The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) has a long tradition of
updating its statistics to better reflect the ever-changing economy.
Today, economists have increasingly pointed to the importance
of better measurement of the contribution of innovation to eco­
nomic growth. Over time, BEA has updated its accounts to reflect
the impact of innovative activity in important ways. For example,
in the 1980s, we worked with I B M to develop quality-adjusted
computer price indexes; in the 1990s, we capitalized spending on
software; and in 2006, we launched a research and development
satellite account. A BEA Briefing in this issue of the S u r v e y o f
C u r r e n t B u s in e s s discusses BEA’s plans to address key areas of in­
novation and how our core accounts might be affected.
Also this month, we’re pleased to launch a new Regional Quar­
terly Report. The goal of the new report is to provide a vehicle for
discussing a wide range of regional economic issues on a regular
basis. In this inaugural version, personal income statistics for the
third quarter of 2008 and newly available county compensation
statistics for 2007 are discussed.
This issue includes a discussion of the “final” estimates of
gross domestic product for the third quarter of 2008 and balance
of payments statistics for the third quarter of 2008.
It also includes our annual presentation of the current account
from an ownership point of view. This supplemental presenta­
tion counts the sales to foreigners that U.S. companies make
through their overseas subsidiaries as well as their sales to for­
eigners directly from parent companies located in the United
States.
As always, we’re interested in feedback from our users. Please
contact us via the methods noted at www.bea.gov/contacts/

Taking Account...
Travel Spending Turns
Down in Third Quarter
Real spending on travel and
tourism turned down sharply in
the third quarter of 2008, ac­
cording to recent estimates from
the Bureau of Economic Analy­
sis (BEA) travel and tourism sat­
ellite accounts. Spending at an
annual rate decreased 8.1 per­
cent— the largest decline since
the fourth quarter of 2001. In
the second quarter, spending
grew 2.8 percent (revised).
By comparison, real gross do­
mestic product declined at an
annual rate of 0.5 percent in the
third quarter of 2008 after grow­
ing 2.8 percent in the second
quarter.
Passenger air transportation
led the travel and tourism down­
turn, decreasing 20.4 percent in
the third quarter after decreasing
18.7 percent in the second quar­
ter. Real spending on interna­
tional flights fell sharply after
two quarters of strong demand;
spending on domestic flights de­
clined for the fourth consecutive
quarter.
Spending on accommoda­
tions turned down, decreasing
3.0 percent in the third quarter
after a strong 19.5 percent in­
crease in the second quarter. Ho­
tel occupancy fell and room
rates rose as more hotels elimi­
nated discounts.
Retail shopping by travelers
dropped for only the second
time in the past 3 V2 years, fall­
ing 6.9 percent in the third quar­
ter after rising 4.7 percent in the
second quarter.




Travel and tourism prices ac­
celerated, increasing 10.6 per­
cent following a 6.2 percent
increase. Transportation prices
accelerated, increasing 18.4 per­
cent after increasing 14.7 per­
cent. Prices for accommodations
turned up, increasing 5.0 per­
cent after decreasing 6.5 percent.
Employment supported di­
rectly by tourist spending fell 1.2
percent in the second quarter
(the most recent period for
which data are available). In the
first quarter, employment grew
1.0 percent. By comparison,
overall U.S. employment de­
creased 0.6 percent in the second
quarter of 2008 and 0.3 percent
in the first quarter.

Deputy Director Marcuss
Wins Service Award
Rosemary D. Marcuss, Deputy
Director of BEA, has been
awarded a 2008 Presidential
Rank Award as a Meritorious
member of the Federal Senior
Executive Service. The award is
presented annually to a select
group of federal executives for
sustained extraordinary accom­
plishments.
Among her achievements are
fostering professional develop­
ment of the BEA staff; expand­
ing outreach to the users of
BEA’s statistics, especially users
in the business community; and
bringing to BEA’s written mate­
rial, including the S u r v e y o f
C u r r e n t B u s i n e s s , clearer, more
accessible exposition.
Marcuss’s innovative solu­
tions helped enable BEA to con­

sistently implement its 5-year
strategic plan and the President’s
Management Agenda.
Under Marcuss’s direction,
both the U.S. Office of Manage­
ment and Budget and the U.S.
Office of Personnel Manage­
ment recognized BEA’s exem­
plary performance record with
some of the highest ratings in
the federal government.
Marcuss oversees the mod­
ernization of BEA’s statistical
production and dissemination
infrastructure and the opera­
tion of the BEA Web site. Under
her leadership, the Web site has
garnered customer satisfaction
scores that rank among the
highest in the government ac­
cording to the University of
Michigan American Satisfaction
Index. In 2006, as Acting Chief
Economist of BEA, she managed
the production of the first BEA
research and development satel­
lite account.

GDP and the Economy
Final Estimates for the Third Quarter of 2008
EAL GROSS domestic product (GDP) decreased
0.5 percent in the third quarter after increasing 2.8
percent in the second quarter, according to the “final”
estimates of the national income and product accounts
(chart 1 and table l ) .1 The rate of change in GDP was
unrevised from the “preliminary” estimate (page 3).2
The downturn in real GDP primarily reflected a
sharp downturn in consumer spending, a deceleration
in exports, a smaller decrease in imports, a decelera­
tion in nonresidential structures, a larger decrease in
equipment and software, and a deceleration in state
and local government spending.3 In contrast, inven­
tory investment turned up, and federal government
spending accelerated.
• Prices of goods and services purchased by U.S. resi­
dents increased 4.5 percent after increasing 4.2 per­
cent. Food prices accelerated, and energy prices
decelerated. Excluding food and energy, gross
domestic purchases prices increased 2.8 percent
after increasing 2.2 percent.
• Real disposable income (DPI) decreased 8.8 percent
after increasing 10.7 percent. The downturn
reflected a downturn in current-dollar DPI that
resulted from a deceleration in personal income and
an upturn in personal current taxes; both primarily
reflected the second-quarter effects of the rebates
from the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008.4
• The personal saving rate, personal saving as a per­
centage of current-dollar DPI, was 1.2 percent; in
the second quarter, it was 2.5 percent.
• Profits from current production decreased $18.5
billion, or 1.2 percent at a quarterly rate, after
decreasing $60.2 billion.

R

1. “Real” estimates are in chained (2000) dollars, and price indexes are
chain-type measures.
2. Each GDP estimate for a quarter (advance, preliminary, and final)
incorporates increasingly comprehensive and improved source data. More
information can be found at www.bea.gov/bea/about/infoqual.htm and
www.bea.gov/bea/faq/national/gdp_accuracy.htm. Quarterly estimates are
expressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, which assumes that a rate of
activity for a quarter is maintained for a year.
3. In this article, “consumer spending” refers to the NIPA series “personal
consumption expenditures,” “inventory investment” refers to “change in
private inventories,” and “government spending” refers to “government
consumption expenditures and gross investment.”
4. For more information about these rebates, see FAQ 490 on BEA’s Web
site.

Real GDP Overview

Table 1. Real Gross Domestic Product and Components

Consumer spending turned down sharply in the third
quarter, decreasing 3.8 percent after increasing 1.2
percent. The decrease, the largest since the second
quarter of 1980, reduced the third-quarter percent
change in real GDP by 2.75 percentage points. It re­
flected a downturn in nondurable goods, a larger de­
crease in durable goods, and a downturn in services.

Nonresidential fixed investment turned down, reflect­
ing a notable deceleration in structures and a larger
decrease in equipment and software. The downturn
subtracted 0.19 percentage point from the percent
change in real GDP after adding 0.27 percentage
point.

1. The estimates of GDP under the contribution columns are also percent changes.
Note. Percent changes are from NIPA table 1.1.1, contributions are from NIPA table 1.1.2, and shares
are from NIFA table 1.1.10.

Inventory investment turned up, adding 0.84 percent­
age point to the percent change in real GDP after sub­
tracting 1.50 percentage points.
Exports slowed, mainly reflecting a deceleration in ex­
ports of goods. Industrial supplies and materials
slowed, and “other” goods exports turned down. Ex­
ports of services decelerated.
Imports decreased less than in the second quarter, pri­
marily reflecting a much smaller third-quarter de­
crease in petroleum and petroleum products. Imports
of services turned up.
Government spending accelerated, mainly reflecting a
sharp acceleration in federal spending for national de­
fense. State and local government spending slowed.

GDP and Gross Domestic Purchases
In addition to gross domestic product (GDP), another
related measure of economic growth—gross domestic pur­
chases— is included in the national income and product
accounts (NIPAs).
GDP measures the market value of final goods and ser­
vices produced by labor and property in the United States,
including the goods that are added to, or subtracted from,
inventories. GDP is defined as the sum of consumer spend­
ing, business and residential investment, inventory invest­
ment, government spending, and exports less imports.
Gross domestic purchases is defined as GDP less exports
plus imports. It measures domestic demand for goods and
services regardless of their origin. Exports represent foreign
demand for U.S. goods and services. Subtracting exports




from GDP yields a measure of expenditures that focuses on
domestic buyers. Imports can be viewed as the value of
goods and services that exceed the domestic supply and
that expand the consumption and investment alternatives
for domestic purchasers.
Differences between GDP and gross domestic purchases
reflect patterns in imports less exports: As imports exceed
exports, gross domestic purchases exceeds GDP.
For annual and quarterly estimates of these measures, see
NIPA tables 1.4.1 and 1.4.3-1.4.6.
See also “A Guide to the National Income and Product
Accounts of the United States” at www.bea.gov/bea/an/
nipaguid.pdf. For a related discussion about GDP prices
and gross domestic purchases prices, see FAQ 499.

The final estimate of the third-quarter real GDP de­
cline was the same as the preliminary estimate. Up­
ward revisions to nonresidential structures and to
farm inventory investment were offset by downward
revisions to private nonfarm inventory investment
and to equipment and software. The average revision
(without regard to sign) from the preliminary esti­
mate to the final estimate is 0.3 percentage point.
The upward revision to nonresidential structures was
primarily to power and communication structures
and to manufacturing structures.
The downward revision to equipment and software
primarily reflected a downward revision to prepack­
aged software.
The downward revision to inventory investment was
primarily to wholesale trade and to retail trade inven­
tories; the revision was partly offset by an upward re­
vision to farm crop inventories.

1. The estimates for GDP under the contribution columns are also percent changes.

tember (revised) and quarterly services survey for the
third quarter (new), motor vehicle registrations for Sep­
tember (revised) and electricity sales data for September

Table 3. Corporate Profits

Profits from current production decreased $18.5 bil­
lion, or 1.2 percent at a quarterly rate, in the third
quarter after decreasing $60.2 billion. Third-quarter
profits were reduced by $46.2 billion because of Hurri­
cane Ike: benefit payments by insurance companies re­
duced profits by $22.0 billion, and uninsured losses
reduced profits by $24.2 billion.

Measuring Corporate Profits
Corporate profits is a widely followed economic indicator
used to gauge corporate health, assess investment condi­
tions, and analyze the effect on corporations of economic
policies and conditions. In addition, corporate profits is an
important component in key measures of income.
BEA’s measure of corporate profits aims to capture the
income earned by corporations from current production
in a manner that is fully consistent with the national
income and product accounts (NIPAs). The measure is
defined as receipts arising from current production less
associated expenses. Receipts exclude income in the form
of dividends and capital gains, and expenses exclude bad
debts, natural resource depletion, and capital losses.
Because direct estimates of NIPA-consistent corporate
profits are unavailable, BEA derives these estimates in
three steps.
First, BEA measures profits before taxes to reflect corpo­
rate income regardless of any redistributions of income
through taxes. This measure is partly based on tax return




information from the Internal Revenue Service; BEA uses
tax accounting measures as a source of information on
profits for two reasons: They are based on well-specified
accounting definitions, and they are comprehensive, cover­
ing all incorporated businesses—publicly traded and pri­
vately held—in all industries. BEA also uses other sources
of information to estimate pretax profits, including infor­
mation from the Census Bureau.
Second, to remove the effects of price changes on inven­
tories valued at historical cost and of tax accounting for
inventory withdrawals, BEA adds an inventory valuation
adjustment that values inventories at current cost.
Third, to remove the effects of tax accounting on depre­
ciation, BEA adds a capital consumption adjustment
(CCAdj). CCAdj is defined as the difference between con­
sumption of fixed capital (the decline in the value of the
stock of assets due to wear and tear, obsolescence, acciden­
tal damage, and aging) and capital consumption allow­
ances (tax return depreciation).

