the BUSINESS SITUATION
rEAL GNP, a measure of U.S. proR
duction, increased at an annual rate
of ^2 percent in the fourth quarter after increasing 3 percent in the third
(chart 1). Fourth-quarter growth was
held down by a sharp drop in motor vehicle production (which reduced
growth about 1 percentage point) and
a strike at a major aircraft manufacturer (which reduced growth about ^2
percentage point).
The Loma Prieta earthquake, which
struck northern California in October, did not substantially affect the
fourth-quarter growth of real GNP but
did affect real net national product
(NNP), another measure of U.S. production. Real NNP was unchanged in
the fourth quarter but would have increased 1^2 percent if the earthquake
had not struck. The difference between GNP and NNP is capital consumption allowances with capital consumption adjustment, a measure that
includes both the normal using up of

Looking Ahead...
• National Income and Product Account Revisions. Revised estimates for
the 3-year period beginning with the first quarter of 1987 will be presented
in the July SURVEY. The presentation of the next comprehensive—that is,
benchmark—revision has been delayed from November of this year to July
1991.

creases of 3 percent and 2x/2 percent,
respectively, in the third quarter.1
The effect of the Loma Prieta
earthquake.—In the NIPA's, earthquake damage to structures and equipment is estimated at $13 billion in constant dollars and $15 billion in current dollars (annual rates). These estimates are based on information from
an insurance industry trade association and from officials of Federal and
California disaster agencies.
These very rough estimates cover
only damage to structures and equipment owned by businesses (including damage to owner-occupied residences). Note, in particular, that damage to structures owned by governments (such as roads and bridges) is
excluded because those structures are
treated in the NIPA's as purchases on
current account and are, therefore, not
capitalized.2
1. The regularly featured estimates of real GNP and
GNP prices are based on 1982 weights. An alternative measure of price change that uses more current
weights—the chain price index—is published in table
8.1 of the "Selected NIPA Tables." The GNP chain price
index can be used to calculate an alternative measure
of real GNP growth based on more current weights; this
measure of GNP increased at annual rates of */2 percent in the fourth quarter and 3a/2 percent in the third.
Growth of real GNP in 1987 dollars, another measure
based on more current weights, will be published in the
"Reconciliation and Other Special Tables" in the February SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
2. In its annual estimates of tangible wealth (usually
published in August issues of the SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS) BEA does estimate the stock of government-

Four types of income were affected
by the earthquake: Rental income of
persons, proprietors' income, corporate
profits, and compensation of employees. These incomes are not available
in constant dollars in the NIPA's; the
following estimates are in current dollars and are expressed at annual rates.
Uninsured earthquake damage reduced rental income of persons 1by $6
billion, proprietors' income by $! /2 billion, and corporate profits by $4 billion.
In addition, benefits paid by insurance
companies reduced their profits by
$3^2 billion, for a total effect on corporate profits of $7*/2 billion. (Corporate
profits for the fourth quarter will be
published in the March 1990 SURVEY.)
The total reduction in these incomes
was very similar to that caused by
Hurricane Hugo in the third quarter;
however, the effect on the individual
components was quite different. Insurance protection against earthquake
damage is much less prevalent than
against hurricane damage. Thus, most
of the damage to residences caused
by the earthquake was reflected in reduced rental income of persons; most
of the damage caused by the hurricane was reflected in reduced insurance company profits.
owned fixed capital. Earthquake damage to these stocks
is estimated at $3 billion in current dollars and $2*/2
billion in constant dollars (not annual rates). In contrast, third-quarter hurricane damage to governmentowned property was assumed to be negligible.

NOTE.—Quarterly estimates in the national income and product accounts are expressed at
seasonally adjusted annual rates, and quarterly changes are differences between these rates.
Quarter-to-quarter percent changes are annualized. Real, or constant-dollar, estimates are expressed in 1982 dollars. The advance GNP estimate for the fourth quarter is based on the
following major source data, some of which are subject to revision. (The number of months for
which data were available is shown in parentheses.)
Personal consumption expenditures: Sales of retail stores (3), and unit auto and truck
sales (3);
Nonresidential fixed investment: Unit auto and truck sales (3), construction put in place (2),
manufacturers' shipments of machinery and equipment (2), and exports and imports of
machinery and equipment (2);
Residential investment: Construction put in place (2), and housing starts (3);
Change in business inventories: Manufacturing and trade inventories (2), and unit auto inventories (3);
Net exports of goods and services: Merchandise exports and merchandise imports (2);
Government purchases of goods and services: Federal outlays (2), and State and local construction put in place (2);
GNP prices: Consumer Price Index (3), Producer Price Index (3), nonpetroleum merchandise
export and import price indexes (3), and values and quantities to calculate a unit-value
index for petroleum imports (2).
Effective with this estimate of GNP, BEA is using the monthly export and import prices that
have been published on a regular basis by the Bureau of Labor Statistics since early 1989.
Unit-value indexes previously published by the Bureau of the Census were discontinued after
July 1989. BEA continues to calculate a unit-value index only for petroleum imports.




January 1990

The impact of the earthquake on
rental income of persons and on proprietors' income lowered fourth-quarter
personal income by $7*/2 billion; a $x/2
billion increase in wages and salaries
paid in rescue and cleanup operations
offset this reduction only slightly.
Motor vehicles.—Motor vehicle output declined 22^2 percent in the fourth
quarter after a moderate decline in the
third. Sales plummeted even more—
almost 50 percent—after a large increase. Reflecting the bigger drop in
sales than in production, inventories
increased $5^2 billion after declining
$11 billion in the third quarter.3
Boosted by the most attractive salesincentive programs ever offered by
manufacturers, new car sales had
surged to 10.8 million units (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the third
quarter. (See "Motor Vehicles, Model
Year 1989" in the November 1989
SURVEY for a discussion of the factors
underlying the weak sales in the spring
that had induced manufacturers to offer these programs.) With the expiration of the programs and the announcement of substantial price increases at
the beginning of the 1990 model year,
car sales tumbled to 8.7 million units in
the fourth quarter—their lowest level
since the first quarter of 1983. Late in
the fourth quarter, manufacturers introduced new incentives, but they were
not as attractive or as widespread as
those in the third. Sales recovered
slightly in December, but not nearly
enough to make up for the falloff in October and November.
The quarterly pattern of new truck
sales, also affected by incentive programs, was similar to that of new cars.
Truck sales jumped to 5.4 million units
in the third quarter and then fell to 4.6
million in the fourth.

