Gross Product of U.S. Multinational Companies, 1977-91
The share of production of U.S. multinational companies (MNC'S) that originates in the United States has increased modestly since 1977. Among MNC'S in
manufacturing, however, the foreign share of production has increased; this shift
toward foreign operations has been concentrated in countries with relatively
high wage rates, suggesting that wage rates are not the dominant factor in determining the location of manufacturing production.

64 New Estimates of Monthly U.S. International Services
Transactions
In March, BEA is introducing monthly estimates of U.S. international services
transactions. These estimates will be combined with existing Census Bureau
estimates of merchandise trade in a joint news release that will provide a more
complete and more timely picture of U.S. foreign trade.

l\egular features

Business Situation
Real GDP increased 7.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 1993, compared with a
2.9-percent increase in the third quarter. Fixed investment—both nonresidential and residential—picked up strongly, and inventory investment and exports
turned up sharply.

34 Federal Budget Estimates, Fiscal Year 1995
In BEA'S annual "translation" of the administration's budget, the Federal deficit
on a NIPA basis will shrink from $187.9 billion in fiscal year 1994 to $146.2 billion
in fiscal year 1995. Before translation, the budget shows the deficit shrinking
from $234.8 billion to $176.1 billion.

LOOKING AHEAD
Current Business Statistics. As this issue of the SURVEY went to the printer, BEA received approval to reprogram selected resources into areas that are primary to its mission of preparing economic accounts. One result of this reprogramming is that BEA
will discontinue compiling and publishing the "Current Business Statistics" (S-pages)
section of the SURVEY. The March 1994 SURVEY will be the last issue containing this
section, BEA series that are presently published in the S-pages will be retained elsewhere in the SURVEY, BEA will provide a listing of sources for the S-page series, including addresses and telephone numbers, in the March and April issues.

BUSINESS

(T\ EAL GROSS domestic product (GDP), a meas./yure of goods and services produced in the
United States, increased 7.5 percent in the fourth
quarter of 1993, according to the "preliminary"
estimate of the national income and product accounts (NIPA'S). The "advance" estimate of the
NIPA'S, reported in the January "Business Situation," showed a 5.9-percent increase.1 Real gross
domestic purchases, a measure of goods and services purchased by U.S. residents, increased 7.2
percent, 0.7 percentage point more than the advance estimate. The fixed-weighted price index
for gross domestic purchases increased 2.2 percent, about the same as the advance estimate.
(The sources of these revisions are discussed in
"Revisions" later in this article.)
The 7.5-percent increase in real GDP in the
fourth quarter followed a 2.9-percent increase
in the third and was the largest increase since
the first quarter of 1984 (chart 1). The acceleration was more than accounted for by a
very sharp step-up in the production of goods
and a smaller—but still sizable—step-up in the
production of structures (table 1). Half of the acceleration in goods production was accounted for
by an upturn in motor vehicle production; both

ably less in the fourth quarter than in the third;
household operation was the biggest contributor
to the slowdown.
The 7.2-percent increase in real gross domestic purchases followed an increase of 3.7 percent
(table 2). Inventory investment added about as
much to the change in gross domestic purchases
in the fourth quarter as it had subtracted in the
third; the upswing was more than accounted for
by farm inventory investment, which rebounded
from a third-quarter decrease that largely re-

flected the effects of floods and drought.2 Final
sales to domestic purchasers increased 6.7 percent after increasing 4.2 percent. Most of the
step-up was accounted for by fixed investment,
which increased almost three times as much in
2. In allocating the annual loss caused by the floods and drought to the
quarterly estimates, the Bureau of Economic Analysis lowered farm inventories by $7.5 billion in the third quarter and by $2.5 billion in the fourth. See
"Impact of the 1993 Floods and Drought," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 73
(September 1993): 2. These adjustments lowered third-quarter growth of real
GDP by 0.6 percentage point and raised fourth-quarter growth by 0.4 percentage point; growth in the first quarter of 1994 will be raised 0.2 percentage
point.

the fourth quarter as in the third. An acceleration
in nonresidential fixed investment reflected stepups in both structures and producers' durable
equipment; an acceleration in residential investment was largely accounted for by single-family
construction.
Exports and imports are the link between the
goods and services produced in the United States
(or GDP) and the goods and services purchased
by U.S. residents (or gross domestic purchases).
Exports, which are produced in the United States
but not purchased by U.S. residents, posted a
strong increase in the fourth quarter after a small
decrease in the third. Imports, which are purchased by U.S. residents but not produced in the
United States, posted almost as strong an increase
as exports after a moderate increase in the third.
Personal consumption expenditures
Real personal consumption expenditures (PCE)
increased 4.6 percent in the fourth quarter after increasing 4.4 percent in the third (table 3).

Durable goods accelerated, nondurable goods increased at about the same rate as in the third
quarter, and services slowed.
Three factors that were favorable to consumption spending in the fourth quarter are shown in
chart 2. Real disposable personal income jumped
5.8 percent after increasing only 1.6 percent. The
unemployment rate fell to 6.5 percent, its lowest
level since the first quarter of 1991. The Index of
Consumer Sentiment (prepared by the University
of Michigan's Survey Research Center) jumped
to its highest level in three quarters.
Expenditures for durable goods increased 15.4
percent after increasing 7.6 percent. The stepup was accounted for by motor vehicles and
parts, which turned up sharply, and by furniture
and household equipment, which increased even
more than in the third quarter. The upturn in
motor vehicles and parts was nearly evenly split
between new autos and trucks. Most of the stepup in furniture and household equipment was
in consumer electronics. "Other" durable goods
decreased slightly after increasing sharply.
Expenditures for nondurable goods increased
3.6 percent after increasing 3.7 percent. Clothing and shoes, food, and "other" nondurable
goods increased more than in the third quarter. Energy—primarily gasoline and oil—turned
down.
Expenditures for services increased 2.4 percent
after increasing 3.9 percent. The deceleration
was accounted for by household operation (primarily electricity and gas), "other" services, and
housing. Electricity and gas expenditures for
cooling and heating edged down, as a slightly
colder-than-normal fourth quarter followed a
hotter-than-normal third quarter. A slowdown
in "other" services was mostly accounted for by
religious and welfare services and by recreation
services—primarily motion picture admissions,
which decreased after jumping sharply. Transportation services increased more in the fourth
quarter than in the third, primarily reflecting the
reaction of consumers to lower air fares. Medical
care services increased at about the same rate in
the fourth quarter as in the third.

Real nonresidential fixed investment jumped 22.1
percent in the fourth quarter after increasing 7.4
percent in the third (table 4). Structures and
producers' durable equipment both contributed
to the acceleration.
Several factors that affect investment spending were favorable in the fourth quarter. The

yield on new high-grade corporate bonds increased only slightly from the 25-year low it had
reached in the third quarter. The capacity utilization rate in manufacturing resumed its uptrend
with a substantial increase. Real final sales of
domestic product increased strongly after having increased moderately over the preceding four
quarters. (Fourth-quarter corporate profits and
cash flow are not yet available.)

quarter increase; communications equipment
accounted for the rest.
Residential investment
Real residential investment increased 31.0 percent in the fourth quarter after increasing 11.9
percent in the third. A jump in single-family
construction accounted for most of the step-up.

Structures increased 14.2 percent, the largest
increase in more than 6 years, after a very
small increase. Nonresidential buildings accelerated sharply; industrial structures jumped after
a moderate increase, and commercial structures
jumped after a moderate decrease. Utilities
turned up and oil well drilling turned down by
about equal amounts.

Producers' durable equipment (PDE) increased
24.9 percent after increasing 10.0 percent. About
two-thirds of the acceleration was accounted for
by an upturn in transportation equipment; purchases of trucks turned up, and purchases of
civilian aircraft decreased less than in the third
quarter. Industrial equipment and "other" PDE
increased substantially after increasing moderately in the third quarter; in both categories, the
strength was widespread. Information processing equipment posted another 30-plus-percent
increase. Computers and peripheral equipment,
which accounted for most of the third-quarter
increase, accounted for about half of the fourth

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Single-family construction increased 40.2 percent after increasing 4.9 percent. Single-family
construction in a quarter is largely determined by
housing starts in that quarter and in the preceding quarter. Fourth-quarter construction, thus,
reflects housing starts in the third and fourth
quarters. Starts averaged 1.207 million units (annual rate) in the third and fourth quarters, up
from an average of 1.111 million in the second and
third quarters (chart 3).
Multifamily construction decreased 15.4 percent after increasing 40.6 percent; the thirdquarter increase was the first in more than a
year and only the third in 4 years. The rental
vacancy rate decreased slightly in the fourth quarter but remained high; at 6.9 percent, it was

February 1994

not significantly different from the third-quarter
rate or from the rate in the fourth quarter of
1992. The Low Income Housing Tax Credit program, which was reauthorized in mid-1993, is
expected to give a substantial boost to starts of
subsidized housing, which currently accounts for
about one-fourth of multifamily construction.
"Other" residential investment increased 26.1
percent after increasing 18.3 percent; the stepup was accounted for by brokers' commissions.3
Sales of existing houses increased 10.2 percent
(not an annual rate) after increasing 8.0 percent,
and sales of new houses increased 16.4 percent
after increasing 3.7 percent. Mortgage rates continued near their lowest levels in a generation
(chart 4).
Inventory investment

CHART 4

Real inventory investment—that is, the change
in business inventories—increased $6.9 billion in
the fourth quarter after decreasing $6.5 billion in
the third. The upturn was more than accounted
for by farm inventories (table 5).
Farm inventory investment increased $8.5 billion, as inventory decumulation slowed to $4.4
billion from $12.9 billion. Crop inventories were
reduced in both quarters as a result of the Midwest floods and Southeast drought; the reduction
was substantially larger in the third quarter than
in the fourth. Inventories of livestock increased
slightly after decreasing.
Nonfarm inventory investment decreased slightly,
as the pace of accumulation, though still substantial, slowed to $17.8 billion from $19.4 billion.
Retail trade other than auto dealers accounted

