of inventories.
The first section of the article develops a statistical measure of the
extent to which inventory investment
contributes to economic instability.
1. The new estimates are described in John C. Hinrichs and Anthony D. Eckman, "Constant-Dollar Manufacturers' Inventories," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 61 (November 1981): 16-23.




The measure is presented for total inventory investment, and for inventory
investment at different stages of the
production process and at different
cyclical stages. The second section
presents demand equations for manufacturers' inventory holdings by stage
of fabrication; these equations permit
further analysis of the destabilizing
behavior by measuring separately the
contribution of various influences—
sales, new orders, and the financial
cost of holding inventories—on inventory investment. The final section
presents simulations of manufacturers' inventory behavior under different demand and cost conditions.
The analysis indicates that manufacturing inventory investment in
total is destabilizing. However, the
extent to which it is destabilizing differs substantially by stage of fabrication. For finished goods inventory investment, neither stabilizing nor destabilizing behavior dominates; in the
early stages of cyclical fluctuations,
inventory behavior tends to be stabilizing, but in later stages, it is mixed.
Investment in both work-in-process
inventories and materials inventories
is destabilizing, and this behavior is
apparent at all stages of cyclical fluctuation.
Inventories in all three stages of
fabrication respond positively to
levels of demand, as measured by
sales and new orders, and negatively
to the financial cost of holding inventories. The finding of a response to
the latter, as measured by a real rate
of interest, contrasts with the findings
of much previous analysis. The contrast in findings, at least in part, is
due to the inclusion in the sample
period used for this article of the wide
swings in real interest rates of the
1970's. The response to demand is
stronger for work-in-process and ma-

terials inventories than for finished
goods inventories, and this difference
accounts, at least in part, for the difference in stabilizing/destabilizing behavior.

The Contribution of Inventory
Investment to Instability
The measure proposed in this article is an answer to the question: How
much more instability is there in production than in final sales? The measure can be calculated for total inventory investment, for inventory investment by stage of fabrication and by
industry, for expansions and contractions, and for many other groupings
of inventory estimates.
The measure is the percent difference between two measures of dispersion. One of the two is the root-meansquare (i.e., the square root of the
mean squared value) of the percentage deviation of final sales of goods
and structures (in 1972 dollars) from
its trend. The other is the root-meansquare of the percentage deviation of
final sales plus inventory change—
i.e., production—from its trend. If
sales relative to its trend has a rootmean-square deviation of 2.4 percent
and sales plus inventory change relative to its trend has root-mean-square
deviation of 3.0 percent, then the
measure equals 25, the 25 percent
excess of 3.0 over 2.4. (As will be seen,
these are the actual figures in the calculation for total inventory change in
1959-81.) The measure is always positive if inventory change is destabilizing. If some category of inventory
change has a stabilizing influence, so
that the deviation from trend of sales
plus that category of inventory
23

24

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

change is smaller than the deviation
of sales alone,
then the measure will
be negative.2
In mathematical terms, the measure (M) is:
V Ss

where Sq is the square root of the
mean square percent deviation from
trend of constant-dollar final sales of
goods and structures plus inventory
change, and Ss is the square root of
the mean square percent deviation
from trend of final sales of goods and
structures. The sales trend is a centered 21-quarter moving average of
actual sales.3 The trend of inventory
2. The possibility of negative values points to the
difference between the measure of instability used in
this article and a measure based on an analysis of the
variance of output by component, often used by others
(see, for example, Alan Blinder, "Retail Inventory Behavior and Business Fluctuations, "Brookings Papers
on Economic Activity, No. 2 (1981) pp. 445-9). In an
analysis of variance, inventory investment will make
a positive contribution to total variance irrespective of
whether it is stabilizing or destabilizing; only the covariance terms can discriminate between the two situations. The measure used here depends on both the
variance of inventory investment and the covariance
of inventory investment and sales.
3. The trend was extended to the end of 1981 by
using an autoregressive equation to project changes in
sales and then using projected sales to calculate the
moving average. The autoregressive equation was A
LSt=0.0049+0.2429 A LSt-i, where A LS is the change
from the preceding quarter in the logarithm of sales.

ing, inventory investment in finished
goods was slightly stabilizing. Investment in work in process 5and in materials were destabilizing. That they
were destabilizing does not necessarily mean that inventory levels moved
differently from final sales or from
production; even if the level of inventories at some stage were perfectly
proportional to production, inventory
investment—the change in the level—
could easily be destabilizing.
Inventory investment was more destabilizing in 1959-70 than in 197081. Both sales and production fluctuated less in 1959-70 than in 1970-81;
but the percentage difference between
the two was larger in the first subperiod. Manufacturing inventory investment was the most destabilizing nonfarm component in both subperiods.
Within manufacturing, inventories of
finished goods were destabilizing

during the first subperiod but stabilizing in the second; the other stages
were destabilizing in both subperiods.
Retail inventory investment was also
destabilizing, but more so in the first
subperiod than the second.
These results are moderately sensitive to the choice of a trend line for
final sales. For a 17-quarter average
(instead of a 21-quarter average),
results are much the same. For a 5quarter average, results are still similar for the entire 1959-81 period but
are different for subperiods.
By cyclical stage.—The measure can
be disaggregated by cyclical stage. For
runs of deviations—positive or negative—of final sales from trend, the
quarters are grouped into an early
stage (first three quarters of a deviation), a middle stage (fourth through
sixth quarters), and a late stage (seventh quarter and later), and the
measure calculated for the observations of these stages. The resulting
measures can be used to investigate
whether inventory investment is
more destabilizing in the early,
middle, or late stages.

Table 2 shows large differences in
the measure of instability disaggregated in this way. For total inventory
investment the measure of instability
is 39 in the early stage of a deviation
from trend, but only 24 in the middle
stage and still smaller in the late
stage. The same pattern holds true
for the retail component, which has a
destabilizing measure of 16 for the
early stage but only 5 for the middle
stage, and —4 in the late stage. In
contrast, the manufacturing component destabilizes by about the same
amount in each stage. Finished manufacturing inventories are stabilizing
in the early stages; i.e., they tend to
be reduced early in an expansion or
increased early in a cyclical contraction. In later stages, however, finished
goods inventories have very little
impact. Inventories of work in process
are destabilizing at all stages but
more strongly in the early stage. Materials inventories are moderately destabilizing at all stages.

Inventory Investment to Instability, by Stage
of Deviations of Final Sales From Trend,
1959-81

To analyze the manufacturing results more thoroughly, it is helpful to
estimate demand equations relating
manufacturers' inventory holdings to
measures of demand and cost. With
these equations it is possible to explain, at least in part, the destabilizing or stabilizing behavior of manufacturers' inventory investment in
terms of the contributions of current
and lagged demand and cost variables.
Theories of inventory behavior suggest that inventory holdings ought to
depend on the level of demand and on
the cost of holding inventories.6 The
response to a change in demand—usually measured by sales or new
orders—depends on whether the
change is accompanied by a parallel
change in the number of establish-

5. If inventory investment in different stages were uncorrelated with one another, then the squares of the
measures in table 1 would be additive; that is, the square
of the measure for total inventories would equal the sum
of the squares of the measures for farm and nonfarm inventories, and the square of the measure for manufacturing would equal the sum of the squares of the measures
for the three stages of fabrication. Because inventory investment in different stages is correlated and because
the measure is not squared, values shown in the table are
not additive. They are close enough to additive, however, to permit an accounting for totals in terms of parts.