GNP in 1989
The economic recovery/expansion
from the business cycle trough of
November 1982 continued:
1989
marked the seventh consecutive year of
expansion, by far the longest peacetime
expansion in U.S. history. No previous
peacetime expansion exceeded 5 years.
3. Constant-dollar motor vehicle output, final sales,
and inventory change are shown in tables 1.18 (autos)
and 1.20 (trucks) of the "Selected NIPA Tables."

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

January 1990

The pace of expansion slowed considerably in 1989, however, as was foreseen by private economic forecasters
at the end of 1988 and as was intended by monetary authorities concerned about a possible resurgence of
inflation. Evidence of slowing abounds:
Real GNP increased 3 percent (during
the current expansion, only the 2^2percent increase in 1986 was lower) after a 4x/2-percent increase in 1988 (table 1). Civilian employment rose 0.2
percentage point less than in 1988, and
the unemployment rate fell 0.5 percentage point less. The Federal Reserve Board index of industrial production increased 3.3 percent in 1989 after increasing 5.7 percent in 1988; the
manufacturing capacity utilization index changed little after increasing 2%
percentage points in 1988.
With only one exception, all major
components of GNP increased less (or
declined more) than in 1988; slowdowns in exports and in nonresidential fixed investment were particularly
pronounced and accounted for fourfifths of the deceleration in GNP. The
only major component to increase more
than in 1988 was government purchases of goods and services, which rebounded from a 1988 level that had
been depressed by sizable withdrawals
of crops from Commodity Credit Corporation inventories during and after
the 1988 drought. (Withdrawals are
treated as negative purchases in the
NIPA's.)
Although the 11-percent increase in
exports in 1989 was lower than in
the boom years of 1987 and 1988, it

was higher than the growth rates in
all other years of the current expansion. Exports started the year strong
but weakened dramatically in the third
quarter. In merchandise exports, the
weakening was evident in all end-use
categories except in industrial supplies
and materials and in consumer goods,
each of which increased at about the
same rate as in 1988. Import growth
slowed only slightly, from 7 percent in
1988 to 6*2 percent in 1989. The pattern of imports differed from that of exports; imports started the year weak
and were strong thereafter.
Nonresidential fixed investment increased S1^ percent in 1989, less than
in any other year of the current expansion except 1983 and 1986, when
it declined. Investment both in structures and in producers' durable equipment weakened in 1989: Structures
slipped 1^2 percent after no change in
1988, and producers' durable equipment slowed to a 5-percent rate of increase from llx/2 percent. Investment,
which had been anemic in the second
half of 1988, rebounded in the first half
of 1989 but then ebbed again, doubtless reflecting lower corporate profits,
reduced cash flow, and the weakening
of foreign and domestic demand.
Personal consumption expenditures
slowed in 1989, mirroring a slowdown
in the growth of real disposable personal income. A $3x/2 billion drop in inventory investment, from $28 billion to
$24x/2 billion, was more than accounted
for by nonfarm inventories. Residen-

tial investment fell more than in 1988,
reflecting a sharper decline in singlefamily construction.

Components of Real GNP in
the Fourth Quarter
Residential investment and government purchases of goods and services
were the only major components of final sales to increase in the fourth quarter. More than one-half of the increase in residential investment was
accounted for by brokers' commissions;
government purchases were boosted by
inventory transactions of the Commodity Credit Corporation that more than
offset a decline in defense purchases.
In the other major components, the
steep drop in purchases of motor vehicles more than accounted for the declines in personal consumption expenditures and nonresidential fixed investment and, indirectly, for the increase
in inventory investment. Lower exports of civilian aircraft, reflecting the
strike in the aircraft industry, more
than accounted for the decline in net
exports.
Personal consumption expenditures

Real personal consumption expenditures (PCE) changed little in the fourth
quarter after a strong increase in the
third; in the first two quarters of the
year, increases had been modest (table
2). Fourth-quarter PCE was held down

ufacturing dropped in the third and
fourth quarters. Interest rates are
one of the few factors that had been
pointing in the other direction: The
yield on new issues of high-grade corporate bonds dropped almost 1 percentage point from the first to the fourth
quarters, but it moved up during the
fourth quarter.
Residential investment

Real residential investment increased in the fourth quarter after
three consecutive quarterly declines.
Small changes in single-family and
multifamily construction were offsetting, while "other" residential investment increased. (The "other" compo-

nent includes major replacements, additions and alterations, mobile home
sales, and brokers' commissions on
house sales.)
Single-family construction increased
3 percent in the fourth quarter. Singlefamily starts, however, declined 7^2
percent—partly because of the very
cold weather—after changing little in
the second and third quarters (chart
2). The divergence between construction and starts reflected an increase in
the average value of starts.
Multifamily construction declined 14
percent after a decline of 18^2 percent
in the third quarter. Fourth-quarter
multifamily construction was 38 percent below its peak in the second quar-

ter of 1986. The rental vacancy rate,
although declining in the fourth quarter, remained high at 6.8 percent.
The increase in the "other" component was largely in brokers' commissions and reflected increases in both
the average sales price and the number of houses sold. The increase in
house sales, in turn, reflected declining mortgage interest rates (chart 3).
Additions and alterations and major
replacements also increased, as homeowners repaired damage caused by the
hurricane and the earthquake.
Inventory investment

Real inventory investment—that is,
change in 1business inventories—
increased $10 /2 billion in the fourth
quarter, as businesses added $32^2 billion to their inventories after adding
$22 billion in the third quarter (table 4). Inventory investment had increased $3 billion in the third quarter.
The fourth-quarter pickup in inventory
investment was accounted for by nonfarm inventories.
Nonfarm inventories increased
$311/2 billion in the fourth quarter, almost double the rates of accumulation in the preceding three quarters.
For the year as a whole, accumulation
amounted to $21 billion, $9*/2 billion
less than in 1988. All major categories
of nonfarm inventories increased less
than in 1988.
In the fourth quarter, most of the
pickup in nonfarm inventory investment was accounted for by a sharp upswing in inventories held by retail auto
dealers, although all categories except
manufacturing contributed.
In manufacturing, inventory accumulation slowed considerably in the
fourth quarter. The slowdown was
largely in nondurables, where most
categories declined or changed little after several quarters of accumulation.
In durables, inventories of transportation equipment other than motor vehicles continued to grow strongly.
Wholesale trade inventories increased substantially more than in the
third quarter. A sharp upswing in inventories of merchant wholesalers was
accounted for partly by inventories of
foreign autos and partly by inventories of groceries and farm products.
Inventories of nonmerchant wholesalers declined after increasing; the
downswing was largely in inventories
held in petroleum bulk stations and
terminals.