Profits with inventory valuation adjustment increased
$6.8 billion, or 0.4 percent at a quarterly rate, in the
third quarter after decreasing $45.5 billion in the sec­
ond quarter. The difference between the third-quarter
decrease in this measure of profits and the $18.5 bil­
lion decrease in profits from current production re­
flects the capital consumption adjustment, which
decreased $25.3 billion.

Profits of domestic industries increased $1.9 billion,
or 0.2 percent, after decreasing $20.6 billion.
Profits of domestic financial industries decreased
$74.4 billion, or 19.4 percent, after decreasing $29.6
billion.
Profits of domestic nonfinancial industries increased
$76.3 billion, or 9.1 percent, after increasing $9.1 bil­
lion. The acceleration mainly reflected an upturn in
the profits of manufacturing industries and an accel­
eration in the profits of wholesale trade industries. In
contrast, profits of utilities industries slowed, and
profits of information industries turned down. Profits
of “other” nonfinancial industries also slowed.

Corporate Profits by Industry
Industry profits are corporate profits by industry with
inventory valuation adjustment (IVA). The IVA removes
the effect of prices on inventories. The IVA is the difference
between the cost of inventory withdrawals at acquisition
cost and replacement cost. Ideally, BEA would also add the
capital consumption adjustment (CCAdj) for each indus­




try. However, estimates of the CCAdj are only available for
two broad categories: Total financial industries and total
nonfinancial industries. For more information about BEA’s
methodology, see “Corporate Profits: Profits Before Tax,
Profits Tax Liability, and Dividends” at www.bea.gov/bea/
mp_national.htm.

Real Inventories, Sales, and Inventory-Sales Ratios
for Manufacturing and Trade for the Third Quarter of 2008
This report presents quarterly estimates for the second
and third quarters of 2008 and monthly estimates for
May to October 2008.
Tables IB, 2B, 3B, and 4B present chain-weighted
estimates. Table IB presents inventories. Table 2B pre­
sents sales. Table 3B presents inventory-sales ratios that
can be used to assess the likelihood that businesses will
add to, or reduce, inventories in response to changes in
demand; these ratios supplement the quarterly current-dollar and real estimates of ratios of inventories to

final sales of domestic business, nonfarm business, and
goods and structures presented in NIPA tables 5.7.5B
and 5.7.6B. Table 4B presents estimates of manufactur­
ing inventories by stage of fabrication.
The estimates for 1967 forward are available in
interactive
tables
on
BEA’s Web
site
at
www.bea.gov. Click on “Gross Domestic Product,” and
under “Supplemental Estimates,” click on “Underlying
detail tables” and then on “List of Underlying Detail

■ B E A BRIEFING
Toward Better Measurement of Innovation and Intangibles
By Ana M. Aizcorbe, CaroIE. Moylan, and Carol A. Robbins
HILE all countries account for investment in
tangible assets in their gross domestic product
(GDP) statistics, no country currently includes a com­
prehensive estimate of business investment in intan­
gible assets in their official accounts. Most economists
agree, however, that intangible assets— which repre­
sent an important input into the innovative pro­
cess— are critical components of the modern economy.
In the United States, some have suggested that invest­
ment in intangible assets now roughly equals invest­
ment in tangible assets.
Understanding the role of intangible assets— and
thus the role of innovative activity in general— is criti­
cal to understanding the modern economy. This article
updates the ongoing efforts at the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) to better measure investment in vari­
ous intangible assets.
BEA has a history of continuously improving its
GDP statistics to account for major shifts in the econ­
omy (chart 1). Indeed, some intangible investments
are already included in the GDP accounts. Expendi­
tures on software, for example, have been treated as in­
vestment in the core accounts since 1999. And in 2006,
BEA launched a research and development (R&D) sat­
ellite account, to explore investment in R&D and its
larger economic effects.
BEA is currently exploring the feasibility of creating
satellite accounts that would report investment in a va­
riety of other intangible assets. Although there are
thorny conceptual issues to consider, the binding con­
straint on progress remains measurement, which is ex­
tremely difficult because of the paucity of source data
and lack of firm evidence supporting the assumptions
required for measurement.
A satellite account refers to a set of accounts that al­
lows for experimental measurement in a framework
consistent with GDP but separate from the official ac­
counts. Satellite accounts typically allow for a more de­
tailed look at specific parts of the economy, measures
based on new methodologies and source data, and new
estimation approaches. The R&D satellite account, for
example, provided a means of exploring the impact of
capitalizing R&D spending on GDP growth and a
framework through which various methodological and

W




conceptual issues can be worked out.
As of now, BEA’s main efforts to measure innovative
activity have focused on its R&D account, which was
produced in partnership with the National Science
Foundation (NSF). The most recent version of the
R&D account, released in 2007, provides statistics for
1959-2004 on R&D investment and the impact of
treating R&D as investment on GDP statistics and
other aggregates. The account was also expanded to in­
clude detail about the effects on BEA’s industry, re­
gional, and international accounts. In the satellite
account where R&D is properly treated as investment,
investments in R&D contribute approximately 0.2 per­
centage point to the 3.3 percent growth rate of GDP in
1995-2004.1
Although budget reductions prevented the provi­
sion of updated statistics in 2008, BEA has continued
the necessary research to incorporate R&D investment
into core GDP accounts in 2 0 13.2 Methodological is­
sues still remain. Estimates of real investment in R&D
require the use of a deflator, and there is not yet a con­
sensus on how to construct this deflator. BEA is con­
ducting research and hopes to work with the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) on this issue in the future; BEA
is also exploring improved measures of depreciation
for the R&D stock.
In addition to R&D, investment in artistic origi­
nals— mainly motion picture and sound record­
ings— is scheduled to be incorporated into the GDP
accounts in 2013.
Currently, there are no plans to include investment
in any other types of intangible assets in the core
accounts. However, BEA will continue to work with
the NSF in its efforts to expand the NSF survey beyond
technological innovation and R&D and to explore the
potential impact on macroeconomic aggregates of
treating these other asset classes as investment. Beyond

and Moylan (2007) and the documentation provided on the BEA Web site:

2. For the first time, the 2008 System o f National Accounts recommends
treating R&D expenditures as investment. The following intellectual prop­
erty expenditures are also treated as investment: mineral exploration and
evaluation; computer software; databases; entertainment, literary and artis­
tic originals; and other intellectual property products.

properly accounting for firms’ investments in intangi­
ble assets— the subject of this article— BEA is also ex­
ploring measures of individuals’ investments in human
capital— another type of intangible asset. (See the box
“Measuring Human Capital”)
The rest of this article discusses the following:
•The conceptual issues surrounding the measure­
ment of innovation and firms’ investments in intan­
gible assets
• The logic underlying the national accounting meth­
ods used to measure investment
• The different types of intangible assets considered in
the literature, including technological and nontechnological innovative assets
• The existing data available for measurement and
other measurement challenges

Innovation and Economic Growth
Innovation has long been recognized as an important
driver of economic growth. For example, the invention
of the transistor over 50 years ago gave rise to wave af-

ter wave of new goods that have transformed the econ­
omy. Entirely new products, like the semiconductor,
and new ways of approaching markets, like the Inter­
net, are examples of the fruits of innovative activities
that followed from the development of the transistor.
The notion of “innovation” can be elusive, as seen in
the widely different definitions that economists, policy
analysts, and business leaders frequently use (see the
box “What Is Innovation?” on page 14). Common to
these definitions, however, is the realization of com­
mercial value in the market place from the creation
of something that did not previously exist. In Janu­
ary of last year, the Commerce Department’s Advi­
sory Committee on Measuring Innovation in the 21st
Century Economy published a report Innovation M ea­
surement: Tracking the State o f Innovation in the Am eri­
can Economy that included a definition consistent with
the above notion:
The design, invention, development and/or
implementation of new or altered products, ser­
vices, processes, systems, organizational struc­
tures, or business models for the purpose of

Innovation and Intangibles

creating new value for customers and financial
returns for the firm.
While this view of innovation recognizes the im­
portance of both technological and nontechnological
innovation, until recently, economic studies on inno­
vation were primarily focused on technological inno­
vation. Examples o f this focus include studying the
transformation of R&D expenditures into patents and
the diffusion of technology across the economy
through the adoption of new products or processes,
such as a new hybrid seed stock or a new generation
of information technology equipment.3 The emphasis
has only recently begun shifting to include the role of
new products, processes, and business models in the
3. See Griliches’ (1957) classic work on hybrid corn and Fichman (1992),
who provides an early survey of the literature on the diffusion of informa­
tion technology.

Measuring Human Capital
Building on work that BEA has done in the measure­
ment of education and earlier work by Jorgenson and
Fraumeni (1992) and others, BEA is conducting
research to measure individuals’ investments in
human capital. The importance of human capital as a
source of growth has long been recognized: “Separate
education accounts would contain data essential for
improving our understanding of how investment and
the capital stock, defined more broadly to include
both human and nonhuman capital, affect economic
growth” (National Research Council 2005). This ini­
tiative would provide statistics with which to track the
stock of human capital, the rate at which the stock
depreciates, and the returns to investments. This
information is important for tracking and managing
one of the nation’s most important assets that repre­
sents an important input into the innovation process.
The measure currently under consideration differs
in several respects from that used in Corrado, Hulten,
and Sichel (2006). First, BEA will only measure invest­
ments in traditional education, not on-the-job train­
ing. Although this would miss an important type of
investment that firms make in their workers, the mea­
surement of investment by firms in their workers’
human capital is relatively new, and the data sources
are sparse. In contrast, the theory underlying the mea­
surement of individuals’ investments in their human
capital dates back many years, and the needed data are
available. Second, to remain within the scope of
national accounting standards, BEA will focus on
market-based activity and will only measure marketbased investments in education, not individuals’
investments in time.

increasingly important and growing service sector of
the economy.4
The microeconomic literature has not given rise to a
paradigm that lends itself to measuring innovation and
its impact on economic growth. Modeling these activi­
ties at a microlevel is difficult, in part because the pro­
cess of innovation involves a complex set of economic
actors and interactions that in principle require that
one take account of networks, linkages, and comple­
mentarities.5 For example, Stephen Kline and Nathan
Rosenberg (1986) have argued that a linear model— in
which research expenditures lead to product develop­
ment and then commercialization— is not an accurate
model for the innovation process; this narrow focus on
the formal research process misses the feedback be­
tween innovators, their competitors, and their custom­
ers. A more fundamental problem is that traditional
microeconomic theory and measurement are often
based on the presumption that change is incremental,
while innovation by its nature creates not only incre­
mental improvements but also completely new prod­
ucts, processes and markets.6
In contrast, macroeconomists and national accoun­
tants take a more stylized view of the economy and use
a “residual” method to understand the overall contri­
bution of innovation to economic growth. As Robert
Solow (1957) noted, most o f the growth in gross na­
tional product could not be explained by growth in
conventional inputs, such as (tangible) capital and la­
bor. He attributed most of the unexplained residual in
economic growth to “advances in knowledge.” This
observation helped fuel over 40 years of conceptual
and empirical research into the sources of economic
growth. Researchers such as Denison (1962) and Jor­
genson and Griliches (1967) built growth accounting
models that provided a conceptual and accounting
framework for explaining the sources of growth with a
special emphasis on accounting for the unexplained
residual, also called multifactor productivity (chart 2).
Using this metric, less than half of the growth in the
economy today can be attributed to growth of the tra­
ditional inputs, labor and capital. The residual can also
be attributed to mismeasurement of labor and capital
inputs and to the effects of any spillovers— benefits of
4. “Innovation in Services” in Miles (2004) and “Supporting Innovation
in Services,” United Kingdom Department for Business, Enterprise, and
Regulatory Reform (2008).
5. For example, it is commonly understood that innovation is influenced
not only by the actions of a particular firm but also by the institutional
environment, the structure of the production process, the other firms and
customers that the firm interacts with, the public research infrastructure,
and the characteristics of the labor market (Fagerberg 2004).
6. Indeed, Alfred Marshall’s preface to Principles o f Economics (1946),
“Natura non facit saltum,” or “nature does not make leaps,” is at odds with
the views of many economists who study innovation.

