THE BUSINESS SITUATION
This article was
prepared by Daniel

Larkins, Larry R.
Moran, and Ralph
W. Morris.

N THE fourth quarter of 1991, U.S. production registered a small increase, and U.S.
demand decreased slightly. Real gross domestic
product (GDP), a measure of goods and services produced in the United States, increased
0.8 percent in the fourth quarter after increasing
1.8 percent in the third (chart i).1 This "preliminary" estimate for the fourth quarter is 0.5
percentage point higher than the "advance" estimate issued a month ago; reasons for the upward
revision are discussed in the last section of this
article. Real gross domestic purchases, a measure
of goods and services purchased by U.S. residents,
decreased 0.3 percent in the fourth quarter after
increasing 3.4 percent in the third. That gross domestic purchases decreased in the fourth quarter
while GDP increased is accounted for by a stronger
increase in exports than in imports.2
The fixed-weighted price index for gross domestic purchases increased 2.3 percent in the
fourth quarter after increasing 2.5 percent in the
third.3 The comparable price index for GDP in-

creased 2.2 percent after increasing 2.6 percent.
These price indexes, which are now calculated
with 1987 weights, reflect the recent comprehensive revision to the national income and product
accounts (NIPA'S).

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.
Real, or constant-dollar, estimates are expressed in 1987 dollars and are based
on 1987 weights.
2. Gross domestic purchases is calculated as the sum of personal consumption expenditures (PCE), gross private domestic investment (GPDI), and
government purchases. GDP is calculated as the sum of these three components plus exports minus imports (thereby including U.S. production of
goods and services sold outside the United States and excluding those goods
and services in PCE, GPDI, and government purchases that are not produced
in the United States).
3. As part of the comprehensive NIPA revision, the price index for gross
domestic purchases replaced the price index for GNP as the featured measure
of price change. For most purposes, it is more useful to track changes in the
prices paid by U.S. purchasers than changes in the prices received by U.S.
producers. For example, a sharp rise in the price of imported petroleum
usually affects prices of gross domestic purchases but not GNP (and GDP)
prices.

2 • February 1992




Cyclical perspective.—Following the business cycle peak in the third quarter of 1990, real GDP
decreased for two quarters and then increased for
three. The two decreases took GDP 1.6 percent
below its level at the cycle peak, and the three
subsequent increases brought it back to within
0.6 percent of that level (table i). Exports increased in four of the last five quarters; these
increases thereby moderated the drop in GDP and
contributed to its rebound. In the fourth quarter
of 1991, the level of exports was 12.1 percent above
its level at the peak of the cycle.
Real gross domestic purchases decreased more
sharply than real GDP after the peak in the cycle, and it subsequently recouped less of its loss.
Decreases in the fourth quarter of 1990 and in
the first quarter of 1991 took purchases down 2.5
percent. Increases in the second and third quarters of 1991 and the decrease in the fourth quarter
left gross domestic purchases 1.6 percent below
its level at the peak of the cycle.
Among the major components of both GDP
and gross domestic purchases, only residential
investment and inventory investment (that is,
the change in business inventories) increased in
the last three quarters of 1991. The increases
in residential investment were concentrated in
single-family construction and followed many
quarters of decrease. The increases in inventory investment reflected a swing from substantial
inventory liquidation to moderate accumulation.

Tables." Dollar levels are found in table 1.2 and table 5.13.

