NOTE.—This issue

of the SURVEY went to the printer on January 6,1992.
It incorporates data from the following monthly BEA news releases:
Gross Domestic Product (Dec. 20),
Personal Income and Outlays (Dec. 23), and
Composite Indexes of Leading, Coincident, and Lagging
Indicators (Dec. 31).

the BUSINESS SITUATION

P INAL estimates for the third quarter qf 1991 show that real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an
annual rate of 1.8 percent; preliminary
estimates had shown
a 1.7-percent increase (table I). 1 Personal consumption expenditures, net exports, and
government purchases were revised up
slightly; residential and nonresidential fixed investment and the change
in business inventories were revised
down slightly. The final estimate of
the third-quarter increase in real gross
domestic purchases was unchanged
from the preliminary estimate of a
3.4-percent increase.
The final estimate of the thirdquarter increase in real gross national
product (GNP) was unchanged from
the preliminary estimate of a 2.0percent increase. GNP equals GDP
plus net receipts of factor income from
the rest of the world. In the final
estimate of GNP, the small upward revision in GDP was offset by a small
downward revision in net receipts of
factor income.
Corporate Profits
Profits from current production—
profits before tax plus inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) and capital consumption adjustment (CCAdj)—
increased $2.6 billion in the third quarter of 1991 after increasing $1.4 billion in the second quarter (table 2).
The third-quarter increase was more
than accounted for by domestic profits
of financial corporations (up $2.2 billion) and profits from the rest of the
world (up $1.3 billion); domestic profits
NOTE.—Daniel Larkins prepared this article.
1. Quarterly estimates in the national income and
product accounts are expressed at seasonally adjusted
annual rates, and quarterly changes are differences between these rates. Quarter-to-quarter percent changes
are annualized.

Looking Ahead...
• New Look for the SURVEY. The SURVEY will take on anew look beginning
with the January 1992 issue. A redesigned cover will feature a list of the
articles in the issue. On the inside, the text and tables will be set in new—
and larger—typefaces, and margins will be widened. These changes are
being made to improve the appearance and readability of the SURVEY.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
of nonfinancial corporations decreased
$0.9 billion, reflecting a decrease in
profits per unit.
Cash flow from current production,
a profits-related measure of internally
generated funds available to corporations for investment, decreased $2.6
billion. The ratio of cash flow to
nonresidential fixed investment increased to 77.5 percent because nonresidential fixed investment decreased
proportionately more than cash flow.
Profits by industry.—Profits before
tax (PBT) with IVA is the best available
measure of industry profits because
estimates of the CCAdj by industry
do not exist. For domestic industries, PBT with IVA decreased $4.0
billion. The decrease was more than
accounted for by decreases in trade and
in the transportation and public utilities group. Manufacturing profits increased $1.2 billion, mainly reflecting
improved earnings in chemicals and in
motor vehicles.
Domestic profits of financial corporations increased $1.4 billion, mainly
reflecting improved earnings of savings
and loan associations and of property
and casualty insurance companies.




Profits from the rest of the world
increased $1.3 billion. This component measures inflows of profits to U.S.
corporations from their foreign affiliates less outflows of profits to foreign
corporations from their U.S. affiliates.
Inflows increased $3.4 billion, and outflows increased $2.1 billion. Both
petroleum and nonpetroleum affiliates
contributed to the increase in inflows.
The increase in outflows was more
than accounted for by U.S. affiliates of
corporations in Australia and Japan.
Profits before tax and related measures.—PBT increased $12.0 billion.
The difference between the $2.6 billion
increase in profits from current production and the $12.0 billion increase in
PBT reflected a decrease in the IVA
that was partly offset by an increase in
the CCAdj.
The IVA is an estimate of inventory
profits with the sign reversed. Inventory profits increased $14.7 billion, reflecting an increase in prices of inventoried goods, especially petroleum. The
Producer Price Index for crude petroleuih increased at an annual rate of
21.9 percent (not seasonally adjusted)
in the third quarter.

Selected NIPA Tables
New estimates in this issue: Third quarter 1991, final.
The set of 53 NIPA tables were shown in the November 1991 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. For most series, revised annual estimates for 1987-90
and revised quarterly estimates for 1988:1-1991:111 were included. Leaders were shown for several tables and parts of tables that were not available.
As this issue goes to press, the following tables are not yet available: Tables 6.1 C, 7.4, 7.6, 7.9, 7.10, 7.11, and 7.12; they are not shown in this issue.
Also, parts of tables 1.10,1.16, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.13, and 8.1 are not yet available; leaders are shown for the parts that are not yet available.
Monthly estimates of personal income and outlays for 1987-90 are shown beginning on page 19. These tables reflect the comprehensive revision of
theNIPA's.
Corrections to several "Selected NIPA Tables" and to several series included in November's "Summary National Income and Product Series" are
shown in the errata on page 23.
The complete set of NIPA tables will appear in the January 1992 SURVEY.
NOTE.—This section of the SURVEY is prepared by the National Income and Wealth Division and the Government Division.

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 GDP. The former is the difference between two inventory stocks, each valued at their respective end-ofquarter prices. The latter is the change in the physical volume of inventories valued at average prices of the
quarter. In addition, changes calculated from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual
rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Final sales of domestic business equals final sales of domestic product
less gross product of households and institutions and general government and includes a small amount of final
sales by farm.

NOTE.—The quantity and price indexes in this table are calculated from weighted averages of the detailed
output and prices used to prepare each aggregate and component. The fixed weighted measures use as weights
the composition of output in 1987. The chain-type indexes with annual weights use weights for the preceding
and current years. The indexes with benchmark- years weights use weights of 1959, 1963, 1967, 1972, 1977,
1982, and 1987 and the most recent year. Percent changes from preceding period for selected items in this
table are shown in table 8.1.

Annual and quarterly current-dollar estimates for 1970-76 of nonresidential gross private domestic investment and of the aggregates for which gross private domestic investment is a component were
incorrect. As a result, a number of the percent changes for the period 1970-77 and 1970:1-1977:1
were also incorrect. The correct levels and percent changes are shown below. The corresponding
constant-dollar estimates were correct.

The Comprehensive Revision of the U.S. National Income and
Product Accounts: A Review of Revisions and
Major Statistical Changes
AN early December, the Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA) released results of a comprehensive—that is,
benchmark—revision of the national
income and product accounts (NIPA's).
This comprehensive revision is the
ninth of its kind; the last such revision was released in December 1985.
In this revision, most current-dollar
series are revised back to 1978, and
many are revised back to earlier years;
all constant-dollar series are revised
back to 1929. (For information on the
availability of the revised estimates,
see the box on page 26.)
Comprehensive revisions differ from
annual NIPA revisions because of the
scope of the changes incorporated and
because of the number of years subject to revision. (Annual NIPA revisions are typically carried back 3 years
to incorporate new and revised source
data from a variety of annual government surveys and administrative
records and reports.) Comprehensive
revisions incorporate three kinds of
changes: Definitional and classificational changes, statistical changes, and
new and redesigned tables. The definitional and classificational changes
incorporated in this comprehensive revision were described in an article in
the September 1991 SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS, the major statistical changes
are reviewed in a section of this article
beginning on page 34, and the new and
redesigned tables were presented in an
article in the October 1991 SURVEY.
The incorporation of definitional and
classificational changes (hereafter referred to as "definitional changes") and
of statistical changes leads to revisions in current-dollar estimates and
in estimates of prices. In turn, these
revisions lead to revisions in constantdollar estimates. The first three sections of this article describe the impact of the definitional and statistical
changes on the current-dollar annual
estimates for 1959-90, the constantdollar annual estimates for 1977-90,
24




and the quarterly estimates for 1988:11991:111. The final section reviews the
major statistical changes incorporated
in this comprehensive revision.

Annual Revisions in Current
Dollars
As shown in table 1, the currentdollar revisions in level for major aggregates are generally upward. Prior
to 1977, the revisions are mostly small,
and they are largely traceable to definitional changes. The largest revisions result from the change that redefines government sales and nontaxes.
This change lowers both State and
local government purchases and personal tax and nontax payments and
raises personal consumption expenditures for services; it has little effect
on gross domestic product (GDP) and
gross national product (GNP) because
the revisions are largely offsetting.
Two other definitional changes result
in noticeable revisions—amounting to
$2.0 billion or more—prior to 1977.
The reclassification of interest paid by
the Federal Government to foreigners
raises payments of factor income, thus
lowering GNP but not affecting GDP,
and lowers net interest, thus lowering

national income. The reclassification
of bad debt losses as financial transactions raises corporate profits and lowers proprietors' income, rental income
of persons, and business transfer payments. This change has little effect
on GDP and GNP; it raises national
income and lowers personal income.
One statistical change, the introduction of a new procedure for estimating
construction of private nonresidential
structures and of State and local government nonresidential structures, results in upward revisions back to 1970,
raising both GDP and GNP. Another
statistical change, the introduction of
a new methodology for estimating imputed rental income of farm dwellings,
lowers personal consumption expenditures (PCE) and farm proprietors' income back to 1973; this change lowers GDP, GNP, national income, and
personal income.
The remainder of the discussion of
the revisions in the NIPA estimates focuses on 1977-90, the period in which
the revisions are concentrated. The
dollar revisions for 1977-90 in the components of the five summary NIPA's
are shown in appendix A. Revisions
in the major components of these accounts are discussed in some detail in
the following sections.
National income and product