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
for two-thirds of the accumulation in the fourth
quarter and for almost as much in the third; in
both quarters, more than half of the accumulation was accounted for by furniture and appliance
stores and by building materials and hardware
stores. Retail automotive inventories increased
modestly after a sharp drop.
Wholesale trade inventories increased less than
in the third quarter. Inventories of durable goods
increased about half as much as in the third
quarter, while inventories of nondurable goods
increased about the same amount as in the third
quarter.
Manufacturing inventories of both durable
goods and nondurable goods decreased in the
fourth quarter after increasing in the third.
The decrease in inventories of durable goods
was more than accounted for by transportation
equipment other than motor vehicles (mainly air-

craft). The decrease in inventories of nondurable
goods was accounted for by food and chemicals.
Reflecting a surge in sales in the fourth quarter,
the constant-dollar ratio of nonfarm inventories
to all final sales fell to 2.45 in the fourth quarter
from 2.49 in the third. A ratio in which final
sales are limited to goods and structures fell to
4.21 from 4.32. Both ratios were at the lowest
levels in 20 years.
Net exports of goods and services
Real exports increased 20.5 percent in the fourth
quarter after decreasing 0.9 percent in the
third. Real imports increased 16.2 percent after
increasing 6.0 percent (table 6).
Exports of goods jumped 29.5 percent after a
small decrease. Exports of agricultural products
turned up, and exports of nonagricultural products accelerated sharply. Most of the acceleration

in nonagricultural exports reflected upturns in
civilian aircraft and parts and in autos. Exports
of services decreased the same amount as in the
third quarter.
Imports of goods increased 17.8 percent after
increasing 6.7 percent. Imports of petroleum
and petroleum products turned up, and nonpetroleum imports accelerated. The acceleration
in nonpetroleum imports was more than accounted for by autos and by nonautomotive
capital goods. Imports of services increased
moderately after a smaller increase.
Government purchases
Real government purchases increased 0.1 percent
in the fourth quarter after increasing 0.3 percent in the third (table 7). Federal Government
purchases decreased somewhat less than in the
third quarter, and State and local government
purchases increased somewhat less.
Federal defense purchases decreased 3.5 percent
after decreasing 9.8 percent. The fourth-quarter
decrease was spread across all types of purchases,
but more than half of it was in compensation of employees, which decreased for the 11th
consecutive quarter.
Federal nondefense purchases decreased 7.5
percent after increasing 2.5 percent. The fourthquarter decrease was accounted for by purchases
of services.
State and local government purchases increased
3.1 percent after increasing 4.5 percent. Most
of the slight slowdown was accounted for by
structures.
Revisions
The preliminary fourth-quarter estimate of a 7.5percent increase in real GDP is 1.6 percentage
points higher than the advance estimate (table 8).
This revision, which is nearly three times as large
as the average revision from the advance to the
preliminary estimate, is the largest in more than
5 years. More than half of the revision reflected
revisions to exports and imports. Exports were
revised up $7.6 billion, and imports were revised
down $3.9 billion. (Imports are subtracted in
the calculation of GDP, SO a downward revision
in imports leads to a upward revision in GDP.)
The revision to exports primarily reflected the incorporation of newly available merchandise trade
data that showed an unexpectedly large jump
in merchandise exports in December; the jump
was almost as large as the increase over the first
11 months of the year. Similarly, the revision




to imports primarily reflected the incorporation
of newly available merchandise trade data that
showed an unexpected decrease in merchandise
imports in December.
Personal consumption expenditures was revised up $4.7 billion on the basis of revised source
data on retail sales for November and December; more than half of this revision was reflected
in expenditures for food, for clothing and shoes,
and for furniture and equipment. Farm inventory investment, State and local government
purchases, and nonresidential fixed investment
were revised up by smaller amounts. Small
downward revisions were made to nonfarm inTable 8.—Revisions in Real Gross Domestic Product

ventory investment, residential investment, and
Federal Government purchases.
For real gross domestic purchases, the preliminary estimate of a 7.2-percent increase is 0.7
percentage point higher than the advance estimate. (Revisions to gross domestic purchases are
not affected by revisions to exports and imports.)
The fourth-quarter increases in the fixedweighted price indexes for gross domestic purchases and for GDP were both revised up 0.1
percentage point.
Alternative measures
Alternative measures of output and prices for
GDP and other major aggregates are shown in
NIPA table 7.1; corresponding percentage changes
are shown in table 8.1. Beginning with the May
1993 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, the alternative measures have been published as part of the
regular presentation of the preliminary and final quarterly NIPA estimates. Differences between
changes in the alternative measures and in BEA'S
featured—fixed-1987-weighted—measure of real
GDP for the third quarter of 1993 and for
the period since the most recent business-cycle
trough were briefly noted in the November 1993
"Business Situation."
As explained in the March 1993 SURVEY, both
of the alternative measures of output and prices
for the quarters of 1993 are currently calculated
using 1992 annual weights.4 Consequently, the
alternative measures provide an estimate of the
effect of shifting the price and quantity weights
used in BEA'S featured measures of output and
prices from 1987 to 1992.
Using the alternative measures, real GDP increased 6.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 1993,
compared with the 7.5-percent increase using the
featured measure. The 0.8-percentage-point difference in growth rates, while the largest in the
current expansion, is about the same as in the
third quarter of 1993, when the growth rate of
4. See Allan H. Young, "Alternative Measures of Change in Real Output
and Prices, Quarterly Estimates for 1959-92," SURVEY 73 (March 1993): 31-41.
As explained in table B of that article, estimates of the alternative measures
beginning with the third quarter of 1992 that are released after this summer's
annual NIPA revision will be produced using different weights.




the alternative measures was 0.7 percentage point
lower than that of the featured measure. Nevertheless, a historical comparison using any one of
the measures shows that the growth in real GDP
in the fourth quarter was the strongest since the
first quarter of 1984.
The slower growth in fourth-quarter GDP in the
alternative measures indicates that less weight is
being given to components that since 1987 have
above-average increases in output and belowaverage increases in prices. Computers and
peripheral equipment, the output of which grew
rapidly in the third and fourth quarters of 1993,
account for almost all of the difference between
the 1992- and 1987-weighted measures in the third
quarter and for about one-half of the difference
in the fourth. Between 1987 and 1992, prices
of computers and peripherals dropped sharply,
while prices of most other components increased.
Additional components for which price increases
since 1987 have been below average contributed
to the differences in both quarters, but they
were less important factors in the third quarter than in the fourth. The most significant
contributions came from other components of
personal consumption expenditures for durable
goods and of producers' durable equipment and
from residential structures.
GDP growth rates based on the alternative
measures were also lower in the full year 1993
than the 3.0-percent increase in the featured
measure. The benchmark-years-weighted measure increased 2.7 percent, and the chain-type
annual-weighted measure increased 2.8 percent.
Measures of price change have been only
slightly affected by changes in the composition of
output since 1987. In the fourth quarter, the alternative measures for gross domestic purchases
prices increased 2.3 percent, 0.1 percentage point
more than the featured measure. Larger increases
in the alternative measures for government purchases were offset by smaller increases for fixed
investment, primarily in computers. For the year
1993, the alternative measures for gross domestic
purchases increased 2.9 percent, 0.2 percentage
point less than the featured measure. E2

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 fixedweighted 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.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

A Look at How BEA Presents the NlPA's
THIS GUIDE is designed to assist users in locating national in-

come and product accounts (NIPA) estimates and to explain some
of the conventions used in their presentation. The system of
presentation has evolved over a number of years and has been
shaped by many factors—for example, the frequency of the series (annual, quarterly, or monthly) and the extent of historical
coverage. The system is best explained by beginning with a brief
description of BEA'S release schedule for the estimates.
Release schedule
Quarterly estimates of gross domestic product (GDP) are released
on the following schedule: "Advance" estimates are released near
the end of the first month after the end of a quarter; as more
detailed and more comprehensive data become available, "preliminary" and "final" estimates are released near the end of the
second and third months, respectively. Quarterly estimates of
gross national product, national income, corporate profits, and
net interest lag the GDP estimates by 1 month: The first estimates
of these items are released with the preliminary GDP estimates,
and the revised estimates are released with the final GDP estimates. (The fourth-quarter estimates of these items lag by an
additional month.) Monthly estimates of personal income and
outlays are released near the end of the month following the
reference month; estimates for the most recent 2-4 months are
revised at that time.
Ordinarily, annual revisions are carried out each July and
cover the months and quarters of the most recent calendar
year and the 2 preceding years. (For example, the July 1994
revision will cover 1991, 1992, and 1993.) These revisions are
timed to incorporate newly available major annual source data.
Comprehensive revisions are carried out at about 5-year intervals. Definitional or classificational changes made to improve
the NIPA'S as a tool of economic analysis are usually introduced
at the time of comprehensive revisions, the most recent of which
was released in December 1991.
Presentation of NIPA estimates
Organization of the NIPA tables.—The NIPA tables are grouped

into nine categories:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.

National Product and Income
Personal Income and Outlays
Government Receipts and Expenditures
Foreign Transactions
Saving and Investment
Income, Employment, and Product by Industry
Quantity and Price Indexes
Supplementary Tables
Seasonally Unadjusted Estimates




In the "Supplementary Tables" category, the first table shows
percentage changes in the major NIPA aggregates. Other tables
cover the following: Selected per capita series; auto, truck, farm
sector, and housing sector output; detail on several components
of gross national income (consumption of fixed capital, capital
consumption adjustment, business transfer payments, supplements to wages and salaries, rental income of persons, dividends,
and interest); imputations; and reconciliations of several NIPA
measures with the source data (for example, tax return tabulations) from which they are derived or to which they are closely
related.
The table numbers have two parts. The first part indicates the
category number, and the second part indicates the table number
within that category. A letter suffix is used to represent major discontinuities in coverage—for example, the edition of the
Standard Industrial Classification (sic) underlying the estimates.
From time to time, changes in the coverage or in the quality of the statistics result in discontinuities in NIPA time series.
For example, beginning with i960, the estimates cover the 50
States and the District of Columbia; before i960, Alaska and
Hawaii were partly omitted. While it is not possible to identify all discontinuities, major discontinuities are highlighted. In
addition to the use of letter suffixes to indicate major discontinuities in coverage, other types of discontinuities are referenced
in the footnotes; see, for example, those for tables 2.2 through
2.7 and tables 4.1 through 4.4.
The full set of NIPA tables, which consists of 132 tables and
about 5,100 line items, contains annual, quarterly, and monthly
estimates. Annual estimates are based on source data that are
typically not available on a quarterly or monthly basis. Many of
the tables with only annual estimates show detailed breakdowns

