_L HIS report presents key information from a comprehensive revision of
the national income and product accounts (NIPA's) of the United States.
Full detail will be presented later.
The revision incorporates new source
data and estimating procedures as well
as changes in definitions and classifications. Most of the revisions are for
the years since 1958. Estimates for
earlier years were reworked w^hen necessary to provide continuous time series.
The postwar growth trend of the
revised GNP is about the same as that
of the previously published one. Newly
developed measures of real production—net national product and national
income—show virtually the same
growth trend.
The pattern of short-term fluctuations in the revised GNP is also similar
to that shown previously. However, as
is to be expected, there are some differences. The amplitude of postwar business cycles is somewhat smaller. For
the recent recession not only is the
decline from the peak in the fourth
quarter of 1973 to the trough in the
first quarter of 1975 less severe, but it
is also smoother.
Revisions in the components of the
national income and product (NIP)

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
To Allan H. Young, Chief of the National Income and Wealth Division, goes the major credit for planning and carrying through this
benchmark revision of the national income and product accounts of the United States. Second in command of this formidable undertaking
was John A. Gorman, Associate Chief of the National Income and Wealth Division until his recent change of assignment. Charles A. Waite
Chief of the Government Division, directed a major part of the work. Martin L. Marimont, Associate Director for National Economic
Accounts, provided guidance.
George Jaszi and Carol S. Carson wrote the accompanying article explaining the conceptual and methodological aspects of the benchmark revision, and the light it throws on U.S. economic developments.
The detailed statistical work of building up the revised estimates was done in the National Income and Wealth and the Government
Divisions. Robert P. Parker, Assistant Chief of the National Income and Wealth Division, and Joseph C. Wakefield, Assistant Chief of
the Government Division, supervised major segments of this work.
BEA staff that made significant contributions to the revision is listed on page 2.

flows are, of course, larger than those
in the measures of total production.
Among the important ones are revisions
in the compensation of employees and
in corporate profits. The level of the
former is raised substantially in the last
decade, and its increase in 1973 and
1974 is much larger. Corporate profits,
which showed a sharp decline in relation to employee compensation over the
last decade even before the revisions,
now show an even sharper decline since
1972. The corporate share of production
is raised substantially since 1958, reflecting a revised allocation among the
forms of business. Another important
revision is in the measurement of
saving. Portions of what had appeared
in the previously published estimates
as net saving, that is, saving after
allowances for the consumption of fixed
capital, are now such allowances. Undistributed corporate profits and personal saving are reduced, and capital
consumption allowances is increased.
Thus, the revised estimates suggest a
considerably different view of investment and its ultimate finance.
Major features of the revision

This is the sixth in a line of comprehensive revisions of the NIP estimates
iji the postwar period. The first of
these was published in the 1947 National
Income Supplement. Its most important
aspect was the introduction of a
disciplined
accounting framework

for presenting the NIP estimates. The
next, published in National Income,
1951 Edition, provided the first detailed
tables in the new accounting framework, the first detailed description of
this framework, and the first detailed
description of the methodology (data
sources and estimating methods) underlying the estimates. The third, published in National Income, 1954 Edition,
was mainly statistical. The revision
published in U.S. Income and Output
(1958) streamlined the accounting
framework, and provided quarterly
estimates of real GNP and of other
new information useful in the analysis
of economic developments. The last
revision appeared in the August 1965
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS (with
more detail in a subsequent publication
titled The National Income and Product
Accounts of the United States, 19291965); it was mainly statistical, even
though some further definitional and
classificational revisions were introduced.
The major features of the current
revision are enumerated below.
1. The revision includes the updating
for the preceding 3 years that is usually
published in the July SURVEY. Preliminary annual source data are replaced
by final data that become available
after the initial estimates are made.
Examples of such data are the income
statistics of the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) and the payroll statistics
that are a byproduct of the adminis-

tration of the State unemployment
insurance (UI) programs. The revision
of the estimates for 1973 and 1974,
which normally would have been published in July 1975, but was postponed
and incorporated in this report, was
unusually troublesome. Because of the
high rate of inflation and other economic turbulence, the Federal statistical
reporting system and the standard
estimating methods became less adequate as a basis for the NIP estimates.
As a result, there were unusually
large—although partly offsetting—
errors in the preliminary estimates
of the components of the income and
product flows.
2. The revision incorporates the
"benchmarking" of the NIP estimates
to the following censuses: the 1963 and
1967 economic censuses (the censuses
of manufactures and of business),
the 1969 Census of Agriculture, the
1970 Censuses of Population and Housing, the 1967 and 1972 Censuses of
Governments, and, to a limited extent,
the 1972 economic censuses. The incorporation of two economic censuses,
instead of the usual one, contributes
to the magnitude of the revision.
3. Numerous definitional and classificational improvements are introduced.
The most important one is an "economic" measure of capital consumption, which permits the estimation of
net national product and net capital
formation and of improved measures

of profit-type incomes. The other definitional and classificational changes
eliminate minor inconsistencies in the
NIPA's.
4. The statistical improvements are
also numerous. The reworking of the
estimates of the vehicles (autos and
trucks) components of GNP may be
singled out, because revisions in them
contribute to the improved view of
capital formation that is provided by
the definitional and classificational revisions. New source data are incorporated into the estimating methodology for inventories; however, in this
case, more than in most others, it is
obvious that much further work needs
to be done.
5. A 1972 valuation period for the
cons tant-dollar estimates is substituted
for a 1958 valuation period. Several
new constant-dollar aggregates—notably net national product and national
income—are introduced. Several component constant-dollar series are significantly improved. Two of these relate
to capital formation: construction activity and purchases of producers'
durable equipment (PDE). A third
provides better measures of production
attributable to government.

DEFINITIONAL AND
CLASSIFICATIONAL REVISIONS
The distinction between definitional
and classificational revisions, on the
one hand, and statistical revisions, on
the other, is not clearcut in all cases.
It has been suggested that definitional
and classificational revisions are those
that have no effect on the statistical
discrepancy in the NIP account, and
that statistical revisions are those that
do have an effect. This distinction is
based on the assumption that the
two sides of the NIP account are estimated independently from each other.
The distinction breaks down in instances in which this is not the case.
It breaks down also if, because of built-in
features of the methodology, an error
in the estimate of one component is
automatically offset by an equal error
in another on the same side of the
account.




SUEVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Nevertheless, the distinction is indispensable for the proper interpretation of the revisions. Suppose, for
instance, that the GNP were changed,
on the one hand, because an imputation
for the value of housewives' services
were made, and, on the other, because
revised information on retail sales
indicated that the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) component
of GNP had been understated. The
users of GNP estimates would want to
distinguish between the two cases,
and would find it appropriate to label
the former a definitional revision and
the latter a statistical one. This is so
because the distinction would flag
that in the former case they had not
been misinformed about changes in
the economy as it had been defined.
Rather, they were being informed of a
change in the definition of the economy.
In technical terms, they were being
informed that the boundary of production had been redrawn to include the
services of housewives. The proper
interpretation of the revision of PCE
would be the exact opposite. The
distinction helps in diagnosis in other
ways also. For example, labeling the
PCE revision as statistical indicates
that an improvement in the primary
data would be desirable.
Adding the term "classificational"
to the label of the nonstatistical category is also useful. It recognizes an
inevitable feature of the practical
application of definitions: It is often
not clear whether particular items fit
into one definitional category or into
another, and, accordingly, an item
may have to be moved from one
category to another in the light of
considerations that were not apparent
when the initial classification was
made.
Plan of the discussion.—The definitional and classificational revisions
are discussed in three groups immediately below: capital formation
and consumption, government transactions, and "other." The statistical
revisions are discussed in the next
section.
The explanation of the definitional
and classificational revisions uses as

a framework the structure of the
NIPA's as summarized in table A.
The 1974 magnitudes of the definitional
and classificational revisions are shown
in table B. The definitions underlying
the summary NIPA's are given in
Definitions oj NIPA Entries at the end
of this article.
Capital formation and consumption

1. Estimates of "economic" capital
consumption allowances are introduced.
These are valued at replacement cost,
that is, in current prices, and measured
consistently with respect to the service
lives of assets and the depreciation
formula. 1 In the previously published
estimates, capital consumption allowances included primarily depreciation
as tabulated by the IRS from tax returns filed by businesses. The major
exceptions were depreciation for the
farm sector, for housing that is owned
either by owner-occupants or by landlords who file individual income tax
returns rather than business returns,
and for capital owned by nonprofit institutions. Tax return depreciation has
serious shortcomings for most types of
economic analysis. The two major shortcomings are: (1) Tax return depreciation is based on asset service lives and
depreciation formulas that may not reflect the using up of fixed capital. This
defect is particularly serious if, as has
been the case in the United States,
major legislative or administrative
changes are made in the regulations
governing service lives and depreciation formulas. In the postwar period,
such changes have resulted in more
rapid writeoffs of asset values, which,
by and large, do not reflect actual
changes in the rate at which assets are
used up. (2) Tax return depreciation is
valued in terms of the historical costs
of assets. Accordingly, it reflects a mixture of prices of the various years in
which assets were acquired.
However, for some purposes—for
example, in studies of the effects of
tax policies—a tax return-based meas1. For a more detailed discussion, see Allan H. Young,

Benchmark Revision of GNP," SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS, October 1975.