6

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Inventories of retailers other than
auto dealers again increased strongly.
In durables, the fourth-quarter accumulation was mainly in furniture and
appliance dealers; hvnondurables, it
was in food stores and department
stores.
Farm inventories increased $!1/2 billion after a $5T/2 billion increase. For
the year as a whole, farm inventories
increased $3a/2 billion; in 1988 they
had declined $3 billion. In the fourth
quarter, a downswing in inventories of
crops held by farmers resulted from
the combination of a pickup in market sales and a slowdown in net withdrawals of crops from the Commodity
Credit Corporation under the commodity loan program.
Reflecting the higher rate of inventory accumulation and the slower pace
of final sales, the ratio of nonfarm business inventories to final sales of business moved up to 2.83 in the fourth
quarter. The fourth-quarter ratio was
slightly above the 2.80 to 2.82 range
of the past 2 years, but it (along
with other aggregate inventory-sales
ratios) was still quite low by historical
standards.
An alternative set of constant-dollar
inventory-sales ratios for the manufacturing and trade industries paint a
similar picture while providing more
detailed information about inventory
developments in 1989. (Manufacturing and trade inventories account for

approximately 83 percent of total nonfarm business inventories; manufacturing and trade sales include intermediate sales—that is, sales from one
industry to another—as well as sales
to consumers.) Based on data through
November, the inventory-sales ratio
for manufacturing and trade edged up
over the course of 1989 (table 5). In
particular, the ratio for manufacturing moved higher; the rise was due
to a steady buildup in inventories of
durable goods. The ratio for retail
trade also was higher at the end of the
year than at the beginning; part of this
buildup was in inventories held by auto
dealers and part was in inventories of
retailers of nondurable goods.
Net exports
Real net exports fell $4^2 billion in
the fourth quarter, almost as much as
in the third (table 6). Net exports began the year with a large increase—
with exports jumping and imports edg-

1. All ratios are based on end-of-quarter inventories and quarterly
sales at monthly rates. Thus, the ratios measure the number of months
that the current rate of sales could be sustained from the current level
of inventories. For the first set of ratios, sales are limited to those to
final users. For the second set of ratios, sales reflect various degrees of
double counting. (For example, manufacturers' sales include interplant
transfers within the same company, intercompany sales within the same
industry, and interindustry sales within manufacturing.) Ratios shown
for manufacturing and trade for the fourth quarter of 1989 are those for
the month of November.
NOTE.—Dollar levels for most inventories and final sales of business
are found in table 5.11 of the "Selected NIPA Tables." Manufacturing
and trade inventories and sales estimates are published in the March,
June, September, and December issues of the SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS.

in the second quarter when imports
surged.
Merchandise trade was responsible
for the fourth-quarter decline, as exports increased but imports increased
more. Merchandise exports increased
$7 billion (or 7^2 percent) in the fourth
quarter after increasing $3!/2 billion
in the third. Agricultural exports rebounded from a third-quarter drop that
reflected, in part, lower corn shipments
to the Soviet Union and lower soybean shipments to Western Europe.
Nonagricultural exports increased in
the fourth quarter, but little more than
one-half as much as in the third. Nonagricultural exports were held down in
the fourth quarter by a sharp drop in
exports of civilian aircraft, reflecting
the strike; other nonagricultural exports, for the most part, posted larger
increases than in the third quarter.
Merchandise imports increased

fourth quarter after increasing $17

billion in the third. Petroleum imports edged down, but imports of nonpetroleum products registered their
largest increase in 2 years. Among
nonpetroleum imports, capital goods
(except autos) registered the biggest increase (as computer imports jumped
for the fourth consecutive quarter), but
most other end-use categories also registered sizable increases.
Small fourth-quarter increases in
exports and imports of services reflected changes in interest income that
were primarily due to changes in the
amounts borrowed and lent rather
than to changes in interest rates.

Prices

After slowing in the third quarter,
inflation moved about one-half of the
way back up toward the rates registered in the first half of the year. The
GNP price index (fixed weights) increased 4 percent in the fourth quarter
after increasing 3 percent in the third
quarter and 5 percent in the first and
second quarters (table 8). The price index for gross domestic purchases (fixed
weights) increased
4 percent after increasing 2x/2 percent in the third quarter and 5*/2 percent in the first and second quarters.

PCE prices increased 4^2 percent in
the fourth quarter after a 2-percent
increase in the third. Food, energy,
and "other" PCE prices all contributed
to the acceleration. PCE food prices
rose more than in the third quarter
but less than in the first half of the
year. The pickup, to 4^2 percent, was
mainly due to a turnaround in pork
prices and a surge in prices of dairy
products and fresh fruits.
PCE energy prices declined l1^ percent
in the
fourth quarter following a 91/2-percent
decline in the third. Gasoline prices
fell 14 percent, somewhat less than in
the third quarter. Prices of electricity and gas increased 5 percent after a
small decline. "Other" PCE prices increased 5 percent in the fourth quarter
after a 3-percent increase in the third;
the pickup was mostly due to rebounds
both in new car prices—reflecting both
increased list prices and less generous sales incentives—and in clothing
prices.
Among the components of fixed
investment, prices of nonresidential
structures continued to decelerate. A
pickup in PDE prices in the fourth
quarter was largely in prices of motor vehicles and communication equipment. Prices of residential structures
slowed again.
Prices of government purchases increased 3^2 percent in the fourth quarter after a 3-percent increase in the
third. The pickup was in prices of Federal defense purchases.