Alternative Media
Within minutes of their official release, BEA makes the NIPA estimates available electronically through the Economic Bulletin Board
maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce's Office of Business Analysis (OBA). In addition, BEA provides annual and quarterly
NIPA estimates to the National Trade Data Bank and the National
Economic, Social, and Environmental Data Bank, which are published by OBA on CD-ROM. For information, call OBA at (202)
482-1986.
BEA also prepares recorded telephone messages summarizing key
estimates immediately after their release: For gross domestic product, call (202) 606-5306; for personal income and outlays, call (202)
606-5303.
NIPA estimates are available on computer tape and on diskettes.

of components; for example, tables 5.6 and 5.7 show purchases of
structures by type (in current and constant dollars, respectively).
An index is available to help users locate NIPA series and topics
covered by the NIPA'S. For each series or topic, the index identifies the NIPA table (or tables) containing the item. Commonly
used terms that differ from the NIPA wording are cross-referenced
to the appropriate NIPA item. This index appeared most recently
in the August 1993 SURVEY.
Publication of the NIPA tables.—The "National Income and Product Accounts" section of the SURVEY is the primary vehicle for
the publication of the NIPA'S. Except for years in which comprehensive revisions are released, a full set of NIPA tables is published
in the SURVEY at the time of the annual revision, usually in July.
In other months, the SURVEY contains a set of "Selected NIPA
Tables," which presents the quarterly estimates that are released
each month (and the corresponding annual estimates). The selected set comprises 53 tables from the first eight NIPA categories.
(Seasonally unadjusted estimates are compiled only once a year
and thus are not included in the selected set of tables.) For
users' convenience in tracking specific estimates, the numbering
system established for the full set of tables is retained in the
selected set; as a result, gaps in table numbering occur in the
presentation of the selected tables. A note preceding the NIPA
tables indicates whether the estimates are advance, preliminary,
or final.
The SURVEY presents estimates only for the most recent 2-4
years. A separate volume or set of volumes containing historical
estimates is published after comprehensive revisions. The most

recently published set is The National Income and Product Accounts of the United States: Volume 1, 1929-58, and Volume 2,
1959-88. (These two volumes are available from the U.S. Government Printing Office; see inside back cover of this issue for
order information.) This set of historical volumes contains the
most up-to-date estimates for the years 1929-87. For 1988, the
second historical volume contains the most up-to-date estimates
for all tables except tables 7.1, 7.2, and 8.1; for these tables, the
latest estimates for 1988 are in the September 1993 SURVEY. For
1989, the latest estimates for most series are in the July 1992
SURVEY; the estimates for tables 3.15-3.20 and 9.1-9.6 are in the
September 1992 SURVEY, and those for tables 7.1, 7.2, and 8.1 are
in the September 1993 SURVEY. For 1990-92, the latest estimates
for most series are in the August 1993 SURVEY; the estimates for
tables 1.15, 1.16, 3.15-3.20, 7.1, 7.2, 7.15, 8.1, and 9.1-9.6 are in the
September 1993 SURVEY. (The complete official time series are
also available on alternative media; see box on preceding page.)
Some detailed tables in the historical volumes cover shorter
time spans than the volume title indicates. In addition, tables
with an "A" or a "B" suffix (for example, 6.4A) appear only in
the historical volumes. A letter suffix, as explained earlier, is
used to represent major discontinuities in coverage.
Historical summary NIPA series are presented each year in
the SURVEY, most recently in the September 1993 issue. In this
summary presentation, most of the components found in tables
1.1 and 1.2 and several other major components are shown back
to 1929 annually, to 1946 quarterly on a current-dollar basis,
and to 1947 quarterly on a constant-dollar basis. In addition,

the SURVEY.

"Reconciliation and Other Special Tables" regularly shows tables that reconcile NIPA estimates with related series and that

estimates

Most of the estimates are presented in billions of dollars. The
major exceptions are certain current-dollar annual estimates,
which are presented in millions of dollars, and estimates presented as index numbers. Current-dollar estimates are valued in
the prices of the period in which the transaction takes place.
Constant-dollar estimates are valued in the prices of a period
designated the base period (at present, 1987), thus removing price
change from any period-to-period movement in the series. The
designation of 1987 as the base period also means that levels in
1987 are set equal to 100 in calculating quantity and price indexes
and implicit price deflators.1
For quarters and months, the estimates (except indexes) are
presented at annual rates. Annual rates show values for a quarter
or a month at their annual equivalent (that is, the value that
would be registered if the rate of activity measured for a month
or a quarter were maintained for a full year). Annual rates
make it easier to compare values for time periods of different
lengths—for example, quarters and years.
The percent changes shown in table 8.1 are also expressed at
annual rates and are calculated from the published quarterly
estimates, which are rounded to the nearest one-tenth of a billion dollars. The annual rates for quarterly percent changes are
calculated with a variant of the compound interest rate formula:

r= (

4

-l

x 100,

where r - the percent change at an annual rate and Qt and
Qt-i = the quarterly estimates for a quarter and the preceding
quarter, respectively.
Quarterly and monthly NIPA estimates are seasonally adjusted,
if necessary. Seasonal adjustment removes from the time series
the average impact of variations that normally occur at about
the same time and in about the same magnitude each year—
for example, weather, holidays, and tax payment dates. In most
cases, BEA uses source data that are seasonally adjusted by the
source agency; in others, the statistical procedures used by BEA—
for example, the x-11 variant of the Census Method 11 seasonal
adjustment program—are based on historical experience. After
seasonal adjustment, cyclical and other short-term changes in
the economy stand out more clearly. B !
1. BEA also prepares two alternative measures of real output and prices. These alternatives
use the Fisher Ideal index formula to provide a measure of change between two periods.
In one alternative, the weights change each year; in the other, the weights change each
benchmark year—that is, at about 5-year intervals.

Federal Budget Estimates, Fiscal Year 1995
By Karl Galbraith

j HE FISCAL 1995 budget transmitted by the
1 President to Congress shows a reduction
in the Federal deficit—to the lowest level in
6 years—as tax receipts increase more than
spending.1 The only major tax proposal is to raise
the excise tax on tobacco products (for cigarettes,
75 cents a pack). Spending increases are proposed for a variety of discretionary programs, but
these are partly offset by proposals to cut back
300 programs and to eliminate 115 others. Overall, these spending changes, together with other
policy changes, would pull discretionary outlays
below 1994 levels. (The budget contains few of
the costs of overhauling the nation's health-care
system, which will grow primarily after fiscal year
1995, and it does not reflect the recently enacted
$8.6 billion California earthquake aid package.)
Major changes that would hold down the
increase in outlays include the following
proposals:
• Reduce national defense spending ($9.1
billion).
• Reduce unemployment compensation ($3.7
billion).
• Sell assets of Resolution Trust Corporation
(RTC) Fund ($8.6 billion).
• Reduce outlays of the Commodity Credit
Corporation ($3.6 billion).
This article summarizes the administration's
budget estimates and the economic assumptions
underlying them, and it provides a translation
of the estimates into the national income and
product accounts (NIPA) framework.2

lengthened, and hiring increased; by December,
the unemployment rate had fallen to 6.4 percent. As the slack in labor and product markets
is taken up, the inflation rate is assumed to edge
up slightly. Short-term interest rates are projected to rise moderately from their exceptionally
low 1993 levels. Restraints on U.S. economic
growth, some of which will continue through
1995, include the scaling-back of the defense sector, weak economies in Europe and Japan, and

worldwide competition that is pressuring companies to control costs, often by downsizing their
work forces.
The administration forecasts real GDP to increase 3.0 percent during 1994 and 2.7 percent
during 1995, compared with a 2.3-percent increase
during 1993 (table 1). (These changes are from
fourth quarter to fourth quarter.) Inflation as
measured by the Consumer Price Index is forecast to be 3.0 percent during 1994 and 3.2 percent
during 1995, compared with 2.8 percent during
1993. The unemployment rate is forecast to drop
to 6.4 percent during 1994 and to 6.0 percent
during 1995 from the 1993 level of 6.7 percent.
Current services estimates
Current services estimates show what receipts and
outlays would be without policy change. In concept, these estimates are neither recommended
amounts nor forecasts; they form a base with
which administration or congressional proposals
can be compared. The estimates are based on the
same economic assumptions as those underlying
the budget.

the Budget

Budget receipts in 1995 are $12.2 billion higher
than the current services estimate, primarily reflecting the proposed tax on tobacco products,
net of income offsets (table 2).3 Budget outlays in
1995 are $6.7 billion lower than the current services estimate, mainly reflecting declines in defense
programs, medicare, and international affairs.
The budget estimates
Under the administration's budget, receipts in
fiscal year 1995 increase $104.7 billion—or 8.4
percent—to $1,353.8 billion. Receipts in 1994 are
$1,249.1 billion, up 8.3 percent from 1993. Onehalf of the 1995 increase is due to growth in the
tax base, and the rest is due to tax changes under
the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993
(OBRA 93) ($45.3 billion) and the proposed tobacco tax ($12.0 billion). One-fourth of the 1994
increase is due to OBRA 93 ($24.3 billion), with
the remainder primarily due to growth in the tax
base.
Budget outlays in fiscal year 1995 increase $35.1
billion—or 2.4 percent—to $1,518.9 billion (table 3). Outlays in 1994 are $1,483.8 billion, up
5.4 percent from 1993. The 1995 increase is the
net result of increases of $62.0 billion and decreases of $26.9 billion. The decreases are much
3. The offsets occur because the higher tobacco tax is expected to reduce
incomes of individuals and corporations and to lower employment.

more widespread in 1995 than in the preceding
years, affecting 10 of 19 Federal spending functions, compared with 3 in 1994 and 4 in 1993.
The total net increase in 1995 outlays is more
than accounted for by increases in social security, medicare, and health. The largest increase
in 1994 is for commerce and housing credits
($23.2 billion), primarily for the RTC Fund. The
largest decreases in 1995 are for national defense
($9.2 billion) and commerce and housing credits
($6.0 billion), again primarily for the RTC Fund.
Table 4.—Current Services, Budget, and NIPA Estimates
of Federal Government Receipts and Expenditures