ure is required. Therefore, in addition
to the new series, the NIPA's will
continue to show such measures for
corporations and nonfarm sole proprietorships and partnerships.
The new estimates of capital consumption are derived from stocks of
fixed capital calculated by the perpetual
inventory method. This method produces estimates of capital consumption
on three valuation bases: historical
cost, replacement cost, and constantdollar cost. The last two are incorporated into the new estimates. The
perpetual inventory method uses
estimates of gross investment and
service lives to derive measures of
gross stocks. Gross stocks are obtained by cumulating gross investment
in prior years and subtracting gross
investment in assets that have completed their service lives. Capital consumption allowances are obtained by
applying depreciation rates to the
investment elements that remain in
the gross stock. The investment estimates that are used to implement this
method are the producers' durable
equipment and structures components
of GNP. The service lives used for
nonresidential structures and equipment are 85 percent of the lives specified
in the 1942 edition of IRS Bulletin F.
The lives used for new residential
structures are 80 and 65 years for new
l-to-4 and 5-or-more unit dwellings,
and 40 and 32 years for corresponding
additions
and alterations.181 The
straight-line depreciation formula is
used.
The new measures of capital consumption have no effect on GNP and
charges against GNP.2 However, they
la. The part of the introduction of economic capital consumption that relates to the adjustment to consistent service
lives and depreciation formulas is regarded as a definitional
and classificational revision only if it replaces service lives
and depreciation formulas based on tax return information.
This is not the case for housing that is owned either by
owner-occupants or by landlords who file individual income
tax returns rather than business returns. Accordingly, the
introduction of the new estimates of service lives for this
housing is regarded as a statistical revision. (See the discussion of capital consumption allowances in the Statistical
Revisions section.)
2. There is one exception to this statement: the introduction of the new measures for nonprofit institutions. The
operating expenses of these institutions, which are included
in PCE, are changed, and this change is carried into the
national product total. The balancing change in the NIP
account is in capital consumption allowances. In the personal
income and outlay account, the change in PCE is offset by a
change in personal saving, and, in the gross saving and investment account, the change in personal saving is offest by the
change in capital consumption allowances.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
permit meaningful calculations of net
national product, and other net measures of total product and of net fixed
private domestic investment. The adjustment of the previous estimates of
capital consumption allowances to the
new basis and the associated changes
in the profit-type incomes, which are
net of capital consumption allowances,
is accomplished by a new entry labeled
capital consumption adjustment. This
entry equals the new measure of capital
consumption less the previous measure.
It changes the capital consumption
allowances in the NIP account, but
this change is offset by changes in
proprietors' income, rental income of
persons, and corporate profits and its
undistributed component (table A-l).
The changes in the NIP account carry
into the other NIPA's. In the personal
income and outlay account, proprietors'
income, rental income of persons, and
personal consumption expenditures,
and, consequently, personal saving, are
changed (table A-2). In the gross saving
and investment account, there are offsetting changes in capital consumption
allowances, undistributed corporate
profits, and personal saving (table
A-5).
2. Purchases of all mobile homes are
reclassified into investment in structures. In the previously published
estimates, 90 percent of them were
classified as PCE; this portion is reclassified into residential structures.
The remaining 10 percent were classified
as PDE; this portion is reclassified into
nonresidential structures. This change
is made because mobile homes have
become more distinguishable from recreational vehicles, and, in recent years,
increasingly important as permanent
residences.
The shift of mobile homes from PCE
to residential structures entails an
imputation procedure similar to that
used for owner-occupied conventional
residences, the essence of which is to
regard the owner of a residence as
renting to himself. The main steps in
this procedure are as follows: (1) An
item for gross rental value of mobile
homes, inferred from the actual rental
value of tenant-occupied mobile homes,
is entered in the PCE services com-

Part I January 1976

ponent. (2) The expenses of operating
mobile homes—maintenance and insurance—are removed from PCE and
are charged against the gross rental
value in obtaining net rental value.
(3) Interest paid to finance purchases
of mobile homes is reclassified from
interest paid by consumeis into interest
paid by business, which is a business
expense. (4) Property taxes on mobile
homes are reclassified from personal
property taxes into business property
taxes, which is also a business expense.
(5) To obtain total expenses charged
against gross rental value, depreciatior
on mobile homes—a heretofore unrecorded item—is added to the list of
business expenses. (6) The net rental
value, that is, rental income of persons,
is obtained by deducting items (2),
(3), (4), and (5) from item (1). The
table on page 7 demonstrates that the
equality between GNP and charges
against GNP, is net disturbed by the
entry of these items.
3. Consumer-type durables purchased
by landlords are reclassified from PCE
into PDE. This reclassification gives
these items the treatment that is given
in the NIPA's to business fixed investment. The following changes are made
in the NIPA's. In the NIP account,
(1) PCE is reduced and PDE is increased by the amount of landlords'
purchases of consumer-type durables
and (2) capital consumption allowances
and charges against GNP, and the
monetary rent component of PCE and
GNP, are increased by the amount
of capital consumption allowances on
the stock of these durables. This change
in the rent component of PCE involves
a change in its definition as space rent
to a definition of rent that includes
rent on consumer-type durables installed in rental dwellings. Profittype incomes are not affected because
they included such rent in the previously published estimates. In the
personal income and outlay account,
PCE is decreased by the excess of
purchases of landlords' durables over
the capital consumption allowances
on the stock of such durables, and
personal saving is increased by the
same amount. In the gross saving
and investment account, the increase

in gross private domestic investment
is balanced by the increase in capital

4. Outlays for drilling mine shafts
to mineral deposits other than petroleum and natural gas are reclassified
into capital expenditures. In the previously published estimates, such outlays were generally classified as business
expense, and accordingly were not
explicitly recorded in the NIPA's.
The change is made to conform the
treatment of outlays for mine shafts
to that of outlays for the drilling of
petroleum and natural gas wells. This
revision entails two changes in the
NIP account. (1) Outlays for mine
shafts are added to the structures
component of nonresidential private
fixed investment, and profit-type incomes are raised correspondingly because an equal amount of intermediate
products charged to current expense
has been removed. (2) Capital consumption of the stock of mine shafts
is deducted from profit-type incomes
and added to capital consumption
allowances.
5. Inventories held by the contract
construction industry are reclassified
from nondurable into durable inventories.

Government transactions




1. Government interest is affected
by two definitional and classificational
revisions; one relates to net interest
paid to foreigners, the other to imputed
interest received by government.
Interest paid by the Federal Government to foreigners is reclassified
into a newly introduced category labeled interest paid by government to
foreigners. (State and local government interest payments to foreigners
are negligible.) In the previously published estimates, such payments were
classified as Government purchases
of goods and services and imports of
goods and services. The previous treatment had been adopted to secure uniformity with the detailed balance of
payments accounts in a period when
Government interest payments to foreigners were small. In recent years,
these payments have become a multibillion-dollar item, and it does not seem
advisable to continue that treatment
even though the new treatment results
in a difference between the net exports
of goods and services component of
GNP and the corresponding component of the detailed balance of payments accounts. The new treatment
reduces Government purchases of goods

and services and imports of goods and
services. Inasmuch as the entry for the
latter item is negative, net exports of
goods and services is increased, and
total GNP is unchanged.
In principle, interest payments by
foreign governments to residents of the
United States should be treated in the
same way as are interest payments by
U.S. government (Federal and State
and local). This cannot be done, because the amount of foreign government interest paid to U.S. residents is
not known. In the revised estimates, all
foreign interest paid to U.S. residents
is regarded as an export of goods and
services and as a factor income received
by U.S. residents. Accordingly, GNP
is overstated by the amount of foreign
government interest received by U.S.
residents. In the previously published
estimates, an attempt was made to
approximate the appropriate treatment
of foreign government interest by
equating it to foreign interest received
by the U.S. Government, and treating
it as a government sale netted against
government purchases and as an export, so that it did not affect total
GNP. The previous treatment understated GNP by the amount of foreign
business interest received by the U.S.
Government and overstated GNP by
the amount of foreign government
interest received by U.S. business,
State and local governments, and
persons.
The second item under this heading
is imputed interest received by government. In the revised estimates, government receives imputed interest and
pays an equal amount of imputed
charges for services furnished without
payment by financial intermediaries
except life insurance carriers. In the
previously published estimates, these
amounts were received and paid by
persons.
2. Federal purchases are reclassified
into subsidies in two cases: payments
to State and local authorities providing
low-rent public housing, and payments
to shipbuilders to support the construction of ships. As a consequence,
government purchases and GNP are
reduced, subsidies less the current
surplus of government enterprises in-

creased, and charges against GNP
reduced. In the government receipts
and expenditures account, purchases
are reduced and subsidies less current
surplus of government enterprises increased, so that the government surplus remains unchanged.
3. Repayments of loans extended in
connection with the crop support programs of the Commodity Credit Corporation are revalued to reflect the
current price of these crops instead of
their price at the time the loans were
extended, which was the valuation
method underlying the previously published estimates. The extension of
these loans less their repayment is a
component o government purchases.
The change removes from government
purchases and from subsidies less the
current surplus of government enterprises—and from total GNP and
charges against GNP—an element that
is similar to the difference between
the replacement cost of inventories
used up over their historical cost. (This
difference is removed from the reported
book value change in inventories and
from reported profit-type incomes in
calculating GNP and charges against




GNP; see the discussion of the inventory change component of GNP in
the Statistical Revisions section.) The
revaluation of Commodity Credit Corporation loans requires the same
changes in the NIP account and in the
government receipts and expenditures
account as those described above in
connection with the reclassification
of Federal purchases into subsidies.
4. Two changes affect the accounting
for payments to present and former
military personnel. Retirement pay
received by Navy enlisted personnel is
reclassified from other labor income, a
component of the compensation of employees, into transfer payments. This
change is made to conform the treatment
of such payments to retirement pay in
general. The new treatment reduces
government purchases, which includes
the compensation of government employees, and GNP, and the compensation of employees and charges against
GNP. In the personal income and outlay account, other labor income is reduced and transfer payments from
government is increased by equal
amounts. In the government receipts
and expenditures account, purchases of

goods and services is reduced and transfer payments increased.
The pay of military reserves is reclassified from other labor income into
wages and salaries. The purpose of this
reclassification is to conform the treatment of military reserve pay to that of
part-time civilian employees.
5. The peaceful activities of the Energy Research and Development Administration (formerly the Atomic Energy Commission) are reclassified from
national defense into nondefense purchases.
6. Two changes affect the accounting
for taxes. Special assessments are reclassified from personal tax and nontax
payments into indirect business tax
and nontax liability. These special assessments are levied upon property
owners to finance the construction of
sewers, sidewalks, and similar items.
Business-type incomes are reduced and
business property taxes and total indirect business tax and nontax liability
are increased correspondingly, so that
charges against GNP are unchanged.
In the personal income and outlay
account, profit-type incomes and per-

sonal tax and nontax payments are
reduced by equal amounts.
The loss carrybacks under the Federal corporate profits tax are reclassified from the year of tax accrual into
the year of tax refund. This is done because in this case a transaction that
occurred in a given period was unnecessarily recorded in the NIPA's
in a period prior to its occurrence.
This reclassifi cation affects offsettingly
corporate tax accruals and undistributed profits in charges against GNP,
corporate profits tax liabilities and surplus in the government receipts and
expenditures account, and undistributed corporate profits and government
surplus in the gross saving and investment account.
7. Reimbursements to government
employees for depreciation on the
official use of their autos is reclassified
from transfer payments into a government purchase from persons. In the
NIP account, PCE is decreased, and
government purchases is increased by
an equal amount. GNP is unchanged.

