Based on Seasonally Adjusted Annual Rates

JLJASED on data for April and May,
personal income expressed at an annual
rate increased about $40% billion in the
second quarter, compared with $47
billion in the first (table 1). Personal
income is measured after deduction of
personal contributions for social insurance. Reflecting increases in the
social security tax rate and wage base
effective January 1, these contributions increased much more in the first
quarter than in the second. Income
before deduction of these contributions
decelerated about $12% billion, indicating that economic activity, which
had weakened in the first quarter,
weakened again in the second.
The deceleration was in wages and
salaries, which at an annual rate increased $23 billion, compared with $36
billion in the first quarter. Work
stoppages had no measurable effect on
wages and salaries for the quarter as a
whole. Of the industry groups shown in
table 1, only the "other commodityproducing" group increased more in
the second quarter than in the first. A
recovery in construction payrolls, which
in the first quarter had been depressed
by the unfavorable weather, accounted
for that improvement. Manufacturing
payrolls increased only $4 billion in the
second quarter, compared with $13
billion in the first.

Disposable personal income at an
annual rate decelerated much more than
personal income. It increased $49%
billion, or 13% percent (annual rate), in
the first quarter, but only $29 billion,
or 7% percent, in the second. The larger
deceleration in disposable income was
due to personal taxes, which are deducted from personal income in deriving disposable income. These taxes

increased in the second quarter after
declining in the first, when legislative
changes held down Federal as well as
State and local taxes. Prices paid by
consumers increased at about the 10%
percent registered in the first quarter,
and real disposable personal income declined (chart 1). This was the first decline since 1975.
The second-quarter increase in consumer prices reflected an acceleration in
energy and a deceleration in food; the
average of all other consumer prices
continued to increase at about a 7% percent annual rate.1 Chart 2 shows
monthly changes in these prices in terms
of fixedweighted price indexes for personal consumption expenditures (PCE).
For energy, which includes gasoline, fuel
oil, natural gas, and electricity, prices
accelerated sharply through April. Gasoline and fuel oil were the major factors.
Some slowing from the April rate of increase is expected for May and June.
For food, after increases of over 20 percent in January and February, partly
due to the effects of unfavorable
weather and labor difficulties on fruit
and vegetable prices, prices decelerated
through April to about 5 percent. Prices
1. 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 PCE, 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 auto inventories for April and 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, the
Producer Price Index for April and May, and unit value
indexes for exports and imports for April.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
of poultry and pork provided partial
offsets to continued sharp increases in
beef prices. Poultry prices increased
less than earlier in the year and pork
prices declined, as increased supplies
reached the market. For the quarter as
a whole, energy prices increased 40-50
percent, compared with about 20 percent in the first quarter. In contrast,
food prices increased only about onehalf as much as the 18 percent registered in the first quarter.
Real PCE declined 3-4 percent at
an annual rate in the second quarter
after little change in the first. About
three-quarters of the decline was due to
motor vehicles—both autos and trucks.
Most other categories of goods showed
continued weakness. A particularly
sharp decline in gasoline purchases can
be traced to shortages and the increase
in prices. Services increased less than
in the first quarter; first-quarter expenditures for home heating had been unusually large because of the unfavorable
weather.
Motor vehicles.—New car sales, which
are sales not only to consumers but also
to business and other final users, totaled
11.1 million (seasonally adjusted annual
rate) in April and 11.2 million in May,
down from 11.6 million in the first
quarter (chart 3). The decline was more
than accounted for by sales of domestic
cars, which dropped to 8.6 million in
April and May from 9.3 million in the

first quarter. Sales of imports were up
strongly, to 2.6-2.7 million in AprilMay from 2.3 million in the first
quarter. Sales of domestic small cars
(subcompacts and compacts) were up
almost as much as imports, to 4.1 million in April and May from 3.9 million
in the first quarter. Together, imports

and domestic small cars were 61 percent of total new car sales in both April
and May, a percentage surpassed only
in February 1975, when substantial
sales rebates on small cars were offered.
Sales of intermediate and full-size cars
declined sharply. Intermediate sales
fell to 2.3 million in April and May from

June 1979

2.8 million in the first quarter, and fullsize car sales fell to 2 million from 2.8
million.
The shift in the composition of sales
toward domestic small and imported
cars was prompted by concern over the
present and future price and availability of gasoline. A similar shift took
place during the 1973-74 gasoline shortage. Inventories have been affected by
the recent shift. After falling for 2
months, inventories of domestic cars
increased to 1,879,000 (seasonally adjusted) in May, and the inventorysales ratio reached 2.64—well above the
2 considered to be normal. Also, the
composition of inventories was unbalanced. There was an oversupply of
many intermediate and full-size cars
and a shortage of several models of
small cars. Many foreign cars were in
short supply also. Limitations on the
capacity to produce domestic small cars
and the time required to ship foreign
cars to the United States may impinge
on further increases in their sales.
The decline in truck purchases, which
began in the first quarter, accelerated
in the second. In terms of units, the
decline was in light trucks. This weight
class includes pickups and vans, which
are purchased by consumers for personal
use as well as by business. Light truck
sales fell from 3.4 million (seasonally
adjusted annual rate) in the first quarter
to 2.8 million in April and 2.7 million
in May. Sales of medium and heavy
trucks combined, at 0.4 million, averaged close to their first-quarter rate.
Other second-quarter

developments

Real residential investment continued
to decline in the second quarter. The
course of housing starts had suggested
that first-quarter construction was adversely affected not only by the unfavorable weather but by other factors
as well. The continued shortfall of
April and May starts from the fourthquarter 1978 level confirms this view.
Total housing starts averaged 1.78
million (seasonally adjusted annual
rate) in April and May, compared with
1.62 million in the first quarter and 2.08
million in the fourth (chart 4). April
and May starts fell short of the fourthquarter level in each region—by 27
percent in the Northeast, 19 percent




in the North Central region, and 9-12 sharp drop in motor vehicles. A conpercent in the West and South.