GDP in current dollars is revised
up for all years from 1977 through
1990.
The percent revision in the
level of GDP ranges from 0.5 percent for 1977 to 1.7 percent for 1990.
Statistical changes account for most
of the revision; the change that has
the largest impact is the introduction of the new procedure for estimating nonresidential structures. Other
statistical changes that contribute to
the upward revisions are the incorporation of the results of the 1982
benchmark input-output (I-O) accounts
(largely into the estimates of produc-

December 1991

ers' durable equipment), the Annual
Survey of Manufactures for 1988 and
for 1989 (change in business inventories), and the Annual Retail Trade
Survey for 1988 and for 1989 (PCE).
Definitional changes have their greatest impact in 1986, when they account
for about one-fifth of the total revision. The changes that contribute
most to the upward revisions in GDP
are (1) the change in imputed brokerage charges (PCE and State and
local government purchases), (2) the
reclassification of nine Federal Government agencies (Federal nondefense
purchases), (3) the reclassification of
capital gains distributions (PCE), and
(4) the capitalization of monetary interest on own-account construction
(nonresidential structures).
GNP is revised up for all years. The
percent revision in the level of GNP is
less than that for GDP, ranging from
0.2 percent for 1977 to 1.1 percent
for 1990 (In the last comprehensive
revision, the largest percent revision
in the level of GNP was 4.0 percent.)
In general, the impacts of the definitional and statistical changes on GNP
are similar to those on GDP. Two exceptions are definitional changes that
affect receipts and payments of factor

income: The reclassification of interest
paid by the Federal Government to foreigners as a payment of factor income
(which lowers GNP); and the recording
of nonresident taxes as transfer payments, which raises both receipts and
payments of factor income (because receipts are raised more than payments,
GNP is also raised).
National income is revised down for
1977-81 and up for 1982-90. The
largest percent revision in the level
of national income is 0.9 percent in
1990. (In the last comprehensive revision, the largest percent revision in
the level of national income was 4.4
percent.) The downward revisions for
1977-81 largely result from the definitional change that reclassifies interest
paid by Federal Government to foreigners. Beginning with 1982, substantial upward statistical revisions more
than offset downward definitional revisions. For all or part of 1982-87,
the following are the major statistical
changes that result in upward revisions: The improved adjustments for
misreporting on tax returns that are
used in estimating nonfarm proprietors' income and wages and salaries,
information from the 19821-0 accounts
that lowers rental expenses and thus

raises rental income of persons, information from a trade source that increases the employer's share of health
insurance premiums, and a variety of
improvements in the procedures for
estimating net interest. For 198890, the upward revisions also reflect
the incorporation of tax return sources
for the estimates of corporate profits and net interest and of Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) tabulations of
wages and salaries covered by State
unemployment insurance.
Product-side components
Personal consumption expenditures
(PCE) for goods.—PCE for goods is revised down for 1977-88 and up for
1989 and 1990 (table 2). These revisions are largely accounted for by a
number of statistical changes.
PCE for durable goods is revised
down for all years; the revisions are
primarily in motor vehicles, mainly in
purchases of used autos and of "tires,
tubes, accessories, and other parts."
The downward revisions in used auto
purchases by consumers reflect an updating of the depreciation schedule
used to determine the constant-dollar
value and, prior to 1984, the carry-

ing back of an adjustment for quality
change in the valuation of used autos in current dollars. Beginning with
1981, expenditures for "tires, tubes, accessories, and other parts" is revised
down substantially; the revisions result from information from the 1982
1-0 accounts on the consumer share of
purchases of these items.
PCE for nondurable goods is revised
up beginning with 1980; the revisions
for recent years are sizable. Much
of the revision is traceable to upward
revisions in expenditures for gasoline
and oil, reflecting newly available information from the 1982 1-0 accounts,
the 1987 Census of Retail Trade, and
the 1987 Truck Inventory and Use
Survey. Within nondurables, new information from the 1982 1-0 accounts
and the 1987 Census of Retail Trade
on the product composition of sales by
retail stores leads to substantial downward revisions in expenditures for food
and substantial upward revisions in
expenditures for "other nondurables."
Sizable upward revisions in "other nondurables" also reflect the incorporation
of data from the 1988 and the 1989 Annual Retail Trade Survey. Beginning
with 1978, expenditures for fuel oil and
coal are revised down, reflecting information from the 1982 1-0 accounts on
the consumer share of purchases.
PCE for services.—PCE for services is revised up substantially for
all years.
These revisions are
largely accounted for by the definitional change that redefines government sales and nontaxes; this change
adds expenditures for certain services
provided by government—primarily
tuition payments for higher education
and charges for medical care—to PCE
for services. Statistical changes result in sizable upward and downward




revisions in a number of services components. Data from the 1982 1-0 accounts result in upward revisions for
most years—especially since 1982—in
transportation services, services furnished without payment by financial
intermediaries, expense of handling
life insurance, and religious and welfare activities. Housing services is
revised down for all years for both
nonfarm and farm dwellings: The revisions in nonfarm housing services
mainly reflect newly available data on
units from the 1990 Census of Housing, and the revisions in farm housing
services reflect the new methodology
for estimating imputed rental value of
farm dwellings. Among other services, professional medical services is
revised down to reflect the elimination of a double-counting of physicians'
fees included in hospital charges, and
personal care services is revised down
to reflect data from the 1982 1-0 accounts; net foreign travel is revised
down to reflect data from the 1982
1-0 accounts and, for years prior to
1986, to carry back several balance-ofpayments-accounts revisions that had
been introduced in the 1987 and 1989
annual NIPA revisions.
Nonresidential structures.—Nonresidential structures is revised up substantially for all years (table 3). These
revisions largely reflect the introduction of the new procedure for estimating construction. Within structures, the upward revisions are concentrated in industrial and commercial
buildings.
Nonresidential producers' durable
equipment
(PDE).—Nonresidential
PDE is revised up for all years. The revisions are largely in information processing and related equipment, mainly
in computers and in communication
equipment, and reflect information
from the 1982 1-0 accounts. Within
transportation and related equipment,
net sales of used autos to consumers by
business—a negative entry in PDE—is

Residential investment.—-Except for
1990, the revisions in residential investment are small. A downward revision for 1990, which is primarily in
single-family construction, reflects the
incorporation of revised data from the
Census Bureau on the value of new
construction put in place.
Change in business inventories.—
Revisions in change in business inventories vary from year to year in
terms of direction and size. For all
years, revisions in the change in farm
inventories largely reflect the reclassification of commodity loans made
by the Commodity Credit Corporation
(CCC). Within nonfarm inventories,
the change in manufacturing inventories is revisedaip for 1988-90, reflecting newly available information from
the Annual Survey of Manufactures
for 1988 and for 1989; the change
in "other" inventories is revised down
for 1988 and 1989, reflecting the incorporation of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tabulations of inventory book
values from corporate tax returns for
1988.
Net exports of goods and services.—
As part of this comprehensive revision,
GDP replaces GNP as the primary production aggregate; this replacement
leads to a redefinition of net exports
of goods and services to exclude
net
receipts of factor income.1 (Exports

is redefined to exclude receipts of factor income, and imports is redefined to
exclude payments of factor income.)
Revisions in net exports of goods and
services (as redefined) are generally
small (table 4). For all years, both exports and imports are revised up; the
revisions largely result from the definitional change that records exports
and imports of services on a gross basis
and from the statistical change related
to territorial adjustment, which affects
both goods and services. Statistical
revisions also reflect the incorporation
of the latest balance of payments accounts; these revisions are mainly in
travel and passenger fares, beginning
with 1984, and in foreign students'
expenditures, beginning with 1981.
The addenda to table 4 show the revisions in net receipts of factor income.
The downward revisions for all years
reflect larger upward revisions in payments of factor income than in receipts
of factor income. The upward revisions
in payments of factor income largely
result from two definitional changes:
The reclassification of interest paid by
the Federal Government to foreigners,
and the recording of payments of in-

terest on a gross basis. The upward
revisions in receipts of factor income
largely result from the recording of
interest on a gross basis.
Government purchases.—Government purchases are revised down substantially for all years (table 5). The
downward revisions are accounted for
by the redefinition of government sales
and personal nontaxes, which substantially lowers State and local government purchases of services for all
years. These downward revisions are
partly offset by upward statistical revisions in State and local government
purchases of structures, reflecting the
new procedure for estimating construction, and compensation of employees.
Prior to 1990, the revisions in employee compensation largely reflect the
inclusion of the wages and salaries
of students working for public educational institutions and of other State
and local government employees not
covered by unemployment insurance;
for 1990, they largely reflect BLS tabulations of wages and salaries covered
by State unemployment insurance.
Revisions in Federal Government
purchases are generally small except
for years when the reclassification of
CCC commodity loans results in sizable upward or downward revisions in
Federal nondefense purchases.
Income-side components
Compensation of employees.—Compensation of employees is revised up
for all years, substantially for 1990
(table 6). Upward revisions in wages
and salaries are mainly attributable to

on tax returns; the inclusion of wages

insurance; and, for 1990, to BLS tabulations of wages and salaries covered
by State unemployment insurance.
Upward revisions in supplements to
wages and salaries are more than accounted for by upward statistical revisions in other labor income. Within
other labor income, revisions in health
insurance are attributable to revised
estimates of the employer's share of
these contributions derived from information from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and BLS; revisions in pensions
are attributable to IRS tabulations of
data on contributions from corporate
tax returns for 1988.
Proprietors' income with inventory
valuation adjustment (IVA) and capital
consumption adjustment (CCAdj).—
Proprietors' income with IVA and
CCAdj is revised down for all years
except 1984r-86 (table 7). Farm proprietors' income is revised down for all
years; the revisions reflect both definitional and statistical changes. The
definitional changes are the reclassification of CCC commodity loans and
the elimination of the defaulters' gain
associated with the reclassification of
bad debt losses as financial transactions. The statistical changes are
the introduction of a new procedure
for estimating imputed rental value
of farm dwellings and the incorporation of revised estimates of production
expenses from the Department of Agriculture based on the 1987 Census of
Agriculture and on the 1988 Agricultural Economics and Land Ownership
Survey.
Nonfarm proprietors' income is revised down for 1977-79, up for 198086, and down for 1987-90. The elimination of the defaulters' gain associated with bad debt losses results in

