IF May is taken as representative of

the second quarter as a whole, the
increase in personal income accelerated
sharply—to 14 percent (annual rate)
from 9 percent in the first quarter.
The second-quarter increase was $54%
billion, $18% billion more than in the
first quarter. About two-thirds of the
step-up was traceable to the severe
weather and the coal strike: The
weather and the strike had depressed
economic activity in the first quarter;
a rebound in the second quarter added
to economic activity. On a monthly
basis, the rebound was most apparent in
March and April; in May, the increase
in personal income tapered (chart 1).
The effects of the weather and the
strike on personal income showed up
mainly in an acceleration in wage and
salary disbursements in commodityproducing industries other than manufacturing, which include mining and
construction, and in nonfarm proprietors' income, which includes the earnings of entrepreneurs engaged in construction (table 1).
Farm proprietors' income was also a
major factor in the acceleration in
personal income. Farm income had
declined $2% billion (annual rate) in the
first quarter and increased $1% billion
in the second. First-quarter crop marketings had been held down by a
decline in their physical volume; in the
second quarter, marketings increased.
A sharp acceleration of livestock prices
helped maintain marketings even
though their physical volume declined
after increasing in the first quarter.
Deficiency—or target price—payments
under the Food and Agriculture Act of
1977 and farm inventories also contributed to the improvement in farm

income. Deficiency payments had dropped $1% billion in the first quarter but
increased a little in the second. Farm
inventory accumulation had slowed
sharply in the first quarter, holding
down the increase in farm income.
(Farm income equals farm production
less expenses, and the former is the
sum of marketings and inventory
change.) Inventories were reduced in
the second quarter, but their depressing
effect was much smaller.
Personal contributions for social insurance, which are deducted from income in arriving at personal income,
accounted for the remainder of the
acceleration. The first-quarter increase
had been unusually large because of
increases in the social security tax rate
for individuals and in the taxable
wage base.
Employment, hours, and productivity.—The labor market indicators in
table 2 also show the influence of the
weather and the strike, but—as will be
brought out later—some puzzles are
apparent. The pattern of quarterly

increases in employment as measured
by the household survey has been
uneven. The deceleration from 1.2
million in the fourth quarter to 0.7
million in the first, and the subsequent
acceleration to 1.1 million can be
understood in terms of the severe
weather in the first quarter. A similar
pattern in labor force increases is less
clearly attributable to the weather.

CIVILIAN LABOR FORCE: CHANGE FROM PRECEDING
MONTH
Employment

Reflecting the changes in employment
and in the labor force, unemployment
and the unemployment rate declined
only fractionally in the second quarter,
after substantial declines in the two
preceding quarters. On a monthly
basis, the unemployment rate has held
at about 6.1 percent since February
(chart 2).
The effects of the weather and the
strike are not apparent in total employment as measured in the establishment
survey. According to this survey, the
increase in employment accelerated in
both the first and second quarters.
However, establishment-based employment might show the effects of the
weather and strike if allowance were
made for the unusually large number

June 1978

of paid absences in the first quarter.
In addition, the underlying industry
detail on employment supplemented
by information on average weekly hours
does show weather and strike effects
in the industries directly involved.
Employment in mining was down
slightly in the fourth quarter and substantially in the first because of the
coal strike, which began in early
December and ended in late March.
In the second quarter, employment
in mining increased sharply. The large
decrease in hours in the first quarter
reflects the reduction in overtime that
had been worked in the fourth quarter
to build up inventories and to prepare
mines for the shutdown. The increase
in employment in contract construction

did not decelerate in the first quarter;
the effect of the severe weather appears
to have been on hours. The rebound
in the second quarter was visible in
both employment and hours.
The other large changes in recent
quarters were in manufacturing and
trade, where employment increases
accelerated in the first quarter and
decelerated in the second. In contrast,
hours dropped in the first quarter and
increased in the second. These developments are particularly puzzling in
manufacturing, where production declined in the first quarter. The firstquarter acceleration in employment has
been attributed to labor hoarding.
However, in the past, labor hoarding
usually involved the retention of labor
in the face of reductions in production
that were expected to be temporary.
In the first quarter, extensive hiring of
labor occurred. To say that labor is
hired in anticipation of increases in
production posits a form of hoarding
that has been rare in the past.
Another puzzle relates to output per
hour in the business economy. Productivity in the business economy (other
than farm and housing) declined sharply
in the first quarter, when there was
little change in real output. In the
second quarter, as will be suggested
later, a substantial increase in output
appears to have occurred.1 But the increase in total hours appears to have
been of the same order of magnitude,
suggesting only a small increase in
productivity. Such a result would be
surprising, because much larger productivity increases have usually accompanied substantial output increases.
Developments in productivity also seem
puzzling if comparisons are made be1. The major source data that shed light on second-quarter
production as reflected in the national income and product
accounts are limited to 1 or 2 months of the quarter, and in
some cases are preliminary. These data are: For personal consumption expenditures (PCE), April and May retail sales, unit
sales of autos through the first 10 days of June, and sales of
trucks for April and May; for nonresidential fixed investment,
the same data for autos and trucks as for P C E , April construction put in place, April manufacturers' shipments of
equipment, and business investment plans for the quarter;
for residential investment, April construction put in place, and
April and May housing starts; for change in business inventories,
April book values for manufacturing and trade, and unit
fauto inventories through May; for net exports of goods and
services, April merchandise trade; for government purchases of
goods and services, Federal unified budget outlays for April,
State and local construction put in place for April, and State
and local employment for April and May; and for prices, the
Consumer Price Index for April, and the Producer Price
Indexes for April and May.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
tween the second half of 1977 and the
second quarter of 1978. They suggest
little change in productivity over the
last half year, as employment increased
in line with output and average weekly
hours returned to about previous levels.

Disposition of personal income
Personal taxes increased about $10
billion (annual rate) in the second
quarter, compared with only $2 billion
in the first. In the first quarter, Federal
personal income taxes were held down
about $6 billion by heavy refunds resulting from provisions of the Tax
Reduction and Simplification Act of
1977. Under the Act, liabilities had
been reduced effective January 1, 1977,
but withholding rates were not cut
until June 1. Also, the increase in
withheld taxes was small, because of
the weakness in wages and salaries. The
large second-quarter increase in personal taxes reflected the absence of
legislated changes and the strengthening
of wages and salaries.
Accordingly, disposable personal income accelerated $8 billion (annual
rate) less than personal income (chart
3). Further, if allowance is made for
the increase in prices of personal consumption expenditures (PCE), which—
as measured by the implicit price
deflator for PCE—appear to have
increased at about the same rate as
in the first quarter, real disposable
income appears to have increased about
4 percent. Setting aside unusual quarters, an increase of this size is well
in line with the increases that have
occurred in recent years.
Real PCE increased about 7 percent
(annual rate) in the second quarter,
compared with a small decline in the
first quarter and a 9K percent increase
in the fourth quarter of 1977. The unusual strength was in motor vehicles,
mainly new autos. The increase in PCE
on other goods and services was in line
with the increase in real disposable income. Among these goods and services,
PCE on fuel oil and coal and on electricity and gas declined; first-quarter expenditures for home heating had been
unusually high because of the severe
weather. Real PCE on food declined
again after an extraordinarily large increase in the fourth quarter. (Sharp

changes in this series may partly be due
to the difficulty of synchronizing the
price and current-dollar series.) Offsetting these declines, PCE on furniture
and equipment and on clothing and
shoes showed strong increases; these
expenditures had dropped substantially
in the first quarter.
The very large increase in real PCE
on new autos reflected the increase in

increased reflecting the depreciation
of the dollar as well as higher manufacturers' list prices. It does not seem,
however, that differential price movements have been the major factor in
the strength of sales of domestic small
autos.

Other second-quarter developments
Setting aside the effects of the
weather, fixed nonresidential investment
was the only component of domestic
final sales other than PCE that showed
strength in the second quarter. Investment in nonresidential structures continued to increase; the strength of

motor vehicles. Business plans for plant
and equipment expenditures are discussed later in this issue of the SURVEY.
Residential investment appears to
have declined if an allowance is made
for the effects^ of the weather. An
article later in this issue reviews the
3-year recovery in residential construction, and sheds some light on why a
decline may be underway.
Federal purchases of goods and
services declined in the second quarter.
The decline was accounted for by
redemptions by farmers of commodities

unit sales (chart 4). (These sales include
sales to other sectors, mainly business.)
Unit sales increased at an annual rate
of about 75 percent in the second quarter, after little change in the two preceding quarters. Sales exceeded 12 million units in April and May and are
likely to have averaged about 12.3 million for the quarter—an average not
attained since the second quarter of
1973. The increase in sales, which extended to imports, was stronger than
generally expected, and cannot be attributed to a significant extent to a
rebound from the severe weather. Inventories of domestic autos were drawn
down in May and probably in June;
production was being reduced in part
to prepare for model changeovers. By
May, the inventory-sales ratio had
fallen from 2.7 in January to about 2.2,
which approaches the ratio usually
considered normal. Sales of smaller
autos were especially strong. Until
recently, the prices of these autos increased less than prices of larger autos.
Also, prices of small domestic autos
have increased less than those of im-

poration under loan agreements, as
market prices of these commodities
continued to increase. In the national
income and product accounts, these
redemptions are treated as sales and
deducted from Federal purchases. In
estimating GNP, these sales are offset
by an addition to farm inventories.
Apart from purchases of structures,
State and local government purchases
do not appear to have increased much
in the second quarter. Hiring of public
service employees is leveling off, and
other purchases did not increase as
much as in the first quarter.
Information relating to secondquarter net exports is confined to
merchandise trade for April, and it is
difficult to judge what net exports for
the quarter as a whole will be. However,
it would not be surprising if real net
exports showed a significant improvement over the first quarter, partly
because of the favorable effects of the
prior depreciation of the dollar on
the merchandise trade balance. Thus,
the slide in net exports that occurred
over the past year may be bottoming
out, and it is likely that net exports
will cease to depress the increase in
final purchases of GNP.
Little is known about inventory
developments in the second quarter.
The information that is available as of
mid-June is confined to April, with
supplementary information about farm
inventories, autos, and coal. Uncertainty about inventories adds to the
difficulty of assessing the increase in
second-quarter GNP. If the effects of
the severe weather and the coal strike
are set aside, a first-quarter increase in
real GNP of somewhat less than the
trend rate of growth is indicated.
Setting aside the rebound from the
weather and the strike, the information
now available for the second quarter is
consistent with a continuation of such
a rate of growth.
The major sources of information
now available on GNP prices are shown




SUKVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
in chart 5. On the basis of this information, prices of goods and services other
than food are likely to have increased
a little more than in the first quarter.
Food prices accelerated sharply in the
second quarter as they had in the first.
In both quarters, prices of vegetables
and of meat—especially beef—were
major factors. Heavy rains in the West
that disrupted harvests led to higher
vegetable prices. Prices paid to farmers
for beef began to move up in the fall of
1977, and by early 1978 these increases
were apparent in retail prices. Beef

prices reflect reductions of supply,
which will persist, and continued
strength in consumer demand. The
recent upward revision of the Department of Agriculture's estimate of the
food price increase for 1978 from 6-8
percent to 8-10 percent was based
largely on these factors.
First-quarter

The 75-day revisions of the firstquarter national income and product
estimates, which are shown in table 3,
were minor.

