increased less in the second quarter
than in the first, according to the
"flash" estimates. Real GNP increased at an annual rate of 5Vz percent, compared with 9l/2 percent in
the first quarter, and the GNP fixedweighted price index increased 3Vfe
percent, compared with 5 percent in
the first quarter (table I).1
The deceleration in real GNP can
be traced to inventories. After a positive $22 billion contribution to the
change in real GNP in the first quarter, inventories contributed negatively to the change in the second.
Total final sales accelerated to
about double the first-quarter rate of
4 percent. The total includes the inventory transactions of the Commodity Credit Corporation (COG). These
transactions, largely reflecting the
transfer of crops to farmers under the

1. Quarterly estimates in the national income and
product accounts are expressed at seasonally adjusted
annual rates, and quarterly changes in them are differences between these rates. Quarter-to-quarter percent changes are annualized. Real, or constant-dollar,
estimates are expressed in 1972 dollars.
The procedures used to prepare the "flash" estimates—that is, estimates prepared 15 days before the
end of the quarter—are the same as those used to prepare the estimates released after the end of the quarter. However, the source data that are available are
limited to only 1 or 2 months of the quarter, and, in
some cases, are preliminary. BEA makes projections of
the missing source data. The major source data that
are available are: For personal consumption expenditures (PCE), April and May retail sales, unit sales of
new autos through the first 10 days of June, and sales
of new 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
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 GNP
prices, the Consumer Price Index for April, and the
Producer Price Index for April.




payment-in-kind (PIK) program, held
down the increase in final sales in the
first (and also the fourth) quarter, but
added to it in the second. Final sales
excluding CCC transactions increased
5 percent in the first quarter and
about 7 percent in the second. (For
quarters in which PIK transactions
are large, this variant of final sales is
more useful in assessing the underlying strength of demand than is total
final sales.) The acceleration was
partly attributable to net exports,
which declined less in the second
quarter than in the first. Final sales
to domestic purchasers (also adjusted
to exclude the CCC) increased only
slightly more than the TVk-percent
rate in the first quarter. As indicated
in the following highlights of secondquarter developments in real GNP,
prices, and personal income, the evidence available in mid-June suggests
that most other major components of
GNP registered changes similar to
those in the first quarter.
• Personal consumption expenditures increased
at about the same
strong rate—6l/2 percent—as in the
first quarter. Durable goods purchases
increased less than in the first quarter, largely reflecting the pattern of
motor vehicle sales. As discussed later
in the "Business Situation," auto

sales changed little after a very
strong increase, but truck sales
strengthened. Purchases of both nondurable goods and services were up
more than in the first quarter. In
nondurables, food increased after a
decline; in services, the pickup was
largely in net foreign travel.
• Nonresidential fixed investment
increased slightly more than the 16percent rate in the first quarter.
Structures again were up strongly;
the second-quarter strength was in
commercial buildings and in public
utilities. Producers' durable equipment, with a widespread increase,
was up more than in the first quarter.
As discussed in the article on the
BEA plant and equipment expenditures survey, the strength of investment in recent quarters and the increase planned for the rest of 1984
are consistent with favorable developments in a number of investment indicators.
• Residential investment increased
less than in the first quarter. In the
first quarter, when residential investment increased 26V2 percent, housing
starts had averaged 1.96 million (seasonally adjusted annual rate). In
April and May, they averaged 1.89
million. Reflecting the pattern of
housing starts, most of the decelera-

tion in investment was in singlefamily housing units.
• Inventories accumulated at a substantial rate, but less than in the first
quarter. Accordingly, they contributed negatively to the change in real
GNP; in the first quarter, a step-up in
the rate of accumulation had contributed a positive $22 billion. Motor vehicle inventories—the only part of inventories for which information about
second-quarter developments is reasonably complete—were down sharply. Only fragmentary information is
available about farm inventories; it
appears that accumulation was substantial, but less than the $8% billion
rate in the first quarter. In contrast
to the preceding two quarters, the
transfer of crops to farmers under
PIK—which appears in the national
income and product accounts as farm
inventory accumulation—was small,
because the PIK program was being
phased out. However, other farm inventories increased after 2 years of
runoff. Nonfarm inventories other
than motor vehicles appear to have
registered substantial accumulation,
probably somewhat more than the
$17 ¥2 billion rate in the first quarter.
• For net exports, limited evidence
suggests a decline roughly one-half
the size of the $10 Vk billion first-quarter decline. Both exports and imports
increased in the second quarter, but
the increase in imports was larger.
Imports continued to reflect the U.S.
economic expansion and the strength
of the dollar.
• Government purchases increased
sharply after a $1V2 billion decline in
the first quarter. In the first quarter,
CCC transactions—largely PIK—had
declined $4 billion, more than accounting for the decline in Federal
purchases. In the second quarter,
with the phasing out of PIK, these
transactions accounted for a substantial increase. Other Federal nondefense purchases again changed little,
and defense purchases increased
somewhat more than in the first
quarter. State and local purchases increased moderately in both quarters,
mainly due to increases in purchases
of structures.
• In the GNP fixed-weighted price
index, the deceleration of about ll/z
percentage points was largely due to
food prices. In the first quarter, prices
of the food components of GNP had
increased 11V2 percent; in the second




quarter, the increase was only 1 or 2
percent. The effect of a Federal pay
raise, which had added 0.6 percentage
point to the first-quarter increase in
the GNP price index, accounted for
the rest of the deceleration.
• Personal income increased about
$53 billion, following an extraordinarily large—$91 billion—increase in the
first quarter. The deceleration largely
reflected Federal subsidy payments to

farmers. These subsidies, primarily
under the PIK program, had added
$10 % billion to the change in farm
proprietors' income in the first quarter; their winding down subtracted
about twice that much in the second.
The remaining major components of
personal income registered increases
about in line with those in the first
quarter: Personal interest income and
transfer payments were up a little
more; wage and salary disbursements
and nonfarm proprietors' income
were up a little less. Personal contributions for social insurance, which
are subtracted in deriving the personal income total, increased less than in
the first quarter, when they had been
boosted by several legislated changes
in social security.
The deceleration in personal
income carried through to disposable
income; personal taxes were up about
the same in both quarters. Despite a
slowing in price increases, real disposable income increased only about onehalf as much as the 10-percent rate in
the first quarter. The increase in personal outlays exceeded that in disposable income, so personal saving declined. The saving rate fell about onehalf percentage point from 5.9 percent in the first quarter.

Motor vehicles
Real motor vehicle output declined
about $6 Ms billion in the second quarter, following a $5x/2 billion increase
in the first. The swing was more than
accounted for by auto output. Sales of
autos changed little after a very
strong increase in the first quarter,
and inventories fell after an increase.
Truck output was up strongly for the
sixth consecutive quarter. Sales increased considerably more than in the
first quarter; inventories increased
less than in the first quarter.
Unit sales of new cars steadied at
about 10.6 million (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the second quarter,
following sharp increases in the preceding two quarters (chart 1). The
slowing growth in disposable income,
increases in interest rates on consumer loans, and shortages in supplies of some models contributed to
the flattening of sales.
Sales of imported cars declined
slightly to about 2.2 million from 2.3
million in the first quarter, and their
market share slipped to 21 percent

1. Not at annual rates.
NOTE.—For the first quarter of 1984, the following revised or additional major source data became available: For personal
consumption expenditures, revised retail sales for March, consumer share of new car purchases for February, and consumption of
electricity for March; for nonresidential fixed investment, revised manufacturers' shipments of equipment for March, revised
construction put in place for March, and business share of new car purchases for February; for residential investment, revised
construction put in place for March, and residential alterations and repairs for the quarter; for change in business inventories,
revised book values for manufacturing and trade for March; for net exports of goods and services, revised merchandise trade for
the quarter, and revised service receipts for the quarter; for government purchases of goods and services, revised construction put
in place for March; for wages and salaries, revised employment, average hourly earnings, and average weekly hours for March;
for net interest, financial assets held by households for the quarter, and revised net interest received from abroad for the quarter;
for corporate profits, revised domestic book profits for the quarter, and revised profits from the rest of the world for the quarter;
and for GNP prices, revised residential housing prices for the quarter.