Government to foreigners. Downward
definitional revisions continue through
1990; although these revisions become
large, they are more than offset by
even larger upward statistical revisions. For 1982-87, the statistical
revisions are largely accounted for by
the following changes: (1) Newly available IRS tabulations of interest paid
by partnerships for residential rental
property, (2) improvements in the adjustment to interest reported on partnership tax return data to account for
interest passed through to the individual partners (see proprietors' income),
(3) improvements in the procedure
used to convert data from federally
insured banks^ to represent all commercial banks in estimating imputed
interest paid by them, (4) improved
adjustments for interest misreported
as business receipts by credit agencies and captive finance companies^ (5)
revised estimates for 1987 of income
earned by regulated investment companies, (6) newly available IRS tabulations of interest paid by several types
of nonprofit institutions, and (7) revised estimates of mortgage interest
(see rental income of persons). Beginning with 1988, upward revisions also
reflect the incorporation of IRS tabulations of corporate tax returns for 1988
and the incorporation of data from several other annual sources for 1989 and
1990.

Subsidies less the current surplus
of government enterprises.—Revisions
in subsidies less the current surplus
of government enterprises are generally small (table 13). They largely
reflect the definitional changes involving the reclassification of nine Federal
Government agencies.
Consumption of fixed capital.—Con-

Indirect business tax and nontax
liability.—Indirect business tax and
nontax liability is revised down for all
years (table 11). The downward revisions are more than accounted for
by a statistical change that transfers
interest earned by State and local governments on industrial development
bonds from rental receipts, which is
included in nontaxes, to interest received. These downward statistical
revisions are partly offset by upward
revisions for all years tjjat result from
the definitional changes that involve
the reclassification of nine Federal
Government agencies.
Business transfer payments.—Revisions in business transfer payments
are small for 1977-86; business transfer payments are revised down for
1987-90 (table 12). The downward revisions are more than accounted for
by downward revisions in transfer payments to persons, which largely reflect the elimination of the defaulters'
gain associated with bad debt losses.
The downward revisions in transfers
to persons are partly offset by upward revisions in transfers to the rest
of the world, which result from another definitional change, the record-




sumption of fixed capital—that is, economic depreciation and allowances for
accidental damage—is revised up for
all years (table 14). The upward revisions largely result from the higher
estimates of fixed investment.
Capital consumption allowances
(CCA) is also revised up for all
years, but by less than is consumption of fixed capital. Upward revisions in the CCA of corporations and
of nonfarm sole proprietorships and
partnerships—which are tax-returnbased depreciation measures—reflect a
number of statistical changes. These
changes include the incorporation of
corrections to IRS tabulations of corporate tax return amortization for 198285 and the incorporation of IRS tabulations of corporate tax return data
for 1988 and of noncorporate business
tax return data for 1989. Upward
revisions in the CCA of nonprofit institutions serving individuals reflect a
new estimating procedure that results
in higher estimates offixedinvestment
by these institutions.
The CCAdj—which is derived as the
difference between the CCA and the
economic measure of depreciation—is
revised down for all years. The revision is almost entirely in the adjustments for corporate profits and for
nonfarm proprietors' income.

Personal income and outlays

Personal income is revised down for
1977-79, up for 1980-88, down for
1989, and up for 1990 (table 15). These
revisions reflect a combination of substantial upward and downward revisions in several components. The revisions in wages and salaries, other labor
income, proprietors' income, and rental
income of persons were described previously. Among other components, revisions in personal interest income are
particularly large.
Personal interest income is revised
up for all years, substantially beginning with 1984. The upward revisions largely stem from the previously
described2 statistical revisions in net
interest. These revisions are partly
offset by sizable upward revisions in
interest received by State and local
governments, which reflect the inclusion of interest paid by businesses
for industrial bonds (see indirect business taxes), and in interest received by
the Federal Government, which reflect
higher estimates of the interest paid by
persons and by business because of late
filings of income tax returns.
Personal dividend income is revised
up for all years. The revisions largely
result from the definitional change that
recognizes capital gains distributions
of regulated investment companies as
dividends.
Transfer payments to persons are
revised down for all years. These revi2. Personal interest income is derived as net interest

Government receipts and expenditures
Federal.—Revisions in Federal Government receipts are small for all years
except 1990 (table 16). For most years,
personal income tax receipts are revised down, reflecting the definitional
change that records nonresident taxes
as transfer payments and the statistical change related to taxes and interest
paid by persons because of late filings
of tax returns. (In the NIPA's, interest received by government is recorded
on the expenditures side of the government account as an offset to interest paid.) The downward revisions
in personal taxes tend to be offset by
upward revisions in indirect business
nontax accruals, reflecting the definitional changes related to the reclassification of nine Federal Government
agencies and a statistical change related to the valuation of purchases of
used assets. For 1989 and 1990, corporate profits tax accruals are revised
up, reflecting information from regular
annual sources on taxes paid by liability year. For 1990, information from
regular annual sources adds to the
downward revisions in personal income
tax receipts.
Federal Government expenditures is
revised down for all years except 1983.
For most years, the downward revisions reflect revisions in net interest
paid. Net interest paid is revised down
for all years, as interest received by
the Federal Government (recorded as
an offset to interest paid) is revised
up, reflecting the statistical change related to interest paid by persons and
business because of late filings of income tax returns. The reclassification
of CCC commodity loans results in
sizable revisions in nondefense purchases; these purchases are revised

December 1991

down considerably for 1982 and 1985
and up considerably for 1983 and 1988.
The Federal Government deficit on
a NIPA basis is reduced for all years.
Prior to 1984, the upward revisions
are traceable to definitional changes,
primarily the reclassification of CCC
commodity loans and the reclassification of nine Federal Government agencies. For 1984-90, the upward revisions reflect a number of statistical
changes, primarily the change related
to higher interest payments by business (the higher interest payments by
persons are offset by lower personal
taxes.) because of late filings of tax returns, the change in the revaluation
of used assets, and for 1989 and 1990,
the upward revisions in corporate profits tax accruals. For particular years,
the reclassification of CCC commodity
loans also resulted in sizable revisions
in the Federal deficit. (The effects
of the CCC loan reclassification are
largely those of timing; over long periods, revisions in the deficit due to this
change will net to zero.)
State and local.—State and local government receipts are revised down substantially for all years. The revisions
largely result from the redefinition of
government sales and personal nontaxes, which lowers personal nontax
receipts. Indirect business tax and
nontax accruals is also revised down
for all years, reflecting the transfer
of interest earned on industrial development bonds from nontaxes to interest received (revised estimates of
earnings results in adding more to interest received than is deducted from
nontaxes). For 1989 and 1990, these
revisions are partly offset by upward
revisions in personal tax receipts and
in indirect business tax and nontax liability; these upward revisions reflect
Census Bureau Government Finances
tabulations for fiscal year (FY) 1989
and preliminary tabulations for FY
1990 and Census Bureau quarterly tax
revenue data for 1990.
State and local government expenditures are revised down substantially
for all years. These revisions largely
result from the redefinition of government sales and personal nontaxes,
which raises government sales (a negative entry in government purchases).
Net interest paid is revised down for
all years, as interest received is revised
up, reflecting the inclusion of interest
paid by business for industrial development bonds. For 1983-89, these
revisions are partly offset by the carrying back of a statistical change, in-




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
troduced in the July 1988 annual NIPA
revision, that excludes capital gains
from interest received by State and
local government retirement systems.
The downward revisions are partly offset by upward revisions in purchases
of structures, reflecting the introduction of the new procedure for estimating construction, and in purchases of
employee compensation, reflecting the
inclusion of wages and salaries of students working for public educational
institutions and of other State and local government employees not covered
by unemployment insurance.
The State and local government surplus on a NIPA basis is reduced for
all years. The downward revisions are
largely traceable to the higher estimates of purchases of structures and
of employee compensation. (The reclassification of government sales and
personal nontaxes results in equal, and
offsetting, revisions in receipts and
expenditures; the transfer of interest earned on industrial development
bonds results in largely offsetting revisions.) For 1989 and 1990, the incorporation of the data from regular annual
sources holds down the reduction in the
surplus.