and foreign residents working in the
United States) are treated on a gross
basis instead of on a net basis as in the
previously published estimates. The
compensation of employees received
from abroad by U.S. residents for work
performed abroad is counted as an
export and the compensation received
from the United States by foreign
residents for work performed in the
United States is counted as an import.
PCE abroad of U.S. residents while
working abroad is counted as an import,
and PCE of foreign residents while
working in the United States is counted
as an export. In the previously published estimates, these flows were shown
net, that is, only net receipts of these
groups were shown, the net receipts of
the former as exports and the net receipts of the latter as imports. The new
procedure does not change the net exports of goods and services component
of GNP, or GNP. (However, a portion
of GNP is reclassified from gross product originating in the business sector
Other
into gross product originating in the
1. Foreign transactions of border rest-of-the-world sector.) The new proworkers (U.S. residents working abroad cedure introduces a further difference

to persons and PCE are reduced by the
same amount, and, in the government
receipts and expenditures account, an
increase in purchases is offset by a reduction in transfer payments.
8. One of the criteria for classifying
a government activity as general government or as government enterprise
is changed. Net interest received in
connection with the performance of
such activities is no longer regarded as a
receipt in judging whether receipts are
a sufficient proportion of costs to qualify
an activity as government enterprise.
As a result of this change, several government activities—mostly financial—
are reclassified from government enterprise to general government.
The 1974 magnitudes for items 5,6,7,
and 8 are shown combined in the
"other" government transactions column of table B.
9. The classification of government
purchases into durable and nondurable
goods is revised to conform the former
to PDE.

required a distinction between farm
landlords living on and those living off
farms, a distinction that the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, which is
responsible for the farm income estimates, found increasingly difficult to
make.
4. Interest on home improvement
loans is reclassified from interest paid
by consumers to business into the net
interest component of charges against
GNP. These payments are made by
homeowners, and are reclassified in
order to conform the treatment of these
payments to that of mortgage interest
payments by homeowners. GNP is
unchanged, and the reduction in the
rental income of persons component of
charges against GNP is offset by an
increase in its net interest component.
The personal income and outlay account
also reflects these changes. In addition, interest paid by consumers to
business is reduced by equal amounts
on the two sides of this account.
5. Receipts of dividends and rents by
noninsured pension plans, that is, plans
managed by banks and other financial
institutions except life insurance companies, are reclassified from interest




into dividends and rents. This reclassification raises the net interest
component of charges against GNP,
and reduces the dividends and corporate
profits components and rental income of
persons component of the charges;
total charges against GNP and GNP
are unchanged. The changes in net
interest, dividends, and rental income
of persons carry into the personal
income and outlay account, and personal income is unchanged. Most of
the reclassification is from interest into
dividends; the reclassification into
rental income of persons is very small.
Items 3, 4, and 5 are shown combined in the last column of table B.

STATISTICAL REVISIONS
The statistical revisions discussed
below result in unusually large changes
in the components of GNP and in the
components of charges against GNP.
The unusual size of the revisions is due
partly to the length of the period—
encompassing two economic censuses
instead of the customary one—that has
elapsed since the last comprehensive
revision, and partly to the extreme inflation and other economic dislocations

that have complicated the task of
estimating the NIPA's in recent years.
Fortunately, many of the errors made
in estimating the components are offsetting, so that the revisions in the
major aggregates are not large by past
standards.
Among the methodological improvements introduced, those relating to
the vehicles components of GNP are
particularly important. Their major
feature is that they provide separate
estimates of personal and business
purchases of autos that are based on
current information and a better accounting of the transfer of used autos
from the business to the personal sector.
The methodology for estimating the
change in business inventories (CBI)
has also been improved, mainly by the
introduction of information that permits
a better separation of book value inventories according to the accounting
methods underlying them. This separation is the foundation of the complex
methodology for estimating CBI. However, the estimation of CBI and the
associated inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) requires further improvement, partly because the primary data

16
continue to be deficient and partly because CBI is particularly volatile and
therefore difficult to estimate. Together
with improved procedures for measuring
investment in structures and PDE,
the changes in the estimating procedures
for vehicles and inventories reinforce
the definitional and classificational improvements relating to private domestic
investment.
Other statistical revisions are due to
the routine incorporation of data sources
that were not available when the estimates were initially made. Among the
revisions that are routine but large are
those in the goods and in the services
components of PCE, residential investment, net exports, State and local government purchases, compensation of employees, and corporate profits.
Plan of the discussion.—The discussion of GNP components is taken up in
the order in which they appear in the
NIP account, which is shown in table A.
Next, the charges against GNP, as
shown in the same table, are taken up.
Revisions in NIPA entries other than
those in the NIP account, or related to
them, are small, and are not discussed.
The statistical revisions in the NIPA
entries are summarized in table C for
selected years. In the discussion below,
reference is made to supplementary tables
that provide additional information.
The current-dollar statistical revisions are generally limited to the years
1959-74, because estimates for prior
years had undergone a comprehensive
revision in 1965. Important series that
are revised for earlier years are the
gasoline component of PCE, the vehicles
components of PCE and PDE, rental
income of persons, and capital consumption allowances.
In general, the discussion of the revisions is confined to the annual estimates
for 1963-74. Revisions for prior years
are usually small. Revisions in the
quarterly estimates largely reflect the
revised annual figures and are due to
some extent to the updating of seasonal
adjustments.
At some points in the subsequent
discussion of GNP components, reference is made to the input-output (I-O)




SUEVEY OF CUKKENT BUSINESS
tables prepared by BEA. The following
sketch of I-O methodology will help
explain why these references are necessary in the discussion of some components but not of others. The essence
of I-O methodology is to estimate total
output of each of the Nation's industries, and to allocate these outputs to
the conventional GNP components
and to the industries that use these
outputs for further processing. Furthermore, the estimating methodology
insures that the total output of each
industry equals its use of industry
outputs for further processing plus its
value added seen as the sum of its
factor and nonfactor costs. This reconciliation of the uses and sources of total
output is done with the aid of a variety
of source data and estimating techniques.
It is useful to distinguish two extremes within this methodology, although in most instances the procedures
that are actually used do not conform
to either of them. The first is exemplified by the set of cases in which there
is no direct information on that part
of the value of industry outputs that
goes to the conventional GNP components. The outstanding case is PDE.
There is no information that permits a
comprehensive direct estimate of the
value of durable equipment purchased
by business investors. In the absence
of such information, I-O methodology
starts with estimates of manufacturers'
shipments of items destined for use as
PDE without further processing. It
then deducts exports and government
purchases, adds imports, allows for
inventory change, and adds trade and
transportation margins and some other,
less important items to derive the
value of PDE. The second extreme is
exemplified by the set of cases in
which direct information on that part
of the value of industry outputs that
goes to the conventional GNP components is preferable to the complex
estimating procedure just summarized.
The outstanding case is Federal Government purchases.
It is apparent that in the discussions
of the revisions of items that resemble
the first set of cases, reference will have

Part I January 1976
to be made to I-O methodology. However, the methodology is not explained
in detail; instead the discussion focuses
on the series used to interpolate between
I-O estimates (specifically, the estimates for 1958, 1963, and 1967) and to
extrapolate from the 1967 estimates
into the current period. It is equally
apparent that in the second set of
cases nothing would be gained for the
task at hand by referring to the I-O
estimates; accordingly, the discussion
is confined to the revisions of the series
that are used to make the direct
estimates of the GNP components.
Components of GNP

PCE.—Revisions in PCE on goods
are discussed in the following sequence:
those related to corresponding I-O
components and to the series by which
these components are interpolated and
extrapolated, vehicles, and gasoline and
oil. Revisions in PCE on services are
discussed in the following sequence:
auto repairs, household operation, housing, medical care, and services furnished
without payment by financial intermediaries except life insurance carriers.
1. The I-O related revisions shown
in table 1 cover PCE on all goods
except vehicles and gasoline and oil.
The revisions are irregular because of
irregularities in the extrapolator. Basically this extrapolator (the retail
control series) is the sample-based
Census Bureau series on sales of retail
stores other than auto dealers, gasoline
service stations, and building materials,
hardware, and farm equipment dealers.
It is adjusted by BEA to eliminate
three biases. The first stems from an
inadequate treatment of births and

1. Sales of retail stores other than auto dealers, gasoline
service stations, and building materials hardware, and farm
equipment dealers raised to the level of I-O related PCE.