ments doing business, or whether it
represents a change in the amount of
activity within the typical establishment. In the former case, almost any
theory would imply an elasticity with
respect to sales or orders close to
1.0—that is, a proportional response
of inventories to a change in sales or
orders, at least after a suitable timelag. In the latter case, however, some
theories imply that within an establishment economies of scale permit a
less-than-proportional response of inventories to sales. One strand of the
operations research literature emphasizes a "square-root rule" in which
the elasticity of inventories with respect to sales or orders is 0.5. Thus,
elasticities of inventory holdings with
respect to sales or orders in the range
of 0.5 to 1.0 appear theoretically plausible.
Most empirical studies of inventory
holdings have found that there are
sizable lags in the adjustment of inventories to a change in sales or
orders. Theories often allow for a
short period in which inventories, especially inventories of finished goods,
move in the opposite direction to
changes in demand, due to the bufferstock role of inventories. But apart
from this initial "involuntary" response, there is little explanation in
the theoretical literature for the widespread empirical conclusion that inventories may take as long as a year
or two to adjust to a change in the
level of sales or new orders.7
Although in theory, the cost of
holding inventories is an important
influence on demand, empirical work
has usually been unsuccessful in uncovering a cost influence.8 Most of
this work has emphasized a single element of cost, the interest rate on borrowed funds. There are, in fact, many
other cost elements to be taken into
account—the cost of physical storage,
deterioration and obsolesence, insurance, taxes, and—most importantly in

7. In some empirical work, this lag is referred to as
a slow speed of adjustment; in other work, as a slowly
changing inventory "target." The problem of finding a
theoretical explanation is much the same in either
case. For discussion of the problem, see Blinder,
"Retail Inventory Behavior," and Martin Feldstein
and Allan Auerbach, "Inventory Behavior in Durable
Goods Manufacturing: the Target-Adjustment Model,"

recent years—expected changes in
prices during the inventory holding
period. A sufficiently high rate of increase in price can make the carrying
costs of inventories negative rather
than positive. The composite cost variable in this article, a real interest
rate adjusted for the tax treatment of
inventories, is a more comprehensive
measure than the usual one. Even
this measure, however, omits such
cost elements as storage, insurance,
and deterioration.
Problems of measurement are unusually severe for inventories and for
real interest rates. For inventories,
the problems are least serious for
annual estimates, more serious for
quarterly estimates, and most serious
of all for monthly estimates, especially for seasonally adjusted, constantdollar estimates. Seasonal adjustment
is one example of an imperfect procedure that has far more impact on
quarterly and monthly estimates than
on annual estimates, but it is by no
means the only one. Information on
the extent of the use of the various
business inventory accounting methods is essential for the construction of
the estimates. Such information, as a
rule, is available only on an annual
basis, and is interpolated smoothly for
the construction of quarterly and
monthly estimates. Choosing the appropriate lags in the wholesale prices
used in construction of the estimates
is a more serious problem monthly
and quarterly than annually. Inventory book values, the starting point
for the estimates, are available for a
much larger and better constructed
sample on an annual basis than they
are on a quarterly and monthly
basis.9
Major problems in measuring real
interest rates include the estimation
of percent changes in sales prices by
industry and determination of appropriate marginal tax rates as influenced not only by statutory rates, but
also by the use of different inventory
accounting systems.10 The real inter-

10. In particular, LIFO accounting affects taxes because increases in the value of inventories during the
period in which they are held are not subject to tax
for firms using this accounting system. For a description of the influence of LIFO accounting on inventory

est rate measures in this article are
more carefully constructed than is
typical of other inventory studies.
Nevertheless, these measures are undoubtedly based on much more accurate information annually than over
any shorter span.
The demand equations
Separate demand equations are estimated for six categories of manufacturers' inventories, two equations
each for materials, goods in process,
and finished goods. One equation of
each pair covers industries for which
sales is the demand variable (roughly,
nondurable goods manufacturing industries) and the other, industries for
which new orders is the demand variable (roughly, durable goods manufacturing industries).11 The dependent
variables in the six equations are the
logarithms of end-of-year inventory
holdings in constant dollars.
For the sales industries, the independent variables are the logarithm
of sales in constant dollars and a real
interest rate. For the new orders industries, the variables are the logarithm of new orders in constant dollars and a real interest rate. New
orders are converted from current to
constant dollars by dividing by sales
deflators. In most industries, new
orders in quarter t are deflated by the
sales deflator in quarter t+1 to allow
for the fact that price quotations generally refer to goods sold currently,
and hence ordered sometime previous-

ly.

The real interest rate variable is
constructed separately for each twodigit manufacturing industry and
then aggregated to the level of all
sales industries and all new orders industries. The basic formula for the
real interest rate is:

1-ft
R-, 1-t
where R is a short-term interest rate
(specifically, the Federal Reserve
series for bank rates on short-term
business loans), P is the most recent
11. Note that the sales series used in this section of
the article is manufacturers' shipments, including intermediate as well as final products. It is not the final
sales series used in the first part of the article. The
exceptions to the durable-nondurable split are lumber
and furniture, which are durable goods industries but
for which no new orders data are published separately. They are classified as sales industries for the purpose of this article.

annual rate of price increase for the
sales of an industry, f is the proportion of each industry using non-LIFO
accounting systems, and t is the statutory corporate tax rate.12 Estimates of
f are based on Census Bureau annual
surveys starting with 1974 and BEA
surveys before 1974. They are
smoothed before being used to calculate real interest rates.
Both the demand variables and the
real interest rate are split into two
components, drawing on past studies
about how sales expectations are
formed and about how interest rate
and price expectations are formed.
For the demand variables—sales and
new orders—the split is between last
year's level and the change from last
year to the current year.13 For the
real interest rate, the split is between
an "expected" component and an "unexpected" component, with the "expected" component calculated from
lagged actual values and its own
lagged values.14 Because each variable
is split into two components, the logarithm of inventory holdings is related
to four variables; the logarithm of
lagged sales or new orders, the
change in the logarithm of sales or
new orders, the expected real interest
rate, and the unexpected real interest
rate.
Regression results
The inventory demand equations
presented in this article are estimated
using annual data as well as quarterly data. Comparisons of the two sets
of results will reveal important differences—differences that could well be
due to measurement errors in the
quarterly data.
Annual results.—The results of the
estimation are shown in table 3. Of

as the magnitude a profit-maximizing firm will set
equal to the value of the marginal product of its stock
of inventories if all of its interst costs are deductible
expenses, and if a fraction, f, of the increase in the
value of its inventories during the period in which
they are held are subject to tax.

XE t =a+b (X t -i+XE t -i), where XEt is the expected

NOTE.—The dependent variables are logarithms of the levels of inventory stocks at the end of each year. Numbers in
parentheses are t-ratios.
1. The real interest rate is expressed in decimal form; e.g., 4 percent is 0.04. Separation into expected and unexpected
components is based on the formula XE t =a-j b (Xt-i + XEt-i) where XEt is the expected rate in year t and Xt-i and XEt-i are the
actual and expected rates in year t—1. The unexpected rate is the actual rate minus the expected rate. See text for further
explanation.

the six sales or new orders coefficients, one is below (but not significantly below) 0.5, four lie between 0.5
and 1.0, and one is above 1.0. These
coefficients, which represent long-run
elasticities—i.e., percent responses of
inventories to a 1-percent increase in
sales or new orders—generally accord
with theoretical expectations.
Five of the six coefficients for the
change in sales or new orders are
positive and smaller than coefficients
for lagged levels; the sixth coefficient
is zero. This result implies that inventories respond positively both to this
year's sales or new orders and last
year's sales or new order.15 The result
confirms past findings of a significant
lag in inventories behind sales or new
orders, although it does not provide
any insight into why sizable lags
should exist. Coefficients of change in
demand are smaller for the finished
goods stage of each group than for the
other stages. Had these coefficients
been negative, they would have been
consistent with a temporary "involuntary" response of finished goods inventories to current sales or new
orders before the long-run positive response dominates. In these annual
equations there is no evidence of such
behavior, although the results do not
rule out such a response in a quarterly or monthly time frame.