Nonresidential fixed investment and government purchases decreased in the last three
quarters of 1991. In nonresidential investment,
decreases in structures accounted for the decreases in the second and third quarters; in the
fourth quarter, both structures and equipment
decreased. In government purchases, the decreases partly reflected falling expenditures for
national defense after the buildup that accompanied Operation Desert Shield and Operation
Desert Storm.
Personal consumption expenditures decreased
in the fourth quarter after increasing in the second and third quarters. Expenditures for services
tend to be less sensitive to cyclical factors than
expenditures for goods; in the fourth quarter, the
level of expenditures for services was above its
level at the cycle peak, while the level of expenditures was below its level at the cycle peak for
both durable and nondurable goods.
Personal consumption expenditures
Real personal consumption expenditures (PCE)
decreased 0.2 percent in the fourth quarter after
increasing 2.3 percent in the third quarter and 1.4
percent in the second (table 2).
The fourth-quarter decrease may have reflected
concerns about job security and income. The
unemployment rate increased again in the fourth
quarter, to 6.9 percent (the highest rate since
1986). Real disposable personal income increased
in the third and fourth quarters, but only by 0.3
percent and 1.1 percent, respectively. Reflecting
consumer uncertainty, the Index of Consumer
Sentiment (prepared by the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center) plunged in the
fourth quarter, to its lowest level in a year.
Expenditures for durable goods fell 6.0 percent
in the fourth quarter after jumping 9.5 percent
in the third quarter and decreasing 1.8 percent
in the second. All major components of durable
goods decreased in the fourth quarter.
Expenditures for nondurable goods decreased
3.2 percent in the fourth quarter after not changing in the third quarter and increasing 0.9
percent in the second. All major components of
nondurable goods decreased in the fourth quarter, but about two-thirds of the decrease was
accounted for by clothing and shoes.
Expenditures for services increased 2.9 percent
in the fourth quarter after increasing 2.2 percent
in the third quarter and 2.5 percent in the second.
All major components increased in the fourth
quarter, but most of the increase was accounted
for by medical care and "other" services.

In contrast, corporate cash flow posted more
substantial increases, and the yield on new highgrade corporate bonds decreased in each quarter
of the year. (The latest Census Bureau survey
of plans for plant and equipment expenditures,
which was released in mid-December 1991, reported that real spending in 1992 is expected to
be 5.7 percent higher than in 1991.)
Structures decreased 6.3 percent in the fourth
quarter after decreasing 23.9 percent in the third
quarter and 10.3 percent in the second. The
decrease in the fourth quarter was the fifth consecutive decrease, but it was considerably smaller
than the preceding four decreases. A decrease

Real nonresidential fixed investment decreased
4.5 percent in the fourth quarter, a little more
than in the two preceding quarters (table 3).
The fourth-quarter decrease was accounted for
by both structures and producers' durable equipment (PDE). In the second and third quarters,
only structures decreased.
The factors that are associated with investment spending were mixed in recent quarters.
Real final sales of domestic product was relatively flat, capacity utilization rates were low,
and corporate profits increased only modestly.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

in nonresidential buildings was more than accounted for by commercial buildings; industrial
buildings and most other types of buildings increased. The decrease in commercial buildings
was another in a long series of decreases that left
commercial building at its lowest level in 12 years.
Mining exploration, shafts, and wells—mostly oil
wells—posted another decrease that was rather
small in terms of dollars but that was sizable in
terms of percentages.
PDE decreased 3.7 percent in the fourth quarter
after increasing 6.7 percent in the third quarter and registering no change in the second.
Information processing and related equipment
increased for the third consecutive quarter, but
this increase was more than offset by decreases in
the other PDE components. A decrease in transportation equipment was especially large; auto
PDE slipped slightly and truck PDE increased,
but civilian aircraft, a volatile component, fell
sharply.

The increase in single-family construction reflected increases in single-family housing starts—
up 187,000, to 920,000 (seasonally adjusted annual rates)—during the last three quarters of
1991 after decreasing 350,000 during the preceding
four quarters (chart 2).
The fourth-quarter upswing in the "other"
component was largely attributable to an upswing
in brokers' commissions on house sales. Sales of
new houses increased 4.7 percent in the fourth
quarter after decreasing slightly in the third, and
sales of existing homes increased 1.2 percent after
a sharp decrease. The fourth-quarter increases in
sales were partly the result of dropping mortgage
rates; by the end of the fourth quarter, commitment rates were at their lowest levels in more
than 15 years (chart 3).
Multifamily construction decreased much less
in the fourth quarter than in the third.
With the fourth-quarter decrease, multifamily
construction was at its lowest level in 30 years.