1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventories
calculated from current-dollar inventories shown in this table is not the current-dollar change
in business inventories (CBI) components of G N P . The former is the difference between two
inventory stocks, each valued at end-of-quarter prices. The latter is the change in the physical
volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. I n addition, changes calculated
from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at annual rates.
3. Equals ratio of nonfarm inventories to final sales of business. These sales include a small
amount of final sales by farms.
NOTE.—Table 16: Inventories are classified as durable or nondurable as follows: For manufacturing, by the type of product produced by the establishment holding the inventory; for
trade, by the type of product sold by the establishment holding the inventory; for construction, durable; and for other nonfarm industries, nondurable. The industry classification is
based on the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification.
Table 17: The industry classification of compensation of employees, proprietors' income,

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

Revised Quarterly State Personal Income,
1969-77
iSTIMATES of quarterly State personal income for 1969-77 have been
revised to reflect the changes in annual
State personal income that were made
to incorporate the 1976 benchmark revisions in the national income and product accounts. The benchmark revisions
were discussed in Part I of the January
1976

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.

The changes in annual State personal
income were discussed in the August
1977 SURVEY. Revised estimates of
quarterly State personal income for
1958-68 will be available later this year.
The quarterly estimates of State personal income in this report were prepared using two separate methods. The
following is a summary of these
methods.
The first method was used to prepare
the estimates for 1969-76. These estimates are derived by allocating the
annual totals of the various income
components in each State to the quarters of the year by means of seasonally
adjusted allocating series. The estimates
are controlled to national quarterly
totals for each component.
The main data source used in allocating annual totals to quarters is the
wage and salary information obtained
from State unemployment insurance
programs (ES-202). For each State,
quarterly wages and salaries by industry division are seasonally adjusted
and then used to allocate the annual
industry wage and salary totals among
quarters. Wage and salary disbursements estimated in this way account




for an average of 54 percent of total
personal income in each State.
Income components that account for
another 14 percent are allocated using
data somewhat less suited to quarterly
income estimation. In this category are:
Unemployment insurance benefits, railroad payrolls, military payrolls, State
and local government payrolls, farm
proprietors' income, other labor income, and personal contributions for
social insurance. For the first four
components, data directly measuring
the quarterly distribution in each State
are seasonally adjusted and then used
as allocators. Seasonally adjusted cash
receipts from farm marketings are used
to allocate annual State estimates of
farm proprietors' income, and the
seasonally adjusted quarterly wage and
salary series are used to allocate other
labor income and personal contributions
for social insurance.
The remaining components—nonfarm proprietors' income; dividends,
personal interest income, and rental
income of persons; and most transfer
payments—together account for 32
percent of total income. They are
estimated by allocating annual State
estimates to the quarters by the national quarterly pattern for each component.
The second method was used to prepare the estimates for 1977. These estimates are obtained by extrapolating
the estimates for the fourth quarter of
1976. These extrapolators are generally
the same as the allocating series used

in the first method, with a major
exception. Wages and salaries for the
third and fourth quarters of 1977 were
estimated from Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data on State employment
and earnings obtained from BLS' 790
program; use of earnings information
from that program is confined to
durable and nondurable manufacturing.
The estimates for each component are
controlled to national totals.
There is no unadjusted counterpart
to the seasonally adjusted series, because most of the national series
required for the regional estimates are
available only on a seasonally aj dusted
basis.
State personal income estimates are
available on the following schedule:
Preliminary quarterly estimates are
available 4 months after the close of
each quarter, that is, in the July,
October, January, and April issues of
the

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS;

preliminary annual estimates derived
by summing four quarterly estimates,
which include changes resulting from
the reconciliation of the State and
county data, are in the April SURVEY;
revised annual estimates are in the
August SURVEY; and quarterly estimates incorporating the revised annual,
totals are in the October SURVEY.
NOTE.—The quarterly estimates of State
personal income were prepared by Robert L.
Brown and Robert M. Lipovsky with the aid
of Q. Francis Dallavalle and Frances Actie
under the supervision of Lowell D. Ashby
and Kenneth P. Berkman.

Residential Construction: Three Years of Recovery

Since its trough in the first quarter
of 1975, real private residential construction has increased by almost twothirds (chart 6)—far more than any
other final sales component of GNP.
This article deals with single-family and
multifamily structures, which account
for about two-thirds of residential construction, and, briefly, with mobile
homes and additions and alterations.1
The recovery has been centered in
single-family housing construction,
which has more than doubled in the
recovery, and now exceeds its 1972
peak. Major distinguishing characteristics of the recovery have been the
unusual attractiveness of homeownership as an investment, use of large
capital gains on existing houses to finance new house purchases, and the
emergence of Government-sponsored
mortgage pools as suppliers of credit.
Multifamily construction has recovered sharply from its extreme recession
low, but only to one-third of its 1973
peak. I t has been depressed as a result
of overbuilding in 1972-75. In addition,
the construction of rental units was
held back by a profit squeeze and that
of condominiums by special financial
difficulties. Government programs subsidizing moderate- and low-income families have become increasingly important in multifamily construction.

Single-Family Housing
Single-family construction has led the
recovery in residential construction. I t
was not as hard hit in the 1974-75
housing contraction as was multifamily

construction: I t did not decline as
steeply, and its recovery started earlier
and has proceeded more rapidly. Real
construction spending on single-family
structures totaled $34.0 billion in the
first quarter of 1978, down slightly from
the previous quarter as a result of the

severe weather, but more than double
the amount in its first quarter 1975
trough and 20 percent above its 1972
peak. The same pattern of recovery is
apparent in new private housing starts
(chart 7). The steady rise in these starts
carried the 1977 total to 1,451,000

units—about 10 percent above 1972.
The recovery has been strong in all
four major regions of the country, but
most vigorous in the West (chart 8,
top panel). New private single-family
housing starts in the West increased
over 230 percent from the first quarter
of 1975 to about 360,000 units in the
first quarter of 1978. Most of this
increase occurred in 1975 and 1976;
a cooling off in speculative markets in
California slowed starts in 1977. The
South, a region of net inmigration and
relatively low housing prices, has continued to account for the largest share
of starts. Starts in the North Central
region have increased at about the
national average; those in the Northeast
have increased more slowly.
A major factor underlying the strong
demand for new housing has been the
high rate of household formation,
averaging over 1.5 million per year in
the 1970's, compared with slightly
over 1 million in the 1960's. The higher
rate reflects the rapid rise in births
after World War II to a record in
excess of 4 million per year by 1954.
On the basis of projected household
formation and deterioration of existing
housing units, the Council on Wage
and Price Stability estimated average
annual demand for new single-family
housing at 1.3 million units for 197680. The fact that new single-family
starts in 1976 and 1977 did not exceed
this estimate suggests that the potential
demand for new single-family housing
will continue strong during the remainder of the 1970's.
Translation of potential demand into
actual spending for new housing is
dependent upon various economic factors, including prices of new houses,
affordability of housing, investment
aspects of homeownership, mortgage
market conditions, and availability of
new houses on the market.

mean sales price increased even faster—
45 percent.
The largest increases occurred in the
West and North Central regions, where
the median price climbed from about
$38,000 to about $57,000 (chart 10).
In the West, rapid population growth
and speculation, particularly in California, kept demand for new housing
well ahead of supply, putting strong
upward pressure on prices. In the
North Central region, the large increase
in prices partly reflected an increase in
the size of houses sold.
Increases in construction costs and

19
in lot prices contributed to the upsurge in new house prices. From the
first quarter of 1975 to the first quarter
of 1978, the Boeckh construction cost
index for residences increased 27 percent, reflecting substantial increases in
most cost elements. Average hourly
earnings in contract construction increased about 20 percent, lumber prices
about 70 percent, millwork prices about
40 percent, and concrete prices about
25 percent. Lot prices increased more
than 40 percent. Average lot size
changed little; most of the increase in
lot prices was due to higher land cost

and development costs related to
environmental, zoning, and other
requirements.
The measured increases in new singlefamily house prices reflect two factors
other than pure price increase. First,
there has been a shift in the sales mix
toward the West, where prices are considerably above the national average,
from the South, where prices are well
below average. Second, a part of the
measured price increase reflects quality
improvement, that is, an increase in
house size or the inclusion of more
amenities, such as fireplaces and central

Ajfordability of housing

The recent increases in single-family
housing prices have led to concern about
"affordability"—that is, the ability of
homeowners to meet the monthly mortgage payments and other costs associated with owning a single-family house.
A commonly used measure of the affordability of new housing is the ratio of
the median price of a new singlefamily house to median household income. Over the postwar period until
1970, the ratio averaged about 2.9.
Large Federal housing subsidies for lowincome families were the major factor
wmmmmmmmmmmmmmmi CHART 8 in reducing the ratio to 2.4 in the
early 1970's. From 1973 to 1976, median house prices rose more rapidly
than median income, returning the ratio
to its historic average. The median

air conditioning. The New Home Price
Index, a mean price that is weighted to
reflect 10 quality characteristics of
houses sold in 1974, increased 33% percent from 1974 to 1977. The difference
between this increase and the 39-percent increase in the mean sales price
is evidence of the improvement in the
quality of new houses sold. When the
change in sales mix is taken into
account, the estimate of the price increase in new single-family houses is
reduced an additional percentage point
to 32% percent.

