Special in this issue
1 The Measurement of Depreciation in the U.S. National Income
and Product Accounts
As part of the recent comprehensive revision of the NIPA'S, BEA introduced an
improved methodology for calculating depreciation and capital stocks. This
article by Barbara Fraumeni, a professor at Northeastern University and a
consultant for BEA, reviews the empirical liturature that supports BEA'S use of
geometric patterns of depreciation in the revised estimates.

43 U.S. International Transactions, Revised Estimates for 1974-96
This year's annual revision of the balance of payments accounts incorporates
significant improvements in the investment income, capital, and services accounts. In the investment income accounts, the estimates of income receipts
incorporate the results of the first benchmark survey of the stock of U.S. portfolio investment abroad in over 50 years. In the capital accounts, estimates
of the international flows of U.S. currency appear for the first time. In the
services accounts, preliminary results from the first annual surveys of financial services are incorporated. On the revised basis, the U.S. current-account
deficit is $148.2 billion in 1996* compared with $165.1 billion on the previously
published basis; the revision is more than accounted for by an upward revision
to exports of goods, services, and income.

l\egular features
1

Business Situation
Real GDP increased 5.9 percent in the first quarter 0/1997. Real GNP increased
5.0 percent, and real GNP on a command basis increased 5.6 percent. Corporate profits jumped $42.4 billion, as profits of both financial and nonfinancial
domestic corporations rebounded strongly from fourth-quarter decreases.

24

The International Investment Position of the United States in 1996
The net international investment position of the United States became more
negative in 1996: On a current-cost basis, it increased $182.8 billion, to -$870.5
billion; and on a market-value basis, it increased $193.8 billion, to -$831.3
billion. The change in the position in 1996 was attributable to large net capital
inflows to the United States. However, for the direct investment component
of the position, U.S. assets abroad continued to exceed foreign assets in the
United States.

Direct Investment Positions for 1996: Country and Industry Detail
In 1996, the U.S. direct investment position abroad valued at historical cost
increased n percent, reflecting large capital outflows that were mainly in the
form of reinvested earnings. Nearly half of the increase in the position was
accounted for by Europe, mostly by the United Kingdom. The foreign direct
investment position in the United States valued at historical cost increased 12
percent, reflecting large capital inflows that were mainly in the form of equity
capital—both from capital contributions to existing U.S. affiliates and from
acquisitions of U.S. business by foreigners. Most of the increase in the position
was accounted for by Europe.

56

U.S. International Transactions, First Quarter 1997
The U.S. current-account deficit increased $4.1 billion, to $41.0 billion, in the
first quarter o/ipp/. A shift to a deficit on investment income and an increase
in the deficit on goods and services were partly offset by a decrease in net
unilateral transfers. In the capital account, net recorded inflows were $59.1
billion in the first quarter, $19.0 billion higher than in the fourth.

1. Based on chained (1992) weights.
NoiE.-The final estimates for the first quarter of 1997 incorporate the following revised or additional major source data that
were not available when the preliminary estimates were prepared.
Personal consumption expenditures: Revised retail sales for March.
Nonresidential fixed investment Revised construction put in place for February and March and revised manufacturers' shipments
of machinery and equipment for March.
Residential fixed investment Revised construction put in place for February and March.
Change in business inventories: Revised manufacturing and trade inventories for February and March.
Exports and imports of goods and services: Revised exports and imports for October 1996 through March; revised balance of
payments data on exports and imports of services for the first quarter; and revised seasonal factors
Government consumption expenditures and gross investment Revised State and local construction put in place for February and
March and revised State and local government employment for January, February, and March.
Wages and salaries: Revised employment, average hourly earnings, and average weekly hours for October 1996 through March
and revised seasonal factors.
GDP prices: Revised values and quantities of petroleum imports for March and revised prices of single-family homes under construction for the first quarter.




i. Quarterly estimates in the national income and product accounts are
expressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, and quarter-to-quarter dollar
changes are differences between these estimates. Quarter-to-quarter percent
changes are annualized and are calculated from unrounded data. Real estimates are expressed in chained (1992) dollars, and price indexes are chain-type
indexes.

The general picture of the economy that is
indicated by the final estimates of the national
income and product accounts (NIPA'S) is little
changed from that shown by the preliminary estimates. GDP increased more in the first quarter
than in the fourth quarter of 1996, and the larger
increase was more than accounted for by an upturn in the change in business inventories, by an
acceleration in consumer spending, and by an
upturn in business investment in equipment. In
addition, small upturns in residential investment
and in government spending also contributed to
the step-up in GDP. In contrast, exports and business investment in structures increased less in
the first quarter than in the fourth, and imports
increased more.

Revisions to the components of GDP were
small. A downward revision to imports, which
are subtracted from final expenditures in the calculation of GDP, more than offset a downward
revision to the change in business inventories.
The revision to imports was to goods and primarily reflected the incorporation of the annual
revisions of Census Bureau and BEA data for U.S.
international trade in goods and services, and
the revision to the change in business inventories
primarily reflected the incorporation of revised
Census Bureau data for manufacturing and trade
inventories for March,2
Real final sales of domestic product increased
4.1 percent in the first quarter, 0.3 percentage
point more than the preliminary estimate. Real
gross domestic purchases increased 7.1 percent,
0.2 percentage point less than the preliminary
estimate.
The price index for gross domestic purchases
increased 2.2 percent, the same as the preliminary
estimate, and the price index for GDP increased
2.7 percent, o.i percentage point less than the
preliminary estimate.
Real disposable personal income increased 4.0
percent, 0.2 percentage point less than the pre2. For additional information on the annual revisions to the U.S. international trade in goods and services estimates, see "U.S. International
Transactions, Revised Estimates for 1974-96" in this issue.

liminary estimate. The personal saving rate was
4.7 percent, o.i percentage point less than the
preliminary estimate.
Gross national product (GNP).—Real GNP increased 5.0 percent in the first quarter, 0.9
percentage point less than the increase in real
GDP (chart i and table 2).3 Receipts of factor
income from the rest of the world decreased,
and payments of factor income increased sharply;
corporate profits more than accounted for the decrease in receipts, and interest income accounted
for a little more of the increase in payments than
did profits.
Real GNP on a command basis increased more
than real GNP in the first quarter—5.6 percent, compared with 5.0 percent—reflecting an
improvement in the terms of trade.4 In the
fourth quarter, command-basis GNP increased
less than real GNP—3.7 percent, compared with
4.2 percent—reflecting a deterioration in the
terms of trade.

Corporate Profits
Profits from current production jumped $42.4
billion in the first quarter after decreasing $7.2
billion in the fourth (table a).5
Profits of domestic industries increased $52.5
billion after decreasing $20.5 billion. Profits
of both financial and nonfinancial corporations
rebounded strongly. For nonfinancial corporations, the first-quarter increase in profits reflected
increases in both real output and in unit profits. Profits from the rest of the world decreased
3. GNP—goods and services produced by labor and property supplied by
U.S. residents—equals GDP plus receipts of factor income from the rest of
the world less payments of factor income to the rest of the world.
4. In the estimation of command-basis GNP—a measure of the goods and
services produced by the U.S. economy in terms of their purchasing power—
the current-dollar value of the sum of exports of goods and services and of
receipts of factor income is deflated by the implicit price deflator for the sum
of imports of goods and services and of payments of factor income.
The terms of trade is a measure of the relationship between the prices
that are received by U.S. producers for exports of goods and services and the
prices that are paid by U.S. purchasers for imports of goods and services. It is
measured by the following ratio, with the decimal point shifted two places to
the right: In the numerator, the implicit price deflator for the sum of exports
of goods and services and of receipts of factor income; in the denominator,
the implicit price deflator for the sum of imports of goods and services
and of payments of factor income. Changes in the terms of trade reflect
the interaction of several factors, including movements in exchange rates,
changes in the composition of the traded goods and services, adjustment lags,
and changes in producers' profit margins. For example, if the U.S. dollar
depreciates against a foreign currency, a foreign manufacturer may choose to
absorb this cost by reducing the profit margin on the product it sells to the
United States, or it may choose to raise the price of the product and risk a
loss in market share.
5. Profits from current production is estimated as the sum of profits
before tax, the inventory valuation adjustment, and the capital consumption
adjustment; it is shown in NIPA tables 1.9,1.14,1.16, and 6.i6c as "corporate
profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments."

Industry profits.—Industry profits increased $40.1
billion after decreasing $9.7 billion.7 For domestic financial corporations, a sharp first-quarter
increase followed a fourth-quarter decrease that
had reflected a special assessment on thrift institutions to recapitalize the Savings Association
Insurance Fund. For domestic nonfinancial
corporations, an upturn in profits reflected upturns in the transportation and public utilities
group and in retail trade; in contrast, profits in
manufacturing and in "other" nonfinancial corporations posted relatively small changes, as they
had in the fourth quarter, and profits in wholesale
trade increased less than in the fourth quarter.
Related measures.—Profits before tax (PBT) increased $3104 billion after increasing $1.5 billion.
The difference between the $29.9 billion stepup in PBT and the $49,6 billion upturn in
profits from current production was accounted
for by inventory profits, which decreased after
increasing.8

flow to nonresidential fixed investment, an indicator of the share of the current level of
investment that could be financed by internally
generated funds, increased to 82.3 percent from
80.9 percent. These levels are near the low end of
the range in which the ratio has fluctuated during most of this decade, but they are substantially
higher than its average level, 73.5 percent, in the
1980*8.

7. Industry profits, which are estimated as the sum of corporate profits
before tax and the inventory valuation adjustment, are shown in NIPA table
6.160. Estimates of the capital consumption adjustment do not exist at a
detailed industry level; they are available only for total financial and total
nonfinancial industries.
8. In periods of changing prices, companies that value inventory withdrawals at original acquisition (historical) costs may realize inventory profits
or losses. Inventory profits, a capital-gains-like element in profits, results
from an increase in inventory prices, and inventory losses, a capital-loss-like
element in profits, results from a decrease in inventory prices. Inventory
profits or losses are recorded in the national income and product accounts
as the inventory valuation adjustment with the sign reversed.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Annual Revision of the NIPA'S
On July 31,1997, BEA will release summary results from
an annual revision of the national income and product
accounts (NIPA'S). This year's revision, which covers the
estimates beginning with the first quarter of 1993, consists
of the usual incorporation of better source data and improved methodology, including an improvement in the
calculation of real output and prices for recent periods
(see below).

Publication of the revised NIPA estimates
The August SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS will feature
an article that presents the revised NIPA estimates and
discusses the major sources of the revisions. The issue
will contain the summary accounts of the NIPA'S for 1996;
the summary historical NIPA tables; a complete list of the
NIPA tables; and most of the full set of NIPA tables. Tables 7.5, 7.7, 7.8,7.12, and 7.13 (detailed components of the
annual estimates of personal consumption expenditures,
private purchases of structures and producers' durable
equipment, national defense spending, and government
investment), which currently show only price indexes,
will be expanded to include quantity indexes and reorganized into separate panels for the quantity indexes and
the price indexes. Tables 7.4, 7.6, 7.9, 7.10, 7.118, and
7.14 (quarterly quantity and price indexes for the major components of gross domestic product) will also be
reorganized into this easier-to-use format. In addition,
the following quantity-index tables will be added: 7.17
(GDP by type of product), 7.18 (auto output), 7.19 (truck
output), and 7.20 (gross and net investment).
The September SURVEY will include an article that describes the major methodologies and source data used to
prepare the NIPA estimates and that features the two tables that summarize the methodology for preparing the
estimates of GDP (these tables were last presented beginning on page 84 of the August 1996 SURVEY). The
September SURVEY will also contain the new and revised

estimates of fixed reproducible tangible wealth in the
United States (tables 1-15) that are consistent with the
revised NIPA estimates.
The October SURVEY will contain the NIPA tables that
were not published in the August issue—the government
expenditures by type and function tables and the government reconciliation tables (3.15-3.20) and the seasonally
unadjusted tables (9.1-9.6).
In the November SURVEY, revised estimates of gross
product originating by industry for 1993-96 will be
presented.
The estimates associated with the annual revision
will be made available from STAT-USA on the Economic Bulletin Board and on their Internet site
(httpi//www.stat-usa.gov). (For more information, call STAT-USA at (202) 482-1986.) Selected estimates will also be posted on the BEA Internet site
(httpt//www.bea.doc.gov). In addition, the published estimates will be available on computer diskettes;
to order, write to the Bureau of Economic Analysis,
BEA Order Desk (BE-53), Washington, DC 20230 or call
1-800-704-0415.

Improved estimates of real output and prices
As indicated in the May 1997 SURVEY, this year's annual
revision will introduce an improvement in the calculation of real output and prices for recent periods when
prices and quantities for the 2 adjacent years are not
yet available. BEA'S current procedure would have used
the prices and quantities from the most recently completed year (1996) as fixed weights in the calculation of
the estimates beginning with the third quarter of 1996;
instead, BEA will introduce a new procedure that uses the
prices and quantities from the two adjacent quarters as
weights to calculate Fisher chain-type measures for these
estimates.

and leather products
3. Prior to 1981, inventories and sales of auto and home supply stores are induded in motor vehicle dealers.
Beginning with 1981, these inventories are included in "other durable goods".
NOTES.-Manufacturing inventories are classified by the type of product produced by the establishment hdding
the inventory. Trade inventories are classified by the type of product sold by the establishment holding the inventory.
Chained (1992) dollar inventory series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the
average of the end-of-year fixed-weighted inventories for 1991 and 1992, divided by 100. Because the formula for
the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates
are usually not additive
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines for inventories.

The Measurement of Depreciation in the
U.S. National Income and Product Accounts
By Barbara M. Fraumeni

As part of the recent comprehensive revision of the NIPA'S,
BEA introduced an improved methodology for calculating depreciation. The improved methodology uses empirical evidence
on the prices of used equipment and structures in resale markets, which has shown that depredation for most types of assets
approximates a geometric pattern. Previously, the depredation estimates were derived using straight-line depredation
and assumed patterns of retirements.
This article describes the theoretical and empirical literature that supports the new BEA methodology. The authort
a professor of economics at Northeastern Universityf Bostont
Massachusetts, drafted the article while she was serving as a
consultant to BEA for this project. The views expressed are the
author's and do not necessarily represent those of BEA.
HIS ARTICLE describes the basis for the new
depreciation methodology used by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)/ The new BEA
methodology reflects the results of empirical
studies on the prices of used equipment and
structures in resale markets, which have shown
that depreciation for most kinds of equipment
and structures does not follow a straight-line
pattern,,
For most assets, empirical studies
on specific assets conclude a geometric pattern
of depreciation is appropriate.2 The new BEA
methodology also uses a geometric pattern of
depreciation as the default option when information on specific assets is unavailable.3 In either
case, the geometric (constant) rate of depreciation is determined from empirical studies of used
assets. For some assets (autos, computers, missiles, and nuclear fuel), empirical studies, BEA
data, or technological factors justify the use of
a nongeometric pattern of depreciation by BEA.
This article reviews the empirical research on depreciation, the basis for the improvement in BEA
methodology.
Previous BEA estimates of depreciation were
based on a straight-line pattern for depreciation;
the switch is to a geometric pattern for depre-

ciation for most assets. A straight-line pattern
assumes equal dollar depreciation over the life of
the asset. For example, with straight-line depreciation, depreciation in the first year is equal to
depreciation in the second year, which is equal
to depreciation in the third year, and so on. A
geometric pattern is a specific type of accelerated
pattern. An accelerated pattern assumes higher
dollar depreciation in the early years of an asset's
service life than in the later years. For example, with accelerated depreciation, depreciation
in the first year is greater than that in the second year, which is in turn greater than that in
the third year, and so on. In BEA calculations,
in the absence of investment, geometric depreciation is calculated as a constant fraction of detailed
constant-dollar net stocks.
In most cases, the rates of geometric depreciation are based on the Hulten-Wykoff estimates
(Hulten and Wykoff i98ib). For some assets
(computer equipment and autos), nongeometric
depreciation rates estimated in empirical studies
or from BEA data are used. For a few assets (missiles and nuclear fuel rods), BEA has
retained its prior methodology of deriving estimates of depreciation using straight-line depreciation and Winfrey retirement patterns.4 The
original Hulten-Wykoff rates are modified to
reflect service lives currently used by BEA.
The first section of this article briefly describes
the relevant depreciation concepts. The second
section discusses previous BEA methodology and
Hulten-Wykoff methodology in the context of
these depreciation concepts. The empirical research on depreciation is summarized in the third

depreciation rates for all assets except autos, computers, missiles, and nuclear fuel are listed and

consists of a brief conclusion.

Depreciation Concepts 5
Definitions
The value of an asset changes as the result of depreciation and revaluation.6 Depreciation is the
change in value associated with the aging of an
asset. As an asset ages, its price changes because
it declines in efficiency, or yields fewer productive
services, in the current period and in all future
periods. Depreciation reflects the present value of
all such current and future changes in productive
services.
Revaluation is the change in value or price per
unit that is associated with everything other than
aging. Revaluation includes pure inflation, obsolescence, and any other impact on the price of an
asset not associated with aging.
The decomposition of the change in the value
of an asset is illustrated in table i for an asset with
price per unit. The price of an asset, Ptime,age>
in time o and the price of an asset in time i is
observed. There are two possible sources of the
price change: The first being a change in the price
of an asset because it has aged and the second
5. The sources for this section include papers by Triplett (i99aa> *992b,
1996), by Jorgenson (1989,1996), by Young and Musgrave (1980), and by BEA
(1993).
6. BEA and the author of this article differ in their definition of depreciation in national accounts. This will be discussed briefly in the section "BEA
definition."

Table 1.—Depreciation Versus Revaluation
Represent the price of an asset by (Ptime,age).
A change in the price of an asset at time = 1, (Ptime=i,age=i — Ptime=o,age=o)>
is equal to
depreciation, (Ptime=o,age=i ~ ^time=o,age=o)>

or age effects, holding time constant
plus
revaluation, (Ptime=i,age=i ~ J\ime=o,age=i)>

or time effects, holding age constant.
Schematically, representing the decomposition of the observed price change
(•Ptime=i,age=i - J°time=o,age=o)> in bold and with arrows, and the matrix of price
changes over time = 0,1,... T and age = 0,1,... A, where D is depreciation and
R is revaluation:
TIME

* time=2,age=o

•Ptime=T,age=o

being a change in the price of an asset because it
is a different time period. The decomposition can
be illustrated in the simplest case by reference to
the well-known used-car price book. Prices for iyear-old cars of the same make and model in the
1997 book and their prices when new provide an
estimate of depreciation because everything but
age is held constant. Prices for i-year-old cars of
the same make and model in the 1996 and 1997
price books provide an estimate of revaluation,
because age is held constant while everything else
changes.
Obsolescence is a decrease in the value of an
asset because a new asset is more productive, efficient, or suitable for production. A new asset
might be more suited for production because it
economizes on an input that has become relatively more expensive. Obsolescence has played a
big part in the debate about the impact of the oil
embargo on productivity.7 Other impacts on the
price of an asset include the price effect of any
changes in taxes or interest rates facing business
not anticipated when the asset was new. If depreciation and retirement patterns did not change
over time, revaluation could be estimated from a
used-asset-price book, as described above.
BEA definition
BEA defines depreciation as "the decline in value
due to wear and tear, obsolescence, accidental
damage, and aging" (Katz and Herman 1997,
70), which includes retirements, or discards as
they are frequently called.8 BEA includes the destruction of privately owned fixed assets that is
associated with natural disasters in depreciation.9
BEA focuses on depreciation as the consumption
of fixed capital or as a cost of production. Depreciation is viewed as a cost incurred in the
production of gross domestic product (GDP), as a
deduction in the calculation of business income,
7. Martin N. Baily (1981) argues that the rapid increase in energy prices
during the oil embargo rendered certain types of assets obsolete, leading to
a decline in the rate of productivity change. A rebuttal to this argument is
contained in Hulten, Robertson, and Wykoff (1989).
8. Retirements or discards are assets withdrawn from service.
9. The current BEA treatment of natural disasters in part reflects the
absence from the national income and product accounts of an integrated
balance sheet and raises another set of issues that will not be discussed here.

and as a partial measure of the value of services
of government fixed assets. BEA'S conceptualization of depreciation as such is generally consistent
with the work of Fabricant (1938, 12-14) and
Denison (1957) and the definition of depreciation
in the System of National Accounts (SNA).10 It is
also consistent with the concept of the consumption of fixed capital in the context of estimates
of sustainable product, or income, where depreciation is subtracted from GDP to derive net
domestic product and net domestic income—a
rough measure of that level of income or consumption that can be maintained while leaving
capital intact.
The essential difference between BEA'S depreciation definition and the definition in this article
is the treatment of obsolescence. Obsolescence
shows up in the national income and product
accounts (NIPA'S) in at least two ways. One,
BEA depreciation estimates include obsolescence
through a service-life effect and through the use
of depreciation rates estimated from used-asset
prices unadjusted for the effects of obsolescence.
Assets may be retired early, when they are still
productive, because of obsolescence; this is reflected in BEA'S depreciation estimates, as service
lives affect the estimate of the geometric rates of
depreciation used for most assets.11 Two, obsolescence is reflected in the constant-quality prices
that are part of the NiPA's.12 In addition to the
theoretical usefulness of separating the effects of
obsolescence from those associated with the physical deterioration of an asset, BEA'S use of hedonic
and other quality-adjusted price indexes suggests
an empirical reason why greater attention may
have to be paid to the effects of obsolescence.
In its future work, BEA plans to conduct studies
focusing on quality change and obsolescence.13

10. The SNA defines depreciation as "the decline, during the course of the
accounting period, in the current value of the stock of fixed assets owned and
used by a producer as a result of physical deterioration, normal obsolescence,
or normal accidental damage" (SNA 1993,147, 6.179).
11. See the next section and "BEA default geometric-depreciation rates."
12. See Oliner (1993, 55) for a discussion of constant-quality prices and
depreciation in the context of a study of mainframe computers. BEA is using
Oliner's partial depreciation measure, which is consistent with BEA'S hedonic
price index for computers.
13. The author of this article and BEA both agree that further work needs
to be done to quantify obsolescence and to identify the impact of obsolescence and quality change on national income accounting measures. Further
consideration of the major issues surrounding the definitional differences described above could be one component of future work on obsolescence and
quality change.