rates increased through May. The rates
on contracts and on commitments for
conventional new-house loans both increased about 30 basis points since
January. Net inflows to thrifts slowed
over the same period. Some slowdown
had been expected as a result of the
mid-March changes in regulations that
made 6-month money market certificates (MMC's) less attractive to
savers.
Regulatory changes that affect banks
and thrifts beginning July 1 were
announced at the end of May. These
changes, which will help small savers
obtain a higher return, may also increase savings inflows, although at a
higher cost for the financial institutions.

June 1979

A swing to an increase in State and local
purchases reflected a recovery of construction, which had been depressed by
the unfavorable weather.
Information on the two remaining
components of GNP—net exports ana
the change in business inventories—is
fragmentary as of mid-June (see footnote 1). Real net exports of goods and
services appear to have increased much
less than in the first quarter. Merchandise exports showed little change, as a
decline in the automotive category
about offset increases in most others.
Investment income had been unusually
high in the first quarter, mainly due to
returns on direct investment, and fell
back in the second. Merchandise imports also show little change.
It is likely that there was some stepup in real inventory investment in the
second quarter. The bulk of it probably
was due to involuntary accumulation,
although investment made to build up
inventories regarded as insufficient in
the light of sales prospects or to hedge
against shortages or inflation may also
have been a factor.
Evaluation of the information on the
demand components of real GNP
suggests that real GNP declined in the
second quarter. Information on the
motor vehicle components of GNP—
sales of autos and trucks to the various
categories of final users and the change
in inventories—is reasonably complete.
These components at an annual rate
dropped $11 billion in the second
quarter. The information on the remaining components of GNP other than
net exports and the change in business
inventories is relatively firm and indicates little change in their total.
Information on the net exports and
inventory components is fragmentary,
but it is unlikely that increases in them
will offset the decline in motor vehicles.
Employment and average hours are
shown in table 2, along with other labor
market indicators. The rapid increase
in employment, and also in the labor
force, that had characterized previous
quarters came to a halt in the second.
The household measure of employment
decreased 280,000 if May is taken as
indicative of the quarter—the first
decrease since the second quarter of
1975. The payroll measure of employ-

June 1979

ment increased 570,000 over the same
period, but the increase was less than
in each of the previous two quarters.
Average weekly hours in the private
nonfarm economy fell from 35.8 in the
first quarter to 35.6 in May. In manufacturing, the decline was sharper—
from 40.7 to 40.2. In conjunction with
the second-quarter decline in real GNP,
this information on employment and
average hours implies another quarter
of poor productivity performance.
First-quarter corporate profits
Corporate profits from current production at an annual rate decreased $8
billion in the first quarter (revised),
following an increase of $11% billion
in the fourth. This measure of profits
includes the inventory valuation and
capital consumption adjustments, and
is on a bef ore-tax basis. The first-quarter
estimate is $2% billion higher than that
published a month ago.
Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations at an annual rate decreased
$9% billion, more than accounting for
the first-quarter decline. In the fourth
quarter, they increased $10 billion. Real
corporate product increased, but not
enough to offset a sharp decline in profits per unit of real product, which in
turn reflected a faster increase in costs
incurred by corporations than in the
prices they charged. In the fourth
quarter, when profits had increased,
both real product and unit profits increased. Most of the first-quarter decrease was in nonmanufacturing industries—particularly trade. Profits in
manufacturing increased; motor vehicles
and other nondurable goods showed the
largest gains, and nonelectrical machinery and food had the only significant
decreases. Domestic profits of financial
corporations decreased $)£ billion and
profits from the rest of the world increased $2 billion. In the fourth quarter,
the former increased $1% billion, and
the latter were unchanged.
Before-tax book profits at an annual
rate increased $5 billion in the first
quarter, following a $19}£ billion increase in the fourth. These profits exclude the two valuation adjustments,
which are designed to value inventories
and fixed capital used up in production




SIIKVEY OF CURKENT BUSINESS
at replacement cost, the valuation concept underlying national income and
product accounting, rather than at
historical cost, the valuation concept
generally underlying business accounting. If, as in the first quarter, the historical cost of inventories used up is
less than their replacement cost, profits
as measured by business exceed profits
as measured in the national income and
product accounts by an amount that is
called inventory profits. Inventory
profits increased $12 billion in the first
quarter, following an increase of $7%
billion in the fourth. The first-quarter

increase resulted from an acceleration
in prices of inventories in almost all
industries.
Corporate profits taxes, which are
levied on profits including inventory
profits, at an annual rate decreased $4
billion, following an increase of $8
billion in the fourth quarter. The decrease resulted from the reduction in
Federal corporate income tax rates and
other changes provided by the Revenue
Act of 1978 and the Energy Act of 1978.
Primarily as a result of these changes,
after-tax profits increased $9 billion,
following an increase of $11 billion.