The coefficients of the expected real
interest rate are all negative, with
three of the six t-ratios equal (in absolute value) to 4.0 or more. These coefficients multiplied by the average real
interest rate are equal to the implied
elasticities—the percent change in inventories corresponding to a 1-percent
increase in the real interest rate.
Thus, a coefficient of —2.0 and an
average real interest rate of 0.04
would imply an elasticity of 0.04
times —2.0, or —0.08. Because of the
lag of the expected behind the actual
rate, this response builds up gradually as an actual change is incorporated
into expectations. The coefficients of
the unexpected real interest rate are
small and not significant statistically.16
All of the equations include a correction for first-order serial correlation in the residuals. The autocorrelation coefficients range from 0.42 to
0.99, implying that the unexplained
variation in inventories changes
smoothly even on an annual basis.
Chart 8 shows the levels of materials inventories, new orders, and the
expected real interest rate for the
orders group of industries. The chart,
like the equation for this category in
table 3, suggests that (1) inventories
respond to a smoothed version of new
orders, and (2) inventories respond

15. If K, the logarithm of the level of inventories, is
equal to a S-i+b (S-S-i), where S is logarithm of sales,
then K can also be expressed as bS+(a-b) S-i. When
a is positive and b is positive but smaller than a, then
the alternative expression shows that K depends positively on both S and S-i.

16. Note that if inventories were related to the current actual real interest rates, and the split into expected and unexpected components were irrelevant,
then the coefficients for the expected and unexpected
components should be the same. In fact, they are significantly different.

negatively to the expected real rate,
accounting for the increase in inventories relative to orders in the mid1970's.
A number of alternative specifications were tested on annual data,
with qualitatively similar results but
some important quantitive differences. These results can be summarized briefly:
(1) Equations without an autocorrelation correction had on average,

larger and more significant negative coefficients for the real interest rate and somewhat larger coefficients for sales and new
orders.
(2) Replacing the "expected" and
"unexpected' disaggregation of
the real interest rate by a disaggregation into current level and
current change— parallel to the
treatment of sales and new
orders — generally reduced the
real interest rate coefficients, al-

though they all remained negative.
(3) Replacing the level-and-change
disaggregation of the demand
variables by disaggregation into
"expected"
and "unexpected"
levels— parallel to the treatment
of the real interest rate — increased the coefficients of expected sales or new orders and decreased coefficients of the expected real interest rate, although the
latter all remained negative.
(4) A stock-adjustment specification
of the basic equation, in which
the logarithm of inventories depends on the logarithm of current
sales or new orders, the current
real interest rate, and the lagged
stock of inventories, implied lags
somewhat longer than the results
shown in table 3.
(5) Splitting the expected real interest rate into two components with
separate coefficients, an expected
interest-rate component and an
expected price-change component,
resulted in insignificant and generally positive interest-rate coefficients (contrary to hypothesis)
and significant positive pricechange coefficients (in accordance
with hypothesis).
(6) Finally, an additional variable,
the ratio of materials prices to
final product prices, which would
be expected to have a negative relationship to inventory holdings,
had three negative coefficients
and three positive coefficients.

Quarterly results.— Results of the
quarterly versions of these equations,
which appear in table 4, differ from
those of the annual versions in major
respects. The coefficients of levels of
sales and new orders remain positive
and significant, but average 20 percent lower than the corresponding coefficients in the annual equations. Coefficients of the expected real interest
rate remain negative, but are much
smaller and less significant.
Quarterly results based on alternative specifications also tended to diverge from the annual results. For example, a stock-adjustment model fit to
quarterly data implied considerably
longer lags than those implied by
annual stock-adjustment equations,
which, as noted earlier, imply lags

December 1982

somewhat longer than the equations
reported in table 3.
The annual equations appear to be
more trustworthy than the quarterly
ones. The annual variables are subject to smaller measurement errors,
and the divergences in results are
those that might be expected because
of the nature of the quarterly measurement problems. For example, a
quarterly dependent variable that is
too smooth could easily increase the
estimated length of lags; and errors in
measuring the real interest rate could
easily bias it coefficients towards zero.
Although the annual regression results reported in table 3 seem preferable to regressions based on quarterly
data, quarterly equations are necessary in order to determine how
demand and cost factors contribute to
the destabilizing behavior of manufacturing inventories. What is desired is
a set of quarterly equations subject to
the constraint that the long-run responses to demand and to expected
real interest rates are in accord with
the annual results in table 3. The appendix describes the way in which
such equations were estimated.

Simulation Results for
Manufacturers' Inventories
The constrained quarterly inventory demand equations described in
the appendix are used in this section
in two ways: (1) to analyze the causes
of the destabilizing behavior of manufacturers' inventories, and (2) to illustrate the typical effect on manufacturers' inventories of a step change in
sales or new orders and a step change
in the real rate of interest. Table 5
and 6 show the results of these simulations.
Accounting for destabilizing behavior
The equations developed in the previous section and the appendix permit
an allocation of the destabilizing behavior of manufacturers' inventory
investment to the influences of current and lagged sales or new orders,
and the real interest rate. The measure of destabilizing behavior developed in the first part of this article
can be disaggregated into the contribution of each explanatory variable in
the demand equations. Because the

measure of instability is not additive
and because the equations do not fit
perfectly, the disaggregation does not
provide an exact accounting for the
contribution of each variable, but
only strong indications of which are
most important. Note that the equations explain levels of inventories,
whereas what contributes to stability
or instability is inventory change. It
is, therefore, changes in the explanatory variable of the demand equations
that account for the stabilizing or destabilizing behavior of inventory investment.
The results, shown in table 5, indicate that destabilizing behavior of
manufacturers' inventory investment
in all three stages is overwhelmingly
due to the influence of lagged changes
in sales and new orders, that is,
lagged changes in demand. The table
shows the separation of the total
measure of instability into three components: the contribution of the acceleration or deceleration of demand in
the current and previous quarter, the
contribution of changes in demand in
all earlier quarters, and the contribution of changes in the expected real
interest rate (the impact of the unexpected rate, with its small and insignificant coefficients, is not shown in
the table). For all three stages, the
second factor, the contribution of
lagged changes in demand, is highly
destabilizing. These lagged changes

are less destabilizing for inventories
of finished goods, for which the longterm coefficients of the demand variables are relatively small, than for inventories in other stages. Evidently,
cycles in demand last long enough
that reductions in inventories in response to past weakness typically
take place while demand is still below
trend; and inventory buildups in response to past strength in demand
typically take place while demand is
still above trend.
The contributions of the other factors in the table are much smaller.
The response of inventory investment
to the current acceleration or decel-