Specifics of BEA Methodology and
Hulten-Wykoff Methodology
Specifics of BEA methodology14
As noted, BEA has used a straight-line pattern of
depreciation since the 1950*8. Depreciation is an
equal dollar amount per period over the lifetime
of the asset.
Retirements for a group of assets depended on
the group's average service life and on the pattern
of retirements (the distribution of retirements
around the mean service life)0
Once retirements have begun, the combined
effects of straight-line depreciation and retirements result in a depreciation pattern that is
more accelerated than a straight-line depreciation pattenio An accelerated depreciation pattern
assumes higher dollar depreciation in the early
years of an asset's service life than in the later
years.
Mean service lives are estimated from a wide
variety of sources, both government and private,, In general, information is not available to
provide different mean service lives by industry
Production-type manufacturing equipment is a
notable exception. Similarly, in general, information is not available on changes in mean service
lives over time, if they do occur; aircraft is one
exception to this general rule. When a mean
service life is changed, the new mean service life
is applied only to new assets. There is no effect
on depreciation of existing assets.
A modified S-3 Winfrey curve was used for
most assets to estimate the pattern of actual retirements around the mean; a L-2 Winfrey curve
was used for consumer durables (Winfrey 1967;
Russo and Cowles 1980), The 8-3 curve is a bellshaped distribution centered on the mean service
life of the asset. It was used for private nonresidential equipment (except autos) and structures,
private residential equipment, and government
residential equipment and structures. The L-2
curve is an asymmetrical distribution with heavier discards before the mean service life. Both sets
of Winfrey curves were modified to reflect different assumptions about when retirements begin
and end as a percentage of the mean service life
of the asset.
Expected obsolescence implicitly enters into
BEA estimates of depreciation through shorter asset lifetimes and through the retirement pattern
previously used. The mean service life of a class
of assets could be shorter because obsolescence

has occurred consistently over the historical period or is reflected in the occasional revision of
mean service lives. In addition, as obsolescence
can result in early retirement, the modified Winfrey patterns may have been picking up some of
the obsolescence effects.15
BEA adjusts depreciation estimates to capture
the effect of natural disasters that destroy large
amounts of fixed capital.

Specifics of Hulten-Wykoff

methodology16

Initially, Hulten and Wykoff made no assumption
about what form depreciation patterns take0 Instead, they estimated used-asset age-price profiles
for eight producers' durable equipment or nonresidential equipment assets, which they called
type A assets, with a Box-Cox model (Box
and Cox 1964) ,17 They tested to see whether
the resulting depreciation patterns most nearly
resembled patterns arising from one-hoss-shay,
straight-line, or geometric efficiency patterns,,18
There is a direct correspondence between
efficiency patterns and depreciation patterns.
Present and future declines in efficiency result in
depreciation or declines in the value of an asset as it ages. A one-hoss-shay efficiency pattern
assumes that no loss in efficiency occurs until
the asset is retired. The corresponding depreciation pattern is less accelerated than a straight-line
pattern of depreciation with lower dollar depreciation in the early years of an asset's service life
than in the later years. A straight-line efficiency
pattern assumes equal declines in efficiency in
each period over the life of the asset. The corresponding depreciation pattern, which has higher
dollar depreciation in the early years of an asset's
service life than in the later years, is accelerated
relative to a straight-line pattern of depreciation.
A geometric efficiency pattern also gives rise to an
accelerated depreciation pattern. The geometric
pattern is a special case because the efficiency pattern and the depreciation pattern have the same
form, with declines in efficiency and depreciation
occurring at the same rate.
Hulten and Wykoff concluded that depreciation patterns for eight assets are accelerated.
In addition, although all three patterns were
15. Young and Musgrave maintain that expected obsolescence should be
charged when the asset is retired (Young and Musgrave 1980, 34, figure 1.1).
BEA'S methodology does not do this.
16. The information on Hulten-Wykoff methodology is taken from three
sources: Hulten and Wykoff (i98ia and i98ib) and Wykoff and Hulten (1979).
17. Age-price profiles map ages of assets with their prices.
18. An efficiency pattern is a pattern describing the productive services
from an asset as it ages. The efficiency of a new asset is typically normalized
to 1.0. As an asset declines in efficiency, its efficiency has a value of less than

rejected statistically, they concluded that the
depreciation pattern was approximately geometric in all cases. In 1977, the eight producers'
durable equipment or nonresidential equipment
assets—tractors, construction machinery, metalworking machinery, general industrial equipment, trucks, autos, industrial buildings, and
commercial buildings—amounted to 55 percent
of investment expenditures on producers' durable
equipment and 42 percent of spending on nonresidential structures. They assumed that the depreciation pattern for the remaining 24 out of 32
producers' durable equipment and nonresidential structures NIPA classes contemporary to their
study was geometric. These were categorized as
type B or type C assets.
Since used-asset prices reflect only surviving assets (a censored-sample problem), Hulten
and Wykoff weighted used-asset prices by the
probability of survival before estimating the depreciation patterns.19 Weighted used-asset prices
reflect surviving and retired assets. The probability of survival, the weight, depends upon the
mean service lives of assets and on the deviation of retirements around the mean service life.
Mean service lives were assumed to be 100 percent of Bulletin F. An LO Winfrey curve was
used to estimate the pattern of actual retirements
about the mean for structures. The LO curve
is an asymmetrical distribution that allows for
some assets to survive to very old ages relative to
the mean service lives. An 8-3 curve, described
above, was used for metalworking machinery and
general industrial machinery.20 Finally, an assumption was needed about the net value of an
asset (scrappage value less demolition costs) to
complete the transformation of a surviving-asset
sample to an estimated sample of both surviving
and retired assets. Hulten and Wykoff assumed
that the net value of an asset retired from service
was on average zero. The used-asset prices inputted to the Box-Cox model were thus weighted
and net value adjusted. As a result, the depreciation estimates from the Box-Cox model reflected
both efficiency declines and retirements.
19. The censored-sample problem can be illustrated by the following example. Suppose that two cars are bought new in 1980. By 1990, one is still
in service and one has been junked. The one that is still is service is sold
as a used car, say for $1,000. If we take the used-car sales price to be representative of all cars bought new in 1980, we would assume that the 1990
value of all cars bought new in 1980 is $2,000. In fact, the 1990 value of the
cars is $1,000 or on average $500 per car. Hulten and Wykoff, by weighting
used-asset prices by the probability of survival, are calculating the used-asset
price equivalent of an average 1990 value of $500 per car bought new in 1980.
Their procedure assumes that the used-asset price of nonsurvivors is zero.
20. BEA at the time typically assumed mean service lives were 85 percent
of Bulletin F and used a modified 8-3 Winfrey curve for most assets except
consumer durables.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

The used-asset prices were adjusted for the effects of inflation on these prices by the inclusion
of a time variable in the Box-Cox estimation
procedure.
With a geometric pattern, the rate of depreciation, 5, depends only on the declining-balance
rate and the asset's service life:

where T is the average asset service life from Bulletin F, and 1? is the estimated declining-balance

declining-balance rate, R, the higher the geometric rate of depreciation, £G> and the higher
depreciation is in the early years of an asset's
service life. This contrasts with a straightline depreciation pattern. With a straight-line
pattern:

rate for producers' durable equipment was 1.65,
and for private nonresidential structures, o.pi.22
In both cases, the declining-balance rate was estimated on average to be significantly less than a
double-declining-balance rate (R = 2).23
Summary of Empirical Research
Empirical research on depreciation has been conducted on most asset categories included in the
U.S. national income and wealth accounts. These
studies can be broadly classified into studies
that looked at market-based used-asset prices to
estimate depreciation and those that did not.24
Research based on used-asset prices
A large number of studies have employed price
data from individual market transactions, dealers5
price lists, insurance records, or rental prices to
estimate actual depreciation. Table 2 lists these
studies. Two studies cover a large number of
asset classes or industries: Hulten-Wykoff covering U.S. assets and Koumanakos-Hwang covering
Canadian assets. Of the 29 studies listed, half deal
22. With truncation, 0.9 was frequently used in the actual calculations.
23. At the time of Hulten and Wykoff s research, researchers commonly
assumed that the appropriate declining-balance rate was double declining.
24. This section draws heavily on three previous surveys of empirical research on depreciation. They are Hulten and Wykoff (i98ib), Jorgenson
(1996), and Brazell, Dworin, and Walsh (1989).

with mechanized vehicles (automobiles, trucks,
or farm tractors). Data on used prices are readily available for these assets. Three studies each
investigate depreciation for computers and real
estate. Two studies each cover ships (fishing
boats and oil tankers) and machine tools. One
study, by Shriver, deals with industrial machinery and equipment. The remaining study is a
study of scientific instruments by the Office of
Tax Analysis. A variety of methodological approaches were used. They include hedonics, an
analysis of variance, and Box-Cox or polynomial
forms for the estimated equation.25
General issues affecting used-asset-price studies
All used-asset-price studies are potentially biased,
because the asset sample may not be representative of the population as a whole or because
economic conditions affect prices.26 First, asset
samples normally represent only surviving assets. Second, surviving-asset samples or their
sale prices may not represent the population of
surviving assets. Third, changes in economic
conditions, including taxes and interest rates,
may affect used-asset prices. Finally, a used-asset
price may be affected by the value of an associated
input.
If asset samples represent only surviving assets, then age-price profiles of used-asset samples
underestimate depreciation for the population as
a whole because retirements are not included.27
Hulten and Wykoff estimated for commercial and
industrial buildings that such an error would
reduce depreciation estimates by more than onehalf, There are two possible solutions to this
problem,, One, retirements can be added to depreciation, similar to the way BEA modifies its
straight-line depreciation pattern to allow for the
pattern of retirements. Two, a censored-sample
adjustment can be made to the used-asset prices
before the depreciation pattern is estimated, in
a manner similar to Hulten and Wykoff. It
is important for the researcher and user to
know whether the depreciation pattern includes
retirements (as in Hulten-Wykoff) or excludes
retirements (as in the BEA accounts). A straightline pattern excluding retirements will no longer
be a straight-line pattern once retirements are
25. Triplett (1989,128) defines a hedonic function as a relation between
prices of varieties or models of heterogeneous goods—or services—and the
quantities of characteristics contained in them. A Box-Cox model is a model
that transforms the form of the variables in the model (Box and Cox 1964).
26. The authors who have addressed the question of sample bias in
used-asset-price studies include Triplett (1996), DeLeeuw (1981), Hulten and
Wykoff (i98ib) and Boskin, Robinson, and Roberts (1989).
27. An example illustrating this point is given in footnote 19.

included, and a geometric pattern excluding retirements will no longer be a geometric pattern
once retirements are included.
Surviving-asset samples or their prices may
not represent the population of surviving assets.
Business may put up for sale their superior or
inferior assets. Assets may be worth more or less
to the buyers than to the sellers. Finally, buyers
may not be able to accurately perceive the value
of the assets for sale.
It is not clear what is the extent or direction of
a possible surviving-asset-sample bias. Whether
or not businesses put up for sale their superior or
inferior assets depends on whether they are trying to maximize the proceeds from such sales or
to sell off less desirable or obsolete assets. Differences in buyer-versus-seller asset value may bias
used-asset prices in either direction as well. A
declining business may be selling off an asset that
represents idle capacity and that another business
in the same industry could fully utilize or an asset
that has limited use to businesses in other industries. Assets may be configured to meet the needs
of a particular business so that they are more
valuable to their seller than to their buyer. Finally, buyers may underestimate or overestimate
the value of used assets for sale.
The lemons hypothesis maintains that the value
of assets for sale will underestimate the value of
all assets in the stock (Ackerlof 1970). It argues
that a disproportionate number of assets sold will
be lemons, particularly if inspection by buyers
does not reveal which assets are lemons. Under
the lemons hypothesis, buyers will assume that
assets for sale are lemons; therefore, they will offer lower prices for all used assets. Sellers have
an incentive to offer lemons, since they will be
paid lemons prices for both lemons and more
desirable assets. Therefore, buyers* assumptions
are validated. If sellers have superior assets for
sale, the incentive will be to sell these privately
to obtain a reasonable price for the asset. Usedasset prices will be less than the average price of
the stock of assets because of the disproportionate number of lemons for sale and because buyers
will assume all used assets are lemons. The existence of asymmetric information between buyer
and seller is crucial in this hypothesis. Depreciation would be overestimated if inferred from
used-asset prices because the average price for
assets in the stock would be underestimated.
Hulten and Wykoff argue that most assets are
sold in markets with professional buyers who frequently buy and sell assets. Furthermore, these
buyers, who have the knowledge and expertise

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
to identify lemons, are not affected by asymmetric information. Hulten and Wykoff tested for
the existence of a lemons bias by comparing the
depreciation profiles of assets that might have
a lemons bias to an asset that arguably would
not (heavy construction equipment). Heavy construction equipment is commonly sold at the end
of a construction project and repurchased at the
beginning of the next construction project. They
found that the depreciation profiles for assets
possibly with and without a lemons bias were
both approximately geometric; therefore, they
concluded that the lemons bias is unimportant
in depreciation estimates.
Changes in tax laws, interest rates, and other
economic conditions might affect the value of
secondhand assets independently of any sample bias problems. For example, changes in
allowable tax depreciation taken for corporate income tax purposes may change the prices that
businesses are willing to pay for used assets.
Changes in interest rates may affect the cost of
borrowing to finance asset acquisition Finally,
demand conditions determine whether businesses
are expanding or contracting, affecting both the
demand for and supply of used assets. Obsolescence can also affect used-asset prices, as, for
example, discussed above in the context of the
energy crisis,28
If changes in tax laws, interest rates, and other
economic conditions significantly affect the value
of secondhand assets, age-price profile or retirement patterns would change over time unless
these changes are counterbalanced by offsetting
effects- The question of whether the age-price
profile or retirement patterns change over time
has been discussed in the context of several empirical studies. Hulten and Wykoff (ipSia, I98ib)
tested the stability of the age-price profiles for
office buildings, one of their largest samples. In
almost all cases, estimates of the rate of depreciation were stable over time. Hulten, Robertson,
Wykoff, and Shriver reached similar conclusions.
Hulten, Robertson, and Wykoff (1989) looked
at the effect of the energy crisis on used-asset
prices for four types of used machine tools and
five types of construction equipment. Shriver
(i986b) looked at the rates of economic depreciation for industrial machinery and equipment
in 3 different years with different demand characteristics. Cockburn and Frank (1992) found in
a study of oil tankers that economic depreciation or decay was largely unaffected by economic
conditions, but that retirements are quite senFor example, see footnote 7.




sitive to economic conditions. Powers (1988),
using book values, found that retirements for
two-digit Standard Industrial Classification manufacturing industries exhibit a cyclical pattern.
Taubman and Rasche (1971) and Feldstein and
Rothschild (1974) discuss in general the impact
of variables that change over time on age-price
profileSo Taubman and Rasche (1969) in their
study of office buildings found that changes in
rents and tax laws had little effect on depreciation rates. In most cases, studies have not been
done on different vintages of assets to determine
whether age-price profiles do significantly change
over time. Therefore, there is no definitive answer to the question of whether age-price profiles
shift over time.
In addition, used-asset prices can reflect the
fact that it may be difficult for buyers to separate
the value of an asset such as a building from the
value of the land on which it sits (the shoppingmall effect). The building may be incorrectly
valued because of the value of the site or the land
on which it sits.