The largest decrease in 1994 is also for national
defense ($11.2 billion).
The budget deficit for fiscal year 1994 is roughly
the same as the current services deficit (table 4).
The deficit for 1995 is smaller than the current
services deficit because of revenue gains, especially from the tobacco tax proposal. The 1995
budget deficit is $176.1 billion, down $58.7 billion from 1994; of this decrease, $50.6 billion
results from a decline in the current services
budget deficit, and $8.1 billion results from the
administration's proposals, primarily the tobacco
tax.

that are consistent with the budget estimates. Estimates of the Federal sector, which are integrated
conceptually and statistically with the rest of the
NIPA'S, differ in several respects from the budget
estimates; unlike the budget estimates, these estimates exclude financial transactions, such as
loans, and they record categories of receipts and
expenditures on a timing basis different from that

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
of the budget.4 Table 4 summarizes the differences between the current services estimates,
the administration's budget, and the budget estimates on the NIPA basis. Table 5 shows the
relation between budget receipts and NIPA receipts, and table 6 shows the relation between
budget outlays and NIPA expenditures.5
In table 6, the Federal Communication Commission auction of the radio spectrum is a new
reconciliation item—a $4.3 billion receipt in 1995.
This transaction is tentatively classified as an
exchange for a preexisting intangible asset; it
is subtracted from budget outlays in deriving
Federal expenditures on the NIPA basis.
Federal receipts on the NIPA basis increase
$105.5 billion in fiscal year 1995, to $1,450.9 billion, reflecting $66.0 billion from higher tax bases
and $39.6 billion from other tax changes (table 7). The increase is primarily due to enacted
legislation, OBRA 93, and proposed legislation
4. For a detailed discussion of the differences, see Government Transactions, NIPA Methodology Paper Series MP-5. (MP-5 is available from the
National Technical Information Service, Accession No. PB 90-118480.) In addition, footnote 4 in the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS article that described
the fiscal year 1993 budget (March 1992 issue, page 32) contains information
that updates the methodology paper.
5. The relation of budget receipts and outlays to NIPA receipts and expenditures is shown in NIPA table 3.18B, last published in the September 1993
SURVEY.

for the tobacco tax. The increases in corporate profits tax accruals and in contributions for
social insurance are down for the second consecutive year, reflecting tax law changes that target
high-income individuals and tobacco consumers.
Chart 1 shows the components of receipts on the
NIPA basis for 1985-95.
Federal expenditures on the NIPA basis increase
$63.8 billion in fiscal year 1995, to $1,597.1 billion
(table 8). Federal expenditure growth accelerates
in fiscal year 1995, primarily because of increased
growth in net interest and transfer payments
(chart 2). For fiscal year 1995, the largest increases
in expenditures are for transfer payments—$15.9
billion for social security (of which, $8.6 billion
in cost-of-living adjustments) and $14.9 billion
for medicare. Other large increases include
nondefense purchases ($11.6 billion), net interest payments ($10.0 billion), and grants-in-aid to
State and local governments for medicaid ($9.2
billion). National defense purchases fall $5.9
billion, and subsidies less the current surplus
of government enterprises decrease $0.9 billion.

on the NIPA basis for 1985-95.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
National defense outlays in the budget differ
from national defense purchases in the NIPA'S (see
table 9) for three principal reasons. First, some
defense outlays, such as disbursements for foreign
military sales, are not treated as purchases in the
NIPA'S. Second, a timing difference exists because
the NIPA'S are on a delivery basis, and budget
outlays are on a cash basis, NIPA deliveries de-

celerate and exceed outlays in all 3 years. Third,
financing of the military retirement program is
treated differently in the two series. Defense outlays measure this item as a cash payment from
the military personnel appropriation account to
the military retirement trust fund; the NIPA'S use
total military retired pay as the measure of the retirement program's cost. At present, the budget
measure of the retirement program shows a decline because of a reduction in military payrolls,
but the NIPA series shows an increase because of
the rising number of retirees and higher benefits.

The $5.9 billion decline in defense purchases
in 1995 is primarily in procurement of military equipment. In contrast, the $13.2 billion
decline in 1994 reflects about-equal drops in compensation (military personnel, and civilians in
operation and maintenance) and in procurement
of military equipment.
The deficit for fiscal year 1995 on the NIPA
basis declines $41.7 billion. The NIPA deficit is
smaller than the budget deficit (chart 4) primarily because lending transactions and payments to
residents of U.S. territories and Puerto Rico are
removed from expenditures on the NIPA basis.
Quarterly pattern.—Quarterly estimates of NIPA
receipts and expenditures that are consistent with
the fiscal year receipts and outlays in the budget




are shown in table 10. Receipts reflect the quarterly pattern resulting from enacted and proposed
legislation that would increase personal, corporate, and excise taxes; they also reflect the
administration's projected quarterly pattern of
wages and profits. Expenditures reflect the quarterly pattern resulting from enacted and proposed
legislation that would reduce defense purchases,
adjust Federal pay, and provide for cost-of-living
increases in social security and in Federal employee retirement benefits. These NIPA estimates
do not reflect the recently enacted California
earthquake aid package.
The quarterly pattern of the NIPA deficit is
driven by sharp changes in receipts interacting
with relatively smooth changes in expenditures.
The deficit declines in the first quarter of 1994,
as contributions for social insurance rise because
of a social security base change in January 1994.
The deficit plummets in the second quarters of
both 1994 and 1995, reflecting surges in OBRA 93
personal tax collections for deferred 1993 tax payments. These personal tax liabilities, which were
retroactively imposed in 1993, can be spread without penalty over the 1993,1994, and 1995 tax years.
The deficit increases slightly in the third quarters
of 1994 and 1995, reflecting a return to normal
personal tax payment levels. It spikes downward
in the fourth quarter of 1994, reflecting the imposition of the tobacco tax, which has its peak
effect on receipts when it is levied on inventories and then has a smaller effect in subsequent
quarters as it applies only to new production.
The deficit declines in the first quarter of 1995,
as increased receipts for personal taxes and contributions for social insurance more than offset
the Federal pay increase (1.6-percent pay raise
and 1.2-percent locality differential) and social
security cost-of-living adjustments (3.0 percent).

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

February 1994

Gross Product of
U.S. Multinational Companies, 1977-91
By Raymond J. Mataloni, Jr. and Lee Goldberg
j HIS ARTICLE presents estimates of gross
JL product of nonbank U.S. multinational
companies (MNC'S) based on data collected in Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) benchmark and
annual surveys of U.S. direct investment abroad.
These estimates, in combination with other estimates based on data from BEA surveys, provide
insights into production by U.S. MNC'S.1 They
can be used, for example, to determine the shares
of U.S. and foreign economies that are accounted
for by U.S.-MNC production or to determine the
foreign content of U.S.-MNC output.
Gross product is an economic accounting
measure of the production of goods and services. For a firm, gross product can be measured
as its gross output (sales or receipts and other
operating income, plus inventory change) less
its intermediate inputs (purchased goods and
services); as such, gross product measures value
added by the firm. Alternatively, gross product
can be measured as the sum of costs incurred
(other than for intermediate inputs), and profits
earned, in production. The costs fall into four
major categories: Employee compensation, net
interest paid, indirect business taxes, and capital
consumption allowance.2 The estimates presented here were prepared by summing costs and
profits.
The gross product estimates for U.S. MNC'S, for
their parent companies, and for their majority1. It should be noted that the estimates of the gross product of U.S. MNC'S
are in current dollars; they are not adjusted for price changes or for changes in
foreign exchange rates, both of which affect the relationship between changes
in current-dollar gross product and changes in the real value of the goods
and services produced by U.S MNC'S.
2. In the U.S. national income and product accounts (NIPA'S), two
measures of depreciation, or capital consumption, are used: (1) Capital
consumption allowance (CCA) and (2) consumption of fixed capital. Capital
consumption allowance consists of depreciation charges, based largely on tax
returns, and allowances for accidental damage to fixed capital. Consumption
of fixed capital adds adjustments to CCA in order to place depreciation on an
economic basis (that is, using economic service lives, straight-line depreciation, and replacement-cost valuation). For majority-owned foreign affiliates,
the only measure of consumption of fixed capital available from BEA'S survey
data is the book value of depreciation, reported on a basis consistent with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Because it does not provide
for replacement-cost valuation, this measure is termed "capital consumption
allowance" in this article, although it reflects some of the adjustments that
determine the difference between the NIPA measures of CCA and consumption
of fixed capital. It should be noted that the basis for measuring depreciation
has no effect on the value of total gross product; any differences in the measures of depreciation, which is a cost of production, have equal and offsetting
effects on the profit-type-return component.




owned foreign affiliates (MOFA'S) are available for
the benchmark years 1977, 1982, and 1989; the
estimates for MOFA'S are also available for 1990
and 1991.3 4
The following are highlights of the estimates:
• Since 1977, there has been a modest shift
in U.S. multinational companies' production
away from foreign locations, with the foreign share of their total production declining
from 25 percent in 1977 to 23 percent in
1989. A decrease in the foreign share in
nonmanufacturing industries was partly offset by an increase in the foreign share in
manufacturing.
• The U.S-parent share of all-U.S.-business
gross domestic product (GDP) declined from
32 percent in 1977 to 26 percent in 1989.
Much of this decline reflected the concentration of U.S.-parent production in the slower
growing segments of the U.S. economy,
rather than a shift of U.S.-MNC production
from the United States to foreign countries.
3. The necessary data for calculating U.S.-parent, and thus total U.S.MNC, gross product are collected only in benchmark surveys. For MOFA'S,
most of the necessary data are also collected in the annual surveys conducted
in nonbenchmark years. Gross product estimates for minority-owned foreign
affiliates are not available because most of the data necessary to construct
them are not collected.
4. U.S.-MNC gross product estimates for 1977 were previously published in
"Gross Product of U.S. Multinational Companies, 1977," SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS 63 (February 1983): 24-29. Estimates for 1966 and 1970 appeared in
"Gross Product of Foreign Affiliates of U.S. Companies," SURVEY 57 (February
1977): 17-28.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
• Overall, U.S. parent companies did not increase their use of merchandise imports as
inputs. In both 1977 and 1989, the U.S.,
or "local," content of U.S. parents' output
was 94 percent. In manufacturing, however, the local content of parents' output
decreased modestly, from 96 percent in 1977
to 93 percent in 1989.
• In