January 2009

S u rv ey o f C u rren t B usiness

innovative activity above what an economic entity has
paid for; because they are not paid for directly, spill­
overs lie outside the scope of firm-supplied inputs to
production and will be captured in the residual.
Much of the recent work by macroeconomists in
this area has concentrated on identifying and measur­
ing inputs other than tangible capital and labor that
are related to innovation and can contribute signifi­
cantly to growth. In particular, one focus has been on
investments in intangible assets. A paper by Leonard
Nakamura (1999) and a series of papers by Corrado,
Hulten, and Sichel (2004, 2006) has shown that under
a plausible set of assumptions, the measured contribu­
tion of intangible assets to economic growth could be
substantial. Their results for the United States have
been replicated for other countries, and there is now a
growing consensus on the importance of these assets in
accounting for economic growth.
Summing up, the innovation process leads to the
creation of economically useful knowledge that exists

separately from either people or tangibles, such as
equipment or structures. This economically useful
knowledge is an intangible that is an output of a pro­
ductive process as well as an input into the creation of
new output. By identifying measures of this knowl­
edge, measuring them using national accounting, and
incorporating them into a growth-accounting frame­
work, one can begin to develop a comprehensive set of
statistics to better understand innovation as a driver of
economic growth.

Measuring Intangibles
in the National Accounts
As demonstrated by Corrado, Hulten, and Sichel, ac­
counting for intangible assets in the national accounts
and in the Solow growth calculation can be done using
the same method that is currently used for tangible as­
sets. That method is summarized in this section.
Essentially, treating spending on intangibles as in­
vestment would have two primary effects on the na­
tional income and product accounts: it would increase
GDP and gross domestic income (GDI) in periods
when firms invest in intangibles. It would also add a
new input— intangible capital or “the stock of knowl­
edge”— and the value of the capital services generated
by that capital would be measured in the income ac­
count in subsequent periods.
Table 1 shows the consolidated income and product
accounts for the United States: the right, or “product,”
side of this account shows the total final output pro­
duced in the nation organized by type of expenditure,
and the left, or “income,” side shows the incomes
earned and other costs incurred in production.
The summary measure of production on the right
side— GDP— is defined as the market value of final
goods and services produced by labor and property
within the United States during a given period. The
product entries show the approach used by BEA to de­
rive GDP: it is measured as the sum of purchases by fi­
nal users— and includes the familiar spending
categories of consumption, investment (including in­
ventories), and net trade.
Gross private domestic investment includes pur­
chases of fixed assets (equipment, software, and
structures) by private businesses and nonprofit institu­
tions serving households that contribute to production
and have a useful life of more than 1 year. It also in­
cludes construction of housing for households and pri­
vate business investment in inventories. Importantly,
intermediate inputs, which are entirely used in the
production process in one period and do not contrib­
ute to future production, are not included in invest­
ment.
On the left is the sum of all the incomes earned and

14

costs incurred in production. Specifically, the left side
shows GDI as the sum of the income earned by labor
(compensation of employees), by governments (taxes
on production and imports less subsidies), and by en­
trepreneurs (net operating surplus, which is a profits­

and the consumption of fixed capital (the using up of
capital).
To trace through how investment is recorded in the
accounts, suppose a firm purchases a new productive

What is Innovation?
The following definitions of innovation vary, but the
common thread is the extraction of economic value from
novel activities (Innovation Vital Signs Project 2007).
Innovation is “the commercial or industrial application
of something new—a new product, process or method of
production; a new market or sources of supply; a new
form of commercial business or financial organization.”
Schumpeter 1983
Innovation is the “intersection of invention and in­
sight, leading to the creation of social and economic
value.”
Council on Competitiveness 2005
Innovation covers a wide range of activities to improve
firm performance, including the implementation of a
new or significantly improved product, service, distribu­
tion process, manufacturing process, marketing method
or organizational method.
European Commission 2004
Innovation—the blend of invention, insight and entre­
preneurship that launches growth industries, generates
new value and creates high value jobs.
Business Council o f New York State 2006




The design, invention, development and/or implementa­
tion of new or altered products, services, processes, sys­
tems, organizational models for the purpose of creating
new value for customers and financial returns for the
firm.
Advisory Committee on Measuring Innovation in the 21st
Century Economy, Department o f Commerce 2008
An innovation is the implementation of a new or signifi­
cantly improved product (good or service), or process, a
new marketing method, or a new organizational method
in business practices, workplace organization or external
relations. Innovation activities are all scientific, techno­
logical, organizational, financial and commercial steps
which actually, or are intended to, lead to the implemen­
tation of innovations.
OECD 2005
Innovation success is the degree to which value is created
for customers through enterprises that transform new
knowledge and technologies into profitable products and
services for national and global markets. A high rate of
innovation in turn contributes to more market creation,
economic growth, job creation, wealth and a higher stan­
dard of living.

asset that was created in the same period.7 This pur­
chase affects the national accounts both in the period
when it is purchased and in subsequent periods as the
asset provides services to the firm. Because the asset is
a final good, its value is recorded as investment and
adds to GDP in the period that the asset is produced.
The value of the asset may be thought of as the ex­
pected discounted present value of the stream of bene­
fits it will provide into the future. Offsetting this entry,
the costs of producing the asset— payments to factors
of production— are recorded on the income side of the
account. Once purchased, the asset becomes an input
to the production process, and the flow of services to
the production of other goods and services from the
asset in each period of its service life is recorded in the
income account. This flow of services may be thought
of as the amount that producers would be willing to
pay to rent the asset for a given period. In principle, the
sum of all the rental payments would equal the value
and, hence, the price of the asset.
In practice, national accountants use the notion of a
capital stock to deal with the intertemporal nature of
these capital assets. The perpetual inventory method is
used to construct capital stocks that track the value of
assets in an asset account separate from the GDP ac­
counts. In the fixed assets accounts, investments are
added to the capital stock in the period when they are
made, and depreciation is used to measure reductions
in the capital stock. The value of capital services— the
value of the assets’ use in production, similar to the
rental payments described above— is defined as the
sum of depreciation and the net return on investment.
Depreciation (or consumption of fixed capital) pro­
vides a measure of how much of the asset is “used up”
in production. This per period value reflects an
amount that would need to be set aside to eventually
replace the asset as it is used up in the production pro­
cess. The net return on investment recognizes that the
asset contributes to the profitability of the company. In
the business sector, net returns are assumed to be in­
cluded implicitly in the measure of net operating sur­
plus in the income account.8
In the Solow (1957) growth model, recognizing
these intangibles as investment would increase the
value of output— real GDP— and of inputs— the value
7. This section explains how a new investment is recorded in the accounts
over its service life. For an explanation of how changing the accounting
treatm ent of spending on intangible assets from an expense on an interme­
diate good to investment, see the box “How R&D Investment Affects GDP
and GDI” in Robbins and Moylan (2007).
8. The inclusion in the R&D satellite account of net returns to nonprofits
and general government is a departure from BEA’s current calculation of
GDI, which includes only depreciation, a partial measure of capital services.
In the current GDP accounts, governments do not earn profits, so only
depreciation is counted.

of services from the new input. While this, in principle,
could increase or decrease the Solow residual, empiri­
cal studies typically show reductions in the size of the
residual when the treatment of intangible inputs is
changed from an intermediate good to an investment
good.
The construction of these national accounting mea­
sures requires data on nominal spending to measure
investment, price deflators to translate nominal invest­
ment into real quantities, and several parameters for
the construction of the capital stocks and services from
that stock, notably depreciation rates.

Identifying and Measuring Nominal
Spending on Intangibles
This section discusses the broad classes of spending
that have been considered intangible assets in previous
studies with a focus on two major issues.9 The first is­
sue concerns the types of spending that can be consid­
ered investment. This issue hinges on the length of
assets’ service lives; goods that are treated as invest­
ment goods in the national accounts typically have ser­
vices lives longer than 1 year. The second issue
concerns the data available to construct these mea­
sures, an important issue because existing studies sug­
gest that the choice of which spending to treat as
investment is often guided by data availability and
quality issues rather than by conceptual issues about
which types of spending constitute investment.
Table 2 provides a list of spending classes that Cor­
rado, Hulten, and Sichel (2004, 2006) explored and
their estimates of these expenditures.

issues and the measurement difficulties.

Innovation and Intangibles

Computerized information
Information contained in software and databases is a
significant knowledge asset that can be an important
contributor to the innovation process and thus eco­
nomic growth. Expenditures for these types of intangi­
ble assets are perhaps the easiest to measure, and
indeed many of these expenditures are already treated
as investment in GDP.
Notably, BEA has treated business and government
expenditures for computer software as investment
since 1999. The relative accessibility of data sources for
computerized information allows a fairly detailed and
comprehensive estimate for nominal investment in
software. Purchases of software by businesses and gov­
ernment, either prepackaged or custom, are derived by
first forming estimates of domestic absorption of soft­
ware and then removing software purchases by house­
holds, software embedded in computer equipment,
and changes in inventories.
The source data for these calculations include
the Census Bureau Service Annual Survey, Census
Bureau data on trade in goods, financial statements
for original equipment manufacturers, and input-output relationships. Investment in own-account soft­
ware— software produced internally by firms— is
measured as the sum of production costs, primarily
based on information on employment and wages from
the BLS Occupational Employment Statistics Survey.
Expenditures on computerized databases have typi­
cally not been estimated separately in the literature.
According to estimates from the Service Annual Sur­
vey, databases purchased externally appear to be small
relative to overall spending by firms on software. Data­
bases that are produced internally are thought to be al­
ready captured in the software estimates (custom and
own-account).

Innovative property
Expenditures for technological and creative property
are larger than those for computerized information,
representing about a third of total spending on intan­
gible assets, according to the Corrado, Hulten, and
Sichel estimates. These assets are mostly the output of
R&D but also include creative property, such as the de­
velopment of new motion picture films and other
forms of entertainment and, more broadly, nontechnological spending for new product development.10

January 2009

The portion of spending on innovative property
that involves technological R&D, which accounts for
about half of the business spending in this class, is cur­
rently measured in the BEA R&D satellite account.
Comprehensive measures for R&D were facilitated by a
long time series of data on R&D spending provided by
the NSF. For technological activity, the NSF data on
R&D expenditures and federal government outlays
and obligations for R&D allow the measurement of
R&D performed by private business, private non­
profit institutions serving households, and govern­
ment entities. Data on R&D performed by others at
the government’s expense and data on R&D per­
formed by the government for its own use are both
available.11
A portion of social science-related R&D, or non­
technological R&D, is also measured in the account.
BEA measures for the nontechnological piece of R&D
investment are less comprehensive but do include esti­
mates for (1) the sale of social science R&D by private
business based on economic census data, (2) the per­
formance of social science R&D by federal government
labs, and (3) the performance of social science and hu­
manities-related R&D by academic institutions. The
latter two estimates are based on data from the NSF
survey.12
Among other types of innovative property, mineral
exploration, a relatively small component, is currently
treated as investment in the GDP accounts, based on
data from the Census Bureau. A related category of
creative property— entertainment, literary, or artistic
originals— includes spending to create musical scores,
films, musical recordings, and artistic images. Research
is currently underway at BEA to develop methodolo­
gies and data sources to incorporate film originals and
sound recordings into the GDP accounts.13
With regard to other categories of innovative prop­
erty, data sources tend to be scarce. Existing studies
have therefore tended to use proxies that assume the
growth rates in spending track some indicator series.
For example, Corrado, Hulten, and Sichel estimate
new product development costs for finance and other

11. These measures of R&D investment are based on R&D expenditures,
which implicitly treat both failed and successful activity as capital forming.
R&D expenditures are adjusted to prevent double-counting with other
forms of capital formation, deflated with a price index for R&D output, and
cumulated into stocks with the perpetual inventory method.

services industries as some percentage of intermediate
purchases by those industries.
The NSF and Census Bureau are currently working
to expand the existing Business Research and Develop­
ment Survey, an important effort that will help fill the
gaps in existing data sources. NSF announced a new
Business R&D and Innovation Survey (BRDIS) devel­
oped jointly with Census Bureau (Wolfe 2008). The
initial BRDIS questionnaire will be launched in Janu­
ary 2009. It will collect data for 2008, and this initial
cycle will serve as a full-scale pilot for the new annual
survey.
In addition, NSF’s Science of Science and Innova­
tion Policy program is funding research to better un­
derstand the microfoundations of innovation and
innovation ecosystems through the development of
models, tools, metrics, and data. The program is also
investing in the development of a research database to
study knowledge generation and innovation within or­
ganizations.