Summary of research based on used-asset prices
Most of the used-asset studies do not directly
deal with possible biases arising from samples, such as those discussed in the previous
section (see table 2). In any case, the extent and the net direction of the possible biases are unclear. Four studies—Hulten-Wykoff,
Koumanakos-Hwang, Oliner (1996), and PerryGlyer—did adjust used-asset prices downward to
reflect zero valuation of retired assets in the original cohort. In addition, the Cockburn-Frank
paper illustrates how misleading it can be to estimate patterns of depreciation without accounting
for retirements.
Of the two studies covering a large number of
asset classes or industries, Hulten and Wykoffs
has already been discussed. The KoumanakosHwang study of Canadian assets, the other study,
bears a number of similarities to the HultenWykoff study. It used a modified Box-Cox model
to estimate depreciation for up to 27 different
asset classes for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing separately. Depreciation for building
construction and machinery and equipment for
up to 43 different industries were calculated from
a weighted average of the depreciation functions
of individual assets. Some depreciation estimates
were done for engineering construction as well.
Koumanakos and Hwang conclude that depreciation patterns for individual assets are approximately geometric for both the manufacturing

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

and nonmanufacturing sectors, with the degree
of convexity more pronounced in the manufacturing sectors.29 At the industry level, they
conclude that the geometric pattern is preferred
because it is the simplest pattern that gives a best
approximation of the actual data0
The 15 papers on motorized vehicles (automobiles, pickup trucks, or farm tractors) can be distinguished by whether a depreciation pattern was
assumed, whether the validity of such assumptions were tested econometrically, and whether
any general statements were made about the pattern of the used asset-price profile observed or
estimated.
Ackerman (1973) and Cagan (1971) for automobiles and Griliches (1960) for farm tractors
assumed a geometric rate of depreciation, and in
the case of Ackerman and Cagan, the assumption
allowed for the separate identification of quality.
None of these models were tested to see if the
assumption of a geometric rate was appropriate.
Seven studies—one for trucks (Hall 1971), three
for automobiles (Ohta and Griliches 1975; Wykoff
1970, 1989), and three for farm tractors (Penson, Hughes, and Nelson 1977; Penson, Romain,
and Hughes 1981; Perry and Glyer 1988)—tested
the appropriateness of a geometric assumption.
With the exception of the two studies by Penson and others and one by Perry-Glyer, these
studies concluded that although the assumption
of a geometric rate was not proven, that a geometric rate, in the words of Hall (1971, 258),
"is probably a reasonable approximation for most
purposes." Perry and Glyer found in their econometric model, which excluded tractor care and
usage, that depreciation rates were constant over
time. However, they found that depreciation
rates were not constant when these variables
were omitted. In their two studies, Penson and
others estimated from engineering data that the
pattern of productive-capacity depreciation for
farm tractors lies in between straight-line and
one-hoss-shay. However, if productive-capacity
depreciation is one-hoss-shay, depreciation as
defined in this article follows a concave, or
bowed-away-from-the-origin, pattern.30 Some
researchers found that the first-year decline in
asset prices was significantly greater than the de29. A convex depreciation pattern is bowed towards the origin in a graph
of price versus age.
30. Productive-capacity depreciation is measured by the additions to productive capacity required to maintain productive capacity at a constant level.
If an asset does not decline in efficiency or productive services yielded over
its lifetime until it is retired, (the lightbulb example), depreciation as defined
in this article still occurs because as the asset ages, it is getting closer to its
retirement (or light-going-out) date. The present value of future declines in
efficiency increases or depreciation occurs even if there is no current decline
in efficiency.

cline suggested by a geometric rate (Wykoff 1970;
Ackerman 1973), but question whether listed
prices accurately represent transactions prices.
Ohta and Griliches (1975, 362), though concluding that a geometric assumption is "not too
bad an assumption 'on the average'," conclude
without empirically testing that actual depreciation occurs at a faster rate with age. There is
evidence among the other studies that geometric rates may change over time (Ackerman 1973;
Perry and Glyer 1988; Wykoff 1970), but there is
no conclusive econometric evidence or consensus about the direction of the cliange. None of
the motorized-vehicle studies performed econometric tests for the existence of other than a
geometric depreciation pattern.
Three studies—one for trucks (OTA i99ib)
and two for automobiles (OTA i99ia; Ramm
1970)—calculated or econometrically estimated
used-asset age-price profiles, but did not report
any attempts to determine\the general shape of
the depreciation pattern. However in each study,
in general the age-price profile initially declined
more rapidly than it would under a straight-line
pattern of depreciation.
Lee (1978) and Cockburn and Frank (1992)
studied ships. The Lee study looked at data on
the insured value of Japanese fishing boats as a
proxy for new- and used-asset prices. The estimated depreciation pattern was geometric in
some cases (in general for steel boats) and not in
others (in general for wooden boats), Cockburn
and Frank concluded that a geometric pattern
is an appropriate pattern for surviving-asset ageprice profiles, but with proper accounting for
retirements as a component of economic depreciation, the pattern of economic depreciation is
clearly not geometric. Neither study considered
or tested for other commonly used depreciation patterns, such as patterns arising from
straight-line or one-hoss-shay efficiency patterns.
Beidleman (1976) and Oliner (1996) estimated
depreciation for machine tools or assets sold by
machine-tool builders. Beidleman's study of sales
by machine-tool builders, which are primarily
machine tools, concluded that a negative exponential function was best able to explain assetvalue variation in the majority of cases.31 This
supports the assumption of a geometric depreciation pattern. Beidleman tested linear, exponential, reciprocal, polynomial, and parabolic functions as possible alternativeSc Oliner concluded
that when used-machine-tool prices are adjusted
31. A negative exponential function estimates a geometric rate of
depreciation.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
for retirements, the pattern of depreciation is
not geometric. However, based on the evidence
from machine tools, actual depreciation for metalworking machinery is more rapid during the
early years and the pattern more accelerated than
BEA formerly had assumed.
Two studies—Chinloy (1977) and Malpezzi,
Ozanne, and Thibodeau (1987)—looked at residential real estate and one study—Taubman and
Rasche (1969)—looked at commercial real estate.
The Chinloy study of sale prices for residential
real estate concluded that the hypothesis of a
geometric rate of depreciation could not be rejected. The Malpezzi-Ozanne-Thibodeau study
on the other hand concluded that the decline in
the value of owner-occupied housing with age
occurs at an increasing, not a constant, rate but
that rents for residential real estate decline with
age of the property at a nearly constant or geometric rate. The Taubman-Rasche study of office
buildings, in contrast to most other studies of
depreciation, concluded that depreciation occurs
at a rate slower than straight-line and, in fact,
that a depreciation pattern arising from a onehoss-shay efficiency pattern is a more appropriate
pattern. This result may be due to the existence of relatively long-term, fixed-price leases for
office buildings,32
Three studies measure depreciation of computers or computer peripheral equipment—two
by Oliner (1992, 1993) and one by Jorgenson
and Stiroh (1994). All three studies assume
that the efficiency of assets in this category is
constant over time or best described by a onehoss-shay pattern, but Oliner includes a measure
of partial depreciation. Oliner defines partial depreciation as the effect of age on price that is
not captured by a hedonic equation and that is
unmeasured, because researchers are unable to
identify all relevant characteristics. The pattern
of partial depreciation appears to be approximately geometric for all the computer peripheral
equipment studied, except for disk drives. The
pattern of partial depreciation for mainframe
computers was decidedly not geometric, because
the values of mainframes did not always consistently decline with age. The issue of the
appropriate measure of depreciation for computers will be discussed in the section "The New BEA
Depreciation Estimates/'
Shriver's study of machinery and equipment
(1988) concluded that used-asset values decline
32. Leases are payments for office building services, most likely reflecting
productive capacity (see footnote 30), not the present value of future (postlease) declines in efficiency.




at a rate that is faster than straight-line depreciation but slower than double-declining-balance
depreciation.
The Office of Tax Analysis study of scientific
instruments (1990) did not report any attempts to
determine the general shape of the depreciation
pattern. However, the age-value profile appears
to approximate a geometric pattern, even after
adjusting for retirements.
Other research
The major approaches used in nonprice-based
research on depreciation include a retirement approach, an investment approach, a polynomial
benchmark approach, and a factor-demand, or
production-model, approach. In addition, there
are a number of studies whose primary emphasis is on the estimation of retirement patterns or
useful lives.
With a retirement approach, retirements are
estimated. These retirements are then applied
to an assumed depreciation pattern to derive
an estimate of actual depreciation. Former BEA
methodology is an example of such an approach, modified with adjustments to reflect
natural disasters. Retirements depended upon
service lives and the assumed Winfrey distribution of retirements around the mean retirement
age. The pattern of depreciation was assumed to
be straight-Knee
With an investment approach, an investment
model is used to estimate depreciation or the
pattern of depreciation. Robert Coen (1975,
1980) used a neoclassical investment model to
determine which of 4 possible loss-of-efficiency
patterns—one-hoss-shay, straight-line, geometric, or sum-of-the-years'-digits—best explained
investment flows into 21 manufacturing industries. A one-hoss-shay loss-of-efficiency pattern
translates into a depreciation pattern that is less
accelerated than straight-line; the other three patterns translate into depreciation patterns that are
convex, or bowed towards the origin. For equipment, the best results obtained were from the
following patterns: A geometric pattern in 11 industries, a straight-line pattern in 7 cases, and
a sum-of-years'-digits in 3 cases. For structures,
the best results obtained were from the following patterns: A geometric pattern in 11 industries,
a straight-line pattern in 5 industries, a sum-ofyears'-digits in 3 industries, and a one-hoss-shay
pattern in 2 industries. Coen (1980, 125) concludes "that something approximating geometric
decay rather than straight-line loss of efficiency
is typical of capital used in manufacturing."

The polynomial benchmark approach begins with the perpetual inventory method of
estimating capital stock:

studies. Later, under the auspices of the Office
of Tax Analysis, a used-asset-price approach was
employed. These studies, listed in table 2, are
discussed in the previous section.

where K t is capital stock, It is gross investment,
and 5 is the constant rate of depreciation under
a geometric assumption. By repetitively substituting this expression for prior periods' capital
stock, an expression is derived that depends only
on gross investment, 5, and the initial or benchmark capital stock and the final capital stock,
Kt. A parametric estimate for 8 can then be
determined with an econometric model of investment and capital stock. These studies routinely
assume that the pattern of depreciation is geometric. They do not address the question of
an appropriate pattern for depreciation, only the
appropriate geometric rate.
The factor-demand, or production-model, approach estimates a rate of depreciation affecting
capital entering into the demand for factors or
the production function directly. Nadiri and
Prucha (1996) looked at the demands for labor
and materials in the manufacturing sector that
depend on the level of output and the capital
stock of research and development (R&D) and
other types of capital. These two factor-demand
equations plus the perpetual inventory equations
for R&D and other types of capital are used in
a system of equations to estimate the geometric
rate of depreciation for R&D and other types of
capital. Doms (1996) substituted an investment
stream into a value-added production function
for a group of steel plants to estimate the efficiency pattern of assets. He estimated three
different efficiency schedules—one assuming a
geometric pattern, one using a Box-Cox model,
and one using a polynomial model. Even though
the Box-Cox and polynomial models can exhibit
other than a geometric pattern of depreciation,
in both cases the best model fits were obtained
from geometric-like patterns.
There were a number of studies related to
depreciation undertaken by the Treasury Department.33 Forty-six studies of survival probabilities
were undertaken by the Office of Industrial Economics over the 1971 to 1981 period. Of these
studies, 27 provide information on useful lives.
These studies provide estimates of the actual retention periods for the assets covered. It is
possible that more information from these studies could be incorporated into other depreciation

The New BEA Depreciation Estimates

33. See Brazell, Dworin, and Walsh (1989) for a summary of 27 of these
studies.

Empirical basis for the new BEA methodology: A
summary
The largest and most complete studies of depreciation are those of Hulten and Wykoff and
Koumanakos and Hwang, followed by that of
Coen. Hulten and Wykoff (i98ia, i98ib) and
Koumanakos and Hwang (1988) concluded that
the pattern of geometric depreciation is approximately geometric. Coen (1975) concluded that
a geometric pattern provided the best fit in the
majority of manufacturing industries studied. In
addition, he concluded that a convex pattern (geometric being a special case) provided the best
fit for all manufacturing industries for equipment and all but two manufacturing industries
for structures.
The results of the other depreciation studies
based on used-asset prices in table 2 in general
support an accelerated pattern of depreciation.
Most conclude that a geometric pattern is preferred, none determine that overall a straight-line
pattern is the best choice, and with the exception of computers, only a few maintain that some
other pattern is the appropriate pattern.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) uses a hyperbolic efficiency function that is concave, or
bowed away from the origin, rather than a geometric efficiency function that is convex, or
bowed towards the origin (Harper 1982; Gullickson and Harper 1987; BLS 1983, n.d.).34 BLS
tested their hyperbolic efficiency function with
the Hulten-Wykoff Box-Cox estimated age-price
functions by constructing the age-price function
corresponding to their hyperbolic efficiency function. BLS found there was no statistically significant difference between the geometric and their
hyperbolic form.35 However, the maintained hypothesis of a hyperbolic age-price function that
34. The hyperbolic function is a general function whose special cases include the one-hoss-shay and straight-line cases. A hyperbolic function can
also approximate a geometric function. The particular form of the hyperbolic
function used by BLS is concave, being intermediate between one-hoss-shay
and straight-line.
35. Because both the geometric and the hyperbolic efficiency functions
have an age-price counterpart that is convex, or bowed towards the origin,
the likelihood of there being no statistical difference between the age-price
functions is increased. Note that under a geometric assumption, the efficiency
function and the age-price function are identical and bowed towards the
origin.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

corresponds to a concave hyperbolic efficiencyfunction was rejected,36
One disadvantage of the hyperbolic function
is that age-price functions estimated from a hyperbolic function (or alternatively, hyperbolic
functions estimated from an age-price function)
require an assumption to be made about a real
discount rate. The geometric function does not
require such an assumption.
Geometric depreciation as the default
There are several arguments for the adoption of
a geometric pattern for depreciation as the default.37 First, the empirical evidence is that a
geometric depreciation pattern is a better approximation to reality than a straight-line pattern
and is at least as good as any other pattern.
Second, estimates of an appropriate default geometric rate of depreciation are readily available
from Hulten and Wykoff (i98ia, 1981!)). Third,
the geometric pattern is a simple default rule. Finally, the geometric pattern is one that can readily
be used if and when a balance sheet or a production account is implemented by BEA, thereby
minimizing future potential revisions.38
BEA default geometric-depreciation rates
The new BEA rates of economic depreciation are
listed in table 3« All assets except for computers and computer peripherals, nuclear fuel, autos,
and missiles are depreciated at a geometric rate.
These rates are derived from the HultenWykoff estimates. If new estimates of service
lives have become available since the original
Hulten-Wykoff research (Hulten and Wykoff
1981!); Wykoff and Hulten 1979), the geometric
rate, <5, is recalculated from the earlier formula
by substituting in the new service life:
^old
T

•* new

36. As noted earlier in "Specifics of Hulten-Wykoff methodology," Hulten
and Wykoff tested three age-price functions—one-hoss-shay, straight-line,
and geometric. In each case, the maintained hypothesis was rejected.
37. As previously noted, a geometric pattern of depreciation will be used
for all assets except for computers and computer peripherals, missiles, nuclear
fuel, arid autos.
38. This article contains only a brief explanation of this theoretical point.
The most complete explanation is presented in Triplett (1997), but the reader
should also refer to Jorgenson (1974,1996). Triplett (1997, 31) discusses "the
distinctions between the capital data needed for production analysis .... and
the capital data needed for income and wealth accounting," concluding that
"the crucial distinctions are between the wealth capital stock and the productive capital stock and between two related yet different declines in a cohort
of capital goods as the cohort is employed in production—deterioration, the
decline in productiveness or efficiency of the cohort, and depreciation, the
decline in the cohort's value." Replacement is the term used by Jorgenson to
describe the investment necessary to offset the effects of what Triplett calls
deterioration. In general, only when depreciation is geometric is the value
of replacements equal to depreciation. This is because under a geometric
assumption, the efficiency function and the age-price function are identical.

or equivalently,
= ( Told / Tliew) 5old •

Similarly, whenever BEA uses different service
lives for different time periods, the geometric rate
of depreciation, 5, varies and is recalculated with
the above formula.
The formula above presumes that the decliningbalance rate R is not changing. Recall the
question previously discussed of whether ageprice profiles or retirement patterns have been
changing over time. In addition, since T's or
service lives were used to center the retirement
distribution when the Hulten-Wykoff used-asset
prices were adjusted to correct for censoredsample bias, it presumes that a "re-centering" on
the new service life would not significantly affect
the estimate offl.39
Table 3 documents how the geometric rates of
depreciation were calculated on the basis of the
declining-balance rate and the service life of the
asset as well as indicating the Hulten-Wykoff asset type. Hulten and Wykoff classified assets
into one of three types—A, B or C (Hulten and
Wykoff ipSib; Wykoff and Hulten 1979). Hulten and Wykoff had extensive data on type A
assets. These data were used to estimate geometric rates of depreciation. For type B assets,
there were some existing studies on depreciation,
or some data existed. Hulten and Wykoff concluded that defensible estimates of the rate of
geometric depreciation could not be generated
based solely on the data. They used the results
of empirical research by others—the treatment
of depreciation by BEA, Dale Jorgenson, BLS, and
Jack Faucett Associates (1973) —and their own
judgement to determine the geometric rate of depreciation for type B assets on a case by case basis.
For type C assets, Hulten and Wykoff had no data
whatsoever. The average best-guess-assumption
rates of declining-balance and service lives were
used to calculate the geometric rate of depreciation as described in "Specifics of Hulten-Wykoff
methodology" (Wykoff and Hulten 1979, 30-38).
Computers and computer peripherals, nuclear
fuel, autos, and missiles
An alternative approach to estimating depreciation is used when detailed data are currently
available or when a geometric pattern seems
inappropriate.
For computers and computer peripherals,
Oliner's studies provide a solid base for
39. This is one of the issues discussed in Hulten and Wykoff (1996).

estimating depreciation. His depreciation estimates are therefore used. For personal computers, a category of computers for which there are
no studies of depreciation, the depreciation-rate
estimate is proxied from a computer category he
did study (Oliner 1992,1993).
BEA has information on automobiles from
which it has determined depreciation figures
for both private nonresidential equipment and
consumer durable autos.
For nuclear fuel, a geometric pattern does not
seem appropriate. Nuclear fuel is assumed to depreciate at a straight-line rate, not a geometric
rate, to reflect the pattern of rotation and replacement of nuclear fuel in the core. A Winfrey 8-3
pattern is used to determine retirements,,40
BEA has decided to continue to use a straightline pattern of depreciation and Winfrey retire-

ment patterns for missiles, because of the special
characteristics of this category of assets.

Conclusion
The improvement in the methodology used in
figuring depreciation is justified on empirical and
theoretical grounds. The recent article "Improved Estimates of Fixed Reproducible Tangible
Wealth, 1929-95" in the SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS (Katz and Herman 1997) presents and
discusses the new capital stock estimates. Results
of current and future research can be used to
refine and modify the rates listed in table 3, to
further question the specific form of the depreciation profile, to adjust for quality differences
across vintages, and to update service lives.

management is Robert Cochran and Nicholas Tsoulfanidis, The Nuclear Fuel

Society, 1990),

1. This column refers to Hulten-Wykoff categories (Hulten and Wykoff 1981b; Wykoff and Hulten 1979). Type
A assets are types of assets for which Hulten and Wykoff specifically estimated age-price profiles. Type B assets
are those for which they used empirical research by others and their judgement to estimate the depreciation rate.
Type C assets are assets for which they estimated an average declining-balance rate from data for all type A and
Bassets.
2. The depreciation rate for this type of asset is not used for computers and peripheral equipment Depreciation
rates for these assets are taken from Oliner as described in the text.
3. The declining-balance rate is from the Hulten-Wykoff communications equipment aggregate.
4. Instruments and other private nonresidential equipment, called producer durable equipment by Hulten-Wykoff,
are classified by them as type C but appear to be type B as they were given a declining-balance rate of 1.6203.
5. The declining-balance rate is from the Hulten-Wykoff other producer durable equipment aggregate.
6. The depreciation rates for nuclear fuel are based on a straight-line rate pattern and a Winfrey retirement pattern.
7. The declining-balance rate is from the Hulten-Wykoff fabricated metal products aggregate.
8. The declining-balance rate is from the Hulten-Wykoff engines and turbines aggregate.
9. The depreciation rate and service life listed apply to nonmanufacturing industries; the service lives and depredation rates used for manufacturing industries differ by industry. The Hulten-Wykoff type of asset listed applies to
all industries.
11. Depreciation rates for autos are derived from a on new- and used-auto prices.
12. The declining-balance rate is from the Hultenff furniture and fixtures aggregate.
13. The declining-balance rate is from the Hulten-!
ff tractors aggregate,

20. The declining-balance rate is set to the Hi
private nonresidential structures default,
21. The declining-balance rate is from the Hul
mining exploration, shafts, and wells aggregate,
22. The declining-balance rate is from the H
ff other private nonresidential structures aggregate, which
consists of streets, dams and reservoirs, and sewer
water facilities.
23. The declining-balance rate is set to the Hulten-Wykoff producer durable equipment default.
24. For all consumer durables except for motor vehicles and parts and computing equipment, the declining-balance rate is set to the Hulten-Wykoff producer durable equipment default.
25. The corresponding Hulten-Wykoff consumer durables category is other.
26. Depreciation rates for computers and peripheral equipment are taken from Oliner as described in the text
of the article. The information listed applies to video and audio products and musical instruments. The corresponding
Hulten-Wykoff aggregate is radio and television receivers, recorders, and musical instruments. Radio and television
receivers, recorders, and musical instruments are classified by Hulten-Wykoff as type B but are indistinguishable
from type C as their declining-balance rate is 1.65.
27. The corresponding Hulten-Wykoff consumer durables category is wheel goods, durable toys, sports equipment.
28. The declining-balance rate is from the Hulten-Wykoff motor vehicles and parts aggregate. The declining-balance rate for this category is calculated under the assumption that the service life for consumer durables motor
vehicles and parts is equal to the service life for producer durable equipment autos previously used by BEA.
29. For most government nonresidential equipment, the declining-balance rate is set to the Hulten-Wykoff producer
durable equipment default. Where possible, the rate is set equal to the rate used for comparable equipment in
the private sector.
30. Missiles are depreciated using straight-line patterns of depreciation and a Winfrey retirement pattern.
31. Depreciation rates for government-owned autos are derived from data on autos that are privately owned.
32. Depreciation rates for these assets are taken from Oliner as described in the text of the article.
33. For all government nonresidential structures, the declining-balance rate is set to the Hulten-Wykoff private
nonresidential structures default

