l\egular features
1 Business Situation
Real GDP increased 3.7 percent in the third quarter 0/1998, according to the
"final" NIPA estimate; the "preliminary" estimate issued last month had shown
a 3.9-percent increase. A downward revision to net exports more than offset
an upward revision to business fixed investment. Corporate profits increased
$6.4 billion (0.8 percent at a quarterly rate) in the third quarter, as an increase
in profits of domestic nonfinancial corporations more than offset a decrease in
profits from the rest of the world.

12 U.S. International Transactions, Third Quarter 1998
The U.S. current-account deficit increased $4.6 billion, to $61.3 billion, in the
third quarter of 1998. The increase was accounted for by an increase in the
deficit on investment income, a decrease in the surplus on services, and an
increase in net unilateral transfers. In the capital account, capital outflows
decreased more than capital inflows. U.S. assets abroad increased $48.1 billion
after increasing $109.8 billion, and foreign assets in the United States increased
$112.9 billion after increasing $164.9 billion.

SITUATION

EAL GROSS domestic product (GDP) in\^ creased 3.7 percent in the third quarter of
1998, according to the "final" estimates of the
national income and product accounts (NIPA'S),
after increasing 1.8 percent in the second quarter
(table 1 and chart 1).1 The acceleration was more
than accounted for by an upturn in inventory
investment.
The largest contributors to the third-quarter
increase in real GDP were personal consumption
1. Quarterly estimates in the NIPA'S are expressed at seasonally adjusted
annual rates. Quarter-to-quarter dollar changes are the differences between
the published estimates. Quarter-to-quarter percent changes are annualized
and are calculated from unrounded data unless otherwise specified.
Real estimates are calculated using a chain-type Fisher formula with annual weights for all years and quarters except those in the most recent year,
which are calculated using quarterly weights; real estimates are expressed both
as index numbers (1992=100) and as chained (1992) dollars. Price indexes
(1992=100) are also calculated using a chain-type Fisher formula.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992 current-dollar
value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more
than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates usually are not additive. Chained (1992) dollar levels and residuals,
which measure the extent of nonadditivity in each table1, are in NIPA tables 1.2, 1.4, and 1.6. Percent changes are calculated from
unrounded data. Percent changes in major aggregates are in NIPA table 8.1.

expenditures for services and inventory investment (table 2). The increase in GDP was moderated by decreases in exports of services and in
Federal nondefense spending and by an increase
in imports of goods.2
The "final" estimate of the change in real GDP
is 0.2 percentage point less than the 3.9-percent
increase indicated by the "preliminary" estimate
reported in the December "Business Situation"
(table 3). The revision is close to the average
revision—0.3 percentage point, without regard to
sign—from the preliminary estimate to the final
estimate for 1978-97.

Revisions to the components of GDP were
small. A downward revision to net exports more
than offset an upward revision to business fixed
investment. In net exports, a downward revision
to exports and an upward revision to imports
reflected the incorporation of revised Census Bureau and Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
data on international trade in goods and services. In business fixed investment, the upward
revision was primarily to residential and nonresidential structures and reflected the incorporation
of revised Census Bureau data on the value of
residential and nonresidential construction put in
place for August and September.

2. Imports are subtracted from final expenditures in the calculation of

Real gross domestic purchases increased 4.2
percent, the same as the preliminary estimate;
in the second quarter, it increased 3.9 percent.3
Real final sales of domestic product increased 2.8
percent, 0.1 percentage point less than the preliminary estimate; in the second quarter, it increased
4.6 percent.4

The price index for gross domestic purchases
increased 0.7 percent, 0.2 percentage point more
than the preliminary estimate; in the second
quarter, the index increased 0.4 percent. The
price index for GDP increased 1.0 percent, 0.2
percentage point more than the preliminary estimate; in the second quarter, the index increased
0.9 percent. The larger third-quarter increase
in GDP prices than in gross domestic purchases
prices was due to a larger decrease in the prices
of imports than in the prices of exports.5 The
upward revisions to third-quarter prices mainly
reflected the incorporation of newly available Department of Transportation price data on airline
transportation services purchased by consumers
and of newly available Census Bureau price data
on single-family structures.
Real disposable personal income (DPI) increased 3.2 percent in the third quarter, 0.1
percentage point more than the preliminary estimate. The upward revision was accounted for
by an upward revision to personal income. The
personal saving rate—personal saving as a percentage of current-dollar DPI—was 0.2 percent,
the same as the preliminary estimate.

1. Based on chained-type annual (1992) weights.
NOTE.—The final estimates for the third quarter of 1998 incorporate the following revised or additional major source data that
were not available when the preliminary estimates were prepared.
Personal consumption expenditures: Revised retail sales for September, hospital expenses for August, and residential gas usage
for July.
Nonresidential fixed investment: Revised construction put in place for August and September and revised manufacturers' shipments
of machinery and equipment for September.
Residential fixed investment: Revised construction put in place for August and September.
Change in business inventories: Revised manufacturing and trade inventories for September.
Exports and imports of goods and services: Revised data on exports and imports of goods for September and revised balanceof-payments data on exports and imports of goods and services for the third quarter.
Government consumption expenditures and gross investment: Revised State and local construction put in place for August and
September.
Wages and salaries: Revised employment, average hourly earnings, and average weekly hours for September.
GDP prices: Revised export and import prices for July through September, revised values and quantities of petroleum imports
for September, revised prices of single-family homes under construction for the third quarter, and airline transportation prices paid
by consumers for the third quarter.




3. Gross domestic purchases—a measure of purchases by U.S. residents
regardless of where the purchased goods and services were produced—is
calculated as GDP less exports of goods and services plus imports of goods
and services.
4. Final sales of domestic product equals GDP less change in business
inventories.
5. Import prices are included in gross domestic purchases prices but not
in GDP prices, and export prices are included in GDP prices but not in gross
domestic purchases prices.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Corporate Profits

Gross national product (GNp).-ln the third quarter, real GNP—goods and services produced bylabor and property supplied by U.S. residents—
increased 3.3 percent, 0.4 percentage point less
than real GDP (chart 1 and table 4).6 Receipts
of factor income from the rest of the world
decreased, and payments of factor income increased; corporate profits accounted for most of
the decrease in receipts and more than accounted
for the increase in payments. The revised estimate of the growth in GNP is the same as the
preliminary estimate; in the second quarter, GNP
had increased 1.7 percent.
Real GNP on a command basis, which measures the goods and services produced by the
U.S. economy in terms of their purchasing
power, increased more than real GNP—3.5 percent, compared with 3.3 percent—reflecting an
improvement in the terms of trade.7 In the
second quarter, real GNP on a command-basis
also increased more than real GNP—2.0 percent,
compared with 1.7 percent.