Residential investment

Inventory investment

Real residential investment increased 13.1 percent
in the fourth quarter after increasing 10.9 percent
in the third quarter and 3.1 percent in the second.
Single-family construction and the "other" component of residential investment increased in the
fourth quarter, while multifamily construction
decreased for the loth consecutive quarter. (The
"other" component includes additions and alterations, major replacements, mobile home sales,
and brokers' commissions on house sales.)

Real inventory investment—that is, the change
in business inventories—increased $10.8 billion
in the fourth quarter after increasing $30.5 billion in the third quarter and $2.4 billion in the
second (table 4). The fourth-quarter increase
reflected a step-up in inventory accumulation;
the third-quarter increase reflected a swing from
substantial liquidation to slight accumulation.
Nonfarm inventories increased $12.5 billion
in the fourth quarter after decreasing in the

four preceding quarters. The fourth-quarter
turnaround was accounted for by a sharp upswing in wholesale trade inventories and a stepup in accumulation of inventories in retail trade
excluding auto dealers.
Manufacturing inventories decreased $9.9 billion in the fourth quarter, the third consecutive
quarter of liquidation. Inventories of durables
decreased, continuing a long and sometimes
sharp series of decreases; the fourth-quarter decrease was primarily accounted for by electrical
machinery, nonelectrical machinery, and transportation equipment other than motor vehicles.
Inventories of nondurables increased after modest decreases in the preceding two quarters; the
turnaround was accounted for by paper products,
diemicals, and apparel.
Wholesale trade inventories increased $15.3 billion in the fourth quarter after decreases in the
two preceding quarters. The increase was accounted for by an upswing in the inventories
of merchant wholesalers—mainly in electrical
goods, in machinery, equipment, and supplies,
and in motor vehicles and parts. Inventories of
nonmerchant wholesalers decreased slightly after
increasing.
Retail trade inventories increased $8.4 billion
in the fourth quarter after increasing $6.2 billion
in the third quarter and decreasing $3.0 billion
in the second. Retail trade inventories other than
those held by auto dealers increased considerably
more in the fourth quarter than in the third. The
fourth-quarter increase was partly accounted for
by a substantial accumulation in nondurables; the
accumulations were in all types of goods. Retail
auto dealers' inventories decreased substantially
after no change.
Farm inventories decreased $1.6 billion in the
fourth quarter after increasing $2.9 billion in the

February 1992 • 5

third quarter and $0.4 billion in the second. The
decrease largely reflected stronger market sales.
Inventories of crops decreased in both quarters;
inventories of livestock decreased slightly after an
increase.
Reflecting the fourth-quarter changes in inventories and final sales of domestic businesses, the
constant-dollar ratio of nonfarm inventories to
final sales edged up slightly for the third consecutive quarter, to 2.58, but it remained in the
narrow range within which it has fluctuated for
the past 2 years.
Net exports
Real net exports increased in the fourth quarter after decreasing in the third quarter and
increasing in the second (table 5). The fourthquarter increase reflected a y.i-percent increase
in exports that was partly offset by a 2.5-percent
increase in imports.
Merchandise exports increased 15.0 percent after increasing 4.6 percent in the third quarter and
17.8 percent in the second. Nonagricultural exports increased 13.6 percent after increasing 2.1
percent; the step-up was largely due to exports of
civilian aircraft, which rebounded in the fourth
quarter after dropping sharply in the third. Agricultural exports increased sharply for the second
consecutive quarter. Exports of services increased
8.3 percent, much less than in the two preceding
quarters.
Merchandise imports increased 1.9 percent in
the fourth quarter after increasing 23.6 percent
in the third quarter and 14.8 percent in the second. The fourth-quarter increase was more than
accounted for by nonpetroleum products. Nonpetroleum products increased about one-third as
much as they had in the third quarter; most of
the slowdown was accounted for by automobile

a sharp decrease. Imports of services increased
5.3 percent after increasing much less in the third
quarter and a little less in the second.