-$870.5 billion with direct investment
at
the current cost of tangible assets, and it was
-$831.3 billion with direct investment valued at
the current stock-market value of owners' equity
(table A, chart i). For both measures, the value
of foreign assets in the United States continued to
exceed the value of U.S. assets abroad. However,
for the direct investment component of the position valued on either basis, U.S. assets abroad
continue to exceed foreign assets in the United
States,
The net position on both bases became more
negative as a result of large net capital inflows
to the United States in 1996; valuation changes
nearly offset each other (table B). A negative adjustment for net exchange rate changes mainly
represented translation losses in U.S. assets denominated in Western European currencies and
the Japanese yen, as these currencies declined
against the U.S. dollar. A positive price change
reflected a larger price appreciation in U.S. portfolio and direct investments in foreign stocks

than in corresponding foreign investments in
U.S. stocks. Stock prices in all the major world
markets except Japan's advanced strongly.
In 1996, U.S. assets abroad increased strongly,
as large private capital outflows were augmented
by substantial price appreciation in foreign

stocks. U.S. banks and nonbanking concerns lent
heavily to overseas banks and international bond
mutual fiinds, especially during a surge in overseas demand for dollar loans in the second half
of the year. U.S. direct investment abroad on
a current-cost basis was boosted by record capital outflows, including record reinvested earnings
from widespread growth in overseas affiliates'
earnings. On a market-value basis, the directinvestment increase was augmented by a large
increase in owners' equity as a result of widespread advances in overseas stock prices; partly
offsetting were currency translation losses, primarily in European affiliates. The market value
of ILS, portfolio holdings of foreign securities
rose not only because of the advance in stock
prices overseas, but also because of strong U.S,
net purchases of foreign stocks and bonds.
Foreign assets in the United States increased
mainly as a result of record capital inflows
that included large net foreign purchases of
UoS. Treasury, corporate, and federally-sponsored
agency bonds, a large increase in foreign direct investment, and a large increase in foreign official assets. Foreign demand for U.S.
bonds accelerated through the year; demand

July 1997

was buoyed by a substantial widening in the
differential between U.S. and foreign long-term
interest rates, a second-half recovery in U.S.
bond prices, and widespread strength of the
U.S. dollar in exchange markets throughout the
year. The foreign direct investment buildup reflected continued growth in foreign acquisitions
of U.S0 businesses and record reinvested earnings,
as the sustained U.S0 economic growth further
strengthened affiliates' earnings. On a marketvalue basis, the direct-investment buildup also
reflected the strong rise in U.S. stock prices.
Foreign portfolio holdings of U.S. stocks also
benefited from the rising U.S. stock market.
These substantial increases in foreign private assets in the United States were augmented for
the second straight year by a record buildup of
foreign official assets, largely of U.S. Treasury
securities.
This article presents the major changes in U.S.
assets abroad and in foreign assets in the United
States, including direct investment valued both
at current cost and at market value. Tables i,
2, and 3 at the end of the article present detailed estimates of the yearend position, showing
a breakdown of the changes by account from 1995

Data Improvements
As is customary each July, the estimates of the U.S. international
investment position incorporate new source data and methodological improvements that relate to the changes incorporated in the
annual revision of the U.S. international transactions accounts. This
year, the following changes are introduced:
• The estimates of U.S. holdings of foreign bonds and stocks are
revised to incorporate the results of the U.S. Treasury Department's
new benchmark survey of U.S. portfolio investment abroad as of
March 1994. This survey is the first such survey in more than 50
years, and its completion represents a major milestone in the multiyear program for statistical improvement developed jointly by BEA,
the Treasury Department, and the Federal Reserve Board.
Based on the survey results, BEA'S previous estimates of holdings
of foreign securities at yearend 1993 are raised by $302.9 billion,
to $853.6 billion. Holdings of foreign stocks are raised by $241.1
billion, to $543.9 billion: The understatement was widespread and
was especially large for British stocks; the only overstatement was in
Asian stocks other than Japanese stocks. Holdings of foreign bonds
increased $62.0 billion, to $309.7 billion: The understatement was
widespread; the only overstatement was in Canadian bonds.
• Estimates of foreign holdings of U.S. currency appear for the
first time in the international position accounts of the United States.
With this addition, BEA closes what had grown into a sizable gap in
coverage in the international investment position and international
transactions accounts. Currency flows do not appear in the international accounts of most countries because of the difficulties of
accurate measurement. The estimates were developed by the Federal
Reserve Board.




The new estimates added $209.6 billion to foreign assets in the
United States. These holdings of U.S. currency are classified as unallocated in the area breakdown in table 2, in as much as no country
detail is available.
• Estimates of the foreign direct investment position in the United
States for 1992 (on both the current-cost and market-value bases)
have been revised to incorporate data collected in BEA'S 1992 benchmark survey of foreign direct investment in the United States. For
years after 1992, the estimates have been revised by extrapolating the
1992 universe data on the basis of data collected in BEA'S quarterly
sample surveys for 1993-96 and by incorporating new or adjusted
data from those surveys.
For yearend 1992, the incorporation of the data from the benchmark survey increased the position $1.1 billion on the current-cost
basis and $2.0 billion on the market-value basis. No area breakdown
for either basis is available; however, for the position at historical
cost, small upward revisions were made to investments by Latin
America and the Middle East, and small downward revisions were
made to investments by the United Kingdom and Japan.
• Currency translation gains and losses have been removed
from certain banking transactions in the international transactions
accounts to provide a more accurate measure of U.S. banks' international activity; they are now classified more appropriately as
valuation adjustments in the investment position accounts.
For a further explanation of these changes, see "U.S. International
Transactions, Revised Estimates for 1974-96" in this issue.

Bank claims
U.S. banks' claims increased $96.0 billion, to
$864.1 billion, in 1996 (table C). The increase in
claims was especially strong in the second half of
the year, reflecting a surge in demand for dollar credits in the overseas interbank market and
the step-up in foreign demand for U.S. securities,.
Most of the increase was accounted for by claims
payable in dollars, which were augmented by a
large increase in U.S. banks' customers' claims.
U.S. banks' own claims payable in dollars increased $68.3 billion, to $600.7 billion, mostly
reflecting an increase in claims on their own
foreign offices and unaffiliated banks. Interbank lending was particularly strong to banks in
Europe, where in the second half of the year,
general credit demands were swelled by financing demands for mergers and acquisitions and for
purchases of U.S. securities. Lending to banks
in Canada and in Asia excluding Japan occurred
mostly in the first half of the year. Stepped-up
bank lending to Latin America reflected the improved credit standing of several countries. A
substantial increase in claims on the Caribbean
reflected increased lending to international bond
mutual funds by U.S. securities dealers during
the bond rally in the fourth quarter. Claims on
Japan, though large, changed little, as moderate economic activity and the continued financial
difficulties of Japanese banks limited demand.
U.S. banks' customers' claims payable in dollars increased $26.8 billion, to $182.3 billion, as
the customers' deposits at foreign banks increased
to accommodate the rising overseas demand for
dollar loans. In addition, customers continued

Between yearend 1995 and yearend 1996, U.S.
holdings of foreign securities increased $219.1 billion, to $1,273.4 billion, as a result of strong net
purchases and of large, widespread price appreciation in foreign stocks (table D) 0 Partly offsetting
these increases were exchange rate losses, mostly
in securities denominated in Continental European currencies and the Japanese yen. These
estimates incorporate the results of the new
U.S. Treasury Department's Benchmark Survey
of U.S. Ownership of Foreign Long-term Securities as of March 31, 1994.1 Based on this survey,

near-record US, net purchases of $58.8 billion
were augmented by $117.8 billion in price appreciation (table F). During the year, stock prices in
most foreign markets rose strongly in response
to widespread economic growth and to declining
short-term interest rates. Additional factors contributing to the increase in the U.S. position in
foreign stocks were U.S. investor participation in
the privatization issues of several countries, the
recovery of stock prices in emerging countries,
and the efforts of U.S. institutional investors to
further diversify their portfolio investments. Investments, mostly in Japanese stocks, slowed in
the second half of the year.
• Holdings of European stocks increased 30
percent, primarily as a result of U.S» net
purchases of $31.2 billion and price appreciation of $75.5 billion. Exchange rate changes
were offsetting: Substantial appreciation in
holdings of British stocks due to the rise of
the pound over the U.S. dollar was offset
by the effects of depreciation in the holdings of Continental European stocks as a
result of the depreciation of these currencies against the dollar. U.S. purchases of
stocks were strongest from Britain, Germany,
France, Switzerland, and Italy, where market
prices advanced 6 to 26 percent (according
to Morgan Stanley's international stock market indexes). U.S. purchases were spurred by
merger and acquisition activity, the prospects
of the European monetary union, and strong
corporate profits.
• Holdings of Japanese stocks, which account
for 14 percent of total U.S. holdings of foreign stocks, declined $2.1 billion mostly as a
result of the depreciation of the Japanese yen
against the U.S. dollar. Net purchases of $9.6
billion, mostly in the first half of the year

when Japanese stock prices rose, partly offset
the exchange rate depreciation. In the second
half, stock prices and U.S. purchases fell, reflecting growing concerns about the strength
and sustainability of Japan's economic recovery and the continuing problems in its
finance industry.
» Holdings of Canadian stocks increased $19.7
billion, or 42 percent. The increase consisted of $14.5 billion in price appreciation,
$3.5 billion in net purchases, and $1.7 billion
in exchange rate appreciation. Market prices
in Canada rose 30 percent.
• Holdings of other countries' stocks, mostly
emerging countries' stocks, increased as stock
prices and investor confidence recovered
from concerns arising from the Mexican financial crisis in 1994. Holdings of Latin
American stocks increased $8.7 billion, reflecting $2.0 billion in price appreciation,
$3.6 billion in net purchases, and $3.1 billion in exchange rate appreciation. U.S.
investments were boosted by privatization
sales in Brazil. All other stock holdings increased $26.4 billion in price appreciation,
$5.4 billion in exchange rate appreciation,
and $10.9 billion in net purchases. Most
of these increases occurred in the stocks of
Asian emerging countries, particularly those
of Hong Kong where prices advanced 30
percent.
U.S. holdings of foreign bonds increased $42.7
billion, to $398.0 billion, reflecting $49.4 billion
in net purchases that was partly offset by $7.5 billion in exchange rate depreciation of European
and Japanese bonds (table G). U.S. institutional
investors in search of high-yielding assets absorbed a large volume of newly issued foreign
dollar bonds in the U.S. market, including many
noninvestment grade foreign issues. Foreign

new issues, at $52.4 billion, approached the 1993
record. Emerging countries in Latin America and
Asia accounted for over 60 percent of the new
issues, more than double their new issues in 1995.
Europeans and Canadians continued as large
borrowers, though not as large as in 1995, as longterm interest-rate differentials against borrowing
dollars increased in most of these countries. Net
U.S. trading in other foreign bonds amounted to
net sales of $3.0 billion. The widening interestrate differential in favor of U.S, bonds slowed
U.S. diversification into most foreign bonds, with
the notable exception of British gilt-edged bonds.
Net U.S. purchases from the United Kingdom became large in the second half of the year, when
U.S. interest rates fell more than British rates.
U.S. direct investment abroad and other private
assets
U.S. direct investment abroad at current cost increased $86.5 billion, to $970.8 billion; at market
value, it increased $222.6 billion, to $1,534.6 billion (table H). Net capital outflows exceeded the
strong outflows of 1995. By account, reinvested
earnings increased to a record high, reflecting
record profits of foreign affiliates and a continued high rate of reinvestment; net equity outflows
slowed but remained strong due to numerous
mergers and acquisitions; and net intercompany
debt shifted to an outflow, as U.S.-parent firms
cut back borrowing from their finance affiliates
overseas. The strong outflows reflected widespread economic growth, especially in Europe
and emerging Asian countries, and economic
recovery in several Latin American countries.
At current cost, the direct investment position
increased mostly as a result of capital outflows;
valuation adjustments were small and offsetting.
At market value, the increase in the position due
to capital outflows was augmented by a substantial increase in U.S. owners' equity as a result
of the worldwide rise in stock prices. In Europe, where 50 percent of U.S. investments are
located, the rise in stock prices averaged 20 perTable H.-Changes in U.S. Direct Investment Abroad, 1996

cent, ranging from 6 percent in Italy to 40 percent
in Sweden (according to Morgan Stanley's international indexes); in several of the emerging
countries, stock prices recovered substantially.
These increases were partly offset by negative
exchange rate changes, mostly in Continental
Europe.
U.S. claims on unaffiliated foreigners reported
by U.S. nonbanking concerns increased $61.1 billion, to $369.1 billion, as these U.S. firms sharply
accelerated their overseas deposits in the second
half of the year. The acceleration, mostly in dollar deposits in European and Caribbean banks,
represented funding to meet the surge in overseas
demand for bank credit.
17.S. official reserve assets and other U.S.
Government assets
U.S. official reserve assets declined $15.3 billion, to $160.7 billion. Foreign-currency holdings
decreased $10.8 billion; holdings of pesos declined as Mexico repaid $8.3 billion in short-term
and medium-term swap arrangements with U.S.
authorities, and holdings of Japanese yen and
German marks decreased as these currencies
depreciated against the dollar.
Other U.S. Government assets increased $0.7
billion, to $82.6 billion; long-term credits
extended exceeded repayments.

Changes in Foreign Assets
in the United States
Foreign official assets
Foreign official assets in the United States increased $126.7 billion, to $805.1 billion; record
capital inflows accounted for most of the increase. These inflows represented acquisitions
of dollars through exchange market intervention
and investment of the unused proceeds of funds
borrowed by governments in the international
markets during the year. Dollar placements were
mainly in U.S. Treasury securities: Industrial
countries accounted for $65.5 billion, and developing countries, mainly in Latin America and
Asia, for $56.9 billion.

Bank liabilities
U.S. banks' liabilities to private foreigners and
international financial institutions increased $6.5
billion, to $819.9 billion, reflecting a further
reduction in U.S. banks' use of foreign funds

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
(table I). U.S. banks borrowed little from overseas until a surge in domestic and foreign demand for bank credit late in the year. Through
much of the year, the growth in domestic deposits
provided banks with ample funding and enabled banks to pay down their liability positions
with their own foreign offices. Late in the year,
banks in the United States, especially foreignowned banks, financed strong growth in loans by
supplementing domestic funds with large-scale
borrowing from their overseas offices. Japaneseowned banks in the United States, which made
large loan repayments, were the exception.
Foreign-owned banks in the United States,
which accounted for much of the increase in interbank liabilities, borrowed heavily from their
home offices in Europe and Canada and affiliated offices in the Caribbean, particularly in the
fourth quarter, to fund their heavy domestic and
foreign lending. This borrowing was partly offset by Japanese banks' large net repayments to
their offices abroad throughout much of the year.
U.So-owned banks also borrowed in the fourth
quarter, mostly from their own foreign offices in
the United Kingdom and the Caribbean; however, this borrowing was not enough to keep net
repayments to those offices earlier in the year
from resulting in a decline in their interbank
liabilities.
Liabilities to nonbank foreigners increased $14.5
billion, to $116.5 billion, reflecting a widening of
the short-term interest-rate differentials that favored dollar deposits and the strong exchange
value of the dollar in the second half of the
year. Large inflows came from the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and international financial
institutions.
U.S. banks' foreign-currency liabilities declined
$5.9 billion, to $103.8 billion, mostly because
of repayments to Western Europe and Japan.
This cutback in funding coincided with a sharp
reduction in foreign-currency lending by U.S.
banks.
Custody liabilities reported by U.S. banks increased $2.7 billion, to $36.6 billion. Repayments
by U.S. nonbank customers early in the year were

more than offset by a surge in their borrowing
in the second half, mainly from banks in the
Caribbean and the United Kingdom.
U.S. Treasury securities
Foreign holdings of U.S. Treasury securities by
both private foreigners and international financial institutions increased $141.2 billion, to $530.6
billion (table J). Net purchases of U.S. Treasury bonds reached a record that was two-thirds
higher than the previous record in 1995. A negative price adjustment reflected a drop in bond
prices in the first half of the year that was not fully
offset by a recovery in prices in the second half.
Foreign purchases of Treasury bonds accelerated
throughout the year, as the U.S. interest-rate
differential in favor of Treasury bonds widened
substantially and as the dollar remained strong.
The U.S.-Japanese long-term interest-rate differential reached a j-year high of over 400 basis
points, which induced heavy demand from Japan
and other countries in Asia. Purchases from the
United Kingdom and international bond funds
in the Caribbean were especially strong during
the second half, when U.S. bond prices rallied.
By country, Japan and the United Kingdom are
the largest investors in foreign official and private
holdings of U.S. Treasury securities (table K).
U.S. currency
Foreign holdings of U.S. currency increased $17.3
billion, to $209.6 billion, or 53 percent of U.S.
currency outstanding at yearend 1996. These
newly introduced estimates of foreign holdings
indicate that overseas demand for U.S. currency has strengthened considerably in the 1990*8,

mostly as a result of economic and political upheavals in several areas. No country detail of
these currency holdings is available.2
Other U.S. securities
Foreign holdings of U.S. securities, other than
U.S. Treasury securities, increased $226.0 billion, to $1,225.5 billion. The increase reflected
the record net purchases of U.S. corporate and
agency bonds and the large price appreciation
of U.S. stocks (table L). Despite the swing in
U.S. long-term interest rates—rising steeply early
in the year and falling in the second half—the
change in the differential against most major foreign bond markets increased in favor of U.S.
investments.
This yield advantage was augmented by the dollars' strength against most
major currencies during the year.
Foreign holdings of U.S. bonds increased $120.0
billion, to $654.1 billion, as foreign buying outpaced the record buying in 1995 by 50 percent.
In response to this strong foreign demand, U.S.
corporations issued a near-record $53.4 billion in
new bonds overseas; issues of fixed-rate bonds
slowed, but issues of floating-rate bonds and of
asset-backed bonds accelerated. Foreigners accelerated investments in U.S. federally-sponsored
agency bonds to a record $44.6 billion; some of
these bonds were newly issued abroad by U.S.
corporations that have sought to diversify their
sources of funds in the past 2 years. Foreign
investments in other outstanding U.S. corporate
bonds also accelerated to $23.2 billion, following
small net sales in the past 2 years.
Foreign holdings of U.S. stocks increased $105.9
billion, to $571.3 billion, reflecting $93.3 billion in
price appreciation and $12.6 billion in net foreign
purchases. Foreign purchases in the last 2 years
have been moderate in comparison with the very
strong rises in U.S. stock market prices—34 percent in 1995 and 20 percent in 1996 (according
to Standard and Poor's combined index of 500
2. For more information about the new estimates, see "U.S. International
Transactions, Revised Estimates for 1974-96 " page 43.

stocks). Notwithstanding the moderate pace of
foreigners' purchases in those 2 years, the gains
in foreign holdings were considerable, adding
over 60 percent to the value of their investments.
Western Europeans, who accounted for half of
the 1996 net purchases, slowed their purchases
from those in 1995. Net purchases by financial
centers in the Caribbean and in Asia excluding
Japan also slowed.
Foreign direct investment in the United States
and other liabilities
Foreign direct investment in the United States at
current cost increased $74.6 billion, to $729.1 billion; at market value, it increased $221.7 billion,
to $1,253.6 billion (table M). At current cost, net
capital inflows more than accounted for the total change. At market value, capital inflows were
augmented by substantial price appreciation in
owners5 equity as a result of the steep rise in U.S.
stock prices. These estimates incorporate the results of BEA'S 1992 benchmark survey of foreign
direct investment in the United States.3 In 1996,
net capital inflows reached a record high. By account, net equity inflows approached their 1990
peak, reflecting continued growth in acquisitions
of U.S. businesses, and record reinvested earnings
reflected the favorable effect on U.S. affiliates'
earnings of the sustained economic growth in the
United States; in contrast, net intercompany debt
inflows were slightly lower than in 1995.
Liabilities to unaffiliated foreigners reported by
U.S. nonbanking concerns increased $38.6 billion,
to $271.5 billion, principally reflecting U.S. corporations' borrowing from banks in the Caribbean
and the United Kingdom after midyear.