Profits from current production increased $6.4
billion (0.8 percent at a quarterly rate) in the
third quarter after decreasing $8.6 billion in the
second (table 5).8 An increase in profits of
domestic nonfinancial corporations more than
offset a decrease in profits from the rest of the
world. Profits of domestic nonfinancial corporations increased $14.3 billion (2.4 percent) after
decreasing $6.1 billion, as unit profits and real
product increased; the increase in unit profits, in
turn, reflected a small increase in unit prices and
a small decrease in unit costs. Profits of domestic financial corporations decreased $0.6 billion
(0.4 percent) after decreasing $1.2 billion. Profits
from the rest of the world decreased $7.4 billion (j.6 percent) after decreasing $1.3 billion; the
third-quarter decrease mainly reflected a drop in
receipts of earnings from foreign affiliates.9
Cash flow from current production, a profitsrelated measure of internally generated funds
available for investment, increased $9.2 billion after decreasing $5.8 billion. The ratio of cash flow
to nonresidential fixed investment, an indicator
of the share of the current level of investment that

6. GNP equals GDP plus receipts of factor income from the rest of the
world less payments of factor income to the rest of the world.
7. In the estimation of command-basis GNP, the current-dollar value of
the sum of exports of goods and services and of receipts of factor income is
deflated by the implicit price deflator (IPD) for the sum of imports of goods
and services and of payments of factor income.
The terms of trade is a measure of the relationship between the prices
that are received by U.S. producers for exports of goods and services and the
prices that are paid by U.S. purchasers for imports of goods and services.
It is measured by the following ratio, with the decimal point shifted two
places to the right: In the numerator, the IPD for the sum of exports of
goods and services and of receipts of factor income; in the denominator,
the IPD for the sum of imports of goods and services and of payments of
factor income. Changes in the terms of trade reflect the interaction of several
factors, including movements in exchange rates, changes in the composition
of the traded goods and services, and changes in producers' profit margins.
For example, if the U.S. dollar depreciates against a foreign currency, a foreign
manufacturer may choose to absorb this cost by reducing the profit margin
on the product it sells to the United States, or it may choose to raise the
price of the product and risk a loss in market share.

8. Profits from current production is estimated as the sum of profits
before tax, the inventory valuation adjustment, and the capital consumption
adjustment; it is shown in NIPA tables 1.9,1.14,1.16, and 6.16c (which are part
of the "Selected NIPA Tables"; see page D-2 of this issue) as corporate profits
with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments.
Percent changes in profits are shown at quarterly, not annual, rates.
9. Profits from the rest of the world is calculated as (1) receipts by U.S.
residents of earnings from their foreign affiliates plus dividends received by
U.S. residents from unaffiliated foreign corporations minus (2) payments by
U.S. affiliates of earnings to their foreign parents plus dividends paid by U.S.
corporations to unaffiliated foreign residents. These estimates include capital
consumption adjustments (but not inventory valuation adjustments) and are
derived from BEA'S international transactions accounts.

increased to 86.7 percent from 84.8 percent;
the increase followed four consecutive decreases.
The average quarterly ratio for 1991-97 was 91.9
percent.
Domestic industry profits and related measures.—
Domestic industry profits increased $8.3 billion
after decreasing $11.9 billion.10 Profits of domestic
nonfinancial corporations increased $9.5 billion
after decreasing $9.9 billion, mainly reflecting upturns in the transportation and public utilities
group (which includes communications) and in
"other" nonmanufacturing. In manufacturing,
profits increased slightly after a decrease; profits of durable goods manufacturers increased a
little more than in the second quarter, and profits of nondurable goods manufacturers decreased
somewhat less than in the second quarter.
10. Domestic industry profits are estimated as the sum of corporate profits
before tax and the inventory valuation adjustment; they are shown in NIPA
table 6.16c (on page D-16 of this issue). Estimates of the capital consumption
adjustment do not exist at a detailed industry level; they are available only
for total financial and total nonfinancial industries.

decreased $1.2 billion after decreasing $1.9 billion.
Profits before tax (PBT) decreased $3.0 billion
after increasing $4.4 billion. More than half of the
difference between this decrease and the $6.4 billion increase in profits from current production
was accounted for by a $5.4 billion increase in the
capital consumption adjustment.11 The rest of the
difference was accounted for by larger inventory
losses, as reflected in a $3.9 billion increase in the
inventory valuation adjustment.12 £ 3
11. The capital consumption adjustment converts depreciation valued at
historical cost and based on service lives and depreciation patterns specified
in the tax code to depreciation valued at replacement cost and based on
empirical evidence on the prices of used equipment and structures in resale
markets. For information on depreciation in the NIPA'S, see Arnold J. Katz
and Shelby W. Herman, "Improved Estimates of Fixed Reproducible Tangible
Wealth, 1929-95," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 77 (May 1997).

12. As prices change, companies that value inventory withdrawals at original acquisition (historical) costs may realize inventory profits or losses.
Inventory profits—a capital-gains-like element in profits—result from an increase in inventory prices, and inventory losses—a capital-loss-like element
in profits—result from a decrease in inventory prices. In the NIPA'S, inventory profits or losses are reflected in business incomes (profits before tax and
nonfarm proprietors' income) and are removed by the inventory valuation
adjustment (IVA); a negative IVA removes inventory profits, and a positive IVA
removes inventory losses.

NOTES.—Manufacturing inventories are classified by the type of product produced by the establishment holding
the inventory. Trade inventories are classified by the type of product sold by the establishment holding the inventory.
Chained (1992) dollar inventory series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the
average of the end-of-year fixed-weighted inventories for 1991 and 1992, divided by 100. Because the formula for
the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates
are usually not additive.

NOTES.—Manufacturing inventories are classified by the type of product produced by the establishment holding
the inventory.
Chained (1992) dollar inventory series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the
average of the end-of-year fixed-weighted inventories for 1991 and 1992, divided by 100. Because the formula for
the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates
are usually not additive.

Robert Eisner, 1922-98

Robert Eisner's Contributions to Economic Measurement
ROBERT EISNER, WILLIAM R. Kenan Emeritus Professor of Northwestern University, died late last year. He
will be remembered for his many contributions to the
understanding of investment and consumption behavior, macroeconomic theory, and fiscal and monetary
policy. At the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
and at economic statistics agencies around the world,
he will also be remembered for his work on extensions of the national economic accounts, which, in
some sense, may be his most fundamental contribution. Indeed, his approach to economics is illustrated
by his choice of topic for his 1988 presidential address
to the American Economic Association—"Divergences
of Measurement and Theory and Some Implications
for Economic Policy."1 A decade earlier, he reminded
other economists that while we may "know the pitfalls
of measurement without theory..we may occasionally
forget the strength and life that theory must draw from
measurement."2 His empirical work continuously influenced his approach to theory, and his theoretical
work led to his passionate calls for improvements in
economic statistics.
In the last two decades, many of Eisner's policy
prescriptions for the budget deficit, trade, and social
security were based on adjustments to related measures that he had advocated and that he had made to
correct for the effects of inflation and other distortions. But his interest in measurement issues dates
to much earlier in his career (see the selected bibliography). While he was working as an economist
and statistician for the U.S. Government and earning his master's degree in economics from Columbia
University and then his doctorate from Johns Hopkins University, he participated in discussions about
the importance of measurement to theory. In 1951,
he commented that survey data "should prove of increasing value in giving empirical content to economic
theory," and by the early 1970's, he was an active participant in the long-standing (and continuing) debate
about expanding the conventional measures of income
and output.3
Eisner's later work on expanding the national accounts was motivated by the effects of measurement
on theory and policy. In his 1988 presidential address, he stated his belief that many of the Nation's
economic concerns were at least partly the result of
1. See "Divergences of Measurement and Theory and Some Implications
for Economic Policy" in the selected bibliography.
2. See "New Twists to Income and Product" in the selected bibliography.
3. See the Comment on "The Contribution of Consumer Anticipations
in Forecasting Consumer Demand" in the selected bibliography.