ees, installation support, personnel support, and
contractual research and development.
Federal nondefense purchases decreased 12.1
percent in the fourth quarter after decreasing 5.9
percent in the third. Both decreases were largely
traceable to changes in inventories of farm products held by the Commodity Credit Corporation
(ccc). The level of ccc inventories decreased $3.3
billion in the fourth quarter after decreasing $0.1
billion in the third and increasing $2.1 billion in
the second. Federal nondefense purchases excluding ccc inventory transactions changed little
in the fourth quarter after increasing in the two
preceding quarters.
State and local government purchases increased
1.4 percent in the fourth quarter after modest decreases in the three preceding quarters.
The turnaround was attributable to employee
compensation and to structures.

Government purchases
Real government purchases decreased 5.4 percent
in the fourth quarter after decreasing 3.4 percent
in the third quarter and o.i percent in the second
(table 6). The decreases in the third and fourth
quarters were concentrated in Federal defense
purchases and were at least partly attributable to
the demobilization following Operation Desert
Storm.
Federal defense purchases decreased 15.4 percent in the fourth quarter after decreasing 8.9
percent in the third. The fourth-quarter decrease
was accounted for by military hardware, particularly aircraft and vehicles, and by purchases
of services, mainly compensation of employ-

quarter after increasing 2.5 percent in the third
(table 7). This price index measures the prices
paid by U.S. residents, and it is derived from the
prices of PCE, gross private domestic investment,
and government purchases.
Prices of PCE increased 2.9 percent in the fourth
quarter, about as much as in the two preceding
quarters. Prices of most of the energy components of PCE increased in the fourth quarter after
decreasing in the third. Food prices increased a
little after a small decrease.
Prices of structures, both residential and nonresidential, decreased slightly after moderate increases.
Prices of nonresidential producers'
durable equipment increased faster in the fourth
quarter than in the third, but the increase was
still modest.
Prices of government purchases increased 2.0
percent, the same as in the third quarter.
The price index for GDP measures the prices
paid for goods and services produced in the
United States. It differs from the price index for
gross domestic purchases by including prices of
exports and excluding prices of imports. The GDP
price index increased 2.2 percent in the fourth
quarter after increasing 2.6 percent in the third.
Prices of both exports and imports swung up in
the fourth quarter.

the preliminary estimate was a o.3-percent decrease, and the advance estimate was a 1.6-percent
decrease (table 8).
The upward revision in GDP was smaller than
that in gross domestic purchases because of a sizable downward revision in net exports. Revisions
in net exports—that is, exports minus imports—
lead to revisions in GDP but not in gross domestic
purchases.
Real inventory investment was revised up $8.3
billion; the upward revision was more than
accounted for by nonfarm inventories, and it
primarily reflected the incorporation of newly
available data on December inventories of retail stores and merchant wholesalers. Personal
consumption expenditures was revised up $7.3
billion; about two-thirds of the revision was in
nondurable goods and largely reflected the incorporation of revised source data for November.
The largest downward revision, $9.3 billion, was
in net exports; exports were revised down and
imports up as a result of the incorporation of
revised merchandise trade data for November
and newly available merchandise trade data for
December. S

NATIONAL INCOME AND PRODUCT ACCOUNTS
Selected NIPA Tables
New estimates in this issue: Fourth quarter and annual 1991, preliminary; fixed-weighted price indexes.
The selected set of national income and product accounts (NIPA) tables shown in this section presents
quarterly estimates, which are updated monthly. (In most tables, the annual estimates are also shown.) Fixedweighted price indexes are shown for the first time since the release of the comprehensive NIPA revision; indexes
are shown in tables 7.1-7.4, 7.6, and 7.9-7.12, and percent changes are shown in table 8.1. Alternative quantity
and price measures and a few series for tables 1.10 and 1.16 are not yet available; leaders are shown for these
parts.
The tables shown are available on the day of the gross domestic product (GDP) news release on printouts
and diskettes on a subscription basis or from the Commerce Department's Economic Bulletin Board. Most
shown in this section are available, beginning with 1959, on diskette or magnetic tape. For order information,

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-of-quarter prices.
The latter is the change in the physical volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. In addition,
changes calculated from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. 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. For the alternative indexes, the chain-type indexes with annual weights use weights
for the preceding and current years, and 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.

