expenditures for gasoline declined due
to shortages. Over the quarters since
the fourth quarter of 1978, the price of
energy has been an important factor in
the reduction of energy consumption.
Employment as measured by the
household survey increased 430,000 in
the fourth quarter (table 3). The increase in the labor force was somewhat
larger, and unemployment and the unemployment rate increased a little, the
latter by 0.1 percentage points to 5.9
percent. According to the establishment
survey, nonfarm payroll employment
increased 410,000. Employment in services and trade accounted for most of the

quarter, these expenditures returned to

increase. Employment in durables manufacturing was down; a large part of
the decline was in transportation equipment. The average workweek was up
0.1 to 35.7 hours; the manufacturing
workweek was unchanged.
From the fourth quarter of 1978 to
the fourth quarter of 1979, employment
increased 2.0 million according to the
household survey—a substantial increase although much less than the 3.5
million increase that had occurred over
the preceding four quarters. According
to the establishment survey, the 1979
employment increase was 2.4 million,

and government increased very little1—
0. 1 and 0.2 million, respectively. Employment in construction was up
sharply—0.3 million—despite a decline
in construction activity; employment
and activity data in this industry are
often difficult to reconcile. Employment in the distributive and service
industries increased 0.7 and 1.0 million,
respectively.
Prices.—GNP prices as measured by
the fixed-weighted price index increased
10 percent at an annual rate in the
fourth quarter—about the same as in
the earlier quarters of the year (table 4).
About 0.8 percentage points of the
fourth-quarter increase was due to the
pay raise for Federal employees, which
is reflected in the index because it represents an increase in the prices of the
services of employees purchased by the
Federal Government. Excluding the
effect of the pay raise, prices increased a
little less than in the third quarter.
Prices paid by consumers and by

private investors in equipment and
structures (residential and nonresidential) both increased somewhat less in
the fourth quarter than in the third.
For PCE prices, a substantial deceleration in prices of PCE for energy
more than offset accelerations in the
prices of PCE for food and for other
goods and services. PCE energy prices
increased at an annual rate of 27 percent, compared with 65 percent in the
third quarter. Each of the PCE energy
categories—gasoline and oil, fuel oil
and coal, electricity, and natural gas—
decelerated, but the major factor was
the price of gasoline, which increased
34 percent, compared with about 75
percent in the second and third quarters. Two major factors contributed to
the deceleration in gasoline. First, most
of the July 1 OPEC price increase had
been passed through in the third quarter. Second, upward pressure on prices
had been reduced by the establishment
on August 1 by the Department of
Energy of a maximum allowable gross
margin on retail gasoline sales. The
maximum margin replaced the "banking" provision, which had allowed retailers to increase prices to compensate
for sales made when competitive conditions prevented them from passing
through increased costs. The effect of
these factors was partly offset by that
of several others. First, most individual

OPEC and non-OPEC countries increased prices in the fourth quarter.
Second, several kinds of actions put
upward pressure on oil prices: Prepayments for crude oil bought under contract were introduced and credit terms
were tightened by oil exporters; producers reduced exports; and supplies
were diverted to the spot market. Some
but not all of the effects of these two
factors were reflected in fourth-quarter
gasoline prices. Finally, gasoline supplies remained tight, as evidenced by a
contraseasonal fourth-quarter decline in
the average level of primary stocks—
that is, at refineries, in pipelines, and
at major bulk terminals. A U.S. embargo on Iranian oil was announced
November 12, but it had little effect on
fourth-quarter gasoline prices; preembargo oil was processed until late in the
quarter.

third-quarter declines in the prices of in food price increases.

Cost-price relationships and profits.—
Further information on factors underlying price developments can be obtained from table 5, which covers the
business economy other than farm and
housing.2 Probably most interesting is
the continued poor performance of productivity. According to the measure
shown—real product per hour—productivity declined 1 percent in 1979, following several years of poor performance.
A substantial slowdown in productivity
growth occurred after 1973; in 1965-73,
productivity had increased about 2 percent yearly. Hourly compensation increased about 9 percent in 1979. In
combination with the decline in productivity, the increase in hourly compensation resulted in a very large
increase—10% percent—in unit labor
costs, which, in turn, continued to exert
upward pressure on prices.
It is difficult to explain the difference
between the 9-percent increase in hourly
compensation and the administration's
pay standard for 1979, which limited
the increase in hourly wages and private
fringe benefits to 7 percent; differences
in the pay measure used and in the
groups and time periods covered as well
2. The measure of real gross product in this table is, in
essence, derived as the sum of incomes, i.e., it excludes the
residual, which is the constant-dollar counterpart of the
statistical discrepancy. As a result, the quarterly changes in
real gross product shown in this table differ from those
measures of real gross product that are derived as the sum
of products, such as GNP. In 1979, the difference between
the two kinds of measures was particularly large in the
third quarter.