Personal Income
Personal income increased much
more in the fourth quarter than in the
third (chart 4 and table 9). About onehalf of the acceleration was accounted
for by a turnaround in Federal subsidy
payments to farm proprietors.
Wage and salary disbursements
were up $49x/2 billion in the fourth
quarter, $3*/2 billion more than in
the third. All major private industry
components except manufacturing contributed to the step-up, reflecting further gains in employment and average
hourly earnings. Manufacturing wages
and salaries were up less than in the
third quarter; they were boosted $2x/2
billion by bonus payments to employees in the motor vehicle industry, but
they were depressed $!1/2 billion by the
strike in the aircraft industry.

January 1990

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Farm proprietors' income increased
in the fourth quarter after a substantial decline in the third. Most of the upswing was due to^ederal agricultural
subsidy payments, which increased $6
billion after declining $8 billion. The
fourth-quarter increase in subsidies included Conservation Reserve Program
payments and drought assistance payments. Farm income excluding subsidies declined for the third consecutive
quarter; the fourth-quarter decline was
due to lower farm prices.
Nonfarm proprietors' income and
transfer payments increased some4

come, personal dividend income, and
personal interest income—increased
about as much as in the third quarter.
Personal contributions for social insurance, which are subtracted in determining the personal income total, registered another small increase.
Personal tax and nontax payments
increased $16 billion in the fourth
quarter, following a $3^2 billion decline
in the third. The increase largely reflected growth in the taxable earnings
base. The pattern of changes in the
several preceding quarters was largely
due to the effects of the Tax Reform Act
of 1986.
Disposable personal income (DPI) increased 7^2 percent in the fourth quar-

what more than in the third quarter.
The increase in transfer payments reflected retroactive social security payments to recent retirees and disaster
assistance payments in the aftermath
of Hurricane Hugo and the Loma Prieta earthquake.
Rental income of persons declined
slightly—the fifth consecutive quarterly decline. In the third quarter,
rental income was reduced $3 billion
by the hurricane; in the fourth quarter,
it was reduced $6 billion by the earthquake. The reductions reflected uninsured losses, which are deducted as an
expense in deriving rental income.

ter, compared with a 6^2-percent increase in the third. Real DPI increased
2J/2 percent, following a 4^2-percent
increase; the fourth-quarter deceleration reflected the acceleration in PCE
prices.
Personal outlays—largely PCE—
were up substantially less than DPI in
the fourth quarter. As a result, per-




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
sonal saving jumped after two quarters of decline. The personal saving
rate rose 0.7 percentage point to 5.8
percent, the highest level in the last
4 years. In the past, large changes
in consumer purchases of motor vehicles have been associated with changes
in the opposite direction in the saving rate. These purchases (indeed,

durable goods purchases in general)
may be viewed as an alternative kind
of saving—an accumulation of physical
capital as opposed to financial capital.
In the current expansion, 10 of the 12
largest changes in PCE for motor vehicles and parts were associated with
changes in the opposite direction in the
saving rate.

Selected NIPA Tables
New estimates in this issue: Fourth quarter 1989.
The selected set of 54 national income and product accounts (NIPA) tables shown in this section presents quarterly estimates, which are updated
monthly. (In most of these tables, annual estimates are also shown.) The full set of 132 tables usually shown in July presents annual NIPA
revisions. For more information on the presentation of the estimates, see "National Income and Product Accounts Estimates: When They are
Released, Where They Are Available, and How They Are Presented" in the July 1988 SURVEY.
The full set of estimates for 1986-88 is in the July 1989 issue of the SURVEY; estimates for 1985 are in the July 1988 issue; estimates for
1984 are in the July 1987 issue; estimates for 1983 are in the July 1986 issue. Estimates for 1929-82 are in National Income and Product
Accounts, 1929-82: Statistical Tables (GPO Stock No. 003-010-00174-7, price $23.00). These publications are available from the Superintendent
of Documents; see address on inside front cover.
The full set of NIPA tables is available on diskette for $200 per year (12 updates, for the quarterly estimates prepared each month). For more

1. The inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) shown in this table differs from the IVA that adjusts business
incomes. The IVA in this table reflects the mix of methods (first-in, first-out; last-in, first-out; etc.)
underlying book value inventories derived primarily from Census Bureau statistics. This mix differs from that
underlying business income derived primarily from Internal Revenue Service statistics.

1. Inventories are as of die end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventories calculated from
current-dollar inventories in this table is not the current- dollar change in business inventories (CBI)
component of GNP. The former is the difference between two inventory stocks, each valued at their
respective end-of-quarter prices. The latter is the change in the physical volume of inventories valued at
average prices of the quarter. In addition, changes calculated from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas
CBI is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Business final sales equals final sales less gross product of households
and institutions, government, and rest of the world, and includes a small amount of final sales by farms.

1. Percent changes for 1986 and the first quarter of 1986 reflect discontinuities in the series.
NOTE.—The fixed-weighted price index and the chain price index, both of which are weighted averages of
the detailed prices used in the deflation of GNP, are measures of price change. In calculating changes in
these indexes, the composition of GNP is held constant. Consequently these changes reflect only changes in
prices. The fixed-weighted price index measures price change over any period, using as weights the
composition of GNP in 1982. The chain price index measures price change between two consecutive periods,

using as weights the composition of GNP in the first period. The implicit price deflator is a byproduct of the
deflation of GNP. It is derived as the ratio of current- to constant-dollar GNP (multiplied by 100). It it the
average of the detailed prices used in the deflation of GNP, but the prices are weighted by the composition
of GNP in each period. Consequently, the implicit price deflator reflects not only changes in prices but also
changes in the composition of GNP, and its use as a measure of price change should be avoided.

to the third quarter of 1989. In the
Mideast region, personal income grew
8.4 percent. In both regions, weakness
in durables and nondurables manufacturing payrolls dampened personal income growth. Weakness in motor vehicles production in Michigan adversely
affected durables payrolls in the Great
Lakes region.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
In the Southwest, slow growth in
payrolls in most major industries contributed to below-average personal income growth (8.2 percent). Growth
in payrolls in private service-type industries was slower than in any other
region.
In the Southeast, a substantial decline in rental income of persons led
to below-average growth in personal
income (8.3 percent). The decline

January 1990

in rental income reflected damage to
structures caused by Hurricane Hugo
in the third quarter of 1989. South
Carolina—where most of the damage
occurred—was the only State with a
decline in personal income over the
past year. If the effects of the damage
caused by the hurricane were excluded,
personal income would have increased
9.4 percent in South Carolina and 8.9
percent in the Southeast.