problems in the measures of income and output and of
investment, savings, and deficits. He pointed out that
conventional income and output measures excluded
household production, capital gains, the services of
consumer durables and government capital, and the
effects of inflation on asset values and that these exclusions affected our view of trends in income, output,
and productivity. For example, the entry of women
into the labor force may result in a decline in measured labor productivity if they disproportionately fill
lower paying or lower productivity jobs. However, it
may result in an increase in actual productivity if these
jobs are more productive than the unpaid jobs that
they performed in the home.
In addition, Eisner pointed out that assessing the
adequacy of either public or private investment and
saving requires that investment measures consistently
include all purchases of goods and services that produce a stream of benefits over time. For instance,
the purchase of a building by the government should
be counted as investment, just as the purchase of
a building by a business is counted as investment.
He also argued that investments in natural resources
and in intangibles such as human capital (education)
and technology (research and development) should be
treated as investment. Additionally, he stressed the
importance of adjustments for inflation and of measuring both flows and changes in the value of stocks
in assessing the adequacy of saving and investment.
The effects of implementing Eisner's proposed
changes can be significant. For instance, as he pointed
out, establishing a capital account for government and
adjusting the Federal debt for the effects of inflation
would produce a significantly different picture of the
Federal budget deficit and would significantly reduce
the gap between the U.S. saving rate and foreign national saving rates. Establishing measures of private
saving and investment that treat purchases of automobiles and other consumer durables as investment
would significantly raise the measures of private saving. Moreover, presenting changes in the stock of
wealth as part of a framework that also shows measures of saving from current income would help make
those measures particularly useful for understanding
savings behavior today, as the recent drop in personal
savings from current income is undoubtedly related
to the unprecedented stock-market-related gains in
household wealth. Finally, adjusting the value of foreign direct investments for the effects of inflation
would significantly reduce the size of the U.S. position

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
as a net debtor nation and would thus mitigate concerns about the adverse effects of the mounting trade
deficits.
Eisner's calls for improvements did not fall on deaf
ears. His research has left its imprint on the economic
accounts of the United States and of other countries
around the world. His work on household production, the capitalization of expenditures on research
and development, investment in human capital, and
environmental accounting inspired a large volume of
work at BEA and internationally.4 In addition, his
work significantly affected a number of BEA'S key economic aggregates. In 1992, BEA revalued its estimates
of the international investment position along the lines
he suggested. As part of the 1995 comprehensive revision of the national income and product accounts,
BEA moved toward a symmetric treatment of government investment with private investment. And in the
upcoming comprehensive revision, BEA plans to better
integrate its income and wealth estimates and to move
toward the capitalization of computer software.
Eisner's influence on accounting conventions is also
reflected in the improvements in the most recent international guidelines for national accounting, which
were published in the System of National Accounts
1993-5 These guidelines emphasize the importance
of integrating income and wealth accounts, the need
to distinguish between nominal and real changes in
wealth (and in debt), the need to capitalize computer
software and other intangible investments, and the
importance of satellite or supplementary accounts in
developing expanded sets of accounts.
Eisner's lasting influence reflects not only his research but also his willingness to roll up his sleeves
and work with statistical agencies. Over the years,
he served as a trusted consultant, adviser, critic, and
friend to BEA. In 1998, he provided comments to BEA
on its satellite accounts, offered advice on long-term
plans, and served «as a distinguished member of the
National Academy of Sciences blue-ribbon panel on
4. Eisner was not alone in his advocacy of extended income and product
accounts. Richard and Nancy Ruggles, William Nordhaus and James Tobin,
and John Kendrick, among others, all proposed extensions of the accounts.
Like Eisner, they also constructed new frameworks of accounts that illustrated
the effects of their proposed modifications. Their alternative frameworks provided the underpinnings for further research at BEA. For example, see Arnold

Wealth 29, no. 4 (December 1983): 405-27; J. Steven Landefeld, Frank Martin,

U.S. International Transactions,
Third Quarter 1998
By Harlan W. King

HE u.s. current-account deficit—the combined balances on trade in goods and
T
services, investment income, and net unilateral

down from $109.8 billion (revised) in the second,
mostly as a result of a large shift to net U.S. sales
of foreign securities and a slowdown in outflows
for U.S. direct investment abroad. Capital inflows for foreign assets in the United States were
$112.9 billion, down from $164.9 billion; a shift to
net private foreign sales of U.S. Treasury securities, a sharp decrease in net foreign purchases of
U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securities, and accelerated sales of foreign official assets
were partly offset by a sizable step-up in liabilities reported by U.S. banks. Net recorded inflows
were $64.8 billion, up from $55.1 billion.2
The statistical discrepancy—errors and omissions in recorded transactions—was a negative

transfers—increased to $61.3 billion in the third
quarter of 1998 from $56.7 billion (revised) in
the second quarter (table A, chart 1).1 The increase was accounted for by an increase in the
deficit on investment income, a decrease in the
surplus on services, and an increase in net unilateral transfers. The deficit on goods was virtually

• The deficit on goods was virtually unchanged, as both exports and imports
declined.
• The surplus on services continued to
decrease.
• The deficit on investment income continued
to rise.
• U.S. transactions in foreign securities shifted
to substantial net sales from large net purchases, reflecting heightened uncertainty in
global financial markets.
• Net foreign purchases of U.S. Treasury and
other U.S. securities slowed sharply in response to the rising uncertainty in the U.S.
bond and stock markets.
• U.S. banks' liabilities increased substantially,
partly in response to investors' intensified
aversion to risk in securities markets and to
their increased desire for liquidity.

The developments described above both influenced, and in turn were influenced by, movements of the U.S. dollar in foreign exchange markets. Economic fundamentals—relative rates of
economic growth, inflation, and interest—were
important in the markets' valuation of currencies, but other factors also played a significant
role. These factors included market participants'
changing perceptions of the seriousness of the
financial difficulties in Russia and in Asian countries and the course of Europe's movement to
monetary union and a single currency.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
In the third quarter, the value of the U.S. dollar
was unchanged on a trade-weighted quarterly average basis against the currencies of 10 industrial
countries (table B, chart 2). However, during the
quarter, the dollar was buffeted by considerable
turmoil in world financial markets—including
sharp declines in stock prices worldwide and an
acceleration in the decline in interest yields in
the first half of the quarter and instability of
exchange rates in the developing countries in
the second half. In this environment, investors
sought liquidity and high-quality assets in order
to counter the increased volatility and uncertainty
in the markets. These events contributed to a
sharp depreciation of the dollar against the European currencies, particularly late in the quarter,
that was nearly offset by appreciation against the
Japanese yen.
Against the German mark, the dollar depreciated 2 percent on a quarterly average basis. The
depreciation reflected rising expectations that the
economic slowdown in Asia and the turmoil in
global financial markets might lead to an easing of U.S. monetary policy and that Germany
might raise interest rates before the beginning of
the European Economic and Monetary Union in
January 1999. Prospects appeared promising that
preparations for the European Monetary Union
would proceed on schedule amid signs of further
convergence in interest rates. The sharp decline
in U.S. stock prices may also have contributed to
sales of U.S. dollars against the German mark.
The U.S. dollar appreciated 3 percent against
the Japanese yen, but it fluctuated sharply within
the quarter. Early in the quarter, the dollar
rose to an 8-year high against the yen, reflecting pessimism over the political situation and the
difficulties in the financial sector in Japan. The
dollar declined later in the quarter, as the financial turmoil appeared to affect markets in the
United States as well as in Japan.
Against the currencies of the emerging-market
countries in Asia, the U.S. dollar appreciated 18
percent against the Indonesian rupiah, 10 percent against the Philippine peso, 5 percent against
the Singapore dollar, 3 percent against the Taiwan dollar, and 2 percent against the Thai baht.
These appreciations occurred mostly following
Russia's declaration of a debt moratorium and
the devaluation of the ruble in mid-August. In
other markets, measures were taken to control
the instability of the currencies: In Malaysia,
currency controls were imposed and floating exchange rates were replaced by fixed rates; in
Hong Kong, intervention in its equity markets

products, metals and nonmetallic products, paper and paper base stocks, and textile supplies
and related materials. Nearly one-half of the decrease was to Canada; exports to Japan and other
Asian countries continued to decline. Partly offsetting these decreases was a $2.7 billion increase
in capital goods. This increase was more than
accounted for by a $3.3 billion surge in civilian
aircraft, engines, and parts that reflected record
deliveries of completed aircraft to Japan and
other Asian countries and stronger sales of engines and parts to Western Europe. Among other
capital goods, semiconductors increased substantially; computers, peripherals, and parts increased
slightly; and "other industrial, agricultural, and
service industry machinery" fell for the fourth
consecutive quarter.