as some lack of compliance were probably involved. However, it is likely that
the proposed pay standard for 1980,
which establishes a 7K-9K-percent
range, is compatible with some step-up
in the increase in hourly compensation.
Similar measures of productivity,
hourly compensation, and unit costs for
nonfinancial corporations make it possible to throw some light on recent
developments in corporate profits (with
inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments). Chart 3 shows
that unit profits flattened in 1979,
following increases from their cyclical
low in 1974. However, with a further
increase in real product, total profits
were higher in 1979 than in 1978,
although the 1979 increase was smaller.

crease was mainly due to hourly earnings; aggregate hours changed little. In
other private industries, both aggregate
hours and hourly earnings increased. In
government, $3K billion of the fourthquarter increase was due to the pay
raise for Federal employees.
Farm proprietors' income declined
in the fourth quarter, as it had in the
second and in the third. In the fourth
quarter, cash receipts from marketings
were down, and expenses increased due
to the higher costs of a variety of items
used in production. The decline in
marketings was mainly due to crops,
for which prices declined; livestock
marketings were unchanged, as a decline
in volume was about offset by an increase in prices. In transfer payments,
an $11% billion deceleration reflected
the third-quarter cost-of-living increases in benefits paid under social
security and several other Federal programs. Personal interest income, which
is included in "other income" in the
tabulation, increased much more than

extraordinary low of 3.3 percent in the

the changes in outlays exceeded those (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the

third quarter to 9.9 million in the fourth.
All of the decline was in sales of domestic cars, which fell from 8.6 million to
7.5 million. Sales of imports increased
0.2 to 2.4 million, and reached a record
24 percent of total unit sales.
The pattern of sales of domestic cars
differed somewhat among size categories (chart 4). Intermediate car sales
dropped from 2.8 million in the third
quarter to 2.2 million in the fourth.
Full-size car sales were also off sharply,
from 2.2 million to 1.9 million. In the
third quarter, sales of these large cars
had been boosted by extensive dealer
incentive and consumer rebate programs. These programs were discontinued in October and reinstated in
November, but sales did not pick up,
indicating that some third-quarter sales
had been "borrowed" from the fourth.
Small car sales, in contrast, were down
only slightly in the fourth quarter, from
3.6 million to 3.5 million. Together,
domestic small cars and imports accounted for 59 percent of total unit
sales, up from 54 percent in the third
quarter.

quarter (table 8). The swing was largely
in motor vehicles. In the third quarter,
sales of motor vehicles had increased,
due to autos. In the fourth quarter,
sales of both autos and trucks declined.
Other nonresidential fixed investment
increased less in the fourth quarter than
in the third. A weakening in this investment in the second half of the year was
due to the equipment component.

Real residential investment declined
10 percent at an annual rate in the
fourth quarter. Declines had been
registered in each quarter of the year.
However, earlier declines had been
smaller except in the first quarter, when

were 12K percent below the third
quarter and about 20 percent below the
2 million plateau in 1977 and 1978
(chart 5). Both single-family and multifamily starts contributed to the decline
in October and November. In December, a further drop in multifamily
starts was offset by a pick-up in singlefamily starts.
High and rising interest rates have
been a major factor in the recent
CHART 6 weakening of starts. Mortgage interest
rates had moved up throughout the
year, and following the Federal Reserve Board's credit-tightening actions
on October 6, the full spectrum of
interest rates increased sharply.4 The
prime rate, to which the interest rate
on construction loans is tied, reached a
record 15.75 percent before falling to
15.25 percent at the end of year (chart 6).
The average interest rate on commitments for conventional new home mortgages increased over 100 basis points
from about 11 percent in the third
quarter. This record increase brought
interest rates to levels approaching or
exceeding usury ceilings in some States.
At the end of the year, 14 States had
fixed usury ceilings at or below 12
percent. However, Federal legislation
enacted at the end of the year allows
banks and other mortgage loan originators to make residential mortgage
loans at rates exceeding a State's usury
ceiling through March 31, 1980.
The slowing of savingsflowsinto thrift
institutions—savings and loan associations and mutual savings banks—was
another factor contributing to the weakness
in residential investment. Inflows
I til I Ml 1
of net new money, that is, new deposits
received minus withdrawals and interest, slowed over the year, and in October and November there were small
net outflows. As net inflows slackened,
thrifts relied increasingly on alternative
sources of funds to mitigate the impact
of the slackening inflows on the extension of mortgage credit. The alternative
sources included advances from the