30
eration of demand makes a small stabilizing contribution for finished
goods inventories and has a impact
close to zero for the other stages. The
contribution of changes in the expected real interest rate is also mildly stabilizing; evidently, the correspondence
of expected increases in real interest
rates with an expansion or expected
decreases with a contraction, which
would give rise to such behavior, are
more common than the opposite situations.
The typical response to demand and
real interest rates
The results of this study can be
shown in the form of typical responses of manufacturers' inventory
investment to a 1-percent increase in
sales and new orders and to a 1 percentage point increase in the level of
real interest rates. The latter change
could be caused by a change of 1 percentage point in the bank interest
rate on short-term business loans, or
by a change of roughly 0.6 percentage
points in the rate of inflation (the
exact amounts depend on the industry distribution of the changes).
Among other uses, these calculations
may help forecasters in judging the
sensitivity of manufacturers' inventory investment to variations in projected real growth rates, interest
rates, and inflation rates.
The calculations are summarized in
table 6, assuming end-of-1981 inventory stocks in order to translate percent changes into dollars of inventory
investment. For a 1-percent step increase in sales or new orders, the response of investment in finished goods
inventories is the smallest of the
three stages; it begins at $0.18 billion
in 1972 dollars the quarter of the increase, rises to $0.34 billion two quarters later, and then falls to zero. The
responses of investment in inventories
of goods in process and inventories of
materials are larger, reaching peaks
of $0.43 billion and $0.71 billion. The
three stages together reach a peak of
$1.48 billion in the third quarter of
the upward shift in sales and new
orders.
For a 1 percentage point increase in
the real interest rate, the response of
investment in finished goods inventories is again smallest, starting at
-$0.28 billion in 1972 dollars, quickly

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
dropping to about one-half that
amount, and then in the second year
approaching zero. The response of investment in materials inventories is
largest, beginning at —$0.80 billion,
then dropping to just under —$0.50
billion for three quarters, to just over
— $0.10 billion for the second year,
and then to near zero. In total, manufacturers' inventory investment has
its strongest response
$1.32 billion—in the initial quarter. Thus, according to these results, projections of
inventory investment ought to take
interest rates and inflation rates, as
well as sales and new orders, into account.

Appendix: Constrained
Quarterly Equations
The easiest method of estimating
quarterly equations constrained by
annual long-run responses is to construct a set of quarterly dependent
variables of the form:
log K t -bi log D t - 4 -b2 REt

where K is an inventory category, D
is the demand variable (sales in three
of the six equations, new orders in the

others), RE is the expected real rate
of interest, and bi and b2 are the coefficients of lagged demand and of the
expected real rate reported in table 3.
These dependent variables are related
to current and lagged changes in the
logarithms of D and to the unexpected component of the real interest
rate. Their coefficients determine the
lag structure of the relationship of inventories to demand and cost; they do
not influence the long-run responses.
Results of this procedure are shown
in table 7. Each current or lagged




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
change in demand is entered as a separate variable.
With few exceptions, the coefficients in table 7 imply that the longrun responses built into the equations
develop gradually over four quarters.
For example, in the equation for finished goods inventories in sales industries, the long-run coefficient of the
logarithm of sales four quarters ago is
constrained to be 0.81, and the coefficients on current and lagged changes
are 0.195, 0.359, 0.630, and 0.684. The
net coefficient on the current levels is

31

0.195; on the previous quarter's level,
0.359-0.195, i.e., 0.164; on the level
two quarters ago, 0.630-0.359, i.e.,
0.271; on the level three quarters ago,
0.684-0.630, i.e., 0.054; and on the
level four quarters ago, 0.811 — 0.684,
i.e., 0.127. All coefficients are positive,
implying a gradual buildup of the response of inventories to sales. By
design, the sum of these five coefficients equals 0.81. With only one exception, coefficients of the unexpected
real interest rate, also shown in table
7, are not significant.

plans small increases in spending for
new plant and equipment in the first
two quarters of 1983—0.4 percent and
1.1 percent, respectively—according to
the BEA quarterly survey conducted1
in late October and November.
Actual spending in the third quarter
of 1982 declined 2.3 percent from the
second quarter to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $315.8 billion, 1.4
percent lower than plans indicated 3
months ago. The latest plans indicate
a 0.2-percent decline in the fourth
quarter. If plans reported in the
survey are realized, spending in the
first half of 1983 will be at an annual
rate of $318.2 billion, 0.9 percent
more than in the second half of 1982.
Spending declined 3.1 percent from
the first half of 1982 to the second
half.
Estimates of real capital spending
(spending after adjustment by BEA
for price changes) indicate a 0.4-percent decline in the first quarter of
1983 and a 0.2-percent decline in the
second.2 Real spending declined 2.2
percent in the third quarter of 1982
and estimates indicate a 1.4-percent
decline in the fourth. The latest estimates for the year 1982 indicate a de1. Plans have been adjusted for systematic biases in
reporting (table 7, footnote 1). The adjustments were
made for each industry. Before adjustment, plans for
1982 were $123.3 billion for manufacturing and $195.9
billion for nonmanufacturing. The net effect of the adjustments was to lower manufacturing $0.68 billion
and to raise nonmanufacturing $1.45 billion.
2. Respondents to the quarterly survey are not
asked to report information on price changes reflected
in actual or planned spending figures. To provide estimates of real spending, BEA adjusts the survey results
using implicit price deflators for each industry developed from unpublished data in the national income
and product accounts. Estimates of real spending
plans are based on the assumption that plans for each
industry reflect price expectations equal to the average rate of change for that industry's deflator during
the latest four quarters for which it is available.




cline of 4.8 percent from 1981; real
spending in 1981 was about the same
as in 1980 (table 1). BEA now estimates that the price deflator for all
capital goods purchases by business
will increase 4.8 percent in 1982,
down from a 5.5-percent increase estimated 3 months ago. The deflator increased 8.5 percent in 1981.
The latest estimate of currentdollar spending for the full year 1982
is $320.0 billion, a 0.5-percent decline
from 1981 (table 2 and chart 10).
Spending programs for 1982 have
been revised downward by business in
the successive surveys: A 7.3-percent
planned increase was reported in the
survey conducted in January-February, a 2.2-percent increase in AprilMay, and a 0.7-percent increase in
July-August. Spending in 1981 was
$321.5 billion, 8.7 percent more than
in 1980. If the 1982 spending estimate
is realized, this would be the first
year since 1961 that current-dollar
spending has recorded a year-to-year
decline.
The latest downward revision in
1982 spending programs—$3.7 billion
or 1.1 percent—was most pronounced
in durable goods manufacturing industries, which revised programs
down 2.6 percent; the largest percentage revisions were reported in stoneclay-glass, iron and steel, nonelectrical machinery, and motor vehicles. In
nondurables, downward revisions in
paper and chemicals were offset by an
upward revision in petroleum. Nonmanufacturing industries revised programs down 1.1 percent; the downward revisions were widespread
among the major industry groups,
with only electric utilities and air
transportation reporting upward revisions.

Other highlights of the survey are:
• The rate of capacity utilization in
manufacturing was 69 percent in September, 2 points below June and 6
points below the rates reported in
March and June 1975 during the
1974-75 recession (table 3). The September rate is the lowest recorded for
the BEA series since it was begun in
1965.

June to 20 percent at the end of September; this is 11 points lower than at
the end of September 1981 (table 5).
• Spending for new plant declined
2.0 percent in the third quarter and
spending for new equipment declined
2.5 percent (table 6). Declines in real
spending for plant and for equipment—1.7 percent and 2.4 percent, respectively—differed little from the declines in current-dollar spending.
The continued downward revisions
in investment programs and the indications of depressed real spending
through the first half of next year are
consistent with other indicators of
future investment activity. In addition to declines in those reported in
the latest BEA survey—capacity utilization, manufacturing starts, and
manufacturers' facility needs—capital
appropriations in manufacturing declined again in the third quarter after
a sharp drop in the second, and new
orders for nondefense capital goods
declined significantly in the third
quarter, the fourth consecutive quarterly decline.