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 fixed-weighted price index uses as weights the composition
of output in 1972. Accordingly, comparisons over any timespan reflect only changes in prices

BUSINESS plans to spend $173.3
billion for new plant and equipment in
1979, according to the BEA survey
conducted in late April and May, 12.7
percent more than expenditures last
year (table I). 1 Expenditures increased
13.3 percent in 1978 and 12.7 percent
in 1977.
In the first quarter of 1979, spending
increased 1.2 percent from the fourth
quarter of 1978 to a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of $165.9 billion, after a
sharp increase—5.5 percent—in the
fourth quarter of 1978. Business plans
2.6-percent increases in the second and
third quarters of this year, and a
3.6-percent increase in the fourth.
The planned spending increase for
1979 reported in the latest survey is 1.4
percentage points higher than the 11.3
percent reported in the survey 3 months
earlier. Actual spending in the first
quarter was 1 percent higher than plans
reported earlier. Planned spending for
the second quarter is about 1% percent
higher than reported earlier and that for
the second half of the year is 1 percent
higher.
The accelerating rates of increase in
planned investment for the remaining
quarters of this year are consistent with
several other measures that serve as indicators of future investment activity.
Starts of new projects and capital appropriations in manufacturing, and new
orders for nondefense capital goods
showed sizable advances in the fourth
quarter of 1978 and the first quarter of

measures were obtained before the recent slowdown in economic activity,
which is discussed in the "Business
Situation," became evident.
The upward revision in 1979 spending plans was primarily in nonmanufacturing industries. The largest revisions were reported by "other transportation," airlines, and commercial
firms. Mining, electric utilities, and

sonally adjusted annual rate of $71.6
billion; this decline, which was in the
nondurable goods industries, followed
an 8-percent increase in the fourth
quarter. Increases of 7 percent, 4}£
percent, and 2}i percent are planned for
the second, third, and fourth quarters;
the planned increases are about equal
in durables and nondurables industries.
Planned spending for the year 1979,
$77.6 billion, is 15 percent higher than
in 1978; this compares with an actual
spending increase last year of 12% percent. Durables industries plan an increase this year of 17 percent, and nondurables industries, 13 percent. In
durables, the largest increases are in
aircraft (36 percent), electrical machinery (23 percent), and nonelectrical
machinery (19% percent). Sizable increases are also planned in motor
vehicles (16 percent) and nonferrous
metals (15 percent). In nondurables,

communication firms also revised their
plans upward. In manufacturing, upward revisions in paper, textiles, chemicals, petroleum, nonferrous metals, and
aircraft were offset by downward revisions in iron and steel, nonelectrical
machinery, stone-clay-glass, "other durables," and "other nondurables."
Neither actual nor planned expenditures reported in the surveys are adjusted for price change. Captial goods
prices, as measured by the implicit price
deflator for fixed nonresidential investment in the national income and product accounts, rose 8 percent in 1978,
indicating that real spending rose 5 percent. If spending plans reflect expectations of a similar price rise this year, a
rise in real spending of 4}£ percent is
indicated.

Manufacturing Programs
Manufacturers' spending declined 2%
percent in the first quarter, to a sea-

June 1979

the largest increases are in paper (40
percent), "other nondurables" (21 percent), and chemicals (17 percent).
Starts and carryover of projects
New investment projects started by
manufacturers during the first quarter
totaled $22 billion (seasonally adjusted), 10 percent higher than in the
fourth quarter of 1978 (table 2 and
chart 6). Starts increased 12 percent
in durables industries and 9 percent in
nondurables industries. Large increases
were reported by primary metals,

A large decrease was reported by transportation equipment.
Because the value of new projects
started in the first quarter exceeded
expenditures, carryover of manufacturing projects increased. At the end of
March, carryover totaled $52.9 billion,
$4.1 billion higher than at the end of
December.

December to March; the changes that
occurred were generally small. The
largest change was in stone-clay-glass:
a 6-point decline, to 78 percent. Among
the other durables industries, electrical
machinery and aircraft increased 2
points, to 84 percent and 74 percent,
respectively. In nondurables industries,
rubber increased 3 points, to 87 percent, and paper increased 2 points, to

Nonmanufacturing
Programs
Spending by nonmanufacturing industries increased 4 percent from the
fourth to the first quarter, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $94.4
billion; spending had increased 3K
percent in the fourth quarter. The
largest first-quarter increases were in
the mining and transportation industries. Plans call for a one-half of 1
percent decline in the second quarter,
a 1-percent increase in the third, and
4-percent increase in the fourth. The
fourth-quarter planned increase reflects large increases for railroads, gas
utilities, and communication firms.
For the year 1979, planned spending
is $95.7 billion, 11 percent more than
last year. The largest increases are
planned by the transportation indus-

1977,1978, and Planned 1979
B,BUSINESS plans to spend $7.3 bil-

lion in 1979 for new plant and equipment to abate air and water pollution
and to dispose of solid waste, 6 percent
more than in 1978, according to a
survey conducted by BEA in late
November and December of 1978 (table
I). 1 Spending in 1978 is estimated at
$6.9 billion, unchanged from 1977. Plans
for a 3-percent increase in 1978 reported
in a survey conducted a year earlier did
not materialize, mainly because manufacturing industries spent less than
planned.
In 1979, business plans to increase
capital spending for air pollution abatement (PA) 8 percent (to $4.0 billion),
for water PA 2 percent (to $2.9 billion),
and for solid waste PA 8 percent (to
$0.5 billion). If these plans are realized,
54 percent of PA capital spending will
be for air, 39 percent for water, and 7
percent for solid waste. From 1973
to 1976, the air share fell 7 percentage
points while the water share rose 7
points; both changed less than 1 point
from 1976 to 1978. The solid waste
share fluctuated during 1973-78 but
ended 2 points above 1973.
Business plans to allocate about 79
percent of air and water PA capital
spending to end-of-line methods in 1979,
an increase of less than one-half a per1. 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 in Constant and Current Dollars, 1972-77," February 1979 SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS.