deaths of retail stores, which, given the
growth in the underlying universe of
retail stores, results in a downward
bias. This bias was corrected by the
Census Bureau; BEA made its own
correction for 1968-70. The second
bias stems from the fact that many
stores do not comply with the Census
Bureau's instruction to include sales
taxes in their reports of sales. This
noncompliance also results in a downward bias, because sales taxes have
increased faster since 1967 than sales
exclusive of these taxes. The third stems
from the fact that, because of cutoff
dates in the revision schedule used by
the Census Bureau, certain preliminary
sales reports that are typically understated are not replaced by final reports.
BEA has adjusted the published Census
Bureau series for the second and third
biases for the years beginning in 1968
on the basis of information from the
Census Bureau and other sources.
The relation of the BEA retail control
series to the sales series published
by the Census Bureau is shown in
table 2.
2. The revisions incorporate a reworking of the procedure for allocating
new and used autos to PCE and PDE.
In the previously published estimates,
fixed percentages had been used to
allocate total private purchases of
new and used autos combined. The
use of fixed percentages—85 percent
to PCE and 15 percent to PDE—
has long been recognized as a flaw,
but it was difficult to remedy because
of the lack of pertinent data. The
revised procedure is a distinct improvement, even though the new source
data on which it is based continue to

have shortcomings. It incorporates current information on actual new purchases of autos by persons and by
business. It includes a separate businesspersonal allocation of autos used for
both purposes. Also, it takes explicit
account of the transfer of used autos
among the business, personal, and
government sectors. The new procedure
is based on data on registrations,
retention rates, and depreciation schedules, and provides annual estimates
for 1946-61 and quarterly estimates
beginning in 1962. Further revisions
in the auto estimates result from the
incorporation of new information on
dealers' margins and new seasonal
adjustments to the series on unit
sales of new autos.
The PCE share of expenditures on
new autos plus net used autos is, on
average, slightly smaller than the
85 percent assumed previously, and the
share of expenditures on new autos
is much smaller (table 3).
3. The revisions also take into account
that consumer purchases of trucks
have grown to significant amounts
in recent years (table 1). Accordingly,
a procedure for allocating trucks

17
between PCE and PDE, similar to
the one for autos, is introduced.
4. The revisions in expenditures for
gasoline and oil are associated with
those in autos and trucks. A downward
revision is based on new information on
the average number of miles that business- and consumer-owned autos are
driven. This downward revision tends
to be offset by an upward revision that
stems from the allocation of trucks to
PCE. In 1974, PCE for gasoline and
oil is further revised upward on the
basis of new information on the retail
price of gasoline.
5. The auto repair component of
PCE is revised upward in association
with the revised allocation of autos to
PCE (table 4). Used autos, the allocation of which to PCE is increased,
require more repair than new autos, the
allocation of which is decreased.
6. The upward revision of the household operation component conforms it
to the 1967 I-O estimate of this item.
The revision was largely in consumer
purchases of utilities.
7. Housing expenditures is revised
upward because of the incorporation of
information from the 1960 and 1970
Censuses of Housing. The number of
occupied nonfarm dwelling units is
increased. This increase is partly offset
by a decrease in the estimate of average
rents. Beginning with 1973, housing
expenditures is also increased on the
basis of information from the Annual
Housing Survey conducted by the Census Bureau.
8. An upward revision in medical
care reflects new information from
several sources, including the Department of Health, Education, and Wei-

9. Services furnished without payment by financial intermediaries except
life insurance carriers is revised downward on the basis of information collected starting in 1970 in a new Federal
Eeserve Board quarterly survey of the
ownership of bank deposits. This information replaces estimates that had
been based upon the extrapolation by

survey for January 1961.

plants under construction, which had
been included in the value of construction in the previously published estimates. Escalation of interest rates and
increased construction underway on
utility plants had raised these costs
from negligible amounts through the
mid-1960's to substantial amounts in
recent years. Inclusion of these costs in
the value of construction had resulted
in a discrepancy between GNP and
charges against GNP, because these
costs were counted as part of the value
of production, but were counted as
business expense in the calculation of
the corporate profits component of
charges against GNP.
2. The I-O related revisions in PDE
cover PDE except autos and trucks.
These revisions reflect changes in the
product composition of output, in the
allocation between government and
business, and in margins. The I-O
estimates are interpolated and extrapolated by the average of two series.
The first of these is a composite of
manufacturers' shipments of the several
types of PDE. Eevisions in this series
reflect, in essence, the I-O revisions.
The second series is based on plant and
equipment (P. & E.) expenditures as
reported in the BE A P. & E. survey,
adjusted to make these expenditures as
comparable as possible to the I-O
component. Eevisions in the series
based on P. & E. expenditures are due
mainly to the incorporation of the
partial results of an ongoing study
designed to improve the reconciliation
of the P. & E. expenditures and the I-O
estimates of PDE.

3. The valuation of computers that
are owned by the manufacturer and
leased to others is revised to reflect the
manufacturer's cost instead of the
manufacturer's sales price. This revision is designed to make the valuation
of these computers consistent with the
valuation that is used in estimating
their depreciation.
Expenditures for nuclear reactor fuel
elements and control rods are added to
PDE beginning in 1968. This revision
is made to conform the treatment of
this item to its tax treatment as
capital outlay rather than as current
expense. Neither this revision nor the
one just mentioned has as yet been
incorporated into the I-O estimates of
PDE.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Part I January 1976

4. The revisions of the vehicles
component of PDE were explained in
connection with the corresponding component of PCE.
Residential investment.—Most of the
upward revisions in residential structures reflect changes in the Census
Bureau's estimates of multiunit structures; these changes are due to new
information on the difference between
the value recorded on building permits
and the value of the finished structures.
Upward revisions in real estate brokers'
commissions are based on information
on the volume of real estate transactions
contained in the 1967 Census of Governments (table 5).
CBI.—Revisions in CBI stem from
new information on book values and
from improvements in the methodology
of deriving the CBI from book values.
1. The 1974 change in farm inventories was revised by the Department
of Agriculture to incorporate yearend
information on inventories of crops and
livestock that was not available when
the estimate was initially published.
Revisions in the book value of nonfarm inventories stem mostly from the
introduction of new information from
the 1967 and 1972 censuses of manufactures and trade, and new and
revised information from the corresponding annual and monthly surveys. The estimates for nonfarm industries other than manufacturing and
trade are revised to incorporate IRS
tabulations for 1972 and 1973, and a
new procedure for extrapolating the
1973 estimates on the basis of information from the Securities and Exchange
Commission and other sources (table
6).

2. The procedure for deriving CBI
from book values was thoroughly reworked. Inasmuch as the IVA is the
change in book values CBI less the
effect of these revisions is reflected in
the IVA column of table 6. According
to NIPA definitions, CBI is the change
in the physical volume of business
inventories valued in prices of the
current period. In general, the change
in the book value of inventories is not
the required measure, because book
values reflect the prices of the inventories in the periods in which they were
acquired; if prices change, identical
physical units in the stock of inventories will generally be valued at
different prices. Therefore, the difference in the book value of inventories
does not measure the change in physical
volume in current prices, but represents a mix of volume, price, and capital
gain-like appreciation factors.
To provide the CBI measure,
book values are first converted into
physical volume measures by expressing
book values in constant prices. These
constant-price measures are differenced,
and, as a final step, CBI is derived by
expressing these differences in current
prices. The estimating procedure is as
follows. Inventory stocks are separated
into components according to the inventory accounting methods that underlie
them. This is done because the mix
of acquisition costs differs according
to the several accounting methods.
Next, prices that correspond to the
acquisition costs are selected with the
aid of estimates of turnover periods.
In general, the longer the turnover
period, the further back in time one
must go to reach the prices that are

19
reflected in acquisition costs. Division
of the book values by indexes based
on these prices converts book values
of inventory stocks into constantdollar inventory stocks. The differences
between the constant-price measures
are multiplied b}^ ratios of current
prices to constant prices to obtain
CBI.
Better information, derived mainly
from two BE A surveys, on the inventory accounting methods underlying
book values is the most important
element in the improvement of the
methodology. In addition, the estimating procedure is carried out in
finer industry detail than in the previously published estimates.
The previously published and revised
estimates of the IVA are shown in
table 7. This table also shows a feature
of the new methodology not yet discussed. Beginning in 1972, two IVA's
are calculated: one is applicable to
CBI, and the other to profit-type
incomes. It is necessary to make two
calculations, because accounting methods underlying the inventory book
values, which are largely based on
Census Bureau surveys, differ somewhat from those underlying the IRS
and Federal Trade Commission tabulations of book profits and proprietors'
income, which are used in deriving the
NIPA measures of these incomes.
Net exports.—Net exports reflect revisions in the detailed balance of payments accounts, which, because of
differences in publication dates, had
not been incorporated in the NIPA's.
Except in recent years, most of the
revisions are in components other than
merchandise, and stem from new in-

formation on the net inflow of property incomes, particularly the earnings of U.S.-based multinational petroleum corporations (table 8).
Government purchases.—Most of the
revisions in government purchases are
in State and local purchases, specifically in the "other" component (table
9). They are largely due to three factors:
the incorporation of information from
the 1972 Census of Governments and
the 1973 and 1974 Governmental Finances Surveys; improved procedures
for converting Census Bureau information on local governments from a fiscal
year to a calendar year basis; and a
reclassification of certain nontax receipts into government sales, which are
deducted in deriving purchases.
Charges against GNP
Compensation of employees.—The statistical revisions in compensation of
employees are shown in table 10.
1. The major revision in wages and
salaries is in the industries in which
the estimates are based on data from
UI programs. The coverage of these
programs was extended in 1972 to
include firms with less than four
emplo3^ees and also commission salesmen and agents-drivers. Analysis of the
1972 and 1973 tabulations under the
extended program indicated not only
that the BEA estimates of previously
noncovered employees had been too
low, but also that some firms previously
covered by the programs had not been
filing returns. The upward revision of
the estimates due to the incorporation
of the new data was carried back to
1958 and forward to 1974. In the latter
year, it accounted for about one-half
of the revision in the Ul-based wages
and salaries estimate. The remainder
resulted from the routine replacement
of estimates based on the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) monthly establishment survey by estimates based
on the UI data. Revisions in other
private wages and salaries reflect mainly
new Department of Agriculture estimates for farm employees and new BLS
data on the employees of religious
organizations. Wages and salaries of
State and local government employees




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
is revised upward on the basis of information from the 1972 Census of
Governments.
2. Revisions in supplements to wages
and salaries are due to new and revised
information on employer contributions
to private pension and welfare funds.
The 1972 and 1973 revisions incorporate
new IRS tabulations; the 1974 revisions
are based on information from private
sources.
3. The allocation of employee compensation by legal form has been reworked on the basis of information from
the 1963, 1967, and 1972 economic
censuses. As a result, the corporate
share is raised; the upward revision
amounts in recent years to about 10
percent
of
corporate
employee
compensation.