Mortgage loan terms—including the
mortgage interest rate, the term to
maturity, and the loan-to-price ratio—
also affect the affordability of new
housing. Mortgage interest rates, although high by historical standards,
have remained relatively stable throughout the recovery. As shown in chart 11,
the contract interest rate on new homes
did not drop below 8.6 percent at any
time during 1975-77, and was inching
up in the last half of 1977 and into 1978.
These rates compare with just over 9
percent at the height of the credit
crunch in 1974 and 7^-8% percent in the
preceding boom. In recent years, initial
fees and charges—charges other than
insurance, property transfer, and title
search—have brought the effective rate
to about 9-9% percent. Because mortgage interest rates have remained relatively stable throughout the recovery,
they have not been a significant factor
in changing average monthly payments.
Like mortgage interest rates, nonrate
mortgage terms have changed little
during the recovery. The loan-to-price
ratio has remained about 75-76 percent since 1974, and the term to matu-

SUEVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1978

rity has ranged between 26 and 27 years.
As a consequence, average monthly
payments of a typical new house purchaser have increased in line with new
house prices. In the first quarter of 1978,
the average monthly payment for principal and interest on a median-price
new house was about $350, up 33 percent from the first quarter of 1975.
Other costs associated with the total
cost of homeownership—property taxes,
property insurance, maintenance and
repair, and fuel and utilities—did not
increase nearly as rapidly as new house
prices. The consumer price indexes for
property taxes and home maintenance
and repair costs increased 22 percent
from the first quarter of 1975 to the
first quarter of 1978. Property insurance
rates index increased 24% percent, and
fuel and utility costs 30 percent—
led by a 69%-percent increase in the
price of residential heating gas. With
the exception of fuel and utilities, these
increases were only slightly more than
the 20-percent increase in the Consumer
Price Index for all items.
Investment

aspects

Two aspects of the rapid increase in
new house prices have encouraged
purchases of new single-family houses.
First, the rapid increase in the price of
new houses has been accompanied by a
similar increase in the price of existing
houses. Large capital gains on existing
houses have been created by the nearly
36-percent increase in their mean price
(chart 9, bottom panel). Existing
houses, at a record 3,572,000, accounted for more than 80 percent of
total houses sold in 1977, compared
with 75 percent during the 1971-73
housing boom. This active market
suggests that substantial capital gains
have been monetized. It has been
argued that a part of the gains monetized by sales, and also gains monetized
by refinancing and taking out junior
mortgages on existing houses, have been
used to support personal consumption.
However, the gains on sales also have
provided substantial support to the
housing market by enabling owners to
trade-up to more expensive new or
existing houses.
Second, persistent inflation has en-




couraged the purchase of houses as a
form of investment, because existing
house prices have kept up with inflation
better than have most financial assets.
Also, as inflation pushes individuals
into higher tax brackets, the deductibility of mortgage interest payments
and property taxes in calculating Federal individual income tax liabilities
makes investment in houses increasingly attractive.
Further, more single persons have
been taking advantage of the investment and other aspects of homeowner-

21
ship. By 1977, about one-fifth of new
houses purchased were bought by
unmarried persons. One important
factor in this development has been
the removal of discriminatory barriers
against unmarried couples and single
persons seeking mortgages.
Mortgage finance
Residential mortgage lending regained its 1972 peak by late 1975 and
has since expanded to record levels.
This expansion reflects not only new

house sales but also the sales of existing houses. Because thrift institutions
account for the bulk of lending for
single-family houses, and because their
loans are mainly for single-family
houses, the expansion can be explained
in terms of developments affecting the
major thrifts—savings and loan associations (S. & L/s) and mutual savings
banks (MSB's).
The sensitivity of deposit flows—
a major source of funds for thrifts—to
market interest rates on securities with
maturities comparable to those of passbook-type deposits or savings certificates offered by thrifts is brought out
by a comparison of the top panel of
chart 12 with chart 13. Through the
end of 1974, securities yielded a higher
return than did thrift deposits; hence,
inflows slowed. Beginning in early 1975,
spreads narrowed, and after mid-1976
favored thrifts. Reflecting these movements, inflows increased and by mid1977 reached almost $60 billion (annual
rate). Under these conditions, thrifts
repaid the large volume of Federal
Home Loan Bank advances obtained
during the 1973-74 credit crunch and
made substantial increases, first in their
mortgage commitments, and then in
their lending. From a low of $11 billion
in the fourth quarter of 1974, thrifts
increased their lending to an annual
rate of about $65 billion in the last
half of 1977.
By mid-1977, spreads began favoring
the market securities and inflows,
which had jumped to a high of $83K
billion in the third quarter, fell to $54
billion in the fourth quarter and $34%
billion in the first quarter of 1978.
In order to maintain their mortgage
lending, S. & L.'s obtained larger advances from the Federal Home Loan
Banks. In the fourth quarter of 1977,
these advances were almost as large as
in the credit crunch. New mortgage
commitments dropped sharply in the
first quarter of 1978, and lending
dropped to $50% billion.
In response to these recent developments, measures have been taken to
increase the supply of funds for mortgage lending. In April, the Federal
Home Loan Bank Board reduced the




SUEVEY OF CUERENT BUSINESS
liquidity ratios required of S. & L.'s
effective May 1. The reductions—from
7 to 6% percent for the long-term liquidity ratio and from 3 to 2% percent for
the short-term liquidity ratio—were
designed to free funds for mortgages.
In May, the Federal Eeserve Board and
the Federal Home Loan Bank Board
approved the issuance of two new kinds
of high-yielding savings certificates:
a 6-month certificate with a $10,000
minimum denomination and a ceiling
rate ){ percentage point higher than the
average return on 6-month Treasury
bills, and a longer term certificate with
a minimum denomination of $1,000 on
which thrifts could offer as much as
8 percent. The Boards expect that these
new savings certificates will encourage
inflows to thrifts. So far, however, their
major effect has been to draw funds
from passbook accounts.
Government-sponsored

agency

activ-

ity.—Except for their mortgage pools,
Government-sponsored agencies have
been only a minor source of mortgage

June 1978

credit in the recovery. These agencies
operate primarily through the secondary mortgage market—that is, the
market in which previously created
mortgage securities are traded—to cushion the impact of the extremes of the
mortgage credit cycle. The Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA)
and, to a smaller extent, the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(FHLMC) purchase and hold mortgages, issuing debt of their own to
finance these purchases. As shown in
table 1, in 1974 and 1975 Governmentsponsored credit agencies added substantially to their holdings of l-to-4
family mortgages—of which nearly all
are single-family mortgages; in 1976,
when there was an ample supply of
private mortgage credit, they increased
their holdings only slightly.
However, the recent slackening in
deposit inflows has led thrifts to sell
mortgages in the secondary market.
Consistent with their role, both FNMA
and FHLMC have increased their comCHART 10

mitments to purchase mortgages.
(These commitments are promises to
purchase at a stated yield any time
within a specified period, usually 4
months but sometimes up to 12
months.) In the first quarter of 1978,
FNMA commitments increased to record levels; FHLMC commitments were
also high. Partly reflecting the high
commitment levels, 1 to 4 family mortgage holdings by Government-sponsored agencies increased $8 billion in
the first quarter.
Mortgage pools—which are created
when a group of mortgages is set aside in
a "pool" and securities that represent
shares in the pool are sold—have
emerged as a major supplier of credit
for single-family mortgages during the
recovery (table 1). Since 1974, credit
supplied for 1 to 4 family mortgages by
mortgage pools has grown rapidly. The
relatively small amount supplied in the
first quarter of 1978 reflects the fact that
mortgage originators preferred to sell
to FNMA because they could get higher
prices than by selling to pool-forming
agencies.
Both FHLMC and the Government
National Mortgage Association (GNMA)
are involved in the creation of mortgage
pools, either creating the pools themselves or guaranteeing the payments of




principal and interest of pools created
by others. Under the GNMA program,
which began in 1970 and is the largest
Federal mortgage pool program, private
originators set aside a package of mortgages meeting GNMA requirements
and issue securities on that package;
GNMA guarantees the payment of
principal and interest. The private
originators service the mortgages—that
is, collect the monthly payments—and
pass through the payments to the
holders of the securities—hence the
name "pass through securities." The
expansion in mortgage lending accounted for by GNMA mortgage pools has
been substantial; their lending in the
fourth quarter of 1977 was as large as
in the year 1974.
FHLMC sells two types of mortgage
pool instruments. In 1971, FHLMC
began to pool some of its purchases of
mortgages and sell mortgage participation certificates (PC's). Like GNMA,
FHLMC guarantees the payment of
principal and interest on the securities.
Recently, the attractiveness of PC's
has been enhanced by the formation of
dealer groups, which market PC's and

23
try to reach a wider spectrum of investors. In 1977, PC sales increased to
more than their 1971-76 sales combined.
The other instrument—guaranteed
mortgage certificates (GMC's)—was
introduced in 1975. Like PC's, GMC's
are shares in mortgage pools. They
differ from PC's in that the interest
payments are paid semiannually, and
a minimum amount of principal is
repaid annually; they may be redeemed
at par on specific dates 15 or 20 years
after issue, at the option of the holder.
In these respects, GMC's resemble
bonds. With the two types of mortgage
pool instruments, FHLMC reaches the
traditional mortgage investor as well
as the nontraditional.
Availability of housing
The translation of potential demand
for housing into actual spending is also
dependent upon the availability of new
houses. The volume of new singlefamily houses completed and under
construction continued to increase
throughout 1977. Completions totaled
1,258,000 in 1977, up substantially
from 1,034,000 in 1976 (table 2). At

end of the first quarter of 1978. A high
sales rate, however, held the ratio of new
houses for sale to houses sold below
6.0 throughout 1977. The inventory of
completed but unsold houses has remained very low—80,000 units—during
the recovery; there has been no buildup
such as occurred at the end of the
1971-73 housing boom.
Sales of new houses totaled 819,000
in 1977, up from 549,000 in 1975, and

the end of the first quarter of 1978,
781,000 houses were under construction, an all-time high. The large number of houses under construction and
the recent high monthly start rates
indicate that a large supply of houses
will be coming on the market at least
through the summer.
The inventory of new houses increased steadily from a late-1975 low
of 313,000 to a record 406,000 at the

considerably above the previous peak
of 718,000 in 1972. Recently, preselling
has been substantial; in 1977, houses
not yet under construction accounted
for 22 percent of all houses sold, compared with 19 percent at the previous
peak in 1972 and only 11% percent in
1974. The subtantial preselling reflected two previously mentioned factors: speculative pressure in some
markets, particularly in the West, and
slowness in other markets, particularly
the Northeast, where builders are
reluctant to start houses without firm
purchase commitments. Preselling may
support starts and construction for
some time, even if demand weakens.