Business capital expenditures for pollution abatement are
universe estimates 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 product.

centage point (table 2).2 There was a
significant rise in the share from 76
percent in 1973 to 82 percent in 1975
followed by declines in 1976, 1977, and
1978.
Capital spending for PA planned for
this year is 4.3 percent of total new
plant and equipment spending. This
percentage is down from 4.5 percent in
1978 and 5.1 percent in 1977.
Price change and real spending
Real spending for PA decreased 6
percent in 1978, as prices for PA capital
goods, measured by the preliminary implicit price deflator for business PA
capital spending, increased 7 percent.3
If businessmen expect prices to increase
this year at the same rate as last year,
a 1-percent decline in real PA spending
is indicated for 1979. Decreases in real
PA capital spending in 1978 and 1979
are consistent with the absence of major
Federal regulatory deadlines for air and
water PA in those 2 years. However,

deadlines for stationary sources have
been set for the early 1980's and could
affect capital spending in those years.
(A mobile source requirement for passenger cars in 1980 will not affect this
series because pollution control devices
on these vehicles are not included.)
Price changes as measured by the implicit price deflator for PA capital
spending and its air, water, and solid
waste components during 1973-78 are
summarized in the accompanying tabulation. Prices for PA capital goods in-

2. End-of-line methods involve the separation, treatment,
or reuse of pollutants after they are generated but before they
are emitted from thefirm'sproperty. Changes-in-productionprocess methods involve the modification of existing production processes or the substitution of new processes to
reduce or eliminate the pollutants generated. Solid waste
capital PA expenditures are not allocated between the two
methods.
Changes-in-production-process expenditures are the result
of an attempt to identify the PA part of capital expenditures
made jointly for conventional production and abatement.
Identifying the PA part of joint expenditures is difficult for
respondents and therefore care should be exercised when
using these data.
In prior years, changes-in-production-process expenditures
were shown in table 2. This year end-of-line expenditures
are shown because these are the larger and more easily
measured part of PA expenditures.
3. The implicit price deflator for PA capital spending is
based on components of Chemical Engineering's Plant Cost
Index; Environmental Protection Agency's Large City Advanced (Wastewater) Treatment Cost Index; Whitman,
Requardt and Associates' Cost Index; Bureau of Labor
Statistics' Procucer's Price Index; and indexes prepared by
BEA. All the indexes, except the second, depend heavily on
price information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Index
selections and weights differ for air, water, and solid waste.
Within the air and water categories, indexes and weights
differ for manufacturing, electric utilities, and other nonmanufacturing. See the February 1979 SURVEY article cited
earlier for additional information.

The certainty of penalties for violation
as well as the speed with which the
deadlines would be enforced were clearer
for the water deadline than for the air
deadline. Consistent with business reaction to these differences, a 16-percent
rise in water PA spending in 1975 and
10-percent rise in 1976 mainly reflect
preparation for the water deadline.
4. 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.
See "Capital Expenditures by Business for Pollution
Abatement, 1973-77 and Planned 1978," in the June 1978
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS for an analysis of changes in

the ratio of PA capital spending to total new plant and equipment spending. This analysis is designed to isolate the effect
of deadlines on PA capital spending from the effect of the
complementarity factor.

Such preparation was not evident for
the air deadline. The only rise in air
PA spending was in 1975 and was less
than one-half of 1 percent. There have
been no major deadlines pertaining to
solid waste disposal, and year-to-year
variations in solid waste capital spending have been consistent for the most
part with changes in total new plant

Six of the 22 industries shown in
table 1 account for 78 percent of current-dollar PA spending for 1979, and
all 6 show increases for that year (see
accompanying tabulation). All six, except motor vehicles, plan to allocate
more than the all-industry average of
4.3 percent of new plant and equipment spending for PA. The only other
industries planning to spend more than
the all-industry average are nonferrous
metals (7.6 percent) and stone-clayglass (5.7 percent).
Of the 22 industries, those with the
largest average annual increases in PA
capital spending from 1973 to 1978
were: petroleum, 17 percent; railroads,
16 percent; "other transportation/'
16 percent; mining, 15 percent; and
steel, 14 percent. The industries with
the largest decreases were: nonferrous
metals, 14 percent; paper, 8 percent;
and "other durables," 6 percent.

were $2.9 billion, $0.1 billion less than
in 1977 (table 1).
U.S. travelers spent $8.5 billion in
foreign countries, $1 billion or 14 percent more than in 1977. Much of the increase reflected inflation in foreign
countries and depreciation of the dollar
against a number of major foreign currencies. If adjusted for changes in foreign consumer prices and dollar exchange rates, travel expenditures in
constant (1972) dollars increased only
2 percent (chart 10). U.S. travelers
paid $2.9 billion in passenger fares to
foreign carriers, up $0.2 billion. They
also paid $1.8 billion in passenger fares
to U.S. carriers, slightly more than in
1977.2
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 table 1,2, and
10 of the quarterly presentation of U.S. international transactions. Travel 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.