NOTE.—Except for disposable personal income, 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. For the alternative indexes, the chain-type
indexes with annual weights use weights for the preceding and current years, and the indexes with benchmarkyears weights use weights of 1959,1963,1967,1972,1977,1982, and 1987 and the most recent year

Corrections to the "Summary National Income and Product Series"—The corrected "Summary" tables begin on the next page. The corrections
were to the following series: Constant (1987) dollar estimates of gross domestic product (GDP), gross private domestic investment (total and
nonresidential), final sales of domestic product, gross domestic purchases, and gross national product (GNP) for the period 1970-73; and percent
changes from the preceding periods in GDP, final sales of domestic product, gross domestic purchases, and GNP for 1970-74. Errors in personal
outlays, personal saving, and the personal saving rate also affected the period, 1959-90 (table 3 of the "Summary" tables); however, the saving rate
was affected for only a few time periods. (The corrected "Summary" tables also reflect errata shown inlhe December 1991 SURVEY,)

shown in this table will not be published because the use of 1987 weights assigns an inappropriately large weight
to the price of computers. For all of these series, alternative price indexes based on weights of more than a single

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

37

User's Guide to BEA Information
BEA provides basic information on such key issues
as economic growth, inflation) regional development,
and the Nation's role in the world economy. This
guide, which lists the most recent and most frequently
requested BEA products and services, helps users locate
that information.
The guide contains program descriptions and

General

entries for specific products and services. The first seetion, entitled "General" describes the products and
services that cut across the range of BEA s work. The
following sections describe the products and services related to BEA's four program areas: National economics,
regional economics, international economics, and other
tools for economic analysis.

BEA'S current national, regional, and international estimates usually appear first in
news releases. (For upcoming release dates, see the outside back cover of this issue.)
The information in news releases is available to the general public in three forms: On
recorded telephone messages, online through the Economic Bulletin Board, and in
BEA Reports. This section describes these services, as well as the SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS—BEA'S monthly publication of record—and products related to it. Most
of BEA'S work is presented in the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, either in full or in
summary form. The presentations of current estimates and analyses are usually on a
regular schedule; this schedule is noted in each of the program-description sections
that follow. For more information on BEA'S programs, products, and services, write to
the Public Information Office, BE-53, Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department

National
Economics

BEA'S national economics program encompasses the national income and product
accounts, government transactions on a national income and product accounting basis,
and the input-output accounts.

National income
and product
accounts

2.0 The national income and product accounts (NIPA'S) show the value and
composition of the Nation's output and the distribution of incomes generated in its
production. The accounts include estimates of gross domestic product (GDP)—the
market value of the Nation's output of goods and services—in current and constant
dollars, GDP price measures, the goods and services that make up GDP in current and
constant dollars, national income, personal income, and corporate profits. In addition,
BEA produces specialized measures such as estimates of auto and truck output, gross
domestic product of corporate business, housing output, and business inventories
and sales. Measures of the inventory and fixed capital stocks consistent with the
NIPA output measures are also provided. Further, the accounts provide a consistent
framework within which estimates of special interest—such as expenditures to protect
the environment—are prepared. (Information about the environmental estimates is
provided in program description 12.0.)
The estimates of GDP are prepared each quarter in the following sequence: Advance
estimates are released in the first month after the end of the quarter, and, as more
detailed and comprehensive data become available, preliminary and final estimates are
released in the second and third months, respectively. Estimates of personal income
and outlays are prepared each month. The NIPA'S are also revised in each of the
following 3 years, usually in July, and in comprehensive (benchmark) revisions, usually
every 5 years (most recently in 1991). Current quarterly and monthly estimates are
reported in the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS; quarterly NIPA estimates appear in a
set of 53 "selected" tables, and monthly personal income and outlays estimates are
reported in the Current Business Statistics (or S-pages). The full set of annual revisions
(134 tables) usually is reported in the July issue. Annual estimates of the fixed capital
stock are reported in the August issue.
In addition to the current and historical estimates described in the entries that
follow, a considerable amount of component detail (for example, purchases of private
structures by type) and industry detail (for example, change in business inventories
by industry) is available. For further information about this detail or about the
listed computer tapes, printouts, and diskettes, write to the National Income and
Wealth Division, BE-54, Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce,
Washington, DC 20230, or call (202) 523-0669. For specific questions, the following