Rest-of-the-world transactions

Receipts from the rest of the world
is revised up for all years (table 17).
Both exports of goods and services
and receipts of factor income are revised up. The upward revisions in
exports largely reflect the recording of
exports of services on a gross basis; the
upward revisions in factor income receipts largely reflect the recording of
receipts of interest on a gross basis.
Payments to the rest of the world is
revised up for all years. Both imports
of goods and services and payments
of factor income are revised up. The
upward revisions in imports largely
reflect the recording of imports of services on a gross basis; the upward revisions in factor income payments reflect
the reclassification of interest paid by
the Federal Government to foreigners
and the recording of payments of interest on a gross basis. Net transfer payments is revised up; the revisions are
more than accounted for by the recording of nonresident taxes as business
transfer payments to the rest of the
world. The downward revisions in interest paid by the Federal Government
to foreigners result from the deletion of
this interest item as a separate entry.

1. In this comprehensive revision, the reclassification of interest paid
by government to foreigners as a payment of factor income results in
the deletion of this line.

Net foreign investment—the difference between receipts from the rest of
the world and payments to the rest of
the world—is revised down for 197786 and up for 1987-90. The revisions
are small for most years. For 1986-90,
the revisions are largely traceable to
statistical revisions from the balance of
payments accounts that were not previously incorporated into the NIPA's;
these revisions are primarily in net
receipts of factor income.
Gross saving and investment

Gross saving is revised up substantially for all years (table 18). The
upward revisions are largely traceable
to the previously described statistical revisions in personal saving and
in undistributed corporate profits with
IVA and CCAdj. (The upward revisions in consumption of fixed capital
are largely offset by the revisions in
the CCAdj for corporate profits and for
proprietors' income.) The government
surplus or deficit on a NIPA basis is
revised down for most years, as reductions in the State and local government surplus exceed reductions in the

sions, the downward revisions in the
growth rates of both real GDP and real
GNP are mainly accounted for by the
shift in the base period. (As discussed
in the section on the major statistical
changes, a shift to a more recent base
period tends to reduce the measured
change in real aggregates.) By major component, the downward revision
in the increase in real GDP is largely
accounted for by downward revisions
in fixed investment and in exports of
goods and services.
Revisions in components of real
GDP.—Largely as a result of the rebasing, the average annual growth rate of
real fixed investment during 1977-90
is revised down 0.6 percentage point
to 2.1 percent. The growth rate of
producers' durable equipment is revised down 1.3 percentage points to
3.5 percent; the downward revision
is more than accounted for by rebasing, mainly reflecting the importance
of computers in this component (the
volume of computer purchases jumped
from 1982 to 1987, while their price
fell sharply). The growth rate of
residential investment is also revised
down, 0.6 percentage point to -0.2
percent; the downward revision is attributable to current-dollar revisions
and to "other" revisions that largely
result from methodological changes in

terns, and (3) changes in the methodology used to prepare the quarterly
estimates. The following discussion of
quarterly revisions focuses on the estimates for 1988:1-1991:111, the period
that would normally have been covered
by an annual NIPA revision.
For this period, the quarter-toquarter percent change in real GDP
is revised down for nine quarters, is
revised up for five quarters, and is unrevised for one quarter (chart 2 and
table 20). The preponderance of downward revisions is largely attributable
to the just-described revisions in the
constant-dollar annual estimates. The
revisions for the 15 quarterly percent
changes (at annual rates) average 0.8
percentage point (without regard to
sign), somewhat larger than the average for the past five annual NIPA
revisions. Changes for three quartgp
are revised by 1.5 percentage points or
more. For the first quarter of 1988, the
increase in real GDP is revised down
2.0 percentage points to 2.6 percent.
The downward revision is accounted
for by nonresidential fixed investment,
change in business inventories, exports, and State and local government
purchases. (The quarterly estimates
of exports—and of imports as well—
are revised back to 1978, reflecting the
application of seasonal adjustment factors developed jointly by BEA and the
Census Bureau.) For the fourth quarter of 1988, the increase in real GDP
is revised up 1.5 percentage points to
3.9 percent. The upward revision is

largely accounted for by change in business inventories; PCE, nonresidential
and residential fixed investment, and
State and local government purchases
also contribute. For the fourth quarter of 1990, the decrease in real GDP
is revised down 1.8 percentage points
to 3.9 percent. The downward revision
is accounted for by nonresidential fixed
investment, change in business inventories, and State and local government
purchases.

Major Statistical Changes
This section of the article reviews
the major sources of the statistical revisions in the revised estimates for
1959-90. In this comprehensive revision, the following statistical changes
are incorporated:
• Shift of the base period by the
substitution of the prices of 1987
for those of 1982 in calculating
constant-dollar series and the substitution of the composition of output in 1987 for that in 1982
in calculating fixed-weighted price
indexes;
• New and revised data from sources
that are usually incorporated at
the time of the annual July revisions of the NIPA's, referred to as
"regular sources for 1988-90";
• New and revised data from sources
that are usually incorporated at
the time of comprehensive revisions because they become available less often than annually, referred to as "regular benchmark
sources"; and
• Changes in methodologies—that
is, new source data and/or new
estimating procedures—including
the use in earlier years of methodological changes introduced in
the annual NIPA revisions that
have taken place since the 1985
comprehensive revision.

A shift to a more recent base period is a standard procedure designed
to provide measures of real output and
prices that are more relevant for many
purposes. The NIPA's were last "rebased" in the 1985 comprehensive revision, when the base period was shifted
from 1972 to 1982. The year 1987
was selected as the new base period
because it is the latest year for which
the economic censuses were conducted

December 1991

and for which the NIPA estimates will
not be revised until the next comprehensive revision. The effects of the
shift on the revised constant-dollar estimates are described in a section of
this article beginning on page 32; a
hypothetical example that shows these
effects is described in a note on page
35.
Newly available regular source data
Regular data sources for 1988-90.—
Major regular data sources for 1988-90
are shown in table 21. These data
would normally have been used to prepare an annual revision in July 1991,
the annual revision was combined with
this comprehensive revision. The effect of incorporating these sources reflects the newly available or revised
data for 1988-90 as well as changes in
procedures related to them.
Regular benchmark source data.—
The single most important regular
benchmark source is BEA's 1982
benchmark 1-0 tables. 1-0 tables
provide the benchmarks for the estimates of the expenditure components
of GDP and for parts
of several income components.4 In turn, the 1-0
tables are based primarily on the detailed industry statistics collected by
the Census Bureau in the 1982 Economic Censuses and in the 1982 censuses of agriculture and governments.
The tables also are based on 1982 data
from the following regular sources:
BEA's balance of payments accounts
and perpetual-inventory-method estimates of private capital stock, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) farm
statistics reports, and Health Care
Financing Administration reports on
health insurance.
The detailed industry statistics from
the economic censuses provide additional data items and more detailed
information than the annual surveys
that cover the same industries, and
they also cover additional industries.
For example, sales and receipts of
retail and service establishments are
reported for the types of products
sold, and manufacturers' shipments
are reported by more detailed type of
4. The 1982 1-0 tables were presented in "Benchmark Input-Output Accounts for the U.S. Economy,
1982," SURVEY 71 (July 1991): 30-71. For several
GDP expenditure components, these estimates were
subsequently revised to reflect the definitional, classificational, and statistical changes incorporated into this
NIPA comprehensive revision. Revised 1982 1-0 tables reflecting these changes will be prepared and made
available later in 1992.

equipment and of related parts.
The censuses also provide additional
information, such as goods and services purchased by business, for both

the industries covered by annual surveys and for most of the industriesmining, construction, and nonmerchant wholesale trade—covered only
in the censuses. This information—

A Note on the Effect of Shifting the Base Period
Typically, the effect of shifting to a more recent base period is to reduce
the rate of growth in real GDP and the fixed-weighted price index for
GDP.
Real GDP.—To understand how shifting to a more recent base period affects measured growth in real GDP, a hypothetical example of a
two-commodity economy is helpful. The following table shows prices,
quantities, and the current-dollar value of output—that is, price times
quantity—for two commodities (A and B) in years 1 and 2. An important feature of the example is that the price of A grows more than the
price of By while the quantity of A grows less than the quantity of B.