The difference for the third quarter of 1989 is $22.8 billion.
NOTE.—The quarterly estimates of State personal income were prepared by Isabelle B. Whiston, James P.
Stehle, and Francis G. McFaul, under the supervision of Robert L. Brown.

1980's. From 1929 to 1979, PCPI in- Perc^ll
creased from 64 to 90 percent of the 13°
national average in the low-income regions (Southeast, Southwest, Plains, 12o
and Rocky Mountain) and declined
from 127 to 107 percent in the highincome regions (Mideast, Far West, no
New England, and Great Lakes). From
1979 to 1988, the low-income regions
slipped back to 88 percent of the na-100
tional average, and the high-income regions rose to 109 percent (chart 6 and
tables 1 and 2).
90
This article updates and extends
the analytical measures that had been
used to account for regional differ- 80
ences in PCPI growth in the SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS in 1982.1 It explores
the variations over time in factors of 70
production, factor returns, and transfer payments and in the rates of change 60
in income and population. It concludes 140
that the percentage-point shift in the
1980's, although small, was the product of divergent regional changes that 130
were highly significant.
The article first presents an overview
and then analyzes the components of 12°
PCPI change in the three following sections. The first of these sections describes the methodology of decompos- 11°
ing PCPI change into industry mix.

NOTE.—Duane Hackmann implemented the 100
methodology and designed and prepared the tables. Bruce Levine prepared special estimates of
the numbers of sole proprietors and general part- 90
ners. Frank de Leeuw advised on the methodology. Wallace Bailey, Richard Beemiller, Frank
de Leeuw, Rudolph DePass, Howard Friedenberg, Kenneth Johnson, Hugh Knox, John Kort, 80
Thomas Lienesch, and Vemon Renshaw—all of
the Bureau of Economic Analysis—and Edward
Denison of the Brookings Institution and Mon- 70
roe Newman of the Appalachian Regional Commission made insightful comments and editorial
contributions.

differential regional earnings, job ratio, working-age ratio, property income ratio, and transfer payments ratio. The second compares the regional
patterns of these six components in the
1970's and 1980's. The third describes
the methodology of decomposing PCPI
change into components capturing the
"lift" effect of income and the "drag" effect of population, and it reviews the
effects for six timespans in 1929-88.

Overview
In the earlier article, PCPI was decomposed into components, and their
statistical contributions to the narrowing of regional relative differences
were estimated. In 1940—79, more
uniform regional industrial composition of jobs (industry mix) accounted
for about one-half of the narrowing of
regional relative differences in PCPI
growth. Reduced differential regional
earnings (after adjusting for regional
industry mix) accounted for about onetenth, and more uniform regional ratios of jobs to working-age population
(job ratio) accounted for another onetenth. The residual one-fourth was
about equally accounted for by more
uniform regional distributions of personal dividend, interest, and rental income (property income) per capita and
of transfer payments per capita.

In the 1980's, the widening of regional relative differences in PCPI
growth was more than accounted for
by the three components of job-related
income: Differential regional earnings
accounted for about one-half, the job
ratio for about four-tenths, and industry mix for one-eighth of the threecomponent total. More uniform regional distributions of property income
per capita and of transfer payments
per capita partly offset the components
contributing to regional divergence in
the 1980?s (chart 7),

gain in high-income regions in the
1980's. In these regions, there were
relative gains in each of the three
components related to job income.
The Southwest, Rocky Mountain, and
Plains regions more than accounted for
the relative PCPI loss in low-income regions. In these regions, there were relative losses in each of the three components (chart 8).
In the last section of this article,
further analysis demonstrates that regional population growth rates in the
1980's reinforced the divergence of regional PCPI growth. In the Southwest
and Rocky Mountain regions, popula-

tion growth rates were 198 percent and
133 percent, respectively, of the national average; in the Mideast and New
England, the rates were only 31 percent and 55 percent, respectively.
It has been an article of some faith
(and some empirical analysis) that
working-age population flows and job
creation move in parallel, reflecting
competitive forces, the only question
being whether working-age population
moves to the locus of jobs or jobs
to the locus of working-age population. In Hicks' theory of wages, regional convergence would result from
(1) inmigration to high-wage areas

Note 1.—For high-income regions, divergence (convergence) occurs; when the average annual change is larger (smaller) than for the Nation. For low-income regions, divergence (convergence) occurs when the average annual
change is smaller (larger) than for the Nation.
Note 2.—In contrast with chart 7, this chart shows an additional component—working-age ratio. The working-age ratio was significant in individual BEA regions but not in the totals for high-income and low-income regions.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
In the earlier article, the 1929-79
period was broken into subperiods, of
which the 1940's and the 1970's were
the only decades in which the reduction in differential regional earnings
contributed to regional PCPI convergence. The direction of migration
was "right" in the 1940's but not in
the 1970's, when, apart from the Far
West, very large working-age population flows were from high- to lowincome regions. (The reduction in
differential regional earnings in the
1970's coincided, to a degree, with regional convergence in relative costs of
living. The rising cost of living in lowincome regions might have been expected to slow inmigration, but it did
not.4)

putting downward pressure on wage
rates and (2) outmigration from lowwage areas depleting the labor reserves and putting upward pressure on
wage rates.2 In a 1960 study, Borts
found that migration flows from low- to
high-wage regions in the United States
had occurred in 1919-53 but that the
flows had not been large enough to result in substantial wage-rate convergence. He concluded that continued
migration in the "right direction" was3
a necessary condition for convergence.
2. J.R. Hicks, The Theory of Wages (London: Macmillan, 1932).
3. G.H. Borts, The Equalization of Returns and Regional Economic Growth," American Economic Review
L (June 1960): 319-47. Whereas Hicks specifically
referred to real wage-rate differentials, Borts utilized
available statistical measures, which were prepared in
nominal terms.