Historical estimates

Summary tables listing the principal source data and estimating methods used
to prepare the NIPA estimates are included in the articles in the SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS that describe annual revisions to the NIPA'S. These tables were last published
in the July 1990 issue and will be updated for the July 1992 issue. A number of
papers that provide detailed descriptions of NIPA concepts and methodologies have
been published (see next entry).
NOTE.—The methodologies used to prepare the NIPA'S are periodically refined to
incorporate definitional changes, new source data, and/or new estimating procedures.
In most cases, changes in methodology are introduced as part of the annual revisions
that usually occur each July or as part of the comprehensive revisions that occur about
every 5 years. The major methodological changes introduced in recent annual revisions
are described in articles about the revised estimates in the July 1986,1987, 1988,1989,
and 1990 issues of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. The major methodological
changes introduced in the most recent comprehensive revision are listed on pages
38-39 of the December 1991 SURVEY.
Methodology Papers (publications). A series of papers that documents the conceptual framework of the NIPA'S and the methodology used to prepare the estimates.
To date, six papers are available.

transactions




3.0 BEA'S estimates of government receipts, expenditures, and surplus or deficit
are on a national income and product accounting basis. The estimates are prepared
separately for Federal and for State and local governments on the same schedule as
that described for the NIPA'S. Reconciliations of the Federal sector on a NIPA basis
and the unified budget prepared by the Office of Management and Budget are the
basis for an article in the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, usually in February, about
Federal fiscal programs for the next fiscal year, and for detailed tables in the July issue.
These reconciliations, and more specialized work such as described in the papers that
follow, facilitate analysis of the effects of government fiscal policies on the economy.
An article on the fiscal position of State and local governments is usually published
in the February SURVEY. For further information, write to the Government Division,

4.0 Input-output accounts for the United States show how industries interact—
providing input to, and taking output from, each other—to produce GNP. Benchmark
tables, based largely on the economic censuses, are prepared every 5 years; the latest
benchmark table is for 1982, and the next will be for 1987. Annual tables are prepared
using basically the same procedures as used for the benchmark tables, but with less
comprehensive and less reliable source data. Associated tables showing capital flows
from producing to using industries and employment and employee compensation by
industry are also prepared. The computer tapes, diskettes, and printouts listed below
are for the tables at the 85-industry level; more detailed tables are also available. For

BEA'S regional economics program provides estimates, analyses, and projections by
region, State, metropolitan area, and county.