Direct Investment Positions for 1996
Country and Industry Detail
By Sylvia E. Bargas

HE DETAILED estimates by country and industry of the direct investment positions of
the United States, which are presented in this
article, are prepared only on the basis of historical cost; thus, these estimates reflect prices
at the time of investment rather than prices of
the current period.1 In contrast, the estimates
of the direct investment positions presented elsewhere in this issue are on a current-cost and a
market-value basis; those estimates are conceptually and analytically superior to the historical-cost
estimates, but they are available only at an aggregate level.2 For perspective, table i shows the
aggregate direct investment positions on all three
valuation bases.
On a historical-cost basis, the position for U.S.
direct investment abroad (USDIA) grew 11 percent
in 1996, and the position for foreign direct investment in the United States (FDIUS) grew 12
percent. The strong growth in both measures was
largely attributable to favorable economic con-

T

1. Historical cost is the basis used for valuation in company accounting
records in the United States, and it is the only basis on which companies
can report data in the direct investment surveys conducted by BEA. For consistency, the estimates of earnings and reinvested earnings used in analyzing
changes in the historical-cost positions are also on this basis and are not
adjusted to current cost; country and industry detail for these items, like the
positions, is not available with such an adjustment.

1996" in this issue.

ditions in the United States and in a number
of foreign countries. Robust earnings by affiliates generated readily available financing in the
form of reinvested earnings, and strong earnings
by parents reduced the need to draw funds from
affiliates and—particularly for FDIUS—provided
a source of funds for mergers and acquisitions.
In addition, USDIA was spurred by new investment opportunities abroad resulting from
privatizations of government-owned enterprises.
As in previous years, the largest component of
capital outflows for USDIA was reinvested earnings, which tend to be used mainly to finance
the ongoing operations of foreign affiliates.3 The
largest component of capital inflows for FDIUS
continued to be equity capital, which includes
capital contributions to existing U.S. affiliates and
funds used to acquire and establish new U.S.
affiliates.4 To some extent, this difference in composition reflects the greater average maturity of
foreign affiliates relative to U.S. affiliates and the
relatively greater role of acquisitions in recent
growth in FDIUS. Many foreign affiliates of U.S.
companies were acquired or established decades
ago and can now be sustained largely through
3. A foreign affiliate is a foreign business enterprise in which a single U.S.
investor owns at least 10 percent of the voting securities, or the equivalent.
4. A U.S. affiliate is a U.S. business enterprise in which a single foreign
investor owns at least 10 percent of the voting securities, or the equivalent.

the retention of their own earnings. In contrast,
U.S. affiliates of foreign companies tend to be of
more recent vintage and to rely more heavily on
contributions of equity capital from their foreign
parents to build their operations.
Benchmark revision of FDIUS estimates.—The estimates of the FDIUS position for 1992 have been
revised to incorporate data collected in BEA'S 1992
benchmark survey of foreign direct investment
in the United States, which covered the universe
of FDIUS. For years after 1992, the estimates have
been revised by extrapolating the 1992 universe
data on the basis of data collected in BEA'S quarterly sample survey and by incorporating new or
adjusted data from that survey. The revisions
for all of these years were small—i percent or
less for all countries and industries combined.
Previously, the estimates for 1992 forward were
extrapolated from the 1987 benchmark survey of
FDIUS. 5

U.S. Direct Investment Abroad
The U.S. direct investment position abroad valued at historical cost—the book value of U.S.
direct investors' equity in, and net outstanding
loans to, their foreign affiliates—was $796.5 billion at yearend 1996 (table 2 and chart i). The
largest positions by far remained those in the
United Kingdom ($142.6 billion, or 18 percent
of the total) and in Canada ($91.6 billion, or n
percent of the total) (table 3 and chart 2).
5. For additional information, see "U.S. International Transactions, Revised Estimates for 1974-96" in this issue. A more complete explanation of
these revisions will accompany the presentation of the detailed estimates of
the FDIUS position scheduled to be published in the September 1997 SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS.

July 1997 •

In 1996, the USDIA position increased $78.9 billion, or 11 percent, compared with an increase of
12 percent in 1995 and an average increase of 10
percent in 1982-94. The following table shows the
change in position in 1996 by the type of capital

6. Valuation adjustments to the historical-cost position are made to reflect differences between changes in the position, measured at book value,
and capital flows, measured at transactions value. Unlike the positions on a
current-cost and market-value basis, no adjustment is made to reflect changes
in the replacement cost of the tangible assets of affiliates or in the market
value of parent companies' equity in affiliates. (However, as explained below,
adjustments are made for realized capital gains and losses of affiliates, such
as gains or losses on partial sales of affiliate assets.)
Currency-translation adjustments to the position are made to reflect
changes in the exchange rates that are used to translate affiliates' foreigncurrency-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars. The precise
effects of currency fluctuations on translation adjustments depend on the
value and currency composition of affiliates' assets and liabilities. Depreciation of foreign currencies against the dollar usually results in negative
translation adjustments, because it tends to lower the dollar value of foreigncurrency-denominated net assets. Similarly, appreciation of foreign currencies
usually results in positive adjustments, because it tends to raise the dollar
value of foreign-currency-denominated net assets.
"Other" valuation adjustments includes adjustments for differences between the proceeds from the sale or liquidation of affiliates by U.S. parents
and the book values of the affiliates that are sold or liquidated, for differences
between the purchase prices and the book values of affiliates that are acquired
by U.S. parents, for writeoffs resulting from uncompensated expropriations
of affiliates, and for capital gains and losses. Capital gains and losses represent the revaluation of the assets of ongoing affiliates for reasons other than
exchange-rate changes, such as the partial sale of those assets for an amount
different from their historical cost.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Most—nearly two-thirds—of capital outflows
in 1996 were accounted for by reinvested earnings, which were up $3.2 billion from 1995. The
remainder were accounted for by net equity capital outflows, which were down $15.0 billion from
1995, and intercompany debt flows, which shifted
$12.2 billion, to outflows.
Reinvested earnings reflected record affiliate
profits and a continued high rate of reinvestment.
Affiliate profits in many countries were boosted
by the large capital flows that have expanded the
earnings base in recent years. In 1996, 60 percent
of total earnings were reinvested, slightly below
the 61-percent share of 1995 but well above the 36percent average of 1982-94. If past relationships
between growth in capital spending by affiliates
and growth in earnings held in 1996, it seems
likely that much of the reinvested earnings were
used to finance capacity expansion by existing
foreign affiliates.
The decrease in equity capital outflows was
primarily due to a sharp drop in equity capital increases, as a number of multibilliondollar mergers and acquisitions in 1995—
mainly in pharmaceuticals, but also in utilities
and telecommunications—were not matched by
similar-sized transactions in 1996. Also contributing to the decrease in outflows was a rise
in equity capital decreases (which are recorded
as U.S. capital inflows); these decreases, which
were concentrated in finance (except banking),
insurance, and real estate ("FIRE") and in petroCHART 2

leum, largely resulted from sales of affiliates by
U.S. direct investors.
Merger and acquisition activity by U.S. direct
investors, though lower than in 1995, occurred
in a number of industries, particularly "other
industries," metals, and FIRE. As in 1995, several of the transactions in "other industries" and
in FIRE involved acquisitions of energy providers
and telephone companies. These acquisitions—
in the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, and
Brazil—were made in response to opportunities
created by recent privatizations.
The shift to outflows in intercompany debt primarily reflected reduced borrowing by parents
from their affiliates in FIRE, particularly from affiliates in the United Kingdom, Bermuda, and
Japan.
Changes by country
The $78.9 billion increase in the U.S. direct investment position abroad was spread among all
major geographic areas. The largest increase by
far was in Europe.

The position in Europe increased n percent
and accounted for nearly one-half of the overall
increase in the position worldwide. The increase
resulted from capital outflows of $45.3 billion that
were partly offset by negative valuation adjustments of $6.6 billion. Within Europe, more than
one-half of the increase in the position was in
the United Kingdom. Outside the United Kingdom, increases were largest in the Netherlands
and Ireland.
In the United Kingdom, nearly one-half of
the increase was in FIRE, where the increase was
about evenly split among reinvested earnings,
intercompany debt outflows, and equity capital

outflows. Equity capital outflows in FIRE funded
the establishment of holding companies for the
purpose of acquiring electric utility companies.
Also contributing to the increase in position
were reinvested earnings of manufacturing affiliates (particularly in industrial machinery and
chemicals), loans to affiliates in petroleum and
chemicals, and positive currency-translation adjustments (due to the dollar's depreciation against
the British pound).
In the Netherlands, most of the increase
was in FIRE and mainly reflected the reinvested earnings of holding companies (generated
largely by operating affiliates located in other
countries) that were partly offset by negative
currency-translation adjustments.
The position in Ireland increased 40 percent—
by far the fastest pace among the European
countries. The increase reflected very strong
earnings—85 percent of which were reinvested—
by affiliates that mainly serve markets in
other foreign countries. Reinvested earnings
were largest in manufacturing—particularly in
chemicals and electronic equipment—and in
FIRE.
The position in Latin America and Other Western Hemisphere increased 12 percent as a result
of capital outflows of $14.3 billion and positive
valuation adjustments of $1.7 billion. Within
the area, the largest increases were in Bermuda,
Mexico, Brazil, and Panama. In Bermuda, the
increase was mainly due to reinvested earnings
and capital gains by affiliates in FIRE. Most of
the increase in Mexico was in manufacturing; it
reflected lending to affiliates in food and reinvested earnings by affiliates in chemicals. In
Brazil, the increase reflected reinvested earnings
of manufacturing affiliates and acquisitions of
electric utilities in "other industries." In Panama,
the increase reflected capital gains and reinvested
earnings among affiliates in FIRE.
The position in Asia and Pacific increased 12
percent as a result of capital outflows of $14.8 billion. Within Asia and Pacific, the largest increase
was in Australia and reflected valuation adjustments in banking and acquisitions of electric
utility companies in "other industries." Increases
were also large in Hong Kong and Singapore.
In Hong Kong, the increase was mainly due to
reinvested earnings by affiliates in FIRE, wholesale
trade, and electronic equipment. In Singapore,
almost all of the increase resulted from reinvested
earnings—particularly in electronic equipment,
FIRE, industrial machinery, and petroleum.

The increase in the position in Canada was
the second-largest dollar increase of any country,
despite a relatively low growth rate of 7 percent. The increase was more than accounted
for by reinvested earnings, which were largest
in transportation equipment, FIRE, petroleum,
and "other manufacturing." Also contributing
to the increase were large acquisitions of mining and waste management businesses in "other
industries."
Foreign Direct Investment
in the United States
The foreign direct investment position in the
United States valued at historical cost—the book
value of foreign direct investors' equity in, and
net outstanding loans to, their U.S. affiliates—
was $630.0 billion at the end of 1996 (table 2
and chart i). More than one-half of the position was accounted for by three countries—the
United Kingdom, Japan, and the Netherlands.
The United Kingdom's position remained the
largest ($142.6 billion, or 23 percent of the total).
Japan's position was the second largest ($118.1 billion, or 19 percent), and the Netherlands position
was the third largest ($73.8 billion, or 12 percent)
(table 4 and chart 3).
In 1996, the FDIUS position increased $69.2 billion, or 12 percent, following an increase of 13
percent in 1995 and an average increase of 12 percent in 1982-94. The increase in the position in
1996 was mainly due to the continued strength

of the U.S. economy, which attracted new investments from abroad and which expanded the
earnings existing U.S, affiliates could draw on to
finance growth. In addition, continued economic
expansion in certain major investor countries,
such as the United Kingdom and Japan, may
have increased the ability of parent companies
in those countries to make new acquisitions and
contribute additional capital to their existing U.S.
affiliates and may have reduced their need to draw
funds from their affiliates.

July 1997 • 39

Factors specific to particular industries and
to corporate restructuring in the United States
also contributed to the increase in the position. Rapid market growth in high technology
and information-related industries encouraged
acquisitions in these industries. Corporate restructuring has led many companies to shed
units that were either unprofitable or unrelated
to their main lines of business, thereby creating
new investment opportunities for foreign investors. These last two factors had an even more

accounted for by "other manufacturing," petroleum, and insurance; however, it was partly offset
by a large decrease in the earnings of banking
affiliates. The two industries that continued to
show losses—albeit small ones—were real estate
and services.
Intercompany debt inflows were $11.7 billion,
down from $12.6 billion.

Capital inflows for foreign direct investment in
the United States were at a record $78.8 billion in
1996, up from $69.4 billion in 1995. More than
two-thirds of the 1996 total was accounted for
by equity capital inflows, which were $8.0 billion higher than in 1995. These inflows were at
their highest level since the peak year of 1990,
The high level of equity capital inflows reflected
both capital contributions to existing U.S. affiliates and continued growth in acquisitions of U.S.
businesses by foreigners.
For the third consecutive year, the position was
boosted by reinvested earnings; in contrast, in
1989-93, growth in the position was reduced by
negative reinvested earnings (negative reinvested
earnings occur when affiliates incur losses or distribute earnings to their foreign parents in excess
of their current earnings). Reinvested earnings
were at a record $14.1 billion in 1996, $2.3 billion higher than the previous record in 1995. All
industries except real estate, services, and banking had positive reinvested earnings. The high
level of reinvested earnings reflected a $2.1 billion
7. See "Foreign Direct Investment in the United States: New Investment
in 1996 and Affiliate Operations in 1995," SURVEY 77 (June 1997): 42-69.
Preliminary data from BEA'S survey of new foreign direct investments, summarized in that article, indicate that total outlays to acquire or establish U.S.
businesses were $80.5 billion in 1996, up from $57.2 billion in 1995. Unlike
the changes in the foreign direct investment position presented in this article,
these figures cover only transactions involving U.S. businesses newly acquired
or established by foreign direct investors and include financing other than
that from the foreign parent, such as local borrowing by existing U.S. affiliates. In contrast, changes in the position reflect transactions of both new
and existing U.S. affiliates—but only transactions with the foreign parent or
other members of the foreign parent group—and valuation adjustments.
Notwithstanding these differences, the two types of data are related. Any
outlays to acquire or establish U.S. businesses that are funded by foreign
parents (or other members of the foreign parent group) are part of capital
inflows, a component of the change in the position. Data from the new
investments survey indicate that foreign parent groups funded $58.4 billion,
or 73 percent, of outlays to acquire or establish new U.S. affiliates in 1996,
compared with $30.8 billion, or 54 percent, in 1995.

The $69.2 billion increase in the foreign direct
investment position in the United States in 1996
was concentrated among parents located in Europe. Outside Europe, the largest increases were
by parents in Japan and Canada.

The position of European investors increased
15 percent—a faster pace than that for any other
major area—and accounted for more than threequarters of the overall increase in 1996. The
increase resulted from capital inflows of $59.8
billion that were partly offset by negative valuation adjustments of $6.6 billion. Within Europe,
parents in the United Kingdom had by far the
largest dollar increase, followed by parents in
Germany, France, the Netherlands, Luxembourg,
and Ireland.
The largest increase in the position of British
parents was in "finance, except depository institutions" ("finance") and resulted from lending
by foreign parents. Acquisitions in other manufacturing, services, and wholesale trade also
contributed to the increase.
The increase in the position of German parents
was more than accounted for by equity capital
inflows, which were the largest from any country.
The largest equity capital inflows were in services,

The largest increases in the position of Netherlands parents were in finance, manufacturing—

reflected lending by parents.
The increase in the position of Japanese parents
was more than accounted for by equity capital
inflows, almost all of which were capital contributions to existing affiliates,, By industry, the
largest increases in the position were in services

The largest increases in the position of
Canadian parents were in manufacturing—
particularly chemicals and "other manufacturing"—and insurance. In chemicals, the increase
reflected borrowing from parents; in "other manufacturing," it reflected equity capital inflows and
reinvested earnings. The increase in insurance
reflected repayment by parents of loans from
affiliates. [3

U.S. International Transactions,
Revised Estimates for 1974-96
By Christopher L Bach

fTis is customary each June, the estimates of
J/-lu.S. international transactions have been
revised to incorporate methodological and statistical revisions. This year, like last year, a number
of improvements have been implemented as part
of a multiyear effort by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) to address gaps in coverage of
transactions. These gaps and plans to fill them
were outlined by BEA in its Mid-Decade Strategic
Plan for improving BEA'S economic accounts (see
the February and April 1995 and June 1996 issues
of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS). The improvements also address various gaps noted by
the International Monetary Fund, the National
Academy of Sciences, and the General Accounting Office.1 In large part, the gaps have arisen
because of the dynamic nature of the internai. Report on the World Current Account Discrepancy (Washington, DC:
International Monetary Fund, September 1987).
Report on the Measurement of International Capital Flows (Washington,
DC: International Monetary Fund, September 1992).
Behind the Numbers: U.S. Trade in the World Economy (Washington, DC:
National Research Council, 1992).

tional markets. The major improvements this
year respond to rapid changes in both the capital
markets and the services markets.
• In the investment income accounts, greatly
improved estimates of income receipts are
introduced based on results of a new benchmark survey of the stock of U.S. portfolio
investment abroad as of March 1994. Conducted by the Treasury Department, this
survey is the first such survey in more than
50 years, and its completion represents a major milestone in the multiyear program for
statistical improvements developed jointly by
BEA, the Treasury Department, and the Federal Reserve Board. The new position data
enable BEA to develop improved estimates of
bond interest and dividend income receipts.
The new position data also permit BEA to
greatly improve its estimates of U.S. bond
and stock holdings that are included in the
U.S. international investment position.
o In the capital accounts, estimates of international flows of U.S. currency appear for
the first time. With this addition, BEA
closes what had grown into a sizable gap

The revised estimates were prepared under the general direction of Anthony DiLullo, with the assistance
of Cynthia McPherson and staff in the Balance of Payments Division. Russell Scholl, Harlan King, Christopher
Gohrband, Jane Newstedt, and Dena Holland prepared
the benchmark estimates of U.S. portfolio investment
abroad and related income flows; Michael Mann, Chris
Emond, Shirley Davis, John Sondheimer, and Robert
Becker, the benchmark estimates on nonfinancial services transactions; Russell Scholl and Jane Newstedt,
the estimates of financial services transactions; Steven
Baldwin, the estimates of earnings and expenditures of
temporary workers; Ed Dozier, the estimates of truck
transportation and ocean port services receipts; Russell
SchoU and Barbara Berman, the estimates of U.S. currency flows and currency translation gains and losses;
Harlan King, the preliminary estimates of nonbank

claims and liabilities; and Kwok Lee, the estimates of
goods.
The revised estimates of the direct investment accounts
were prepared under the general direction of David Belli.
Gregory Fouch, with the assistance of Karen Poffel and
other staff in the International Investment Division, prepared the revised estimates of foreign direct investment
in the United States.
Special assistance was provided this year by Richard
Porter and Ruth Judson of the Federal Reserve Board,
who developed the estimates of U.S. currency flows; by
Milton Pappas and William Griever of the U.S. Treasury Department, who conducted the benchmark survey
of U.S. portfolio investment abroad and by Diane Oberg
and staff of the Bureau of the Census* Foreign Trade Division, who conducted the study of "residual" seasonality
for goods.

selected services (largely business, professional, and technical services), to incorporate revised and more accurate estimates of
"other" transportation, and to include new
estimates of earnings and expenditures of
temporary workers in the United States.
• In addition, results of BEA'S 1992 benchmark survey of foreign direct investment
in the United States are incorporated into
the capital, investment income, and services
accounts. The survey covers the universe
of direct investment and is part of BEA'S
ongoing program of regular quinquennial
benchmark surveys.
• Finally, unrealized currency translation gains
and losses have been removed from certain
banking transactions to provide a more accurate measure of U.S. banks' international
activity.

in coverage in the international transactions
and investment position accounts. The gap
had developed in recent decades, as strong
foreign demand developed for U.S. currency,
particularly in the form of Federal Reserve
notes. Because of difficulty in accurate measurement, currency flows do not appear in
the international accounts of most countries.
The new estimates were developed by the
Federal Reserve Board.
• In the services accounts, "other" private
service receipts and "other* private service
payments are revised to include preliminary
results of BEA'S annual surveys of financial services for 1995 and 1996. These are
BEA'S first annual surveys of financial services, and they update the results of BEA'S first
benchmark survey of financial services with
unaffiliated foreigners, covering 1994. These
new surveys enable BEA to better capture
the diversity of transactions in financial services and more accurately portray the key role
of U.S. institutions in cross-border trade in
financial services.
• Also in the services accounts, estimates have
been revised to incorporate preliminary results from BEA'S 1996 benchmark survey of