Part I January 1976

Proprietors' income.—Revisions in the
net income of farm proprietors are due
to higher expenses beginning with 1950,
lower marketings in 1973, and the
downward revision of farm inventories
in 1974. Revisions in nonfarm proprietors' income are mainh~ due to the
routine incorporation of IRS tabulations for 1973 and their extrapolation
into 1974.
Rental income of persons.—Downward
revisions in capital consumption allowances, which are described below, and
upward revisions, which were described
in connection with the housing component of PCE, are the major factors
in the upward revision in the rental
income of persons.

and 1973 downward revisions in corporate profits (and profits tax liability)
stem from the substitution of IRS
tabulations for estimates based on the
Federal Trade Commission and other
preliminary data (table 11). The 1974
revisions reflect the extrapolation of the
IRS tabulations and some improvements in the extrapolator series for
manufacturing. The latter also account
for the irregularity of the quarterly
revisions. For years prior to 1973, the
revisions are due also to the incorporation of improved measures of profits
discovered as a result of IRS audits, and
a more adequate accounting of foreign
trading losses of U.S.-based multinational petroleum corporations. The
IVA series shown in table 11 is the
corporate part of the IVA applicable
to profit-type incomes shown in table 7.
Net interest.—The downward revisions in net interest through 1973
reflect the incorporation of information
fom the 1970 Survey of Residential
Finance conducted by the Census
Bureau, which indicated that the prior
methodology had overstated the increase in the average interest rate paid
on home mortgages. In 1973 and 1974,
the reduction in this item is offset by
new information on other components
of net interest from IRS, regulatory
agencies, and other sources. Introduction of this new information results in
a large upward revision in net interest
paid by corporate business.
Capital consumption allowances.—
Most of the downward revision is in the
other private business component of
noncorporate business, and is due to
the substitution of longer service lives

in the calculation of capital consumption allowances on tenant- and owneroccupied housing (table 12). The revised estimates are based on service
lives of 80 years for new l-to-4 unit
structures, 65 years for new 5-or-more
unit structures, and 40 and 32 years
for the corresponding additions and
alterations; in the previously published
estimates, a 50 year service life was
used for all residential structures.
(Both sets of estimates are based on
straight-line depreciation.)
Beginning in 1972, the revisions in
corporate capital consumption allowances are due to the routine incorporation of IRS tabulations for 1972 and
1973, and their extrapolation into 1974.
The revisions for 1959-71 largely result
from the addition to depreciation, as
tabulated by IRS, of allowances for
depreciation on special tools and dies
that are used in the motor vehicle and
other manufacturing industries. Prior
to 1971, IRS regulations required that
the cost of these items be reported as
other deductions.

CONSTANT-DOLLAR ESTIMATES
The valuation period underlying the
constant-dollar estimates is shifted from
1958 to 1972, and the estimates are reworked back to 1929 to provide consistent time series for the entire period
covered by BEA. The selection of 1972
rather than a more recent year was
dictated mainly by the fact that 1972
is the latest year that will not be affected by the routine July revisions of
the NIPA's. Incorporation of the sharp
increases in food and energy prices in
relation to the prices of other goods and

services since 1972 would probably
have a significant effect on the movement of constant-dollar GNP. Because
energy prices are likely to remain higher
in relation to other prices than they
were in 1972, it is regrettable that it
was not possible to take the energy
price increase into account. However,
the increase could not have been taken
into account in a fully satisfactory way
even if the latest year had been selected
as the valuation period, because other
prices in the economy have only partly
adjusted to the higher level of energy
prices.
The reworking of the constant-dollar
estimates has, of course, resulted in a
new set of implicit price deflators.
Information on fixed-weigh ted and
chain price indexes is presented in
greater detail than previously.
Several new constant-dollar measures
are introduced. Net variants of constantdollar measures at market price—most
importantly net national product and
net private domestic fixed investment—
are calculated using economic capital
consumption. Constant-dollar measures
at factor cost—most importantly national income—are also introduced. To
calculate the latter, it is necessary to
convert all nonfactor charges against
GNP in to constant dollars. The methods
used are somewhat arbitrary in some
cases. Indirect business tax and nontax
liability is converted into constant
dollars in considerable detail on the
premise that changes in tax rates are
price changes. Taxes on specific products, such as liquor, gasoline, and
tobacco products, are extrapolated from
the valuation period by the corresponding constant-dollar product series. Business property taxes are handled in
essentially the same way: 1972 property taxes are extrapolated by constantdollar stocks of residential and nonresidential buildings. General sales taxes
are extrapolated by constant-dollar
PCE on goods Jess PCE on the specific
products referred to above and less onehalf of PCE on food. Subsidies are
handled in essentially the same way as
taxes on specific products, that is, subsidies are extrapolated by constantdollar series related to the subsidized
activity. Business transfer payments
and the current surplus of government

22
enterprises are extrapolated by constantdollar gross nonfarm business product.
Specific improvements in the estimates of the components of constantdollar GNP are discussed below.
PCE.—Three major changes are
made in the estimation of constantdollar PCE.
1. For years beginning in 1958,
constant-dollar expenditures on food
consumed at home is estimated by
applying specific price indexes to about
17 separate categories of food. In the
previously published estimates, total
expenditures on food consumed at home
was divided by a composite price index
with fixed weights. The new procedure
is an improvement, because it gives
weights to the various categories of food
that are proportional to the relative
importance of these categories in each
year.
2. The use of Department of Agriculture indexes of prices paid by farmers
to supplement components of the Consumer Price Index in the estimation of
constant-dollar PCE was discontinued
beginning with the estimates for 1958.
These indexes are deficient because
they do not distinguish between various
grades of goods, and accordingly their
use gives rise to calculations in which
what should be real changes appear to
be price changes. Discontinuation of
the use of these price indexes seemed
justified also because prices measured
by the Consumer Price Index have
become increasingly representative of
prices paid by consumers living in rural
areas.
3. It is notoriously difficult to measure
the constant-dollar output of financial
services. A new procedure is used to
measure the constant-dollar output of
services furnished without payment by
financial intermediaries except life
insurance carriers. It assumes that the
real volume of this output is proportional to full-time equivalent employment in these financial intermediaries.
Although this assumption is arbitrary,
it is preferable to the procedure underlying the previously published estimates, which indicated a persistent
and substantial decline in output per
worker.




SUKVEY OF CURKENT BUSINESS
Fixed investment.—Two improvements in the measurement of constantdollar fixed investment, which had been
incorporated in the previously published
estimates beginning with 1971, are
extended back to 1947 and 1958,
respectively. The first one relates to
structures, the constant-dollar value
of which is difficult to measure, because
of changes in the physical specification
of structures that are produced. The
second relates to PDE, where the
proper matching of published price
indexes with the delivery basis on
which PDE is measured is troublesome.
The new measures, which continue to
have serious shortcomings, have been
described in greater detail in the
SURVEY.5

Government purchases.—An attempt
is made to approximate specification
pricing for the value added by general
government, which is measured by the
compensation of government employees. In the previously published
estimates, the constant-dollar measure
of the value added by Federal civilian
employees was obtained by extrapolating base-year compensation by full-time
equivalent employment. In the new
procedure, in effect, indexes (1972 =
100) of employee hours in the various
Civil Service and wage board grades
are given weights that are proportional
to 1972 payrolls in these grades. The
rationale of this weighting system is
that average pay by grade reflects such
factors as experience and education.
The procedure is modified to eliminate
differences in average pay that do not
reflect differences in these factors.
Constant-dollar value added by military
employees is obtained by weighting
indexes of employment in the various
ranks of officers and enlisted men by
1972 payrolls in these ranks. For State
and local government employees other
than those engaged in education, unweighted man-hours are adjusted by
use of the information relating to
Federal civilian employees. For elementary and secondary school teachers,
5. See "Revised Deflators for New Construction, 1947-63,"
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, August 1974, and Irving
Eottenberg and Gerald Donahoe, "Improved Deflation of
Producers' Durable Equipment," SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS, July 1975.

Part I January 1976

indexes of employee hours crossclassified by educational attainment
and experience are given weights proportional to payrolls in those crossclassifications. For teachers in higher
education, the weighting system takes
into account only differences in educational attainment. The weighting
system for nonteaching employees takes
into account occupational categories.
The methodology for obtaining constant-dollar
government purchases
from business is improved by the incorporation of new information on
prices and on the product composition
of government purchases. Most important among the former is the new
series on the prices of structures referred
to above. Also, in some cases price
information that relates directly to the
kinds of goods and services purchased
is obtained from Government agencies.
This information replaces previously
used price series that were less representative. Greater detail on the product composition of government purchases permits a better matching of
current-dollar purchases with the price
indexes used to convert them into
constant dollars. For the Federal
Government, this information is derived from the records on contracts
awarded by the Department of Defense, General Services Administration,
and some other agencies. For State and
local government, incorporation of information underlying the 1963 and 1967
I-O tables on the industry distribution
of the several functional categories of
purchases serves a similar purpose.

Plan of the discussion.—Postwar
trends and fluctuations in GNP are
taken up first. Next, the components of
production and incomes from pro-

duction are reviewed. This is followed
by a discussion of consumer incomes,
outlays, and saving as shown in the
personal income and outlay account.
Government and foreign transactions
are not reviewed, because, even though

much new light on broad economic

which shows the revised and previously
published current- and constant-dollar
GNP's and the associated implicit
price deflators for 1948-75. The same
conclusion is suggested by table 13, in
which average annual rates of increase
for the series shown in the chart are
calculated for the period as a whole and
for the subperiods 1958-74 and 196374. This table also shows corresponding
rates for a current-dollar GNP that
incorporates only the statistical revisions introduced in this report, and a
current-dollar GNP that incorporates
only the definitional and classificational revisions. The rates of increase of
the two partially adjusted currentdollar measures are closely similar to
those of the previously published measure. Partially adjusted measures for
constant-dollar GNP are not available.
However, the comparison of the currentdollar calculations suggests that neither
the statistical revisions nor the definitional and classificational revisions—
nor the two combined—alter the view
of U.S. economic growth as measured
by real GNP.
Because constant-dollar GNP is calculated by assigning to physical quantities weights that are proportional to
their relative prices in the valuation
period, and because in the long run
there is a negative correlation between
quantity increases and price increases
(in the sense that goods that show the
largest quantity increases tend to show
the smallest price increases), a forward

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

26

shift in the valuation period usually
results in a lower rate of increase in
constant-dollar GNP. Accordingly, it
is somewhat puzzling that the rates of
increase of the new constant-dollar
estimates, which are based on a 1972
valuation period, are not lower than
those of the previously published ones,
which were based on a 1958 valuation
period. In the time available, it was not
possible to investigate whether the
typical relationship was inoperative
over the 1948-74 period, or whether it
was offset by other factors, such as the
improved price information (referred to
in the section on Constant-Dollar Estimates) that is used to calculate constant-dollar GNP.