1. Estimates are based on planned capital expenditures reported by business in late October
and November 1982. The planned expenditures are adjusted for systematic biases in reporting.
The adjustment procedures are described in the October 1980 SURVEY. Before adjustment, plans
for 1982 were $319.22 billion for total nonfarm business, $123.35 billion for manufacturing, and
$195.87 billion for nonmanufacturing.
2. Procedures for preparing constant-dollar estimates are described in the September 1981
SURVEY.




3. Constant-dollar plans are adjusted by BEA for assumed price changes.
4. Includes industries not shown separately.
5. Consists of lumber, furniture, instruments, and miscellaneous.
6. Consists of apparel, tobacco, leather, and printing-publishing.
7. Consists of construction; social services and membership organizations; and forestry, fisheries, and agricultural services.

largest decline was in the chemicalspetroleum group. Companies owning
52 percent of fixed assets reported
that facilities were about adequate, a
decline of 1% points from June; companies owning 28 percent of fixed
assets reported that facilities exceeded needs, an increase of 5 points.

Nonmanufacturing Programs
Nonmanufacturers' current-dollar
spending declined 1.6 percent in the
third quarter, to an annual rate of
$196.3 billion, after showing no
change from the first quarter to the
second; third-quarter declines were reported by most major industries

utilities. Plans indicate a 0.8-percent
decline in the fourth quarter and virtually no change in the first quarter
of 1983. A 0.8-percent increase is
planned in the second quarter; most
of the major industries plan increases
except electric utilities, which plans a
decline.
Current-dollar spending for the
year 1982 is estimated at $197.3 billion, a 1.3-percent increase over 1981.
The largest increase, 11.2 percent, is
reported by electric utilities. Smaller
increases are reported by air transportation,
"communication
and
other/' and trade and services. Declines are reported by "other transportation/' mining, railroads, and gas
utilities.

Real spending for the year 1982 is
estimated to decline 3.5 percent from
1981. The largest decline is in mining,
12.5 percent; smaller declines are estimated in "communication and other/'
transportation, and trade and services. In public utilities, estimates indicate a 1.8-percent increase. In the
first half of 1983, a 2.3-percent decline
is estimated for nonmanufacturing industries.
Starts of new investment projects
by public utilities totaled $10.1 billion
in the third quarter, compared with
$6.0 billion in the second quarter.
Carryover of utility projects totaled
$106.6 billion at the end of September, $0.8 billion less than at the end
of June.

U.S. International Transactions, Third Quarter 1982
THE

U.S. current-account balance
shifted to a deficit of $4.2 billion in
the third quarter from a surplus of
$2.2 billion in the second. The shift
was more than accounted for by an
increase in the merchandise trade
deficit to $12.5 billion, from $5.7 billion. A $3.0 billion increase in petroleum imports, following four consecutive quarterly declines, and a $2.2 billion decrease in agricultural exports,
related to depressed prices and a decrease in shipments to Eastern
Europe, accounted for most of the increase in the deficit. Net service receipts increased $0.2 billion; a decrease of $0.3 billion in net investment income receipts was more than
offset by net increases in the military
and travel accounts.
Among the private capital accounts,
the increase in claims on foreigners
reported by U.S. banks slowed to
$21.0 billion from $36.9 billion and
the increase in liabilities slowed to
$11.5 billion from $24.6 billion. Con-

tinued depressed business conditions
in most industrial countries, declining
interest rates, and increasing selectivity by U.S. banks concerning foreign
loans were factors in the slowing in
international banking activity. There
were unusual net inflows in the U.S.
direct investment abroad account for
the second consecutive quarter, as
Netherlands Antillean finance affiliates of U.S. companies continued to
raise funds in the Eurodollar market
to meet domestic financial requirements; inflows were $1.0 billion. Inflows for foreign direct investment in
the United States were down slightly
to $2.3 billion.
In the official capital accounts, U.S.
official reserve assets increased $0.8
billion; foreign official assets in the
United States increased $2.1 billion.
The statistical discrepancy (errors
and omissions in reported transactions) was an inflow of $14.5 billion,
the largest since the second quarter of
1980. In earlier quarters of 1982, it

had ranged between $5 and $6 billion
(table A).
U.S. dollar in exchange markets
The U.S. dollar appreciated 5 percent and 4 percent on a trade-weighted basis against the currencies of 10
industrial and 22 OECD countries, respectively, reaching its highest point
in 12 years (chart 11 and table C). The
dollar appreciation occurred despite a
sharp drop in U.S. and Eurodollar interest rates relative to foreign rates.
On balance, the United States appeared a relatively safe haven for
funds, as sensitivity to global financial and political risks increased.
Many of the resultant capital inflows
were apparently unrecorded, contributing to the increase in the statistical
discrepancy in the U.S. international
accounts.
The dollar appreciated 11 percent
against the French franc, despite substantial sales of dollars by French au-

appreciation slowed when the French
Government announced the availability of a $4 billion credit line with a
consortium of private banks in midSeptember. Altough there were large
dollar sales by Japanese authorities,
the dollar appreciated 7 percent
against the Japanese yen. Political
uncertainties in Germany and continued concern over Polish debt renegotiations, in which Germany was heavily
involved, contributed to a 4-percent
appreciation of the dollar against the
German mark. Against the Mexican
peso, the dollar appreciated nearly 50
percent. Heavy selling pressure on
the peso forced abandonment of a
single exchange rate and the implementation of a dual exchange rate
system and exchange controls. In contrast, the dollar depreciated 1 percent

its lead in the third; average prices
were 20 percent lower than for supplies from the Middle East and
Africa. Imports from Saudi Arabia,
also a major supplier, remained at
relatively low levels, partly a result of
that country's policy of limiting its
crude oil production to help stabilize
OPEC price levels.
Nonpetroleum imports increased
$1.0 billion, or 2 percent, to $48.5 billion. Prices decreased 2 percent;
volume increased 4 percent. Continued strength of the U.S. dollar and
the decline in agricultural and commodity prices in world markets partly
offset the impact of the U.S. recession
on the value and volume of imports.
After an increase in the first quarter,
import prices (as measured by Census
Bureau unit value indexes) of most

major end-use categories declined in
the second and third quarters, resuming a trend that began in early 1981.
Most major categories of imports increased. Food, feeds, and beverages increased $0.5 billion to $4.8 billion.
Coffee accounted for a major part of
the increase; sugar imports increased
slightly from the low levels that followed the imposition of import quotas
in May. Prices of coffee and sugar,
and also cocoa, continued to decline.
Consumer goods increased $0.6 billion
to $10.2 billion. Automotive products
increased $0.4 billion to $9.3 billion.
An increase of $0.1 billion to $9.2 billion in capital goods was largely microchips from Japan and Southeast
Asia and electrical machinery. Nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials increased $0.1 billion to $13.5 bil-

lion. Iron and steel products decreased $0.7 billion to $2.2 billion; the
reduced level of U.S. oil drilling activity and the threat of imposition of retroactive countervailing duties against
products from Western Europe were
contributing factors. Other industrial
supplies and materials increased $0.8
billion to $11.3 billion—primarily
nonferrous metals, particularly gold,
and building materials. Other imports, mostly low-value shipments and
U.S. goods returned, decreased $0.6
billion, to $1.6 billion, following a
large second-quarter increase.
Exports decreased $2.7 billion, or 5
percent, to $52.5 billion. Agricultural
exports decreased $2.2 billion to $8.5
billion, as prices decreased 4 percent
and volume decreased 18 percent. A
large part of the decrease was in