In addition to these improvements, revisions
are made to all accounts to incorporate revised
and updated source data. Among the accounts
most affected by this type of change were travel
receipts for 1995 and 1996, which incorporated
updated source data from the Immigration and
Naturalization Service. Revisions were also made
to the inward and outward direct investment ac-

survey results.
Table i presents a summary of revisions from
all sources. Table 2 presents detail on the revisions due to new source data and methodologies.
For 1996, $22.8 billion is added to exports of
goods, services, and income, and $8.4 billion is
added to imports of goods, services, and income.
The largest single source of addition to exports
was the upward revision to income receipts of
$84 billion in 1996. Many of the revisions to
the services accounts were about offsetting for
exports and imports, but the upward revision
to travel receipts far exceeded the upward re-

vision to travel payments. In total, the U.S.
current-account deficit was reduced $16.9 billion.
The remainder of this article discusses the major revisions and the years directly affected as
follows:
• Benchmark survey of U.S. portfolio investment abroad (1985-96)
• U.S. currency flows (1974-96)
• Financial services (1995-96)
• Benchmark survey of foreign direct investment in the United States (1992-96)
• Benchmark survey of selected services (1996)
• Transportation estimates (1995-96)

Benchmark survey of U.S. portfolio investment
abroad
The U.S. Department of the Treasury recently
completed a benchmark survey of U.S. portfolio

investment in foreign long-term securities. This
was the first such survey of U.S. ownership of foreign securities since a war-time survey conducted
in May 1943. The survey collected data on the aggregate market value and composition of foreign
long-term securities owned by U.S. persons as of
March 31, 1994. Long-terfn securities are bonds
with original maturities of more than i year
and all equities. The survey was conducted in
close consultation with the Bureau of Economic
Analysis, the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, the Securities and

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Exchange Commission, other U.S. Government
agencies, and the financial community.
Both custodians and fund managers, including
qualified investors, were surveyed to ensure comprehensiveness. Custodians were identified as
entities located in the United States who managed
the safe-keeping of $20 million or more in foreign
long-term securities for themselves or on behalf
of other U.S0 persons; most foreign securities
are held by custodians or sub-custodians. Fund
mangers and investors were identified as entities
located in the United States who owned or managed investment in foreign long-term securities
of $5 million or more on behalf of institutional
or private investors.
Detailed data collected from fund managers
was compared with summary level data collected
from custodians, both to check on the completeness of coverage and to eliminate duplication of
coverage. In all, 3,344 fund managers and custodians participated in the survey. Survey data was
collected on an individual security basis by international security identification or CUSIP number
and then aggregated by industry, by country, by
type of security, by type of instrument, and by
currency.2
The results of the survey, as expected, show
large U.S. holdings. The total value of foreign
bond and stock holdings as of March 31, 1994,
was $870.3 billion. The survey results now replace
estimates based on transactions contained in
the Treasury Department's International Capital
Reporting system and BEA estimates.
The survey results are $302.6 billion higher than
the BEA estimated position of $550.6 billion at
yearend 1993, which was published in the article
on the net U.S. international investment position
in the July 1996 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
The differences between the two estimates can
be attributed both to incomplete coverage of
these transactions in the Treasury source data
upon which BEA'S position estimates are based
and to inexact valuation of price and exchange
rate adjustments applied to BEA'S estimated positions. However, it is not possible to determine
the amount of underestimation attributable to
each part of the estimation process.
Foreign bonds.—The benchmark survey estimate
of U.S. holdings of foreign bonds is $309.7 billion
at yearend 1993, compared with BEA'S previous
estimate of $247.8 billion.
2, For more detail on the methodology and survey results, see Milton
Pappas, "United States Long-Term Portfolio Investment Abroad," Treasury
Bulletin (Summer 1997).




BEA'S estimation procedures for bonds are divided between dollar-denominated and foreigncurrency-denominated bonds. This division reflects the conventions used by BEA for estimating
both positions and income. BEA'S estimates
of U.S. holdings of dollar-denominated bonds
were overstated because of underestimation of
the amount of redemptions and because of purchases by foreigners at the time bonds were
originally sold (issued) in the United States. BEA'S
estimates of U.S. holdings of foreign-currencydenominated bonds were understated because
of incomplete coverage and the lack of any
geographic information on the nationality and
currency of issuer, which is required in order
to apply appropriate price and exchange rate
valuations. The Treasury survey provides a
one-time measure of the geographic distribution by nationality and currency of issuer; BEA
has used this opportunity to revise its measures of valuation changes by applying appropriate
prices, exchange rates, and yields to the updated
geographic distribution of holdings.
The increase in reported bond holdings in the
Treasury survey has resulted in a re-estimation
of associated interest receipts. Receipts are estimated by applying market yields to revised
portfolio holdings. Interest income receipts on
bonds are revised upward $6.1 billion, to $23.3
billion, for 1993 as a result of the improved coverage of transactions. The benchmark survey
also permits improved geographic attribution of
bond interest income. The updated geography is
used to attribute income to the country of ownership of the securities rather than to the country
where transactions occur, which is the basis for
BEA'S estimates for the years between benchmark
surveys. This distinction is important because
allocations by country of transaction overstate income receipts from countries with well-developed
financial markets—such as the United Kingdom,
Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Hong Kong—
and correspondingly understate income receipts
from other countries.
Foreign stocks.—The benchmark survey estimate
of U.S. holdings of foreign stocks is $543.9 billion
at yearend 1993, compared with BEA'S previous estimate of $302.8 billion. As with foreign
bonds, the primary reasons for underestimation
are incomplete coverage and inexact valuation.
Acquisitions omitted from the position estimates
in the past would not have been included in the
accumulated appreciation of stock values that has
occurred over the past several decades. Continued undercoverage over the years would have

July 1997 • 47

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

48 • July 1997




compounded this understatement. In addition,
necessary geographic detail to which to apply appropriate stock prices and exchange rate indexes
was lacking. BEA has used this opportunity to revise its measures of valuation changes by applying
appropriate prices, exchange rates, and dividend
yields to the updated geographic distribution of
holdings.
The increase in reported stock holdings in the
Treasury survey has resulted in a re-estimation
of the associated dividend receipts. Receipts are
estimated by applying market rates to revised
portfolio holdings. Dividend income receipts on
stocks are revised up $4.1 billion, to $10.9 billion, for 1993 as a result of improved coverage of
transactions. As with interest income on bonds,
the much more accurate picture of U.S. stock
holdings abroad by country of ownership has enabled BEA to improve its geographic allocation of
dividend receipts.
Historical revisions.—To avoid a major break
in series, the position estimates for bonds and
stocks were carried backward from yearend 1993
to yearend 1984. The adjustment is based on
the cumulative volume of trading over the entire
timespan, which is apportioned to each year by
the annual percentage of the cumulative volume
that occurred in that year. The 1984 starting point
was chosen because that was when the explosive
growth in gross trading volume of foreign bonds
and foreign stocks began (chart i). Adjustment
of the position estimates for the years prior to
1984 would have had only a marginal effect on
estimated positions.

flows in the past two decades, estimates of U.S.
currency flows have not been included in the international transactions accounts or international
investment position accounts because of this difficulty. This difficulty is not surprising, given
the diversity of channels through which currency
may flow abroad, the destinations of the currency,
and its varied uses.
Recently, however, the Federal Reserve Board's
research staff completed a multiyear research
project to measure such flows. The research uses
pioneering approaches to the measurement of
U.S. currency flows abroad by direct and indirect
methods of estimation that are based on numerous statistical measurement techniques and
multiple data sources. Major conclusions from
the study were the following: The amount of
U.S. currency going into domestic circulation
each year has not varied much over the past
two decades, while the amount of currency going abroad has risen strongly, particularly in the
1990*5; consequently, the share of U.S. currency

U.S. currency flows
U.S. currency—particularly Federal Reserve
notes—is widely held by foreigners. The currency is used for many of the same reasons as
in the United States. It serves as a unit of account, a medium of exchange, and a store of
value, especially when the purchasing power of
the domestic currency is uncertain. As a safe asset in an unpredictable world, dollars flow into a
country during periods of economic and political
upheaval and sometimes remain there well after
the crisis has subsided. In other situations, the
dollar co-circulates with the domestic currency
for extended time periods.
Although the amount of U.S. currency outstanding is known, the shares in domestic and
in foreign circulation are notoriously difficult to
measure accurately. Notwithstanding the growing importance of cross-border U.S. currency

going into domestic circulation each year has
dropped over the past two decades, while the
share going abroad has risen strongly; these same
broad conclusions emerge regardless of which
measurement technique or set of source data was
used; and all measurement techniques identified the same periods of major accelerations and
decelerations in net outflows of currency.3
After a review of all the methods of measurement, a modification of one of the direct methods
of measurement was developed in close consultation with the Federal Reserve Board's research
staff. It is this modification that is used for the
new estimates.
The exact amount of currency flowing abroad
is not known. As a proxy, the new estimates use
total net disbursements of $100 notes from the
New York City and Los Angeles cash offices of
the Federal Reserve district banks.
Several institutional characteristics of the circulation of U.S. currency support this approach
to measurement and indicate that most of these
notes flow to and from foreigners. First, mostly
lower denomination notes ($5*8, $io's, $20*s, and
$5o's) circulate in the U.S. economy, whereas
mostly $100 notes circulate abroad. A1995 survey
of U.S. households found that they could account
at most for a little more than 3 percent of total
holdings of $100 notes. Second, the shipment of
$100 notes from the New York City cash office
is very large relative to the size of its district as
measured by several economic variables, including its regional share of vault cash, population,
income, and deposits. Third, the inclusion of
the Los Angeles cash office is based on information that suggests that $100 notes returned to the
United States from abroad (largely from Asian
countries) are shipped primarily to Los Angeles.
From 1990 to 1996, the New York City and Los
Angeles cash offices have placed on net almost
84 percent of the $142.7 billion increase in $100
notes in circulation.
The proxy is known to be deficient in that it
(1) excludes very small shipments of lower denomination notes sent abroad by these offices;
(2) excludes very small shipments of $100 notes
sent abroad by other Federal Reserve cash offices;
and (3) includes the very small amount of $100
notes that are distributed into the U.S. economy.
However, none of these deficiencies is thought

to introduce major shortcomings to the proxy
chosen.
The broad geographic areas to which U.S. currency has flowed in recent years are known. From
1988 to 1991, U.S. currency flowed first to Latin
America, primarily to Argentina, and then to the
rest of the world in response to the uncertainties
created by the Persian Gulf War. In 1993 and
1994, the deteriorating situation in Russia and
other parts of the former Soviet Union led to
large outflows to those areas. Net U.S. currency
flows to Russia alone accounted for more than
half of total net flows of U.S. currency from 1994
to 1996. Additional flows have been to the Middle
East and Far East. Although net currency flows
tended to drop back after each of these surges,
the general upward path of net currency flows
abroad is unmistakable (table 3).
Quarterly estimates of net currency flows
abroad are introduced into the U.S. international transactions accounts for 1974-96, and
the amounts held by foreigners, into the annual
estimates of the U.S. international investment position accounts for 1973-96. At yearend 1973,
U.S. currency held abroad was $30.5 billion, or
49 percent of U.S. currency in circulation and
held outside of the U.S. Treasury, Federal Reserve banks, and vaults of depository institutions.
By yearend 1996, U.S. currency held abroad had
grown to $209.6 billion, or 53 percent of the
$398.0 billion of U.S. currency in circulation
(table 3).
The new measure of net currency flows is
believed to represent nearly all the currency

transactions that occur through wholesale
banking channels. Currency that flows abroad
through other channels—through tourists,
through business persons, through personal
remittances, and through U.S. military personnel stationed overseas—is not covered in this
estimate. Currency smuggled and other illegal
activities involving cash, such as drug trafficking,
are also not covered in this estimate.
Partial estimates of U.S. currency held by
foreigners and changes in those holdings were
included in the international accounts and the
international investment position of the United
States from 1946 to 1962 (see Samuel Pizer
and Frederick Cutler, "U.S. International Investments," SURVEY 43 (August 1963)). The estimates
were discontinued when they were discovered to
be unreliable and inaccurate. Currency flows at
that time were based on a Federal Reserve survey
of currency shipments through banks, a Census
Bureau report of exports and imports of silver
coins, periodic information on the U.S. Treasury's currency shipments, and estimates of U.S.
currency spent abroad by U.S, troops. Growing uncertainty over the coverage and quality of
measurement led to the series' termination, partly
because evolving geographic statistical patterns
appeared to be seriously out of line with actual
developments.

Financial services
Estimates of financial services are further improved from last year's introduction of the comprehensive benchmark survey for 1994 by this
year's introduction of preliminary results from
the 1995 and 1996 Annual Survey of Financial Services Transactions Between U.S. Financial Services Providers and Unaffiliated Foreign
Persons.
The new annual surveys provide coverage comparable to that of the benchmark survey (which
included nearly a dozen types "of financial services), but in consideration of statistical reporting
burden, the exemption level in the annual survey is raised to $5.0 million from $1.0 million
in the benchmark survey. The loss in coverage
due to the higher exemption level is recovered
by statistical estimation of the exempt companies'
transactions in nonbenchmark years- In addition, because the follow-on annual surveys, like
the benchmark survey, cover only explicit fees
paid and received, BEA continues to estimate fees
paid and received on bond trading, which are not

separately identifiable and consequently can not
be reported.4
The largest revisions for 1995 and 1996 to both
receipts and payments were to underwriting and
private placement fees and, to a lesser extent, to
financial management fees and financial advisory
fees. The revisions resulted largely from a substantial step-up in financial activity in both 1995
and 1996 from levels of the 1992-94 period upon
which extrapolations were based. In contrast,
preliminary estimates for brokerage commission
receipts and payments were close to the revised
estimates.
Despite the underestimation, the basic approach of extrapolation from the benchmark year
using activity and fee-rate variables to produce
current estimates until annual survey results can
replace them still appears sound. In the future,
the approach will be maintained, but the availability of annual surveys will permit the estimates
for each type of financial service to be adjusted
more promptly.
The annual surveys confirm the benchmark
survey findings that much financial service activity takes place outside affiliated channels and
that at least for the United States, it is necessary
to survey transactions with unaffiliated foreigners
in order to obtain complete coverage of financial
services.
Estimates of receipts were revised up $0.9 billion, to $7.0 billion, for 1995 and up $0.4 billion,
to $8.0 billion, for 1996. Estimates of payments
were revised up $0.8 billion, to $2.5 billion, for
1995 and up $1.2 billion, to $3.2 billion, for 1996.
Benchmark survey of foreign direct investment
in the United States
Results of BEA'S 1992 benchmark survey of foreign
direct investment in the United States are introduced for 1992. For years after 1992, the estimates
are revised by extrapolating forward the 1992 universe data and by incorporating new or adjusted
data from BEA'S quarterly sample surveys for
1993-96. Previously, the estimates for 1992 forward were extrapolated from the 1987 benchmark
survey and sample surveys for 1993-96.
The 1992 benchmark survey covers the universe
of U.S. affiliates of foreign direct investors. In
nonbenchmark years, universe estimates of the
direct investment position and related capital, investment income, and services flows are derived
from data reported quarterly by a sample of affiliates and from estimates for affiliates not in the
4. See Christopher L. Bach, "U.S. International Transactions, Revised
Estimates for 1986-95." SURVEY 76 (July 1996).

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

sample. The estimates for affiliates not in the
sample are derived by extrapolating data from
the benchmark survey using a matched sample
of data from reporting affiliates.
Direct investment capital—Net capital inflows for
foreign direct investment in the United States are
revised for 1992-96 to incorporate the results of
the 1992 benchmark survey and new or adjusted
data from the sample surveys for 1993-96. In
addition, a recalculation of permanent invested
capital in unincorporated bank affiliates, using
more detailed source data, resulted in revisions
for 1992 and 1993. The revisions for 1993-96 also
reflect revised estimates of depreciation, depletion, and expensed exploration and development
costs, which are used to adjust the reinvested
earnings component of capital to a current-cost
basis. Net capital inflows are revised up $0.3 billion for 1992, up $6.0 billion for 1993, down $4.1
billion for 1994, up $7.3 billion for 1995, and down
$7.0 billion for 1996.
A more complete explanation of the revisions
will accompany the presentation of the detailed
estimates of foreign direct investment in the
United States in the September 1997 SURVEY.
Direct investment income.—Net payments of income by U.S. affiliates to their foreign parents
are revised for 1992-96 to incorporate the results
of the 1992 benchmark survey and new or adjusted data from the sample surveys for 1993-96.
The revisions for 1993^96 also reflect revised estimates of depreciation, depletion, and expensed
exploration and development costs, which are
used to adjust the earnings component of direct
investment income to a current-cost basis, and
revisions to related withholding taxes. Net income payments are essentially unrevised for 1992
and 1993 and were revised down $1.1 billion for
1994, down $1.1 billion for 1995, and down $1.7
billion for 1996.
Royalties and license fees payments and receipts, affiliated.—Payments and receipts of royalties and
license fees between U.S. affiliates and their foreign parents (and foreign affiliates of their foreign
parents) are revised for 1992-96 to incorporate
the results of the 1992 benchmark survey and
new or adjusted data from the sample surveys for
1993-96. For 1992, U.S. affiliates' payments and
U.S. affiliates' receipts were essentially unrevised.
Other private service payments and receipts, affiliated.—Payments and receipts for other private
services between U.S. affiliates and their foreign
parents (and foreign affiliates of their foreign




parents) are revised for 1992-96 to incorporate
the results of the 1992 benchmark survey and
new or adjusted data from the sample surveys
for 1993-960 For 1992, U.S. affiliates' payments
are revised down $0.1 billion, and U.S. affiliates'
receipts are revised up $0.2 billion.
Benchmark survey of selected services
The estimates for 1996 incorporate the preliminary results of BEA'S 1996 Benchmark Survey
of Selected Services Transactions with Unaffiliated Foreign Persons. The survey covered a
number of business, professional, and technical
services and is one of many quinquennial benchmark surveys that are a regular part of BEA'S
ongoing benchmark survey program. Services
covered were primarily advertising, computer and
data processing, database and other information
services, and management, legal, and construction and engineering services. In addition, to
fill data gaps in new, growing, and volatile services categories, this benchmark survey covered a
number of other services for the first time: Financial services by firms that are not financial
services providers (purchases only); selling agent
services; and "other" private services, such as
satellite photography, security services, actuarial
services, salvage services, oilspill and toxic waste
cleanup services, language translation services,
and account collection services. (These services
had previously been covered in annual surveys
but not in a benchmark survey). The survey
was required from each U.S. person who had
transactions (either sales or purchases of any of
the covered services) in excess of $500,000 with
unaffiliated foreign persons.
For 1996, $0.4 billion in receipts and $0.2
billion in payments are added to the accounts.

of freight charges for the transportation of U.S.
goods exports by truck between the United States
and Canada are revised for 1995 and 1996, based
on newly available source data.
Beginning in April 1995, the Bureau of the
Census began collecting and providing to the
Department of Transportation survey data on
freight charges for the transportation of U.S.
goods exports by truck between the United States
and Canada. The survey data now replace BEA
projections that were previously used to estimate
truck freight receipts and payments. (Survey data

Canada were available at the time the estimates
were introduced in 1995.)
For 1995, the revision raised truck freight receipts by $0.2 billion and reduced truck freight
payments by $0.2 billion0 For 1996, the revision
raised truck freight receipts by $0.2 billion and
reduced truck freight payments by $0.3 billion.
Ocean port receipts.—Estimates of foreignoperated ocean carriers' expenses in U.S. ports
are revised for 1992-96 to incorporate details
now available from BEA'S survey of ocean transportation. The new details identify the types
of primary expenses incurred in U.S. ports by
foreign ocean carriers.
Primary expenses include port call expenses
(pilotage, towing, and tugboat), cargo expenses
(stevedoring, container and barge rentals, and
warehouse), vessel expenses (stores and supplies,
vessel repairs, and officer and crew wages), and
other expenses (agents' and brokers' fees and expenses relating to maintaining U.S. offices). The
estimates of these nonfuel expenses are based on
the annual BEA survey "Foreign Ocean Carriers'
Expenses in the United States." From the annual
reports, a per ton expenditure "rate" is calculated
for each type of nonfuel expense and for each
type of carrier (liner, tanker, and tramp). These
implied per ton expenditure "rates" are used in
conjunction with Bureau of the Census data on
import and export tonnage of foreign-operated
ocean carriers to calculate total expenses.
Previously, no detail by type of primary expense was available; consequently, estimates were
developed only at the aggregate level. Estimates
based on type of primary expense yield substantially lower estimates of foreign-operated ocean
carriers' expenses in U.S. ports than estimates
based on aggregate port expenses.
Separate enumeration of different types of port
expenses also permits a more direct method of
estimation of fuel expenses. Estimates of fuel
expenses are now based on the Bureau of the
Census quarterly report "Bunker Fuel Laden on
Vessels Cleared for Foreign Countries." Previously, the estimates of fuel expenses were based
on indirect methods of estimation because they
could not be separated from other expenses
reported on BEA'S survey.
Estimates of primary expenses and of fuel
for each type of service are summed to total
ocean port services receipts. Downward revisions
to ocean port services receipts range from $1.1
billion for 1992 to $2.3 billion for 1996.