4. In particular, housing costs increased more in the
1970's in the low-income, fast-growing regions than in

January 1990

In the 1980's, population flows continued in the "wrong" direction for
the most part, despite differential regional earnings well above and unemployment rates well below the national average
in New England and the
Mideast.5 (Regional costs of living diverged as well, reflecting sharply divergent relative housing costs.)
The Hicks-Borts proposition regarding the direction of labor force migration and the regional equalization
the high-income, slow-growing regions. Regional costs
of living and wage-rate differentials are not independent because wages account for a large fraction of the
costs of production of housing and services, which are
consumed mainly in the vicinity of their production.
5. Iiitercensal estimates of regional population
growth are subject to substantial revision after decennial population censuses. Any revision after the 1990
census, therefore, would also entail revisions of current estimates of regional labor force and unemployment rates and, of course, net migration rates.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

January 1990

1970's, particularly developments affecting factor returns in the oil and
gas and related industries. The relatively large contributions of differential regional earnings and of the job
ratio to the high-income regions in
the 1980's may, in turn, be unsustainable and subject to reversal; that
is what the competitive model would
suggest.6 However, the existence of external economies connected with particular locations—suggested by the fact

of factor returns appears to have become less and less descriptive since
mid-century. The agricultural revolution and the subsequent industrial
and geographic reallocation of farm
labor reserves had particular force
in low-income regions in the 1940's,
but progressively diminished thereafter. Technological change in other
industries has, in general, permitted
them to be more footloose and to locate in closer correspondence with the
dominant long-term population migration trends. The resulting greater regional dispersion of industry in recent
decades is reflected in the decreasing
importance of industry mix in explaining regional PCPI change.
The industry-mix contribution in the
1980's reflected, in part, a reversal
of unsustainable developments in the

6. Lynn E. Browne comes to this conclusion in "Shifting Regional Fortunes: The Wheel Turns," New England Economic Review (May/June 1989): 27-40. Ms.
Browne uses conceptually different and statistically
more aggregate measures of "industry mix" and "earnings per job" than the equivalent measures used for this
article. Also, the end year of Ms. Browne's analysis is
1987 rather than 1988. Nonetheless, there is substantial agreement where the methodology overlaps in the
two articles.

that New England and Mideast experienced divergent differential regional
earnings in the 1950's and 1960's as
well as in the 1980's—and inertia in
regional population migration patterns
may militate against the smooth working of the competitive model.

data availability, the choice of the next 3 years is based
on national business cycle peaks, and 1988 is the most
recent year for which data are available.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

grown at different rates, nationally
and regionally, over each decade, and
shares of PCPI accounted for by the
payment types have varied, as shown
in table 4. As an example, nationally, the share of property income was
higher in 1988 than in any other year
except 1929, reflecting unusually high
interest rates and growing indebtedness in the 1980's. Regionally, more
uniform distributions of property income in the 1980's partly offset factors
contributing to regional disparities.8

However, the main focus in this study
is not on property income but on income that is related to jobs, because
this kind of income accounts for the
bulk of the change in regional PCPI as
a percent of the national average.

correlation coefficient for the share of population aged
65 and over and the share of property income among
States was 0.490 in 1969, 0.602 in 1979, and 0.604 in
1988—all significant at the 1-percent level. At the same
time, the coefficient of variation for the share of population aged 65 and over for all States has declined over
the three decades. (This decline is explained, in part,
by the higher propensity to migrate for the population
aged 20-40 than for other age groups, including that for
the population aged 65 and over, which has the second
highest propensity to migrate.)

8. Whatever the effect of the rising property income
share on intraregional or intrastate differences in income distribution, interregional and interstate differences in the shares have continuously narrowed over
all the decades under study. In part, this narrowing is
explained by the share of population aged 65 and over
relative to total State population, because property income tends to be a more important income source for
this age group than for others. The simple cross-section

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

35

When equation (1) is expressed as
differences between time periods and
is transformed into logarithmic form,
the right-side components are additive,
and the percent change on the left side
is precisely equal to the sum of the percent changes on the right.

nent is calculated for two or more
regions, the national distribution
of earnings by industry is multiplied by each region's distribution
of jobs by industry. Thus, regional
differences in this component reflect regional differences in the
distribution (mix) of jobs among
industries with varying earnings
rates nationally. The industrial
comparisons are made at approximately the two-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) level
of detail, as in the table "Personal Income by Major Sources"
for States, usually published in
the August SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS.
Differential
regional earnings
(E/H): This detailed component
is the ratio of earnings to hypothetical earnings, where earnings is the actual wages and
salaries, other labor income, and
sole proprietors' and general partners' income originating in a region. When this detailed component is calculated, the region's industry mix of jobs is multiplied
by the region's actual earnings by
industry in the numerator, and
the same industry mix of jobs is
multiplied by the corresponding
national earnings in the denominator. Thus, this detailed component reflects regional-national

differences in industrial earnings
rates that abstract, for the most
part, from those due to regionalnational differences in the industry mix of jobs.
Job ratio (J/NW): This detailed component is the ratio of the count of
jobs of wage and salary workers
by place of work and of sole proprietors and general partners to
the resident working-age population (ages 18-64 years).
Working-age ratio (N^/N): This detailed component is the ratio of
the working-age population to total population. The difference between this ratio and unity equals
the share of population that will
be referred to as the "nonlabor
share"; any downward change in
the working-age population share
implies an increase in the nonlabor share, and conversely.

).

The detailed components are as follows.
Industry mix (H/J): This detailed
component is the ratio of hypothetical earnings to jobs, where hypothetical earnings is the wages and
salaries, other labor income, and
sole proprietors' and general partners' income that would have originated in a region if all jobs in
each industry in the region had
been compensated at the national
average rate in the corresponding industry.9 When this compo9. Estimates of the number of wage and salary workers, sole proprietors, and general partners are on a
job-count basis, derived from tax and administrative
records; that is, each job, whether full- or part-time,
is counted (unlike a person-count estimate, usually derived from household surveys). There is no adequate
basis on the subnational level for converting these job
counts to a full-time equivalent measure. While the jobcount estimates in this study generally agree with those
in the Regional Economic Information System tables,
the estimates for sole proprietors and general partners
differ from current estimates in anticipation of changes
to be introduced as part of the next comprehensive revisions to the State personal income estimates.




Property income ratio (FI/E): This
detailed component is the ratio of
property income plus earnings—
that is, factor income—to earnings.