Using the entries in the table, real GDP is obtained by multiplying
quantities in each year by prices in the base period. Thus, with year
1 as the base period, real GDP in year 1 is (5 x 10) + (6 x 10), or 110,
and in year 2, it is (5 x 11) + (6 x 16), or 151.-1
The ratio of real GDP in year 2 to real GDP in year 1, with year 1 as
the base period, is 151 — 110, or 1.373. Thus, the increase from year
1 to year 2 is 37.3 percent. The increase in real GDP is a weighted
average of the 10-percent increase for A (whose quantity increased
from 10 to 11) and the 60-percent increase for B (10 to 16), with the
weights based on year 1 prices.2
When the base period is shifted to year 2, the increase in real GDP
is calculated using year 2 prices. Real GDP is then (9 x 10) + (7 x 10),
or 160, in year 1 and (9 x 11) + (7 x 16), or 211, in year 2. The ratio
of real GDP in year 2 to real GDP in year 1 is 211 -j- 160, or 1.319.
Thus, the increase is 31.9 percent. This increase, too, is a weighted
average of the increases for A and B, but the weights are based on year
2 prices.3
In this example, selecting year 2 as the base period produces a
smaller increase—31.9 percent versus 37.3 percent. The reason is that
A, the commodity with less growth in quantity, is also the commodity with more growth in price. Commodity A therefore receives more
weight when year 2 is the base period than when year 1 is the base pe1. Because price and quantity data are not available for most components of
GDP, real GDP is obtained by deflating current-dollar values by price indexes
that express each period's price relative to a base-period price. This procedure
yields results identical to those obtained directly from prices and quantities.
For example, using prices and quantities directly with year 1 as the base year,
commodity A in real terms in year 2 is (11 x 5), or 55. The identical result is
obtained by deflating the current-dollar value of 99 for commodity A in year 2
by the price index with year 1 as the base year for commodity A in year 2. The
price index is (9 + 5), or 1.80. Thus, commodity A in real terms is (99 — 1.80),
or 55.
Algebraically, the two procedures may be shown to be identical as follows.
Using prices and quantities directly, real GDP is ] ^ qtpo, whereat is the quantity in year t and po is the price in the base period. Deflating current-dollar
values, real GDP is
QtPo

Real GDP may also be presented as afixed-weightedquantity index with a base
period equal to 100.0. Such an index is obtained by weighting quantity indexes
in each year by proportions of total output in the base period.
2. The weights are the proportions of total output in year 1.
3. The weights are the proportions of total output in year 1 valued in the prices
of year 2.




riod. It is true generally, as in this example, that a recent base period
produces lower growth in real GDP than an early base period if there is
a tendency for slow-growing quantities to be associated with relatively
fast-growing prices and for fast-growing quantities to be associated
with relatively slow-growing prices.
Over long timespans, such inverse relationships tend to be the rule.
As changes in technology or in market structure lower some relative prices and raise others, buyers respond by demanding relatively
moreof the low-priced goods and relatively less of the high-priced ones.
Computers provide a dramatic example of a technological change that
lowers a relative price and leads to rapid growth in demand. It is possible for shifts in demand due to changes in taste or in income levels to
have a contrary effect, driving both prices and quantities up for some
commodities more than for others. Over long timespans, such shifts
are apparently less important than the factors producing the inverse
relationships of price and quantity changes.
Fixed-weighted GDP price index.—Using the entries in the table, the
fixed-weighted price index for GDP is obtained by multiplying prices
each year by quantities in the base period, dividing the result for each
year by that for the base year, and multiplying each year by 100. Thus,
with year 1 as the base period, the fixed-weighted GDP price index in
year 1 is
(5 x 10) + (6 x 10)
(5 x 10) + ( 6 x 10)

X 100 = 100.0,

and in year 2, it is
(9 x 10) + (7 x 10)
,
-,
z—:
r x 100 - 145.01
( 5 x 10) + ( 6 x 10)
The ratio of the fixed-weighted GDP price index in year 2 to that
in year 1, with year 1 as the base period, is 145.0 -j- 100.0, or 1.45.
Thus, the increase from year 1 to year 2 is 45 percent. The increase
in the fixed-weighted GDP price index is a weighted average of the
80.0-percent increase for A and the 16.7-percent increase for B with
the weights based on year 1 quantities.2
When the base period is shifted to year 2, the increase in the fixedweighted GDP price index is calculated using year 2 quantities. The
fixed-weighted price index is then
(5 x l l ) + ( 6 x 16)
X 100 = 71.6
(9x
( 7 x 16)
in year 1 and
(9 x 11) + ( 7 X 16)
( 9 X l l ) + ( 7 x 16)

X 100 = 100.0

in year 2. The ratio of the fixed-weighted GDP price index in year 2
to that in year 1, with year 2 as the base period, is 100.0 -r 71.6, or
1.40. Thus, the increase is 40 percent. This increase, too, is a weighted
average of the increase for A and B, but the weights are based on year
2 quantities.3
With year 2 as the base period, the increase in the fixed-weighted
GDP price index is less than that with year 1 as the base period. The
direction of the difference is the same as that for the growth of real
GNP and for the same reason.
1. Because price and quantity data are not available for most components
of GDP, thefixed-weightedprice index for real GDP is obtained by weighting
price indexes in each year by proportions of total output in the base period.
This procedure yields results identical to those obtained directly from prices and
quantities.
2. The weights are the proportions of total output of year 1.
3. The weights are the proportions of total output in year 2 valued in the prices
of year 1.

additional industry coverage also provides more accurate estimates of in-

Nonresidential
structures.—Estimates of nonresidential structures,
both privately owned and owned by
State and local governments, are revised up substantially; the revisions
begin with 1970 for private structures and with 1975 for State and
local structures. For 1982, the revised estimate for private nonresidential structures is 24.8 percent, or $35.5
billion, higher than the previously
published estimate; the revised estimate for State and local structures is
12.1 percent, or $5.3 billion, higher.
These revisions reflect the introduction of a new procedure to benchmark the estimates from the Census
Bureau's monthly construction-put-inplace survey, the source of the previously published estimates of nonresidential structures. The new procedure was introduced in an effort to
resolve a longstanding problem with
the put-in-place survey—the need for
benchmark estimates for most types of
nonresidential construction.
The benchmark procedure, which
provided estimates for 1977 and 1982,
is based primarily on information from
the census of construction industries
on the value of contract construction
receipts for new construction, from the
census of service industries on architectural and engineering fees, and from
Federal regulatory agency reports on
the value of own-account new construction of utility companies. (Work is in
progress on the development of similar
benchmark estimates for 1987.) The
procedure provided estimates of total
new construction except for investment
in mining exploration, for which estimates for all periods were taken from
regular benchmark sources. The 1977
and 1982 estimates for the types of
construction covered by the new procedure were prepared as follows. (1) The
latest estimates from the put-in-place
survey, with minor adjustments for
definitional differences, were used for
all of new residential construction and
for new nonresidential construction by
the Federal Government, public utilities, and agriculture. (2) The benchmark procedure estimates were used
for State and local government new
construction. (3) For the remainder
of private new nonresidential construction, estimates by type of construe-

tion were judgmentally prepared using
both the corresponding benchmark and

For the years between 1977 and
1982, estimates of State and local government new construction were interpolated using estimates from annual
Census Bureau surveys of State and
local government expenditures. The

forwards from 1982. For each type

with 1987. 8 For 1982, the revised
misreporting adjustments added $23.3
billion to both national and personal
income: Proprietors' income is raised
by $17.0 billion; wages and salaries,
by $5.9 billion; and rental and interest
income combined, by $0.4 billion.
The special partnership audit, conducted as part of the TCMP effort, was
the first comprehensive audit of the detailed partnership return Form 1065.
Previously, misreporting by partnerships was assumed to be proportionately the same as that by sole proprietorships. The new study, whose results are incorporated beginning with
1977, generally showed more misreporting by partnerships. The 1984
employment tax study updates the previous adjustments, which were based
on information from the 1979 TCMP.
The new study provides more accurate
information because it is based on reporting of wages and salaries by all
employers covered by Federal Unemployment Insurance; the TCMP study
was based only on reporting of wages
paid by sole proprietorships and small
corporations.
In the revised wage
and salary estimates, the misreporting
adjustments are interpolated between
1978 and 1984; for 1984 forward, the
total 1984 adjustment is extrapolated
using total private wages and salaries.
The new IRS research incorporated
into the revised estimates relates to
that part of the adjustment that covers
incomes undetected by the auditors.9
Previously, IRS assumed that the auditors detected only $1 out of every $3^2
of unreported net income. The new
research shows that this adjustment
should be made only to underreported

gross income and not to that part of
underreported net income caused by
the overreporting of expenses. In the
revised BEA estimates, the auditor's
adjustment is reduced, beginning with
1977.
The other change in procedure is a
reduction, beginning with 1987, in the
estimates of the amount of misreporting undetected by the auditors. This
reduction is based on a BEA assumption that the compliance provisions and
provisions related to the use of passive
losses of the Tax Reform Act of 1986
will reduce misreporting.
Interest paid by real estate rental
partnerships.—Beginning with 1981,
the estimates of interest paid are revised to reflect the incorporation of
newly available tabulations of interest paid by partnerships primarily engaged in the rental of real estate. Prior
to 1981, interest paid by these businesses was included in the published
IRS tabulations of partnership tax returns. Beginning in 1981, the partnership tax return was redesigned with
regard to the reporting of rental income. As a result, the related interest
payments were not tabulated for 1981;
for 1982-86, they were not tabulated
when the partnership returns were
tabulated. Because these tabulations
were not available, BEA judgmentally
estimated the missing interest paid.
Their incorporation in the comprehensive revision has the largest effect for
1984, when it adds $10.4 billion to net
interest.
Computer prices.—Several improvements are incorporated in the price
indexes for computers (processors and
peripheral equipment). The most important of these improvements is the
preparation of a separate index for
imports, which is used in the deflation of imported computers in PDE
and in merchandise imports.
The
new index uses import weights to combine separate indexes for imported pro-

cessors, imported personal computers,
imported printers, and for domestic
and imported disk drives and displays. Previously, these series were
deflated using an aggregate deflator for
domestic and imported computers.10
Other improvements include the separate deflation of computers and peripheral equipment held in manufacturing and trade inventories and the
extension from 1969 back to 1958
of separate deflation of computers
based on indexes developed in several
independent studies. 11
Price index for multifamily houses.—
Beginning with 1977, a newly developed BEA price index for multifamily
houses is used for this component of
residential fixed investment. Previously, the Census Bureau's price index
for single-family houses was used. The
multifamily index is an hedonic index
derived from Census Bureau data on
the prices of multifamily construction
projects and on the following characteristics: Units per project, square feet
per unit, bathrooms per unit, bedrooms
per unit, percent of units with central air conditioning, percent of units
with parking in the structure, arid
percent of units having more than
three stories. In addition, two characteristics are included to account for
the effects of the geographic location—
construction wage rates and average
cooling-degree days for the State where
the structure is located. The index
is calculated only annually; for quarterly estimates, the Census Bureau
single-family index is used as both the
interpolator and the extrapolator.
10. For a description of the previously used prices
for computers, see "Improved Deflation of Purchases of
Computers," SURVEY 66 (March 1986): 7-9.
11. The indexes used to construct these deflators are
shown in Jack E. Triplett, "Price and Technological
Change in a Capital Good: A Survey of Research on
Computers" in Technology and Capital Formation, ed.