Expenditures on mobile homes have
not recovered to the same extent as
those on site-built housing. Shipments
of mobile homes totaled 290,000 in the
first quarter of 1978, up 44 percent from
the 1975 trough, but far below the
1972-73 record of over 650,000 units.
The shortfall has been entirely in small
~
(under 14-feet wide) units; shipments
of large units are now higher than in
1972-73.
The average sales price of a new
mobile home was $14,200 in 1977, up
more than 50 percent from 1974.
1 1 1
A significant part of this increase reflected the shift to large units and the
inclusion of more amenities. Stricter
safety standards for mobile homes
issued by the Department of Housing
and Urban Development in 1976 have
added to both costs and quality.
The climate of mobile home financing
has improved somewhat since the
severe difficulties encountered during
the 1974-75 recession. As the recovery
progressed, repossession and delinquency rates on loans have fallen. The
repossession rate, after peaking at
nearly 6 per 1,000 loans outstanding
early in 1975, fell to less than 2 inl977, and
the delinquency rate—the percentage of
loans outstanding with payments overdue for at least 30 days—remained at
about 3.5 percent in 1977, about 1 per1 I I

1973 peak. Although held down somewhat by severe weather in the first
quarter of 1978, the pace of multifamily
starts had picked up rapidly in the
second half of 1977 (table 2), indicating
that further increases in construction
are likely.
The recovery in multifamily construction has been widespread, except
in the Northeast (chart 8, bottom
panel). In the West, starts have tripled
from the 1975 first-quarter recession
low, as a part of that region's construction boom. Multifamily construction in
the South was especially hard hit by
the 1974-75 collapse in the condominum
market, when starts fell to less than 12
percent of their 1972 peak. By the end
of 1977, starts in the South had recovered to over 200,000 units, before
dropping again in the first quarter.
Starts have recovered strongly in the
North Central region, but have not
yet approached the 1972 peak. The
recovery in the Northeast has been less
vigorous.
The potential demand for multiMultifamily housing

more selective; debt outstanding on mobile home loans edged to above $15
billion at the end of 1977, from $14%
billion in 1974-76. The larger size and
greater permanence of mobile homes and
stricter safety and building codes may
encourage lenders to offer longer term
and lower interest loans. Liberalization
of maximum loan limits by the Federal
Housing and Veterans Administrations
at the end of 1977 also may encourage
lending.
Eeal expenditures on additions and
alterations have increased little since
1975; in the first quarter of 1978 they
were $8.6 billion. From 1974 to 1975,
they had increased substantially. Such
increases typically occur at the beginning of an economic recovery when
homeowners are better able to add to
or alter existing structures than to
purchase new houses. Remodeling work
associated with conversions from apartments to condominiums also contributed
significantly to the 1975 increase.

25
1970's. The rapid formation of such
households is expected to continue and
is likely to stimulate demand for multiunit dwellings. The shift in the age
distribution of the population toward
older persons is likely to have a similar
effect. The Council on Wage and Price
Stability estimated average annual demand for new multifamily housing at
700,000 units for 1976-80—far in excess
of the average of 450,000 multifamily
starts in 1976-77. Accordingly, strong
potential demand for multifamily housing probably persists.
Completions of new multifamily units
totaled nearly 400,000 in 1977, the first
yearly increase since 1973, but less
than one-half the total in that year.
More than four-fifths of the completions
were rental units, mostly unfurnished
apartments in buildings containing five
or more units; most of the remainder
were condominiums and cooperatives.
Rental units
Despite strong potential demand for
rental units, the recession decline in
construction was steep and recovery
has been slow. Completion rates were
high in 1973 and 1974, reflecting earlier
high levels of construction activity;
completions in buildings containing five
or more units totaled 650,000 in 1973
and 500,000 in 1974. The high completion rates were a factor in the ensuing oversupply of rental units. This

oversupply was evidenced by the increase in the multifamily vacancy rate
to over 7.5 in 1974 and 1975, and by the
fall in the market absorption rate—
the percent of completed units rented
within 3 months—to a low of 65 percent in late 1974.




A squeeze of profit margins has
limited the recovery in rental unit
construction; completions dropped to
only 200,000 in 1976 and 250,000 in
1977. Surveys by the Institute of Real
Estate Management show that average
operating expenses of rental buildings

ability to single persons, and local rent
controls. The concurrent conversion of
numerous new and existing rental units
to condominiums is further evidence of
the profit squeeze in rental buildings.
The outlook for apartment construction has improved. Much of the oversupply that developed during 1972-75
has been absorbed. The rental vacancy
rate for multifamily units was down to
6.1 in the first quarter of 1978, the
same as in the fourth quarter of 1977,
and the market absorption rate increased to 82 percent. The rate of increase in rents accelerated in the second
half of 1977. The step-up in Government rental assistance also is encouraging multifamily construction.
Federal subsidy programs.—Government-subsidized rental programs have
expanded recently, providing considerable support to multifamily construction. Section 8 of the 1974 Housing and
Community
Development
Act—a
rental assistance program for low- and
moderate-income families—is rapidly
becoming the Government's major vehicle for encouraging multifamily construction. A family determined eligible
by a State or county public housing
agency seeks a unit anywhere within
the agency's jurisdiction. If the unit's
location and its monthly rent are
acceptable to the agency, the owner
and the family sign a lease, and the
agency and the owner sign a Housing
Assistance Payments contract, providing for payment by the agency of the
difference between the rent payable by
the family and the unit's rent. The
family pays 15-25 percent of its gross
income and, in effect, receives a supplement for the remainder of the rent.
Earlier rent-supplement programs assisted only families who lived in projects
built specifically for low-iucome families; Section 8 is not limited in that way.
Section 8 has stimulated the construction of multifamily units both
indirectly and directly. To the extent
that it encouraged new household
formation, it lowered the vacancy rate
on existing units, and thus helped to




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
stimulate the construction of new
units. The early effect of Section 8 on
construction was of this indirect kind.
More recently, however, direct effects
have been increasingly important. A
large—but difficult to quantify—part
of the ongoing recovery in multifamily
construction can be attributed directly
to Section 8. (One reason for the difficulty in quantification is that under
Section 8, a "start" is defined as an
authorization, and therefore differs
from the Census Bureau definition.)
The National Association of Mutual
Savings Banks estimates that Section 8
accounted for as much as one-third of
rental housing construction in the latter
part of 1977.
Increased construction can be anticipated under Section 8 in 1978 and 1979.
The Federal Budget for fiscal 1979
proposed to assist 400,000 additional
households—most of them under the
Section 8 program—compared with
235,000 in 1977 and 400,000 in 1978.
Section 8 outlays were estimated to
increase from $876 million in 1978 to
$1.3 billion in 1979. The Department
of Housing and Urban Development
expects 130,000 starts under Section 8
this calendar year and 150,000 in 1979.
GNMA's commitments to purchase
long-term mortgages on rental projects
from lenders also have assisted the recovery. Under its Special Assistance
Function, GNMA makes commitments
to lenders to purchase mortgages with
below-market interest rates at prices
that provide market-rate returns to
lenders, in effect providing interest rate
subsidies to developers. The commitments help developers secure construction loans from private sources, and the
interest rates subsidy decreases the
construction costs. To stimulate construction, these commitments are
limited to mortgages on which construction or rehabilitation has not started.
Commitments were $1 billion in fiscal
1975, $3 billion in 1976, and $2 billion
in 1977, and are projected to be $2
billion in 1978.

27
Condominiums and cooperatives
The "for-sale" segment of the multifamily market remains depressed—the
aftermath of the 1973-75 construction
boom and subsequent collapse. In 1974,
nearly 160,000 condominiums and cooperatives were completed, more than
2)i times as many as in 1972. The
1974-75 economic recession contributed
to a huge buildup of unsold units, particularly in the South, where nearly 60
percent of condominiums and cooperatives were located. The 3-month market
absorption rate for newly completed
units fell sharply to 40 percent by the
beginning of 1975 and remained below
50 percent for the rest of that year. The
oversupply put downward pressure on
sales prices; thus, ownership of condominiums and cooperatives did not
provide the same inflation hedge as did
single-family homeownership.
The prospects for recovery are mixed.
Completions totaled less than 50,000
in 1977, about the same as in 1976 and
less than one-third of the 1974 peak.
The market absorption rate picked up
in 1976, and by the fourth quarter of
1977 was up to 76 percent. However, the
rapid turnover in existing condominiums, which owners often hold for less
than 5 years, and continued conversions
of rental buildings to condominiums
discourage construction.
Finance also is a problem. Developers' inability to sell newly completed
units in 1973-75, and their consequent
inability to repay their loans, has left
lenders wary of committing funds. Real
estate investment trusts (REIT's),
which grew rapidly during the last boom
and supplied close to 30 percent of all
multifamily construction lending, suffered huge losses and have supplied
little lending in the recovery. REIT's,
although they are making a slow comeback, are not expected to reenter the
real estate market as heavily as they
did in the past, and so far other lenders
have not taken up the slack.

manufacturing and nonmanufacturing,
but is larger in nonmanufacturing. In
the latter, the largest percentage upward revisions are in transportation
and communication. In manufacturing,
the largest upward revisions are in
stone-clay-glass, food-beverage, and
"other nondurables" industries, and
the largest downward revisions are in
nonferrous metals, paper, and rubber.
Neither plans nor actual spending
reported in the surveys are adjusted
for price change. Rough adjustments
can be made using the implicit price
deflator for fixed nonresidential investment in the national income and
product accounts. This deflator rose
5.3 percent in 1977, indicating that
real spending rose 7 percent. If spending plans reflect expectations of a
similar price rise this year, then a rise
in real spending of just under 6 percent is indicated. However, for the four
quarters ending in March, this deflator
rose at an average annual rate of about
7 percent; if spending plans reflect this
larger price rise, the indicated rise in
real spending is 4 percent.
Actual spending in the first quarter
of 1978 increased 4.4 percent to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of
$144.3 billion; plans reported 3 months
earlier were for a 5.9-percent increase.
Spending plans call for increases of
3.2 percent in the second quarter,
3.3 percent in the third, and 2.0 percent in the fourth. The first-quarter
increase was almost entirely in nonmanufacturing. The increases planned

1. Plans have been adjusted for biases (table 6, footnote 2).
The adjustments were calculated for each industry. Before
adjustment, plans for 1978 were $69.35 billion for manufacturing
and $83.93 billion for nonmanufacturing. The net effect of the
adjustments was to lower manufacturing $2.07 billion and
nonmanufacturing $0.16 billion.