Thirty-two million U.S. travelers
spent $1.4 billion for travel in Canada,
down slightly from the previous year.
The average expenditure per traveler
was unchanged, at $45. Although the
U.S. dollar appreciated in value against
the Canadian dollar in 1978, price increases in Canada were more than offsetting. As a result, overall costs increased about 2 percent.

U.S. Consumer Price Index, the constant (1972) dollar increase was about

paid $1.2 billion in passenger fares to
U.S. carriers, up $0.2 billion.3

partly reflected the inclusion in total
expenditures of air fares paid to
Canadian carriers.
British Columbia and the Yukon
were the only provinces to have a
significant increase in the number of
U.S. travelers. Both the number of
travelers and total expenditures in this
area increased 6 percent from 1977. The
number of travelers to Ontario declined
slightly and expenditures were down
8 percent. Ontario remained the major
province of entry; it received 65 percent
of all U.S. travelers to Canada. The
number of travelers to the remaining
provinces decreased 4 percent and
expenditures increased 1 percent.
U.S. travelers spent $2.1 billion in
Mexico, an increase of $0.2 billion, or
11 percent. A 32-percent increase in
spending in Mexico's interior reflected
both an increase in the number of
travelers and higher expenditures.
Border area expenditures were down 3

expenditures. Although the dollar-peso
exchange rate was stable over the year,
an inflation rate in Mexico more than
double that in the United States
probably discouraged purchases in Mexico by U.S. border area residents.
Overseas travel.—A 21-percent increase in U.S. travel expenditures overseas far outpaced the increase in travel
expenditures in Canada and Mexico.
Overseas spending increased $0.8
billion, more than twice the 1977 increase, to $4.9 billion. The number of
U.S. travelers overseas was up 0.4
million to 7.8 million (table 3). Over
one-half of them visited Europe and the
Mediterranean area, where expenditures totaled $2.9 billion, up $0.5
billion. The average cost per trip was
$1,265, an 8-percent increase. Average
expenditures within countries were $717,

an increase of 17 percent, and transocean fares averaged $548, slightly less
than the year before. The average
tourist visited 2 countries and stayed
overseas 20 days, one day longer than
in 1977 (table 4). Charter trips to
Europe and the Mediterranean area
cost $1,013 on average, $386 for transocean fares and $627 for travel within
countries.
Air departures to Europe increased
7 percent in 1978, reflecting a 23-percent increase in travel on scheduled
carriers and a 31-percent decrease in
charter travel. The proportion of total
travelers on scheduled flights increased
from 72 percent in 1977 to 82 percent,
as scheduled carriers cut into the
charter market by offering competitively priced fares and more flexibility
in travel to Europe. Air departures to

Foreign travel in the United States
Canada and Mexico.—Canadian and
Mexican visitors to the United States
spent $3.7 billion, $0.2 billion more than
in 1977. Their expenditures accounted
for 51 percent of all travel expenditures
in the United States, down from 56 percent in 1977 (table 6).
The number of Canadians visiting
the United States was down 2 percent
to 37 million. Higher average expenditures more than offset this drop, and
total spending was up 5 percent to $2.2
billion. The depreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar and
the decline in the real wages of Canadians probably contributed to the decline in the number of visitors. The
increased average expenditures probably reflected higher prices for tourist
goods and services in the United States.
The first quarter was the only period
in which the number of Canadian
visitors increased, compared with comparable periods in 1977, indicating a
growing preference for winter vacations
in the south. Average expenditures for
this period were $90 per visitor, higher
than for any other quarter.
Canadian visitors who entered the
United States and returned the same
day accounted for 69 percent of the
total. Seventy-two percent of all visitors
staying one or more nights traveled by
auto, 22 percent by air, and the remainder by bus, train, boat, or other




means. In recent years, the proportion
of air travelers has increased at the
expense of auto travelers.
Canadian visitors staying one or more
nights spent an average of $158 per
person, and stayed 9 days. Forty percent came from the province of Ontario,
23 percent from Quebec, and 17 percent
from British Columbia. The Middle
Atlantic and Pacific regions of the
United States each accounted for about
19 percent of all Canadian tourists, the
South Atlantic region for 17 percent,
and New England for 16 percent.
Mexican visitors to the United States
spent $1.5 billion, an 11-percent increase from 1977. Mexican visits to the
U.S. interior were boosted by a U.S.Mexican agreement that became effective in early 1978 and provided for
many new air routes. There was a 45percent increase in expenditures in the
interior, and a 1-percent drop in expenditures in the U.S. border area. Mexican
expenditures in the border area accounted for 65 percent of total U.S.
travel receipts from Mexico, down from
73 percent in 1977 and 75 percent in
1974.
Overseas visitors.—A 33-percent increase in expenditures of overseas
visitors to the United States far outpaced the increase in expenditures of
Canadian and Mexican visitors. Overseas visitors spent $3.6 billion, $0.9
billion more than in 1977. Their number
increased 1.2 million, to 5.7 million.
Eighty percent were on pleasure trips,
up from 78 percent the previous year.
The proportion of travelers on business
trips was unchanged at 14 percent
(table 7).
The number of visitors from Western
Europe increased 30 percent to 2.5
million, and accounted for 43 percent
of all overseas visitors. Their expenditures increased 36 percent, to $1.4
billion, and accounted for 38 percent
of total expenditures by visitors from
overseas. The number of visitors from
Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands increased 33 percent; dollar depreciation against their currencies made
travel to the United States less expensive in terms of their currencies.
Receipts from German visitors were 30
percent higher, those from Swiss visitors