NOTE.—Measures are in 1972 dollars. Rates of increase are

Table 14 compares the annual rates
of increase of real GNP with those of
the two variants of real output introduced in this report. These are net
national product, which measures output net of capital goods used up in
production, and national income, which
values net output at factor cost instead of market price. The rates of
increase of the two new measures are
closely similar to that of GNP, with
net national product showing a slightly
lower rate. In other words, capital
consumption allowances have in general
increased somewhat faster during the
postwar period than gross investment.
As discussed below, the relationship
between gross investment and capital
consumption allowances is complex,
and an explanation of why their rates
of increase differ is not available. National income has increased a little
faster than net national product; this
implies that the 1972 incidence of
indirect business taxes has been lower
on the goods and services that increased
relatively most rapidly over the period.




Part I January 1976

Cycles
CHART 2

Table 15 shows key characteristics
of each postwar recession and recovery
as measured by the fully revised and
previously published constant-dollar
GNP. As can be seen from the table,
the duration of postwar cycles is
changed in only one instance. The
trough of the recession that followed
the first-quarter 1960 peak is shifted
back one quarter. This shortens the
recession from four to three quarters
and extends the ensuing recovery from
34 to 35 quarters. The revised GNP
generally shows less severe declines
and less vigorous recoveries than the
previously published one. Several factors, which it may be very difficult to
disentangle, are probably at work.
The use of improved price indexes to
convert current-dollar GNP into constant dollars may have mitigated the
amplitude of the fluctuations in
constant-dollar GNP. The revised
methodology for estimating CBI may
have had a similar effect. The forward
shift in the valuation period may have
resulted in the assignment of larger
weights to GNP components that are
relatively stable cyclically. More difficult to test, the tendency, mentioned
above, resulting from the negative
correlation of quantity and price increases may be visible in the short
run, even though over longer periods
it was obliterated by other factors.
This hypothesis is based on the assumption that higher rates of long-term
growth and greater cyclical amplitude
go together, and on further assumptions relating to the timing and duration of cyclical fluctuations in the
components of constant-dollar GNP.
Chart 2 examines in somewhat
greater detail the impact of the revisions
during the recent recession and ongoing recovery. The chart is in the
framework of the accounting equality
according to which GNP equals final
sales plus inventory change; no causal
influences are implied. The first panel
of the chart shows that the recession
that started in the first quarter of
1974 was somewhat less severe according to the revised estimates than
according to the previously published
ones, and that the descent to the trough

in the first quarter of 1975 was smoother.
Through the third quarter, the dimension of the subsequent recovery was
about the same, but smoother according to the revised estimates.
The middle panel of the chart shows
the impact of inventories on GNP.
Upward slopes represent situations
in which inventories are positive factors
in changes in GNP, and downward
slopes represent situations in which
they are negative factors. The chart
shows that both the positive and negative impacts of inventories on changes
in GNP are smaller according to the
revised estimates, and that they are
somewhat smoother. The last panel
suggests conclusions about final sales
that are similar.

Production

PCE.—Revisions in PCE on goods
are downward, and those in PCE on
services are upward throughout the
postwar period. Except in recent years,
when the services revisions increased
rapidly, the two revisions were roughly
offsetting. Definitional and classificational revisions in goods reflect mainly
the reclassification of mobile homes and
landlords' purchases of consumer-type
durables from PCE into PDE. The
definitional and classificational revisions
in services are upward on balance. The
following increased PCE on services:
imputations that accompany the shift
of goods from PCE to PDE; revaluation
of capital consumption allowances of
nonprofit institutions, which are part
of the operating expenses of these
institutions as included in PCE; and
reclassification of the administrative
expenses of privately administered
workmen's compensation funds from
business expense to PCE. PCE on
services is lowered by the shift of
a portion of services furnished without
payment by financial intermediaries
except life insurance carriers from PCE
to government purchases.
Table 16 shows summary results of
the new methodology used in estimating
the vehicles component of PCE and
PDE. As compared with the previous
auto methodology, which assumed a
fixed percentage allocation of new cars
between PCE and PDE, and the same

SUEVEY OF CUERENT BUSINESS

28
fixed percentage for the very abbreviated treatment of used cars, the new
methodology attempts to measure
fluctuations in these flows as they actually occur. The new methodology for
trucks is similar, and replaces the previous assumption that all private purchasers of trucks are business investors.
Among the hitherto unmeasured features of the vehicle markets shown by
the table are the large PCE on trucks

and the large net flow of used cars from
business to persons.
Table 17 presents additional quarterly information on expenditures on
autos. The information in this table confirms that the several flows—PCE and
PDE, new and used—move differently
from each other. In particular, it
appears from a comparison of the percentage changes shown in the table that
PCE on autos is somewhat more stable

than PDE expenditures on autos, and
that PCE on used autos is more stable
than PCE on new autos.
Fixed investment.—Revisions in gross
private nonresidential fixed investment
are negligible, although there are large,
offsetting revisions in the components.
Statistical downward revisions in PDE
are offset by upward revisions in structures. In residential investment, there
are large progressive upward revisions
of a statistical nature. These revisions
are reinforced by the definitional and
classificational revisions, which are the
counterparts of the reclassifications that
were discussed immediately above.
Table 18 shows an array of average
annual rates of increase for gross
private domestic fixed investment and
its components. The revisions in residential investment result in substantially higher current-dollar rates than
those indicated by the previously
published estimates. The rates of increase of nonresidential investment are
essentially unchanged and, because of
the large weight of nonresidential
investment, so are the rates of total
fixed investment. The higher residential rates of increase carry through to
the constant-dollar rates. The constantdollar rates of increase of structures—
residential and nonresidential—are
affected also by the introduction of
improved price indexes to derive
constant-dollar estimates. Reflecting
this improvement, the rates of increase of constant-dollar total fixed
investment are generally revised
upward.
Table 19 compares rates of increase
of gross and net fixed investment.
This comparison has become possible
because of the introduction of economic measures of capital consumption.
The rates shown in the table differ
widely from each other. They do not
follow any obvious pattern except that
the current-dollar rates are higher than
the corresponding constant-dollar ones.
The absence of an obvious pattern is
not surprising, because the relationships that determine the rates of
increase of the net measures are unusually complex. Most immediately,
differences among them are due to
differences between changes in gross

beginning in 1973, and that corporate
profits have been much weaker beginning in the same year. The major source
of the upward revision of employee
compensation is new UI data on wages
and salaries. The downward revision
in corporate profits is due mainly to the
incorporation of IRS data for 1973.
These revisions largely account for
the poorer showing beginning in 1972
of the statistically revised than of the
previously published ratio of corporate
profits to national income (chart 5).
The poorer showing of the ratio in some
earlier years is due to lower estimates of
profits discovered by audit and a more
adequate accounting for foreign trading
losses of U.S.-based multinational
petroleum corporations.

Definitional revisions also affect corporate profits. Most important among
these is the introduction of economic
capital consumption, which has two
elements. The first element is the
adjustment of the service lives and
depreciation formulas that underlie
profits reported for tax purposes to a
consistent basis. Inasmuch as tax reported depreciation charges reflect historical cost, this adjustment results
in a consistent series based on historical
cost. It raises corporate profits throughout the postwar period, and largely
reflects the reduction of tax reported
profits by the liberalization of depreciation charges in 1954, 1962, and 1971.
The second element is the adjustment
of the historical cost series to replace-

ment cost. This adjustment reduces
profits in all years, and more than offsets the influence of the first adjustment from 1948 to 1961 and again in
1974. Another factor affecting profits,
especially important since the late
1960's, is the reclassification of dividends received by noninsured pension
funds from interest into dividends; this
reclassification reduces profits and its
dividends component.
The effects of statistical and definitional and classificational revisions
on undistributed corporate profits—a
measure that is often useful in financial
analysis—are brought out in chart 6.
This chart is in terms of undistributed
corporate profits with IVA, the variant
of undistributed profits that came
closest to an economic measure in the
previously published estimates. The
effect of the introduction of economic
capital consumption on corporate profits
carries through to its undistributed
profits component, and so do the major

As a result, undistributed profits is
lowered in the postwar period through
1961, raised from 1962 through 1972,

Revisions, in connection with compensation of employees and net interest,
the corporate share of these incomes is
revised upward. This upward revision

business, and the share that corporate
product is of GNP. As can be seen from
table 20, the corporate share of GNP
was much higher in 1974 than in 1958
according to the revised estimates;
according to the previously published
estimates it was about the same. The
percent composition of gross domestic
product of nonfinancial corporate business is shown in table 21. The table
shows that the decline in profits relative to compensation of employees was

sharp since 1972—appreciably sharper
than in the previously published estimates. It also shows that the relative
decline in profits and interest combined
was smaller. The latter difference is due
to the large increase in corporate interest payments shown by the revised
estimates for 1973 and 1974. On the
basis of the information now available,
it is impossible to judge whether this
increase is an erratic element, or
whether it is indicative of a persistent
tendency for changes in the two nonlabor components of income originating
in corporate business to offset each
other.