1989,

the

profitability

of

MOFA'S—

measured as the percentage of gross product
that is accounted for by profit-type return—
was 27 percent, compared with 16 percent
for U.S. parents. The higher profitability
of MOFA'S partly reflected the fact that U.S.
MNC'S tend to limit their overseas operations
to those that are expected to earn aboveaverage profits in order to compensate for
the added risks of operating abroad.
• U.S. multinationals do not appear to have
shifted manufacturing operations to lowwage countries to any significant degree between 1977 and 1991. In both years, about
85 percent of MOFA gross product in manufacturing was accounted for by relatively
high-wage countries.
• For most host countries, the share of the
country's GDP that was accounted for by
MOFA production was larger than the share
of U.S. GDP that was accounted for by that
country's U.S. affiliates. For example, MOFA
gross product accounted for 7 percent of
British GDP in 1991, whereas the U.S. affiliates of British companies accounted for only
1 percent of U.S. GDP.
This article has three parts and a technical
note. The first part examines the gross product of U.S. MNC'S as a whole, and the other two

parts examine the gross product of U.S. parents
and of MOFA'S, respectively. Within these parts,
the structure of U.S.-MNC output, the share of
the U.S. economy accounted for by U.S. parents,
and the share of host economies accounted for
by MOFA'S are analyzed. The technical note discusses data sources, estimation procedures, and
definitional differences between the estimates of
U.S.-MNC gross product and the estimates of U.S.
GDP that appear in the national income and
product accounts (NIPA'S).
Tables 11 and 12, which follow the article,
present detailed gross product estimates for U.S.
MNC'S. Table 11 presents gross product of U.S.
MNC'S, by industry of U.S. parent, for 1977, 1982,
and 1989. Table 12 presents gross product of
MOFA'S, cross-classified by country and by major
industry of affiliate, for 1977, 1982, and 1989-91.

In 1977-89, total gross product of U.S. MNC'S grew
at an average annual rate of 6 percent, from $652

gross product grew at similar rates, 7 percent and

Key Terms
The following key terms are used to describe the members of U.S.
multinational companies.
U.S. multinational company (MNC): The U.S. parent and all of its foreign
affiliates. In this article, however, a U.S. MNC consists only of the U.S.
parent and its majority-owned foreign affiliates (MOFA'S).
U.S. parent: A person, resident in the United States, that owns or controls
10 percent or more of the voting securities, or the equivalent, of a foreign
business enterprise. "Person" is broadly defined to include any individual, branch, partnership, associated group, association, estate, trust,
corporation or other organization (whether or not organized under the
laws of any State), or any government entity. If incorporated, the U.S.
parent is the fully consolidated U.S. enterprise consisting of (1) the U.S.
corporation whose voting securities are not owned more than 50 percent
by another U.S. corporation, and (2) proceeding down each ownership
chain from that U.S. corporation, any U.S. corporation (including Foreign Sales Corporations located within the United States) whose voting
securities are more than 50 percent owned by the U.S. corporation above
it. A U.S. parent comprises the domestic (U.S.) operations of a U.S.
MNC.

Foreign affiliate: A foreign business enterprise in which there is U.S. direct
investment, that is, in which a U.S. person owns or controls 10 percent
or more of the voting securities or the equivalent. Affiliates comprise
the foreign operations of a U.S. MNC.
Majority-owned foreign affiliate (MOFA): A foreign affiliate in which the
combined ownership of all U.S. parents exceeds 50 percent.
Nonbank: An entity (MNC, parent, or affiliate) whose primary activity is
not banking. Only nonbanks are covered by this article.

6 percent, respectively (table 1). By comparison,
total private U.S. GDP in current dollars grew
at an average annual rate of 9 percent. As discussed later, some of this difference resulted from
differences between U.S. MNC'S and all U.S. businesses in the industry composition of their gross
product.
Between 1977 and 1989, there was a modest
shift in U.S.-MNC production away from foreign

locations, with the MOFA share of their total production declining from 25 percent in 1977 to 23
percent in 1989. The shift, however, was concentrated in nonmanufacturing industries—mainly
petroleum and transportation. In petroleum, the
MOFA share of U.S.-MNC production fell from
54 percent to 44 percent, partly reflecting the
gradual transfer of MOFA facilities in the Middle East to local investors. In transportation,

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

February 1994

the MOFA share decreased from 8 percent to 2
percent, partly reflecting the entrance into the
U.S.-MNC universe in the late 1980^ of a few
U.S. companies, mainly airlines, whose longestablished domestic operations were much larger
than their newly established foreign operations.
In manufacturing, by contrast, the MOFA share
of U.S.-MNC production increased from 21 to 26
percent, partly reflecting faster growth in foreign
sales than in domestic sales by these U.S. MNC'S.

percent, from 1977 to 1989. However, there were
a number of offsetting changes among major
industry groups. In manufacturing, the U.S. parents' share declined 3 percentage points, partly
reflecting faster growth in foreign sales than in
domestic sales. This decline was offset by increases in the U.S. parents' share in petroleum,
wholesale trade, services, and "other" industries.

Structure of output

Gross product of U.S. parents was $1,045 billion in 1989. It accounted for 26 percent of
all-U.S.-business GDP, down from 32 percent in
1977 (table 3).5 6 Much of this decline reflected
the relatively high concentration of U.S. parents
in slower growing segments of the economy, such
as "petroleum extraction and refining" and manufacturing. In 1989, "petroleum extraction and
refining" accounted for 8 percent of U.S.-parent
gross product, but for only 2 percent of all-U.S.business GDP; manufacturing accounted for 56
percent of U.S.-parent gross product, but for only
24 percent of all-U.S.-business GDP (chart 1).7 8

When compared with total U.S.-MNC output,
gross product provides insight into the production methods of U.S. MNC'S. U.S.-MNC output
is equal to sales to unaffiliated persons plus inventory change; alternatively, it can be defined as
the gross product of U.S. MNC'S plus their purchases from outsiders. Two ratios are particularly
useful for examining the structure of output of
U.S. MNC'S. The ratio of U.S.-MNC gross product to U.S.-MNC output measures the extent to
which output by U.S. MNC'S reflects their own
production rather than that of outside suppliers
(table 2, column 8). A second ratio, U.S.-parent
gross product as a share of total U.S.-MNC output,
measures the extent to which U.S. MNC'S produce
in the United States rather than purchasing from
outsiders or producing through MOFA'S (table 2,
column 9).
Overall, the structure of U.S.-MNC output
changed little from 1977 to 1989. The grossproduct share of U.S.-MNC output decreased 2
percentage points, to 36 percent, as U.S. parents, but not MOFA'S, increased their reliance
on outside suppliers for intermediate goods
and services.
Similar changes occurred in
manufacturing.
Overall, the U.S. parents' gross-product share
of total U.S. MNC output was unchanged, at 28

U.S. Parents

5. For this analysis, the estimates of all-U.S.-business GDP exclude the
segments of the U.S. economy in which nonbank parents do not (or cannot)
have a presence—including banks, government and government enterprises,
and private households. (See footnote 1 to table 3 for additional details.)
6. At the all-industries level, the estimates of U.S.-parent gross product
are generally consistent with the estimates of U.S. GDP in the NIPA'S (see the
technical note). For individual industries, however, inconsistencies may result
from differences in the basis for the industrial distribution of the estimates.
All-U.S.-business GDP is distributed among industries based on the principal
product or service of each establishment, or plant, whereas U.S.-parent gross
product is distributed on an enterprise, or company, basis, with each U.S.
parent classified on the basis of the principal industry of all its establishments
combined. Because establishments of a large company may be classified in
different industries, distributions of data by industry of establishment and by
industry of enterprise can differ significantly, particularly in the case of data
that are highly disaggregated. In this article, U.S.-parent gross product as a
share of all-U.S.-business GDP is computed only at the highly aggregated level
shown in table 3.
7. For these comparisons, petroleum and coal product manufacturing is
excluded from "manufacturing" and included in "petroleum extraction and
refining."
8. Changes in the industrial composition of current-dollar GDP may reflect changes in relative prices as well as changes in the composition of the

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

February 1994

The growth in gross product by U.S. parents was
further depressed by their relatively low concentration in services, a faster growing segment of
the economy. Services accounted for 5 percent
of U.S.-parent gross product in 1989, compared
with 23 percent of all-U.S.-business GDP.
Gross product by component
Table 4 shows U.S.-parent gross product in 1977,
1982, and 1989 by major industry, disaggregated
into the five components of costs and profits.
In 1989, in all industries combined, employee
compensation accounted for 64 percent of U.S.parent gross product, profit-type return for 16
percent, net interest paid for 3 percent, indirect business taxes for 6 percent, and capital
consumption allowances for 12 percent.
In manufacturing and wholesale trade, the
component shares of gross product closely mirrored the average component shares of gross
product for all industries. However, in petroleum, services, "finance (except banking), insurance, and real estate" (FIRE), and "other"
industries, component shares differed considerably from the all-industries averages. In petroleum, employee compensation accounted for a
lower-than-average share of U.S.-parent gross
product, and indirect business taxes and capital
goods and services produced. For details, see "Gross Product by Industry,
1977-90," SURVEY 73 (May 1993): 36-37.