from 22 percent. A weakness in Japanese car sales in the beginning of the
quarter probably reflected supply
shortages; several manufacturers had
reduce^ shipments to the United
States to comply with the March 31
cutoff of the voluntary quota agreement.
Sales of domestic cars increased
slightly to about 8.3 million from 8.2
million in the first quarter. A step-up
in subcompact car sales more than accounted for the increase. Compact car
and intermediate car sales changed
little, and full-size and luxury car
sales declined slightly. Sales of some
domestic models may have been constrained by shortages, particularly
toward the end of the quarter.
Domestic car production dropped to
7.2 million (seasonally adjusted
annual rate) in the second quarter
from 8.9 million in the first. Part of
the drop was due to shutdowns of
three assembly plants that had been




producing rear-wheel drive cars. After
extensive remodeling and retooling,
two of these plants will produce frontwheel drive cars, and the third will
produce small vans.
Domestic car inventories fell sharply to 1.43 million (seasonally adjusted)
in May from 1.61 million in March,
and a further reduction appears
likely in June. The ratio of inventories to sales fell from 2.3 in the first
quarter to below 2.0, the ratio generally considered desirable by the industry. Further, supplies of some individual models are much tighter. Shortages probably will persist well into
the third quarter.
Unit sales of new trucks increased
to about 4.2 million (seasonally adjusted annual rate) from 3.8 million in
the first quarter. Both consumer and
business purchases
strengthened.
Sales of light domestic trucks increased strongly to about 3.4 million
in the second quarter, their highest

level in more than 5 years. Sales of
"other" domestic trucks were up
sharply to about 0.29 million. Imported truck sales changed little from 0.55
million in the first quarter. Despite
another substantial increase in production, inventories declined in the
second quarter.
First-quarter corporate profits
Profits from current production—
profits with inventory valuation and
capital consumption adjustments—increased $13% billion in the first quarter, to $281 % billion, following a $20
billion increase in the fourth quarter.
The first-quarter estimate is $4 billion
higher than the preliminary one published a month ago. Domestic profits
of nonfinancial corporations and the
foreign component of profits were
both revised up $2% billion; domestic
profits of financial corporations were
revised down by $% billion.
Domestic profits of nonfinancial
corporations contributed most of the
first-quarter increase in profits of domestic corporations, accounting for
$12% billion out of the $13 billion increase. The increase in nonfinancial
profits resulted from increases in both
constant-dollar output and in unit
profits. The latter, in turn, was due to
larger increases in unit prices than in
unit costs.
Profits before tax—profits without
inventory valuation adjustment (IVA)
and capital consumption adjustment
(CCAdj)—increased $16 billion in the
first quarter, to $244% billion. This
increase exceeded the increase in
profits from current production by
$2% billion, because the changes in
the two adjustments reduce the latter
by that amount (see accompanying
tabulation). In contrast, in the fourth
quarter, when the sum of the changes
in the two adjustments had been
$20% billion, profits before tax had
declined slightly, while profits from
current production had increased $20
billion.

declines in profits of food stores and

increases in profits of general merchandisers and other retailers. Transportation profits were up, primarily
because airlines continued to cut
their losses.

Table 5.10-5.11:
1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventories
calculated from current-dollar inventories in this table is not the current-dollar change in business inventories (CBI) component of GNP. The former is the difference between two inventory
stocks, each valued at their respective end-of-quarter prices. The latter is the change in the physical volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. In addition, changes calculated
from this table are at quarter rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates. Quarter-to-quarter
changes calculated from the constant-dollar inventories shown in this table are at quarterly
rates, whereas the constant-dollar change in business inventories component of GNP is stated at
annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Business final sales equals final sales less gross product of
households and institutions, government, and rest-of-the-world and includes a small amount of
final sales by farms.

Table 5.8-5.9:
1. The IVA shown in this table differs from that which adjusts business income. The IVA in
this table reflects the mix of methods (first-in-first-out, last-in-first-out, etc.) underlying book
value inventories derived primarily from Census Bureau Statistics. The mix differs from that underlying business income derived primarily from Internal Revenue Service statistics.

NOTE.—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 (1972=100)
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 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 time span reflect only changes in prices.

1. Government receipts that are derived from tax return information are not included as such in this table. They are not
included because the focus of this article is on NIPA estimates for which adjustments for taxpayer misreporting are needed to
bring NIPA estimates up to actual levels. Adjustments for government receipts (or their counterentries) in the NIPA's are hot
needed because such receipts as obtained from their data sources are already at actual levels.
2. As indicated by the $0, tax return information is not used to prepare the estimate for this component even though tax
return information is used for parts of the two components that comprise it. For capital consumption allowances, $130.9 billion is
derived from tax return information. The capital consumption adjustment is derived as the difference between capital
consumption allowances with capital consumption adjustment and capital consumption allowances. The —$12.0 billion derived
from tax return information is the part of that difference associated with the part of capital consumption allowances derived from
tax return information.




June 1984

About one-half of charges against
GNP, three-fifths of personal income,
and 5 percent of GNP are derived
from tax returns. The extent of the
use of tax return information in the
preliminary revised NIPA estimates
for 1977 is shown in table 1.
Tax return tabulations are the best
source available for estimating many
NIPA components. The tax return information is well suited for use in the
NIPA's because:
• The definitions of the items in
the tax returns are close to those
of the related NIPA components;
• The tax return information contains considerable detail on receipts and expenses that have
counterparts in the NIPA's;
• The detail on receipts and expenses is internally consistent;
• The tax return information is
comprehensive in its coverage of
legal forms of organization and of
industries.
Further, the accuracy of the information in the tabulations used for the
NIPA's is judged by BEA to be superior to that of either actual alternatives
or alternatives that might be developed at reasonable cost. Statistical
surveys—the major alternative—are
costly to conduct, a burden on respondents, and subject to several
types of error, including sampling
errors, bias, and nonresponse. In particular, information on the income of
individuals is difficult to collect in
surveys. Many persons misstate
income because of inaccurate recall or
lack of ready access to financial
records. Some who misreport income
on their tax returns will also misreport it in a survey. Others will refuse
to answer questions about income in a
Government survey.
One reason for BEA's judgment
about the accuracy of the tax return
information used in the NIPA's is
that, for all except one component,
BEA uses business tax returns, which,
in general, are subject to substantially less misreporting than are individual tax returns. Wages and salaries,
for example, are estimated from the
employment tax returns filed by business, rather than from the income tax
returns filed by employees. Table 2
lists the NIPA components derived directly and indirectly from tax return
information and the sources of that
information.

June 1984

Improved adjustments
The improved adjustments incorporate newly available information
about the extent of underreporting of
income and about the failure to file
income and employment tax returns.
As shown in table 3, they are considerably larger than the previous adjustments. The adjustment for nonfarm proprietors' income was revised

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

19

from $13 billion to $59 billion, and adjustments of $22 billion for personal
consumption expenditures and $11
billion for wages and salaries were introduced.
The BEA adjustments are designed
for a specific purpose—to correct for
the effects of taxpayer misreporting
in the tax return tabulations and economic census data used in the

NIPA's. The BEA adjustments do not
measure all income on which taxes
are evaded. The major reason is that
not all income types reported on tax
returns are used in estimating the
NIPA's. Neither do the BEA adjustments measure the underground
economy. For example, they do not
cover illegal activities, which are part
of the underground economy but are
excluded from the NIPA's.

assumed that (1) the extent of misreporting in 1977 was the same as in

Nonfarm proprietors' income.—Nonfarm proprietors' income was adjusted
up $14.7 billion for 1977. For each industry, separate adjustments were
calculated for gross receipts and for
total expenses (gross receipts less net
income) by multiplying the TCMP
audit ratios by the totals of receipts
and of expenses for sole proprietorships and partnerships from the 1977

that approximates the concept used4 in
the NIPA's—than for gross profits.
The IRS view about the extent of
underreporting of business receipts
tends to be confirmed by evaluation
studies of the 1977 economic censuses.
For these studies, the Census Bureau
conducted special surveys that collected receipts for samples of small firms
for which tax return information had
been used in the economic censuses.
The receipts as reported in these surveys were compared with receipts as
reported on a firm's tax return. These
comparisons showed that small firms
consistently reported larger receipts
to the Census5 Bureau than they reported to IRS. The underreporting of
receipts to IRS indicated in the surveys was about the same as the total
underreporting indicated by the IRS
research.

Adjustment based on corporate audits
Underreporting on income tax returns
The previous adjustment for misreporting increased the estimate of corporate profits before tax by $12.2 billion for 1977. It is included in line 2 of
NIPA table 8.12, which shows the relationship between the SOI and NIPA
measures of corporate profits. It was
based on IRS information on additional tax assessments for 1977, and was
calculated in two parts: for corporations reporting a profit and for those
reporting a loss.
For corporations reporting a profit,
the adjustment was calculated as follows: (1) The value of the IRS auditor's recommended assessment per
return, classified by corporate asset
size, was reduced by the overall ratio
of actual settlements to recommendations to derive actual settlements. (2)
The estimates of actual settlements
were "blown up" to universe totals by
multiplying them by the number of
corporate tax returns with income, by
size class, as published in SOL (3) The
estimated universe totals of settlements were divided by the applicable
corporate tax rate to obtain the estimate of additional profits.
For corporations reporting a loss,
the adjustment was calculated by
multiplying total losses, as published
in SOI, by an estimate, based on fragmentary information from IRS, of the
percentage by which losses were reduced during audit.