« On that date, the Federal Reserve Board announced
three actions designed to curb inflation: (1) an increase in the
discount rate, from 11 percent to a record 12 percent; (2)
establishment of marginal reserve requirements on increases
in "managed liabilities"; and (3) a change to place greater
emphasis in day-to-day operations on the supply of bank
reserves and less on the Federal funds rate.

of mortgages in the secondary market,
and increases in other borrowings (which
include issues of mortgage-backed
bonds). Nevertheless, mortgage commitments have receded since their peak
in the fourth quarter of 1978; an extraordinarily large decline—$3 billion—
occurred in November.
Real inventory investment was less
in the fourth quarter than in the third—
$3 billion, compared with $7 billion.
Inventories other than motor vehicles
more than accounted for this decline;
motor vehicle inventories continued to
be reduced in the fourth quarter, but
at a lower rate than in the third. Inventories of domestic cars, in terms of
units, fell to 1,591,000 (seasonally adjusted) from 1,693,000 at the end of the
third quarter. Carryover of 1979 models
continued to be a larger than normal
portion of car inventories. Despite the
reduction in inventories, the inventorysales ratio for domestic cars increased
from 2.35 in the third quarter to 2.54—
well above the 2.0 considered normal.
The decline in the rate of investment
in inventories other than motor vehicles
is traceable to swings from accumulation to decumulation in manufacturing
nondurables and trade durables. As
usual, it is difficult to interpret inventory movements, because they are often
erratic and because source data are
inadequate.
Chart 7 provides a broader view of
inventory developments by relating
inventories to total business final sales
and to business final sales of goods and
structures. Analytical use of the former
relationship implies that the production
of services results in a demand for
inventories that is similar to that
generated by the production of goods
and structures. Use of the latter implies that the production of services
does not generate demand for inventories. Both implications are extremes.
In 1978, both ratios declined. The
levels to which they fell in the fourth
quarter were, respectively, below 1968
and above 1968, a period that is often
considered normal. In the first and
second quarters of 1979, the ratios increased substantially, as inventories
increased while final sales were flat or
declined. In the third and fourth
quarters, as final sales increased

Real government purchases increased
more in the fourth quarter than in the
third—4K percent at an annual rate,
compared with 1 percent (table 10).
State and local purchases changed little
after a 3-percent increase in the third
quarter. The step-up was in Federal
purchases, and was more than accounted for by the Commodity Credit
Corporation's agricultural price support
operations. In the third quarter, loan
redemptions, which are treated as negative Government purchases in the
national income and product accounts
(NIPA's), had been unusually large as
farmers, in response to higher market
prices, withdrew crops—especially corn
and wheat—previously placed under
loan. Redemptions continued in the
fourth quarter, but at a much lower
rate than in the third.

a swing of $10 billion, and the $3%
billion pay raise. Other expenditures
more than offset the step-up in purchases. The largest deceleration was in
transfer payments, which in the third
quarter had been raised by cost-ofliving increases that amounted to $11K
billion. Receipts will increase about as
much as in the third quarter, as a somewhat larger increase in personal taxes
is likely to offset a smaller increase in
corporate profit tax accruals, for which
reliable estimates are not yet available.
As a result of these changes in expenditures and receipts, the Federal deficit
on a NIPA basis is likely to remain close
to the $11^ billion registered in the
third quarter.

1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventories
calculated from current-dollar inventories shown in this table is not the current-dollar change
in business inventories (CBI) components of GNP. The former is the difference between two
inventory stocks, each valued at end-of-quarter prices. The latter is the change in the physical
volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. In addition, changes calculated
from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at annual rates.
3. Equals ratio of nonfarm inventories to final sales of business. These sales include a small
amount of final sales by farms.