June 1978

Economics, Inc. and McGraw-Hill Publications Company reported increases of
15 percent and 17 percent, respectively.
The spring surveys have generally overstated actual spending increases. During the past 7 years, the BEA's overstatement averaged only one-half of a
point (table 2); Merrill Lynch's averaged 3K points and McGraw-Hill's
averaged 5 points. Differences between
the results of BEA and private surveys
are primarily due to differences in the
size and composition of the samples
and in processing procedures; the latter
were described in the June 1977

for the second, third, and fourth quarters are mainly in manufacturing.

this small increase, which is more than
accounted for by the durable goods
industries, followed a fourth-quarter
decline of 2% percent, also concentrated
in durable goods. Increases of 7 percent, 6 percent, and 3% percent are
planned for the second, third, and

and nondurables are about equal; in
the fourth quarter, the increase in nondurables is larger.
For the year 1978, a spending increase of 12 percent is planned. Both
durables and nondurables contribute
about equally to the increase. In durables, the largest increases are in
stone-clay-glass (24 percent), "other
durables" (16 percent), and electrical
machinery (15 percent). In nondurables,
the largest increases are in rubber (25
percent), "other nondurables" (25 percent) food-beverage (19 percent), and
petroleum (13 percent). Increases ranging between 8 and 11 percent are
planned by aircraft, motor vehicles,
nonelectrical machinery, and textiles.
Starts and carryover of projects
The value of manufacturing projects
started in the first quarter of 1978
increased 5 percent from the fourth
quarter of 1977, to a seasonally adjusted
total of $17.4 billion (table 3 and chart

June 1978

15)*; the increase was in durable goods,
chiefly in the machinery and stone-clayglass industries. In nondurables, increases in chemicals and food-beverage
were offset by declines in petroleum
and paper.
Because the value of projects started
in the first quarter exceeded expenditures, carryover in manufacturing increased. At the end of March, carryover
totaled $45.9 billion, $2.0 billion higher
than at the end of December.

adjusted annual rate of $82.7 billion;
this sharp rise followed a 1-percent
decline in the fourth quarter and reflected strong advances for railroads,
airlines, and gas utilities. Small increases are planned for the remainder of
1978: one-half of 1 percent in the second

Capital Expenditures by Business
for Pollution Abatement,
1973-77 and Planned 1978
BUSINESS spent $6.9 billion in 1977
for new plant and equipment to abate
air and water pollution and to dispose
of solid waste—a 3-percent increase
from 1976—and plans another 3-percent
increase to $7.2 billion in 1978 (table
I). 1 These results are based on the
survey conducted by BEA in November
and December of 1977. Such spending
was about 5 percent of total new plant
and equipment spending in 1977 and is
expected to fall to 4.7 percent in 1978.
Over the period 1973-76, the share was
nearly 5}£ percent.
In 1977, air, water, and solid waste
shares of capital expenditures for pollution abatement were 53 percent, 40 percent, and 7 percent, respectively;
similar shares are expected in 1978.
Over the period 1973-76, the shares
were 58 percent, 36 percent, and 6 percent, respectively.2
Business has allocated about 20 percent of air and water capital pollution
NOTE.—Research on pollution abatement
regulations and their effects on major industries was done by Frederick G. Kappler,
William J. Russo, and Susan L. Trevathan.
Mary C. Baker provided statistical assistance.
1. Agricultural business; real estate; medical, legal, educational, and cultural services; and nonprofit organizations are
excluded from these estimates. Pollution abatement operating costs are' also excluded. Information on both capital
expenditures and operating costs for pollution abatement
and control by business, government, and consumers is
presented in "Pollution Abatement and Control Expenditures, 1972-76," February 1977 SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS.

Business capital expenditures for pollution abatement are
universe extimates based on sample data from the BEA new
plant and equipment expenditures survey. The sample
data are from reports submitted by companies, not from
separate reports for plants or establishments; a company's
capital expenditures for pollution abatement are assigned to
a single industry in accordance with the industry classification of the company's principal products.

abatement expenditures (PAE) to
changes-in-production-process methods
in each year since 1973 (table 2).3 Some
experts had expected a steady increase
in the share of expenditures allocated
to this type of abatement, but end-ofline treatment has retained its dominant
share.
The estimates in this article are not
adjusted for price changes. Capital
goods prices, as measured by the implicit price deflator for fixed nonresidential investment in the national
income and product accounts, rose 5
percent in 1977. If prices of pollution
abatement capital behaved similarly,
real spending by business for abatement declined nearly 3 percent in 1977.
If survey respondents expect prices
of pollution abatement capital to rise
this year at about the same rate as
last year, a similar decline is indicated.
Changes in Spending Levels,
1977 and 1978

13-percent increase in total spending
for new plant and equipment.4 The
increase in capital PAE was well below
the 11 percent reported as planned
last year. The 3-percent increase
planned for 1978 compares with a
planned 10-percent increase in total
new plant and equipment spending.
Electric utilities increased air, water,
and solid waste capital PAE in 1977
$281 million—more than accounting
for the $177 million increase for all
industries. Manufacturing decreased air,
water, and solid waste spending $100
million; nonmanufacturing excluding
electric utilities decreased spending
slightly. Plans for 1978 show similar

The 3-percent increase in all-industry

2. Estimates of business capital spending in 1973 for solid
waste collection and disposal are published in this article for
the first time. The 1973 survey, unlike those following, did
not cover such expenditures, but estimates have been prepared by BEA, based on an analysis of trends in such
spending after 1973.
3. Changes-in-production-process methods involve the
modifications of existing production processes or the substitution of new processes to reduce or eliminate the pollutants
generated. The other kind of methods—end-of-line—involves
the separation, treatment, or reuse of pollutants after they
are generated but before they are emitted from the firm's
property. Solid waste capital PAE is not allocated between
the two methods.
4. Although capital PAE grew slowly in 1977, the stock of
abatement capital net of depreciation grew significantly
because capital PAE greatly exceeded depreciation. A
preliminary estimate of depreciation at replacement cost
was made for 1977 by extending the abatement capital spending series back before 1973 and using the perpetual inventory
method.

patterns: Electric utilities expect to
increase capital PAE $244 million,
compared with a planned $29 million
decrease by all other industries.
Of industries spending $200 million
or more for antipollution capital, the
largest percentage changes in 1977
were: "other durables" manufacturing,
up 18 percent; electric utilities, up
14 percent; and paper, chemicals, and
petroleum, each down 8 percent. In
1978, the largest planned percentage
changes are: motor vehicles, up 47 percent; food-beverage, up 22 percent;
steel, up 14 percent; electric utilities,
up 11 percent; and paper and nonferrous metals, down 25 and 24 percent,
respectively.
Spending fell short of plans in 1977
by $573 million, similar to the shortfall
a year earlier ($584 million). The short-

fall in 1977 was large for water pollution abatement capital spending, $374
million. By major industry group, it
was large for manufacturing, $454
million. In 1977, as in earlier years, the
percentage shortfall in capital PAE
was larger than in total plant and
equipment spending; uncertainties and
delays associated with permits and
approvals for pollution abatement
spending projects may explain the large
shortfall.

from year to year. A 7-percent increase
in 1974 and a 17-percent increase in
1975 were followed by 3-percent increases in both 1976 and 1977 (chart
18).
Three major factors are reflected in
the year-to-year pattern. First, expenditures for abatement must accompany
expenditures for many types of production facilities, and so capital PAE rises
or falls with expenditures for new or
expanded facilities. This complementary relationship is complicated by
government deadlines for pollution
abatement—the second factor. As
abatement deadlines approach, substitution of capital PAE for other capital
expenditures is likely; the opposite
substitution is likely immediately following deadlines. The third factor is the
pattern of prices. There is, as yet, no

price index for capital PAE. However,
prices—as measured by the implicit
price deflator for fixed nonresidential
investment—rose rapidly in 1974 and
1975 and decelerated thereafter, and,
to the extent that prices of capital PAE
and the deflator behave similarly, this
pattern is reflected in the pattern of
capital PAE.
It is possible to isolate the effect of
deadlines on capital PAE from the
effect of the complementarity factor by
analyzing changes in the ratio of capital
PAE to new plant and equipment expenditures.5 The ratio for total capital
5. Because of the complementarity of the two kinds of
capital, both the numerator and denominator of this ratio
tend to change in the same direction; thus the ratio tends to
change substantially only if pollution abatement deadlines
are encountered. To the extent that the prices of capital
PAE and new plant and equipment expenditures behave
similarly, the price effects in the numerator and denominator
tend to cancel.