Nefw Information on
Misreporting
Studies at IRS and the Census
Bureau have provided new information about the extent of underreporting on tax returns and of the failure
to file income and employment tax returns. The information about the
extent of underreporting was from
IRS research on the TCMP auditors'
ability to detect unreported income in
1976, and from an IRS examination of
the underreporting of wages and salaries on the employment tax returns
in the 1979 TCMP. Information on
the extent to which businesses and in-




The starting point of the IRS research was the TCMP-Information Returns Program (the TCMP-IRP).3 In
this study, conducted after the 1976
TCMP audits were completed, IRS
used information returns to assess the
auditors' ability to detect unreported
income. Information returns are reports that must be filed with IRS by
payers of certain types of income—for
example, form W-2 for wages and salaries paid by employers and form
1099 for interest paid by banks. For a
sample of tax returns included in the
1976 TCMP, IRS compared the
amount of each type of income reported on these forms with that reported
by the taxpayer and established by
the auditor. The study showed that,
for the income types covered—mainly
wages and salaries, interest, and dividends—the TCMP auditors detected
$1 of every $4 of unreported income.
IRS conducted additional research
on income types not included in the
TCMP-IRP study. For business incomes (mainly rental income and incomes of partnerships, sole proprietorships, and small business corporations), IRS concluded that auditors detected $1 of every $3% of unreported
gross profits—that is, gross receipts
less cost of goods sold. Because IRS
audit studies indicated that businesses that understated receipts also understated cost of goods sold in order to
avoid reporting a suspicious sales/
gross profits relationship, IRS further
concluded that auditors detected similar proportions of both unreported
gross receipts and unreported cost of
goods sold. In contrast, for deductions—that is, expenses other than
cost of goods sold—IRS concluded that
the auditors were able to detect all
overreporting. From these conclusions, it can be inferred that auditors
detected a higher proportion of misreporting for net income—that is, gross
profits less deductions, an aggregate

3. For a synopsis of the TCMP-IRP, see table 2 in
Carson, "Underground Economy."

Underreporting on employment tax returns
In the 1979 TCMP, IRS audited the
reporting of wages and salaries by
sole proprietorships and by small corporations (those with assets of less
than $10 million) on the return used
to report Federal unemployment insurance taxes (form 940). The auditors
detected both underreporting on, and
failure to file, these returns. The information on wages and salaries reported on these returns is essentially
the same as that reported to the State
Employment Security Agencies (and
used by BEA for the NIPA estimates).
Because of administrative links between the Federal and State unemployment insurance programs, it
seems likely that the audit ratio for
the Federal returns in the 1979
TCMP is applicable to the returns
filed with the State agencies. It
should be noted that IRS has not assessed the auditors' ability to detect
misreporting on the employment tax
returns, as it did for income tax returns in the TCMP-IRP study.

IRS are described in U.S. Department of the Treasury,

Nonfiling of tax returns
For incomes earned by persons in
1972 and in 1977, the Census Bureau
evaluated the reporting in the annual
income supplement to the Current
Population Survey (CPS). For each
year, Census prepared "exact-match"
files of CPS records, selected items
from individual income tax returns,
and earnings and benefits from Social
Security
Administration
(SSA)
records.6 From these files, tabulations
were prepared of the incomes of "nonfilers," that is, persons who did not
file an income tax return, but who
earned income as evidenced by the information they supplied to the CPS.
(Persons who filed a tax return were
classified as "filers," even if they did
not report to IRS all the income types
that they reported to the CPS.) BEA

Carson, "Underground Economy." For technical descriptions of the 1972 and 1977 studies, respectively,

income.
Another evaluation study of the
1977 economic censuses, which provided an indirect check on the procedures used in the exact match, tended
to confirm the extent of nonfiling of
income tax returns by nonfarm sole
proprietorships and partnerships.7 Information from the study established
that the extent of nonfiling in the
exact-match files was consistent with
the shortfall in the universe established by the Census Bureau on the
basis of tax return information provided by IRS.
Information about the failure of
sole proprietorships and partnerships
to file employment tax returns came
from an examination by BEA of this
evaluation study together with the
exact match. The study identified
firms that failed to file reports in the
economic censuses, that is, firms that
were not in the universe because they
had filed neither income nor employment tax returns. The exact match
identified firms that had not filed

Improved Adjustments
The information described in the
previous section was used to develop
or improve adjustments for five NIPA
components. These adjustments—
which are for wages and salaries, nonfarm proprietors' income, rental
income of persons, personal consumption expenditures, and fixed investment—are shown in table 3 in the
column labeled "improved adjustment."
The adjustments for the noncorporate parts of net interest and capital
consumption allowances and for corporate profits before tax were not revised because no additional information was available. For these adjustments, the improved and previous adjustments shown in table 3 are the
same. For the remaining components
or parts of components derived from
tax return information, either new information indicated that adjustments
were not needed or information was
not available on which to base an adjustment.
The contribution of each type of
new information to the revisions in
the adjustments is shown in table 4.
Under the heading "income tax returns," the column labeled "filer adjustment" shows the revision based on
the information on underreporting
provided by the IRS research that
was related to the 1976 TCMP-IRP
study. The column labeled "nonfiler
adjustment" shows the revision ba.sed
on the information on nonfiling provided by the Census Bureau exactmatch study. Under the heading "employment tax returns," the column labeled "filer adjustment" shows the revision based on the information on
underreporting provided by the 1979
TCMP audit, and the column labeled
"nonfiler adjustment" shows the revision based on the information provided by BEA's examination of the evaluation study and the exact match.
Wages and salaries
The adjustment for misreporting increased wages and salaries $11.3 bil-

June 1984

lion. The filer adjustment contributed
$7.6 billion and the nonfiler adjustment, $3.6 billion.
Filer adjustment.—The filer adjustment was based on the 1979 TCMP
audit of employment tax returns. It
was calculated in two steps and provided separate adjustments for wages
and salaries paid by nonfarm sole proprietorships and partnerships and by
corporations. The first step consisted
of applying an audit ratio to BEA's
estimates of wages and salaries.8 For
sole proprietorships and partnerships,
the ratio was from the TCMP for sole
proprietorships. For corporations,
BEA derived an audit ratio, because
the TCMP audit ratio covered only
small corporations. The ratio was
based on the assumption that large
corporations fully report wages and
salaries on employment tax returns.
It was calculated by dividing the
amount of wages and salaries that the
TCMP auditors determined was underreported by small corporations by
the BEA estimate of wages and salaries for all nonfarm corporations. It
was assumed in the derivation that (1)
the audit ratios for 1979 apply to
1977, and (2) the audit ratio for nonfarm sole proprietorships applies to
partnerships.
In the second step, BEA made an
allowance for the likelihood that the
TCMP auditors did not detect all underreporting. It was apparent that the
allowance should be at least as much
as that found for underreported
income in the TCMP-IRP study ($1
detected of every $3% of unreported
income) and that the allowance
should compensate for the TCMP
auditors' lack of experience with emplqyment tax returns. Therefore, an
allowance of $1 of every $5 was applied to sole proprietorships and partnerships and to small corporations.
Nonfiler adjustment.—The nonfiler
adjustment was based on BEA's finding that the sole proprietorships and
partnerships (with employees) who
did not file an income tax return also
did not file an employment tax
return. It was calculated indirectly
because information on wages paid by
nonfilers was not available in the
exact match. Starting with the net
income of nonfilers in the exact

8. Wages and salaries by legal form of organization
are published in NIPA table 1.12 in the July SURVEY.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
match, BEA first estimated receipts.
The estimate was made by multiplying the net income of nonfilers in
each industry by the ratio of receipts
to net income for sole proprietorships
and partnerships with income from
the 1977 SO/.9 The estimate of wages
and salaries of nonfilers was then
made by multiplying the estimated
receipts by the ratio of payroll to receipts for small firms. For industries
included in the 1977 economic censuses, the ratio was calculated using
information on small firms. For other
industries, it was calculated using
census SOI information for small sole
proprietorships and partnerships.
This adjustment is limited to sole
proprietorships and partnerships that
did not file an income tax return. An
adjustment for sole proprietorships
and partnerships and small corporations that filed an income tax return,
but not an employment tax return, is
included in the filer adjustment.

Filer adjustment.—The filer adjustments to royalties and to rental
income from nonfarm nonresidential
properties were revised to reflect the
IRS conclusion that the TCMP auditors detected $1 of every $3 Vz of unreported income. The improvements,
which each amounted to $0.7 billion,
were offsetting. For royalties, the revision was calculated by multiplying
the previous adjustment, which represented the amount detected by auditors, by 2%. For rental income from
nonfarm nonresidential properties,
which—as noted earlier—is obtained
mainly by subtracting rents received
by business from rents paid by business, the revision was calculated by
multiplying the previous adjustment
for rents received by 2l/2. The adjustment for rents paid was not revised
because IRS concluded that the
TCMP auditors detected all overreporting of deductions.
Nonfiler adjustment.—No improvement was possible because of lack of
information.

which is purchased by persons. The
effects of misreporting on sales and
on PCE differ; the effect on PCE is
much smaller than the effect on sales
for two reasons. First, misreporting of
sales by trade firms, which is large,
does not directly affect industry
output. Second, only part of the misreported sales was purchased by persons.
The adjustment to PCE was derived
by BEA in three steps. (1) Adjustments were estimated for the Census
Bureau's sales figures using information from the IRS studies and the
exact match. (2) These adjustments
were used to estimate adjustments to
output by industry in the I-O tables.
(3) From the adjustments for industry
output, adjustments for PCE were obtained.
Adjustments to sales.—The adjustments to sales are shown by industry
in table 5. The adjustments for underreporting by small firms, shown in
the table as the "filer adjustment,"
were derived using information from
the IRS studies. For each industry,
the adjustment was calculated by (1)
multiplying sales of small firms, both
corporate and noncorporate, that the
Census Bureau derived from tax
return information by the 1976 TCMP
audit ratio for nonfarm sole proprietorships, and (2) multiplying that
result by 3l/z to allow for the failure
of the TCMP auditors to detect all underreporting. For retail trade and
services, in which small proprietorships are more than proportionally
represented, the audit ratio was increased, because the TCMP indicated
that small proprietorships understate




receipts to a larger degree than other
proprietorships.
The adjustments for the failure of
businesses to file tax returns, shown
in the table as the "nonfiler adjustment," were derived from the exact
match. For each industry, the sales of
nonfilers were estimated by multiplying the net income of nonfilers in the
exact match by the ratio of receipts to
net income for sole proprietorships
and partnerships with income from
the 1977 SO/.11
Both adjustments were prepared at
a broad industry level and then were
disaggregated to the more detailed industry level of the I-O tables using
information from the economic censuses.
Adjustments to industry output.—In
general, for industries in the I-O
tables, output consists of sales plus
change in inventory, and the adjustment to output is the same as that for
sales. For trade, output is defined as
the margin on sales, that is, sales less
cost of goods sold. The adjustment for
the output of trade was obtained by
multiplying the adjustment for sales
by the margin rate.
Adjustments to PCE.—The adjustments to PCE depended on how much
of the adjustments to industry output
were purchased by persons. They
were calculated for each industry by
multiplying the industry output adjustment by the ratio of the PCE portion of the industry's output to the industry's total output.