Current Account
Goods and services
The deficit on goods and services increased to
$45.8 billion in the third quarter from $43.9 billion in the second. The deficit on goods was
virtually unchanged at $64.4 billion, and the surplus on services decreased to $18.6 billion from
$20.6 billion.
Goods.—The deficit on goods was virtually unchanged at $64.4 billion. Both exports and
imports decreased nearly equally.

Agricultural exports decreased $0.8 billion, or
6 percent, to $12.3 billion. Quantities decreased
4 percent, and prices decreased 2 percent. In
current dollars, meat products and poultry decreased $0.2 billion, mainly to Russia and Japan.
Wheat declined $0.1 billion, also to Japan, as
wheat prices were depressed by large supplies and
weak demand. Rice declined $0.1 billion, mainly
to Latin America, and other feed grains also declined $0.1 billion, mainly to Mexico, China, and
the Netherlands. Vegetables, fruits, nuts, and
preparations also decreased.

Exports.—Exports decreased $1.3 billion, or
nearly 1 percent, to $163.6 billion in the third
quarter. Quantities increased less than 1 percent,
and prices decreased 1 percent (table C).3
Nonagricultural exports decreased $0.5 billion,
or less than 1 percent, to $151.3 billion. Quantities increased 1 percent, and prices decreased
1 percent. In current dollars, automotive vehicles, engines, and parts decreased $1.7 billion and
more than accounted for the decrease in nonagricultural exports. A strike in the automotive
industry in North America, which ended on July
29, slowed shipments of automotive engines and
parts to Canada, where U.S. manufactured parts
are generally assembled and then reexported to
the United States. Nonagricultural industrial
supplies and materials decreased $1.2 billion; the
widespread decrease included chemicals, energy

Imports.—Imports decreased $1.3 billion, or less
than 1 percent, to $227.9 billion in the third quarter. Quantities increased 1 percent, and prices
decreased nearly 2 percent (table C). In current
dollars, all of the decrease was accounted for by
petroleum and products.
Imports of petroleum and products decreased
$1.3 billion, or 10 percent, to $12.2 billion, the
lowest level since the first quarter of 1994. Prices
dropped to $11.60 per barrel—the lowest level
since the third quarter of 1986—from $12.51 per
barrel. The drop was attributable to a large

global inventory that was mostly due to output
above OPEC quotas and to reduced demand in
Asia. The average number of barrels imported
daily decreased to 11.5 million from 11.8 million.
Both production and inventories decreased, and
consumption increased.
Nonpetroleum imports were virtually unchanged at $215.7 billion. Quantities increased
1 percent, and prices decreased 1 percent. In
current dollars, capital goods, except automotive,
decreased $0.9 billion—the first decrease since
the third quarter of 1996. Semiconductors accounted for $0.5 billion of the decrease; imports,
mostly from Asia, were restrained by low import
prices and weak demand. Among other hightechnology commodities, computers, peripherals,
and parts from Japan and Canada and telecommunications equipment, mostly from Canada,
also declined. Automotive vehicles, engines, and
parts decreased $0.7 billion. Most of the decrease was in imports of passenger vehicles from
Canada (reflecting limited production as a result
of a North American auto strike), Germany, Mexico, and the Republic of Korea. Foods, feeds, and
beverages and consumer goods each decreased
slightly. Partly offsetting these decreases was a
$0.5 billion increase in nonpetroleum industrial
supplies and materials that was attributable to an
increase in nonmonetary gold.
Balances by area.—The deficit on goods remained
unchanged at $64.4 billion in the third quarter.4
Increases in the deficits with developing countries were offset by decreases in the deficits with
industrial countries.
Among the developing countries, the deficit
with Asia increased $6.5 billion, $2.9 billion of
which was accounted for by China, $0.7 billion
by Hong Kong, and $0.6 billion by Taiwan. The
deficit with Latin America decreased $1.7 billion,
all of which was accounted for by Mexico. The
deficit with Africa decreased $0.9 billion, $0.6 billion of which was accounted for by the African
members of OPEC.
Among the industrial countries, the deficit
with Japan decreased $1.8 billion, the deficit with
Western Europe decreased $1.0 billion, and the
deficit with Canada, $1.0 billion.
4. Seasonally adjusted estimates for areas and countries are derived by
applying seasonal factors for total U.S. agricultural and nonagricultural exports to the unadjusted agricultural and nonagricultural exports for areas and
-countries and by applying seasonal factors for total U.S. petroleum and nonpetroleum imports to the unadjusted petroleum and nonpetroleum imports
for areas and countries. (The seasonal factors are derived from the seasonal
adjustment of U.S. exports and U.S. imports by five-digit end-use commodity
category.) The components are then summed to derive seasonally adjusted
exports and imports for areas and countries.

Services.—The surplus on services decreased to
$18.6 billion in the third quarter from $20.6 billion in the second, as exports (receipts) decreased
while imports (payments) remained virtually unchanged. A drop in travel receipts accounted for
most of the decrease in services exports.
Foreign visitors to the United States spent $16.7
billion, down from $18.1 billion; receipts from
overseas visitors (excluding visitors from Canada
and Mexico) decreased $1.0 billion as a result
of weakness in spending by visitors from Asia
and from Western Europe. U.S. residents spent
$13.0 billion abroad, down from $13.5 billion;
reduced expenditures by travelers overseas (excluding Canada and Mexico) accounted for most
of the drop.
Passenger fare receipts decreased substantially
to $4.7 billion, and passenger fare payments
decreased slightly to $4.6 billion.
"Other" transportation receipts increased slightly to $6.4 billion, as an increase in port expenditure receipts more than offset a decrease in freight
receipts. "Other" transportation payments increased to $7.6 billion, reflecting increased freight
payments and reduced port expenditures.
"Other" private service receipts increased to
$23.1 billion; affiliated services (U.S. cross-border
transactions between affiliated companies) were
virtually unchanged, and nearly all categories of
unaffiliated services.increased by small amounts.
"Other" private service payments increased to
$13.5 billion, mostly as a result of an increase in
affiliated services.
Transfers under U.S. military sales contracts
were slightly higher at $4.2 billion. Direct defense expenditures were virtually unchanged at
$3.1 billion.
Investment income
The deficit on investment income increased to
$5.5 billion in the third quarter from $3.4 billion
in the second.
Direct investment income.—Receipts of income on
U.S. direct investment abroad decreased to $24.7
billion in the third quarter from $25.8 billion in
the second. Decreases in earnings were largest in
Western Europe, the Caribbean, and Canada. A
strike in the automotive industry in North America decreased earnings of affiliates in Canada, and
falling oil prices contributed to the decline in
petroleum earnings. Earnings of Asian affiliates
remained depressed.
Payments of income on foreign direct investment in the United States increased to $11.1 billion