February 1992 •

Regional
Economics

5.1 BEA Reports: Regional Reports (EBB, news release). Reports (usually six a
year) with summary estimates of State personal income (quarterly and annual) and
of county and metropolitan area personal income (annual). Reports are available
online through the EBB (see entry no. 1.2). (The EBB carries, in addition to the news
release, estimates of personal income by State and by county and earnings and wages
by industry and by State.) The printed reports are mailed the day after estimates are
released. (This set of reports is included in the five sets of BEA Reports; see entry no.
1.3.) These printed regional reports are available from BEA on a subscription basis:
Accession No. 53-91-11-017, price $12.00 per year.
6.0 Current quarterly State personal income estimates are reported in the January, April, July, and October issues of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. The annual
estimates of State and local area personal income for a given year are subject to successive refinement. Preliminary annual State estimates, based on the current quarterly
series, are released 4 months after the close of the reference year and published in the
April SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. Revised annual estimates based on more reliable
source data are published in the August SURVEY. These estimates are subsequently revised to incorporate newly available information used to prepare the current local area
estimates. The revised State estimates, together with the current local area estimates,
are published in the following April SURVEY. The annual estimates emerging from this
process are subject to further revision for several succeeding years (the State estimates
in April and August and the local area estimates in April), as additional data become
available. The routine revisions of the State estimates for a given year are normally
completed with the fourth April release. After that, the estimates will be changed only
to incorporate a comprehensive revision in the national income and product accounts,
which takes place approximately every 5 years, or to make important improvements
to the estimates through the use of additional or more current State and local area
data.
Estimates of personal income and employment by State, metropolitan area, and
county are available through the Regional Economic Information System (REIS). The
system includes an information retrieval service that provides a variety of analytical
tabulations for counties and combinations of counties. All of the tabulations are
available in several media.
BEA also makes its regional estimates available through the BEA User Group,
members of which include State agencies, universities, and Census Bureau Primary
State Data Centers. BEA provides its estimates of income and employment for all
States and counties to these organizations with the understanding that they will make
the estimates readily available.
For further information, write to the Regional Economic Measurement Division,
BE-55, Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC
20230, or call (202) 254-6630. For specific questions, the following telephone numbers

includes a REIS program, on a separate floppy disk, that allows the user to display,
print, or copy one or more of the standard tables from the historical personal income
series.
In addition, the CD-ROM includes BEA estimates of quarterly personal income by
State (i969:i-i99i:iv) and Census Bureau data on intercounty flows for 1960,1970, and
1980. New on this year's disc are BEA'S latest gross state product estimates for 197789; its projections to 2040 of income and employment for States and metropolitan
areas; and total commuters' income flows, 1969-90. These additional data, though
not accessible through BEA'S REIS program, are in fixed-length record formats and are
easily imported into spreadsheet or database applications. Updated annually. (May

International
Economics

BEA'S international economics program encompasses the international transactions
accounts (balance of payments) and the direct investment estimates. The international transactions accounts, which measure U.S. transactions with foreign countries,
include merchandise trade, trade in services, the current-account balance, and capital
transactions. The direct investment estimates cover estimates of U.S. direct investment
abroad and foreign direct investment in the United States, income and other flows
associated with these investments, and other aspects of the operations of multinational
enterprises.
8.1 BEA Reports: International Reports (EBB, news release). Reports (usually 13
a year) with summary estimates of merchandise trade, balance of payments basis (quarterly); summary of international transactions (quarterly); international investment
position (annual); capital spending by majority-owned foreign affiliates (semiannual);
direct investment (annual); and related topics. Reports are available online through
the EBB (see entry no. 1.2). Printed reports are mailed the day after estimates are
released. (This set of reports is included in the five sets of BEA Reports; see entry no.
1.3.) The printed international reports are available from BEA on a subscription basis:
Accession No. 53-91-11-018, price $26.00 per year.

17. S. international
transactions

9.0 The international transactions accounts provide a detailed and comprehensive view of economic transactions between the United States and foreign countries.
The accounts include estimates of merchandise exports and imports; travel, transportation, and other services; foreign aid; and private and official capital flows, including
direct investment. (Information about direct investment and international services
is provided in program description 10.0.) Current estimates, including estimates of
merchandise trade on a balance of payments basis, are reported in the March, June,
September, and December issues of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. Estimates include detail for the current and capital accounts, classified by type of transaction and
by area. Each June, estimates for the last 4 years are revised.
Estimates of the international investment position of the United States appear
in June. For further information, write to the Balance of Payments Division, BE-58,

BEA'S work on economic accounts is supplemented by various other tools for measuring, analyzing, and forecasting economic developments. These include a system of
business cycle indicators and a set of estimates relating to the environment.