11. See footnote 9.

This section discusses possible
errors in the improved adjustments
for 1977 and the problems involved in
extending them to earlier and later
periods for incorporation in the
NIPA's in the comprehensive revision
scheduled for the end of 1985.
Because the adjustments are based
on information that is incomplete
and, in some cases, of questionable
quality, they are subject to substantial error. In the aggregate, however,
it appears that the adjustments to
GNP, charges against GNP, and personal income are as likely to be overstated as understated.
Omitted adjustments
One kind of error stems from the
omission of adjustments for which information is not available. Filer adjustments were not made for the
NIPA components that are derived
from detailed income and expense
items reported on corporate tax returns. Such adjustments would probably reduce charges against GNP, and
personal income, because, in most
cases, the items that have not been
adjusted are deductions that IRS studies show tend to be overreported.
Nonfiler adjustments were not made
for corporations. Such adjustments
would probably slightly increase GNP
and charges against GNP.
For noncorporate nonfilers, adjustments were made only to wages and
salaries, nonfarm proprietors' income,
PCE, and fixed investment. Adjust-

return information.

ments to noncorporate parts of other
components of charges against GNP
and personal income, if they could be
made, would probably be small and
net close to zero.
On balance, the adjustments to
charges against GNP and personal
income are probably overstated, because the omitted corporate filer adjustments outweigh the omitted nonfiler adjustments. The adjustment to
GNP is understated to the extent that
corporations do not file tax returns.
Filer adjustments

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Second, these adjustments assume, as
may not be the case, that the extent
of unreported income not detected by
auditors is the same across industries.
This assumption was necessary because there is no industry information. The assumption may lead to
error in the adjustments because the
proportion of sales to persons and
business on capital account varies
across industries. The size and direction of the error is unknown.
Given what is known about the
errors described above, the adjustments to the NIPA aggregates are as
likely to be overstated as understated.

errors within nonfarm activity are reflected in additional errors in the adjustments to PCE and fixed investment. The size and direction of such
errors are unknown.
As was the case with the filer adjustments, the nonfiler adjustments to
the NIPA aggregates are as likely to
be overstated as understated.
Time series estimates
Less information will be available
for extending the adjustments to
years before and after 1977 than was
available for the 1977 adjustments. It
is anticipated that an exact-match
study for 1982 will provide information on nonfiling and that TCMP's
and corporate audits will provide information on underreporting. However, the TCMP-IRP results led IRS to
change its procedures for noncorporate audits after 1976, and it appears
that since then the TCMP auditors
have been detecting more unreported
income than previously. Thus, it will
be necessary for BEA to adapt its
methodology to use the more recent
TCMP's. To the extent that more upto-date information is not available,
post-1977 adjustments will be extrapolations that hold the proportions of
underreported income constant. The
adequacy of this procedure depends
on the extent to which misreporting
is stable. It may be that the types of
misreporting for which the NIPA's
should be corrected are more stable
than some other types; that is, misreporting may be more stable on business tax returns than on individual
tax returns.
The adjustments for years before
1977 will need to reflect the less widespread use of tax return information
in earlier years. Before 1959, tax
return information was not used to
estimate major parts of nonfarm proprietors' income. Also, before 1963, it
was not as widely used in the economic censuses.

Plant and Equipment Expenditures,
the Four Quarters of 1984
Bi

BUSINESS plans to spend $309.0
billion for new plant and equipment
in 1984, 14.8 percent more than in
1983, according to the BEA quarterly
survey conducted in late April and
May (tables 1 and 2, and chart 2).1
1. The series consists of business expenditures for
new plant and equipment (P&E)—both for replacement and expansion—by U.S. companies for their domestic operations, including most costs that are
chargeable to fixed asset accounts and for which depreciation or amortization accounts are ordinarily
maintained. The series excludes expenditures for land
and mineral rights; maintenance and repair; used
plant and equipment, including that purchased or acquired through mergers or acquisitions; assets located
in foreign countries; residential structures; and a few
other items.
The coverage of the series and the pattern of estimates differ from those of the nonresidential fixed investment (NRFI) component of GNP. The major differences in coverage are the inclusion in the GNP component of investment by the farm sector, real estate,
professional and medical services, and certain other
nonmanufacturing industries; certain outlays charged
as current expenses by business; reimbursable expenditures for new motor vehicles purchased by employees
for business use; and certain transactions in used
plant and equipment. The pattern of estimates may
differ due to timing; the NRFI series reflects construction put in place and shipments of equipment, whereas the P&E series reflects expenditures.

Spending was $269.2 billion in 1983,
4.8 percent less than in 1982.
The latest estimate of planned
spending for 1984 is $2.2 billion
higher than the comparable estimate
based on the survey conducted in late
January and February and released
in March. That survey showed
planned spending of $306.8 billion for
1984, 14.0 percent more than 1983
spending.2
2. Spending plans have been adjusted for systematic
reporting biases. The adjustments were made for each
industry for each quarter of the year by taking the
median deviation between planned and actual spending for that quarter in the preceding 8 years. Before
adjustment, planned spending for 1984 was $306.29
billion for "all industries," $132.90 billion for manufacturing, and $173.39 billion for nonmanufacturing.
The net effect of the adjustments was to lower manufacturing $4.14 billion and to raise nonmanufacturing
$6.83 billion.

Real spending is estimated to be
$146.0 billion in 1984, 14.8 percent
more than in 1983; real spending declined 3.9 percent in 1983 (tables 3
and 4). Estimates of real spending are
computed from the survey data on
current-dollar spending plans and
from estimated changes in capital
goods price deflators prepared by
BEA.3 The latest deflators developed
by BEA indicate that capital goods
prices declined 0.9 percent in 1983
3. Specifically, the current-dollar figures reported by
survey respondents are adjusted using implicit price
deflators for each industry group prepared by BEA
based on unpublished data in the national income and
product accounts. To estimate planned real spending,
the implicit price deflators for each industry are extrapolated using the average rate of change during
the latest four quarters for which they are available.

Changes in the BEA Plant and
Equipment Survey
The estimates in this article reflect reduced industry coverage in the Plant and
Equipment Survey. Beginning with the
April-May survey, estimates—except
annual estimates from the January-February survey published each March—will
no longer include the following nonmanufacturing industries: forestry, fisheries,
and agricultural services; medical services; professional services; social services
and membership organizations; and real
estate. These industries account for approximately 10 percent of total nonfarm
plant and equipment expenditures. In addition, separate estimates of plant and of
equipment expenditures are no longer
published each quarter; annual estimates
will be published each March. Also, information is no longer published on capacity utilization or on starts and carryover. (For further information, see page
29 of the January 1984 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.)

and will remain unchanged in 1984.
The deflators prepared in March, adjusted to the reduced industry coverage, indicated that capital goods
prices would increase 1.2 percent in
1984. The latest projection of 1984
capital goods prices incorporates revised estimates of price levels in the
fourth quarter of 1983, the decline in
capital goods prices in the first quarter of 1984, and a shift to purchases of
capital goods with relatively lower
prices. (If the previous estimates of
capital goods prices were used to
adjust the latest survey results, a
13.4-percent increase in real spending
would be indicated for 1984.)
Current-dollar spending in the first
quarter of 1984 increased 3.2 percent
to an annual rate of $293.1 billion, fol-

lowing a 5.2-percent increase in the 1984 would result in spending at or

in the first quarter of 1981. Nonmanufacturing industries plan spending
in the fourth quarter at an annual
rate of $91.2 billion, 11.0 percent
above the prerecession peak of $82.2
billion in the third quarter of 1981.
The 1984 planned increases in capital spending are consistent with firstquarter increases in other indicators
of future investment activity, including capacity utilization, corporate
profits and cash flow, net new capital
appropriations, and new orders for
nondefense capital goods. An important factor in determining the extent
to which the spending plans will be
realized will be the future path of interest rates, which have increased
during recent months.