NOTE.—Table 27: The implicit price deflator for G N P is a weighted average of the detailed
price indexes used in the deflation of G N P . In each period, the weights are based on the
composition of constant-dollar output in that period. In other words, the price index for each
item is weighted by the ratio of the quantity of the item valued in 1972 prices to the total
output in 1972 prices. Changes in the implicit price deflator reflect both changes in prices and
changes in the composition of output. The chain price index uses as weights the composition
of output in the prior period, and, therefore, reflects only the change in prices between the
two periods. However, comparisons of percent changes in the chain index also reflect changes
in the composition of output. The fixed-weighted price index uses as weights the composition
of output in 1972. Accordingly, comparison over any timespan reflect only changes in prices.

(table 2).2 This information indicates
that real spending increased 4H-5}_
percent in 1979 and implies an increase
in planned real spending in 1980 of 1-2
percent.
For the 10 years that the NovemberDecember surveys have been taken,
actual year-to-year changes in spending
have deviated from planned changes by
less than 1% percentage points in 6 of
these years (chart 9). Plans significantly
overstated the spending increases in the
recession years 1970 and 1975—3.8 and
4.3 percentage points, respectively. In
1978 and 1979, plans understated increases by 2.6 and 3.5 percentage
points. There are many uncertainties
about the economic outlook for 1980,

"What are your best estimates of average price changes
from 1978 to 1979 and expected price changes from 1979 to
1980:
"a. Prices paid by your company for new construction,
machinery, and equipment,
"b. Prices of goods and/or services sold by your company."
Similar information was obtained in the corresponding
annual surveys conducted since 1970. The companies' responses on capital goods and sales price changes were weighted
by their reported capital expenditures and sales, respectively

and it is not known to what extent these
uncertainties are reflected in investment plans. However, if there were a
recession in 1980, as is quite possible,
investment plans would probably be
scaled down.
Manufacturing industries plan spending of $89.5 billion, 14% percent more
than in 1979; the 1979 increase was
16 percent. All major manufacturing
industries plan increases in 1980. The
largest increases are planned by aircraft, 29 percent; paper, 23 percent;
and electrical machinery, 20 percent.
Increases between 16 and 18 percent
are planned by nonelectrical machinery,
iron and steel, and petroleum. Increases between 13 and 15 percent are
planned by textiles, stone-clay-glass,
nonferrous metals, and "other durables." The year-to-year changes in
investment programs of nonferrous
metals, textiles, and petroleum show
more strength than last year; changes
in the programs of the machinery and
transportation groups, paper, chemicals,
and "other nondurables" show less
strength.




Nonmanufacturing industries plan
spending of $106.2 billion, 8}£ percent
more than in 1979; last year, their
spending increased 14 percent. All nonmanufacturing industries except mining
plan smaller increases this year than
last. The largest increases for 1980 are
planned by mining, 17 percent; "other
transportation," 14^ percent; and railroads, 13 percent. The "communications and commercial" group plans a
10-percent increase. Electric and gas
utilities plan increases of 3K percent;
last year, electric utilities increased
their spending almost 14 percent. Airlines plan a 3-percent increase; these
firms increased spending more than 40
percent in 1978 and 1979.

State and Local Government Fiscal Position in 1979
JL HE State and local government
surplus on a national income and product accounting (NIPA) basis was
$24.4 billion in 1979, down $3 billion
from the surplus in 1978. The decline
was the result of a deceleration in the
growth of receipts; at 7 percent, growth
was the lowest since 1954. A deceleration in spending growth limited
the decline in the surplus.
The decline in the surplus reflected
a $3^ billion increase in the surplus of
social insurance funds and a swing of
$6% billion from surplus to deficit in
other funds. This swing resulted mainly
from tax reductions that became law
in 1978 and 1979. The largest of these
was the reduction in local government
property taxes under California's Proposition 13; numerous other changes involved personal income and general
sales taxes. Taxpayers' concern about
the effects of inflation on them was
probably the prime motive for these reductions. The vote for Proposition 13
reflected taxpayers' concern that inflation-generated increases in property
values were precursors of rising property taxes. Several States introduced indexing techniques intended to sever
the relationship between inflation in
incomes and increasing effective tax
rates on these incomes.
Receipts