Other Tools for
Economic
Analysis

11.0 BEA maintains a system of indicators to track business cycles. The system
features the composite indexes of leading, coincident, and lagging indicators. The
data base includes series classified as cyclical indicators (because they conform well to
broad fluctuations in economic activity), as well as other series useful in interpreting
the economic situation and outlook. Each month preliminary values of the three
composite indexes for the latest month and revised values for the 5 preceding months
are released. Once a year, in the fall, the composite indexes are recalculated for
recent years to incorporate historical revisions in component data. Information on
composite indexes appears each month in the Business Cycle Indicators section (Cpages) of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. For further information, write to the
Business Outlook Division, BE-52, Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department
of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230, or call (202) 523-0800. A recorded telephone
message at (202) 898-2450 provides current data for the composite indexes (and the
leading index components) immediately upon their release. The message is updated
weekly, usually on Monday, to include recently available component data that will be
incorporated into the next release (see entry no. 1.1).

Business cycle
indicators

11.1 BEA Reports: Composite Indexes of Leading, Coincident, and Lagging Indicators (EBB, news release). Monthly reports with summary estimates of the composite
indexes. Reports are available online through the EBB (see entry no. 1.2). Printed
reports are mailed the day after estimates are released. (This set of reports is included
in the five sets of BEA Reports-, see entry no. 1.3.) The printed composite index reports are available from BEA on a subscription basis: Accession No. 53-91-11-016* price
$24.00 per year.

Environmental
estimates




12.0 BEA maintains a set of annual current- and constant-dollar estimates of
capital expenditures and operating costs for pollution abatement and control. These
estimates, which are prepared within the framework of the national income and product accounts, are classified by sector (consumers, business, and government) and by
element of the environment affected (air, land, and water). The most recent SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS article reporting the capital expenditures appeared in November
1988, and the most recent article reporting the total expenditures (including operating
costs) appeared in November 1991. For further information, write to the Environmental Economics Division, BE-62, Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of

Detailed Data on the Structure of the U.S. Economy

THE 1982 BENCHMARK INPUT-OUTPUT ACCOUNTS
OF THE UNITED STATES
This volume presents the 1982 benchmark input-output (I-O) accounts
for the U.S. economy in tables showing:
• The production of 541 commodities (goods and services) by
each of 541 industries

THE D SAILED INPUT-OUTPUT STRUCTURE
U.S. ECONOMY, 1982

artt*

• The use of these commodities by each industry
• The commodity composition of GNP
• The industry distribution of value added
BEA prepared these accounts primarily on the basis of data collected in the 1982 U.S. economic censuses.
Two tables are basic to the accounts. The first, the "make" table, shows the industry production of each commodity in the economy.
The second, the "use" table, shows the commodities consumed, or used, by each industry and final consumer. Descriptions of
the data sources and methods as well as the industry and commodity classification systems used are included.
The "make" and "use" tables provide valuable information to market researchers and others who wish to analyze and project the
use of particular products. The major analytical use of the estimates in the I-O accounts is in economic analyses that require the
measurement of both the direct and indirect effects of changes in demand. The I-O accounts are also used as a source of weights
for preparing price or output indexes. Order your copy today!
All data developed for this study are available in machine-readable form;
for further information, call BEA at (202) 523-0792.

L,C,Lg,U Cyclical indicator series are classified as L (leading), C (coincident), Lg (lagging), or U (unclassified) at reference cycle peaks, troughs, and overall. Series classifications
are shown in parentheses following the series titles,
t Cyclical indicator series denoted by $ are inverted (i.e., the sign is reversed) for cyclical analysis calculations, including classifications, contributions to composite indexes,
and current high values,
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 n'sing 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
L
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.

f 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.
ft Effective May 1991 SURVEY, the Boeckh indexes have a new base year of 1987.