were 45 percent higher, and those from
Netherlands visitors were 56 percent
higher than in 1977. The opening of
several new air routes, the availability
of budget air fares, and entry of new
carriers to the United States-United
Kingdom air travel market attracted
more visitors from the United Kingdom; their spending here increased 55
percent.
The number of visitors from the
Caribbean area and Central America
increased 22 percent to 0.7 million.
Average expenditures were down
slightly; total expenditures increased
20 percent, to $0.3 billion.
South American visitors increased
spending 48 percent, to $0.7 billion,
mainly reflecting a 35-percent increase
in the number of visitors, to 0.8 million.
South American expenditures accounted for 9 percent of total travel
expenditures in the United States, up
from 7 percent.
Visitors from other areas increased
their expenditures 27 percent, to $1.2
billion. The number of visitors totaled
1.8 million, up 22 percent; one-half of
the'total came from Japan. Japanese
expenditures here were $0.5 billion, a
20-percent increase. Dollar depreciation
against the Japanese yen made travel
in the United States less expensive than
in 1977, more than offsetting U.S.
price increases.

US. International Transactions,
First Quarter 1979
XJL marked slowdown in the net rise in
both U.S. assets abroad and foreign
assets in the United States highlighted
U.S. international transactions in the
first quarter. U.S. assets abroad increased $6.2 billion, compared with a
fourth-quarter increase of $30.3 billion.
Claims on foreigners reported by U.S.
banks decreased $5.8 billion, in contrast to a record $22.0 billion fourthquarter increase. The decline reflected
the repayment of some previous dollar
borrowings as the dollar appreciated
in exchange markets, high U.S. interest
rates, and the usual reversal of yearend
transactions. Among other U.S. assets
abroad, outflows for U.S. direct investments increased $1.6 billion, to
$6.3 billion; an increase in equity and
intercompany accounts more than offset
a decline in reinvested earnings. U.S.
official reserve assets increased $3.6
billion, reflecting the acquisition of
German marks and Swiss francs, and

an increase in holdings of special drawing rights (SDRs). Net U.S. purchases
of foreign securities were $1.1 billion,
little changed from the fourth quarter.
Foreign assets in the United States
increased $4.3 billion, compared with
$29.2 billion in the fourth quarter.
Foreign official assets decreased $8.5
billion, in contrast to an $18.8 billion
increase, reflecting intervention sales of
dollars in exchange markets by several
major industrial countries to support
their currencies. Official dollar holdings
of OPEC members and non-OPEC developing countries also declined. Other
foreign assets increased $12.8 billion,
$2.4 billion more than in the fourth
quarter. Liabilities to private foreigners
and international financial institutions
reported by U.S. banks increased $10.7
billion, compared with $9.1 billion. Net
foreign purchases of U.S. securities
other than U.S. Treasury securities in-

creased $0.3 billion, to $0.8 billion; an
increase in stock and bond purchases
was partly offset by net sales of bonds
by international financial institutions.
Foreign direct investments in the
United States increased $0.3 billion,
to $1.3 billion, reflecting larger inflows
on equity and intercompany accounts.
The balance on current account
shifted to a surplus of $0.2 billion—
the first surplus since the fourth quarter
of 1976—from a $0.3 billion deficit.
Net service receipts increased $0.2 billion, to $7.6 billion; direct investment
and U.S. Government income receipts,
and transfers under military sales contracts increased more than payments
of income on foreign assets in the United
States. The merchandise trade deficit
narrowed $0.3 billion, to $6.1 billion,
as exports increased faster than imports.
Unilateral transfers were unchanged at
$1.3 billion.

ports more than accounted for the
increase. They increased 7 percent in
value, to $33.7 billion, and 5 percent
in volume. All major end-use categories
increased; capital goods and industrial
supplies registered the largest increases.
One-half of the total $2.2 billion nonagricultural export rise was accounted
for by exports of chemicals and gold.
Capital goods increased $1 billion;
almost three-fifths of the increase was
in civilian aircraft, probably reflecting
continued modernization of fleets
abroad. Exports of machinery increased
$0.3 billion, led by exports of nonelectrical machinery. Automotive exports
to areas other than Canada increased
$0.2 billion; the "downsizing" of American cars and the lagged effects of the
depreciation of the dollar through most
of 1978 contributed to the increase.
Agricultural exports declined 2 percent, to $7.6 billion; volume declined
more—7 percent—as prices of major
commodities increased. Soybean prices
increased 9 percent, corn 5 percent,
and wheat and cotton 4 percent each.
Exports of grains declined $0.2 billion,
or 6 percent; partly offsetting was an
increase in soybeans exports of $0.1
billion. An increase in agricultural exports to Eastern Europe and to countries
in Asia and Africa was more than offset
by a decline to Latin America, Western
Europe, and Japan.
Imports increased $1.8 billion, or 4
percent, to $47.4 billion; volume was
virtually unchanged. Nonpetroleum imports increased $0.9 billion, to $35.8
billion; volume was unchanged. Capital
goods showed the largest increase—8
percent. Industrial supplies and materials were unchanged. Iron and steel
declined 12 percent, and nonferrous
metals 6 percent; these declines were
offset by increases in paper, nonmetals,
and materials associated with nondurable goods and farm output. Automotive
imports from areas other than Canada
declined 10 percent; sales of imports,
which were strong, led to a reduction in
inventories. Imports of foods declined,
reflecting a 13 percent reduction in
coffee imports.
Petroleum imports, which are not
adjusted for seasonal variation (see
technical notes), increased 8 percent,
to $11.6 billion; volume increased 2