for individual enterprises. For all
years, the IBT estimates now are based
on data for nearly 50 types of taxes—
more than twice as many as for the
series published in 1988.
Other new elements are the preparation of annual estimates of the capital consumption allowance in proprietors' income and of improved estimates of the rental-income-of-persons
portion of capital charges for the real
estate industry.
The effect of the new elements is to
increase from 70 percent to 80 percent
the portion of total GSP for nonbenchmark years that is estimated directly,
that is, through the use of source data
for each year, rather than being interpolated or extrapolated. For benchmark years, the directly estimated
portion of GSP stays at 95 percent.

allowances to States.

Annual estimates by State and industry of two components of compensation—wages and salaries and other
labor income—as well as of proprietors' income with inventory valuation adjustment are from6 BEA's State
personal income series. Wages and
salaries, in turn, is part of the basis for
allocating to States the component of
compensation not measured in the personal income account—employer contributions for social insurance. For
proprietors' income, unpublished income estimates from the Internal Revenue Service are the basis for allocat6.

IBT
For all years, IBT estimates are
based on the following data on taxes
collected: (1) By State and type of
tax, from the census of governments
(for State and local IBT) and from the
Internal Revenue Service (for Federal
IBT) and (2) by industry and type of
tax, from BEA.
Capital charges

For government enterprises, the
sources and methods for estimating
capital charges, or subsidies less current surplus, are the same for all years.
For Federal Government enterprises,
BEA uses data for 20 enterprises to allocate subsidies less current surplus to
States. For State and local government

enterprises, BEA uses data on current
revenues and expenses for 15 types of
enterprises from the census of governments to allocate subsidies less current
surplus.
For private industries for benchmark
years, the sources and methods for
estimating capital charges differ by industry group. For 27 goods-producing
industries in agriculture, mining, construction, and manufacturing, BEA estimates capital charges by first estimating total GSP and then subtracting
compensation, proprietors' income, and
IBT. Economic census data on value
added in production, adjusted to conform to BEA's NIPA definitions, are the
basis for estimating total GSP.
For seven regulated distributive and
service industries in transportation,
communication, utilities, and finance,
data from financial reports filed by

firms with regulatory agencies are the
basis for estimating capital charges
by State. For multistate firms in
this group, BEA employs indicators of
capital stock or its use—for example,
airline boardings—to allocate capital
charges to States.
For real estate, BEA mainly uses
data from the population and housing
censuses and from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to allocate capital
charges to States in accordance with
the location of real property. BEA
estimates the rental-income-of-persons
portion of capital charges.
For 23 unregulated distributive and
service industries in transportation,
trade, finance, insurance, and services,
BEA uses economic census data on
business receipts or sales and data on
wages and salaries to allocate capital
charges to States.

For all private industries except
farming and real estate for nonbenchmark years, capital charges are interpolated or extrapolated on the basis
of movements in wages and salaries.
For farming, estimates for all years are
based on U.S. Department of Agriculture data. For real estate, estimates
for intercensal years are based on data
developed in the course of estimating
the rental income of persons in BEA's
State personal income series.
As resources permit, BEA plans
to incorporate data from the Census
Bureau's Annual Survey of Manufactures and other annual data, particularly those contained in regulatory
agency reports, in the estimates of capital charges for private industries for
nonbenchmark years.

Regional Growth Trends,
1977-89
The trends in regional growth in
1977-86 shown by the revised GSP
estimates are similar to, but more pronounced than, the trends shown by the
previously published estimates: From
1977 to 1986, the share of GSP generated in the Nation's interior regions
declined, and the share generated in
regions along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts increased. The revisions
now show that the share in the interior regions declined (and that the
share in the coastal regions increased)
3.8 percentage points during 1977-86,
compared with 3.2 percentage points
before the revision (table 3). The 197786 trends in regional growth in GSP
continued in 1986-89: The share of
GSP generated in the interior regions
declined by an additional 1.6 percentage points, and the share generated

46
in the coastal regions increased by an
offsetting amount.
The 0.6-percentage-point revision in
the change in share between coastal
and interior regions from 1977 to 1986
largely reflected GSP revisions in four
regions: In the Mideast, as a result
of upward revisions in the gain in
share in New Jersey and the District of
Columbia; in the coastal Southeast, an
upward revision in the gain in share
in North Carolina; in the Far West, an
upward revision in the gain in share in
California; and in the Southwest, upward revisions in the loss in share in
Texas and Oklahoma.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Changes in estimating methods contributed to the revisions in changes
in share in New Jersey, the District
of Columbia, and California. In New
Jersey, the upward revision partly reflected the effect on capital charges for
real estate of the improved annual estimates of rental income of persons.
In the District of Columbia, the upward revision partly reflected the effect
on Federal Government enterprises of
the improved estimates of subsidies
less current surplus. In California,
the upward revision partly reflected
the effects on GSP for real estate of
the new annual estimates of the capital consumption allowance in propri-

December 1991

etors' income and of the improved IBT
estimates.
The revised national estimates of
GDP by industry contributed to the revisions in North Carolina, Texas, and
Oklahoma. In North Carolina, the
upward revision partly reflected revisions in GDP for tobacco manufactures;
North Carolina is the Nation's leading tobacco-producing State. In the
oil-producing States of Texas and Oklahoma, revisions in GDP for oil and
gas extraction led to an upward revision in the loss in share of the Nation's
all-industry GSP attributable to these
States.

U.S, International Transactions, Third Quarter 1991

THE U.S. current-account balance deficit, as a result of a jump in imports, U.S. direct investment abroad and conshifted to a deficit of $10.5 billion in the
third quarter of 1991 from a surplus
of $3.0 billion (revised)
in the second
quarter (table A).1 The shift reflected
an increase in the merchandise trade
1. The analysis in this article is based on seasonally
adjusted estimates of the components of the current and
capital accounts. The accompanying tables present both
adjusted and unadjusted estimates.

and a shift in net unilateral transfers
to outflows from inflows.
In the capital account, net recorded
capital inflows were $10.8 billion in the
third quarter, in contrast to outflows
of $11.5 billion in the second quarter. Net outflows for U.S. assets abroad
decreased to $12.0 billion from $15.0
billion, despite a step-up in outflows for

tinued strength in net U.S. purchases
of foreign securities. Net inflows for
foreign assets in the United States increased significantly to $22.8 billion
from $3.5 billion, reflecting a large
shift, from a decrease to an increase,
in U.S. bank-reported liabilities. Foreign purchases of U.S. securities and
inflows for foreign direct investment

The volume of exports, measured in
constant (1987) dollars, increased 1
percent.
Nonagricultural exports decreased
$0.3 billion, or less than 1 percent, to
$94.4 billion in the third quarter. Decreases in nonagricultural industrial
supplies and materials and in capital
goods were partly offset by an increase
in automotive products. The decreases
reflected a slackening in foreign demand resulting from a continued slowdown in economic activity in a number
of industrial countries. Capital goods
decreased also because of a drop in deliveries of civilian aircraft following an
unusually high level of deliveries in
the second quarter. Most of the increase in automotive products was in
exports of passenger cars and trucks to
Canada. Exports of engines and parts
for assembly to Canada and Mexico
also increased.
Agricultural exports increased $0.6
billion, or 6 percent, to $10.2 billion in
the third quarter. Exports of corn and
wheat more than accounted for the increase, as exports to Eastern Europe,
Latin America, and developing countries in Asia and Africa picked up. Exports of soybeans and cotton decreased,
reflecting ample supplies abroad. After a sharp drop in the second quarter,
agricultural exports to Eastern Europe
recovered, spurred in part by the issuance of new U.S. Government export
credit guarantees at the end of June.
(Guarantees extended at the beginning
of the year boosted exports mostly in
the first quarter.)
Imports.—Imports increased $5.4
billion, or 4 percent, to $125.0 billion
in the third quarter. The volume of
imports, measured in constant (1987)
dollars, increased 6 percent. Nonpetroleum imports accounted for the
increase; petroleum imports were virtually unchanged. In the first three
quarters of 1991, imports in current
dollars were 2 percent lower than in
the same period of 1990, largely reflecting weakness in U.S. economic
activity.
Nonpetroleum imports increased $5.3
billion, or 5 percent, to $112.0 billion in
the third quarter. Imports of automotive products and consumer goods more
than accounted for the increase. Automotive products, which increased $3.4
billion, or 17 percent, were boosted
mainly by a step-up in imports of passenger cars from Japan, Canada, and
Mexico; imports of engines and parts
for assembly also increased. In the
first three quarters of 1991, imports