PAE declined slightly in 1974, increased in 1975, and has declined since
(chart 19). This pattern suggests that
the schedule of regulatory deadlines
was probably the principal cause of
the deceleration of capital PAE increases after 1975. Further, the ratio
for air capital PAE increased in 1975—
the year of a major air pollution abatement deadline. In contrast, the ratio
for water capital PAE increased in
1975 and 1976 and decreased in 1977—
the year of a major water pollution
abatement deadline. For reasons that
will be discussed, business apparently
reacted differently to the air deadline
than to the water deadline.
The 1975 air deadline.—The 1970
Clean Air Act Amendments made
compliance with national primary ambient air quality standards mandatory

35
by May 1975.6 The May 1975 deadline
might be expected to have affected
capital PAE before 1975, because
capital spending projects are usually
phased so that most expenditures are
before the final months of project
completion. However, air capital PAE
as a proportion of total new plant and
equipment decreased in 1974 and increased 12 percent in 1975.
The severity and certainty of the
penalties for violation of the deadline,
as well as the speed with which it
would be enforced were unclear. According to the 1970 amendments, civil
court actions against individual violators were to be for "appropriate
6. Primary standards are set at a level to protect the public
health; secondary standards are set at a level to protect the
value of other resources. Ambient standards pertain to air
quality typical in an area or region; they are in contrast to
standards for air quality at points of emission of air pollutants.

relief, including permanent or temporary injunction." 7 Because the Federal standards involved were for ambient quality, the certainty of penalty
and the speed with which penalty
would follow violation were also unclear. Each state was to allocate to
individual industrial sites the responsibility for achieving the required level
of ambient quality and submit a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The SIP's were to detail the allocation procedures and time tables for
reducing pollutant emissions at sites
necessary to achieve the Federal stand7. Penalties associated with civil court action were probably
the main threat to violators of the 1975 deadline; criminal
court action was less likely to succeed and therefore seldom
taken. Also, there were penalties that did not result from
court actions. For example, air quality regions not able to
meet ambient standards were subject to more stringent
Federal rules governing expansion of production facilities
than regions meeting standards.

ards. Frequency and amount of pollutant emissions, typical weather patterns, chemical reactions of pollutants
after emission, and location (dispersion
or concentration) of sites were involved,
as were issues of fairness and cost of
alternative allocations, but the 1970
amendments did not address all of
these considerations. It was difficult to
allocate responsibility to individual
sites and, once allocated, it was difficult
to translate responsibility into air pollutant emission limits. Companies were
cooperative with State and Federal
regulators in order to avoid risk of court
action, but the 1975 deadline did not
provide sufficient incentive for early
implementation. Thus, most of the
13-percent increase in air capital PAE
in 1975 was probably due to the 1975
air deadline and the uncertainty of

June 1978

enforcement may have delayed preparation for the deadline.
The 1977 water deadline—-The 1972
Federal Water Pollution Control Act
Amendments required the use of the
"best practicable technology" (BPT)
by July 1977. In contrast with air
capital PAE, water capital PAE expenditures increased before the deadline : As a proportion of total new plant
and equipment, they increased 24 percent in 1975 and 9 percent in 1976,
compared with decreases in other years.
The 1972 amendments provided for
significant daily fines or for permanent
or temporary injunction as a result of
successful civil court actions against
violators. Because th6 1977 deadline
was for BPT and not for level of
ambient quality, assignment of responsibility to specific industrial sites for

reducing or limiting emissions was
relatively straightforward. Further, the
1972 amendments provided for a permit
system that became a mechanism of
setting limits on emissions and facilitated checking that limits were not
being exceeded. Industry-by-industry
guidelines for BPT were issued by
EPA as early as 1973, and most were
issued in 1974 and 1975—allowing
companies time before 1977 to purchase
and install BPT. The few variances that
were granted were pollutant- and sitespecific. Thus, most of the 26-percent
increase in water capital PAE in 1975
and 16 percent in 1976 was probably
due to the 1977 water deadline and the
timing of the increases reflected the
way it was enforced.
Other deadlines.—Air quality regions
now excepted from 1975 air standards
must meet 1975 standards in 1982.
Major water pollution abatement deadlines will occur in 1984 when "best
available
technology
economically
achievable" (BATEA) will be required
for "toxic" and "conventional" pollutants and in 1987 when BATEA will
be required for "nonconventional" pollutants. Thus, government regulations
currently in effect probably will not

Waste Pollution Abatement *

be major stimulants for capital PAE
in 1978 and 1979.
Major industry trends
The six industries with the largest
expenditures for pollution abatement
over the period 1973-77 were electric
utilities, petroleum, chemicals, nonferrous metals, paper, and steel. These
industries accounted for 76 percent
of capital PAE since 1973. Of these six
industries, two—electric utilities and
steel—increased
expenditures continually over the period; these industries
will be discussed below. The others—
petroleum,
chemicals,
nonferrous
metals, and paper—either decelerated
or declined after 1975 or 1976 (chart
20).
The pollution problems of electric
utilities are mainly those encountered in
using various energy sources to generate
electricity. Over the period 1973-77,
46 percent of total electricity production was from coal, 16 percent from oil,
and the remainder from other (gas,
nuclear, and hydroelectric) sources. By
far, the major air pollution problems
were emissions of particulates and
sulfur oxides, and the major water pollution problem was the discharge of
waste heat.
Electric utilities increased air, water,
and solid waste capital PAE an average
of 11 percent per year in 1973-77;
annual increases for the total and for air
and water, separately, are shown in the
accompanying tabulation.

capital spending increased significantly
in 1976 and 1977 when total capital
spending by electric utilities increased
11 percent and 15 percent, respectively.
Prior to 1976, a significant segment of
the industry resisted the use of wet
scrubbers for sulfur oxides control;
lessened resistance may have contributed to stronger air capital PAE in
1976 and 1977. The dramatic rise in
water capital PAE in 1976 was probably
in preparation for the 1977 water deadline.

Steel increased capital PAE an average of 19 percent per year in 1973-77;
annual increases for the total and for
air and water, separately, are shown in
the accompanying tabulation. The timing of the largest increases for air and
water is consistent with the 1975 air
and 1977 water deadlines, even though
many steelmaking establishments of
steel companies have not achieved
compliance. Part of the explanation for
the consistency is that steel companies
are often diversified, so that the spending patterns reflect spending by establishments not engaged in making steel.

Compliance by many steelmaking
establishments with the 1975 air deadline has not been achieved for a variety
reasons: Steel companies have delayed implementation through litigation, Federal courts have stayed
critical portions of some SIP's, some
States delayed in their SIP the date of
compliance for steelmaking establishments, and the EPA is still reviewing
parts of some SIP's dealing with steelmaking establishments. Compliance
with the 1977 BPT water deadline has

June 1978

not been achieved because steel companies contested BPT guidelines
(Federal courts remanded some guidelines for further work, and some
disputes are unsettled), and EPA
granted some steelmaking establishments a special exemption from the
national effluent standards.

potheses about all closings over the
1974-77 period in which pollution
abatement was a factor. First, most
permanent closings involving pollution
problems did not occur solely because
of pollution abatement requirements.
Out of 131 permanent closings, 98 involved other factors (outdated facilities,
rising costs, declining sales, etc.) as well.
Second, the number of permanent closings fell after 1975 when general economic conditions improved. There were
34 permanent closings reported in 1974
and 63 in 1975, but only 23 in 1976
and 11 in 1977; 13 are planned for 1978.
Third, air pollution requirements contributed to more permanent closings
than water pollution requirements, possibly because of a combination of the
1975 air deadline and the slack economic
conditions in 1974 and in early 1975.
Air pollution problems were cited in
permanent closings almost twice as
often as water pollution problems.

Facility Closings
For the fourth year, companies on
the BEA plant and equipment survey
panel were asked if they had closed (or
planned to close) a production facility
because of pollution abatement requirements.8 Less than one-half of 1 percent
of the survey respondents closed a
facility in 1977. Twelve facilities in
1977 were permanently or temporarily
closed—about half the number reported in 1976 (table 3). Fourteen
closings are planned for this year.
Although estimates of national totals
of facilities closed would be useful, the
data do not permit such estimates.9
Nonetheless, the sample results are
interesting because they suggest hy8. The survey question is: "Has your company closed a
facility in 1977 or does it plan to close a facility in 1978 where
pollution abatement requirements are a contributing factor
in the closing?" The companies that answered "yes" were
telephoned to determine the extent to which pollution
abatement requirements and other factors contributed to
each closing. Over the 4 years, 92 percent of the survey respondents who reported closings supplied additional
information.

9. Benchmark data for the BEA new plant and equipment
expenditures survey are for companies instead of facilities
(establishments or parts of establishments) and do not include closings data.
Plant closings are a controversial subject, on which work
has been limited. The EPA monitors closings in which
environmental regulations were a significant factor and maintains records for closings involving 25 or more employees.
The term environmental regulations used by EPA is more
inclusive that the term pollution abatement regulations
used by BEA. On the other hand, the 25-or-more-employee
cutoff used by EPA is less inclusive than that of BEA.
EPA and the Council on Environmental Quality have
tended to interpret EPA data as approximating a total (in
contrast to a sample) of closings.

from the Regional Economic Measurement Division (REMD) of the Bureau
of Economic Analysis. The estimates
by industry for 1975 and 1976 are based
on the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). Estimates for years
prior to 1975 remain on the 1967 SIC
basis. Estimates for 1975 on the 1967
SIC basis will be available from REMD
at a later date to provide an overlap

low) per capita income is the temporary
result of unusual conditions, such as a
bumper crop, a major construction
project (e.g., a defense facility, nuclear
plant, or dam), or a catastrophe (e.g.,
a tornado or drought). In some cases,
a high per capita income is not representative of the standard of living in an
area. For example, a construction project may attract a large number of highpaid workers who are included in the
population but who send a substantial
portion of their wages to dependents
living in other areas. Conversely, a
county with a large institutional population (e.g., residents of a college,
correctional institution, or domiciliary
medical facility) may show an unusually
low per capita income, which is not
necessarily indicative of the economic
well-being of the noninstitutional population. Moreover, population is measured at midyear whereas income is
measured as a flow over the year.
Therefore, a significant change in population during the year, particularly
around midyear, can cause a distortion
in the per capita figures.