Gross

consumption allowances accounted for higherthan-average shares. These differences reflect the
capital-intensive nature of petroleum extraction
and refining and the relatively high level of excise taxes on petroleum products. In services, the
employee-compensation share was higher than
average, reflecting the labor-intensive nature of
many types of services. In FIRE, the employeecompensation and profit-type-return shares were
higher than average, and in "other" industries,
the capital-consumption-allowances share was
higher than average.
Structure of output
This section examines changes in the structure of
U.S.-parent output from 1977 to 1989. Changes
in the gross-product share of U.S.-parent output
will be examined first, followed by an examination of changes in the local content of U.S.-parent
output. It should be noted that from the perspective of a U.S. parent, unlike that of the worldwide
U.S. MNC, total purchases (shown in table 5,
column 5) includes purchases from foreign affiliates as well as from unaffiliated U.S. and foreign
persons.
In all industries combined, the gross-product
share of U.S.-parent output edged down from 34
percent in 1977 to 33 percent in 1989. In manufacturing, the gross-product share declined from
40 percent to 38 percent, as the shares of output accounted for by both imports from foreign

affiliates and purchases from outside the MNC
increased.
Among manufacturing industries, the largest
decreases in the gross-product share of U.S.parent output were in nonelectrical machinery
(mainly computers), down 11 percentage points;
transportation equipment (mainly automobiles),
down 10 percentage points; and electric and electronic equipment, down 4 percentage points.
In these industries, the movement by U.S. parents away from internal production and toward
greater reliance on outside suppliers may have
been in response to increased global competition; to improve their competitiveness, parents
may have sought to specialize in areas in which
they had an advantage and to allocate other
functions to foreign affiliates and to companies

February 1994

outside the MNC. The largest increase in the grossproduct share of U.S.-parent output was in food
manufacturing, up 6 percentage points.9
The local (U.S.) content of U.S.-parents'
output—the portion of their output accounted
for by their own production and by inputs
9. It should be noted that changes in the gross-product share of U.S.parent output in a particular manufacturing industry may reflect changes in
the U.S. parents' industry composition in addition to actual changes in the
structure of U.S.-parent output. As mentioned earlier, the U.S.-parent data
are on an enterprise basis; thus, the totals for a particular industry cover
both the parents' activities in their primary industry and in their secondary
industries. As a result, changes in the gross-product share of output in a
particular industry may reflect changes in the composition of the secondary
activities of the U.S. parents classified in that industry rather than a tendency
for U.S. parents to produce more or less of what they sell in a particular
industry. For example, if a U.S. parent classified in wholesale trade (where the
ratio of gross product to output is relatively low) ventures into a secondary
industry like pharmaceutical manufacturing (where the ratio of gross product
to output is relatively high), its gross-product share will rise, even if the
purchasing patterns in its primary industry do not change.

3. The local content of output is overstated to the extent that "other" purchases (column 9) include imported
services and that imported merchandise and services are embodied in purchases from domestic suppliers. (These
items were not reported separately and thus could not be identified and included in foreign content.)

February 1994

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
In manufacturing, the local content of output
decreased modestly, from 96 percent in 1977 to
93 percent in 1989. This decrease reflected the
substitution of merchandise imports for products
that U.S. parents formerly produced themselves.
The gross-product share of U.S.-parent output
(table 5, column 11) fell 2 percentage points,
and the U.S.-import share of U.S.-parent output (table 5, column 6 divided by column 3)
increased by a like amount. This decrease in
local content appears to have occurred among
other U.S. manufacturing companies as well;
the share of U.S. gross domestic purchases of
goods accounted for by U.S. merchandise imports
shipped to companies other than U.S. parents increased from 8 percent in 1977 to 13 percent in
1989.
Judging from the patterns of trade between
U.S. parents and MOFA'S, this decrease in local content primarily reflected increased imports
from high-wage countries (such as Canada and

used (table 5, column 9) is overstated because merchandise imports (table 5,
column 6) includes only the direct merchandise imports of U.S. parents and
therefore excludes any imports embodied in purchases from domestic suppliers. Second, merchandise imports are reported on the basis of when, where,
and to whom the goods were shipped. Most U.S. parents account for sales on
the basis of when, where, and to whom the goods were charged. Thus, the
derived data on output (the denominator of the local content ratio) are on a
"charged" basis and are not completely comparable to the import data used
in deriving the numerator. Third, "other" purchases are overstated because
they include purchases of services from foreigners, which are not reported
separately and thus could not be subtracted from total purchases.

Japan).11 n It does not, therefore, appear to have
been primarily a reflection of U.S. parents shifting their production of goods for the U.S. market
to low-wage countries. Thirty-seven percent of
the increase in imports shipped by MOFA'S to U.S.
parents came from low-wage countries.
MOFA'S

Country and industry trends
In this section, trends in the gross product of
MOFA'S are examined using estimates from BEA'S
annual surveys for 1990 and 1991 and from its
benchmark surveys for 1977, 1982, and 1989.
Gross product by MOFA'S in all industries combined was $356 billion in 1991. MOFA'S in manufacturing accounted for $182 billion, or just over
one-half of the total (chart 2). MOFA'S in petroleum accounted for one-quarter of the total, and
MOFA'S in wholesale trade for about one-eighth.
From 1977 to 1991, the share of MOFA gross product in petroleum shrank from 38 percent to 25
11. Data on imports shipped by unaffiliated foreigners to U.S. parents are
not available for individual countries.
12. The distinction between "high-wage" and "low-wage" countries is
based on the 1989 estimates of average hourly wages of production workers of MOFA'S in the 26 countries that hosted at least 10,000 employees of
manufacturing MOFA'S in that year. A country was classified as "low wage"
if the average hourly compensation of production workers in manufacturing
MOFA'S was below the MOFA average or as "high wage" if the compensation
was above the MOFA average.
The estimates are derived from data collected in the 1989 benchmark
survey of U.S. direct investment abroad. For details, see "U.S. Multinational
Companies: Operations in 1991," SURVEY 73 (July 1993): 47-48.

percent, and the share in manufacturing rose
from 44 percent to 51 percent.
Most of MOFA gross product originated in the
major industrialized countries, MOFA'S in Europe accounted for $218 billion, or 61 percent,
of the worldwide total (table 6 and chart 3).
Among countries, the United Kingdom was the
biggest single host of affiliate production, with
$59 billion in gross product, or 17 percent of the
total, followed by MOFA'S in Germany (14 percent), Canada (13 percent), France (8 percent),
Italy (6 percent), and Japan (5 percent).
Outside the principal industrial economies,
MOFA'S in Brazil and Mexico accounted for the
largest shares of gross product—between 2 and 3
percent each. Despite the increasing importance
of the newly industrialized countries of the Asia
and Pacific region to the U.S. economy, MOFA'S
in the rapidly growing economies of this region
still accounted for a relatively small share of total

MOFA gross product, MOFA'S in Indonesia, Singapore, and Hong Kong had the largest shares, but
each country's share was only about 1 percent of
the worldwide total.

Trends in the geographic location of the foreign manufacturing operations of U.S. MNC'S
do not appear to have been related primarily
to differences in labor costs among countries.
Of countries with large MOFA employment, the
share of MOFA manufacturing gross product for
"low-wage" host countries rose slightly, from
15 percent in 1977 to 16 percent in 1991, while
the share for "high-wage" countries decreased
slightly, from 85 percent to 84 percent.
The most notable changes in the geographic
distribution of MOFA gross product since 1977
were an increase in the share of the total accounted for by MOFA'S in Europe and a decrease
in the share of MOFA'S in the Middle East.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
European affiliates accounted for threequarters of the total increase in MOFA gross
product between 1977 and 1991; affiliates in the
Asia and Pacific region accounted for most of the
remainder. In Europe, MOFA gross product grew
at an average annual rate of 9 percent from 1977
to 1991; this high growth rate (compared with
6 percent in all countries combined) was about
in line with the growth in nominal demand in
Europe. European affiliates' share of total MOFA
gross product rose from 43 percent in 1977 to
61 percent in 1991. Among the factors that may
have contributed to this increase were the expansion of the European Communities (EC) and the
movement toward closer economic integration.
Economic integration stimulated overall growth
in demand; in addition, it offered potential foreign investors a means of accessing a large and
increasingly important market on the same terms
as local firms, without having to establish production facilities in each country. By locating
operations within the EC, a U.S. firm could avoid
actual or potential tariffs or other trade barriers
applied to nonmember countries.
Some of the rise in MOFA gross product in the
EC was due to the rapid growth of MOFA'S in
countries that have smaller economies, such as
Spain (which joined the EC in 1986); however,
the leading factor was the growth of MOFA'S in
countries in which U.S. affiliates had long been
established, particularly the United Kingdom and
Germany. In the United Kingdom, MOFA gross

February 1994

product more than tripled from 1977 to 1991,
growing at an average annual rate of 9 percent
and accounting for over one-fifth of the worldwide increase in gross product. In Germany,
MOFA gross product almost tripled, growing at an
average annual rate of 7 percent.
The share of worldwide MOFA gross product
accounted for by affiliates in the Middle East fell
from 14 percent in 1977 to 1 percent in 1991. This
sharp decline mainly reflected falling oil prices
in the 1980's and the measures taken by the
petroleum exporting countries in the Middle East
to increase their own involvement in extraction
and refining and to reduce that of foreign-owned
firms in the region. Faced with these unfavorable developments, oil companies in the 1980^
tended to shift their operations from the Middle
East to Europe (mainly the North Sea area) and
the Pacific (particularly Australia, Malaysia, and
Thailand).
Developments in the oil industry, including a
sharp fall in oil prices beginning in 1986 and the
sell-off of two large affiliates, also contributed to
the decline in Canadian affiliates' share of gross
product from 17 percent in 1977 to 13 percent
in 1991. However, the decline in Canada primarily reflected sluggish growth in production
in manufacturing industries. From 1977 to 1991,
the average annual rate of growth in the gross
product of Canadian manufacturing affiliates was
less than one-half that of manufacturing affiliates
in all countries combined—3 percent, compared

with 7 percent; growth slowed for Canadian affiliates in each of the major industries within
manufacturing, as well as in all manufacturing
industries combined.
Share of host-country GDP
MOFA gross product accounted for only a small

share of the GDP of most host countries. Based
on World Bank estimates of foreign-country GDP,
in 1991, U.S.-MOFA gross product represented 5
percent or less of host-country GDP in all but
five countries: Ireland (14 percent), Canada (9
percent), Singapore (8 percent), United Kingdom
(7 percent), and Nigeria (7 percent) (table 7).13
By comparison, nonbank U.S. affiliates of foreign
companies for all countries combined accounted
for 6 percent of U.S. GDP in 1991; affiliates of
the country with the largest share, the United
Kingdom, accounted for 1 percent of U.S. GDP,
and affiliates of Japan and Canada each accounted
for 0.7 percent.
The six largest host economies—Japan, Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and
Canada—together accounted for 62 percent of
MOFA gross product in 1991. Among these countries, the MOFA share of host country GDP was
largest in Canada (9 percent) and smallest in
Japan (0.5 percent).
Canada's large share reflects several factors:
Canada's proximity to the United States; its
use of the English language; the integration of
its automotive, energy, and mineral industries
with their U.S. counterparts; and the similarity of U.S. and Canadian technology and tastes.
Likewise, the United Kingdom's large share reflects the traditionally close ties between U.S. and
British business, which are facilitated by a common language and similar tastes, technology, and
regulatory environments.
Among other major industrial countries, Japan,
Germany, and France had relatively small shares.
Japan's particularly small share (0.5 percent) may
reflect several factors: Past Japanese restrictions
on foreign investment, informal barriers associated with extensive interlocking stock ownership