January 1999 •

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
from $10.7 billion. Earnings of affiliates of Western European and Japanese parents increased the
most. Much of the increase was in "other" industries (mainly depository institutions) and in
petroleum.
Other investment income.—"Other" private income receipts decreased to $34.8 billion in the
third quarter from $35.1 billion in the second.
The decrease was more than accounted for by reduced interest and dividend receipts on securities
holdings, as both holdings and yields declined.
Interest receipts on bank claims increased.
"Other" private income payments increased to
$32.1 billion from $31.6 billion. The increase was
accounted for by increased interest payments on
bank liabilities, mostly as a result of increased
liabilities. In contrast, interest and dividend payments on U.S. securities decreased, as holdings
of stocks declined and bond yields fell.
Unilateral transfers
Net unilateral transfers were $10.1 billion in the
third quarter, up from $9.4 billion in the second.
The increase largely resulted from an increase in
U.S. Government grants.
Capital Account
Net recorded capital inflows were $64.8 billion in
the third quarter, up from $55.1 billion in the second (revised). Capital inflows for foreign assets
in the United States decreased less rapidly than
capital outflows for U.S. assets abroad.
U.S. assets abroad
U.S. assets abroad increased $48.1 billion in the
third quarter, following a $109.8 billion increase

in the second. Transactions in foreign securities
shifted to net U.S. sales, and the increase in U.S.
direct investment abroad slowed.
U.S. official reserve assets.—U.S. official reserve
assets increased $2.0 billion in the third quarter, following a $1.9 billion increase in the second
(table D). The increase in the third quarter was
mostly accounted for by an increase in the U.S.
reserve position in the International Monetary
Fund.
Claims reported by banks.—U.S. claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks increased $28.3
billion in the third quarter, following an increase
of $24.6 billion in the second. Most of the thirdquarter increase was accounted for by an increase
in banks' own claims; banks' customers' claims
also rose.
Banks' own claims payable in dollars increased
$26.5 billion, following an increase of $40.3 billion. The third-quarter increase consisted of large
and partly offsetting movements. Foreign-owned
banks in the United States sharply accelerated
their lending, mostly to home offices, in August and September, when demand for bank
credit abroad accelerated. After the Russian debt
moratorium and devaluation of the ruble in midAugust and after other developments in several
emerging-market countries, investors' increased
aversion to risk led them to shift substantial
amounts of borrowing from the securities markets to banks. The increase in claims was partly
offset by a reduction in U.S.-owned banks' claims
on their offices in the United Kingdom and by a
cutback in U.S. securities dealers' loans to international bond mutual funds in the Caribbean late
in the quarter, mainly in response to problems

associated with a large U.S.-based leveraged-bond
mutual fund.
Banks' domestic customers' claims payable in
dollars increased $3.2 billion, following a decrease
of $1.3 billion. Turbulence in overseas financial
markets heightened these investors' desire for liquidity and quality in the third quarter, prompting
increased dollar-denominated deposits, mostly in
the United Kingdom and Canada, and continued
avoidance of investments in foreign commercial
paper.

Net U.S. sales of foreign bonds resulted from
a sharp reduction in new issues placed in the
United States, following near-record secondquarter placements, and from a shift to net sales
of outstanding foreign bonds. Most new issues
were placed early in the quarter before the Russian debt moratorium and devaluation of the
ruble were announced and before risk premiums in emerging-country debt markets moved
sharply higher; thereafter, new issue placements
from Latin American and Asian issuers declined
substantially. In contrast, new issues from highForeign securities.—Transactions in foreign secu- quality borrowers from Western Europe and

Net sales to most European countries increased,
particularly to the United Kingdom, Switzerland,
the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, and Sweden.
Net sales to Japan slowed: The Japanese economy remained depressed; the financial sector
remained weak; and stock prices hit a 12-year
low. Net sales of emerging-market stocks continued, except for net purchases from Singapore
and from Caribbean finance centers.
Direct investment.—Net capital outflows for U.S.
direct investment abroad were $21.2 billion in
the third quarter, down from $40.6 billion in
the second. Net equity outflows dropped substantially, partly reflecting fewer large acquisitions
than in the second quarter. Despite the decline
in equity flows, major acquisitions occurred in
Canada and Latin America. Net intercompany
debt shifted to net inflows, largely from Australia, Europe, and Latin America and mostly
in the form of repayments of loans to overseas
affiliates. Reinvested earnings decreased, partly
reflecting reduced earnings of affiliates in Europe,
the Caribbean, and Canada.
Foreign assets in the United States
Foreign assets in the United States increased
$112.9 billion in the third quarter, following a
$164.9 billion increase in the second. Capital

sharply, transactions in U.S. Treasury securities
shifted to small net outflows, and capital outflows of foreign official assets accelerated. Partly
offsetting were larger inflows for foreign direct investment in the United States and sharply higher
inflows into U.S. banks.
Foreign official assets.—Foreign official assets in
the United States decreased $46.4 billion in the
third quarter, following a $10.3 billion decrease
in the second (table D). Most of the thirdquarter decrease was accounted for by a few
nonindustrial countries.
Liabilities reported by banks.—U.S. liabilities reported by U.S. banks, excluding U.S. Treasury
securities, increased $82.7 billion in the third
quarter, following an increase of $37.7 billion
in the second. Banks' own liabilities increased
as a result of receiving large amounts of funds
through own foreign offices, as foreigners faced
escalating uncertainty in financial markets and
U.S. banks borrowed heavily from abroad to finance large-scale overseas lending. In addition,
banks reported an exceptionally large increase in
banks' custody liabilities.
Banks' own liabilities payable in dollars increased $47.6 billion, following a $42.6 billion
increase. Foreign-owned banks in the United
States funded their large overseas lending by
borrowing from overseas offices, mostly in the
Caribbean and Japan. U.S.-owned banks borrowed from their overseas offices, mostly in the
United Kingdom and the Caribbean.
Banks' custody liabilities payable in dollars increased $34.2 billion, following an increase of $5.1
billion; the pickup was mostly due to uncertainty
in financial markets abroad. The large buildup of
custody liabilities reflected inflows from overseas
placements of short-term paper by U.S. nonbanks
as long-term debt became riskier during a period
of financial market uncertainty.
U.S. Treasury securities.—Foreign private transactions in U.S. Treasury securities shifted to net
sales of $0.3 billion in the third quarter from net
purchases of $26.9 billion in the second (chart 3).
Even though gross trading volume increased substantially, net foreign purchases of U.S. Treasury
bonds dropped to $2.2 billion from $30.3 billion. The drop reflected the following factors:
A narrowing of the yield differential favoring
U.S. Treasury bonds, as interest rates on these
bonds fell faster than the rates on most government bonds in industrialized countries (chart 4);
a flattening of the yield curve on U.S. Treasury
securities and a widening of the spread favoring