grain exports to Eastern Europe,
which were only $0.1 billion, compared with $0.8 billion in the second
quarter. Uncertainly early in the
quarter as to whether the United
States would renew the U.S.S.R. grain
pact scheduled to expire September
30 may have contributed to the decline. A new one-year pact was signed
at the end of August. Ample world
grain supplies and the strength of the
dollar also contributed to lower exports to other geographic areas.
Nonagricultural exports decreased
$0.5 billion to $44.0 billion. Prices
were down 1 percent; volume was
unchanged. Depressed business conditions abroad and decreased competitiveness of U.S. goods in world markets due to the dollar's strength
slowed exports. Capital goods decreased $0.7 billion to $18.6 billion;
completed civilian aircraft decreased
$0.4 billion and nonelectrical machinery decreased $0.2 billion. Industrial
supplies and materials decreased $0.7
billion to $15.5 billion. Coal accounted
for almost one-half of the decrease,
and iron and steel, chemicals, and
most nonferrous metals together accounted for about $0.5 billion; partly
offsetting was an increase of $0.2 billion in gold exports. Automotive products were unchanged at $4.4 billion,
as an increase to Canada offset a decrease to other areas. The increase in
parts to Canada was related to the increase in U.S. imports of finished
autos and engines. Consumer goods
decreased $0.2 billion to $3.7 billion.
Other exports, mostly reexports of
foreign merchandise from the United
States, increased $0.9 billion. A large
part of the increase was in reexports
of numismatic coins.
The trade surplus declined or the
deficit increased with all major geographic area; generally, an increase
in imports was accompanied by a decrease in exports. The largest change
was in the deficit with the developing
countries in Asia and Africa, which
increased to $5.4 billion from $3.0 billion, mostly due to an increase in petroleum imports. The deficit with
Latin America increased to $2.0 billion from $0.2 billion, largely the
result of an increase in the deficit
with Mexico. Exports to Argentina remained low although certain U.S.
export sanctions imposed during the




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Falkland Islands crisis were removed
in July. Exports to developing countries were restrained by depressed
business conditions in a number of
those countries, large debt-service
payments, and their need to limit current-account deficits. The surplus
with Western Europe decreased to
$1.3 billion from $2.0 billion. The surplus with Eastern Europe decreased
to $0.1 billion for $0.9 billion; shipments of grain to the Soviet Union
were sharply lower.
Service transactions
Net service receipts increased $0.2
billion to $9.9 billion in the third
quarter. Receipts decreased $0.5 billion to $35.6 billion, and payments decreased $0.7 billion to $25.7 billion.
Unilateral transfers were unchanged
at $1.7 billion.
Receipts of income on portfolio investment decreased $1.1 billion to
$14.8 billion. Payments decreased $0.7
billion to $8.5 billion. Substantial declines in U.S. interest rates contributed to the decreases. Income receipts
were not affected significantly by reschedulings of private and Government debt over the past two quarters;
with very few exceptions, interest
continued to be paid on outsanding
debt. U.S. Government income receipts and payments were unchanged
at $1.1 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively, despite the drop in interest
rates.
Receipts of income from U.S. direct
investment abroad increased $0.3 billion to $6.0 billion. The increase was
due to reduced currency translation
losses, which had lowered secondquarter income. Excluding those
losses, income decreased $0.3 billion,
as weak business conditions abroad
continued to reduce affiliates' earnings. The largest decrease was in
Western Europe, mostly in the computer and automotive manufacturing
industries; income from most other
areas, except Canada, was down or
practically unchanged. The Canadian
increase reflected a shift from currency translation losses to gains.
Payments of income on foreign
direct investment in the United
States increased $0.2 billion to $1.5
billion. The increase was attributable
to an increase in the market value of
securities held by U.S. insurance af-

41
filiates, as U.S. bond and stock prices
rose throughout the quarter.
Net travel payments were $0.2 billion, compared with $0.3 billion; payments decreased $0.2 billion to $3.0
billion and receipts were almost unchanged at $2.8 billion. The decrease
in payments resulted from a 13-percent drop, to $1.6 billion, in payments
to overseas areas, despite an increase
in the number of U.S. travelers. Continued dollar strength and moderation of inflation in some overseas
countries contributed to the decrease.
Partly offsetting was a 4-percent increase, to $0.9 billion, in payments to
Mexico. The increase was concentrated in the border area, as the peso fell
sharply in exchange markets. Payments to Canada were unchanged at
$0.5 billion.
There were large offsetting changes
in travel receipts from major areas.
Receipts from Mexico, reflecting the
decline in the value of the peso, decreased 30 percent to $0.6 billion. Restrictions imposed in mid-August on
Mexican residents' U.S. dollar deposits in Mexican banks (funds could be
withdrawn in pesos only), a limit on
foreign exchange for Mexicans traveling abroad, and the reluctance of U.S.
merchants and banks in the border
area to accept pesos also contributed
to the decrease. Receipts from Canada
decreased 7 percent to $0.6 billion,
mostly due to depressed business conditions in Canada. In contrast, there
was an 18-percent increase, to $1.6
billion, in receipts from overseas visitors—largely from the Far East and
the Caribbean and Central American
region.
Passenger fare receipts and payments were virtually unchanged at
$0.8 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively. Travelers made increased use
of low-priced charter flights, as fares
of scheduled flights had increased
substantially over the past year.
Other transportation receipts were
unchanged at $3.0 billion; payments
increased $0.1 billion to $2.7 billion. A
decrease in freight receipts of U.S.
carriers from the decline in U.S. exports was offset by higher port expenditures of foreign carriers from
the increase in U.S. imports. An increase in freight payments to foreign
carriers—mostly tanker operators—
was nearly offset by a decrease in

Transfers under military sales contracts increased $0.1 billion to $3.4
billion. An increase in deliveries of
aircraft to a number of countries was
partly offset by lower deliveries of armored vehicles, particulary to the
Middle East. Direct defense expenditures abroad decreased $0.2 billion to
$2.9 billion. Most types of expenditures were lower; exceptions were increases in personnel expenditures in

Net U.S. purchases of foreign securities were a record $3.1 billion, compared with $0,4 billion. The increase
was more than accounted for by $3.5
billion in foreign new issues in the
United States—also a record—spurred
by the sharper decline in U.S. than in