In manufacturing, current-dollar
spending increased 5.5 percent in the
first quarter of 1984, to an annual
rate of $122.8 billion, following a 4.7percent increase in the fourth quarter
of 1983. Durable goods industries increased 7.5 percent in the first quarter and nondurables, 3.8 percent.
Manufacturers plan a 2.6-percent increase in the second quarter of 1984, a
3.5-percent increase in the third, and
a 4.2-percent increase in the fourth.
For the year 1984, manufacturers
plan to spend $128.8 billion, 15.5 percent more than in 1983; in March, a
planned increase of 16.3 percent was

reported. Manufacturers' spending declined 6.8 percent in 1983 and 5.6 percent in 1982.
Durable goods industries plan an
18.6-percent increase in 1984. The
largest increases are planned in
motor vehicles, 38.9 percent, and in
electrical machinery, 23.5 percent.
The planned increase in motor vehicles reflects record 1983 profits and a
continuing modernization of production facilities. The planned increase
in electrical machinery reflects
strength in anticipated sales as well
as constraints on current capacity;
the Federal Reserve Board estimated
that the industry was operating at
91.2 percent of capacity in the first
quarter of 1984. Spending by both industries is characteristic of a factor
common to all manufacturing industries—the need to catch up on capital
spending deferred during the recession.
Nondurable goods industries plan a
12.7-percent increase in 1984. The in-

creases planned in textiles (24.4 percent), "other nondurables" (17.6 percent), rubber (17.5 percent), and paper
(16.0 percent) are large. The increase
in the total is moderated by smaller
increases in petroleum (10.4 percent),
which accounts for over one-third of
total spending by nondurable goods
industries, and food-beverage (7.5 percent). The recovery in capital spending by the petroleum industry has
lagged behind other manufacturing
industries as a result of rates of capacity utilization and profits that
have been low by that industry's
standards; food-beverage has also experienced lower than normal profits
and expects relatively modest increases in 1984 sales.
Real spending by manufacturers is
estimated to increase 13.8 percent in
1984—15.5 percent in durables and
12.1 percent in nondurables. Spending
increased 5.1 percent in the first
quarter of 1984, to an annual rate of
$56.8 billion—12.6 percent above the
recession trough of $50.4 billion in the
fourth quarter of 1982, but 7.3 percent
below the prerecession peak of $61.2
billion in the first quarter of 1981
(table 5). Manufacturers plan a 1.6percent increase in the second quarter of 1984, a 3.7-percent increase in
the third, and a 3.8-percent increase
in the fourth.
Durable goods industries increased
real spending by 6.2 percent in the
first quarter of 1984, to a level 18.2
percent above the recession trough,
but 8.0 percent below the prerecession
peak. Nondurable goods industries increased real spending 4.0 percent in
the first quarter, to a level 10.0 percent above the recession trough, but
6.8 percent below the prerecession
peak.

1983; in March, a planned increase of
12.3 percent was reported. Nonmanufacturing industries' spending declined 3.3 percent in 1983 after a
slight increase of 0.3 percent in 1982.
In 1984, the largest increases are
planned in gas utilities, 34.2 percent;
'other transportation," 25.5 percent;
and railroads, 25.0 percent. Mining
and "commercial and other" plan increases of 18.1 percent and 17.9 percent, respectively. Air transportation




plans a decline of 29.2 percent. The
planned increases in several of these
industries—mining, gas utilities, and
railroads, in particular—should be
viewed against the recent declines in
their capital spending during the recession.
Real spending by nonmanufacturing industries is estimated to increase
15.4 percent in 1984. Spending increased 2.6 percent in the first quarter of 1984, to an annual rate of $81.8
billion—12.9 percent above the recession trough of $72.4 billion in the first
quarter of 1983, but slightly below the
prerecession peak of $82.2 billion in
the third quarter of 1981. Nonmanu-

facturing industries plan a 5.0-percent
increase in the second quarter of
1984, a 3.5-percent increase in the
third, and a 2.6-percent increase in
the fourth.
In nonmanufacturing, first-quarter
real spending by several industries—
mining, wholesale and retail trade,
and finance and insurance—was approximately 30 percent above their
respective recession troughs. However, in mining, spending was still 20
percent below its prerecession peak.
Spending by the transportation and
by the communication industries was
only slightly above their recession
troughs, and well below their prerecession peaks.

Plant and Equipment Expenditures by Business for
Pollution Abatement, 1983 and Planned 1984
U.S. NONFARM business spent $7.2
billion in 1983 for new plant and
equipment to abate air and water pollution and to dispose of solid waste,
14.7 percent less than in 1982 (table
I).1 These estimates are based on a
survey conducted in November and
NOTE.—Tracy K. Leigh and Thomas J. Zoretich assisted in the preparation of the estimates for this article.
1. Pollution abatement (PA) is the reduction or
elimination of emissions of pollutants that is brought
about by human activity directed to that purpose. Disposal of solid waste refers to the collection and dispos-

For a description of survey methodology, see Technical
Note 1 in Gary L. Rutledge and Betsy D. O'Connor,
"Plant and Equipment Expenditures by Business for
Pollution Abatement, 1973-80, and Planned 1981,"
SURVEY 61 (June 1981): 19-25, 30, and 72. Briefly, BEA
plant and equipment survey quarterly data and additional data from an annual survey, which included
pollution abatement questions, were used. Annual estimates of plant and equipment spending are the sum
of quarterly estimates. Sample ratios of pollution
abatement to total plant and equipment spending
from the annual survey are multiplied by universe estimates of plant and equipment spending to obtain
universe estimates for pollution abatement.
Expenditures by business for emission abatement
devices on cars and trucks were $3.1 billion in 1983.
For earlier estimates of these expenditures, see Kit D.
Farber, Frederick J. Dreiling, and Gary L. Rutledge,
"Pollution Abatement and Control Expenditures,
1972-82," SURVEY 64 (February 1984): 22-30.

al of solid waste by means acceptable to Federal,
State, and local authorites. Part of expenditures for
disposal of solid waste is not for PA, but presenting
only the PA portion is not feasible at the level of
detail in this article. For further discussion of pollution abatement and solid waste disposal, see John E.
Cremeans, "Conceptual and Statistical Issues in Developing Environmental Measures—Recent U.S. Experience," Reviews of Income and Wealth, ser. 23 (June
1977): 97-115, and Gary L. Rutledge and Susan L. Trevathan; "Pollution Abatement and Control Expenditures, 1972-79," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 61
(March 1981): 19-27.
The survey results are universe estimates for U.S.
nonfarm business of PA plant and equipment expenditures, excluding expenditures for emission abatement
devices on cars and trucks. The estimates are based on
sample data from companies, each of which is assigned to a single industry corresponding to the industry classification of the company's principal product.

Prices, as measured by the implicit
price deflator for PA plant and equipment, increased 2.2 percent in 1983,
compared with a revised increase of
5.7 percent in 1982 (table 3).2 The
1983 price increase was the smallest
since 1965.3 It appears, based on information available in May, that
prices are likely to increase between 2
and 5 percent in 1984.

Preliminary.

December 1983 by BEA. Plans indicate that spending will increase 5.5
percent, to $7.6 billion, in 1984.
The share of total new plant and
equipment expenditures accounted for
by pollution abatement decreased




from 2.7 percent in 1982 to 2.4 percent in 1983. Business plans indicate
a decrease to 2.2 percent in 1984. The
trend in the share has been downward since 1975, when the share
reached 4.4 percent (chart 4).

2. Price indexes generally applicable to PA plant
and equipment are used to derive implicit price deflators. The implicit price deflator for 1983 is based on
preliminary estimates for these indexes. Year-to-year
changes in the PA implicit prices deflators reflect
changes in prices and in the composition of pollution

little effect.
3. Estimates of price change before 1973, the first
year that PA plant and equipment spending was surveyed by BEA, are mainly based on research for the
article by Frederick G. Kappler and Gary L. Rutledge,
"Stock of Plant and Equipment for Air and Water Pollution Abatement in the United States, 1960-81"
SURVEY 62 (November 1982): 18-25.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1984

The Pollution Abatement Share of New Plant and Equipment Expenditures
From a peak in 1975, the share of new plant and equipment:
spending that is for pollution abatement has declined significantly
each year except 1980. Changes in this share are often used as an
indicator of changes in the investment burden of pollution abatement. Thus, it is useful to evaluate the several possible explanations for the decline.
The changes in the pollution abatement share appear mainly to
be due to changes in what may be termed "environmental regulatory conditions." These conditions consist of environmental activity—as reflected by administrative actions, court cases, and debate
about proposed changes in legislation—as well as accomplishments
in the design and implementation of environmental programs.
In the early 1970's, environmental regulatory programs in the
United States were in a "build-up" phase. By the late 1970's, these
programs had become quite complicated. Further, difficulties of
achieving pollution abatement targets, whether set by law or administrative or court action, had emerged. After 1975, recognition
of the increasing complexity of all programs and gradual redirection of programs toward regulation of toxic substances led to the
stretching out of timetables for meeting some targets. The increase
in the pollution abatement share of plant and equipment spending
through 1975 and the decline through 1979 are consistent with
this general picture.
In the 1980's, the Federal administrative process was oriented
toward "regulatory reform"—a reduced, less directive Federal role.
When the results of regulatory reform—either action or inactionwere considered detrimental, concerned groups initiated court
cases. Further, reauthorization of environmental legislation stalled
in Congress. Some proposals before Congress would have relaxed

pollution abatement targets, others would have tightened them,
but the major proposals shared a recognition of the need to stretch
out further the timetables for meeting the targets. In the meantime, strict enforcement of pollution abatement deadlines was
often deferred. Thus, the further decline of the share of plant and
equipment spending through 1983 is not surprising.
Progress made in implementing pollution abatement programs
reduces the need for additional action. One indicator of progress is
the size of the pollution abatement capital stock. Reflecting the
rapid growth in this stock in the 1970's, its size was substantial by
1980. Growth slowed in 1981 and 1982.
General business conditions appear to affect the numerator and
denominator of the share of plant and equipment spending that is
for pollution abatement nearly proportionately. For example, increases in real sales and cash flow and declines in interest rates
affect the ability of an industry to invest in both pollution abatement and other facilities. Thus, the decline in the share does not
appear to be directly related to changes in general business conditions. Other possible explanations for the decline in the share can
probably be ruled out. For example, if industries with few pollution problems grow substantially relative to industries with significant problems, the share of plant and equipment spending for pollution abatement by all industries might decline. So far, however,
differences in growth across industries have had little effect on the
share. Also, if technology changes, the share might change. For example, if pollution abatement becomes more efficient (as might
occur with a large shift to changes-in-production-process methods),
the share might decline. Changes in technology large enough to
affect the share have not yet been observed.