Definition and uses of personal
income
Personal income is the current income
received by residents of an area from
all sources. It is measured before deduction of income and other personal taxes,
but after deduction of personal contributions for social security, government
retirement, and other social insurance
programs. It consists of wage and salary
disbursements, various types of supplementary earnings termed "other labor
income," proprietors' income, rental
income of persons, dividends, interest,
and government and business transfer
payments.
The definitions underlying the local
area series are, for the most part, the
same as those underlying the personal
income series in the national income and
product accounts. The major difference
is in the treatment of U.S. citizens
temporarily working on assignment
abroad. The national series includes not
only Federal personnel—civilian and
military—stationed abroad, but also—
since the 1976 benchmark revisions—
U.S. residents employed by private U.S.
firms on temporary foreign assignment.
The State and local area series include
only persons working and/or residing in
the 50 States and the District of Columbia. (The special case of border workers
is discussed in the section on the residence adjustment.)
Per capita personal income is the
total personal income of residents
divided by the resident population. It
serves as an indicator of the nature of
consumer markets and of the well-being
of the residents of an area.




Revisions in personal income
components
In this section, each component of
personal income is defined and the
major revisions affecting it are highlighted.
Wage and salary disbursements.—
Wage and salary disbursements consist
of monetary remuneration of employees, including compensation of corporate officers; commissions, tips, and
bonuses; and receipts in kind that
represent income to the recipients.
Retroactive wages are counted when
paid rather than when earned.
A major classificational revision affecting the wage and salary component
is the reclassification of military reserve
pay from other labor income to military
wages and salaries. This reclassification
makes the treatment of military reserve
pay consistent with that of part-time
civilian workers.
Farm wages now include an estimate
for salaries received by officers of cor-

June 1978

porate farms. The State and county
estimates are based upon data collected
in the 1974 Census of Agriculture.
Contract farm labor, as distinguished
from hired farm labor, was reclassified
from farm to agricultural services and
estimates of wages of contract laborers
added to agricultural service payrolls
covered by State unemployment insurance programs.
Other labor income.—Other labor income consists of employer contributions
to private pension and welfare funds
and directors' fees.
The reclassification of military reserve pay was noted previously.
Another revision relates to the item
formerly recorded as "compensation
for injuries" (i.e., workmen's compensation). Under the revised treatment,
privately insured workmen's compensation plans are treated in the same
way as private welfare plans: as a component of other labor income, measured
in terms of employer contributions
(premiums paid). Workmen's compensation plans that are insured through
Federal or State government funds,
however, are treated as social insurance: as a component of transfer payments, measured in terms of benefits.
Proprietors1 income.—Proprietors' income is the monetary income and
income in kind of sole proprietorships
and partnerships, including the independent professions, and of producers'
cooperatives. It is treated in its entirety
as received by individuals. Interest
and dividends received by proprietors
and rental income received by persons
who are not primarily engaged in the
real estate business are excluded.
Revisions to farm proprietors' income were mainly statistical. The only
classificational revision relates to rents
received by landlords living on farms
but leasing them to operators. This
income was reclassified from farm income to rental income of persons.
Other revisions derive from (1) U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA)
revised estimates, released in 1974,
reflecting the inclusion of a number of
additional expense items and of a few
minor income items that had not been
estimated previously; (2) BEA's deduction of salaries of corporate officers
from the USDA estimates of net farm

June 1978

income (the USDA treats these salaries
as a return to corporate ownership
rather than as an expense); and (3)
the newly available series "other expenses' ' published in the 1974 Census
of Agriculture. This new series made
possible much needed improvements in
the estimates of overhead expense items
such as depreciation, taxes, and mortgage interest, which had been derived
previously on the basis of outdated,
indirect data.
The general effect of these revisions
at the national and State levels is to
lower the farm proprietors' net income.
At the county level, the effect is more
varied. Because agricultural production
tends to be more homogeneous at the
county than at the State level, a given
revision may have a large effect in one
county but not in another. For example,
the addition of certain crop expense
items would affect a county where crop
production is predominant, but would
have little or no effect in a county where
livestock production predominates.
Revisions in nonfarm proprietors'
income are mainly the result of the
introduction of the capital consumption
adjustment (CCA) and the incorporation at the county level of data from the
Social Security Self-Employment file
for industries other than trade and
services (which had been similarly
revised during a previous estimating
cycle). Briefly, the CCA is provided to
put tax return-based capital consumption allowances on an "economic"
basis—that is, valued at replacement
cost (rather than original cost), and
measured consistently with respect to
service lives of assets and the depreciation formula.2
The only other major revision was
the addition of estimates of net income
of rural electric and telephone cooperatives. Although this revision had little
impact at the national and State levels,
it posed problems at the local area
levels—specifically, for small counties
that are the sites of large cooperatives,
to avoid the distorting effect of the net
income of a single large cooperative on
a county which would otherwise have a
2. For a more detailed discussion, see Part I of the January
1976 SURVEY and "New Estimates of Capital Consumption
Allowances in the Benchmark Revision of GNP" in the
October 1975 SURVEY.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
small total personal income, the net
income of the cooperatives is imputed to
their customer-members (usually residing in the surrounding counties as well
as in the county in which the cooperative is located) as part of the residence
adjustment.
Dividends, interest, and rent.—Dividends are cash payments by corporations organized for profit to stockholders
who are U.S. persons. Personal interest
income is the interest income of persons
from all sources. Nationally, it is
calculated as net interest plus interest
paid by government to persons and
business less interest received by
government plus interest paid by consumers to business. Rental income of
persons with CCA is the monetary
income of persons from the rental income of real property, except the income of persons primarily engaged in
the real estate business; the imputed net
rental income of owner-occupants of
nonfarm dwellings; and the royalties
received by persons from patents,
copyrights, and rights to natural resources.
Personal interest income was revised
to exclude imputed interest received by
government. Other revisions in personal
interest income, and the revisions in
dividends, are mainly the result of
minor changes in the estimating procedures. The change in the level of the
interest estimates reflects statistical
revisions at the national level deriving
from newly available data.
Rental income of persons is the
component most affected by the introduction of the CCA. The substantially
lower level of rental income in the
revised personal income series is largely
due to this adjustment. However, there
are several other definitional and classificational revisions that affect rental
income. First, mobile home purchases
were reclassified from personal consumption expenditures and expenditures
for producers' durable equipment to
investment in residential and nonresidential structures, respectively. This
shift entailed the addition of estimates
of both monetary and imputed rents
for mobile homes to the rent component. Second, interest on home improvement loans was reclassified from

41
payments by consumers to payments
by business in order to parallel the
treatment of mortgage interest payments of homeowners. Third, rental
income of nonoperator farm landlords
was shifted from farm proprietors' income to rental income. The impact on
farm income was mentioned previously.
Transfer payments.—Transfer payments to persons is income for which
current services are not rendered. It
consists of both government and business transfer payments. Government
transfer payments include payments
under the following programs: Federal
old-age, survivors, disability, and health
insurance; supplementary
medical
insurance; State unemployment insurance; railroad retirement and unemployment insurance; government
retirement; Federal and State government insured workmen's compensation;
veterans, including veterans life insurance; food stamp; black lung; supplemental security income (SSI); and
direct relief. Government payments to
nonprofit institutions, other than for
work under research and development
contracts, are also included.
In addition to the reclassification of
workmen's compensation, as mentioned
earlier, there were two smaller revisions: (1) Fleet reserve pay (a form of
retirement pay of Navy personnel) was
reclassified from other labor income (a
part of military reserve pay) to transfer
payments (a part of military retirement
pay), and (2) reimbursements to Federal, State, and local government employees for depreciation incurred in the
official use of their autos were reclassified from transfer payments to government purchases from persons, and thus
are omitted from personal income.
Revisions in transfer payments also
resulted from better estimating procedures, the availability of new data,
and increased detail to reflect reorganization of several programs. Among
the components affected by these improvements are food stamp payments,
refugee assistance, direct assistance programs now included under SSI, unemployment insurance benefits under the
Railroad Retirement Act, and the $50
payment under the Tax Reduction Act
of 1975.
Contributions for social insurance.—

42

SUEVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS

Personal contributions for social insurance includes payments by employees,
self-employed, and other individuals
who participate in the following
programs: Federal old-age, survivors,
disability, and health insurance; supplementary medical insurance; State
unemployment insurance; railroad retirement
insurance;
government
retirement; and veterans life insurance.
At the local area level, the revisions
were confined to increasing the detail
in which the estimates are made.
Specifically, separate estimates are now
prepared for "payments for supplementary medical insurance" and for "contributions by military personnel for
social insurance."

change in the treatment of border
workers. This term refers primarily to
U.S. residents working in Canada and
Mexico and Canadian and Mexican
residents working in the United States.
Eesidents of other countries working in
the United States are included in the
definition but, with the possible exception of the seasonal farm workers
coming from the Carribean area, they
are not statistically significant in number and therefore are not included in
the estimates.
At the national level, earnings of U.S.
residents working in Canada and
Mexico are entered in the national income and product account as income of
U.S. residents received from the rest of
the world. Earnings of Canadian, Mexican, and Carribean residents are entered
in the domestic industry in which these
foreign residents are employed and as an
offsetting payment to the rest of the
world. In both cases, the earnings

entries are carried through to the personal income estimates. However, at the
State and county levels, the residence
adjustment is the logical vehicle for
reflecting the earnings of border
workers. In essence, border workers are
international commuters, and the use of
the residence adjustment makes their
treatment consistent with the treatment of those who commute within the
geographic boundaries of the United
States.
Other revisions in methodology were
also made to improve the quality of the
residence adjustment. For the first time,
industrial differentials in wages and
number of commuters were introduced
into the estimating procedures. Furthermore the availability of Internal
Eevenue Service tabulations of 1975
wages and salaries provided a crosscheck of estimated changes in commuting patterns that have occurred since
the 1970 Census benchmark.