30
percent. The volume increase reflected
some increase in domestic demand and
probably some buying in anticipation
of further price increases. The unit
value index for petroleum was up 5
percent, reflecting the first round of new
OPEC price increases.
The U.S. bilateral trade balances
with most major areas improved, in
most cases reflecting continued export
expansion and a moderation in import
growth. The deficits with Canada, Japan, and non-OPEC developing countries narrowed $0.2 billion each, to $0.5
billion, $2.2 billion, and $0.6 billion,
respectively. The surplus with Western
Europe and Eastern Europe increased
$1.8 billion and $0.3 billion to $3.2
billion and $0.6 billion, respectively, as
exports increased and imports decreased. In contrast, the deficit with
OPEC members increased from $4.7
billion to $5.3 billion, as petroleum imports increased both in volume and
price, and exports, principally to Iran,
declined.

Transportation receipts and payments

Direct investment income increased
$0.4 billion, to $8.0 billion. Receipts of
interest, dividends, and earnings of
unincorporated affiliates increased $0.6

fourth-quarter record, but, at $4.1
billion, remained strong, especially for
the European Communities and Canada. Income from other private assets
increased $0.5 billion, to $5.4 billion,
primarily reflecting higher interest
rates.
Income payments on foreign assets
in the United States increased $0.8
billion, to $7.1 billion, reflecting increases in income payments on U.S.
Government and private assets of $0.3
billion and $0.5 billion, respectively,
both due to higher U.S. interest rates.
Income payments on foreign direct
investments in the United States were
unchanged at $1 billion.

ments for petroleum imports were
mostly offset by lower freight payments
for other imports.
U.S. assets abroad
U.S. assets abroad increased $6.2
billion in the first quarter, only 20
percent of the fourth-quarter increase.
A sharp decline in net claims on
foreigners reported by U.S. banks—
in contrast to a substantial increase in
the fourth quarter—more than accounted for the slowdown.
Net claims on foreigners reported by
U.S. banks declined $5.8 billion (capital
inflow), compared with a $22 billion
increase (capital outflow) in the fourth
quarter (chart 12). The shift reflected
the appreciation of the dollar in exchange markets, which led to repayment of some previous dollar borrowings, and higher interest rates in the
United States than abroad, in addition
to the usual reversal of yearend transactions. There was a $3.7 billion reduction in claims among Western European countries. Inflows from France and
United Kingdom were especially large,
partly offset by outflows to BelgiumLuxembourg. Inflows from banks in
the Caribbean and from Asian countries
were $2.7 billion and $0.5 billion,
respectively.
Net capital outflows for U.S. direct
investments abroad increased $1.6 billion, to $6.3 billion. Net outflows for
equity and intercompany accounts increased $1.9 billion, to $2.2 billion:
reinvested earnings of incorporated
affiliates declined $0.3 billion, to $4.1
billion, still a very high level. Among
equity and intercompany accounts, for
petroleum affiliates there was a shift to
qutflows of $0.4 billion from fourthquarter inflows of $1.2 billion. The shift
was more than accounted for by an
affiliate in the Middle East; partly offsetting were smaller outflows to petroleum affiliates in Canada and a shift to
inflows from affiliates in the United
Kingdom. Outflows to nonpetroleum
affiliates increased $0.2 billion, to $1.7
billion. A shift to outflows to Western
European affiliates more than offset a
decrease in outflows to Other Western
Hemisphere affiliates.
U.S. official reserve assets increased

June 1979

$3.6 billion in the first quarter, in contrast to a $0.2 billion decline in the
fourth. U.S. holdings of special drawing
rights (SDKs) increased $1.1 billion,
primarily reflecting the first allocation
of SDKs by the International Monetary
Fund since 1972. Foreign currency
holdings of the United States also increased, reflecting the acquisition of
German marks and Swiss francs from
the sale of U.S. Treasury note issues
denominated in those currencies as part
of the dollar support program announced November 1.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign securities increased $0.1 billion to $1.1
billion. Foreign new issues declined $0.2
billion to $1.5 billion; the absence of
Canadian Government borrowing was
partly offset by an increase in other
Canadian, Western European, and international financial institution new
issues. Net sales and redemptions of
outstanding stocks and bonds were
$0.5 billion, compared with $0.6 billion.
Foreign assets in the United States
Foreign assets in the United States
increased $4.3 billion in the first quarter,
almost $25 billion less than in the
fourth quarter. The slowdown was due
to a reduction in dollar assets of foreign
official agencies.
Foreign official agencies reduced their
dollar assets $8.5 billion (table B). In
contrast, in the fourth quarter, when
the dollar had been under pressure in
exchange markets, they had increased
their dollar assets $18.8 billion. The
first-quarter reduction was largely accounted for by industrial countries,
whose dollar assets declined $7 billion,
primarily reflecting net intervention
sales of dollars by several major
countries—particularly Japan, Germany, and Switzerland—to limit the
depreciation of their currencies during
the quarter. Assets of OPEC members
and non-OPEC developing countries in
the United States decreased $1.1 billion
and $0.4 billion, respectively.
Liabilities to private foreigners and
international financial institutions reported by U.S banks (lines 68, 72, and
73, table 1) increased $10.7 billion,
following a $9.1 billion increase in the
fourth quarter. The sale of mark- and
franc-denonimated U.S. Treasury notes




SUEVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
to German and Swiss residents, respectively, accounted for $2.6 billion of
the first-quarter increase. Among other
bank-reported liabilities, there was a
$7.6 billion increase in liabilities to
Caribbean financial centers, compared
with a small decrease in the fourth
quarter. Liabilities to Japan increased
$2.3 billion, and liabilities to Western
Europe decreased $0.4 billion.
Net foreign purchases of U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury
securities were $0.8 billion, $0.2 billion
more than in the fourth quarter. An
increase in both stock and bond pur-

31
chases was partly offset by net sales of
bonds by international financial institutions. Also, there was a shift to
purchases of U.S. stocks by Western
European countries in the first quarter.
Inflows for foreign direct investments
in the United States increased $0.3
billion, to $1.3 billion. Net inflows on
equity and intercompany accounts more
than accounted for the increase; larger
inflows from the United Kingdom and
Canada were partly offset by smaller
inflows from other Western European
affiliates and larger outflows to other
areas. Reinvested earnings were virtually unchanged.

Technical Notes
AS is customary each June, estimates
of U.S. international transactions are
revised to incorporate new information.
Revised annual estimates for 1960-78
and quarterly estimates for 1970-78 are
presented in tables 1 and 2. Revised
annual estimates for 1970-78 and quarterly estimates for 1977 and 1978 are
presented in table 3. Revised annual
estimates for 1976-78 and quarterly
estimates for 1977 and 1978 are presented in tables 4-10. Table 10a presents revised annual estimates for
1976-78.
Seasonal adjustments for current
account items and for changes in U.S.
Government assets were recalculated by
extending through 1978 the period used
to derive seasonal adjustment factors.
The new factors were applied to quarterly data for 1977 and 1978, with two
exceptions. Beginning with the first
quarter of 1977, seasonal adjustments
for U.S. Government grants, excluding
military grants of goods and services
(table 2, line 34), and U.S. loans and
other long-term assets (table 2, line 44)
were suspended, because these items no
longer showed a statistically significant
seasonal pattern. In addition, a new
method of seasonal adjustment for merchandise exports and imports (table 2,
lines 2 and 18) was introduced by the
Census Bureau in January 1979 and
applied to quarterly data for 1977 and
1978 (see below).

Realized gains and losses on certain
U.S.
Government foreign currency
transactions have been reclassified from
the current to the capital accounts (see
below). The reclassification was applied
to quarterly data beginning in 1961.
Merchandise trade
Seasonally adjusted data for total
exports and imports, Census basis,
(table 3, lines Al and All, respectively)
reflect the new seasonal adjustment
method introduced by the Census
Bureau in January 1979, and applied
retroactively to 1977 and 1978. Under
the new method, export and import
totals represent the sum of seasonally
adjusted Standard International Trade
Classification commodity components.
Component series not exhibiting a
statistically significant seasonal pattern
are not seasonally adjusted. Under the
old method, the export total and the
import total were seasonally adjusted
independent of their components.
As in the past, the seasonally adjusted
quarterly totals, Census basis, represent
the sum of the Census basis 3-month
totals. These totals are then used to
derive seasonally adjusted quarterly
merchandise trade statistics on a balance
of payments basis (table 2, lines 2 and
18, and table 3, lines A10 and A18).

should not be seasonally adjusted. Tests
conducted by BEA indicated that
quarterly petroleum and products import data (table 3, lines C24 and D58)
exhibit some seasonality. Nevertheless,
BEA has suspended seasonal adjustment of petroleum imports pending
completion of a review of seasonal
adjustment procedures.
Foreign currency

transactions

Valuation gains and losses realized
by U.S. monetary authorities from
acquisitions or borrowings of foreign
currencies and sales or repayments of
these currencies at varying exchange
rates are now included in transactions
values for U.S. foreign currency reserve
assets (table 1, line 42) and in U.S.
Treasury securities (table 1, lines 59
and 68), as appropriate. Previously,




these gains and losses were recorded
(net) in U.S. Government income
(table 1, line 15). (Interest earned and
paid on these transactions is still included in the current account.)
Several recent developments contributed to the change in treatment. As
a result of changes in accounting practices for foreign exchange operations,
both the U.S. Treasury Exchange
Stabilization Fund (beginning in its
1978 fiscal year) and the Federal Eeserve System (beginning with its annual
statement of condition at the end of
1978) now periodically revalue, in
dollars, all foreign currency assets and
liabilities at current market rates.
In addition, the scale and variety of
financing techniques increased substantially in late 1978 with increased
utilization of official reciprocal currency arrangements, the U.S. Treasury's drawing on its reserve position
with the International Monetary Fund

June 1979

(IMF), the sale of special drawing
rights to Germany and Japan, and the
sale of U.S. Treasury notes denominated in marks and francs in the
German and Swiss capital markets.
Also, arrangements were made with
foreign monetary authorities to revalue
at current market rates, beginning in
January 1979, all maturing drawings
that were being renewed under offioial
reciprocal currency arrangements.
The recording change is consistent
with recommendations in the fourth
edition (1977) of the IMF Balance of
Payments Manual. It also places the
recording of U.S. official reserve foreign
currency assets on the same basis as
the recording of official reserve transactions in special drawing rights (table
1, line 40), official reserve transactions
affecting the reserve position with the
IMF (table 1, line 41), and transactions
in U.S. Government assets other than
official reserve assets (table 1, line 43).