Footnotes to U.S. International Transactions Tables 1-10
General notes for all tables:
r
Re vised.
p
Preliminary.
* Less than $500,000 (±).
n.a. Not available.
Table 1-2:
1. Credits, + : exports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to United States; capital inflows (increase in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in U.S. assets); decrease in U.S. official reserve assets.
Debits, —: imports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to foreigners; capital outflows (decrease in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or increase in U.S. assets); increase in U.S. official reserve assets.
2. Excludes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs (see line 16).
3. Excludes exports of goods under U.S. military agency sales contracts identified in Census
export documents, excludes imports of goods under direct defense expenditures identified in
Census import documents, and reflects various other adjustments (for valuation, coverage, and
timing) of Census statistics to balance of payments basis; see table 3.
4. For all areas, amounts outstanding September 30, 1982, were as follows in millions of dollars:
line 38, 30,992; line 39, 11,148; line 40, 4,809; line 41, 6,406; line 42, 8,630.
5. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
6. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible
and noncovertible bonds and notes.
7. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere, and
of debt securities of U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
8. Includes, primarily, U.S. Government liabilities associated with military sales contracts and
other transactions arranged with or through foreign official agencies; see table 4.
9. Consists of investments in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations
and State and local governments.
10. Beginning with estimates for the second quarter of 1978, the distinction between short- and
long-term liabilities is discontinued.
11. Conceptually, the sum of lines 79 and 74 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the
NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the international transactions accounts for the treatment of
gold, (b) excludes capital gains and losses of foreign affiliates of U.S. parent companies from the
NIPA's measure of income receipts from direct investment abroad, and from the corresponding
income payments, and (c) beginning with 1973-IV, excludes shipments and financing of military
orders placed by Israel under Public Law 93-199 and subsequent similar legislation. Line 77 differs from "net exports of goods and services" in the NIPA's for the same reasons with the exception of the military financing, which is excluded, and the additional exclusion of U.S. Government interest payments to foreigners. The latter payments, for NIPA's purposes, are excluded
from "net exports of goods and services" but included with transfers in "net foreign investment."
A reconciliation table of the international accounts and the NIPA's foreign transactions account
appears in the "Business Situation" in this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
12. The maturity breakdown is available only on the limited basis shown in table 7.
13. The maturity breakdown is available only on the limited basis shown in table 8.
14. Includes foreign currency denominated notes sold to private residents abroad. See table 9,
line 35, footnote 7.
Table 3:
1. Exports, Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. U.S. port of exportation; imports,
Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. foreign port of exportation for 1981. In 1982, imports reflect f.a.s. Customs values. The unadjusted figures for exports and imports shown in lines
Al, A10, Dl, and D56, are as published by the Census Bureau, as are the seasonally adjusted
figures in lines Al and A10; Census data are adjusted to include trade between the U.S. Virgin
Islands and foreign countries. The seasonally adjusted figures in lines Dl and D56 are prepared
by BEA and represent the summation of seasonally adjusted 4-digit end-use categories (see Technical Notes in the June 1980 SURVEY).
2. Beginning in 1970, adjustments in lines A5, A12, B9, B26, and B43 reflect the Census Bureau's reconciliation of discrepancies in the merchandise trade statistics published by the United
States and the counterpart statistics published in Canada. These adjustments also have been distributed to the affected end-use categories in section C.
3. Exports of military equipment under U.S. military agency sales contracts with foreign governments (line A6), and direct imports by the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard (line
A13), to the extent such trade is identifiable from Customs declarations. These exports are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 3 (transfers under U.S. military agency sales contracts); and the
imports are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 19 (direct defense expenditures).
4. Addition of electrical energy; deduction of exposed motion picture film for rental rather than
sale; net change in stock of U.S.-owned grains in storage in Canada; net timing adjustments for
goods recorded in Census data in one period but found to have been shipped in another; and coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data.
5. Correction for discrepancy between sum of four quarters, seasonally adjusted, and the unadjusted annual totals, plus the difference between Census published seasonally adjusted totals and
the summation of seasonally adjusted 4-digit end-use categories.
6. Addition of inland freight on U.S. merchandise imports from Canada; addition of electrical
energy; deduction of foreign charges for repair of U.S. vessels abroad, which are included in
tables 1, 2, and 10, line 22 (other transportation); net timing adjustements for goods recorded in
Census data in one period but found to have been shipped in another; and coverage adjustments
for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data.
7. Annual and unadjusted quarterly data shown in this table correspond to country and area
data in table 10, lines 2 and 18, except that trade with international organizations, namely, purchases of nonmonetary gold from the IMF and transfers of tin to the International Tin Council
(ITC), are included in data for other countries in Asia and Africa. The memorandum items are
defined as follows: Industrial countries: Western Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa; Members of OPEC: Venezuela, Ecquador, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi
Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, Gabon; Other countries:
Latin American Republics, Other Western Hemisphere, and other countries in Asia and Africa,
less OPEC, the IMF and the ITC.
8. The statistical identification of automotive products exports to Canada (line D43) is not as
complete and comprehensive as the identification of imports under the U.S.-Canada Automotive
Products Trade Act. However, the underestimation of automotive shipments to Canada due to
unidentified auto parts and unreported exports, amounting to about $1,842 million in 1981, has
been largely corrected in line C24.
9. Includes nuclear fuel materials and fuels.
Table 4:
1. Expenditures to release Israel from its contractual liability to pay for defense articles and
services purchased through military sales contracts—authorized under Public Law 93-199, section
4, and subsequent similar legislation—are included in line A3. Deliveries against these military
sales contracts are included in line CIO; see footnote 2. Of the line A3 items, part of the military
expenditures is applied in lines A38 and A41 to reduce short-term assets previously recorded in




lines A36 and C8; this application of funds is excluded from lines C3 and C4. A second part of line
A3 expenditures finances future deliveries under military sales contracts and is applied directly
to lines A37 and C9. A third portion of line A3, disbursed directly to finance purchases by Israel
and other countries from commercial suppliers, is included in line A32.
2. Transactions under military sales contracts are those in which the Department of Defense
sells and transfers military goods and services to a foreign purchaser, on a cash or credit basis.
Purchases by foreigners directly from commercial suppliers are not included as transactions
under military sales contracts. The entries for the several categories of transactions related to
military sales contracts in this and other tables are partially estimated from incomplete data.
3. The identification of transactions involving direct dollar outflows from the United States is
made in reports by each operating agency. Data for the third quarter 1982 are extrapolated estimates by BEA, because of incomplete reports from one operating agency.
4. Line A33 includes foreign currency collected as interest, and lines A38 and B2 include foreign currency collected as principal, as recorded in lines A13 and A14 respectively.
5. Includes (a) advance payments to the Department of Defense (on military sales contracts)
financed by loans extended to foreigners by U.S. Government agencies and (b) the contraentry for
the part of line CIO which was delivered without prepayment by the foreign purchaser. Also, includes expenditures of appropriations available to release foreign purchasers from liability to
make repayment.
6. Excludes liabilities associated with military sales contracts financed by U.S. Government
grants and credits and included in line C2.
7. Includes $1,000 million prepayment for petroleum to be delivered by Mexico.
8. Receipt on short-term Commodity Credit Corporation asset financing U.S. merchandise
export.
Table 5:
1. Acquisition of capital stock of existing and newly established companies, capitalization of intercompany accounts, and other equity contributions.
2. Sales and liquidations of capital stock and other equity holdings, total and partial.
3. Petroleum includes the exploration, development and production of crude oil and gas and the
transportation, refining, and marketing of petroleum products exclusive of petrochemicals. Manufacturing excludes petroleum refining. "Other" industries includes mining; trade; banking; finance (except banking), insurance, and real estate; agriculture, forestry, and fishing; construction; transportation, communication, and public utilities; and services.
Table 6:
1. As published in Treasury Bulletin. Treasury data are based on transactions by foreigners reported by banks and brokers in the United States; net purchases by foreigners ( + ) correspond to
net U.S. sales (+).
2. Redemptions consist of scheduled retirements and identifiable premature retirements of
U.S.-held foreign debt securities, and estimates for redemptions of Canadian issues held by U.S.
residents based on Canadian statistics. Unidentifiable nonscheduled retirements appear in line
31.
3. Consists of International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), International
Development Association (IDA), International Finance Corporation (IFC), Asian Development
Bank (ADB), and Inter-American Development Bank (IDE).