State and local government receipts
increased 7 percent in 1979, compared
with 11 percent in 1978 and 11% percent in 1977 (table 1). Deceleration
occured in all major receipts categories
except corporate profits tax accruals,
which increased 15 percent in both
1978 and 1979.
Growth of general own-source receipts—that is, personal tax and nontax
receipts, corporate profits tax accruals,




and indirect business tax and nontax
accruals—decelerated, as it had also
in the 2 preceding years (chart 10).
Law changes were responsible for the
deceleration in 1978; slower personal
income growth and a decline in gasoline
usage were responsible in 1979.
Personal tax and nontax receipts increased 9 percent, down from 13 percent in 1978. Income taxes, their largest
component, increased only 6K percent,
down from 15 percent. Income tax law
changes in 1979, coupled with the effects
of 1978 legislation (especially in California and New York), reduced personal
tax growth by 3% percentage points in
1979 and 1% points in 1978.
Most of the income tax law changes
involved more than simple rate reductions. A number included indexation
in some form. Arguments for indexation, which is more widely used abroad
than in the United States, start from

the observation that, given a progressive income tax structure, increases in
dollar incomes give rise to increased
effective tax rates. As a result, the proportion of total income retained by taxpayers declines, and the proportion
received by government as tax revenue
increases. If inflation is the source of
the dollar increase in income, taxpayers
suffer a loss of real income. Proponents
of indexation argue that such a redistribution of real income should be
the result of conscious legislative decision, rather than the unintended effects
of the tax structure.
Under indexation, any or all three of
the determinants of tax liability that
are stated in dollar amounts—personal
exemptions and deductions as well as
tax rate brackets—are adjusted, i.e.,
indexed, to reflect changes in the price
level. For example, in Arizona, each
year the value of personal exemptions

in the months when settlements occur.
If, to prevent this, withholding is set to
put the entire year's reduction in
liability into the part of the year
remaining after the tax cut, withholding
must be raised at the beginning of the
next year, giving the appearance of a
tax increase. The new technique is
designed to avoid both difficulties. It
sets withholding at the rate appropriate
for the new liability, and puts that rate
into effect only for as many months as
required for withholding to approximate
liabilities; withholding is suspended for
a period between the end of old withholding rates and the beginning of the
new ones. The first State to use this
technique was Wisconsin. It suspended
withholding for two months after passage of a tax reduction measure. Later,
Montana suspended withholding for
one month after an increase in the value
of exemptions; Kansas took a similar
action. The technique had popular
appeal because, during the suspension
of withholding, taxpayer disposable
income was higher.
Personal nontaxes—chiefly tuition
and hospital charges—increased 14 percent in 1979, a little more than in 1978.
The step-up was largely the result of
new and/or increased charges imposed
in California after passage of Proposition 13. (See "Proposition 13: One Year
Later" in the October 1979 issue of the
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.)

so-i-io

Indirect business tax and nontax
accruals increased 6% percent, a little
less than in 1978. A decline in highway
gasoline consumption accounted for

January 1980

most of the deceleration. Sales taxes,
which in recent years have become the
largest component of indirect business
taxes, increased almost 10 percent in
1979, compared with 11% percent in
1978. The effect of law changes on the
sales tax total for 1979 was only $0.1
billion, but there were larger offsetting
changes in many components. The
largest legislated increases in 1979 were
in gasoline taxes. In virtually all States,
these revenues are dedicated to the
construction, maintenance, and operation of highways. A combination of slow
revenue growth—partly due to shortages of gasoline, but more importantly
to the increasing proportion of more
fuel-efficient vehicles in the total
stock—and increasing costs of highway
construction and maintenance forced
many highway departments to defer
maintenance or cut back construction.
Legislatures in a number of States responded with gasoline tax increases.
Offsetting these law changes were reductions in general sales taxes, which,
with one minor exception, involved
changes in the tax base, rather than
rates. West Virginia began a removal of
grocery food sales from the tax base.
Five States removed residential purchases of some utility services or heating
fuel, and others partly or totally
removed business equipment. Of the 45
States imposing general sales taxes,
more than one-half now exempt grocery
food sales, and some of those that impose such a tax allow special income tax
credits or deductions for taxes paid on
food sales.
Property tax growth decelerated in
1977 and 1978—in 1978, largely due to
California's Proposition 13. The absence
of further deceleration in 1979, when
the increase was again less than 1}£
percent, suggests that Proposition 13
was not widely imitated outside California, at least with respect to property
taxes. Measures of similar intent have
been imposed on local governments in
States other than California, but apparently none has as yet had a major
effect on overall property tax growth.
One local jurisdiction, Prince Georges
County in Maryland, imposed a unique
zero-growth limitation on property tax
collections for the county, so that addi-