Economic competencies
Economic competencies is the largest category in the
Corrado, Hulten, and Sichel framework, making up
about half of the spending shown in table 2. This cate­
gory of spending presents both conceptual and specific
measurement challenges.
Brand equity. Advertising and marketing spending
that is aimed at the development of brands and trade­
marks may be considered investment in an intangible
asset. While accountants have long recognized the
value in a trade name, or “brand,” to individual
firms, there are conceptual issues about whether this
type of asset to a firm should be treated as invest­
ment in a national account. First, some argue that ad­
vertising and marketing expenditures are in some
sense unproductive, perhaps because advertising and
brand equity are thought to affect the demand func­
tion instead of the production function. In contrast,
spending on other intangibles directly affect the pro­
duction function by either creating a better output or
the same output using fewer inputs or better inputs.
This issue is contentious, however; Hulten and Hao
(2008) argue in favor of treating this type of spending
as investment.
A separate issue is that cumulating advertising ex­
penditures may increase a firm’s output, but it does
not follow that cumulating all firms’ advertising ex­
penditures increases aggregate output. Therefore, there
is potentially a fallacy of composition problem in­
volved in capitalizing these expenditures in the na­
tional accounts and calling them part of an aggregate




17

capital stock.14
Finally, a measurement issue discussed in Corrado,
Hulten, and Sichel (2006) is that reported expendi­
tures on advertising and marketing typically include
both expenditures on brand equity— a long-lived as­
set— and expenditures for other types of advertising.
Corrado, Hulten, and Sichel (2006) estimate that
about 60 percent of the reported expenditures for ad­
vertising and marketing are devoted to developing
brand equity and, as such, may be considered invest­
ment.
Other assets. Other economic competencies repre­
sent spending that affects either the inputs, such as hu­
man capital, or the production function, such as
organizational change, and are more likely to have
long-lived effects.
On-the-job training and other types of education
improve the quality of the workforce and likely im­
prove productivity. Moreover, many economists be­
lieve that the quality of the workforce is a critical
component not just to growth but to innovation as
well.15 With regard to data sources, firms’ investments
in the human capital of their workers appear to be the
easiest to measure but represent a relatively small piece
of spending on economic competencies. Even here,
a full accounting of this human capital would also
include an estimate of the wage and salary costs of
employee time, a component that Corrado, Hulten,
and Sichel estimated to be much larger than direct
firm expenses.
Spending on organizational change— an asset that
includes, for example, spending on business models
like improved inventory and distribution systems— is
more difficult to measure because there is no broad
consensus on the scope of these assets and little
hard data with which to measure the spending.16 The
portion of organizational capital that is purchased can
be estimated using data on the revenues of manage­
ment consulting companies. However, a substantial
portion of these activities are handled in-house and
there are no available data on these activities. Existing
studies tend to estimate the value of the own-account
14. However, for those interested in competitiveness across national bor­
ders, which is a relative concept, it may be valid to say that U.S. firms’ brand
equity can increase aggregate U.S. output at the expense of India or Europe.
When we consider global GDP, the composition problem reemerges.
15. In Aghion and Howitt’s (1992) endogenous growth model, for exam ­
ple, the average growth rate is a function of the size of the skilled labor
force.
16. Examples of this type of innovation are organizational structure
changes, major strategic partnerships, shared services, alternative financing
or investment vehicles, divestitures and spin-offs, and the use of a third
party operating utility. This description is drawn from IBM Global Business
Services (2006).

Innovation and Intangibles

component by making an assumption about the per­
centage of management’s time that is devoted to these
activities.

Translating Nominal Spending into
Real Spending, Capital Stocks,
and Capital Services
As mentioned above, obtaining measures for nominal
spending by businesses on intangibles is only the first
step in measurement. Some additional assumptions
are required that pose a separate set of challenges.
First, the value of investment must be translated into
real investment; that is, the influence of inflation must
be removed so that one is conceptually left with “quan­
tities” of the asset. Second, as is the case with tangible
assets, constructing a stock of these knowledge assets
requires assumptions about depreciation rates or ser­
vice lives. Third, estimating the value of services pro­
vided by the asset requires the construction of a user
cost.

Deflators
Ideally, one would want a price deflator that allows
one to break out any changes in the dollar value of
investment in these assets into price and quantity
components. There are both conceptual and practical
difficulties in constructing these price indexes for ser­
vices that are even more difficult for intangibles, which
are often created by firms for internal use only.
Within computerized information in the current
GDP accounts, the value of software is deflated using
price indexes from BLS. Specifically, the BLS producer
price index (PPI) for prepackaged software is used to
deflate prepackaged software, and a composite of the
BLS employment cost index and the PPI for prepack­
aged software is used to deflate own-account and cus­
tom software. The indexes for own-account and
custom software combine indexes of the likely employ­
ment costs to generate the software and measures for
potential quality improvements in the software— im­

January 2009

plicitly measured in the PPI for prepackaged software.
In contrast, in the 2006 and 2007 versions of the
BEA satellite account, business investment in R&D is
deflated using price indexes for R&D output based on
the output prices of the goods produced; spending by
government and other nonmarket entities is deflated
using input prices. Previous work at BEA has demon­
strated that the choice of deflator matters; Okubo and
others (2006) show that different output deflators can
yield very different measures of real R&D output.
For broader classes of intangibles, a common solu­
tion for measuring the outputs of service industries
has been to develop a price index for the costs involved
in producing the asset— such as wages of engineers and
scientists. However, it is well known that this ignores
any productivity gains in the production of the asset.
An alternative that has been used in some recent stud­
ies is the deflator associated with the final industry or
the economy as a whole. The idea is that if one can’t
measure a price index for the intangible, the next best
thing might be to use a price index for the good that
embodies that intangible asset.
Table 3 summarizes the types of deflators that have
been used in recent studies on intangibles. For the
most part, studies have used output deflators either at
the major sector level (Corrado, Hulten, and Sichel
2006; Marrano, Haskel, and Wallis 2007) or at the in­
dustry level (Fukao and others 2007). Some countries
continue to use input price indexes; Statistics Nether­
lands uses these price indexes for some assets (van
Rooijen-Horsten and others 2008). The use of these
broad output price indexes is a testament to the diffi­
culty in obtaining more accurate deflators. Corrado,
Hulten, and Sichel recognize this when they stated that
their choice of deflator was a plausible placeholder un­
til further research permits better measures.

vices from that stock requires assumptions about

depreciation rates and a “rental cost” for the use of
the asset, which is typically measured using a user cost
formula. Under commonly used methods of con­
structing user costs, the only element that is specific to
the asset is the depreciation rate. Therefore, the pri­
mary measurement difficulty in constructing a user
cost has to do with the depreciation rate. For intangi­
bles, these depreciation rates are particularly difficult
to measure because the depreciation is often related to
obsolescence, which can vary immensely across intan­
gible assets, rather than physical decay and wear and
tear, a more readily observable phenomena.
Ideally, one would have evidence from microeco­
nomic studies to measure the decay of capital stocks.
Usually, however, depreciation rates for these intangi­
bles are necessarily based on assumptions guided by
limited evidence. The service lives for software, for
example, are based on some indirect quantitative esti­
mates of the relationships between computer expendi­
tures and software expenditures, anecdotal evidence
(including an informal survey of business use of soft­
ware previously conducted by BEA about how long
software is used before it is replaced), and tax-lawbased lives of software.
In the R&D satellite account, the choices of service
life assumptions were based primarily on econometric
studies of R&D depreciation and vary by industry. The
R&D stock used by the transportation equipment
manufacturing industry is assumed to depreciate at 18
percent per year, computer and electronic manufactur­
ing R&D investment at 16.5 percent per year, chemical
manufacturing R&D at 11 percent per year, and all
other R&D stock at 15 percent per year. Assuming a
declining balance rate of 1.7, this implies a mean ser­
vice life that ranges from 9V2 years for transportation
equipment-related R&D assets to 15V2 years for chemical-related R&D assets.17
In contrast, relatively little is known about deprecia­
tion rates and profiles for the other intangible assets.
The right column of table 3 gives the depreciation rates
that have been used in existing studies. Most of these
studies have followed the assumptions made in Corrado, Hulten, and Sichel. For computerized informa­
tion, they used the depreciation rate that BEA uses for
custom software. For innovative property, Corrado,
Hulten and Sichel used the midpoint of a range of de­
preciation rates used for R&D (0.12 to 0.29). The esti­
mated depreciation rate for brand equity is set faster
17. The declining balance rate reflects a difference in the depreciation rate
in the early years of an asset’s life relative to later years. W hen the declining
balance rate is 1, an asset depreciates the same am ount in each year of its
life. W hen the declining balance rate is 2, the asset depreciates twice as
quickly in the first year of its life, compared with the straight line deprecia­
tion. The 1.7 rate is used in BEA’s capital stock measures for producers
equipment and software.




19

S u rv ey o f C u rren t B usiness

than other assets to allow for the possibility that these
assets are relatively short lived. Finally, for other eco­
nomic competencies, they used the average of the de­
preciation rates for R&D and brand equity.
The scant evidence on the sensitivity of these esti­
mates to choices of depreciation rates suggests that at
least some of the measures of interest are not sensitive
to the choice of depreciation rate. For example, Marrano, Haskel, and Wallis (2007) conclude that their cal­
culated multifactor productivity rates were not very
sensitive to large changes in depreciation rates. Simi­
larly, Baldwin and others’ (2008) study for Canada also
explored different depreciation rates and found that
the relative importance of intangible to tangible capital
was not sensitive to the choice of depreciation rates.
Summing up, properly accounting for investments
in intangible assets poses difficult measurement
challenges. For some assets, there is sufficient infor­
mation with which to construct estimates, and BEA ei­
ther includes the asset in the national accounts— for
example, software— or plans to include them in the fu­
ture— R&D. Research on data sources and methods is
needed to properly measure the other types of intangi­
bles. Indeed, there are several government initiatives to
explore new surveys and other data sources in order to
improve measures of innovative activities (see table 4).

BEA’s Plans
In addition to incorporating R&D spending as invest­
ment into its core accounts in 2013, BEA is considering
an expanded satellite account that would contain ex­
perimental statistics for a broader array of intangible
assets alongside our existing measures for R&D.
In order to develop comprehensive statistics on in­
vestment in innovation and intangibles, expanded sur­
vey data will be needed to augment the high quality
data currently available from NSF. Expanded collection
of the data for nontechnological innovative expendi­
tures is a high priority for augmented innovation sta­
tistics. Three key areas are spending for the
development of new business models, the creation of
artistic and literary originals, and spending for the de­
sign of new products that is not currently captured by
existing surveys. Current work by the NSF and the
Census Bureau to expand the existing Business Re­
search and Development Survey is an important step
in this direction, and BEA hopes to continue to work
with these agencies to develop survey instruments to
measure spending on intangible assets.
BEA also plans to conduct research on the mea­
surement issues involved in translating these expendi­
tures on intangibles into their impacts on GDR As
discussed above, two important areas are the develop­
ment of appropriate output price indexes for each type

following:
•Work with BLS to develop an integrated production
account that will provide a more consistent frame­
work for estimating the contributions of innovation

of intangible and depreciation measures.
This work on measuring spending on intangibles as
investment is part of BEA’s overall efforts to modernize
the national accounts, refine existing measures, and
improve their usefulness for measuring productivity

U.S. International Transactions
Third Quarter of 2008
By Douglas B. Weinberg and Renee M. Sauers

HE U.S. current-account deficit— the combined
balances on trade in goods and services, income,
and net unilateral current transfers— decreased to
$174.1 billion (preliminary) in the third quarter of
2008 from $180.9 billion (revised) in the second quar­
ter (table A, chart l ) .1All of the major current-account
components contributed to the reduction in the defi­
cit, as the surpluses on income and on services in­
creased and both the deficit on goods and net
unilateral current transfers to foreigners decreased.

Quarterly estimates of U.S. current-account and fmancial-account
components are seasonally adjusted when series demonstrate statistically
significant seasonal patterns. W hen available, seasonally adjusted estimates
are cited in this article. The accompanying tables present both adjusted and
unadjusted estimates.

In the financial account, net financial inflows— net
acquisitions by foreign residents of assets in the United
States less net acquisitions by U.S. residents of assets
abroad— were $135.2 billion in the third quarter, up
from $122.9 billion in the second quarter. Net acquisi­
tions by foreign residents of assets in the United States
picked up, and transactions by U.S. residents resulted
in a smaller decrease in U.S.-owned assets abroad in
the third quarter than in the second quarter. Financialaccount transactions continued to be affected by the
unsettled financial market conditions that began in the
third quarter of 2007.
The statistical discrepancy— errors and omissions
in recorded transactions— was $39.5 billion in the
third quarter, compared with $58.7 billion in the

second quarter.
The following are highlights for the third quarter of
2008:
• Both exports and imports of goods increased much
less in the third quarter than in the second quarter.
• Both receipts and payments of income on direct
investment decreased, partly as a result of declines
in earnings of finance affiliates. Both receipts and
payments of “other” private income increased
slightly after decreasing substantially in previous
quarters.
• U.S. government assets other than official reserve
assets increased strongly as a result of drawings on
central bank reciprocal currency arrangements.
• Both net U.S. sales of foreign securities and net for­
eign sales of U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury
securities were very large.