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

U.S. nongovernment bonds; sales by overseas
hedge funds, primarily in the Caribbean, of U.S.
Treasury bonds to meet their margin calls; and
late in the quarter, a weakening in the U.S. dollar's exchange value against the yen and most
European currencies. These negative factors were
partly offset by a steep rise in U.S. Treasury bond
prices and the resulting opportunity to secure
large capital gains, especially late in the quarter,
and by a surge to higher quality debt instruments
in reaction to uncertainty in world financial markets. Small net purchases from Western Europe,
Japan, and other Asian countries were offset by
large net sales from the Caribbean.
Other U.S. securities.—Net foreign purchases of
U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securities
were $22.9 billion in the third quarter, down from
$71.0 billion in the second (chart 3).
Net foreign purchases of U.S. corporate and
other bonds were $28.3 billion, about half the
second-quarter record of $56.9 billion. The U.S.
corporate bond market faltered as the interestrate spread over U.S. Treasury issues widened to
the largest differential in a decade; risk premiums rose significantly as international investors
became more averse to corporate risk, especially
after the Russian debt moratorium in August.
Additionally, large losses from highly leveraged
bond hedge funds had increased the intensity of
concern about U.S. corporate risk. Consequently,
the U.S. bond market became more segmented,
as higher graded and more liquid issues per-

formed better than riskier and less liquid issues.
New issues abroad by U.S. corporations, including federally sponsored agencies, declined to $18.2
billion from $21.6 billion. The riskier segment
of the market declined 24 percent because lower
quality borrowers postponed borrowing. Net foreign purchases of outstanding bonds dropped to
$12.2 billion from $24.3 billion.
Foreign transactions in U.S. stocks shifted to
net sales of $5.4 billion from net purchases of
$14.1 billion. Fears that the broadening economic
slowdown in Asia, in Russia, and perhaps in the
United States would weaken corporate profits and
heightened international aversion to risky assets
contributed to a 10-percent decline in U.S. stock
prices and to the shift to net foreign sales. Net
sales of $18.6 billion were mostly from international mutual funds based in the Caribbean. In
contrast, European countries continued as net
purchasers, though their net purchases of $13.7
billion were down substantially from the second
quarter.
U.S. currency.—Net U.S. currency shipments
were $7.3 billion in the third quarter, up from $2.3
billion in the second.
Direct investment.—Net capital inflows for foreign direct investment in the United States were
$27.1 billion in the third quarter, compared with
$19.1 billion in the second. The step-up was more
than accounted for by a doubling of net equity
inflows, including especially large acquisitions by
Canadian parents. The largest increases were
from Canada and continental Europe. Reinvested
earnings increased, largely from continental Europe. Net intercompany debt inflows decreased
sharply.
Revisions
The second-quarter current-account balance and
its components were revised to reflect the incorporation of newly available and revised source
data. The current-account deficit was revised up
to $56.7 billion from $56.5 billion. The goods
deficit was revised down to $64.4 billion from
$64.8 billion; the services surplus was revised
down to $20.6 billion from $20.9 billion; the
deficit on investment income was revised up to
$3.4 billion from $3.2 billion; and net unilateral
transfers were revised up to $9.4 billion from $9.3
billion.
The second-quarter net capital inflows and
their components were revised down to $55.1
billion from $65.9 billion.

FOOTNOTES TO U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS TABLES 1-10
General notes for all tables: P Preliminary.
^

r

Revised.

*Less than $500,000 ( ± )

Suppressed to avoid disclosure of data of individual companies.

Table 1:
1. Credits, +: Exports of goods, services, and income; unilateral transfers to United States; capital inflows (increase
in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in U.S. assets); decrease in U.S. official reserve assets; increase in foreign
official assets in the United States.
Debits, —: Imports of goods, services, and income; unilateral transfers to foreigners; capital outflows (decrease
in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or increase in U.S. assets); increase in U.S. official reserve assets; decrease in foreign
offical assets in the United States.
2. Excludes exports of goods under U.S. military agency sales contracts identified in Census export documents,
excludes imports of goods under direct defense expenditures identified in Census import documents, and reflects various
other adjustments (for valuation, coverage, and timing) of Census statistics to balance of payments basis; see table 2.
3. Includes some goods: Mainly military equipment in line 4; major equipment, other materials, supplies, and petroleum
products purchased abroad by U.S. military agencies in line 18; and fuels purchased by airline and steamship operators in
lines 7 and 21.
4. Includes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs.
5. Beginning in 1982, these lines are presented on a gross basis. The definition of exports is revised to exclude U.S.
parents' payments to foreign affiliates and to include U.S. affiliates' receipts from foreign parents. The definition of imports
is revised to include U.S. parents' payments to foreign affiliates and to exclude U.S. affiliates' receipts from foreign parents.
6. Beginning in 1982, the "other transfers" component includes taxes paid by U.S. private residents to foreign
governments and taxes paid by private nonresidents to the U.S. Government.
7. For all areas, amounts outstanding September 30,1998, were as follows in millions of dollars: Line 34,75,675; line
35,11,044; line 36,10,106; line 37,21,644; line 38,32,882. Data are preliminary.
8. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
9. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible and nonconvertible bonds
and notes.
10. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere, and of debt securities of
U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
11. Includes, primarily, U.S. Government liabilities associated with military agency sales contracts and other
transactions arranged with or through foreign official agencies; see table 4.
12. Consists of investments in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations and State and local
governments.
13. Conceptually, the sum of lines 71 and 63 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the national income and product
accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the international
transactions accounts for the treatment of gold, (b) includes adjustments for the different geographical treatment of transactions with U.S. territories and Puerto Rico, and (c) includes services furnished without payment by financial pension
plans except life insurance carriers and private noninsured pension plans. A reconciliation of the balance on goods and
services from the international accounts and the NIPAnet exports appears in the "Reconciliation and Other Special Tables"
section in this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. A reconciliation of the other foreign transactions in the two sets of
accounts appears in table 4.5 of the full set of NIPA tables (published annually in the August issue of the SURVEY).
Additional footnotes for historical data in July issues of the SURVEY:
.
14. For 1974, includes extraordinary U.S. Government transactions with india. See "Special U.S. Government
Transactions," June 1974 SURVEY, p. 27.
15. For 1978-83, includes foreign currency-denominated notes sold to private residents abroad.
16. Break in series. See Technical Notes in the June 1989, June 1990, June 1992, June 1993, June 1995, and July
1996-98 issues of the SURVEY.
Table 2:
1. Exports, Census basis, represent transactions values, f.a.s. U.S. port of exportation, for all years; imports, Census
basis, represent Customs values (see Technical Notes in the June 1982 SURVEY), except for 1974-61, when they represent
transactions values, f.a.s. foreign port of exportation (see June issues of the SURVEY for historical data).
From 1983 forward, both unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data have been prepared by BEA from "actual" and
"revised statistical" month data supplied by the Census Bureau (see Technical Notes in the December 1985 SURVEY).
Seasonally adjusted data reflect the application of seasonal factors developed jointly by Census and BEA. The seasonally adjusted data are the sum of seasonally adjusted five-digit end-use categories (see Technical Notes in the June
1980 SURVEY, in the June 1988 SURVEY, and in the June 1991 SURVEY). Prior to 1983, annual data are as published by
the Census Bureau, except that for 1975-80 published Census data are adjusted to include trade between the U.S. Virgin
Islands and foreign countries.
2. Beginning in 1990, the Census Bureau replaced its compiled export statistics with counterpart Canadian import
statistics. Similarly, Statistics Canada replaced its compiled export statistics with counterpart U.S. import statistics. This
exchange of data has eliminated the need for the inland freight adjustment on U.S. exports, but not on U.S. imports.
3. Adjustments in lines A5 and A13, B12, B47, and B82 reflect the Census Bureau's reconciliation of discrepancies
between the goods statistics published by the United States and the counterpart statistics published in Canada. These
adjustments are distributed to the affected end-use categories in section C. Beginning in 1986, estimates for undocumented
exports to Canada, the largest item in the U.S.-Canadian reconciliation, are included in Census basis data shown in line
A1.
4. Exports of military equipment under U.S. military agency sales contracts with foreign governments (line A6), and
direct imports by the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard (line A14), to the extent such trade is identifiable from
Customs declarations. The exports are included in tables 1 and 10, line 4 (transfers under U.S. military agency sales
contracts); the imports are included in tables 1 and 10, line 18 (direct defense expenditures).
5. Addition of electrical energy; deduction of exposed motion picture film for rental rather than sale; net change in stock
of U.S.-owned grains in storage in Canada; coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted
from Census data; deduction of the value of repairs and alterations to foreign-owned equipment shipped to the United
States for repair; and the inclusion of fish exported outside of U.S. customs area. Also includes deduction of exports to the
Panama Canal Zone before October 1,1979, and for 1975-82, net timing adjustments for goods recorded in Census data
in one period but found to. have been shipped in another (see June issues of the SURVEY for historical data).
6. Coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data; the deduction of
the value of repairs and alterations to U.S.-owned equipment shipped abroad for repair; and the adjustment of software
imports to market value. Also includes addition of understatement of inland freight in f.a.s values of U.S. imports of goods
from Canada in 1974-81; deduction of imports from the Panama Canal Zone before October 1,1979; and for 1975-82,
net timing adjustments for goods recorded in Census data in one period but found to have been shipped in another (see
June issues of the SURVEY for historical data).
7. For 1988-89, correction for the understatement of crude petroleum imports from Canada.
8. Annual and unadjusted quarterly data shown in this table correspond to country and area data in table 10, lines 2
and 16. Trade with international organizations includes purchases of nonmonetary gold from the International Monetary
Fund, transfers of tin to the International Tin Council (ITC), and sales of satellites to Intelsat. The memoranda are defined
as follows: Industrial countries: Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa; Members
of OPEC. Venezuela, Ecuador, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Algeria, Libya,
Nigeria, and Gabon (Excludes Ecuador beginning in January 1993 and Gabon beginning in January 1995.); Other countries:
Eastern Europe, Latin America and Other Western Hemisphere, and other countries in Asia and Africa, less OPEC. Before
1984, complete geographic area detail was not available for some balance of payments adjustments. Therefore, the detail
shown does not always sum to the values shown for the area aggregates. For all years, "Asia" and "Africa" exclude certain
Pacific Islands and unidentified countries included in "Other countries in Asia and Africa."
9. Includes the former German Democratic Republic (East Germany) beginning in fourth quarter of 1990. In earlier
periods, the German Democratic Republic was included in Eastern Europe.
10. Beginning in 1986, New Zealand and South Africa are included in "Other countries in Asia and Africa," with New
Zealand included as part of "Asia" and South Africa as part of "Africa."
11. Includes nuclear fuel materials and fuels.
Table 3:
1. Patented techniques, processes, and formulas and other intangible property rights that are used in goods production.
2. Copyrights, trademarks, franchises, rights to broadcast live events, and other intangible property rights.
3. Other unaffiliated services receipts (exports) include mainly expenditures of foreign governments and international
organizations in the United States. Payments (imports) include mainly wages of foreign residents temporarily employed in
the United States and Canadian and Mexican commuters in U.S. border areas.