Air, Water, and Solid Waste Pollution Abatement as a Percent
of Total New Plant and Equipment Expenditures

After adjustment for price change,
PA plant and equipment spending decreased 16.6 percent in 1983 to $3.1
billion. Decreases for air, water, and
solid waste were 23.0 percent, 6.0 percent, and 20.6 percent, respectively. If
plans are realized in 1984, real spending will range between $3.1 and $3.2
billion. This will result in the first increase in real spending since 1979.

Spending patterns
Spending for air and water PA
plant and equipment has accounted
for approximately 90 percent of total
PA plant and equipment spending
since 1973, the first year covered by
the survey. Such spending is for one
of two general methods. End-of-line
methods involve the separation, treatment, or reuse of pollutants after
they are generated but before they
are emitted. Spending for end-of-line
methods has accounted for a fairly
constant share—about 80 percent—of
air and water spending. Companies
reported spending $5.2 billion in 1983
for end-of-line methods and plan to
spend the same amount in 1984 (table
2).

methods are preventive in that they
reduce the generation of pollutants
during the production activity. Such
methods generally have production
and PA features, but survey respondents are asked to report only the part
of spending that is for pollution
abatement. Technologies for both
methods change over time depending
upon resources devoted
to research
and development.4
In 1983, business spending decreased 22.0 percent (to $3.7 billion),
2.7 percent (to $2.9 billion), and 17.1
percent (to $0.7 billion) for air, water,
and solid waste, respectively. Plans
indicate business spending in 1984 for
air and solid waste will increase 3.6
percent (to $3.8 billion) and 47.1 percent (to $1.0 billion), respectively,
while spending for water will remain
about the same.
Industry detail—The 1983 decrease
in PA plant and equipment spending
was widespread, affecting all major
industry categories (table 4). The decrease was 15.0 percent in manufacturing and 14.3 percent in nonmanufacturing. The 1983 decrease was
mainly due to environmental regulatory conditions facing business. These
conditions are highlighted in the accompanying box, which discusses the
decline in the share of new plant and
equipment that is for pollution abatement.

4. See the February 1984 SURVEY article referred to
in footnote 1 for information on research and development expenditures.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1984

The 1984 planned increase in PA
plant and equipment spending is also
widespread, except for a planned decrease by electric utilities. The
planned increase is 7.5 percent in
manufacturing and 3.1 percent in
nonmanufacturing.
Environmental
regulatory conditions in 1984 show
little change from 1983 and thus can
not contribute significantly to the
planned increase. The 1984 planned
increase appears to be mainly due to
improvement in general business conditions affecting investment (see the
article reporting the results of BEA's
plant and equipment expenditures
survey elsewhere in this SURVEY).
This improvement increases firms'
ability to finance facility purchases,
including those for pollution abatement, and if production capacity is expanded, pollution abatement capacity
often must also be expanded.
In 1983, the largest absolute decreases in spending for PA plant and
equipment were by blast furnaces and
steel works ($0.22 billion), electric
utilities ($0.20 billion), and nonferrous
metals ($0.17 billion). In percentage
terms, the decreases in blast furnaces
and nonferrous metals were each over
50 percent; the decrease in electric
utilities was 7 percent.
The largest absolute increases in
spending for PA plant and equipment
planned for 1984 are by paper ($0.14
billion), "gas and other" public utilities ($0.14 billion), and blast furnaces
and steel works ($0.10 billion). In percentage terms, each of these planned
increases is large.
Six industries have, over the years,
accounted for most—70 percent or
more—of PA plant and equipment
spending: electric utilities, petroleum,
chemicals, blast furnaces, paper, and
nonferrous metals (chart 5). Through
1983, the share of spending by electric
utilites tended to rise. Trends for
other industries shares are less clear;
the shares of others, except for petroleum, tended to decrease slightly
through 1983.

current-account deficit increased to a record $19.4 billion in the
first quarter from $17.2 billion (revised) in the fourth, as an increase in
the merchandise trade deficit was
partly offset by increased net service
receipts and lower net unilateral
transfers. The merchandise trade deficit increased $6.2 billion to $25.6 billion due to a large increase in nonpetroleum imports, reflecting the rapid
growth of the U.S. economy and
strength of the dollar. Exports increased moderately. Net service receipts increased $3.1 billion to $8.4
billion. Receipts of income on U.S.
direct investment abroad increased
$3.0 billion to $8.0 billion; receipts
were bolstered by a shift from capital
losses to capital gains and moderate
recovery in business activity abroad.
Payments of income on foreign direct
investment in the United States increased slightly to $2.2 billion. Net
unilateral transfers decreased $0.9 billion to $2.2 billion. (Revised estimates

withdraw from OPEC and lower petroleum prices.
Subsequently, the dollar, through
the end of February, depreciated
sharply against European currencies,
as recovery in a few major trading
partners strengthened moderately
and as concerns mounted over the
sizes of the U.S. Federal budget and
current-account deficits and a pickup
in U.S. inflation. In contrast to recent
quarters, the depreciation occurred
despite increases in U.S. interest
rates relative to stable or declining
foreign rates. This pattern suggests
that both the decline in the dollar
and the higher interest rates might
have reflected, at least temporarily,
renewed concern about inflation. In
March, the dollar recovered part of its
loss as U.S. short-term interest rates
rose 55-80 basis points.
The dollar depreciated 1 percent on
average against the Japanese yen in
the first quarter. In late February,
the yen appreciated upon introduc-

the larger deficit. Petroleum imports
decreased slightly. Both agricultural
and nonagricultural exports increased
moderately.
Imports continued their strong increase, up $8.6 billion, or 12 percent,
to $79.8 billion. Since the end of the
recession in the fourth quarter of
1982, the increase in imports has
acounted for nearly one-quarter of the
increase in total U.S. purchases of
goods (see accompanying tabulation).

tion of a series of bills in the Japanese parliament designed to increase
the international demand for the yen.
The rise in U.S. interest rates relative to higher Canadian rates and uncertainties over future Canadian elections led to a 1-percent appreciation
against the Canadian dollar. The U.S.
dollar appreciated 5 percent against
the Mexican peso. Beginning in the
fourth quarter, Mexican authorities
began daily controlled devaluations of
the peso in order to partly offset domestic inflation.

As shown in chart 7, the high marginal rate of importation has increased the average percentage of imported goods in total domestic goods
purchases to record levels during the
last two quarters.
Nonpetroleum imports increased
$9.0 billion, or 16 percent, to $66.0 billion; volume increased 17 percent.
Capital goods increased $2.9 billion,
and showed increases in all major categories, especially in business machines and computers, which increased $0.8 billion, or 32 percent, for
the quarter, and 87 percent over the
past year, and in electrical machinery, up $0.7 billion, or 19 percent, for
the quarter. Consumer goods increased $2.2 billion, about equally divided between durable and nondurable goods. There were strong increases in gem diamonds to rebuild
stocks after strong fourth-quarter
sales, and in apparel. Numismatic
coins decreased $0.4 billion, after a
bunching of deliveries from South
Africa in the fourth quarter. Industrial supplies and materials increased
$1.9 billion, led by a turn-around in
precious metals and by increases in
iron and steel. Brazil imposed a 27percent export tax on selected steel
products shipped to the United States
to preempt possible imposition of a
U.S. import tax. The action followed a
ruling in February by the U.S. Department of Commerce that subsidies
on Brazilian shipments were harmful
to the U.S. steel industry. Automotive
imports increased $1.1 billion, mostly
from Canada. Foods, feeds, and beverages increased $0.6 billion.
Petroleum imports decreased $0.4
billion or 3 percent, to $13.9 billion.
The average price per barrel decreased to $28.05, from $28.30, as
worldwide supplies remained plentiful. Volume decreased to 5.40 million
barrels per day, from 5,53 million,
due to a decrease in consumption; inventories rose slightly. Imports from
OPEC members decreased $1.0 billion
and those from Western Europe increased $0.6 billion.
Exports increased $2.3 billion, or 5
percent. Volume increased 4 percent.
At $54.2 billion, exports were 12 percent above the low in the fourth quarter of 1982 and have made up about
one-half the drop that occurred in
1981 and 1982. However, the pickup
has been selective; agricultural exports and automotive exports to

Canada have accounted for more than
two-thirds of the increase. Export expansion has been slower than the
rapid growth in domestic output of
goods, substantially reducing the percentage of total goods output exported
(chart 7).
Agricultural exports increased $0.5
billion, or 5 percent, to $10.3 billion;
volume increased 4 percent. Prices of
cotton and corn increased 3 percent
and 1 percent, respectively; prices of
soybeans and wheat declined 4 percent and 2 percent. Oils and sunflower seeds increased to $0.7 billion from
$0.2 billion, due to large PL-480 shipments of sunflower seeds to Mexico as
a substitute for soybeans, which were
in short supply because of last year's
drought.
Nonagricultural exports increased
$1.9 billion, or 4 percent, to $43.9 billion. Volume increased 3 percent.
Automotive exports increased $0.6 billion, as strong sales of U.S. model
cars assembled in Canada led to a
$0.2 billion increase in exports of
parts and as exports of completed
cars, trucks, and buses continued to
increase strongly. Capital equipment
increased $0.6 billion, led by a $0.2

billion increase in computers and
parts and a $0.3 billion increase in
electrical equipment; completed aircraft decreased $0.3 billion. Exports of
industrial supplies and materials and
of consumer goods remained at the
low levels that have prevailed since
1982, reflecting limited growth in
demand abroad and the strength of
the dollar.