The deficit on goods and services decreased to $176.5
billion in the third quarter from $180.1 billion in the
second quarter. The deficit on goods decreased $1.6
billion, and the surplus on services increased $1.9 bil­
lion.
After increasing sharply from 2002 to 2005 and
peaking in the third quarter of 2006, the deficit on
goods and services has been lower in recent quarters,
and the third-quarter deficit was 11 percent lower than
its peak level (chart 1). Exports of goods and services
have increased substantially in the last 5 years as a re­
sult of strong economic growth abroad and the cumu­
lative effect of the depreciation of the dollar against
major foreign currencies. Imports of goods and ser­
vices have increased at a much lower rate than exports
since late 2006, partly as a result of weak U.S. domestic
demand (chart 2). In the third quarter of 2008, goods
exports and imports increased at much lower rates
than in the preceding two quarters, as goods trade
contracted in August and September. Services exports
and imports increased at nearly the same rates in the
third quarter as in the second quarter.
The third-quarter goods deficit was $3.9 billion
lower than the peak deficit in the third quarter of
2006. Over this 2-year period, goods exports in­
creased $87.3 billion, or 34 percent, and goods imports

Revisions to Estimates
The preliminary estimates of U.S. international trans­
actions for the second quarter that were published in
the October 2008 S u r v e y o f C u r r e n t B u s i n e s s have
been revised.
The current-account deficit was revised to $180.9
billion from $183.1 billion. The goods deficit was
unrevised at $216.3 billion; the services surplus was
revised to $36.2 billion from $35.8 billion; the income
surplus was revised to $28.2 billion from $27.3 billion;
and unilateral current transfers were revised to net
outflows of $29.0 billion from $29.9 billion. Net finan­
cial inflows were revised to $122.9 billion from $136.7
billion.

increased $83.3 billion, or 17 percent. Much of the in­
crease in imports resulted from petroleum and
products, which increased $48.1 billion, or 58 percent.
Nonpetroleum imports increased only $35.2 billion, or
9 percent, while nonpetroleum exports increased $75.3
billion, or 30 percent. As a result, the deficit on petro­
leum and products increased $36.1 billion in the last
2 years, but the deficit on nonpetroleum products
decreased $40.1 billion (chart 3). The services surplus

increased $17.0 over the last 2 years. Services exports
increased $34.2 billion, or 32 percent, and services im­
ports increased $17.1 billion, or 20 percent.
Exports of goods and services also increased at a
much higher rate than imports of goods and services
on a price-adjusted, or real, basis. Over the last 2 years,
real goods exports increased 18 percent. In contrast,
real goods imports decreased 3 percent, as the increase
in current-dollar goods imports resulted from higher
prices, particularly for petroleum imports. Real ser­
vices exports also increased at a much higher rate than
real services imports. Real net exports of goods and
services, or exports less imports, made a substantial
positive contribution to the percent change in real
gross domestic product in the last six quarters.

Goods
The deficit on goods decreased to $214.7 billion in the
third quarter from $216.3 billion in the second quarter.
Exports increased more than imports, but both in­
creased much less in the third quarter than in the sec­
ond quarter.
Exports. Exports of goods increased $9.2 billion, or
2.7 percent, to $346.5 billion (table B). Both real ex­
ports and export prices increased 1.4 percent.2

On a monthly basis, exports peaked in July after an
extended period of strong growth. Exports decreased
in August but remained strong and then fell sharply in
September as a result of substantial declines in all ma­
jor commodity categories.
Nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials
increased $4.5 billion in the third quarter. These com­
modities were the largest contributor to growth in total
exports for the third consecutive quarter, largely as a
result of strong growth in petroleum and products and
in chemicals. However, both petroleum and products
and chemicals fell sharply in September, partly as a re­
sult of delays caused by storms in the Gulf of Mexico.
Automotive vehicles, parts, and engines increased
$1.9 billion. Exports of passenger cars and other vehi­
cles increased strongly, both to Canada and to “other”
areas, such as the Middle East and Europe.
Capital goods increased $1.8 billion. The largest in­
crease was in oil drilling, mining, and construction
machinery despite a sharp drop in this machinery in
September. In addition, semiconductors rebounded,
and scientific, hospital, and medical equipment con­
tinued to increase moderately. In contrast, many other
types of capital goods decreased or increased less in the
third quarter than in the second quarter. Civilian air­
craft increased slightly despite a large strike-related
drop in deliveries of completed aircraft in September.
Consumer goods increased $1.4 billion. Exports of
many consumer goods peaked in July. For the quarter,
nondurable goods increased strongly, mostly because
of continued strong growth in medical, dental, and
pharmaceutical products. In contrast, durable goods

increased much less than in recent quarters. Down­
turns in “other” durable goods and in toys and sport­
ing goods and a slowdown in “other” household goods
were partly offset by a surge in gems, jewelry, and col­
lectibles.
Agricultural products were virtually unchanged af­
ter rising substantially in recent quarters. Soybeans fell
sharply, mostly as a result of a decrease in shipments
due to a late harvest. In contrast, raw cotton picked up,
and meat products and poultry were strong for the
third consecutive quarter. Corn and wheat increased
moderately. Prices of many agricultural commodities
rose sharply in July and then turned down.
Imports. Imports of goods increased $7.6 billion, or
1.4 percent, to $561.2 billion (table B). Real imports
decreased 1.0 percent, and import prices increased 2.4
percent. The increase in value resulted from a rise in
petroleum and products. Nonpetroleum products de­
creased slightly.
On a monthly basis, imports peaked in July. Petro­
leum and products decreased substantially in August
and September, and nonpetroleum products turned
down in September.
Petroleum and products increased $7.8 billion in
the third quarter. The average price per barrel rose 8
percent to $117.49, and the average number of barrels
imported daily fell 2 percent to 12.27 million (chart 4).
After rising strongly since early 2007, petroleum prices
peaked in July and then began to decline. The increase
in petroleum imports was about evenly divided be­
tween members of OPEC, mostly Saudi Arabia and
Venezuela, and non-OPEC members.

U.S. International Transactions

Chart 4. Imports of Petroleum and Products:
Indexes of Value, Price per Barrel, and Barrels
Imported per Day
2006:1=100

U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis

Nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials in­
creased $3.2 billion. These commodities were the larg­
est contributors to growth in nonpetroleum imports
for the third consecutive quarter, largely as a result of
strong growth in chemicals, in iron and steel products,
and in steelmaking materials. The growth in these
products partly reflected substantial increases in their
prices, but prices for most of the products began to
ease in the third quarter. Imports of natural gas de­
creased sharply in the third quarter, partly as a result of
a substantial fall in natural gas prices.
Consumer goods increased $1.7 billion. The in­
crease was largely accounted for by nondurable goods,
mostly medicinal, dental, and pharmaceutical prod­
ucts. Durable goods increased much less in the third
quarter than in the second quarter. Downturns in tele­
visions, video receivers, and other video equipment, in
gems, jewelry, and collectibles, and in “other” durable
goods were partly offset by a surge in toys, shooting,
and sporting goods.
Capital goods decreased for the first time in
nearly 6 years. The $1.3 billion decline was partly at­
tributable to a sharp drop in computers, peripherals,
and parts— mainly peripherals and parts. Civilian air­
craft also decreased substantially as a result of declines
in complete aircraft and in aircraft engines and parts.
Many other types of capital goods increased less in the
third quarter than in the second quarter or decreased.
In contrast, oil drilling, mining, and construction ma­
chinery increased strongly.
Automotive vehicles, parts, and engines decreased



$4.3 billion. The record decline mostly resulted from
a drop in imports of passenger cars, particularly from
lapan, Germany, the Republic of Korea, and Sweden.
Trucks and buses from Mexico and parts and en­
gines— mostly from Mexico, Canada, and Ger­
many— also decreased. U.S. domestic sales o f imported
automobiles fell sharply in the third quarter, and do­
mestic sales of all motor vehicles decreased very sub­
stantially for the third consecutive quarter.
Balances by area. The goods deficit decreased $1.6
billion to $214.7 billion in the third quarter. The deficit
with Latin America and Other Western Hemisphere
decreased as a result of a large decline in the deficit
with Mexico and a shift to a surplus with Brazil. The
deficit with Europe also fell; decreases in the deficits
with Germany and several other countries and in­
creases in the surpluses with the Netherlands and Bel­
gium were partly offset by an increase in the deficit
with the United Kingdom. The deficits with Africa and
with Canada also decreased. In contrast, the large defi­
cit with Asia and Pacific increased, as a surge in the
deficit with China was only partly offset by decreases in
the deficits with Japan and India.

Services
The surplus on services increased to $38.2 billion in
the third quarter from $36.2 billion in the second
quarter. Services receipts increased $4.3 billion to
$142.5 billion, and services payments increased $2.4
billion to $104.3 billion.
Travel receipts increased $1.4 billion to $29.5 billion
as a result of an increase in receipts from overseas visi­
tors to the United States. Travel payments edged down
$0.1 billion to $20.2 billion. Over the last six quarters,
the surplus on travel has nearly tripled, as receipts in­
creased $7.7 billion, or 35 percent, and payments in­
creased only $1.6 billion, or 9 percent. The
appreciation of many foreign currencies against the
U.S. dollar through most of the period boosted the
number of foreign visitors to the United States and
their expenditures and discouraged U.S. travel abroad

(chart 5).
Passenger fare receipts increased $0.8 billion to $8.5
billion, and passenger fare payments increased $0.2
billion to $8.2 billion.
“Other” transportation receipts were virtually un­
changed at $15.8 billion. Receipts had increased
strongly in the previous three quarters, partly as a re­
sult of foreign air carriers’ increased fuel expenditures
in U.S. ports. “Other” transportation payments in­
creased $0.3 billion to $18.8 billion. Payments for port
services increased much less than in the previous two
quarters, partly as a result of a smaller rise in U.S. air
carriers’ expenditures in foreign ports.
“Other” private services receipts increased $1.4 bil­
lion to $61.6 billion. The increase was largely ac­
counted for by a rise in receipts for business,
professional, and technical services, but receipts for
most other major types of services also increased. In
contrast, financial services receipts decreased, as a
downturn in securities issuance resulted in reduced
underwriting fees. “Other” private services payments
increased $0.8 billion to $39.1 billion. The increase was
largely accounted for by a rise in payments for busi­
ness, professional, and technical services.

Income
The surplus on income increased to $30.8 billion in the
third quarter from $28.2 billion in the second quarter.
Income receipts decreased $1.8 billion to $194.7 bil­

$163.8 billion.

U.S. International Transactions

Receipts of income on U.S. direct investment abroad
decreased $3.5 billion to $98.1 billion. Earnings of for­
eign affiliates decreased amid slowing economic activ­
ity in major foreign countries, depreciation of major
foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar, and turmoil
in global financial markets. Earnings of foreign affili­
ates in finance and insurance decreased substantially,
mostly as a result of a decline in earnings of nondepos­
itory institutions in Asia and Europe. Earnings of
holding company affiliates also fell, mostly because of
lower earnings of affiliates in Europe.
Payments of income on foreign direct investment in
the United States decreased $3.9 billion to $32.8 bil­
lion. The decrease resulted from a sharp decline in
earnings of U.S. affiliates in finance and insurance,
which have fluctuated substantially in recent quarters.
The third-quarter decrease was mostly by depository
institutions.
Receipts of “other” private income increased $1.3
billion to $94.8 billion as a result of increases in re­
ceipts on U.S. nonbank claims and on U.S. holdings of
foreign securities. U.S. government income receipts in­
creased $0.3 billion to $1.1 billion.
Payments of “other” private income increased $0.9
billion to $87.0 billion. An increase in income pay­
ments on foreign holdings of U.S. securities other than
U.S. Treasury securities was partly offset by decreases
in income payments on U.S. bank and nonbank liabili­
ties. U.S. government income payments decreased $1.4
billion to $41.5 billion.

Unilateral current transfers
Net unilateral current transfers to foreigners were
$28.4 billion in the third quarter, down from $29.0 bil­
lion in the second quarter. The decrease was largely ac­
counted for by a decline in private remittances and
other transfers.