State Personal Income, Third Quarter 1970
personal income increased 2.8
percent in the third quarter of 1979.
Much of the State-to-State variation
in total personal income changes was
accounted for by private nonfarm wage
and salary disbursements (payrolls),
which increased 2.4 percent. Within
private nonf arm payrolls, a 1.1-percent
increase in manufacturing partly offset
increases of about 3 percent in construction, mining, and service-type
industries; State-to-state variation
mainly reflects relative shares of and
changes in manufacturing, on the one
hand, and the nonmanufacturing industries, on the other.
The increase in private nonf arm payrolls was small (more than 20 percent
below the national average) in 14

States. All 14 except Missouri and Oregon were in the Northeast-Great Lakes
manufacturing belt and the Southeast
(table 1). In most, manufacturing's
share of private nonfarm payrolls exceeded the national average, and manufacturing payrolls either declined or
increased more slowly than the national
average. Weakness in manufacturing
mainly reflected a decline in motor
vehicle production and little change in
iron and steel production. Partly as
a result of the weakness in manufacturing, service-type payrolls increased
slowly in most of the 14. In Michigan,
Indiana, Tennessee, Ohio, and Missouri, the small increases in private
nonfarm payrolls due to weakness in
manufacturing were continuations of
second-quarter developments.

The increase in private nonfarm payrolls was large (more than 40 percent
above the national average) in 14
States. All 14 except Delaware, Florida,
New Hampshire, and Alaska and Hawaii were in the Plains, Rocky Mountain, and Southwest regions. In most,
the share of private nonfarm payrolls
accounted for by nonmanufacturing
industries exceeded the national average, and nonmanufacturing payrolls
increased more rapidly than the national average. Manufacturing payrolls
were also strong in each of the 14 except
Hawaii. North Dakota, Arizona, Utah,
Wyoming, Texas, Florida, Oklahoma,
and Nebraska also had large increases
in private nonfarm payrolls in the
second quarter.

the resources for extensive exports or
foreign operations. Under these agreements, foreign companies agree to pay
royalties and fees, often based on a
percentage of sales, for the right to
manufacture and market products utilizing the technology of the U.S.
company. For the most part, U.S.
companies enter into agreements with
unaffiliated foreign companies where
the technology provided is highly
advanced.

Royalties and licensing fees.—Transactions in royalties and fees with unaffiliated companies consist almost
entirely of royalties and licensing fees.
Transactions with affiliated foreign companies include, as well, management
lees; these fees are discussed separately.
Receipts of royalties and licensing
fees from affiliates grew more rapidly
than receipts from unaffiliated companies—17.7 percent per year from 1967
to 1978, compared with 9.6 percent. In

31
1978, receipts of royalties and licensing
fees from affiliated companies were $2.7
billion, of which about 80 percent was
accounted for by manufacturing. Receipts from unaffiliated foreign companies were $1.1 billion, of which
manufacturing accounted for about 90
percent (table 2). Manufacturing receipts from affiliated companies grew
faster than receipts from unaffiliated
companies—17.8 percent per year compared with 10.1 percent (chart 13).

The largest source of receipts in
manufacturing in machinery. Affiliated
receipts is machinery grew at an average annual rate of 20.0 percent from
1967 to 1978 and consistently accounted
for more than one-half the receipts from
foreign affiliates in manufacturing (table
2 and chart 14). The latest developments in U.S. technology are principally
related to the computer and advanced
electronics industries, and were provided almost entirely to foreign affiliates located in the developed countries,
particularly Germany, France, the
United Kingdom, Japan, and Canada.
Receipts from Unaffiliated foreign
companies in the machinery industry
accounted for over 40 percent of unaffiliated receipts in manufacturing and
grew at an average annual rate of 11.2
percent from 1967 to 1978. Most of the
know-how supplied to Unaffiliated companies relates to the manufacture of
consumer goods, in particular electronic
components and electrical equipment

in the European Communities (EC) and
Japan were the primary sources of these
receipts; EC companies accounted for
nearly 35 percent and Japanese companies for just over 40 percent (table 3).
Receipts from the developing countries
increased, to 11 percent of receipts in
1978 from 7 percent in 1967. The major
contributors to this increase were the
advanced developing countries of Mexico, Brazil, India, Taiwan, South
Korea, and Hong Kong. Receipts from
Latin America were primarily from
companies manufacturing heavy machinery for construction and industrial
use; receipts from Asia were primarily
from companies manufacturing electronic components for electrical appliances and equipment.