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

pany account transactions with other
affiliates, there was an increase of
$0.5 billion to $1.5 billion in outflows
to petroleum affiliates and an inflow,
unchanged at $1.1 billion, from other
nonpetroleum affiliates. Reinvested
earnings increased $0.3 billion to $1.5
billion.
Claims on foreigners reported by
U.S. banks increased $21.0 billion,
compared with an increase of $36.9
billion. By type, the increase in
claims on bank's own foreign offices
slowed to $11.6 billion from $12.0 billion; claims on unaffiliated foreign
banks dropped to an increase of $9.5
billion from an increase of $14.1 billion; and claims on other foreigners
dropped to an increase of $3.6 billion
from and increase of $10.8 billion.
With the exception of a step-up in
claims on Caribbean and United
Kingdom banking centers—mainly
foreign branches of U.S. banks—to an
increase of $14.8 billion from an increase of $10.9 billion, increases in
claims on other areas slowed, as
shown in the accompanying tabulation. A large part of the slowdown in

of Latin American and other developing countries rose and the capacity of
some countries to meet large debt
service burdens came into question.
Claims on Latin American (excluding
the Caribbean) increased $4.5 billion,
compared with an increase of $11.7
billion, as claims on Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, and Mexico showed
little increase after exceptionally
strong growth throughout the first
half of the year. Mexico and Argentina requested rescheduling of some
private debt.
Banks' custody accounts decreased
$3.6 billion, following a decrease of
$0.6 billion. U.S. money market funds
apparently transferred some funds
from foreign certificates of deposit
and commercial paper holdings to
U.S. Treasury securities.

creased $0.2 billion, compared with
$3.1 billion. Although there were
large inflows from a Middle East
member, most OPEC members reduced their dollar assets. Assets of
other countries were unchanged, following an increase of $0.9 billion.
Net foreign purchases of U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securities were $0.1 billion, compared with
$2.5 billion. The third quarter was
one of the lowest on record as a result
of a shift to net bond sales of $0.2 billion from record net purchases of $1.7
billion. When yields dropped sharply
in the third quarter, foreigners apparently took profits, following price increases of 20 percent since June and
25 percent from 1 year earlier. Net
purchases of U.S. stocks by foreign
residents were $0.3 billion, down from
$0.8 billion despite an 11-percent increase in U.S. stock prices from June
to September. On a gross basis, foreign sales increased $3.8 billion (60
percent) and foreign purchases increased $3.2 billion (45 percent), both
to record levels. The United Kingdom
and Canada were net purchasers, at
$0.7 billion and $0.2 billion, respectively. Other Western European countries, mainly Switzerland, were net
sellers at $0.4 billion, and Japan sold
$0.2 billion.
Inflows for foreign direct investment in the United States were $2.3
billion, compared with $2.8 billion.

Foreign assets in the United States
Foreign official assets in the United
States increased $2.1 billion in the
third quarter, compared with $2.0 billion in the second. Assets of industrial
countries increased $1.9 billion following a decrease of $1.9 billion (table B).
Large decreases in assets of France
and Japan, reflecting official dollar
intervention sales by those countries,
were partly offset by increases in Germany's assets. Assets of Canada, Italy,
Belgium, and Norway increased as
those countries acquired dollar reserves. Assets of OPEC members in-

the increase in claims was on industrial countries (excluding the United
Kingdom), where business conditions
remained depressed. A small increase
in claims on Europe (excluding the
United Kingdom) was more than
offset by a reduction in claims on
Japan and on Canada, which included
some Canadian Government repayment of drawings on credit lines with
private U.S. banks. Over one-half of
the slowdown in the increase in
claims was on developing countries.
U.S. banks were increasingly aware of
their country risk exposure as debts

The decrease largely reflected one
transaction involving a transfer of
funds borrowed in the United States
to a foreign parent. Reinvested earnings increased $0.1 billion.
Liabilities to private foreigners and
international financial institutions reported by U.S. banks increased $11.5
billion, compared with an increase of
$24.6 billion. The largest slowdown
was in banks' liabilities to Caribbean
and United Kingdom banking centers—to an increase of $4.5 billion
from an increase of $9.3 billion. The
slowdown, in connection with the
step-up in claims on these centers
mentioned earlier, resulted in increased net funding of branches from
the United States, partly as the cost
of U.S. funds declined more rapidly




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
than that of foreign-source funds. Liabilities to unaffiliated foreign banks
and other foreigners slowed to an increase of $7.4 billion from an increase
of $12.7 billion. The 500 basis point
decline in U.S. deposit rates to levels
close to some key foreign rates slowed
deposit increases from most geographic areas, especially Latin America.
Foreign resident's purchases of U.S.
Treasury securities increased $1.3 billion, compared with $2.1 billion, as
yields on those securities also declined.

statistics of the United States and
Canada and revision of the 1980
current-account reconciliation were
completed in October 1982 (table E).
Revisions in the U.S. international
transactions data based on the reconciliations with Canada will be incorporated in the published data in June
1983 insofar as is possible. Full substitution of the reconciled data for the
previously published data is not possible because U.S. transactions with
other areas would be affected.
Current-account reconciliations for
the years 1970-79 appear in the June
1975,
September 1976, September
1977, December 1979, June 1981, and

1. M 1-A has been discontinued. M 1-B will now be designated "M 1."
t Effective Feb. 1982 SURVHY. the money stock measures and components have been revised
back to 1959. The Federal Reserve has redefined the monetary aggregates. The redefinition
was prompted by the emergence in recent years of new monetary assets:—for example, negotiable
order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts and money market mutual fund shares—and alterations in
the basic character of established monetary assets—for example, the growing similarity of
and substitution between the deposits of thrift institutions and those of commercial banks.
M o n t h l y data from 1959 to date are available from the Banking Section of the Division of
Research and Statistics at the Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D.C. 20551.
$ Composition of the money stock measures is as follows:
A/7.—This measure is currency plus demand deposits at commercial banks and interest-earning
checkable deposits at all depositary institutions—namely NOW accounts, automatic transfer
from savings (ATS) accounts, and credit union share draft balances—as well as a small
a m o u n t of demand deposits at thrift institutions that cannot, using present data sources, be
separated from interest-earning checkable deposits.
A/2.—This measure adds to M l overnight repurchase agreements (RP's) issued by commercial banks and certain overnight Eurodollars (those issued by Caribbean branches of
member banks) held by U.S. nonbank residents, money market mutual fund shares, and
savings and small-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of less than
SI00,000) at all depositary institutions. Depositary institutions are commercial banks (including
U.S. agencies and branches of foreign banks, Edge Act corporations, and foreign investment
companies), m u t u a l savings banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions.
M3.—This measure equals M2 plus large-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of $100,000 or more) at all depositary institutions (including negotiable CD's) plus
term RP's issued by commercial banks and savings and loan associations.
L.—This broad measure of liquid assets equals M3 plus other liquid assets consisting of
other Eurodollar holdings of U.S. nonbank residents, bankers acceptances, commercial paper,
savings bonds, and marketable liquid Treasury obligations.
$$ Includes ATS and NOW balances at all institutions, credit union share draft balances,
and demand deposits at mutual savings banks.
# Overnight (and continuing contract) RP's are those issued by commercial banks to the
nonbank public, and overnight Eurodollars are those issued by Caribbean branches of member
b a n k s to U.S. nonbank customers.
fe Small time deposits are those issued in amounts of less than $100,000. Large time
deposits are those issued in amounts of $100,000 or more and are net of the holdings of
domestic banks, thrift institutions, the U.S. Government, money market mutual funds, and
foreign banks and official institutions.