Contributions of the components
Table 5 shows, for each region, average annual percent changes in PCPI
by detailed component for 1969-79 and
1979-88. For each region in each
decade, these measures provide the basis for evaluating the contribution of
the change in each detailed component to the change in PCPI as a percent of the national average. Table
5 shows TPI/FI in two versions, one
designated as a place-of-work estimate
and the other designated as a placeof-residence estimate. The two designations yield somewhat different estimates, but they do not materially affect
the values of the specified component
contributions at the regional level.
Table 6 shows, for each region,
the percentage-point difference from
the national average percent change
in PCPI for each detailed component.
The signs of the regionalnational differences may be either positive or negative. Using these differences, the procedure for accounting for convergence and divergence of
the high- and low-income regions consists of two steps: (1) Subtracting
the high-income regional-national difference from the low-income regionalnational difference for each detailed
component and (2) grouping the results of step (1) into two parts—those

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
contributing to convergence and those
contributing to divergence. For example, in the 1970's, the results of

in jobs in a number of mining industries in these regions. The rising earnings per job in the primary commodities industries affected both hypothetical and actual earnings per job in the
1970's, to the advantage of the lowincome regions.10
These same industries were disadvantaged in the 1980's. In the Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions,
weakness in these industries and in
construction canceled out most of their
industry-mix gains of the 1970's. The
Plains region, however, retained most
of its industry-mix gains of the 1970's
mainly because high Federal Government crop payments to farm proprietors in 1988 (not characteristic of
earlier in the 1980's) boosted the region's end-year hypothetical earnings.
In the Southeast, the gains from industry mix increased modestly in the
1980's. The Great Lakes region continued to experience negative contributions in the 1980's, and the other
high-income regions approximately regained their losses of the 1970's.

The relatively very large differential regional earnings contribution to
PCPI divergence in the 1980's partly
reflects, as just mentioned, a reversal
of 1970 developments in the primary
commodities industries in the 1970's.
It also reflects substantial regional differences in earnings among industries
that are more nearly uniformly distributed among regions. Rising relative unemployment rates in the Southwest, Rocky Mountain, and Plains regions and falling relative unemployment rates (and labor shortages in
many labor market areas) in the New
England and Mideast regions in the
1980's had opposite effects on relative
increases in wage rates. Often, the
least skilled, entry-level jobs in the
larger labor market areas in the latter
regions commanded substantial premiums above the Federal minimum wage
rate, in contrast with the conditions in
the former regions. As well, contrasting phases of the construction cycle in

the reversal of economic patterns in the 1970's and
1980's and the implications for regional economic theory, see Daniel H. Garnick, "Shifting Patterns in the
Growth of Metropolitan and Nonmetropolitan Areas,"

The methodology underlying the 1983 SURVEY article, while comprehensive, did not isolate differential regional earnings; hence, it did not identify the locational
external economies pertaining to, for example, moneycenter financial institutions in the 1980's (as well as in
the 1950's and 1960's).

to regional PCPI convergence in the
1970's and partly offset divergence in
the 1980's. In the 1970's, unemployment rates that were falling relative to
the national average in low-income regions resulted in a small relative decline in transfer payments, and that
decline partly offset regional PCPI convergence in that decade. In contrast,
in the 1980's, unemployment rates that
were rising relatively in low-income regions resulted in a relative increase in
transfer payments, and that increase
partly offset regional PCPI divergence.

Income and Population
Effects, 1929-88

first term on the right side of the final
equality sign, ^, hereafter called the
income effect, measures the per capita
increment in TPI during a timespan.
The second term, £± x ^, hereafter
called the population effect, is the product of the initial value of PCPI (the
initial condition) and the population
growth rate during the timespan. The
sign of the population effect is negative, which implies a drag on PCPI
change when population is growing.
The initial condition thus modifies the
drag of the population growth rate on
PCPI growth: It mutes the drag in lowincome regions and amplifies the drag
in high-income regions.12
Table 7 shows the change in PCPI,
the income effect, and the population
effect and its components—initial-year
PCPI and population growth rate—for
each timespan in 1929-88. In each
of the timespans, the absolute dollar
change in PCPI in low-income regions
fell below the national average, while
the dollar change in the high-income
regions exceeded it. When there are
large differences among regions in the
absolute dollar values of PCPI, it is
not unusual for absolute (columns 16) divergence and relative (columns
7-12) convergence to occur simultaneously. This situation is especially
likely when inflation accounts for a
large part of income growth and affects
income growth rates more or less uniformly across regions. Relative convergence of low-income regions will occur
when their PCPI growth rates exceed
the national average (and when those
of high-income regions fall short of it).
The components of PCPI behave in the
same way as the total with respect to
divergence when treated in absolute
terms and with respect to convergence
when treated in relative terms (except
in the 1980's, when, in both terms,
PCPI and its components diverged
regionally).

Ever since the first wave of European
immigration, this Nation's population
has exhibited a much higher degree of
regional mobility than that of other industrially advanced countries. Since
the Nation's early settlement, population has shifted west. In the 192988 period, the three westernmost regions have consistently had high relative population growth rates; the New
England, Mideast, and Plains regions
have had low rates. The Great Lakes
region has had increasing population
outmigration since the 1950's. For
about a century following the Civil War
(except during the 1930's), the Southeast had outmigration, but since the
1960's, the region has had increasing
inmigration.
When viewed in terms of comparative statics, regional population
growth exerts a "drag" on relative
PCPI growth, and income growth exerts a "lift," But regional population
and income growth are not independent of one another, nor are they perfectly covariant. In this section, PCPI
change is decomposed into lift and drag
effects—termed the "income effect" and
the "population effect," respectively—
over each of six approximate decade
timespans in 1929-88.

12. The modifying effect of the initial PCPI value can
be illustrated in relative terms. Consider two regions
with initial PCPI's of 125 percent and 75 percent of the
national average, respectively. If both regions experience population growth rates equal to the national average, the high-income region will experience a drag
two-thirds greater than that for the low-income region.
Thus, to the extent that income growth and population
growth are not covariant, the initial condition requires
greater lift to keep high-income regions aloft relatively,
and therein lies the tendency toward PCPI relative convergence, all else being equal.