pared with slightly less than 60 percent
in 1967, as the growth in affiliated receipts exceeded that in unaffiliated receipts—14.8 percent per year compared
with 9.1 percent. Technology in agricultural chemicals and fertilizers generally is supplied to affiliates in Canada
and France; that in industrial chemicals, plastics, and synthetics to affiliates in the United Kingdom and
Germany; and that in pharmaceuticals to affiliates in Germany and
France.
Receipts from unaffiliated foreign
companies in chemicals and allied products generally involve technology in
industrial and agricultural chemicals
and pharmaceuticals. Most receipts
come from companies in the developed
countries; approximately 40 percent
are from Germany, principally for
industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals, and Japan, for industrial chemicals. Receipts from the advanced

competitive advantage in world markets, cannot be transferred abroad and
that certain facets of the production

of all affiliated royalties and fees; in
1978, they accounted for 38 percent of
that total.
In the petroleum industry, affiliates
in the Middle East and, in recent years,
the United Kingdom, were the primary
sources of management fees. U.S. parents have provided specialized consulting and engineering services, supplied
maintenance for refineries and oil fields,
and conducted seismic surveys. In other
industries, the rapid increase in management fees was primarily the result
of the demand for architectural, consulting, and engineering services in connection with widespread construction
activity in the Middle East, particularly
in Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. Substantial receipts in transportation equipment manufacturing are attributable to
extensive U.S. investments in the Canadian automotive industry. U.S. companies provide engineering and technical
services to enable their affiliates to make
changes necessary for the production of
new models.
Payments

In recent years, U.S. companies disbursed more in payments of royalties
and fees to their foreign parents than to

In 1967, payments to foreign parents
were 37 percent of total payments; in
1978, these payments accounted for 65

U.S. companies' payments to foreign
parents grew more rapidly than payments to unaffiliated foreign companies—22.1 percent per year from 1967
to 1978, compared with 7.1 percent. In
1978, affiliated payments of royalties
and fees were $0.4 billion, of which twothirds was accounted for by manufacturing. Payments to unaffiliated
companies were $0.2 billion, of which

SURVEY OF CUREENT BUSINESS

(Continued from page 11)

political and military considerations,
and, accordingly, it is difficult to assess
the outlook for them. However, it
seems likely that an increase in military
spending will result in an increase in
Federal purchases during 1980, in
contrast to their flatness during 1979.
Change in business inventories.—Auto
inventories, as noted earlier, are excessive, and a further reduction in them is
in prospect. In contrast, inventories
other than motor vehicles in the aggregate appear to be in line with sales.
Needless to say, if—as seems quite
possible on the basis of this summary
of the outlook—total final sales decline
in the first half of 1980, inventories may
at first pile up before being brought
back into line with sales.
Prices.—It was noted that recent actions affecting energy prices have not
yet fully worked their way through the
several stages of pricing. Also, additional phases in the decontrol of crude
oil and natural gas prices will become
effective. Accordingly, further increases




in energy prices are likely to occur in
the shortrun. It is uncertain how the
windfall profits tax now being legislated
will affect the price of energy.
In 1974, a prominent consideration
in the assessment of OPEC's increase
in oil prices was that it would, at the
same time, reduce demand for U.S. output substantially, essentially due to a
redistribution of income that would reduce spending. Income that would
largely have been spent by U.S. persons
on U.S. consumer goods and services
would be diverted (1) to foreign oil
producers who, in the shortrun, would
spend only a small part of this income
on U.S. output, and (2) to U.S. oil
producers who, in the shortrun, would
spend only a small part of it on U.S.
structures, equipment, and inventories.
It is not clear to what extent this consideration will be applicable to the 1980
setting.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
has forecast a slowing in retail food
prices from an increase of about 11%
percent in 1979 to 8 percent in 1980.