Earnings and expenditures of temporary workers
Migratory workers.—Earnings and expenditures
of foreign residents employed temporarily in the
United States are revised for 1986-96 to include
the earnings of "undocumented" migrant agricultural workers, mostly from Mexico. These
migrant workers are employed in the United
States 23 weeks a year, on average, to assist in the
growing and harvesting of crops. Until now, no
estimates of earnings and expenditures of "undocumented" migrant agricultural workers have
been included in the accounts.
Only the earnings and expenditures of "undocumented" migrant agricultural workers are
included in the new estimates. Earnings and
expenditures of nonagricultural Mexican and
Canadian residents who commute to work and
are employed in the border areas of the United
States are already included in the "other" private
services accounts. Resident immigrants, who also
earn income and make expenditures, are considered residents of the United States; the share of
their earnings that is sent abroad is included in
personal remittances.
The estimation methodology for "undocumented" migrant agricultural workers uses biennial data from the U.S. Department of Labor's
National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS)
and data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Quarterly Agricultural Labor Survey
(QALS). The NAWS survey, which is based on interviews with agricultural workers for the years
1989-95, covers crop workers (nursery, cash
grains, field crops, and fruits and vegetables) and
excludes livestock, poultry, and animal fodder
workers. The QALS is a telephone survey of farm
employers taken four times a year.
Several steps are necessary to combine the information from the two data sources. First, an
estimate of total crop workers is calculated by extrapolating the number of total crop workers in
1991 from the NAWS by the total QALS employment
of farm labor and agricultural service workers.
Second, "undocumented" migrant workers are
calculated by multiplying the NAWS percentage of
crop workers who are migrants and the NAWS
percentage of migrants who are "undocumented"
times the total number of crop workers. Third,
the number of "undocumented" migrant workers is multiplied by the average hours worked per
quarter from the NAWS and the average hourly
earnings, less withholding, from the QALS, to calculate earnings. It is assumed that 55 percent of
earnings are spent in the United States.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Revisions are made for 1986-96. For 1996, $2.0
billion is added to earnings, and $1.1 billion is
added to expenditures. For 1986, $0.7 billion is
added to earnings, and $0.4 billion is added to
expenditures.
Professional workers.—Earnings and expenditures
of foreign residents employed temporarily in the
United States are revised to include the earnings
of self-employed foreign professionals—such as
artists, athletes, consultants, and teachers. Estimates of their earnings are based on data from
the Internal Revenue Service. It is assumed that
40 percent of professionals' earnings are spent in
the United States. (Earnings and expenditures
of professionals working in the United States for
foreign corporations are included in the direct
investment services accounts.)
Revisions are made for 1986-96. For 1996, $0.5
billion is added to earnings, and $0.2 billion is
added to expenditures. For 1986, $0.1 billion
is added to earnings, and the amount added to
expenditures is very small.
Currency translation gains and losses
Improved measures of U.S. banks' own claims
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are introduced for 1992-96. An adjustment
is made that improves the quality of the estimates by removing unrealized currency translation gains and losses from U.S. banks' capital
flows. These gains and losses occur because
foreign-currency-denominated assets and liabilities are reported in dollar equivalents, thereby
giving rise to apparent transactions any time
that exchange rates at the end of i month differ from those at the end of the next month.
Because foreign-currency-denominated positions
have increased in size in recent years, fluctuations
in the positions attributable to exchange rate
movements have become large enough to significantly distort the measure of capital transactions.
Therefore, the dollar-equivalent amounts will
now be adjusted to remove unrealized gains or
losses, which should more appropriately be considered as valuation adjustments in the net U.S.
international investment position. Bona fide capital transactions, as well as foreign exchange gains
and losses that are realized, will then constitute
capital flows in the balance of payments accounts.
The adjustment is made on the basis of banking data collected by the Bank for International
Settlements (BIS).
The improved flow estimates for U.S. banks'
own foreign-currency-denominated claims and




liabilities are derived by applying the distribution of foreign currencies in the BIS banking
data to the positions reported in the Treasury
International Capital (TIC) reporting system at
the beginning and end of quarters in order to
compute the dollar amount of TIC outstandings
held in each of nine key currencies—the British
pound, Japanese yen, German mark, Swiss franc,
French franc, Italian lire, Canadian dollar, the
European Currency Unit (ECU), and the Special Drawing Right (SDR) (for less developed
countries that transact largely in nondomestic
currencies).
The TIC dollar-reported outstandings for each
of the nine currencies are then converted into
domestic currency units using end-of-period
exchange rates. The difference between the
beginning- and end-of-period positions constitutes the estimated capital flow for each currency
in domestic units. The flow for each of the
nine currencies is then converted back into dollars using quarterly average exchange rates, and
the nine values are summed to compute global
capital flows excluding exchange rate gains and
losses.
The global flow without exchange gains and
losses is then subtracted from the global TIC capital flow with gains and losses; the difference
equals the exchange rate gains and losses incurred
during the period. Representatives in the banking industry suggest that about 25 percent of the
computed gains and losses are realized in a typical quarter and are thus appropriately included
in capital flows; therefore, only the 75 percent
that represent the unrealized exchange gains and
losses are removed from the Tic-reported capital
flow.
Unrealized gains and losses are removed from
U.S. banks' foreign-currency-denominated flows
for 1992-96. The adjustments for foreign currency claims ranged in size from -$3.1 billion in
the third quarter of 1995 to $3.3 billion in the
first quarter of 1995; the revisions were negative
when the dollar appreciated and positive when
the dollar depreciated. The adjustments for foreign currency liabilities ranged in size from -$4.3
billion in the first quarter of 1995 to $4.1 billion
in the third quarter of 1995; the revisions were
positive when the dollar appreciated and negative
when the dollar depreciated. In many quarters,
the changes were considerably smaller.
The improved estimates do not cover U.S.
banks' customers' claims denominated in foreign
currencies, because the currency composition of
these asset holdings is not available.

Nonbank claims and liabilities
Beginning with estimates for the first quarter of
1997, BEA is including estimates of capital flows
for U.S. nonbank claims on and liabilities to unaffiliated foreigners in its preliminary estimates
for the current quarter. The last time these capital flows had been included in the preliminary
estimates was the fourth quarter of 1978.
Revisions to the Treasury Department's reporting forms at yearend 1978 extended the reporters'
filing date, which made data unavailable to BEA
for the preliminary estimates. From the first
quarter of 1979 onward, BEA has published an
"n.a." (not available) for these capital flows in
the current quarter because it had no basis on
which to make a reliable and accurate estimate.
In recent years, financing activity and capital flows in these accounts, particularly with
Caribbean finance centers, have become large and
significant. Consequently, BEA began exploring
data sources that would provide the basis for a
timely estimate of these capital flows. The Federal
Reserve Board has made available to BEA preliminary data from its reports of offshore banks'
asset and liability positions with U.S. banks and
nonbanks.
BEA'S estimates are based on changes in the
Caribbean banks' asset and liability positions
with U.S. nonbanks. Although U.S. nonbank
flows with banks in the Caribbean are a major
part of total U.S. nonbank flows, a substantial
part of U.S. nonbank flows remains uncovered. There are no acceptable source data upon
which to base reliable preliminary estimates of
transactions with other areas of the world.
Because of this difficulty, it is expected that
there will be large revisions between preliminary
and revised estimates. However, these revisions
should be smaller than those under the old procedure, which implicitly assumed that nonbank
flows were zero for the preliminary estimates.
The new procedure is used only for the preliminary estimates. For the revised estimates
published 90 days later, normal estimation procedures based on complete survey results from
several data sources will continue to be used.
Goods
BEA and the Bureau of the Census seasonally adjust the goods export and goods import estimates
at the five-digit end-use commodity category
levels, which is the most detailed level of enduse classification available. This level of detail is
chosen because of the need to track specific trade

patterns and to relate those patterns to categories
of final demand included in the national income
and product accounts. Nearly 150 commodity
categories are tested annually for seasonal variation. Almost 80 percent of total export value and
almost 90 percent of total import value exhibit
stable seasonality.
An aggregate series that is derived as the sum
of individually seasonally adjusted series may in
some instances exhibit "residual" seasonality. The
amount of "residual" seasonality is usually small,
and no adjustments are made to the aggregate
series, because of a strong preference to have as
accurate as possible measures for each of the individual series and to have individual series that
sum to the aggregate series. However, in recent
years, the amount of "residual" seasonality for
exports has increased. Consequently, a concerted
effort was made this year to reduce the "residual"
seasonality for goods exports. Little "residual"
seasonality exists for good imports.
For exports, "residual" seasonality is traceable
mostly to the commodity categories of civilian
aircraft and parts and of industrial, service, and
agricultural-type machinery. The component series of civilian aircraft and parts contain large
amounts of irregular and nonsystematic variation, which make it difficult to detect whether a
pattern of stable seasonality exists. Given the difficulty in determining reliable seasonality in this
series, this problem seems rather intractable, and
civilian aircraft and parts can be expected to continue as a contributor to "residual" seasonality in
total exports. However, some progress has been
made with the machinery category. By combining several of the individual machinery series into
a single category and by developing seasonal factors based on that single category, rather than on
each component series separately, it was possible to reduce significantly "residual" seasonality
in total exports. This combination of individual machinery categories will be reevaluated at
the time of next year's annual revision. Staff at
the Bureau of the Census' Foreign Trade Division
conducted this research.
A number of additional series are adjusted for
seasonal or for trading-day variations for the
first time this year, which also helps reduce the
"residual" seasonality of total exports.
BEA and the Census Bureau seasonally adjusted
end-use series continue to sum to seasonally
adjusted total exports and total imports.

but the slowdown was more pronounced for U.S.
assets abroad. Although somewhat reduced, both
increases remained large by historical standards.
The statistical discrepancy—errors and omissions in recorded transactions—was an outflow
of $18.1 billion in the first quarter, compared with
an outflow of $3.3 billion in the fourth.
The following are highlights for the first
quarter of 1997:

The international transactions accounts have undergone
substantial revision as a result of major improvements in estimating methodologies and in the development of new source
data. For a discussion of these changes, see "U.S. International

1996 (table A, chart i).1 A shift to a deficit on investment income and an increase in the deficit on
goods and services were partly offset by a decrease
in net unilateral transfers.
In the capital account, net recorded capital
inflows were $59.1 billion in the first quarter,
compared with $40.1 billion in the fourth. Increases in U.S. assets abroad and increases in
foreign assets in the United States both slowed,

• The balance on investment income shifted to
a deficit from a surplus, and the deficit on
goods and services increased.
• Capital outflows for U.S. assets abroad
slowed; outflows for claims reported by U.S.
banks slowed moderately, while outflows
for net U.S. purchases of foreign securities
slowed sharply.
« Capital inflows for foreign assets in the
United States also slowed, particularly for liabilities reported by U.S. banks and for net
foreign purchases of U.S. Treasury securities.

Quantity, measured in chained (1992) dollars,
increased 4 percent (table C).
Nonagricultural exports increased $5.8 billion,
or 4 percent, to $148.2 billion. Quantity increased
5 percent, and prices decreased i percent. In
value, capital goods accounted for nearly one-half
of the increase. Among capital goods, onethird of the increase was attributable to surges
in industrial engines, pumps, and compressors
and in other industrial, agricultural, and service
industry machinery. Another one-third was attributable to computers, peripherals, and parts
and to semiconductors; these shipments are just
above the levels reached at the end of 1995 before oversupply conditions limited shipments for
much of 1996. The remaining one-third was attributable to civilian aircraft, engines, and parts,
which remain exceptionally strong. Nonagricultural industrial supplies and materials increased
as a result of higher shipments of chemicals
and nonmonetary gold. Shipments of passenger
cars and parts were sharply higher, particularly
shipments to Canada, which rebounded from a
strike-depressed fourth quarter.
Agricultural exports decreased $1.1 billion, or
7 percent, to $14.3 billion. Quantity decreased 7
percent. Prices of most major agricultural commodities fell sharply in the last two quarters of
1996 but changed little in the first quarter of
1997. Previously, prices had risen strongly from
the fourth quarter of 1994 through the second
quarter of 1996.
Soybeans decreased $0.5 billion, or 23 percent,
mostly to China, Europe, and Brazil. In contrast to most major commodities, the price of
soybeans increased 12 percent in the first quarter,
following a rj-percent decline in the fourth quarter. Soybean prices are now only 3 percent below
last year's high in the third quarter.
Corn decreased $0.4 billion, or 20 percent,
mainly to Korea and Mexico. The price of corn

The dollar's sharp advance during the quarter was encouraged by a further increase in both
short- and long-term interest-rate differentials in
favor of U.S. dollar assets. U.S. interest rates were
pushed higher, partly by a strengthening rather
than a moderation in U.S. economic activity and
partly by expectations that U.S. monetary policy
might be tightened. In late March, the Federal Reserve raised the target federal funds rate
by 25 basis points to 5.5 percent Abroad, Germany's economic growth gained momentum but
remained below that in the United States, and
market participants remained concerned about
the economic health of Japanese financial institutions. Uncertainties concerning the start of the
European Monetary Union may have temporarily strengthened the mark against the dollar late
in the quarter.
The dollar's strong appreciation over the past
2 years has returned its level against the mark to
close to that in late 1993 and early 1994, while its
level against the yen is now well above that in the
same time period (chart 2).

Current Account
Goods and services
The deficit on goods and services increased to
$29.1 billion in the first quarter from $2602 billion
in the fourth. The deficit on goods increased to
$49.8 billion from $48.2 billion, and the surplus
on services decreased to $20.7 billion from $22.0
billion.
Goods.—The deficit on goods increased to $49.8
billion in the first quarter from $48.2 billion
in the fourth, as imports increased more than
exports.
Exports.—Exports increased $4.7 billion, or 3
percent, to $162.6 billion in the first quarter.

increased i percent, following decreases of 31 percent in the fourth quarter and n percent in the
third. The price of corn is now 37 percent below
its high in the second quarter of 1996.
Wheat decreased $0.3 billion, or 25 percent,
mostly to Egypt. The price of wheat decreased 2
percent and is now 27 percent below its high in
the second quarter of 1996.
Imports.—Imports increased $6.3 billion, or 3
percent, to $212.3 billion in the first quarter.
Quantity, measured in chained (1992) dollars,
increased 5 percent (table C).
Nonpetroleum imports increased $7.7 billion,
or 4 percent, to $193.1 billion. Quantity increased
6 percent, and prices decreased i percent. In
value, $2.5 billion of the increase was attributable
to unusually large shipments of completed autos from Canada. Increases also occurred in
nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials, mainly in nonmonetary gold and chemicals.
Among capital goods, computers, peripherals,
and parts increased; quarterly imports now exceed the levels reached in late 1995 before oversupply conditions limited imports for much of
1996, Semiconductors, which were subject to
the same oversupply conditions, have not yet
returned to their late-1995 quarterly level.
Petroleum imports decreased $1.4 billion, or 7
percent, to $19.2 billion. The average number
of barrels imported daily decreased to 9.85 million from 10.13 million. The average price per
barrel decreased to $21.31 from $22.22. Domestic consumption, production, and inventories all
decreased.

creased. U.S. travelers abroad spent $13.1 billion,
up from $12.2 billion. Expenditures overseas accounted for most of the increase; expenditures in
Mexico and Canada also increased.
Passenger fare receipts were unchanged at $5.3
billion, and passenger fare payments were $4.3
billion, up from $4.1 billion, as a result of an
increase in overseas travelers.
"Other" transportation receipts were unchanged at $7,1 billion. "Other" transportation
payments increased to $7.3 billion from $7.2
billion, as a result of an increase in freight
payments.
Royalties and license fee receipts were unchanged at $7.7 billion, and payments increased
to $1.9 billion from $1.8 billion.
"Other" private services receipts increased to
$19.7 billion from $19.1 billion, as most services
increased by small amounts. "Other" private
services payments increased to $11.3 billion from
$11.0 billion.
Transfers under U.S. military sales contracts
dropped to $3.3 billion from $4.0 billion in
the fourth quarter, when there were shipments
of unusually large amounts of major equipment. Direct defense expenditures abroad were
up slightly to $2.8 billion.
Investment income
The balance on investment income shifted to a
deficit of $3.1 billion in the first quarter from a
surplus of $1.3 billion in the fourth.

Balances by area.—As noted earlier, the deficit on
goods increased to $49.8 billion in the first quarter from $48.2 billion in the fourth. The deficit
with industrial countries increased to $23.5 billion from $23.0 billion; an increase in the deficit
with Japan was partly offset by a decrease in the
deficit with Western Europe. The deficit with
non-opEC developing countries increased to $20.1
billion from $18.4 billion; the rise was mostly accounted for by Asian countries. The deficit with
OPEC members decreased to $6.2 billion from $6.7
billion.

Direct investment income.—Receipts of income on
U.S. direct investment abroad were $25.7 billion
in the first quarter, down from $26.9 billion in
the fourth, but still the second-highest quarter
on record. Earnings remained strong in Western
Europe. Payments of income on foreign direct
investment in the United States were $9.5 billion,
up from $7.8 billion, and only slightly below the
record $9.6 billion in the third quarter. Continued expansion in the U.S. economy, fewer drastic
cost-reduction efforts with their high initial costs,
and an expanded base of foreign-owned businesses have all contributed to the strong increase
in earnings over the past several years.