13. World Bank, World Development Report 1993 (New York: Oxford University Press, 1993): 242-43. These estimates of GDP were obtained from
national sources and are expressed in U.S. dollars.
It should be noted that the MOFA gross product estimates are not strictly
comparable with the World Bank statistics because the latter cover banking,
government, and other segments of the economy in which nonbank MOFA'S
do not (or cannot) have operations. Comparability may also be affected by
coverage problems or by the use of statistical methods and definitions that
differ in some respects from those used in deriving the gross product estimates
for MOFA'S or that differ from one country to another. (The international
System of National Accounts provides guidelines that may alleviate these
comparability problems if more countries move into conformity with them.)
Thus, the computed MOFA shares of host-country GDP probably provide only
a rough indication of the MOFA shares of various host economies.

among major Japanese corporations (which tend
to inhibit foreign investment), close ties between
business and government, and a business culture that prizes long-term relationships and is
averse to buyouts and takeovers. Germany's
low share (3 percent) may reflect similar patterns of cross ownership among large German
manufacturing concerns and financial institutions. As in Japan's case, France's share (2
percent) may reflect historic restrictions on foreign investment and government ownership and
other intervention in significant areas of the
economy.
The high share for Ireland probably reflects the
relatively small size of its economy, its proximity
to the EC, and its considerable efforts to attract
foreign direct investment. Several of the other
countries with shares of at least 4 percent also
have relatively small economies and are situated
near a large market.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Gross product by component
Table 8 shows MOFA gross product in 1977, 1982,
1989, and 1991 by major area and industry, disaggregated into the five components. In 1989,
profit-type return accounted for a higher portion of gross product for MOFA'S than it did for
U.S. parents—27 percent, compared with 16 percent). The share of gross product accounted for
by indirect business taxes was also higher for
MOFA'S (25 percent, compared with 6 percent).

53

In contrast, the share accounted for by employee
compensation was lower for MOFA'S (41 percent,
compared with 64 percent). To some extent,
the higher profit-type-return share for MOFA'S
probably reflects the higher rate of return on
invested capital for foreign operations than for
U.S. operations; U.S. MNC'S tend to limit their
overseas operations to those that are expected to

the possibility of changes in the regulatory or
policy environment.14
The higher share of indirect business taxes for
MOFA'S may partly reflect the fact that the taxes
on petroleum products imposed by many foreign governments are higher than those imposed
by the U.S. Government. In 1989, the indirectbusiness-taxes share of gross product for MOFA'S
in petroleum was 58 percent, whereas it was only
24 percent for U.S. parents in this industry.
The factors underlying the differences in
the profit-type-return and indirect-business-taxes
shares between MOFA'S and U.S. parents may
also underlie the differences in the employeecompensation shares, because a higher (lower)
share for one component necessarily means a
lower (higher) share for other components. In
addition, the employee-compensation share may
be more directly affected by the tendency of
MOFA'S to be in less labor-intensive industries.
For example, 25 percent of MOFA gross product
was in petroleum, an industry with relatively low
labor intensity, whereas only 9 percent of U.S.
parent gross product was in this industry. The
employee-compensation share for MOFA'S may
also tend to be lower because average hourly wage
rates in many countries where MOFA'S operate are
lower than those in the United States.
Among the four major regions that accounted
for 97 percent of MOFA gross product in 1991—
Canada, Europe, Latin America and Other
Western Hemisphere, and Asia and Pacific—
the employee-compensation share of MOFA gross
product was highest in Canada (60 percent), followed by Europe (45 percent), Latin America
and Other Western Hemisphere (40 percent),
and Asia and Pacific (38 percent). In contrast,
the profit-type-return share of gross product
was lowest in Canada (11 percent) and Europe
(18 percent) and highest in Latin America and
Other Western Hemisphere (33 percent) and Asia
and Pacific (30 percent). Canada's employeecompensation share was unusually high in 1991,
and its profit-type-return share unusually low.
This unusual distribution may have reflected the
country's economic recession; in other years,
Canada's distribution was more in line with that
of other major areas.15

14. For additional discussion, see "Rates of Return on Direct Investment,"
SURVEY 72 (August 1992): 79-86.
15. Cyclical downturns tend to depress profits more than payroll because many firms tend to maintain their labor force and wage structure in
anticipation of an eventual upturn.




Structure of output
This section examines the changes in the grossproduct share of MOFA output and the changes
in the U.S. content of MOFA output from 1977
to 1991. In all industries combined, the grossproduct share of MOFA output decreased from
31 percent to 29 percent (table 9). By area, the
largest decreases were in Asia and Pacific and in
Canada.
In manufacturing, the gross-product share of
MOFA output decreased from 36 percent to 31
percent, as the portion of output accounted
for by purchases from other foreign persons
(table 9, column 13) increased. Among manufacturing industries, the largest decreases in the
gross-product share of MOFA output were in nonelectrical machinery (mainly computers) and in
electric and electronic equipment.
In all industries combined, the U.S. content
of MOFA output—that portion of MOFA output
represented by purchases from U.S. parents and
other U.S. sources—rose from 7 percent to 9 percent. By area, the largest increases in U.S. content
were in Latin America and in Asia and Pacific.
In Latin America (primarily Mexico), the U.S.
content more than doubled, from 6 percent to
14 percent. This increase largely reflected rising
U.S. merchandise exports to MOFA'S participating in the Mexican Government's maquiladora
program.16 Consequently, much of the increase
in U.S. content represented unfinished goods that
ultimately returned to the United States after further processing or assembly in Mexico.17 In Asia
and Pacific (primarily Japan), the U.S. content
rose from 7 percent in 1977 to 10 percent in 1991.
Much of this increase reflected U.S. parents' exports of finished goods to MOFA'S engaged in
wholesale trade.
In manufacturing, the U.S. content of MOFA
output edged down from 13 percent in 1977 to 12
percent in 1991. The changes in all of the major manufacturing industries except electric and
electronic equipment were equally modest. In
electric and electronic equipment, the U.S. content increased substantially, from 12 percent to
19 percent, partly reflecting an increase in ship16. Under this program, U.S. producers can export components free of
customs duties to Mexican affiliates for assembly if a certain percentage of
the finished goods are exported back to the United States. U.S. duties are
levied only on the value added in Mexico.
17. The increase in the U.S. content of Mexican affiliates' output may be
somewhat overstated because of differences between the valuation of MOFA
sales and the valuation of U.S. exports shipped to MOFA'S. U.S. exports
shipped to MOFA'S measure the goods' full market value; in contrast, sales by
some MOFA'S participating in the maquiladora program measure only the fees
paid to the affiliates for processing or assembling the goods (thus excluding
the value of inputs received from the U.S. parents).

of the years. For both U.S. parents and MOFA'S,
imputed interest received and paid had to be estimated for all years; these items do not represent
actual transactions, so data on them cannot be
collected. For MOFA'S, monetary interest received
and paid also had to be estimated for the two
nonbenchmark years, 1990 and 1991.
In constructing table 5 (structure of output for
U.S. parents), the "inventory change" component
had to be estimated for 1982 and 1989 because
opening balances for inventories for those years
were not collected. These estimates were derived
using data from the Census Bureau's Quarterly
Financial Report, which covers all U.S. businesses.

for U.S. parents and MOFA'S are based on universe
data from BEA'S benchmark surveys of U.S. direct investment abroad. The first three columns
of table 10 present the U.S. MNC, U.S. parent,
and MOFA estimates of gross product components
from the 1989 benchmark survey; the next two
columns indicate the location of the estimates in
U.S. Direct Investment Abroad: 1989 Benchmark
Survey, Final Results (U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, DC: October 1992). MOFA
gross product estimates for 1990 and 1991 are
mainly based on universe estimates derived from
sample data from BEA'S annual surveys of U.S.
direct investment abroad.

Definitional differences between U.S.-MNC and
NIPA gross product components
In general, the MNC gross product components
are conceptually consistent with the corresponding NIPA components. The last column of table 10
highlights definitional differences between MNC
and NIPA gross product components. The net effect of these differences is negligible because their
individual effects are largely offsetting and because each one is quite small in relation to total

Estimation
Most of the data required to estimate U.S.-MNC
gross product were collected in the BEA surveys,
but data for several items were not collected;
these items had to be estimated for some or all

GDP.

2. Data on subsidies received by U.S. parent companies were not collected in the 1989 benchmark survey. Subsidies are assumed to be zero because few U.S. parents were in industries that receive most of the subsidies in
the United States.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

February 1994

New Estimates of Monthly U.S. International Services Transactions
IN MARCH, the Bureau of Economic Analysis is introducing
monthly estimates of U.S. international services transactions in
a joint news release with the Bureau of the Census. (For the
schedule of this release for upcoming months, see the outside
back cover.) The combination of the new services estimates
and the existing merchandise estimates provides a more complete picture of U.S. international trade. The development of the
monthly measure of services responds to the increased emphasis
placed on services by economic analysts and policymakers and
the need to have more timely measures of service activity.

Data improvements
The introduction of services estimates on a monthly basis is another step in BEA'S continuing effort to improve its estimates
of services. Among the improvements BEA has made over the
last decade in its quarterly and annual estimates of U.S. international services transactions are the expansion of its quarterly
and annual surveys to include 26 categories of services not previously covered, the development of estimates of cross-border
trade in services and on sales of services through affiliates, and
the expansion of coverage of travel and tourism through the joint
efforts of BEA and the U.S. Travel and Tourism Administration
(USTTA).

Source data
Table 1 identifies the principal source data used to prepare the
annual, quarterly, and monthly services estimates. The level of
detail at which the monthly estimates will be released, shown
in the left-hand column, is identical to that shown in table 1 of
the U.S. international transactions accounts, which appear in the
March, June, September, and December issues of the SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS.1

BEA'S annual estimates are based mainly on annual and benchmark BEA surveys covering the following types of services: Sales
and purchases of services between U.S. companies and their
foreign affiliates; international air and water transportation;
construction, engineering, architectural, and mining services;
royalties, license fees, and other receipts and payments for intangible property rights; insurance and reinsurance; institutional
remittances; and business, professional, and technical services.
Other important data sources include the following: Census
Bureau surveys of merchandise trade, supplemented with detail by mode of transport; USTTA surveys; Immigration and
1. For detailed estimates of U.S. international cross-border transactions and sales by
affiliates—by type, area, and country—see "U.S. International Sales and Purchases of Private
Services," SURVEY 73 (September 1993): 120-156.