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

of passenger cars were only 2 percent higher than in the same period of
1990, reflecting continued weakness in
U.S. sales of new passenger cars. Imports of consumer goods increased $2.6
billion. The largest increase was in
textiles; there were smaller increases
in toys, radios, televisions, and household appliances. Most of the increase
in consumer goods was in imports from
China and countries in the Far East,
where production of inexpensive consumer goods has accelerated rapidly in
recent years.
Petroleum imports increased $0.1
billion, or 1 percent, to $13.0 billion
in the third quarter. The average
number of barrels imported daily increased to 8.2 million from 8.1 million.
The average price per barrel decreased
to $17.24 from $17.31; an increase in
crude petroleum prices was more than
offset by a decrease in average prices
of other petroleum products.
Balances by area.—The merchandise
trade deficit with industrial countries
increased $2.9 billion, to $9.4 billion,
in the third quarter. The deficit with
Japan increased $2.2 billion because of
a step-up in imports. A drop in exports to Western Europe reduced the
surplus with that area by $2.0 billion.
The deficit with Canada decreased $0.7
billion, and the surplus with Australia
increased $0.5 billion.
The deficit with members of OPEC
decreased $0.3 billion; U.S. exports to
OPEC countries increased more than
imports.
The deficit with all other countries
increased $2.6 billion; the increase was
more than accounted for by a $3.4 billion increase in the combined deficit
with China and with the newly industrialized countries in Asia. Partly
offsetting was a $1.6 billion shift to
a surplus with Latin America that
mainly resulted from a jump in exports
to Brazil and Mexico.
Service transactions

The surplus in service transactions
increased $0.5 billion, to $9.5 billion,
in the third quarter. Service receipts
increased $1.0 billion, to $36.7 billion; payments increased $0.4 billion,
to $27.3 billion.
Travel receipts increased $0.3 billion, to $11.6 billion, in the third quarter. Receipts from overseas visitors
increased, but the increase was smaller
than in the previous quarter, when
travel receipts rebounded sharply after
the end of the Persian Gulf hostilities.

December 1991

Receipts from Canada and Mexico also
increased, especially in the U.S. border areas. Travel payments, at $9.9
billion, were virtually unchanged from
the second quarter. After partially recovering in the second quarter from the
effects of the Persian Gulf hostilities,
overseas travel was unchanged in the
third. Payments to Mexico and Canada
were unchanged.
Passenger fare receipts were unchanged at $3.5 billion. Passenger
fare payments increased $0.1 billion, to
$2.4 billion.
Transportation receipts increased
$0.3 billion, to $6.0 billion, in the third
quarter. Transportation payments increased $0.4 billion, to $6.1 billion.
Receipts and payments were boosted
by expenditures for port services by
air carriers, reflecting recent efforts
by U.S. and foreign carriers to expand
routes and freight services.
Receipts from other private services
were unchanged at $8.7 billion in the
third quarter, and payments increased
$0.1 billion, to $3.7 billion.
Transfers under U.S. military sales
contracts increased $0.2 billion, to $2.6
billion, in the third quarter. The increase was in deliveries to Western
Europe and the Middle East. Direct
defense expenditures abroad decreased
$0.1 billion, to $3.8 billion.
Investment income

The surplus in net investment income increased $0.2 billion, to $2.5
billion, in the third quarter. Investment income receipts increased $0.5
billion, to $28.8 billion, and payments
increased $0.4 billion, to $26.3 billion.
For both receipts and payments, increases in direct investment income
were largely offset by decreases in
other private investment income. U.S.
Government income receipts increased;
payments were unchanged.
Direct investment income.—Receipts
of income on U.S. direct investment
abroad increased $1.2 billion, to $13.4
billion, in the third quarter.
Income before capital gains and losses
increased $0.6 billion. Almost all of
the increase was in operating income of
petroleum affiliates. Operating income
of nonpetroleum affiliates was virtually unchanged; income of automotive
affiliates in Western Europe was hurt
by the slump in passenger car sales
there. Capital gains increased $0.6 billion as a result of the sale of a British
petroleum affiliate.

December! 991

Payments of income on foreign direct investment in the United States
shifted $1.5 billion from a net loss of
$0.8 billion in the second quarter to
net earnings of $0.7 billion in the third.
A shift to capital gains accounted for
most of the shift in income. Operating
losses decreased $0.4 billion.
Portfolio investment income.—Receipts of income on other private investment abroad decreased $1.0 billion, to $13.3 billion, in the third quarter. Payments of income on other private investment in the United States
decreased $1.1 billion, to $15.9 billion.
The decreases in both receipts and
payments were mainly due to sharply
lower short-term interest rates in the
United States and abroad.
U.S. Government income receipts increased $0.3 billion, to $2.1 billion,
in the third quarter. The increase
was partly due to the forgiveness and
rescheduling of interest owed to the
U.S. Government by the governments
of Poland, Egypt, and several developing countries. (Related entries appear
in the unilateral transfers and U.S.
Government capital accounts.) U.S.
Government income payments were
unchanged at $9.7 billion.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
U.S. Government assets other than
official reserve assets.—U.S. Government credits and other long-term assets increased $8.2 billion in the third
quarter, compared with an increase of
$1.1 billion in the second. The higher
disbursements of credits were associated with the rescheduling of $2.1
billion of Polish debt and $5.1 billion
of Egyptian debt. Repayments on credits were $11.0 billion, compared with
$0.8 billion. The higher repayments included $1.3 billion in debt forgiveness
to developing countries, $1.6 billion in
debt forgiveness to Poland, and the
rescheduling of Polish and Egyptian
debt.

Claims reported by banks.—U.S.
claims on foreigners reported by U.S.
banks increased $0.2 billion in the
third quarter, in contrast to a decrease
of $1.2 billion in the second. An increase in claims payable in foreign currencies was nearly offset by a decrease
in claims payable in dollars.
Banks' own claims payable in dollars decreased $4.2 billion. The decrease reflected weak interbank demand for dollars stemming partly from
the slackening in economic activity
abroad. Interbank claims of foreignowned banks decreased $7.7 billion;

three quarters of 1991, net purchases
of foreign securities totaled a record
$34.8 billion.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign stocks
decreased $0.6 billion, to $8.5 billion.
Despite the decrease, the high level
of net purchases reflected continued
strong demand for foreign stocks. Net
purchases of both British and Japanese
stocks picked up sharply. Transactions in Canadian stocks shifted to net
purchases following several consecutive quarters of net sales. Although
net purchases of Latin American stocks
decreased, they remained substantial,
reflecting U.S. interest in offerings
resulting from the continued privatization of Latin American companies,
especially in Mexico
Net purchases of foreign bonds increased $0.3 billion, to $4.0 billion.
Transactions in outstanding bonds
shifted to net purchases of $2.7 billion
from net sales of $1.5 billion. Net purchases of British gilt-edged securities
more than accounted for the shift; declining interest rates encouraged some
investors to lock in current yields, and
others were spurred by prospects of
capital gains from rising bond prices
and the appreciation of the British
pound against the dollar. Foreign new
issues in the United States decreased
to $2.5 billion from $6.4 billion.
Direct investment.—Net outflows for
U.S. direct investment abroad were
$5.9 billion in the third quarter, compared with $1.8 billion in the second.
The increase was largely accounted for
by a shift of $2.6 billion in equity to
net outflows of $2.2 billion, mainly for
acquisitions in Western Europe and
Mexico.
Intercompany debt inflows were
nearly unchanged at $3.4 billion.
However, there were large offsetting
changes in receivables and payables
between parents and affiliates. Some
parent companies received large loan
repayments from their foreign affiliates, and others repaid loans to their
affiliates.
Reinvested earnings increased to
$7.0 billion from $5.6 billion.