January 1980

According to the Department, the farm
value of food will increase only 3 percent, in contrast to 11% percent in 1979,
and marketing costs will continue to
increase more than 10 percent. Weather
conditions, obviously, could invalidate
the forecast. Moreover, the prospect of
reduced exports of grain to the Soviet
Union was not taken into account.
However, inasmuch as marketing costs
account for a large part of the retail
price of food, it is unlikely that retail
food prices will be affected substantially
by whatever happens to the price
of grain as a result of its changed
disposition.
As noted earlier, the 1980 pay standard is compatible with some acceleration in hourly compensation, and hence
more cost pressures on prices. However,
if a recession should occur, two additional factors need to be taken into
account: On the one hand, a reduction
in demand will tend to reduce prices;
on the other, a reduction in productivity will increase unit costs and tend to
raise prices.

Detailed Tables for the 1972 Input-Output Study
THE 496-order industry/commodity tables for the 1972 input-output study
are now available from the U.S. Government Printing Office. The tables
appear in two volumes, each with the major title, "The Detailed Input-Output Structure of the U.S. Economy: 1972."
Volume I—The Use and Make of Commodities by Industries, 1972
Part I—Table 1.—The Use of Commodities by Industries, 1972
Part II—Table 2.—The Make of Commodities by Industries, 1972
A. Industries Producing Each Commodity
B. Commodities Produced by Each Industry
Volume II—Total Requirements for Commodities and Industries, 1972
Part I—Table 4.—Commodity-by-Commodity Total Requirements,
1972
Part II—Table 5.—Industry-by-Commodity Total Requirements, 1972
The two volumes may be purchased from the U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 at the cost of $8.50 for Volume I and $7.50
for Volume II. Checks should be made payable to the Supertintendent of
Documents. The stock numbers are 003-010-00064-3 for Volume I and
003-010-00065-1 for Volume II.

CURRENT BUSINESS STATISTICS

THE STATISTICS here update series published in the 1977 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, biennial statistical supplement to the SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS. That volume (available from the Superintendent of Documents for $6.25) provides a description of each series, references to sources of earlier figures,
and historical data as follows: For all series, monthly or quarterly, 1973 through 1976 (1966-76 for major quarterly series), annually, 1947-76; for selected
series, monthly or quarterly, 1947-76 (where available).
The sources of the data are given in the 1977 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS; they appear in the main descriptive note for each series, and are also listed
alphabetically on pages 181-182. 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.
Unless otherwise stated in footnotes below, data
through 1976 and descriptive notes are as shown

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

New Series

Disposition of Personal Income
Beginning with the December 1979 issue, page S-2 shows series on the
disposition of personal income on a monthly basis. These series and the series
on personal income and its components, which have long been shown on a
monthly basis in the S-pages, constitute the two sides of the personal income
and outlay account of the national income and product accounts. The personal
account provides important information for the analysis of the economic
activities of persons—one of the major groups in the economy.
The monthly series on the disposition of personal income for the period since
January 1959 were first published by BEA in "Monthly Estimates of Personal
Income, Taxes, and Outlays," in the November 1979 Survey of Current
Business. In addition to the series shown on page S-2, BEA prepares, and will
make available on request, current estimates of the following series: currentand constant-dollar personal consumption expenditures for three categories of
durable goods, four categories of nondurable goods, and four categories of
services; the implicit price deflator for personal consumption expenditures on
durable goods, nondurable goods, and services; and per capita disposable
personal income in current and constant dollars.
Two aspects of the new estimates should be noted. First, price data from the
monthly Consumer Price Index that are needed to prepare the constant-dollar
estimates of personal consumption expenditures are not available when
current-dollar estimates for the latest month are prepared. Thus, estimates of
the implicit price deflator for personal consumption expenditures and of
constant-dollar disposable personal income and personal consumption
expenditures are not shown for the latest month. Second, the saving rate is
calculated as the ratio of an unweighted centered 3-month moving average of
personal saving to a similarly calculated average of disposable personal income.
Because the saving rate is based on centered 3-month moving averages, a saving
rate is not shown for the latest month and the saving rate shown for the midmonth of each quarter is equal to the saving rate for the quarter, as now published.
The definitions of the series on the disposition of personal income and a
description of the sources and methods used to prepare the estimates are in the
November 1979 Survey article.