Naturalization Service data; U.S. Treasury Department international capital movements data; data supplied by other U.S.
Government agencies on their international transactions; and
an assortment of data from published commercial sources, foreign central statistical offices, foreign central banks, and trade
associations.
BEA'S quarterly estimates are based on a combination of quarterly BEA surveys, quarterly (and monthly) data from other U.S.
Government agencies, quarterly (and monthly) data from foreign central statistical offices and banks, and publicly available
data from secondary sources, BEA'S quarterly surveys provide
data on affiliated services, affiliated royalties and fees, and transportation. The source data from other U.S. Government agencies
include travel, passenger fares, other transportation, financial activity in securities, and U.S. Government services. The secondary
source data used include exchange rates, average commission
rates and fees, U.S. and foreign prices, and educational enrollment; in addition, partial data include areas such as reinsurance
and transportation.
BEA'S monthly estimates are based on a combination of
monthly indicator data, partial monthly data from U.S. Government agencies, partial monthly data from foreign central
statistical offices and banks, and other secondary source data.
For "other transportation," as an example, the monthly indicators used to prepare the estimates include monthly merchandise
exports and imports (provided by the Census Bureau), passenger
enplanements, and jet fuel prices. The monthly data from other
statistical agencies and banks include partial bilateral travel data
from Canada and Mexico. The other secondary source data include average commission rates and fees (which are applied to
monthly data on foreign securities transactions), exchange rates,
prices, and selected data for transportation and other services
industries.
Revision cycle
In each month's release, a preliminary services estimate will be
published for the current month, along with a revised estimate
for the preceding month. After the revised estimate for a month
is released, there will be no further changes for that month until the quarterly BEA estimates of international transactions are
released. The first monthly release following a quarterly international transactions release will contain revised estimates of
services for the previous 6 months, as the monthly estimates are
aligned with the quarterly estimates. Annual revisions for the
months and quarters will be made in June.

1.1 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS (publication). A monthly journal containing
estimates and analyses of U.S. economic activity. Most of BEA'S work is presented
in the SURVEY, either in full or in summary form. Includes the "Business Situation"—a review of current economic developments—and regular and special articles
pertaining to the national, regional, and international economic accounts and related
topics. Among the special articles that appeared in 1993 were "Evaluation of the GDP
Estimates," "Gross Product by Industry, 1988-91," "Gross State Product, 1977-90,"
and "Alternative Frameworks for U.S. International Transactions." Current quarterly
estimates of the national income and product accounts (see program description 2.0)
appear every month.
The SURVEY also contains two statistical sections that present an array of economic
data from public and private sources. The Business Cycle Indicators section consists

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
Economics

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. Estimates of gross product originating (GPO) by industry are
prepared annually in current and constant dollars. 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 5.0.)
The estimates of GDP are prepared each quarter in the following sequence: Advance
estimates are released near the end of the first month after the end of the quarter;
as more detailed and comprehensive data become available, preliminary and final
estimates are released near the end of the second and third months, respectively.
Monthly estimates of personal income and outlays are released near the end of the
month following the reference month; estimates for the two to four most recent
months are revised at that time. Ordinarily, annual NIPA revisions are carried out
each summer and cover the months and quarters of the most recent calendar year and
the preceding 2 years. (For example, the August 1993 revision covered 1990, 1991, and
1992.) These revisions are timed to incorporate newly available major annual source
data. Comprehensive (benchmark) revisions are carried out at about 5-year intervals
(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 NIPA tables (132 tables)
usually is published at the time of annual revisions. Annual estimates of the fixed
capital stock are reported shortly thereafter.

National income
and product
accounts

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,

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 August 1993 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 summer 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 1992 and
August 1993 issues of the SURVEY. The major methodological changes introduced in
the most recent comprehensive revision are listed on pages 38-39 of the December
1991 SURVEY.

Government
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 or March SURVEY. For further information, write
to the Government Division, BE-57, Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department

models that BEA used, prior to the latest comprehensive revision of the NIPA'S, to
estimate the cyclically adjusted Federal budget and inflation-induced changes in the
cyclically adjusted budget. The quarterly data for the variables in the models and the
regression equations underlying the coefficients are presented. The paper also discusses the cyclical adjustment of Federal debt and shows some results. NOTE.—The
procedures described in this staff paper have not been updated to reflect the 1991
comprehensive revision of the NIPA'S; publication of the estimates in the SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS has been suspended pending this update. (1986) Available from
NTIS: Accession No. PB 87-157376, price $27.00.

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 tables are for 1982. (Benchmark tables for 1987 will be forthcoming in
spring 1994.) 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 benchmark 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 85industry level; more detailed tables are also available. For further information, write

Environmental
estimates




5.0 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 total expenditures (including capital and
operating spending) appeared in May 1993. For further information, write to the
Environmental Economics Division, BE-62, Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230, or call (202) 606-5350. For specific

Regional
Economics

6.1 BEA Reports: Regional Reports (EBB, EBB/FAX, 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. 1.4). (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; see entry 7.2.) The news releases are also available
by fax through EBB/FAX (see entry no. 1.5). 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.
7.0 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. 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.

ASCII files that can be accessed in either sequential or random mode. The CD-ROM
includes a REIS program that allows the user to display, print, or copy one or more

International
Economics

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
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.

9.1 BEA Reports: International Reports (EBB, EBB/FAX, news release). Reports
(usually 9 a year) with summary estimates 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. 1.4) and by fax through EBB/FAX
(see entry no. 1.5). 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 $18.00 per year.

U.S. international
transactions




10.0 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

11.0 BEA conducts quarterly, annual, and benchmark surveys of U.S. direct investment abroad and of foreign direct investment in the United States. The information
collected relates to the direct investment position and flows of capital, income, royalties and license fees, and other service charges between parent companies and affiliates;
capital expenditures by majority-owned foreign affiliates of U.S. companies; the financial structure and operations of U.S. parent companies and their foreign affiliates;
the financial structure and operations of U.S. affiliates of foreign companies; and U.S.
business enterprises acquired or established by foreign direct investors. Summary
information on the quarterly and annual surveys usually appears in the SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS on the following schedule:

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Foreign direct investment in the United States:
• The position and balance of payments flows, in June, with additional detail in
August. (In 1993, the additional detail was published in July.)
• Operations of U.S. affiliates of foreign companies, in May (or subsequent months).
• U.S. business enterprises acquired or established by foreign direct investors, in
May.
U.S. direct investment abroad:
• The position and balance of payments flows, in June, with additional detail in
August. (In 1993, the additional detail was published in July.)
• Operations of U.S. parent companies and their foreign affiliates, in June (or
subsequent months).
• Capital expenditures by majority-owned foreign affiliates of U.S. companies, in
March and September.
BEA'S data on direct investment are collected and published at the enterprise (company) level. In 1992, highly detailed establishment (plant) level data on foreign direct
investment in the United States, which complement BEA'S enterprise data, became
available for the first time as a result of a joint project between BEA and the Bureau
of the Census. A volume containing data on the number, employment, payroll, and
shipments or sales of foreign-owned U.S. establishments was published in June 1992
(see entry no. 11.3), and an article analyzing the data appeared in the October 1992
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. Expanded information for 1989-90 for manufacturing
establishments, including most of the items covered by the Census Bureau's annual
survey of manufactures, was published in August and September 1993, followed by an
article in the January 1994 SURVEY analyzing the results.
The information BEA provides on U.S. international sales and purchases of services covers cross-border (balance of payments) services transactions, sales of services
abroad by nonbank majority-owned foreign affiliates of U.S. companies, and sales of
services in the United States by nonbank majority-owned U.S. affiliates of foreign
companies. The information on cross-border services transactions is derived from a
variety of sources, including BEA surveys, surveys of other Government agencies, and
non-Government sources. The information on sales of services by affiliates is obtained
from BEA'S benchmark and annual direct investment surveys. Since 1990, the data
on international services have been published in a detailed and unified format in the
September issue of the SURVEY.
For further information on direct investment and international services, write
to the International Investment Division, BE-50, Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S.
Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230, or call (202) 606-9800. For specific

BE A also prepares compilations of public and private data for use in measuring, analyzing, and forecasting economic developments. These include a system of business
cycle indicators and a set of business statistics covering general economic activities
and specific industries.

Other Tools for
Economic
Analysis

12.0 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, call (202) 606-5366, or send a facsimile to (202)
606-5313. A recorded telephone message at (202) 606-5361 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.

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.
X Cyclical indicator series denoted by X 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 t 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 "Business Cycle Indicators: Upcoming Revision of the Composite Indexes" in the October
1993 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS and 'The Composite Index of Coincident Indicators and Alternative Coincident Indexes" in the June 1992 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 in the expansion following the last reference cycle trough (March 1991) 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-50 and C-51 in the November 1993 SURVEY.

@ Wages as of February 1,1994: Common, $20.37; Skilled, $26.44.
t Earnings in 1982 dollars reflect changes in purchasing power since 1982 by dividing by Consumer
Price Index.
§ Seasonally adjusted average weekly earnings per worker in 1982 dollars has been revised to
reflect the revision in the Consumer Price Index used as a deflator.
t Excludes farm, household, and Federal workers.

new seasonal adjustment. For further information, contact the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Office of Consumer Prices and Price Indexes, Washington, DC 20212.
§ Seasonally adjusted Producer Price Indexes have been revised from 1989 forward to reflect a
new seasonal adjustment. For further information, contact the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Division of industrial Prices and Price indexes, Washington, DC 20212.
t For Producer Price Indexes of individual commodities, see respective commodities in the Industry section beginning on page S-19. All indexes are subject to revision four months after original
publication.

§ Seasonally adjusted new housing units started have been revised from 1991 forward to reflect a
new seasonal adjustment. For further information, contact the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau
of the Census, Construction Statistics Division, Housing Starts Branch, Washington, DC 20233.
t 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.