Foreign assets in the United States
Foreign assets in the United States
increased $22.8 billion in the third

Reconciliation of the
U.S.-Canadian
Current-Account Statistics
A reconciliation of the 1990 bilateral
current-account statistics of the United
States and Canada and a revision of
the 1989 current-account reconciliation
were completed by BEA and Statistics Canada in November 1991. The
results are shown in table E.
The completion of the reconciliations continues the long history of
cooperation between U.S. and Canadian statistical agencies. In 1990,
over three-fourths of the data used
by the United States and Canada
to compile U.S.-Canadian bilateral
current-account statistics was provided
through the exchange of data, including U.S. and Canadian merchandise imports (beginning January 1990);
services such as travel, passenger
fares, inland freight, and government
nonmilitary expenditures; and certain
U.S. banking data used to estimate
Canadian interest receipts.
For 1989, the difference between
the latest U.S. and Canadian published estimates of the U.S.-Canadian
current-account balance was $2.9 billion; after reconciliation, the difference

t Cyclical indicator series denoted by f are smoothed by an autoregressive-moving-average filter developed by Statistics Canada.
For information on composite indexes and other concepts used in this section, see "Composite Indexes of Leading, Coincident, and Lagging Indicators" in the November 1987
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS and "Business Cycle Indicators: Revised Composite Indexes" in the January 1989 SURVEY.
References to series in this section use the prefix "BCI-" followed by the series number. Unless otherwise noted, series are seasonally adjusted.
Percent change data are centered within the spans: 1-month changes are placed in the ending month, 3-month changes are placed in the 3d month, 6-month changes are
placed in the 4th month, 1-quarter changes are placed in the ending quarter, and 4-quarter changes are placed in the 3d quarter.
Diffusion indexes are defined as the percent of components rising plus one-half of the percent of components unchanged. Diffusion index data are centered within the spans:
1-month indexes are placed in the ending month and 6-month indexes are placed in the 4th month.
High values reached by cyclical indicators since the last reference cycle trough (November 1982) are shown in boldface type; high values reached prior to the period shown in
the table are listed at the bottom of each page. For inverted series, low values are indicated as highs.
Sources for series in this section are shown on pages C-47 and C-48 in the October 1991 SURVEY.

1. A component's contribution measures its impact, in percentage points, on the percent change in the
index. Each month, the sum of the contributions plus the trend adjustment factor equals (except for rounding
differences) the index's percent change from the previous month. The trend adjustment factors are 0.142
for the leading index, - 0 . 1 8 6 for the coincident index, and 0.030 for the lagging index.
2. Excludes BCI-57, for which data are not available.
3. Excludes BCI-77 and BCI-95, for which data are not available.

NOTE.—Major data revisions:
New plant and equipment expenditures by business in constant dollars (BCI-100) has been revised by
the source agency from 1958 forward to reflect a shift in the base period from 1982 to 1987. For further
information, contact the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, Industry Division, Washington,
DC 20233.
Series based on the national income and product accounts (BCI-16, -18, -22, -30, -35, -62, -81, -86, -87,
-88, and -89)—see note for page C-2.
* Preliminary December values: BCI-23 = 269.3, BCI-19 = 385.72; anticipated 4th quarter values: BCI61 = 531.96 and BCI-100 = 495.88; anticipated 1st quarter 1992 values: BCI-61 = 563.31 and BCI-100 =

NOTE.—Major data revisions:
Employee hours in nonagricultural establishments (BCI-48) has been revised by the source agency from
1987 forward to incorporate new seasonal adjustment factors. For further information, contact the U.S.
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Office of Employment Structure and Trends, Division of
Monthly industry Employment Statistics, Washington, DC 20210.
Series based on the national income and product accounts have been revised to reflect a shift in emphasis
to gross domestic product rather than gross national product, a new reference base period (1987 rather than
1982), new seasonal adjustment factors, new and revised source data, and definitional and classification^
changes. Revised data are incorporated in this issue as follows: BCI-16, -18, -22, -30, -35,-49, -50, -55,
-81, -86, -87, -88, -89, -107, -290, -292, -293, -295, -298, and -564 from 1959 forward and BCI-51, -52,
-53, -62, -95, and -108 from 1987 forward. Revised data for earlier periods will be available in a later issue.
Revised data for the fixed-weighted price index, gross domestic business (BCI-311) will be shown at a later
date. For constant-dollar series, data prior to 1959 and 1987, respectively, are still shown on a 1982 base.
Gross domestic product in 1987 dollars (BCI-55) has been added and the implicit price deflator for gross
national product (BCI-310) has been discontinued in the C-pages. For further information, contact the U.S.
Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, National Income and Wealth Division, Washington,

t Effective May 1990 SURVEY, data for seasonally adjusted building permits have been revised back to
1988 and are available upon request.
# Series first shown in the July 1990 SURVEY. The fixed-weighted price index is a weighted average of
the individual price index series used to deflate the Value of New Construction Put in Place (VIP) series. In
calculating the index, the weights (the composition of current dollar VIP in 1987 by category of construction)
are held constant. Consequently, the index reflects only changes in prices. The implicit price deflator is a
derived ratio of total current to constant dollar VIP (multiplied by 100). It is the average of the individual price
indexes used in the deflation of VIP, but the prices are weighted by the composition of VIP each period. As
a result, the implicit price deflator reflects not only changes in prices, but also changes in the composition of
VIP, and its use as a measure of price change is discouraged. Effective July 1991 SURVEY, data have been
revised back to 1986.
t t Effective May 1991 SURVEY, the Boeckh indexes have a new base year of 1987.
XX Effective Sept. 1990 SURVEY, the construction cost index for the Federal Highway Administration has
been revised back to 1986 and has a new base year of 1987=100.

@ Data are for closed mortgage loans of thrift institutions insured by the Savings Association Insurance
Fund (SAIF)—FSLIC-insured institutions prior to Sept. 1989.
t Effective April 1991 SURVEY, estimates of wholesale sales have been revised back to January 1988 and
wholesale inventories have been revised back to January 1989. Revised data and a summary of changes
appear in the report Revised Monthly Wholesale Trade, Sales and Inventories January 1984-December
1990, BW90-R, available from the Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC 20233.
X Effective March 1991 SURVEY, retail trade data have been revised. Estimates of retail sales have been
revised back to January 1988 and inventories have been revised back to January 1989. (In 1990 data were
revised back to 1982.) Revised data and a summary of changes will appear in the report Revised Monthly
Retail Sales and Inventories, January 1981-December 1990, BR90-R, available from the Bureau of the

# Includes data for items not shown separately.
0 Effective with the January 1991 SURVEY, the seasonally adjusted labor force series have been revised
back to January 1986. The January 1991 issue of Employment and Earnings contains the new seasonal
adjustment factors, a description of the current methodology, and revised data for the most recent 13 mdnths
or calendar quarters. Revised monthly data for the entire 1986-90 revision period appear in the February
1991 issue of Employment and Earnings.
f The participation rate is the percent of the civilian noninstitutional population in the civilian labor force.
The employment-population ratio is civilian employment as a percent of the civilian noninstitutional population,
16 years and over.
@ Data include resident armed forces.

§ Effective with the Sept. 1990 and June 1991 issues of the SURVEY, data have been revised, respectively
back to April 1988 and April 1989, unadjusted, and back to Jan. 1985 and Jan. 1986, seasonally adjusted,
to reflect new benchmarks and seasonal adjustment factors. In addition the Sept. 1990 revision included the
conversion of the industry series to 1987 SIC codes. Industry series affected by revisions in the SIC have
been revised back to the inception of the series, to the extent possible. In addition, all constant-dollar and
indexed series were recomputed on a 1982 base. The Sept. 1990 and June 1991 issues of Employment and
Earnings contain detailed descriptions of the effects of these revisions. All of the revised historical series
will be published in a special supplement to Employment and Earnings. This supplement, when combined
with the historical bulletin, Employment, Hours, and Earnings, United States, 1909-90 will comprise the full
historical series on national data obtained from the establishment survey.

§ See note y for p. S-10.
0 Production and nonsupervisory workers.
\ Earnings in 1982 dollars reflect changes in purchasing power since 1982 by dividing by Consumer
Price Index. Effective Feb. 1990 and 1991 issues of the SURVEY, this series has been revised, respectively,
back to 1985 and 1986 to reflect new seasonal factors for the CPI-W. Revised data are available upon
request.
oS Effective with the June 1991 SURVEY, data have been revised back to 1989 and are available upon
request. Wages as of Dec. 1,1991: Common, $19.14; Skilled, $25.19.
f Excludes farm, household, and Federal workers.
@ Effective with the April 1990 SURVEY, the employment cost index is based on June 1989=100, rather
than June 1981=100. Historical data for both June 1989 and June 1981 bases are available from the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, Division of Employment Cost Trends, 441 G Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20212.
XX These series were affected by an error in the Sept. 1990 SURVEY. The stub for "Transportation
equipment" was omitted. Hourly earnings for "Transportation equipment" were shown following the stub for
"Electronic and other electrical equipment". Hourly earnings for "Electronic and other electrical equipment"
were shown following the stub for "Industrial machinery and equipment". Hourly earnings for "Industrial
machinery and equipment" were shown following the stub for "Machinery, except electrical", which was the
former name for that industry (SIC 35).
# Series first shown in the July 1991 SURVEY. Wages and salaries are defined as the hourly straight-time
wage rate or, for workers not paid on an hourly basis, straight-time earnings divided by the corresponding
hours. Straight-time wage and salary rates are total earnings before payroll deductions, excluding premium or
supplemental pay for overtime and for work on weekends and holidays, shift differentials, and nonproduction
bonuses such as lump-sum payments provided in lieu of wage increases. Production bonuses, incentive
earnings, commission payments, and cost-of-living adjustments are included in straight-time wage and salary
rates.

1. The railroad average was discontinued by Moody's on July 13, 1989. Therefore, the July average
reflects only eight working days.
2. Effective Oct. 3, 1990, the German Democratic Republic (GDR; East Germany) ceased to exist as
a sovereign state and became a part of the Federal Republic of Germany. Accordingly, effective with the
statistics for Oct. 1990, all merchandise imported from or exported to the former GDR will be included as
trade with the Federal Republic of Germany.
3. Beginning Jan. 1991 data, Roadway Services, Inc. will be included in the Dow Jones Transportation