Capital Account
Net capital account payments (outflows) were virtually
unchanged at $0.6 billion in the third quarter.3

Financial Account
Net financial inflows— net acquisitions by foreign resi­
dents of assets in the United States less net acquisitions
by U.S. residents of assets abroad— were $135.2 billion
in the third quarter, up from $122.9 billion in the sec­
ond quarter.4 Net acquisitions by foreign residents of

4. Third-quarter net financial inflows exclude transactions in financial
derivatives because data are not yet available. Second-quarter net financial
inflows excluding transactions in financial derivatives were $125.4 billion.




January 2009

assets in the United States picked up, and transactions
by U.S. residents resulted in a smaller decrease in U.S.owned assets abroad in the third quarter than in the
second quarter.
Financial-account transactions continued to be af­
fected by the unsettled financial market conditions
that began in the third quarter of 2007. In the third
quarter of 2008, financial markets responded to indi­
cations that major world economies were slowing and
to the deteriorating financial condition of two U.S.
government-sponsored housing finance agencies,
which were placed into conservatorship on September
7. The bankruptcy of a large U.S. investment bank on
September 15 marked the beginning of a period of ad­
ditional significant strain in global financial markets.
After the investment bank bankruptcy, many short­
term funding markets, including interbank markets
and markets for commercial paper and other short­
term instruments, ceased to function normally, leading
to liquidity problems for some large global financial
institutions. Stock and corporate bond prices fell
sharply, and U.S. Treasury security prices surged, as in­
vestors became extremely risk averse. Credit spreads
rose sharply. The heightened strains prompted U.S.
and foreign governments to provide large-scale sup­
port to markets.
The strains in short-term funding markets and the
government responses substantially affected transac­
tions in the U.S. government and U.S. banking and
nonbanking accounts. In the U.S. government ac­
counts, U.S. government assets other than official re­
serve assets increased sharply as a result of drawings on
temporary reciprocal currency arrangements between
the U.S. Federal Reserve System and foreign central
banks to address elevated pressures in U.S. dollar
short-term funding markets worldwide. In the banking
accounts, both claims and liabilities reported by U.S.
banks and securities brokers decreased substantially.
The decreases represented a cutback in international
lending and borrowing by these institutions and their
customers, reflecting the elevated pressures in inter­
bank markets and in markets for short-term instru­
ments, which are important sources of funds for some
large financial institutions. In the nonbanking ac­
counts, claims of U.S. nonbanking concerns decreased
for the fifth consecutive quarter, partly as a result of
transfers of funds to U.S. financial intermediaries that
were unable to roll over maturing asset-backed com­
mercial paper.
The strains in long-term capital markets substan­
tially affected securities transactions. Both net U.S.
transactions in foreign securities and net foreign trans­
actions in U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury se­
curities shifted to very large net sales, mostly as a result

January 2009

S u rv ey o f C u rren t B usiness

of net sales of bonds. In contrast, net foreign purchases
of U.S. Treasury securities by foreign official institu­
tions and by private foreigners increased strongly.

U.S.-owned assets abroad
Net U.S.-owned assets abroad decreased $9.5 billion in
the third quarter after a decrease of $102.7 billion in
the second quarter. The smaller decrease resulted from
a much larger increase in U.S. government assets other
than official reserve assets in the third quarter than in
the second quarter and a smaller decrease in claims re­
ported by U.S. banks in the third quarter than in the
second quarter. These changes were partly offset by a
substantial shift to net U.S. sales of foreign securities
from net U.S. purchases.
U.S. official reserve assets. U.S. official reserve as­
sets increased $0.2 billion in the third quarter after an
increase of $1.3 billion in the second quarter. The
third-quarter increase resulted from an increase in U.S.
official holdings of foreign currencies that was partly
offset by a decrease in the U.S. reserve position in the
International Monetary Fund.
U.S. government assets other than official reserve
assets. U.S. government assets other than official re­
serve assets increased $226.0 billion in the third quar­
ter after an increase of $41.6 billion in the second
quarter. The exceptionally large third-quarter increase
resulted from drawings on temporary reciprocal cur­
rency arrangements (swap lines) between the U.S. Fed­
eral Reserve System and foreign central banks that do
not meet the strict definition of U.S. reserve assets. The
swap lines allow foreign central banks to obtain U.S.
dollars, for a limited period of use, directly from the
Federal Reserve in exchange for foreign currencies.
These swap lines were established in the fourth quarter
o f 2007 to address elevated pressures in short-term
U.S. dollar funding markets in Europe during the early
stages of the ongoing financial market turmoil. They
were expanded substantially in the last 2 weeks of Sep­
tember 2008 to an authorized limit o f $620 billion be­
tween the Federal Reserve and nine foreign central
banks, as short-term U.S. dollar funding pressures
worldwide became more acute. At quarter end, dollar
drawings were about half of the authorized limit and
were mostly by the European Central Bank and, to a
lesser extent, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan,
and the Swiss National Bank. Early in the fourth quar­
ter, limits on swap lines between the Federal Reserve
and these foreign central banks were removed in order
to accommodate whatever quantity of U.S. dollar
funding was demanded, and additional swap lines
were established between the Federal Reserve and sev­
eral other foreign central banks.

Claims reported by banks and by nonbanks. U.S.
claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks and secu­
rities brokers decreased $152.0 billion in the third
quarter, following a decrease o f $213.9 billion in the
second quarter (chart 6). The two consecutive large
quarterly decreases, in conjunction with two consecu­
tive large decreases in U.S. liabilities to foreigners re­
ported by U.S. banks and brokers, represented a
significant cutback in international lending and bor­
rowing by these institutions. The cutback largely re­
flected the elevated pressures in interbank funding
markets and concerted efforts by financial institutions
to reduce risk. Banks and securities brokers sought to
deleverage their balance sheets and maintain liquidity
by transferring funds between their home and foreign
offices. Banks’ customers reduced their dollar deposits
abroad and their holdings o f foreign short-term in­
struments.
Banks’ own claims denominated in dollars de­
creased $71.6 billion after a decrease of $141.7 billion.
The third-quarter decrease resulted from a substantial
drop in claims o f foreign-owned banks in the United
States, reflecting a cutback in lending to their own of­
fices abroad. In contrast, claims o f U.S.-owned banks
increased. Claims of securities brokers and dealers in­
creased as a result of substantial lending by foreignowned brokers early in the quarter.
Claims of all major types o f U.S. reporting insti­
tutions, including U.S.-owned banks and securities

brokers and foreign-owned banks and securities bro­
kers, decreased in September. In the last half of Sep­
tember, financial institutions became very reluctant to
lend to each other, and several U.S. and foreign finan­
cial institutions experienced liquidity difficulties.
Spreads on interbank lending rose sharply, and lending
moved to a predominantly overnight basis (chart 7). In
response, U.S. and foreign governmental authorities
provided large-scale support to financial markets
through injections of liquidity, direct financial support
o f several troubled financial institutions, and facilita­
tion of the sale of other troubled financial institutions.
In liquidity operations, U.S. monetary authorities ex­
panded the types of collateral that could be pledged
under the Term Securities Lending Facility and the Pri­
mary Dealer Credit Facility and increased the credit
available under the Term Auction Facility. In addition,
U.S. and foreign central banks substantially increased
the U.S. dollar funds available to foreign markets un­
der swap lines.
Banks’ domestic customers’ claims denominated in
dollars decreased $50.9 billion after a decrease of $57.4

billion. The two consecutive decreases mostly resulted
from decreases in customers’ dollar deposits and bro­
kerage balances at banks abroad. In the third quarter,
customers’ holdings of foreign commercial paper also
fell substantially, as the commercial paper market ex­
perienced severe difficulties in the last half of Septem­
ber.
Claims reported by U.S. nonbanking concerns de­
creased $53.8 billion in the third quarter after a de­
crease of $49.3 billion in the second quarter. These
claims have decreased in every quarter since the third
quarter of 2007. The decreases over the period resulted
from declines in deposits abroad and in financial inter­
mediaries’ claims, largely reflecting transfers o f funds
to U.S. financial intermediaries that were unable to roll
over maturing asset-backed commercial paper.
Foreign securities. Transactions in foreign securi­
ties shifted to net U.S. sales of $86.8 billion in the third
quarter from net U.S. purchases o f $33.6 billion in the
second quarter. Both the shift and the net sales were
the largest on record.
Net U.S. sales of foreign bonds were $72.0 billion, a
shift from net U.S. purchases o f $12.2 billion (chart 8).
In the five quarters preceding the third quarter of 2007,
U.S. investors had net purchases of foreign bonds in
excess of $50 billion per quarter. After the third quarter
of 2007, net U.S. purchases have been much smaller,
and net U.S. sales in the third quarter were by far the
largest net sales ever. Net sales occurred in every
month of the third quarter, but they were largest in

September. Global bond prices edged higher in the first
2 months of the quarter, as concerns about inflationary
pressures eased and as it became increasingly evident
that global economic activity was slowing. In Septem­
ber, global corporate bond prices fell sharply, and
credit spreads rose considerably, as several large U.S.
and European financial institutions experienced severe
difficulties. Global bond issuance plummeted in the
third quarter. Transactions in foreign bonds with Eu­
rope shifted to substantial net U.S. sales, largely reflect­
ing net sales to France, Spain, and the United
Kingdom. Transactions with “other” areas (mainly
Australia), with Canada, and with Caribbean financial
centers also shifted to net U.S. sales. These shifts were
partly offset by a substantial decrease in net U.S. sales
to Asia.
Net U.S. sales of foreign stocks were $14.8 billion, a
shift from net U.S. purchases of $21.4 billion. The net
sales mostly resulted from large net sales in July, when
foreign stock prices fell moderately. For the quarter,
foreign stock markets declined nearly 16 percent in lo­
cal currency terms, mostly as a result of sharp declines
in September. Transactions in foreign stocks with the
United Kingdom and Canada shifted to net U.S. sales,
and net U.S. sales to Hong Kong and Japan increased.
These changes were partly offset by a substantial in­
crease in net U.S. purchases from Caribbean financial
centers.
Direct investment. Net financial outflows for U.S.
direct investment abroad were $56.9 billion in the
third quarter, down from $84.0 billion in the second
quarter. The slowdown largely resulted from a shift
from an increase to a decrease in net intercompany
debt investment abroad, reflecting foreign affiliates’ re­
payments of previously borrowed funds to their U.S.
parents. In addition, reinvested earnings fell partly as a
result of a decrease in U.S. parents’ earnings. In con­
trast, net equity capital investment abroad picked up.

Foreign-owned assets in the United States
Net foreign-owned assets in the United States in­
creased $125.7 billion in the third quarter after an in­
crease of $22.7 billion in the second quarter. The
pickup largely resulted from an increase in liabilities
reported by U.S. nonbanking concerns in the third
quarter after a decrease in the second quarter and a
smaller decrease in liabilities reported by U.S. banks.
These changes were partly offset by a shift to net for­
eign sales of U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury se­
curities from net foreign purchases.
Foreign official assets. Foreign official assets in the
United States increased $117.7 billion in the third
quarter after an increase of $145.4 billion in the second
quarter. By area, the third-quarter increase was more



33

than accounted for by a strong rise in the assets of
Asian countries. By instrument, the increase was al­
most entirely accounted for by a strong rise in net pur­
chases of U.S. Treasury securities. Net foreign official
purchases of long-term U.S. Treasury bonds and notes
were substantial, and net purchases of short-term U.S.
Treasury bills and certificates were unusually large. In
contrast, net foreign official transactions in other U.S.
securities, mainly federally sponsored agency securi­
ties, shifted to net sales from large net purchases.
Liabilities reported by banks and by nonbanks.
U.S. liabilities reported by U.S. banks and securities
brokers, excluding U.S. Treasury securities, decreased
$147.9 billion in the third quarter after a very large de­
crease of $256.6 billion in the second quarter (chart 6).
The two consecutive large decreases, in conjunction
with two consecutive large decreases in U.S. claims on
foreigners reported by U.S. banks and brokers, repre­
sented a significant cutback in international lending
and borrowing by these institutions.
Banks’ own liabilities denominated in dollars de­
creased $64.8 billion after a decrease of $237.3 billion.
The third-quarter decrease resulted from a decrease in
liabilities of securities brokers, as an exceptionally large
drop in U.S.-owned brokers’ liabilities was only partly
offset by a rise in foreign-owned brokers’ liabilities. Li­
abilities of banks increased, mostly as a result of an in­
crease in foreign-owned banks’ liabilities.
As with banks’ own claims, there were substantial
changes in banks’ own liabilities in September. U.S.owned brokers' liabilities fell sharply, mostly reflecting
brokers' repayments of funds at the maturity of repur­
chase agreements, which are an important short-term
borrowing instrument for brokers. New borrowing
was limited by the bankruptcy of a major U.S. invest­
ment bank and funding difficulties at other U.S. invest­
ment banks. In contrast, liabilities of foreign-owned
banks and brokers in the United Sates increased
strongly in September. The increases coincided with
foreign central bank auctions of U.S. dollar funds to
banks in Europe, which initially deposited the funds
with their own offices in the United States.
Banks’ customers’ liabilities denominated in dollars
decreased $65.2 billion after a decrease of $6.9 billion.
The large third-quarter decrease was accounted for by
decreases in negotiable certificates of deposit and other
short-term instruments and in “other” liabilities.
U.S. liabilities reported by U.S. nonbanking con­
cerns increased $83.6 billion in the third quarter after a
decrease of $54.4 billion in the second quarter. The in­
crease mostly reflected an increase in borrowing from
the United Kingdom.
U.S. Treasury securities. Net foreign purchases of
U.S. Treasury securities were $89.5 billion in the third