Table 4:
1. Expenditures to release foreign governments from their contractual liabilities to pay for military goods and services
purchased through military sales contracts—first authorized (for Israel) under Public Law 93-199, section 4, and subsequently authorized (for many recipients) under similar legislation—are included in line A3. Deliveries against these military
sales contracts are included in line C10; see footnote 2. Of the line A3 items, part of these military expenditures is applied
in lines A40 and A43 to reduce short-term assets previously recorded in lines A38 and C8; this application of funds is
excluded from lines C3 and C4. A second part of line A3 expenditures finances future deliveries under military sales
contracts for the recipient countries and is applied directly to lines A39 and C9. A third part of line A3, disbursed directly to
finance purchases by recipient countries from commercial suppliers in the United States, is included in line A34. A fourth
part of line A3, representing dollars paid to the recipient countries to finance purchases from countries other than the United
States, is included in line A45.
2. Transactions under military sales contracts are those in which the Department of Defense sells and transfers
military goods and services to a foreign purchaser, on a cash or credit basis. Purchases by foreigners directly from
commercial suppliers are not included as transactions under military sales contracts. The entries for the several categories
of transactions related to military sales contracts in this and other tables are partly estimated from incomplete data.
3. The identification of transactions involving direct dollar outflows from the United States is made in reports by each
operating agency.
4. Line A35 includes foreign currency collected as interest and line A40 includes foreign currency collected as principal,
as recorded in lines A13 and A14, respectively.
5. Includes (a) advance payments to the Department of Defense (on military sales contracts) financed by loans

in line A30.
Table 7:
1. Estimates of transactions other than those with U.S. banks' Caribbean branches and with financial intermediaries

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

January 1999

National Data
A. Selected NIPA Tables
The tables in this section include the most recent estimates of gross domestic product and its components;
these estimates were released on December 23, 1998 and include the "final" estimates for the third quarter of
1998.
The selected set of NIPA tables shown in this section presents quarterly estimates, which are updated monthly.
In most tables, the annual estimates are also shown. Most of the "annual only" NIPA tables were presented in
the August 1998 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS; table 8.26 was presented in the September 1998 SURVEY; and
the remaining "annual only" tables—tables 3.15-3.20 and 9.1-9.6—were presented in the October 1998 SURVEY.
The news release on gross domestic product (GDP) is available at the time of release, and the "Selected
NIPA Tables" are available later that day, on STAT-USA'S Economic Bulletin Board and Internet services; for
information, call STAT-USA on 202-482-1986. In addition, the GDP news release is available the afternoon of the
day of the release, and the "Selected NIPA Tables" a day or two later, on BEA'S Web site <www.bea.doc.gov>.
The "Selected NIPA Tables" are also available on printouts or diskettes from BEA. TO order NIPA subscription products using Visa or MasterCard, call the BEA Order Desk at 1-800-704-0415 (outside the United States,
202-606-9666).

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.
Percent changes from preceding period for selected items in this table are shown in table 8.1; contributions to
the percent change in real gross domestic product are shown in table 8.2.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.1.

NOTE.—Except as noted in footnotes 1 and 2, chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of
the chain-type quantity index and the 1992 current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because
the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chaineddollar estimates are usually not additive.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.3.

NOTE.-Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.4.

1. Gross government investment consists of general government and government enterprise expenditures for fixed
assets; inventory investment is included in government consumption expenditures.
2. Consumption expenditures for durable goods excludes expenditures classified as investment, except for goods
transferred to foreign countries by the Federal Government.
3. Compensation of government employees engaged in new force-account construction and related expenditures
for goods and services are classified as investment in structures. The compensation of all general government employees is shown in the addenda.
4. Consumption of fixed capital, or depreciation, is included in government consumption expenditures as a partial
measure of the value of the services of general government fixed assets; use of depreciation assumes a zero
net return on these assets.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines, excluding the
lines in the addenda.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.11.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line following the detail for exports is the difference between the aggregate "exports of goods and
services" and the sum of the detailed lines for exports of goods and export of services. The residual line following
the detail for imports is the difference between the aggregate "imports of goods and services" and the detailed
lines for imports of goods and imports of services.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.10.
See footnotes to table 4.3.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.6.

1. Beginning with 1982, this series is derived from the Census Bureau series "current cost inventories." For
earlier periods, it is derived from the Census Bureau "book value inventories" series. The series differ in the treatment of inventories reported on a last-in, first-out (UFO) basis: The series prior to 1982 is a mix of LIFO and
non-LIFO inventories; the series beginning with 1982 is entirely on a non-UFO basis.
2. Beginning with 1973, 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 inventories derived primarily from Census Bureau statistics (see footnote 1). This mix differs from that
underlying business income derived primarily from Internal Revenue Service statistics. Prior to 1973, the two IVA's
are the same because information required for separate estimates is not available.
3. Prior to 1981, inventories of auto and home supply stores are included in motor vehicle dealers. Beginning
with 1981, these inventories are included in "other durable goods."