Personal income, outlays, and saving

Until 1971, statistical revisions in
personal income are small, with upward
revisions in wages and salaries, and in
rental income of persons almost offset
by downward revisions in proprietors'
income and interest income. Beginning
in 1971, and particularly in 1974, there
are large upward revisions, mainly due
to wages and salaries. Definitional and
classificational revisions are consistently
downward—large downward revisions
in rental income of persons more than
offsetting upward revisions in some
other items. These revisions in rental
income are due to the introduction of
economic capital consumption. There
are at least two reasons why the
introduction of economic capital consumption has a much larger impact on
this income than on other profit-type
incomes. First, the adjustment to
consistent accounting for service lives
and depreciation formulas, which partly
offset the effect of the revaluation to a
replacement cost basis, is not applicable to rental income of persons. Second,
because the service lives of residential
structures are much longer than those
of PDE, the excess of replacement cost
over historical cost in times of rising
prices is much larger for residential
structures than for the mix of capital
goods used by business.
Inasmuch as revisions in personal
taxes and in consumer outlays other
than PCE are generally small, the
revisions in personal income and PCE
largely explain the revisions in saving
as a percentage of disposable personal

Part I January 1976

income (chart 7). As can be seen from
the chart, the statistical revisions
generally raise the saving rate. The
definitional and classificational revisions
lower it substantially throughout the
period, because, in effect, they convert
large amounts of net saving into
capital consumption allowances.
Saving and investment

Some of the discussion has dealt with
new information on the various types
of saving that are the ultimate sources
of the finance of investment. The points
that were made are integrated below
by reference to the several saving entries in the gross savings and investment
account.
Two definitional and classificational
revisions have major impacts on the
saving entries. The first is the reclassification of mobile homes and of consumer
type durables purchased by landlords
from PCE into investment. This reclassification necessarily increases capital consumption allowances. Its effect
on net saving, that is, saving after allowance for the consumption of fixed
capital, depends on whether the magnitude of the items reclassified exceeds
or falls short of capital consumption
on the stocks of these items. In practice, gross investment in these items has
generally exceeded capital consumption
in the period covered by the NIPA's,
and net saving is increased as a result
of the reclassification.
The other definitional and classificational revision that affects the entries
in the gross saving and investment
account is the introduction of economic
capital consumption, which has two
elements. The first element—the introduction of consistent service lives and
depreciation formulas—affects corporate profits, as noted above, and proprietor's income. The upward revisions
in these incomes carry through to undistributed corporate profits and personal saving. The second element—the
introduction of replacement cost valuation—affects not only corporate profits
and proprietors' income but also rental
income of persons. It reduced these
incomes, and this reduction also carries
through to undistributed corporate
profits and personal saving. The net
effect of the two elements is to lower




SURVEY OF CUREENT BUSINESS
personal saving throughout the postwar
period; the net effect on undistributed
corporate profits is the same as on corporate profits (explained above). These
effects on net saving are offset by opposite effects on capital consumption'
allowances.
These points are brought out in table
22. The "total" column of the table
sums the definitional and classification
revisions in the several saving categories. The remaining sections of the
table show these revisions separately for
each. Where applicable, the revisions

33

are further subdivided into those stemming from the introduction of economic
capital consumption and from the reclassification of mobile homes and
landlords' purchases of consumer-type
durables. (The "other" column for
undistributed corporate profits consists
of some definitional changes that are
not germane to the subject under
discussion—for instance, the changed
treatment of the loss carryback on
Federal corporate income taxes.) As
just demonstrated, the effect of the
introduction of economic capital conCHART 7

sumption on undistributed corporate
profits and personal saving is exactly
offset by its effect on capital consumption allowances. The effect of the
reclassification of PCE items into
investment is the sum of the capital
consumption allowances, undistributed
profits, and personal saving entries.
The last two measure the amount by
which gross investment on the reclassified items exceeds the capital
consumption allowances on their stocks.
The effects of the major statistical
revisions in income and product flows
on undistributed corporate profits and
personal saving are shown in table 23.
In the last three years, these revisions
result in reductions in undistributed
corporate profits and in closely similar
increases in personal saving. The table
also shows that a major factor in the

former is the downward revision in
corporate profits, and the major factor
in the latter is the upward revision
in wages and salaries and other labor
income.

DEFINITIONS OF NIPA ENTRIES
Income and product aggregates are
defined below, and their definitions are
amplified by definitions of their components. Aspects of the aggregates and
their components that are not apparent
from their titles are emphasized. The
definitions provided in earlier national
income and product (NIP) reports are
reformulated to take into account the
revisions introduced in this report and
also, in many instances, to make the
definitions more useful.

Part I January 1976

The definitions are presented in the
framework of the five-account summary
of the national income and product accounts (NIPA's) shown above in table
A. Entries in a given account have counterentries in another. The parenthetical
numbers that follow entries identify
these counterentries by account and
line number. In general, entries are defined below in the sequence in which
they appear in the accounts. Their
definition is not repeated when the
counterentries appear, but a crossreference is made to the place of their
first appearance. The definitions of
GNP, national income, and some other
production aggregates can be found in
the first two sections below, which define the entries in the NIP account.

used goods, and excludes sales and purchases of land and financial assets.

NIP account: gross national product

NIP account: charges against gross
national product

GNP is the market value of the goods
and services produced by labor and
property supplied by residents of the
United States, before deduction of depreciation charges and other allowances
for business and institutional consumption of fixed capital goods. Other products charged to expense by business are
deducted. GNP comprises the purchases of goods and services by persons
and government, gross private domestic
investment (including the change in
business inventories), and net exports
(exports less imports).
Personal consumption expenditures
(1-26) is goods and services purchased
by individuals, operating expenses of
nonprofit institutions, and the value of
food, fuel, clothing, rent of dwellings,
and financial services received in kind
by individuals. Net purchases of used
goods are also included. All private purchases of dwellings are classified as gross
private domestic investment.
Gross private domestic investment (130) is fixed capital goods purchased by
private business and nonprofit institutions, and the value of the change in
the physical volume of inventories held
by private business. The former include
all private purchases of dwellings,
whether purchased for tenant or owner
occupancy. Net purchases of used goods
are also included.
Net exports oj goods and services (1-38
and 1-39) is exports less imports of
goods and services. Exports are part of
national production. Imports are not,
but are included in the components of
GNP, and are therefore deducted. There
are differences between the NIPA measures of exports and imports and those
in the detailed balance of payments
accounts.
Government purchases of goods and
services (1-40) is the compensation of
government employees and purchases
from business and from abroad. It excludes transfer payments, interest paid
by government, and subsidies. It includes gross investment by government
enterprises, but excludes their current
outlays. It includes net purchases of

Charges against GNP is the costs
incurred and the profits earned in the
production of GNP. Accordingly, it
equals GNP, except for the statistical
discrepancy. In the NIPA's, these
charges are arranged in two groups.
The first of these—compensation of
employees, proprietors' income, rental
income of persons, corporate profits,
and net interest—are factor charges,
because they represent the incomes of
the factors of production (labor and
property). The total of factor incomes
is called the national income. The
second group consists of nonfactor
charges. Addition of business transfers,
indirect business taxes, and current
surplus of government enterprises less
subsidies—which are included in this
group—to national income equals
charges against net national product
(and net national product). Addition
of capital consumption allowances—
the remaining item in the nonfactor
cost group—to charges against net
national product equals, in principle,
charges against GNP (and GNP). In
practice, a statistical discrepancy is
also entered to secure balance between
GNP and the factor and nonfactor
charges against it.
The aggregates that have been enumerated so far differ from each other
because of distinctions that are made
between market value and factor cost
concepts, and gross and net concepts.
GNP as derived above is a gross market value measure; national income is a
net factor cost measure; and net national product is a net market value
measure. One further basic distinction
can be made in defining the value of
production. This is the distinction between domestic measures and national
measures. The former denote the production attributable to labor and property located in a country; the latter
denote the production attributable to
labor and property supplied by residents of a country. The national measures exceed the domestic measures by
the net inflow of labor and property
incomes from abroad. In principle,




35
eight measures of production can be
derived from these three distinctions.
In practice, only some of them are used.
In the United States, the following have
been found most useful: GNP, which
has already been defined, and gross
domestic product, net national product,
and national income, which are defined
below.
Gross domestic product is the market
value of the goods and services produced by labor and property located in
the United States. It equals GNP less
the net inflow of labor and property
incomes from abroad.
Net national product is the net market
value of the goods and services produced by labor and property supplied
by residents of the United States.
Net national product equals GNP less
capital consumption allowances, which
are deducted from gross private domestic fixed investment to express it on a
net basis.
National income is the incomes that
originate in the production of goods and
services attributable to labor and property supplied by residents of the United
States. Thus, it measures the factor
costs of the goods and services produced.
Incomes are recorded in the forms in
which they accrue to residents, and are
measured before deduction of taxes on
those incomes. They consist of the compensation of employees, proprietors'
income, rental income of persons, corporate profits, and net interest.
Compensation of employees is the
income accruing to employees as remuneration for their work. It is the sum of
wages and salaries and supplements to
wages and salaries.
Wages and salaries consists of the
monetary remuneration of employees,
including the compensation of corporate
officers; commissions, tips, and bonuses;
and receipts in kind that represent
income to the recipients. It consists of
disbursements (1-3) and wage accruals
less disbursements (1-4). Disbursements
is wages and salaries as just defined
except that retroactive wages are
counted when paid rather than when
earned.
Supplements to wages and salaries
consists of employer contributions for
social insurance and of other labor
income. Employer contributions for social

36
insurance (1-6) includes employer payments under the following programs:
Federal old-age, survivors, disability,
and hospital insurance; State unemployment insurance; railroad retirement
and unemployment insurance; government retirement; and publicly administered workmen's compensation. Other
labor income (1-7) includes employer
contributions to private pension and
welfare funds, and directors' fees.
Proprietors' income with inventory
valuation and capital consumption adjustments (1-8) is the monetary income
and income in kind of sole proprietorships and partnerships, including the
independent professions, and of producers' cooperatives. Interest and
dividend income received by proprietors, and rental incomes received by
persons who are not primarily engaged
in the real estate business are excluded.
The inventory valuation adjustment is
described under corporate profits and
the capital consumption adjustment,
under capital consumption allowances.
Rental income oj persons with capital
consumption adjustment (1-9) is the
monetary income of persons from the
rental of real property, except the
income of persons primarily engaged in
the real estate business; the imputed
net rental income of owner-occupants
of nonfarm dwellings; and the royalties
received by persons from patents, copyrights, and rights to natural resources.
The capital consumption adjustment is
described under capital consumption
allowances.
Corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments
is the income of corporations organized
for profit and of mutual financial institutions that accrues to residents,
measured before profits taxes, before
deduction of depletion charges, after
exclusion of capital gains and losses,
and net of dividends received from
domestic corporations. In addition to
profits earned in domestic operations,
corporate profits includes net receipts
of dividends and branch profits from
abroad. In other major respects, profits
are defined in accordance with Federal
income tax regulations. The capital
consumption adjustment is described
under capital consumption allowances.




SUEVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Profits before tax is corporate profits
without inventory valuation and capital
consumption adjustments.
Profits tax liability (1-12) is
Federal, State, and local taxes on
corporate income.
Profits after tax is profits before tax
less profits tax liability. Dividends
(1-14) is cash dividends paid by corporations organized for profit to stockholders who are U.S. persons. Undistributed profits (1-15) is corporate
profits before tax less corporate profits
tax liability and less dividends. It
equals the change in corporate net
worth stemming from current operations. It may also be viewed as the sum
of purchases of fixed assets, the change
in the book value of corporate inventories, and the net acquisition of
financial assets, less the sum of capital
consumption allowances, net borrowing,
and net stock issues.
Inventory valuation adjustment (116) is the change in the business inventories component of GNP (CBI), which
is measured as the change in the physical volume of inventories valued in
prices of the current period, less the
change in the value of inventories
reported by business (book value).
The IVA is required because, according
to the inventory accounting methods
used by business, the change in book
values generally differs from the CBI.
Measurement of inventory change as
physical volume change valued in prices
of the current period conforms its treatment to that of all other components of
GNP. An alternative definition of the
IVA as the excess of the replacement
cost of inventories used up over their
historical acquisition cost is often helpful. That this definition is equivalent to
the definition stated above follows from
the fact that, according to all methods
of inventory valuation used by business,
inventory purchases in an accounting
period are reflected in book values in
the prices of that accounting period.
To make the measurement of charges
against GNP consistent with GNP, the
IVA must be applied to reported corporate profits and proprietors' income,
because these are based on the same
accounting methods that underlie the
book value of inventories.

Part I January 1976
Net interest (1-18) is interest paid by
domestic business less interest received
by it, plus net interest received from
abroad. In addition to monetary interest flows, net interest includes flows
of interest in kind (imputed interest).
The latter have their counterparts in
similar service charges. The portion of
the imputed interest flows that is allocated to consumers and government
is a component of net interest and the
associated service charges are included
in PCE and government purchases.
Business transfer payments (1-20)
includes corporate gifts to nonprofit institutions and bad debts incurred by
consumers. Most of PCE is stated
before deduction of consumer bad
debts; corporate profits and proprietors' income are stated after allowance for bad debts. Accordingly,
bad debts have to be entered explicitly
among the charges against GNP. They
are entered as a component of business
transfer payments because, like gifts,
they fit into the general category of
transfer payments, which are defined
as payments to persons for which the
latter do not perform current services.
Indirect business tax and nontax
liability (1-21) consists of tax liabilities
(except employer contributions for
social insurance) that are chargeable to
business expense in the calculation of
profit-type incomes, and of certain
other business liabilities to general
government that it is convenient to
treat like taxes. Indirect business taxes
includes sales, excise, and property
taxes. Taxes on corporate income are
excluded because such taxes cannot
be calculated until profits are known,
and in that sense, are not a business
expense. Nontaxes includes regulatory
and inspection fees, special assessments, fines and penalties, rents and
royalties, and donations. Nontaxes
generally excludes business purchases
from government of goods and services
that are similar to business purchases
of intermediate products from other
businesses. Government receipts from
the sale of such products are netted
against government purchases so that
they do not appear in GNP and other
measures of production.

Part I January 1976

Subsidies less current surplus oj government enterprises (1-22). Subsidies is
the monetary grants paid by government to business, including government enterprises at another level of
government. The current surplus oj
government enterprises is their sales
receipts less their current outlays. In
the calculation of their current surplus, no deduction is made for depreciation charges and net interest paid.
Subsidies and current surplus are often
combined because government enterprises may incur deficits by selling
goods to businesses at lower than market prices in lieu of giving them subsidies. This is also the major reason for
not counting the current surplus of
government enterprises as a profit-type
income and, accordingly, as part of
factor charges.
Statistical discrepancy (1-23) is GNP
less charges against GNP other than
the statistical discrepancy. It arises
because GNP and charges against
GNP are estimated independently by
a methodology that is subject to error.
Capital consumption allowances with
capital consumption adjustment (1-25).
Capital consumption allowances consists of depreciation charges and accidental damage to fixed business capital. For nonfarm business, they are as
reported on Federal income tax returns.
For farms, nonprofit institutions, and
owner-occupied houses, depreciation
charges are not based on income tax
returns, but instead are NIP calculations. Capital consumption adjustment
(1-17) is the tax return-based capital
consumption allowances less capital
consumption allowances that are based
on estimates of economic service lives,
straight-line depreciation, and replacement cost.

and private noninsured pension funds
are not counted as persons, but their
saving is credited to persons. Personal
income is the sum of wage and salary
disbursements, other labor income, proprietors' income, rental income of persons,
dividends, personal interest income,
and transfer payments, less personal
contributions for social insurance.

Personal interest income is the interest

It is the sum of net interest (see 118), plus interest paid by government

interest paid to government (2-15) plus
interest paid by consumers to business
(2-16). The last item consists of all
interest paid by individuals in their
capacity as consumers, and accordingly
excludes interest payments on mortgages and home improvement loans,
because homeowners are treated as
businesses in the NIPA's. The derivation of personal interest income can be
explained as follows. Net interest equals
interest paid by producers (that is,
business and U.S. residents supplying labor and property services to
abroad) to persons and government less
interest received by producers from
consumers and government. It therefore falls short of interest received by

p Preliminary.
1. On February 18, 1974, the U.S. Government granted to India $2,010 million (quarterly
rate) in rupees under provisions of the Agricultural Trade Development and Adjustment
Act. This transaction is being treated as capital grants paid to foreigners in the national income
and product accounts but as current unilateral transfers in the balance of payments accounts.
Accordingly, this transaction is excluded from Federal Government transfers to foreigners
and related totals shown in tables 11, 15, and 16, and is included in the first quarter of 1974
as -$8.0 billion (annual rate) in capital grants received by the U.S. shown in tables 11 and 16.

CURRENT BUSINESS STATISTICS

JLHE STATISTICS here update series published in the 1973 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, biennial statistical supplement to the SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (available from the Superintendent of Documents for $6.80) provides a description of each series, references
to sources of earlier figures, and historical data as follows: For all series, monthly or quarterly, 1969 through 1972 (1962-72 for major quarterly
series), annually, 1947-72; for selected series, monthly or quarterly, 1947-72 (where available). Series added or significantly revised after the 1973
BUSINESS STATISTICS went to press are indicated by an asterisk (*) and a dagger (t), respectively; certain revisions for 1972 issued too late for
inclusion in the 1973 volume appear in the monthly SURVEY beginning with the August 1973 issue. Also, unless otherwise noted, revised monthly
data for periods not shown herein corresponding to revised annual data are available upon request.
The sources of the data are given in the 1973 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS; they appear in the main descriptive note for each series, and
are also listed alphabetically on pages 189-90. Statistics originating in Government agencies are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely.
Data from private sources are provided through the courtesy of the compilers, and are subject to their copyrights.

{Effective with the Oct. 1975 SURVEY, all establishment (payroll) employment, hours,
earnings, and labor turnover reflect the periodic adjustment of these data to more recent
benchmarks (Mar. 1974) and to revised seasonal factors. Data back to Jan. 1970 are subject
to revision. The Oct. 1975 EMPLOYMENT AND EARNINGS (BLS) provides monthly data back
to 1970 for many of the series published in the SURVEY.

ONOTE FOR P. S-16: In accordance with the 1975 Tax Reduction Act (effective May 1,
1975), new formulas have been constructed for the period May-Dec. 1975 for calculating spendable earnings. Therefore, the entire reduction in 1975 taxes is accounted for in the period
May-Dec. 1975. The 4.7% increase from Apr. to May 1975 in real spendable earnings reilests a
.1% increase in real weekly earnings plus a 4.670 decrease in the average tax effect (the change
in avg. soc. security/federal income tax rates for worker with 3 dependents who earned the
aver, weekly earnings).

NOTES FOR P.S-24—a Beginning 1975 (and restated year-ago period), data reflect changes
in accounting to include provision for deferred taxes and other changes. For general comparison
under former accounting method, net railway operating income for 1st qtr. 1975 is about $18
mil. lower (and for 1st qtr. 1974, about $41 mil. lower); for motor carriers, net income
for 1st
b
qtr. 1975 is about $3.2 mil. lower (and for 1st qtr. 1974, about $1.8 mil. lower).
Effective
1974, comparison of operating revenues and expenses with prior periods is affected by revised
reporting regulations. Beginning 1974, other transport-related revenues and expenses are
reported gross in operating revenues and in expenses rather than as net in operating revenues.
For the year 1974, for total certificated route carriers, this reporting change had the effect of
increasing operating revenues by 2.5% and expenses by 2.7%.

tinued prices for the former specification. The index shown is developed from revenue and
volume data collected directly from petroleum companies. The pricing formerly was based
on spot quotations in trade journals, which over the past year have come to represent a
decreasing portion of domestic transactions. Because of the time required to collect the new
data there will be a one-month lag in pricing; e.g. the May index reflects changes in prices
from Mar. to Apr. Except for gasoline, (p. S-35) comparable data prior to April 1973 are
available upon request.