34

U.S. International Transactions

quarter, up from $65.7 billion in the second quarter
(chart 9). Net foreign purchases of U.S. Treasury secu­
rities have been strong since the third quarter of 2007.
In the third quarter of 2008, investors became ex­
tremely risk averse near the end of the quarter when fi­
nancial market turmoil intensified. Demand for short­
term U.S. Treasury securities was exceptionally strong,
and yields on 3-month Treasury bills fell to the lowest
level in more than 50 years. Net foreign purchases of
short-term U.S. Treasury securities were $75.4 billion,
the strongest quarterly net purchases on record by far.
The next largest net foreign purchases were $47.9 bil­
lion in the first quarter of 2008, which were much
larger than in any previous quarter.
Other U.S. securities. Transactions in U.S. securities
other than U.S. Treasury securities shifted to net for­
eign sales of $89.2 billion in the third quarter from net
foreign purchases of $17.1 billion in the second quar­
ter. The size of the net sales was unprecedented, reflect­
ing net foreign sales of U.S. corporate bonds and of
U.S. federally sponsored agency bonds.
Net foreign sales of U.S. corporate bonds were $34.7
billion, a shift from net foreign purchases of $50.6 bil­
lion. In the four quarters preceding the third quarter of
2007, foreign investors had very large net purchases of
U.S. corporate bonds. Since the third quarter of 2007,
foreign investors had net sales in three out of five quar­
ters, and the net sales in the third quarter o f 2008 were
the largest ever by far. Net foreign sales of U.S. corpo­
rate bonds occurred in every month o f the third quar­
ter. Conditions in U.S. corporate bond markets

January 2009

deteriorated steadily through most of the quarter,
amid indications that the U.S. economy was slowing
and that financial institutions were experiencing addi­
tional significant losses. Spreads on corporate bonds
widened, and new issue volume fell substantially. In
late September, corporate bond prices fell sharply, and
spreads rose to record levels (chart 10).
Net foreign sales of U.S. federally sponsored agency
bonds were $57.0 billion, up from $32.8 billion. Net
sales of agency bonds by investors in Europe and in
Asia, particularly Japan, increased substantially. In
contrast, transactions by investors in Caribbean finan­
cial centers shifted to net purchases from net sales. The
third-quarter net foreign sales were exceptionally large.
Concerns about the financial soundness of two large
government-sponsored housing agencies increased in
July, prompting the U.S. government to temporarily
increase the lines of credit available to the agencies and
authorize U.S. government equity investment in the
agencies. Concerns intensified in August, and spreads
on agency debt securities rose substantially. The U.S.
government placed both agencies into conservatorship
on September 7.

Net foreign purchases of U.S. stocks were $2.5 bil­
lion, a shift from net foreign sales of $0.7 billion. In the
last three quarters, foreign transactions have been
small net purchases or net sales. Net purchases by in­
vestors in Europe have weakened considerably, and
transactions by investors in Caribbean financial cen­
ters have been large net sales or small net purchases. In
the third quarter, transactions by investors in Carib­
bean financial centers shifted to net purchases from
large net sales. In contrast, transactions by investors
from Asia shifted to net sales from net purchases.
U.S. currency. Net U.S. currency shipments to for­
eigners were $5.8 billion in the third quarter, up from
$0.2 billion in the second quarter.

Direct investment. Net financial inflows for foreign
direct investment in the United States were $66.1 bil­
lion in the third quarter, down from $105.3 billion in
the second quarter. The slowdown almost entirely re­
sulted from a slowdown in net intercompany debt in­
vestment in the United States. Borrowing by U.S.
affiliates from their foreign parents was minimal in the
third quarter after very strong borrowing in the second
quarter. In addition, reinvested earnings fell as a result
of a decrease in U.S. affiliates’ earnings. In contrast, net
equity capital investment edged up, mostly as a result
of equity capital investment in finance and insurance
affiliates.

An Ownership-Based Framework of the U.S. Current Account, 1998-2007
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) annually
updates its supplemental, ownership-based framework of
the current-account portion of the U.S. international
transactions accounts. This report presents new sum­
mary statistics of the major current-account aggregates
for 2007, more detailed statistics for 2006, and revised
statistics for 2002-2005.1 A technical note that presents
information on the conceptual basis of the ownershipbased framework follows the highlights of this presenta­
tion.2
The following are highlights of the updated statistics:
• Net receipts by U.S. parents of direct investment
income from the sales by their foreign affiliates were
$368.3 billion in 2007, up from $328.5 billion in 2006
(table 1). Net payments to foreign parents of direct
investment income from the sales by their U.S. affili­
ates were $134.4 billion in 2007, down from $144.4
billion in 2006.
• In 2006 (the latest year for which the detailed statistics
are available), the net receipts of $328.5 billion con­
sisted of $329.1 billion from nonbank foreign affiliates
and -$0.5 billion from bank foreign affiliates. For the
parents of nonbank affiliates, the net receipts resulted
from sales by foreign affiliates of $4,731.4 billion less
deductions of $4,402.3 billion (such as for labor, capi­
tal, and purchased inputs).3 The net payments of
$144.4 billion consisted of $136.2 billion by nonbank
U.S. affiliates and $8.2 billion by bank U.S. affiliates.
For nonbank U.S. affiliates, the net payments resulted
from sales of $3,083.4 billion less deductions of
$2,947.3 billion.
• In 2007, receipts from exports of goods and services or
sales by foreign affiliates were $2,014.0 billion, which
consisted of U.S. exports of goods and services of
$1,645.7 billion and net income receipts of U.S. par­
ents from the sales by their foreign affiliates of $368.3
billion. Payments from imports of goods and services
or sales by U.S. affiliates were $2,480.4 billion, which
consisted of U.S. imports of goods and services of

Jeffrey H. Lowe prepared this report.




$2,346.0 billion and net income payments to foreign
parents from the sales by their U.S. affiliates of $134.4
billion.
• The resulting U.S. deficit on goods, services, and net
receipts from sales by affiliates was $466.4 billion in
2007 ($2,014.0 billion minus $2,480.4 billion). This
deficit was $233.9 billion less than the $700.3 billion
deficit on trade in goods and services in the conven­
tional international accounts framework. The owner­
ship-based deficit was smaller because the receipts of
income by U.S. parents from sales by their foreign
affiliates exceeded the payments of income to foreign
parents from sales by their U.S. affiliates.
• The $466.4 billion deficit on goods, services, and net
receipts from sales by affiliates in 2007 was $102.7 bil­
lion less than the deficit in 2006. This was the first
decline in the deficit since 2001. The 2007 decrease
resulted from a $53.0 billion decrease in the deficit on
trade in goods and services and a $49.7 billion increase
in the surplus of net receipts from sales by affiliates.
The updated statistics incorporate the results of the
2008 annual revision of the U.S. international transac­
tions accounts that features improved estimating meth­
odologies, the incorporation of newly available source
data, and changes in presentation in the tables.4 As part of
the annual revision, services receipts and payments were
revised for 2006-2007 to incorporate the results of BEA’s
benchmark survey of international services for 2006 and
the new follow-on quarterly surveys of international ser­
vices for 2007. Services receipts and payments were also
revised for 2004-2005 to incorporate updated source
data. In addition, the 2006—2007 statistics on U.S. hold­
ings of, and transactions in, foreign securities and related
dividend and interest receipts were improved as a result
of the incorporation of the results of the U.S. Treasury
Department’s recent benchmark survey of securities
claims. These accounts were also revised for 2002-2005
to adjust the results from earlier annual surveys. Simi­
larly, the 2006-2007 statistics on foreign holdings of, and
transactions in, U.S. securities and related dividend and
interest payments were improved as a result of the incor­
poration of the results of the U.S. Treasury Department’s
recent annual survey of securities liabilities. Finally, the
statistics also incorporate the preliminary results from
the 2006 annual surveys of U.S. direct investment abroad
and foreign direct investment in the United States, the
final results from the 2005 annual surveys of U.S. direct
investment abroad and of foreign direct investment in the
United States, and the final results of the 2004 benchmark
survey of U.S. direct investment abroad.

international accounts, see Christopher L. Bach, “Annual Revision of the
U.S. International Accounts, 1974-2007,” Survey 88 (July 2008): 3 6 -5 2 .

The ownership-based framework was developed in the incurred abroad and accrued to the benefit of foreign

economies and, particularly, the growing tendency of sales by the affiliates to others were included.

1. The estimates in this column are from the international transactions accounts, which are published quar­
terly. Estimates are not yet available for the items from BEA’s 2007 annual survey of U.S. direct investment
abroad and 2007 benchmark survey of foreign direct investment in the United States. The detailed preliminary
estimates for 2007 will be published in the second half of 2009.
2. Conceptually, sales by U.S. affiliates to other U.S. affiliates of the same foreign parent should be
subtracted, but data on these sales are unavailable. However, because U.S. affiliates are generally required to
report to BEA on a fully consolidated basis, most of these sales are eliminated through consolidation, and the
remaining amount is thought to be immaterial.
3. Line 48, other foreign content—which equals purchases from foreign persons by foreign affiliates—is




overstated to the extent that it includes U.S. exports that are embodied in goods and services purchased by
foreign affiliates from foreign suppliers.
4. In principle, the sales exclude the affiliates’ sales to other affiliates of their parent. For U.S. affiliates, data
on sales to other affiliates are unavailable, but these sales are thought to be immaterial. (See footnote 2.)
5. Line 53, other U.S. content—which equals purchases from U.S. persons by U.S. affiliates—is overstated
to the extent that it includes U.S. imports that are embodied in goods and services purchased by U.S. affiliates
from U.S. suppliers.

State personal income, 2008:111
Personal income growth in the United States slowed sharply in the third
quarter of 2008; all states except New Jersey and Wyoming shared in the
slowdown, according to statistics released by the U.S. Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA). Nationwide, personal income growth was nil in the third
quarter, compared with 1.6 percent in the second quarter. Second quarter
growth was boosted by payments from the Economic Stimulus
Act (see page 70). Only $5 billion in economic stimulus payments
were made in the third quarter, down from $113 billion in the

Regional Quarterly Report

S tate Personal Incom e
Construction
The construction industry in four sunbelt states— Ari­
zona, California, Florida, and Nevada— accounted for
23 percent of national construction industry earnings
in the third quarter. That’s down from 26 percent in
the third quarter of 2006. (Earnings is the sum o f three
components o f personal income: wage and salary dis­
bursements, supplements to wages and salaries, and
proprietors' income.) The loss in construction-industry share in these states occurred simultaneously with a
drop in national housing starts from 1.7 million in the
third quarter of 2006 to 0.9 million in third quarter of
2008.

Housing Prices
In California, prices have fallen 25 percent since the
third quarter of 2006. That reversed a 217 percent in­
crease from the first quarter of 1997 to the third quar­
ter o f 2006. In Florida, prices have fallen 19 percent
since the fourth quarter of 2006, reversing a 175 per­
cent increase from the first quarter o f 1997 to the
fourth quarter o f 2006. In Nevada, prices have fallen 24
percent after a 134 percent increase over the same
timeframes. And in Arizona, prices have fallen 15 per­
cent since the first quarter of 2007 after a 152 percent
increase from the first quarter o f 1997 to the first quar­

Farm prices
Farm proprietors’ income fell 12 percent in the third
quarter, the third decline in the past four quarters. In
contrast, from the second quarter of 2006 to the third
quarter of 2007, farm proprietors’ income tripled.
Farm proprietors’ income generally rises and falls with
grain prices. Wheat prices peaked in the first quarter of
2008, while corn and soybean prices peaked in the sec­
ond quarter. From 2006 to 2008, strong price increases
for these grains were driven by strong export and do­
mestic demand for use in food, feeds, and biofuel.