Service transactions
Net service receipts increased $3.1
billion to $8.4 billion. Receipts increased $3.4 billion to $36.5 billion,
largely due to higher direct investment income receipts. Payments increased $0.3 billion to $28.1 billion.
Receipts of income on U.S. direct
investment abroad increased $3.0 billion to $8.0 billion, following a low
fourth quarter. There was a $2.6 billion shift from large capital losses to
small capital gains, primarily from
exchange rate changes. Operating
earnings increased $0.2 billion as
higher manufacturing earnings reflected the moderate recovery in business activity abroad. Earnings were
lower in petroleum and other industries. Earnings increased in developing countries in Asia and Africa and
declined in Europe and Canada. Payments of income on foreign direct investment in the United States were
$2.2 billion, up $0.2 billion, as the
U.S. expansion continued. Income of
petroleum affiliates declined and that
of other industries increased.
Receipts of income on other private
investment increased $0.3 billion to
$13.7 billion, largely reflecting higher
interest rates. U.S. Government
income receipts decreased slightly to
$1.1 billion. Payments of income on




other private investment increased
$0.4 billion to $8.3 billion, mostly due
to the increase in U.S. bank liabilities
in recent quarters. U.S. Government
payments increased slightly to $4.6
billion.
Travel receipts increased $0.2 billion to $3.0 billion. Increased receipts
from overseas, especially the Far
East, were partly offset by a drop in
receipts from Canada and Mexico.
Payments decreased $0.2 billion to
$3.6 billion. Payments overseas and to
Mexico dropped; payments to Canada
increased. Passenger fare receipts increased $0.1 billion to $0.9 billion;
payments were unchanged at $1.4 billion.
Other transportation receipts were
unchanged at $3.3 billion; payments
increased slightly to $3.5 billion. Air
freight payments were up strongly.
Higher ocean freight payments for
tramp and liner charges were offset
by lower tanker charges.
Transfers under U.S. military sales
contracts decreased $0.2 billion to $2.6
billion, the lowest level in 3 years.
Many major weapons delivery programs have recently been completed
and deliveries under new programs,
although scheduled, have not yet
begun. Direct defense expenditures
abroad decreased $0.2 billion to $2.9
billion, primarily from declining petroleum expenditures and reduced
disbursements on an engineering contract in the Middle East.
Other private service receipts and
payments each rose $0.1 billion to
$1.7 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively.
Net unilatreal transfers decreased
$0.9 billion to $2.2 billion, due to
lower U.S. Government grants. Disbursement fell because Israel drew all
grant funds for the current fiscal year
during the fourth quarter.

U.S. assets abroad
U.S. official reserve assets increased
$0.7 billion in the first quarter. Foreign currency holdings increased $0.2
billion, due to limited intervention to
support the German mark in January
and interest earned on mark and yen
holdings. The U.S. reserve position
with the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) and holdings of special
drawing rights (SDR's) each increased
$0.2 billion.
U.S. claims on foreigners reported
by U.S. banks increased $0.3 billion,
compared with an $8.2 billion increase in the fourth quarter. The
slowdown reflected strong growth in
domestic bank lending (up 20 percent), continued sluggishness in international demand for U.S. bank credit,
and hesitancy by many banks to increase their foreign exposure in the
face of financial difficulties in a
number of developing countries. In
addition, some yearend transactions
were reversed in January, and there
was greater use of alternative sources
of financing, especially floating rate
notes and Eurobonds. Large credit
lines were established with U.S. bank
branches and foreign banks abroad
for possible use in corporate takeovers, but relatively small amounts
were actually drawn during the quarter.
Geographically,
reductions
in
claims were widespread. Most of the
interbank reductions were on Caribean banking centers and Japan,
while reductions in other claims were
mostly on countries in Asia and
Europe. Claims increased on Canada,
and on own foreign offices in the
United Kingdom. Claims on Brazil in-

June 1984

creased in March due to U.S. bank
participation in the first tranche of
an IMF-arranged $6.5 billion loan associated with rescheduling of Brazil's
foreign debts.
Net U.S. sales of foreign securities
were $0.2 billion, the first quarter of
net sales in almost a decade. New foreign bond issues in the United States,
at $0.7 billion, were low for the
second consecutive quarter and limited to a few Canadian issues. Concern
about volatility of the dollar and
rising U.S. interest rates led to a shift
from U.S. markets to other international bond markets, where borrowing
was at record levels in the first quarter. Holdings of outstanding bonds declined $0.6 billion, compared with no
net change, due to scheduled redemptions. Net sales of foreign stocks were
$0.4 billion, compared with net purchases of $0.1 billion, as rises in most
foreign stock markets moderated, especially in the last half of the quarter. Rising interest rates may also
have attracted funds away from
equity markets. Net U.S. sales of Canadian stocks increased as the Canadian market declined. Net sales of
Japanese stocks continued for a
second quarter, probably reflecting
some profit taking.
Outflows for U.S. direct investment
abroad were $3.2 billion, compared
with $1.6 billion. Equity capital outflows declined to $0.7 billion, from
$2.5 billion. Outflows to Europe and
Latin America slowed, and no transactions were comparable to the large
fourth-quarter conversion from debt
to equity by an African petroleum affiliate. Net intercompany debt inflows
slowed $0.6 billion to $2.3 billion.
(Fourth-quarter inflows had been increased by the conversion mentioned
above.) A shift to outflows to Canada
was partly offset by a shift to inflows
from Europe. Inflows from Netherlands Antilles finance affiliates
dropped $0.7 billion to a $1.1 billion
increase, the lowest level since the
second quarter of 1981. The decline
reflected increased repayments of previously borrowed funds and some
tendency for those affiliates to transfer funds to other foreign affiliates instead of remitting the proceeds of new
issues to the U.S. parent. Reinvested
earnings increased $2.9 billion to $4.8
billion, as large capital losses in the
fourth quarter shifted to small capital
gains in the first.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Foreign assets in the United States
Foreign official assets in the United
States shifted to a decrease of $2.9 billion from an increase of $6.6 billion.
Assets of industrial countries decreased $0.9 billion, reflecting intervention by foreign authorities to support their currencies against the
dollar in exchange markets in January. Assets of OPEC members decreased $2.5 billion, reflecting continued weakness in petroleum revenues.
Asssets of other countries increased
$0.6 billion; decreases in assets of several Asian countries were more than
offset by increases of several Latin
American countries.
U.S. liabilities to private foreigners
and international financial institutions reported by banks (including
U.S. Treasury securities) increased
$11.3 billion, compared with $24.0 billion. The slowdown was concentrated
in drawings on foreign offices, which
increased $1.4 billion, compared with
$15.5 billion. The decline reflected the
reduced need to draw funds from
abroad and the reversal in January of
some large yearend inflows. Liabilities to unaffiliated banks and other
private foreigners increased $6.9 billion, compared with $8.0 billion. Inflows were at a record rate in March,
as U.S. interest rates rose sharply and
the dollar strengthened. In contrast to
the fourth quarter, when U.S.-owned
banks accounted for most of the increase, foreign-owned banks in the
United States accounted for twothirds of the increase in the first
quarter. Inflows were largely from
the United Kingdom, from Canada,
and from several Caribbean and Latin
American countries.
Net foreign purchases of U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securities increased $0.4 billion to $1.5 billion. Stock purchases increased $0.8
billion to $1.2 billion; European
buyers reversed their last quarter's
selloff, and Canadians more than doubled their purchases to a quarterly
record of $0.7 billion. Much of the increase occurred late in the quarter,
when the U.S. stock market and the
dollar were both rising. Net sales by
British residents continued. Net foreign purchases of bonds, which fell
$0.3 billion to $0.4 billion, were
mostly concentrated in the United
Kingdom and Japan.

Inflows for foreign direct investment in the United States slowed to a
$1.9 billion increase from a $2.3 billion increase. There were widespread
decreases in equity capital inflows,
which were down $0.7 billion to $0.6
billion, especially from the United
Kingdom and Canada. Reinvested
earnings continued to increase, up
$0.3 billion to $1.0 billion. Intercompany debt inflows were virtually unchanged at $0.3 billion; outflows for
manufacturing and petroleum affiliates were more than offset by inflows
for other affilates.