Nation and in each region. Both the income and population effects were negative, except in the Southeast and Far
West regions; in those regions, small
positive income effects offset about onethird and one-quarter, respectively, of
the negative population effects (column
1). The national population growth
rate was the lowest recorded, and
thus it exerted a smaller-than-average
drag. The negative income effect took
a greater toll on high-income regions;
it accounted for more than one-half of
the PCPI decline in the high-income
regions, compared with less than onethird of the decline in low-income regions. In this decade of the Great Depression, the industrial Great Lakes,
New England, and Mideast regions experienced population outmigration for
want of jobs. The Far West, on the
other hand, had a population growth
rate 230 percent of the national average (column 7). Three of the four
low-income regions also had greaterthan-average population growth; in the
Plains region, drought and dust storms
ravaged farms and spurred large-scale
outmigration.
World War II and the postwar
conversion were powerful engines of
growth during the 1940's; the income
effect swamped the population effect
even though the national population
growth rate exploded at the start of
the baby boom (column 2). During this
decade, the PCPI disparities narrowed
more than in any other: PCPI more
than tripled in low-income regions and
more than doubled in high-income regions. The income effect was 50 times
larger than the population effect in
the Plains region, reflecting both huge
gains in farm productivity and continued very high rates of population outmigration. The Southeast, with an income effect 21 times larger than the
population effect, returned to its pre1930's pattern of outmigration for similar reasons.
Industrialization was taking hold in
both the Plains and Southeast regions
during the 1940's. The Plains region
continued exporting population during each of the subsequent decades,
through good farm years and bad; the
Southeast experienced a turnaround of
migration (and remigration) starting in
the 1960's. The Southwest and Rocky
Mountain regions experienced high to
very high rates of population inmigration over each decade in the face of
very uneven income effects. It was only
in the two most recent decades that,
with high population growth (including

January 1990

that in the Southeast) and with PCPI
approaching the national average, the
population effect in low-income regions
exerted greater-than-national-average
drag on PCPI growth.
The high-income regions, except the
Far West, experienced an opposite population effect. The population growth
rate in the Far West has averaged more
than twice the national average during the decades under study. New
England and the Mideast have experienced varying outmigrations—in the
last two decades quite sharp, in the
face of both economic reversal in the
1970's and substantial recovery in the
1980's. Since the 1950's, the Great
Lakes region has experienced increasing population outmigration, and its
income effects have fallen below the
national average since the 1960's. By
the end of the 1980's, the Great Lakes
region had fallen from above to below
the national average PCPI.
Thus, although each region appears
to be governed by its own culture
of population migration, columns 7—
12 in table 7 show a pattern of rising relative population effects in the
low-income regions and declining relative population effects in the highincome regions over the decades under study. These patterns, in turn, reflect the compound effects of both the
initial condition—monotonically rising
(declining) initial year PCPI as a percent of the national average in the lowincome (high-income) regions—and a
somewhat uneven pattern of relative
population growth rates.
Through mid-century, the HicksBorts proposition on the regional
equalization of factor returns had some
verisimilitude; it also had demonstrated relevance for explaining regional PCPI convergence as a percent
of the national average. Since midcentury, however, modern technology
has permitted industries to become increasingly footloose. Industries established in the New England^ Mideast,
and Great Lakes regions through the
early decades of the century were
based on a mechanical technology and
were locationally
to dense labor markets and by high transportation costs. The shift over time to
lightweight materials, to miniaturization, to reduced numbers of moving
parts in equipment, and, more generally3 to the widespread substitution
of electronic for mechanical processes
has reduced the role of transportation costs and of large, skilled labor

imity to inputs and to market areas
for manufacturing industries and for
some producer services industries appear to have been weakening over the
last three decades.13
Where there is population, there is a
demand for consumer services. To that
extent at least, jobs flow with population. This has clearly been the case
with respect to retirement communities and recreation areas. The amenities that draw population to these areas also lure enterprises other than

those connected with the provision of
local consumer services, given the local cost of production relative to the
prices the enterprises receive. In addition, the new industries—developed in
the last three decades of rapid technological change—have tended to locate
in the regions experiencing relatively
rapid population growth; old industries
located in the earlier established industrial belt have gone through or are
currently undergoing substantial technological restructuring, and the redundant labor in these high-income or formerly high-income regions have tended
to gravitate toward regions where the
jobs are located. In spite of this gravitation toward jobs, it has been shown
that locational external economies are

associated with a degree of stickiness
in factor returns in certain industries
and locations (e.g., financial services in
money centers) and with divergent differential regional earnings.
All the above explains much of the
apparently "wron^' direction of regional population flows. However,
not all job-related migration is implemented with perfect knowledge,
and not all migration is in search
of jobs.
So, it can be assumed,
regionally specific inertia in population movement and locational external
economies may well continue beyond
the present decade and continue to confound oversimplified theories of wages
and regional PCPI convergence.

^innuallnput-Output Accounts of the ILS* Economy, 1985
THIS article presents the latest in a

series of annual input-output (I-O) accounts that are consistent definitionally with the 1977 benchmark 1-0 accounts as modified by the comprehensive revision of the national income
and product accounts (NIPA's) released
in December 1985.1 Annual I-O accounts are prepared using basically the
same procedure as used in the most
recent benchmark accounts, but with
less comprehensive and reliable source
data. The four steps in this procedure
are (1) determine industry and commodity output totals, (2) estimate the
commodity composition of intermediate consumption for each industry, (3)
derive each GNP component and its
commodity composition,
and (4) balance the table.2
The 1985 annual I-O estimates of
final demand—that is, estimates of
GNP components—differ from the published NIPA estimates for that year
because they incorporate additional
source data and are based on estimating methods that reflect these source
data. For the major GNP components,
the differences are shown in table
A. For personal consumption expenditures (PCE), the difference is mainly
due to the methods used to prepare
the estimates of goods and newly availNOTE.—The 1985 annual I-O accounts were prepared under the direction of Mark A. Planting,
Chief of the Auxiliary Studies Branch. Staff
contributors were William A. Allen, Claiborne
M. Ball, Esther M. Carter, Nicholas R. Dopuch,
Robert S. Robinowitz, Nancy W. Simon, and Patricia A. Weiss.