International Travel and Passenger Fares, 1077
Expenditures of international travelers to and from the United States
resulted in net travel and passenger
fare payments to foreigners of $3.1
billion in 1977, a 16-percent increase
from the 5-year low of $2.7 billion in
1976. U.S. residents traveling abroad in
1977 spent $10.3 billion, up $0.9 billion,
or 9 percent from 1976.2
They spent $7.5 billion in foreign
countries, a 9-percent increase, and paid
$2.8 billion, an 11-percent increase, to
foreign carriers for passenger fares.
In addition, U.S. travelers paid $1.6
billion in passenger fares to U.S.
carriers, a 13-percent increase. Total
receipts from foreign visitors to the
United States were $7.2 billion, a
$0.5 billion, or 7-percent increase.3
These receipts consisted of $6.2 billion
spent within the United States, a 6percent increase, and $1.0 billion, a
9-percent increase, in payments to U.S.

carriers for passenger fares to and from
the United States (table 1).
The 9-percent rise in U.S. travel
expenditures in foreign countries reflected continued inflation abroad and
the depreciation of the dollar against a
number of foreign currencies. • U.S.
travel expenditures in constant (1972)
dollars, adjusted for changes in foreign
consumer prices and in dollar exchange
rates, declined about 1 percent. These
expenditures had peaked in 1972, declined through 1975, and rebounded
sharply in 1976 (chart 21). Receipts
from foreign visitors in the United
States in constant (1972) dollars, adjusted for changes in U.S. consumer
prices and dollar exchange rates, also
declined in 1977.
Although U.S. travel expenditures
have increased steadily since 1968, the
proportion of U.S. disposable personal
income spent on travel abroad has
declined over the past 4 years—from 1.0
percent in 1974 to 0.9 percent in 1977.

1. This article reviews total expenditures of U.S. residents
traveling abroad and expenditures of foreign residents visiting the United States. Expenditures so defined include the
travel accounts and part of the passenger fare accounts that
appear in the U.S. international transactions accounts. They
do not cover U.S. carriers' receipts for transporting foreign
residents between foreign points; these receipts do not involve
travel to and from the United States, but they are included
in the passenger fare account in line 5 of tables 1, 2, and 10
of the quarterly presentation of U.S. international transactions. These expenditures do cover passenger fares paid by
U.S. travelers to U.S. transoceanic carriers (line B3 of table 1
of this article), which are an important part of total expenditures by U.S. travelers; these fares do not enter into the U.S.
international transactions accounts.
2. Travel account payments include expenditures in
foreign countries by U.S. visitors for food, lodging, entertainment, transportation purchased abroad, and other
expenses incidental to a foreign visit. Excluded are expenditures by U.S. military and other government personnel
stationed abroad, by their dependents, and by U.S. citizens
residing abroad. Payments to foreign transoceanic carriers
and shipboard expenditures are included in the passenger
fares account. Shore expenditures of cruise passengers are
included in travel payments.
3. Travel account receipts include expenditures in the
United States for services similar to those indicated in footnote 2, by foreigners on business, pleasure, and study trips,
and by those in transit. Receipts of U.S. transoceanic carriers
from foreigners are included in the passenger fares account.

U.S. travel abroad




Canada and Mexico.—U.S. travelers
spent $3.4 billion in Canada and
Mexico in 1977, an 8-percent increase
from 1976. Forty-five percent of total
U.S. travel expenditures again went to
Canada and Mexico (table 2).
Although travelers to Canada spent
$1.4 billion, an increase of 5 percent,
the number of Americans traveling to
Canada declined slightly, to 32 million.
A particularly sharp decline in the first
quarter—the number of travelers fell 6
percent from the same period in 1976—
was largely due to the extremely cold
weather. The average expenditure per
traveler was $45, 6 percent more than
in 1976.
U.S. air travelers to Canada, who
accounted for 28 percent of total U.S.

travel spending in Canada, increased
in number by 7 percent; this increase
was more than offset by a drop in the
number of auto travelers. Auto travelers
accounted for 86 percent of all U.S.
travelers to Canada and for 60 percent
of total U.S. travel spending there;
auto travelers on trips lasting 2 or
more nights accounted for 47 percent
of spending in Canada.
Newfoundland and British Columbia
were the only provinces that experienced an increase in the number of
U.S. visitors, but these two provinces
accounted for only 10 percent of all
U.S. travelers to Canada. The major
destination was the province of OnCHART 21

tario, which received 65 percent of
U.S. travelers to Canada and 54 percent
of their expenditures. Quebec received
14 percent of expenditures, and British
Columbia and the Yukon together
received 16 percent. The remaining 16
percent was spread among the other
provinces.
U.S. travelers to Mexico spent $1.9
billion, 11 percent more than in 1976.
The number of travelers to the interior
and their expenditures each rose about
4 percent, with expenditures totaling
$0.8 billion. Fewer people traveled overland to visit Mexico's interior, and expenditures by this group of travelers
dropped; the drop was more than offset
by the increase in the number of air
travelers, who increased their expenditures by 15 percent. U.S. travelers to
the border area spent $1.1 billion, a
16-percent increase, although their
numbers were virtually unchanged.
During 1977, the peso depreciated 14
percent against the dollar, making
prices in Mexico attractive to Americans despite peso price increases during
the year. Prices are an especially important consideration to border-area
travelers, who usually visit for a short
period of time for shopping or entertainment.
Overseas travel.—U.S. travelers to
overseas areas in 1977 numbered 7.4
million, up 0.5 million; their expenditures rose 9 percent, to $4.1 billion, and
accounted for 55 percent of total U.S.
travel spending in foreign countries
(table 3).
As in previous years, Europe and the
Mediterranean area were the major
destinations for travelers overseas; over
one-half of all travelers from the
United States visited the area. Their
expenditures rose 12 percent, to $2.4
billion. The average cost per trip to
Europe and the Mediterranean area
was $1,167, consisting of $612 spent
in countries visited, about the same
as in 1976, and $555 for air fare,
down nearly 3 percent. An increase in
charter travel was probably responsible
for the drop in the average air fare.
Twenty-nine percent of all travel to
Europe was by charter, up from 25
percent in 1976. In the third quarter,
when travel volume was heaviest,
charters carried 37 percent of U.S.

The number and expenditures of

Spending in South America increased
10 percent to $0.3 billion. This increase
resulted from a 10-percent increase in
the number of travelers; average spending was unchanged.
Travel expenditures in other areas,
mainly the Pacific and Far East,
totaled $0.7 billion, 10 percent more
than in 1976. Although travel expenditures in Japan rose 3 percent to $0.2
billion, real expenditures declined
sharply because of the appreciation of
the yen against the dollar and the rise
in consumer prices in Japan during the
year.
Foreign travel to the United States
Foreign visitors spent $6.2 billion in
the United States in 1977, up $0.4 billion or 6 percent (table 6). In addition,
foreign visitors paid $1.0 billion to U.S.
carriers for passenger fares to and from
the United States. Visitors from Canada,
Western Europe, and South America
spent more than in 1976, and visitors
from Mexico and the Caribbean and
Central America spent less. The total
number of visitors from overseas was
virtually unchanged at 4.5 million. The

foreign currencies—which made U.S.
goods and services cheaper in terms of
these currencies—contributed to the
increase in foreign visitors' expenditures in the United States.

Canada and Mexico.—Canadian and
Mexican visitors to the United States
spent $3.6 billion in 1977, 4 percent
more than in 1976. Their expenditures
again accounted for 58 percent of all
travel spending here.
Expenditures of Canadian visitors to
the United States rose 9 percent to $2.2
billion. The number of Canadian visitors
rose almost 6 percent, to about 38
million, and average expenditures were
up 4 percent. The largest increase in
expenditures was in the first quarter,
when they increased 15 percent over the
same period of 1976. Average expenditures for the quarter were $88, higher
by far than for any other quarter. Despite a decline in the Canadian dollar
against the U.S. dollar, visitors from
Canada continued the clearly established trend toward winter vacations in
warmer climates.
The number of auto travelers, who
accounted for 88 percent of all Canadian
visitors to the United States, rose 5 percent. The number of air travelers rose
15 percent. Of the 38 million Canadians
who visited the United States, 40 percent came from the province of Ontario, 20 percent from British Columbia,
and 16 percent each from New Brunswick and Quebec. The remaining 8 percent came from the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.
Mexican visitors spent $1.4 billion
for travel in the United States, slightly
less than in 1976. Spending by travelers
to the U.S. interior increased 3 percent.
A 6-percent increase in average expenditures more than compensated for a
3-percent drop in the number of
travelers. Border area travelers spent
$1.1 billion, a 2-percent decline. Spending the U.S. border area, which accounts
for three-quarters of total Mexican travel expenditures in the United States,
was dampened by the 14-percent depreciation of the peso against the dollar
during 1977, which made U.S. goods
and services more expensive in terms
of pesos.
Overseas visitors.—Visitors to the
United States from overseas areas
spent $2.6 billion, up 9 percent; the
number of visitors remained at about
4.5 million. Pleasure travelers—78 per-

cent of all travelers in 1977—remained
at 3.5 million (table 7).
Expenditures of Western European
visitors increased 16 percent to $1.0
billion, as visitors from every country
increased their expenditures. Visitors
form both France and Germany increased their expenditures at least onefourth. The number of visitors from
the United Kingdom, France, and
Germany, which together accounted
for almost 60 percent of all European
visitors, was virtually unchanged.
The number of travelers from the
Caribbean and Central America also
was virtually unchanged. Their expenditures declined 7 percent, but remained above those in the 1973-75
period.
South American visitors increased
their expenditures almost one-fourth to
$0.4 billion, and their number increased 12 percent to 0.6 million. South
America was the only overseas area
with a substantial increase in visitors to
the United States.
About 1.5 million visitors from other
areas spent $0.9 billion for travel here,
accounting for 35 percent of all receipts from overseas. Over half of these
visitors were from Japan. Japanese
visitors spent $0.4 billion here; a small
decline in their number was offset by
a rise in their average expenditures.

* New series effective with data for Jan. 1976, Source: Metals Week. MW Composite monthly
price (Straits quality, delivered) is based on average of daily prices at two markets (Penang,
Malaysia—settlement, and LME 3-month—High grade), and includes fixed charges plus
dealer's and consumer's 70-day financing costs; no comparable earlier prices are available.
t Effective with the Apr. 1977 SURVEY, data are expressed in metric tons (to convert U.b.
long tons to metric tons, multiply by factor, 1.01605). c Corrected.