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series for real change in business inventories are calculated as the period-to-period
change in chained-dollar end-of-period inventories. Quarterly changes in end-of-period inventories are stated at annual rates. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the
corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the difference between the first
line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

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

1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. Quarter-to-quarter changes calculated from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas, the change in the business inventories component of GDP is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Final sales of domestic business equals final sales of domestic product less
gross product of households and institutions and of general government and includes a small amount of final sales
by farm.
NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar inventory series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and
the average of the end-of-year fixed-weighted inventories for 1991 and 1992, divided by 100. Chained (1992) dollar
final sales series are calculated as the product of the chain-type index and the 1992 current-dollar value of the
corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more
than one period, the corresponding chained-doliar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines for inventories.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines, excluding the
lines in the addenda.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.18.

1. The current-dollar statistical discrepancy equals gross domestic product (GDP) measured as the sum of expenditures less gross domestic income—that is, GDP measured as the costs incurred and profits earned in domestic
production. The chained (1992) dollar statistical discrepancy equals the current-dollar discrepancy deflated by the
implicit price deflator for gross domestic business product.

NOTE—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

13. Conceptually, the sum of lines 71 and 63 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the national income and
product accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the
international-transactions accounts for the treatment of gold, (b) includes adjustments for the different geographical
treatment of transactions with U.S. territories and Puerto Rico, and (c) includes services furnished without payment
by financial pension plans except life insurance carriers and private noninsured pension plans. A reconciliation of
the balance on goods and services from the international accounts and the NIPA net exports appears on page
D-74 of this issue. A reconciliation of the other foreign transactions in the two sets of accounts appears in table
4.5 of the full set of NIPA tables (published annually in the August issue of the SURVEY).

NOTE.—The personal income level shown for the United States is derived as the sum of the State estimates,
It differs from the national income and product accounts (NIPA) estimate of personal income because, by definition,
it omits the earnings of Federal civilian and military personnel stationed abroad and of U.S. residents employed
abroad temporarily by private U.S. firms. It can also differ from the NIPA estimate because of different data sources

NOTE.—Totals shown for the United States differ from the national income and product account estimates of gross
domestic product (GDP) because GSP is derived from gross domestic income, which differs from GDP by the statistical discrepancy. In addition, GSP excludes and GDP includes the compensation of Federal civilian and military
personnel stationed abroad and government consumption of fixed capital for military structures located abroad and




for military equipment, except office equipment. Also, GSP and GDP have different revision schedules.

1. The personal income level shown for the United States is derived as the sum of the county estimates; it
differs from the national income and product accounts (NIPA) estimate of personal income because, by definition,
it omits the earnings of Federal civilian and military personnel stationed abroad and of U.S. residents employed
abroad temporarily by private U.S. firms. It can also differ from the NIPA estimate because of different data sources
and revision schedules.
2. Percent change was calculated from unrounded data.
3. Per capita personal income was computed using Census Bureau midyear population estimates. Estimates for
1994-96 reflect county population estimates available as of March 1998.
4. Includes Metropolitan Statistical Areas, Primary Metropolitan Statistical Areas (PMSA's designated by *), and

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Appendix A
Additional Information About BEA'S NIPA Estimates
Statistical Conventions
Changes in current-dollar GDP measure changes in the
market value of goods and services produced in the
economy in a particular period. For many purposes,
it is necessary to decompose these changes into quantity and pri,ce components. To compute the quantity
indexes, changes in the quantities of individual goods
and services are weighted by their prices. (Quantity
changes for GDP are often referred to as changes in
"real GDP") For the price indexes, changes in the prices
for individual goods and services are weighted by
quantities produced. (In practice, the current-dollar
value and price indexes for most GDP components are
determined largely using data from Federal Government surveys, and the real values of these components
are calculated by deflation at the most detailed level
for which all the required data are available.)
The annual changes in quantities and prices are
calculated using a Fisher formula that incorporates
weights from 2 adjacent years. (Similar formulas
are used to calculate the quarterly indexes for the
most recent quarters, called the "tail" period, and
for the indexes for the other quarters, called the
"historical period") For example, the 1996-97 annual percent change in real GDP uses prices for 1996
and 1997 as weights, and the 1996-97 annual percent
change in price uses quantities for 1996 and 1997 as
weights. These annual changes are "chained" (multiplied) together to form time series of quantity and
price. Because the Fisher formula allows for the effects
of changes in relative prices and in the compostion
of output over time, the resulting quantity or price
changes are not affected by the substitution bias that
is associated with changes in quantities and prices calculated using a fixed-weighted formula. The Fisher
formula also produces changes in quantites and prices
that are not affected by the choice of base periods. In
addition, because the changes in quantities and prices
calculated in this way are symmetric, the product of
a quantity index and the corresponding price index is
generally equal to the current-dollar index.
In addition, BEA prepares measures of real GDP
and its components in a dollar-denominated form,

(1992) dollar estimates and the percentage changes calculated from the quantity indexes are identical, except
for small differences due to rounding.
Because of the formula used for calculating real GDP,
the chained (1992) dollar estimates for detailed GDP
components do not add to the chained-dollar value of
GDP or to any intermediate aggregates. A "residual"
line is shown as the difference between GDP and the
sum of the most detailed components shown in each
table. The residual generally is small close to the base
period but tends to become larger as one moves further from it. NIPA table 8.2 provides accurate measures
of the contributions of the major components to the
percentage change in real GDP for all periods.
BEA also publishes the "implicit price deflator
(IPD)," which is calculated as the ratio of currentdollar value to the corresponding chained-dollar value,
multiplied by 100; the values of the IPD and of the
corresponding "chain-type" price index are very close.
For quarters and months, the estimates are presented at annual rates, which show the value that would
be registered if the rate of activity measured for a
quarter or a month were maintained for a full year.
Annual rates are used so that time periods of different lengths—for example, quarters and years—may be
compared easily. These annual rates are determined
simply by multiplying the estimated rate of activity by
4 (for quarterly data) or 12 (for monthly data).
Percent changes in the estimates are also expressed
at annual rates. Calculating these changes requires a
variant of the compound interest formula:
m/n

r =

x0)

- 1 x 100,

where r is the percent change at an annual rate;
Xt is the level of activity in the later period;
Xo is the level of activity in the earlier period;
m is the yearly periodicity of the data (for
example, 1 for annual data, 4 for quarterly,
or 12 for monthly); and
n is the number of periods between the
earlier and later periods (that is, t — 0).

designated "chained (1992) dollar estimates" These es-

timates are computed by multiplying the 1992 currentdollar value of GDP, or of a GDP component, by the
corresponding quantity index number. For example,
if a current-dollar GDP component equaled $100 in
1992 and if real output for this component increased
by 10 percent in 1993, then the "chained (1992) dollar"
value of this component in 1993 would be $110 ($100
X 1.10). Note that percentage changes in the chained




Quarterly and monthly NIPA estimates are seasonally
adjusted, if necessary. Seasonal adjustment removes
from the time series the average impact of variations that normally occur at about the same time and
in about the same magnitude each year—for example, weather, holidays, and tax payment dates. After
seasonal adjustment, cyclical and other short-term
changes in the economy stand out more clearly.