Services.—The surplus on services decreased to
$20.7 billion in the first quarter from $22.0 billion
in the fourth, as payments increased more than
receipts.
Foreign visitors to the United States spent $18.6
billion, up from $18.2 billion,, Receipts from
overseas, Mexican, and Canadian visitors all in-

Portfolio investment income.—Receipts of income
on "other" private investment were $28.4 billion
in the first quarter, up from $27.2 billion in the
fourth, mostly as a result of higher claims. Payments of income on "other" private investment
were $27.5 billion, up from $26.1 billion, mostly
as a result of higher liabilities.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Receipts of income on U.S. Government assets
were $0.8 billion, down slightly from $0.9 billion. Payments of income on U.S. Government
liabilities were $21.1 billion, up from $19.9 billion, as a result of substantial accumulations of
U.S. Treasury securities by foreigners in recent
quarters.
Unilateral transfers
Net unilateral transfers were $8.7 billion in the
first quarter, down from $11.9 billion in the
fourth; fourth-quarter transactions had been
boosted by special grants to Israel to finance
military and economic purchases.
Capital Account
Net recorded capital inflows—that is, net changes
in U.S. assets abroad less net changes in foreign
assets in the United States—were $59.1 billion in
the first quarter, compared with $40.1 billion in
the fourth. Increases in U.S. assets abroad slowed
more than increases in foreign assets in the
United States. Although somewhat reduced, both
increases remained large by historical standards.

claims of foreign-owned banks, whose claims increased by an even larger amount in the first
quarter than in the fourth. The funding to support the increases in claims of foreign-owned
banks over the past two quarters came both
from domestic deposit growth and from foreign
sources.
As in the fourth quarter, some interbank
lending supported large net purchases of U.S.
Treasury and corporate securities, the gradual
strengthening of economic activity in Europe,
and the large numbers of acquisitions and mergers. Most interbank lending was to banks in
Europe, both in the United Kingdom and in continental Europe. Interbank demand for dollar
credits in Canada and Southeast Asian countries
strengthened.
The increase in claims on other private foreigners slowed sharply, largely as international bond

U.S. assets abroad
U.S. assets abroad increased $99.8 billion in the
first quarter, compared with an increase of $154.4
billion in the fourth.
U.S. official reserve assets.—U.S. official reserve
assets decreased $4.5 billion in the first quarter, following an increase of $0.3 billion in the
fourth. The decrease in the first quarter resulted
from Mexico's final repayment of $3.5 billion
on its drawings under medium-term swap arrangements with the U.S. Treasury. With this
repayment, the medium-term swap arrangements
were terminated.
Claims reported by banks.—U.S. claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks increased $56.6
billion in the first quarter, compared with an increase of $66.7 billion in the fourth. The increase
in interbank claims payable in dollars slowed
sharply from an exceptionally large increase in
the fourth quarter; the increase in claims on
other private foreigners, largely on international
bond mutual funds in the Caribbean, also slowed
sharply.
Interbank claims of U.S.-owned banks shifted
by a large amount to a sizable decrease. This
shift was partly offset by an increase in interbank

mutual funds in Caribbean financial centers sold
U.S. Treasury securities in the first quarter after
borrowing heavily to finance exceptionally large
net purchases in the fourth.
Banks' domestic customers' claims increased
$13.2 billion, compared with an increase of $11.5
billion. An increase in customers' deposits in European and Caribbean banks was especially large
and more than accounted for the increase in the
first quarter.
Banks' own claims payable in foreign currencies increased $7.7 billion; the increases were
widespread, including increases on banks' own
offices in the United Kingdom, Japan, and
Canada. These claims now exclude, for the first
time, the effect of unrealized currency translation
gains and losses.2
Foreign securities.—Net U.S. purchases of foreign
securities were $14.5 billion in the first quarter,
down from $30.2 billion in the fourth. The decline was more than accounted for by a drop in
net U.S. purchases of foreign bonds to $2.8 billion
from $19.6 billion. Net U.S. purchases of foreign
stocks increased to $11.8 billion from $10.6 billion
(chart 3).
Transactions in outstanding bonds shifted to
net sales of $8.6 billion, in contrast to net
purchases of $7.0 billion. Net sales occurred
in all major markets, including Western Europe, Canada, Latin America, and Asia excluding
Japan. Foreign new bond issues in the United
States remained strong at $15.0 billion but were
down from $17.4 billion.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign stocks were $11.8
billion, up $1.2 billion but still less than one-half
the record set in the first quarter of 1996. The
increase in the first quarter of 1997 was largely
from the Caribbean and Japan; net purchases
from Europe slowed.
Direct investment.—Net capital outflows for U.S.
direct investment abroad were $24.6 billion in
the first quarter, down from $30.9 billion in the
fourth. However, net equity capital outflows
more than doubled. The pickup was mostly in
Europe, where major acquisitions in soft drinks,
health products, pharmaceuticals, and financial
services boosted first-quarter outflows. Merger
and acquisition activity in Europe, as well as the
United States, remains near an all-time higho In
contrast to the merger boom of the late 1980'$,
when a large share of mergers were across industries, mergers in the mid-i99o's have been

highly focused, featuring consolidations within
industries and within major product lines. Intercompany debt transactions shifted by a very
large amount to net inflows. As has been the case
for the past several years, large quarter-to-quarter
swings in intercompany debt have resulted from
sizable swings in transactions between finance
affiliates and parents in the securities industry Reinvested earnings decreased but remained
strong.

Foreign assets in the United States
Foreign assets in the United States increased
$158.9 billion in the first quarter, compared with
an increase of $194.6 billion in the fourth.
Foreign official assets.—Foreign official assets in
the United States increased $28.3 billion in the
first quarter, compared with an increase of $33.1
billion in the fourth. Assets of industrial countries increased much more strongly in the first
quarter than in the fourth, while assets of developing countries increased much less strongly
than in the fourth (table D).
Liabilities reported by banks,—U.S. liabilities reported by U.S. banks increased $18.9 billion in
the first quarter, compared with a $39.0 billion
increase in the fourth. Interbank borrowing of
dollars by both U.S.-owned and foreign-owned
banks slowed sharply from an exceptionally large
increase in the fourth quarter. Although U.S.owned banks had little need for foreign funds to
support lending activity abroad in the first quarter, foreign-owned banks continued to use ftinds
borrowed from abroad, in addition to U.S. deposit growth, to support their lending activity
abroad.
Liabilities payable in foreign currencies increased $8.5 billion, in contrast to a $6.4 billion
decrease in the fourth quarter. Borrowing in the
first quarter was from all major geographic areas.
These liabilities now exclude, for die first time,
unrealized currency translation gains and losses.2
U.S. Treasury securities.—Net foreign purchases
of U.S. Treasury securities were strong at $42.9
billion in the first quarter, but were down from
an exceptional $67.5 billion in the fourth.
Most of the drop was attributable to international bond mutual funds in the Caribbean,
reflecting large net sales in February and March
that were perhaps generated by the large price
declines associated with the 40-basis-point rise in
U.S. interest rates over the quarter; net purchases
by mutual funds had been especially strong in

November and December. Net purchases from
other areas remained strong, especially from the
United Kingdom, where much foreign trading activity is centered, and from Japan and other Asian
countries. Interest yields on U.S. Government
bonds relative to mark and yen bonds were large
at the beginning of the quarter and increased further by the end of the quarter. These differentials
are now at levels last reached in 1989 (chart 4).

Other U.S. securities.—Net foreign purchases of
U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securities
were a record $38.7 billion in the first quarter,
up from $32.4 billion in the fourth. Net foreign
purchases of foreign stocks were sharply higher
at $10.3 billion, up from $1.3 billion; net foreign
purchases of bonds were $28.4 billion, down from
$31.1 billion (chart 3).
Net foreign purchases of U.S. stocks jumped
sharply, mostly as a result of net purchases
by Western Europe. Accelerating U.S. stock
prices, strong dollar appreciation, and continued
growth of the U.S. economy with stable inflation were contributing factors. Net sales by Japan
accelerated.
New bond issues sold abroad by U.S. corporations were a record $20.7 billion, up sharply from
$14.6 billion in the fourth quarter; the previous

record was $16.5 billion in the first quarter of 19950
The upward trend in U.S. long-term interest
rates and continued strong demand for dollardenominated debt instruments led to record
placements by U.S. corporations in the Eurobond

purchases of federally-sponsored agency bonds
were $8»o billion, down from $12.3 billion.
Direct investment—Net capital inflows for foreign direct investment in the United States were
$21.7 billion in the first quarter, up from $17.7 bil-




lion in the fourth. Equity capital inflows, though
down somewhat from the fourth quarter when
acquisitions in the insurance and securities industries were especially large, remained strong in the
first quarter, when acquisitions in the chemicals
and securities industries were large. Intercompany debt inflows strengthened, also reflecting
the recent surge in foreign-affiliated funding of
new foreign investment in the United States.
Reinvested earnings were higher, partly reflecting
improved earnings of affiliates.

FOOTNOTES TO U.S. INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS TABLES 1-1OA
Genera! notes for all tables: P Preliminary. 'Less than $500,000 (±)
D
Suppressed to avoid disclosure of data of individual companies.
Table 1:
1. Credits, +: Exports of goods, services, and income; unilateral transfers to United States; capital inflows (increase
in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in U.S. assets); decrease in U.S. official reserve assets; increase in foreign
official assets in the United States.
Debits, -: Imports of goods, services, and income; unilateral transfers to foreigners; capital outflows (decrease
in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or increase in U.S. assets); increase in U.S. official reserve assets; decrease in foreign
offical assets in the United States.
2. Excludes exports of goods under U.S. military agency sales contracts identified in Census export documents,
excludes imports of goods under direct defense expenditures identified in Census import documents, and reflects various
other adjustments (for valuation, coverage, and timing) of Census statistics to balance of payments basis; see table 2.
3. Includes some goods: Mainly military equipment in line 4; major equipment, other materials, supplies, and petroleum
products purchased abroad by U.S. military agencies in line 18; and fuels purchased by airline and steamship operators in
lines 7 and 21.
4. Includes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs.
5. Beginning in 1982, these lines are presented on a gross basis. The definition of exports is revised to exclude U.S.
parents' payments to foreign affiliates and to include U.S. affiliates' receipts from foreign parents. The definition of imports
is revised to include U.S. parents' payments to foreign affiliates and to exclude U.S. affiliates' receipts from foreign parents.
6. Beginning in 1982, the "other transfers" component includes taxes paid by U.S. private residents to foreign
governments and taxes paid by private nonresidents to the U.S. Government.
7. For all areas, amounts outstanding March 31,1997, were as follows in millions of dollars: Line 34,67,222; line 35,
11,050; line 36,9,879; line 37,13,846; line 38,32,447. Data are preliminary.
8. includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
9. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible and nonconvertible bonds
and notes.
10. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere, and of debt securities of
U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
11. Includes, primarily, U.S. Government liabilities associated with military agency sales contracts and other
transactions arranged with or through foreign official agencies; see table 4.
12. Consists of investments in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations and State and local
governments. ,
13. Conceptually, the sum of lines 70 and 62 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the national income and product
accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the NIPA's(a) includes adjustments to the international
transactions accounts for the treatment of gold, (b) includes adjustments for the different geographical treatment of transactions with U.S. territories and Puerto Rico, and (c) includes services furnished without payment by financial pension
plans except life insurance carriers and private noninsured pension plans. A reconciliation of the balance on goods and
services from the international accounts and the Ml PA net exports appears in the "Reconciliation and Other Special Tables"
section in this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. A reconciliation of the other foreign transactions in the two sets of
accounts appears in table 4.5 of the full set of NIPA tables (published annually in the July issue of the SURVEY).
Additional footnotes for historical data in June issues of the SURVEY:
14. For 1974, includes extraordinary U.S. Government transactions with India See "Special U.S. Government
Transactions," June 1974 SURVEY, p. 27.
15. For 1978-83, includes foreign currency-denominated notes sold to private residents abroad.
16. Break in series. See Technical Notes in the June 1989, June 1990, June 1992, June 1993, June 1995, July 1996,
and July 1997 issues of the SURVEY,

Table 2:

1. Exports, Census basis, represent transactions values, f.as. U.S. port of exportation, for all years; imports, Census
basis, represent Customs values (see Technical Notes in the June 1982 SURVEY), except for 1974-81, when they represent
transactions values, f.a.s. foreign port of exportation (see June issues of the SURVEY for historical data).
From 1983 forward, both unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data have been prepared by BEA from "actual" and
"revised statistical" month data supplied by the Census Bureau (see Technical Notes in the December 1985 SURVEY).
Seasonally adjusted data reflect the application of seasonal factors developed jointly by Census and BEA. The seasonally adjusted data are the sum of seasonally adjusted five-digit end-use categories (see Technical Notes in the June
1980 SURVEY, in the June 1988 SURVEY, and in the June 1991 SURVEY). Prior to 1983, annual data are as published by
the Census Bureau, except that for 1975-80 published Census data are adjusted to include trade between the U.S. Virgin
Islands and foreign countries.
2. Beginning in 1990, the Census Bureau replaced its compiled export statistics with counterpart Canadian import
statistics. Similarly, Statistics Canada replaced its compiled export statistics with counterpart U.S. import statistics. This
exchange of data has eliminated the need for the inland freight adjustment on U.S. exports, but not on U.S. imports.
3. Adjustments in lines A5 and A13, B12, B47, and B82 reflect the Census Bureau's reconciliation of discrepancies
between the goods statistics published by the United States and the counterpart statistics published in Canada These

NOTE.—Country data are based on information available from U.S. reporting sources, in some instances the statistics
may not necessarily reflect the ultimate foreign transactor. For instance: U.S. export statistics reflect country of reported
destination; in many cases the exports may be transshipped to third countries (especially true for the Netherlands and
Germany). The geographic breakdown of security transactions reflects country with which transaction occurred but may not
necessarily reflect the ultimate sources of foreign funds or ultimate destination of U.S. funds. Data for individual countries
within the European Union (6) may not add to the published totals for the European Union (6), because in several instances
estimates for the group are not available for each country. In addition, country data may not add to the European Union (6)
totals because of rounding.

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

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

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

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

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

Residual

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

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

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

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

NOTE.—Estimates for nonfarm industries other than manufacturing and trade for 1986 and earlier periods are
b the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). Manufa estimates for 1981 and earlier periods and trade estimates and earlier periods are based on the 1972 SIC; later estim these industries are based on the 1987 SIC.
The resulting discontinuities are small.

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

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

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

1. Consists of final sales and change in business inventories of new autos assembled in the United States.
2. Consists of personal consumption expenditures, producers' durable equipment, and gross government investment.
NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines, excluding the
lines in the addenda.

commercial participant amusements.
24. Consists of net receipts of lotteries and expenditures for purchases of pets and pet care services, cable
TV, film processing, photographic studios, sporting and recreation camps, video cassette rentals, and recreational
services, not elsewhere classified.
25. For private institutions, equals current expenditures (including consumption of fixed capital) less receiptssuch as those from meals, rooms, and entertainments—accounted for separately in consumer expenditures, and
less expenditures for research and development financed under contracts or grants. For government institutions,
equals student payments of tuition.
26. For private institutions, equals current expenditures (including consumption of fixed capital) less receiptssuch as those from meals, rooms, and entertainments—accounted for separately in consumer expenditures. For government institutions, equals student payments of tuition. Excludes child day care services, which are included in
religious and welfare activities.
27. Consists of (1) fees paid to commercial, business, trade, and correspondence schools and for educational
services, not elsewhere classified, and (2) current expenditures (including consumption of fixed capital) by research
organizations and foundations for education and research.
28. For nonprofit institutions, equals current expenditures (including consumption of fixed capital) of religious, social welfare, foreign relief, and political organizations, museums, libraries, and foundations. The expenditures are
net of receipts—such as those from meals, rooms, and entertainments—accounted for separately in consumer expenditures, and excludes relief payments within the United States and expenditures by foundations for education
and research. For proprietary and government institutions, equals receipts from users.
NOTES.—Consumer durable goods are designated durable goods (d.), nondurable goods (n.d.), and services (s.).
Estimates of foreign travel by U.S. residents (line 108) expenditures were $0.3 billion in 1981. Beginning with
1984, estimates of foreign travel by U.S. residents include substantially improved estimates of U.S. residents' foreign
travel and passenger fare expenditures. Estimates of expenditures in the United States by nonresidents (line 110)
include, beginning with 1981, nonresidents' student and medical care expenditures in the United States. Student
expenditures were $2.2 billion, and medical expenditures were $0.4 billion in 1981. Beginning with 1984, estimates
of expenditures in the United States by nonresidents include substantially improved estimates of nonresidents' travel
expenditures. Expenditures in the United States by nonresidents are subtracted from total personal consumption expenditures (line 110) because they are included in detailed type of expenditure estimates elsewhere in personal
consumption expenditures.
Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992 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.

Note.-Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.

NOTE.—In these triangles, the growth rate from one year to any other year can be found at the intersection
of the column for the earlier year and the row for the later year; thus, growth rates from one year to the next
are shown on the main diagonal. For example, from 1985 to 1995, real gross domestic product grew at an average
annual rate of 2.4 percent; from 1984 to 1985, it grew 3.6 percent

1. Nonfarm personal income is personal income less farm earnings. Farm earnings consists of proprietors' net
income; the cash wages, pay-in-kind, and other labor income of farm employees; and the salaries of officers of
corporate farms.
2. Percent changes are expressed at quarterly rates and are calculated from seasonally adjusted unrounded data.
NOTE.—The personal income level shown for the United States is derived as the sum of the State estimates;
it differs from the national income and product accounts (NIPA) estimate of personal income because, by definition,




it omits the earnings of Federal civilian and military personnel stationed abroad and of U.S. residents employed
abroad temporarily by private U.S. firms. It can also differ from the NIPA estimate because of different data sources
and revision schedules.

NOTE.-Totals shown for the United States differ from the NIPA estimates of gross domestic product (GDP) because State data exclude the statistical discrepancy (the difference between GDP and gross domestic income), the
compensation of Federal civilian and military personnel stationed abroad, and government consumption of fixed capital for military structures located abroad and for military equ pment, except office equipment; they may also differ
from the GDP estimates because of differences in revision schedules.

1. The personal income level shown for the United States is derived as the sum of the county estimates; it
differs from the national income and product accounts (NIPA) estimate of personal income because, by definition,
it omits the earnings of Federal civilian and military personnel stationed abroad and of U.S. residents employed
abroad temporarily by private U.S. firms. It can also differ from the NIPA estimate because of different data sources
and revision schedules.
2. Percent change was calculated from unrounded data.

Appendix A
Additional Information About BEA'S NIPA Estimates
Statistical Conventions
Changes in current-dollar GDP measure changes in the
market value of goods and services produced in the
economy in a particular period. For many purposes,
it is necessary to decompose these changes into quantity and price components. To compute the quantity
indexes, changes in the quantities of individual goods
and services are weighted by their prices. (Quantity
changes for GDP are often referred to as changes in
"real GDP.") For the price indexes, changes in the prices
for individual goods and services are weighted by
quantities produced. (In practice, the current-dollar
value and price indexes for most GDP components are
determined largely using data from Federal Government surveys, and the real values of these components
are calculated by deflation at the most detailed level
for which all the required data are available.)
Except for the most recent period, the annual and
quarterly changes in real GDP and prices are "chaintype" measures that are both based on the "Fisher
Ideal" formula that incorporates weights from two adjacent years. For example, the 1992-93 percent change
in real GDP uses prices for 1992 and 1993 as weights,
and the 1992-93 percent change in price uses quantities for 1992 and 1993 as weights. Because the quantity
and price index numbers calculated in this way are
symmetric, the product of the annual change in real
GDP and the annual change in prices equals the annual
change in current-dollar GDP.
In the most recent period, a variant of the formula is
used because only i year's information is available for
computing the index number weights. Accordingly,
BEA uses a single year's weights and, as a consequence,
the product of the percentage changes in the price
and quantity indexes does not equal the current-dollar
change during this period. For this reason, another
measure, known as the "implicit price deflator," is
presented in the NIPA tables. The implicit price deflator is calculated as the ratio of current-dollar value to
the corresponding chained-dollar value multiplied by
100.
In addition, BEA prepares measures of real GDP
and its components in a dollar-denominated form,
designated "chained (1992) dollar estimates" These estimates are computed by multiplying the 1992 currentdollar value of GDP, or of a GDP component, by the
corresponding quantity index number. For example,
if a current-dollar GDP component equaled $100 in
1992 and if real output for this component increased
by 10 percent in 1993, then the "chained (1992) dollar"




value of this component in 1993 would be $110 ($100
X 1.10). Note that percentage changes in the chained
(1992) dollar estimates and the percentage changes calculated from the quantity indexes are identical, except
for small differences due to rounding.
Because of the formula used for calculating real GDP,
the chained (1992) dollar estimates for detailed GDP
components do not add to the chained-dollar value
of GDP or to any intermediate aggregates. A "residual" line is shown as the difference between GDP and
the sum of the most detailed components shown in
each table. The residual generally is small close to the
base period but tends to become larger as one moves
further from it. In cases where the residual is large,
the table of contributions of the major components
to the change in real GDP provides a better basis for
determining the composition of GDP growth than the
chained-dollar estimates.
For quarters and months, the estimates are presented at annual rates, which show the value that would
be registered if the rate of activity measured for a
quarter or a month were maintained for a full year.
Annual rates are used so that time periods of different lengths— for example, quarters and years— may be
compared easily. These annual rates are determined
simply by multiplying the estimated rate of activity by
4 (for quarterly data) or 12 (for monthly data).
Percent changes in the estimates are also expressed
at annual rates. Calculating these changes requires a
variant of the compound interest formula:

where r is the percent change at an annual rate;
Xt is the level of activity in the later period;
X0 is the level of activity in the earlier period;
nt is the yearly periodicity of the data (for
example, i for annual data, 4 for quarterly,
or 12 for monthly); and
n is the number of periods between the
earlier and later periods (that is, t - o).
Quarterly and monthly NIPA estimates are seasonally
adjusted, if necessary. Seasonal adjustment removes
from the time series the average impact of variations that normally occur at about the same time and
in about the same magnitude each year— for example, weather, holidays, and tax payment dates. After
seasonal adjustment, cyclical and other short-term
changes in the economy stand out more clearly.

regional multipliers for the nearly 500 industries in the national input-output table. The multipliers are available for any county or
for any group of counties.
RIMS II multipliers have been used to estimate the total impact of a wide range of projects on output, earnings, and employment in