Mining industry and oil prices
In four energy-producing states— Alaska, Oklahoma,
Texas, and Wyoming— mining industry earnings re­
mained relatively strong in the third quarter of 2008,
growing 9.2 percent as oil prices peaked. (The mining
industry includes oil extraction.) Earnings in the third
quarter were 2.2 times earnings in the first quarter of
2004. In contrast, third quarter earnings in all other in­
dustries were 1.3 times higher. Alaska’s 2008 personal
income was boosted by a 224 percent increase in the
Alaska Permanent Fund dividend to $3,269 per person.
(A portion o f oil lease rents and royalties received by
the state are deposited in this fund).

Economic Stimulus Payments
In the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) quarterly state
personal income statistics, the income tax rebates autho­
rized by the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 for individuals
who pay no income taxes (or for whom the rebate would
exceed the amount of the income taxes they do pay) are

treated as personal current transfer receipts. These rebates
amounted to $113 billion in the second quarter of 2008 and
$5.4 billion in the third quarter. For details, see the box
“Economic Stimulus Act of 2008” in the October 2008 issue

Special Hurricane Ike Adjustments
The third-quarter estimate of state personal income for
Texas and several other states reflects the effects of Hurri­
cane Ike, which landed in Texas on September 13, 2008.
Rental income of persons in Texas was reduced by $6.5 bil­
lion (at an annual rate) and nonfarm proprietors’ income
was reduced by $2.1 billion to reflect uninsured losses of
residential and business property. Transfer receipts from
business were boosted by $6.6 billion to reflect net insur­
ance benefits paid to persons. The combined effect of these
adjustments was to lower third quarter personal income
$2.0 billion in Texas and $0.8 billion in eight other states.
Because other effects of the hurricane were embedded in
the source data, the Bureau of Economic Analysis did not
attempt to quantify their impact. For further details on how




natural disasters are treated in state personal income, see
the articles in the January and April 2006 issues of the S u r ­
vey

County compensation by industry, 2005-2007
Compensation increased in more than 90 percent of
the 3,111 counties in the United States in 2007. Total
compensation of U.S. workers grew 5.2 percent (see
chart 1 on page 74).
Each December, county compensation by industry
statistics for the previous year are released by BEA.
These statistics are the earliest county-level data avail­
able from BEA and provide the first glimpse at a local
area’s industrial composition. Compensation is the
sum of wage and salary disbursements and supple­
ments to wages and salaries and accounts for nearly 60
percent of personal income.1 It is one of several statis­
tics available for assessing a local area’s economy. Com­
pensation is measured by place of work and can
therefore be used as a proxy for production. It also
provides an early view of the changes in the industrial
mix within the local areas.
In 2007, the 164 largest counties in the United
States, those with total compensation of $10 billion or
more, accounted for about two-thirds of the nation’s
total compensation.2 These 164 counties are concen­
trated in the northeast, southeast, and southwest
coastal areas of the United States (see chart 2 on page
75). The share of U.S. compensation among large
counties, medium counties (667 counties with total
compensation of between $1 billion and $10 billion in
2007), and small counties (2,280 counties with total
compensation less than $1 billion in 2007) counties
has been quite stable between 1969 and 2007.
Compensation growth in large counties has been
more volatile than growth in medium or small coun­
ties. Two major industry sectors are mainly responsible
for this: “professional and technical services” and “fi­
nance and insurance.” In large counties, these sectors,
along with the health care and social assistance sector,
accounted for about 30 percent of total compensation.
While growth in the health care and social assistance
sector has remained relatively steady, the fluctuating
1. Because compensation is on a place-of-work basis while personal in­
come is on a place-of-residence basis and because compensation includes
government contributions to social insurance, which is not part of personal
income, the formula to calculate compensation as a percent of personal in­
come is most accurately presented as: ((wage and salary disbursements) +
(supplements to wages and salaries) - (contributions for government social
insurance) + (adjustment for residence)) / (personal income). The last year
this formula can be calculated for counties is 2006.
2. All large counties are part of metropolitan areas.




growth in the professional and technical services and
finance and insurance sectors has driven the growth in
large counties (chart 3).

Compensation growth in medium and small coun­
ties has been less volatile because local government and
health care and social assistance industry sectors ac­
count for a large share of compensation. These indus­
try
sectors
have
exhibited
relatively stable
compensation growth during 2001-2007 (chart 4 and
chart 5). These sectors, along with the durable-goods
manufacturing sector, account for approximately 32
percent and 37 percent of total compensation for me­
dium and small counties, respectively.

In 2007, compensation growth ranged from a low in
the Great Lakes region of 3.4 percent to a high in the
Southwest region of 7.1. The Southwest region in­
cludes counties in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
and Texas, while the Great Lakes region consists of
counties in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wis­
consin. Compensation declined in almost 13 percent
of Great Lakes counties in 2007, compared with less
than 4 in Southwest counties. Since 2001, annual
growth rates have averaged 5.9 percent in the South­
west, compared with 3.1 percent growth in the Great
Lakes. The sectors that contribute the most to com­
pensation in these two regions provide insight into the
considerable differences in compensation growth.
Compensation is concentrated in the same four in­
dustry sectors in both the Southwest and Great Lakes
regions: local government, durable-goods manufactur­
ing, health care and social assistance, and professional
and technical services.
In the Southwest region, the local government sec­
tor contributed the most to compensation and has
grown by at least 5.5 percent annually since 2001
(chart 6). Total growth from 2001 to 2007 was more
than 45 percent. Starting in 2005, the professional and
technical services sector has grown 23.2 percent, out­
pacing local government (13.2 percent). Professional
and technical services became the third largest sector
in the Southwest in 2007, replacing durable-goods
manufacturing.




In the Great Lakes region, the durable-goods manu­
facturing sector contributed the most to compensa­
tion; annual growth ranged from -5 .2 percent in 2004
to 5.7 percent in 2003 (chart 7). Since 2001, compensa­
tion in the sector has grown only 2 percent; in 2007,
growth was less than 1 percent. As the contribution of
durable-goods manufacturing continued to decline in
the Great Lakes and Southwest, the health care and so­
cial assistance sector, continues to increase. The health
care and social assistance sector was the second largest
sector for both regions.

wage and salary disbursements to Canadian and Mexican residents commuting into the United States.
4. Rental income of persons includes the capital consumption adjustment.
5. Proprietors’ income includes the inventory valuation adjustment and the capital consumption adjustment.
6. “Other” consists of the wage and salary disbursements of U.S. residents employed by international organizations and
foreign embassies and consulates in the United States.
N o t e . The personal income level shown for the United States is derived as the sum of the state estimates. It differs from
the estimate of personal income in the national income and product accounts because of differences in coverage, in the
methodologies used to prepare the estimates, and in the timing of the availability of source data.

Note. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdoilar 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.

produced by government. In current dollars, these services are valued at their cost of production.
3. Some components of final sales of computers include computer parts.
Note. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar 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
change in private inventories is the difference between gross domestic product and the sum of final sales of domestic product
and of change in private inventories; the residual line following structures is the difference between gross domestic product

Equals compensation of general government employees plus general
government consumption of fixed capital.
Note. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chaintype quantity index and the 2000 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 esti­
mates are usually not additive. The residual line is the difference between the
first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

1. Equals gross domestic product excluding gross value added of households

Note. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar 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.

1. The quantity index for computers can be used to accurately measure the real growth of this component. However,
because computers exhibit rapid changes in prices relative to other prices in the economy, the chained-dollar estimates
should not be used to measure the component’s relative importance or its contribution to the growth rate of more aggregate
series; accurate estimates of these contributions are shown in table 1.5.2 and real growth rates are shown in table 1.5.1.
2. Excludes software ‘embedded,’’ or bundled, in computers and other equipment.
N o t e . The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

3. Net domestic income deflated by the implicit price deflator for net domestic product.
N o t e . Except as noted in footnotes 1,2 and 3, chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type
quantity index and the 2000 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.

1. Exports of goods and services and income receipts deflated by the implicit price deflator for imports of goods and
services and income payments.
2. Ratio of the implicit price deflator for exports of goods and services and income receipts to the corresponding implicit
price deflator for imports divided by 100.
N o t e . Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar 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.

based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
2. The current-dollar gross value added is deflated using the gross value added chain-type price index for nonfinancial industries from the GDP-by-industry accounts. For periods when this price index is not available,
the chain-type price index for GDP goods and structures is used.
3. Chained-dollar consumption of fixed capital of nonfinancial corporate business is calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by

100.

4. Chained-dollar net value added of nonfinancial corporate business is the difference between the gross product and the consumption of fixed capital.

N o t e . Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights

inventory investment is included in government consumption expenditures.
N o t e . Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar 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.

1. Government consumption expenditures are services (such as education and national defense) produced by government that are valued at their cost of production. Excludes government sales to other sectors and
government own-account investment (construction and software).
2. Consumption of fixed capital, or depreciation, is included in government gross output as a partial measure of the services of general government fixed assets; the use of depreciation assumes a zero net return on

1. Government consumption expenditures are services (such as education and national defense) produced by government that are valued at their cost of production. Excludes government sales to other sectors and
government own-account investment (construction and software).
2. Consumption of fixed capital, or depreciation, is included in government gross output as a partial measure of the services of general government fixed assets; the use of depreciation assumes a zero net return on
these assets.
3. Includes general government intermediate inputs for goods and services sold to other sectors and for own-account investment.
4. Own-account investment is measured in current dollars by compensation of general government employees and related expenditures for goods and services and is classified as investment in structures and in
software in table 3.9.5.
Note. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 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.

1. National defense consumption expenditures are defense services produced by government that are valued at their
cost of production. Excludes government sales to other sectors and government own-account investment (construction
and software).
2. Consumption of fixed capital, or depreciation, is included in government gross output as a partial measure of the
services of general government fixed assets; the use of depreciation assumes a zero net return on these assets.
3. Includes general government intermediate inputs for goods and services sold to other sectors and for own-account
investment.
4. Own-account investment is measured in current dollars by compensation of general government employees and
related expenditures for goods and services and is classified as investment in structures and in software.
5. Gross government investment consists of general government and government enterprise expenditures for fixed
assets; inventory investment is included in government consumption expenditures.
N o t e . Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar 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.

1. Exports and imports of certain goods, primarily military equipment purchased and sold by the federal government,
are included in services. Beginning with 1986, repairs and alterations of equipment are reclassified from goods to services.
2. The quantity index for computers can be used to accurately measure the real growth of this component. However,
because computeis exhibit rapid changes in prices relative to other prices in the economy, the chained-dollar estimates
should not be used to measure the component’s relative importance or its contribution to the growth rate of more aggregate
series; accurate estimates of these contributions are shown in table 4.2.2. and real growth rates are shown in table 4.2.1.
3. Includes parts of foods, feeds, and beverages, of nondurable industrial supplies and materials, and of nondurable
nonautomotive consumer goods.
N o t e . Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar 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. For exports and for
imports, the residual line is the difference between the aggregate line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

1. Consists primarily of religious, educational, vocational, lodging, railroads, farm, and amusement and recreational
structures, net purchases of used structures, and brokers’ commissions on the sale of structures.
2. The quantity index for computers can be used to accurately measure the real growth rate of this component.
However, because computers exhibit rapid changes in prices relative to other prices in the economy, the chained-dollar
estimates should not be used to measure the component’s relative importance or its contribution to the growth rate of more
aggregate series; accurate estimates of these contributions are shown in table 5.3.2 and real growth rates are shown in
table 5.3.1.
3. Excludes software “embedded,” or bundled, in computers and other equipment.
4. Includes communication equipment, nonmedical instruments, medical equipment and instruments, photocopy and
related equipment, and office and accounting equipment.
5. Consists primarily of furniture and fixtures, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, mining and oilfield
machinery, service industry machinery, and electrical equipment not elsewhere classified.
6. Consists primarily of manufactured homes, improvements, dormitories, net purchases of used structures, and
brokers' commissions on the sale of residential structures.
7. Excludes net purchases of used structures and brokers' commissions on the sale of structures.
N o t e . Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar 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.

1. This series is derived from the Census Bureau series “current cost inventories.”
2. 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 (such as first-in, first-out and last-in, first-out) 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.
N o t e . Estimates in this table are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

N o t e . Estimates in this table are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
Chained (2000) dollar series for real change in private 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 chaineddollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most
detailed lines.