Technical Notes

As is customary each June, estimates of U.S. international transactions are revised to incorporate new
information. Revised annual estimates for 1960-83 and quarterly estimates for 1978-83 are presented in
tables 1 and 2. Revised annual estimates for 1973-83 and quarterly estimates for 1982 and 1983 are presented
in table 3. Revised annual estimates
for 1981-83 and quarterly estimates
for 1982 and 1983 are presented in
tables 4-10. Table lOa presents revised annual estimates for 1981-83.
Seasonal adjustment for selected
current-account items and for changes
in U.S. Government assets, other
than official reserve assets, were recalculated by extending through 1983
the period used to derive seasonal adjustment factors. The new factors
were applied to quarterly data for
1982 and 1983. (For seasonal adjustment and other changes involving
direct investment-related items, see
the section on direct investment estimates which follows.)
The geographic detail shown in section B of table 3 has been expanded
by the addition of 17 lines. Shown for
the first time are the individual European Communities (EC6) countries,
Brazil, Venezuela, members of OPEC
in Asia, China, Hong Kong, Korea,
Singapore, Taiwan, and members of
OPEC in Africa. Annual data for the
new lines are available since 1978;
quarterly data are available since
1982. The expansion of geographic
detail necessitated a change in the
seasonal adjustment procedure for
section B of the table. Under the new

40
procedure, unadjusted data for each
country or area are split into agricultural and nonagricultural exports and
petroleum and nonpetroleum imports.
Each cell is then seasonally adjusted
by the corresponding implicit global
factor derived from estimates in section D. The cells are summed to
derive country and area export and
import totals. Previously, each cell
was seasonally adjusted separately by
its own seasonal factor, and the data
derived were forced to a global control total.
Significant revisions were made in
the 1980-83 estimates for travel and
passenger fare receipts (lines 4 and
5)—mainly from overseas visitors.
Until mid-1979, the U.S. Immigration
and Naturalization Service (INS) tabulated the forms that each nonresident alien must file upon entry into
the United States. These tabulations
were the source of BEA's estimates of
foreign visitors. This year the INS resumed tabulating forms; a tabulation
was made for 1983 and partial tabulations were made for 1981-82. These
tabulations, along with BEA's estimates of foreign visitors in 1979 and
1980, are the basis for the revised
overseas travel and passenger fare receipts for 1980-83. Revisions were
made also in the 1982-83 estimates of
receipts from Mexican visitors to the
border area of the United States.
Prior to 1982, BEA used the Bank of
Mexico's data on sales and purchases
of U.S. dollars through Mexican
border area banks as a basis for estimates of these receipts. However,
during the period of peso depreciation
in 1982 and 1983, when the Mexican
Government set official exchange
rates offered by banks well below
market rates, much of the currency
exchange took place outside the banking system, rendering banking data
inadequate as a basis for estimates. In
response, the Bank of Mexico began
conducting personal expenditure
interviews with Mexicans in the
border area as they returned from the
United States. This expenditure
survey is the basis for the revisions to
1982-83 border area receipts.
U.S. transactions with the International Telecommunications Satellite




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Organization (Intelsat) are now recorded as transactions with a nonU.S. resident to reflect Intelsat's
status as an international organization. Previously, Intelsat—whose
headquarters are located in the
United States—was treated as a U.S.
resident, and its transactions with
other countries were recorded in the
U.S. international transactions accounts. Those transactions have been
removed from the accounts, and
transactions between U.S. residents
and Intelsat are now included. U.S.
transactions with Intelsat consist
mainly of sales of goods and services
(including satellites and launching
services) to Intelsat and returns on
U.S. capital contributions to Intelsat,
which are recorded as U.S. receipts;
charges to the United States for the
use of Intelsat's international communications satellite channels, which are
recorded as U.S. payments; and U.S.
capital contributions to Intelsat,
which are recorded as U.S. capital
outflows (an increase in U.S. assets).
Revisions to published estimates were
made for 1980-83.

Direct investment estimates
Change in treatment of unincorporated affiliates.—Beginning with the
years of the most recent benchmark
surveys (1982 for U.S. direct investment abroad and 1980 for foreign
direct investment in the United
States), the treatment of unincorporated affiliates has been changed to
parallel that of incorporated affiliates. Previously, less detail, by component, for direct investment income
and capital flows was obtained for unincorporated affiliates than for incorporated affiliates; now, similar detail
is obtained for both types of affiliates.
This change is possible because, over
time, the accounting procedures of
unincorporated
businesses
have
become more similar to those of incorporated businesses. Although the
change does not affect the totals for
direct investment income and capital
flows shown in table 1, it does affect
the individual components of these

June 1984

items, as shown in table 5. For years
prior to 1982 for U.S. direct investment abroad and to 1980 for foreign
direct investment in the United
States, estimates on the new basis
cannot be computed, because the necessary detail is not available.
Previously, reinvested and remitted
earnings of unincorporated affiliates
were not reported separately. Instead,
(1) in the income account, total earnings of these affiliates were treated as
if they were remitted and (2), in the
capital account, earnings actually reinvested rather than remitted were
treated as transfers of cash or other
assets from parents to affiliates and
were included, along with other capital flows, in a single summary account in the ' 'equity and intercompany accounts" component of direct
investment capital flows. The term
"reinvested earnings" referred only to
incorporated affiliates. Now, reinvested and remitted earnings of unincorporated affiliates are reported separately. The remitted portion is included, together with dividends of incorporated affiliates, in distributed earnings of all affiliates (line 5 or 41 of
table 5), and, in both the income and
capital accounts; the reinvested portion is included, together with reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates, in reinvested earnings of all affiliates (lines 6 and 12 or 42 and 50).
In addition, capital flows to unincorporated affiliates, which—as noted
earlier—were previously shown together as a single summary account
in equity and intercompany account
flows, have now been split into the
equity, intercompany debt, and reinvested earnings portions. The equity
portion is now included, together with
equity flows to incorporated affiliates,
in equity capital flows to all affiliates
(line 9 or 47 of table 5); the intercompany debt portion is included, together with intercompany debt flows to incorporated affiliates, in intercompany
debt flows to all affiliates (line 13 or
51); and, as noted, the reinvested
earnings portion is included, together
with reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates, in reinvested earnings
of all affiliates (line 12 or 50). For unincorporated affiliates that were

June 1984

unable to separate equity capital from
intercompany debt, the entire amount
was considered equity capital.
Revision of seasonal adjustment
procedures.—-Primarily because of the
change in treatment of unincorporated affiliates and resulting changes in
data presentation, the procedures for
seasonally adjusting income on U.S.
direct investment abroad have been
revised. All items, including income,
for foreign direct investment in the
United States continue not to be seasonally adjusted.
Previously, for U.S. direct investment abroad, total income and "interest dividends, and earnings of unincorporated affiliates'' were each seasonally adjusted, and seasonally adjusted "reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates" were derived as a
residual. The seasonal factors were
calculated and the adjusted estimates
were obtained for petroleum and nonpetroleum affiliates separately.
With the change in treatment of
unincorporated affiliates, the components of direct investment income
have been regrouped. In the past, the
major components were "interest,
dividends, and earnings of unincorporated affiliates" and "reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates"; now,
they are "interest" and "earnings" (of
both incorporated and unincorporated
affiliates). Earnings has, in turn, been
disaggregated into "distributed earnings" and "reinvested earnings" (of
both incorporated and unincorporated
affiliates).
Under the revised procedure, seasonal factors are directly applied to
the various components of income,
rather than to the total, and the various components are then summed. Interest, by itself, has been determined
to have no seasonal pattern and,
therefore, no adjustment is required.
Earnings, calculated before capital
gains (losses), do have a seasonal pattern and are seasonally adjusted; capital gains (losses) are excluded from
earnings in calculating the seasonal
factor because of their sporadic
nature and the current absence of
any discernible seasonal pattern. Although distributed earnings display a




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
seasonal pattern, data on distributed
earnings of unincorporated affiliates
are available only for 2 full years
(1982 and 1983)—not a long enough
period to allow the calculation of seasonal factors using the Census Bureau's X-ll seasonal adjustment program. Thus, only distributed earnings
of incorporated affiliates (dividends)
can be seasonally adjusted using the
X-ll programs; distributed earnings
of unincorporated affiliates are adjusted informally, based on the distribution of data among the quarters of
the 2 years for which complete data
are available. The sum of seasonally
adjusted distributed earnings for both
types of affiliates is then subtracted
from seasonally adjusted total earnings, after unadjusted capital gains
(losses) have been added back in, to
derive seasonally adjusted reinvested
earnings. When data become available for distributed earnings of unincorporated affiliates over a sufficient
time period, total distributed earnings
will be seasonally adjusted using the
X-ll program. As before, the seasonal
factors are calculated and applied separately to the estimates for petroleum
and nonpetroleum affiliates.
Because reinvested earnings are a
component of direct investment capital outflows as well as income, the
revised procedure for deriving seasonally adjusted reinvested earnings also
affects total capital outflows. The
major change is that seasonally adjusted reinvested earnings now include an adjusted estimate for unincorporated as well as for incorporated
affiliates, whereas, in the past, they
consisted only of an adjusted estimate
for the latter. The other two major
components of direct investment capital outlflows—equity capital and intercompany debt—continue to show
no seasonal pattern and require no
adjustment.
Gross recording of interest and of
fees and royalties.—For foreign direct
investment in the United States, separate quarterly estimates of payments
and receipts of interest on intercompany debt and of fees and royalties
(lines 44-45 and 55-56, respectively, of
table 5) are available for 1980 forward. For prior years, only estimates

41

of the net amount of such payments
(receipts) are available because, although payments and receipts were
reported separately, universe estimates were prepared only for the net
amount.
For U.S. direct investment abroad,
separate quarterly estimates of receipts and payments of interest and of
fees and royalties are not yet available for any year. They will be available, starting with the year 1982,
when these series have been revised
to incorporate the results of the 1982
benchmark survey of U.S. direct investment abroad (this revision is
scheduled for 1986); for years prior to
1982, estimates will continue to be
available only on the net basis.
Benchmark revisions of the series on
foreign direct investment in the
United States.—The series on foreign
direct investment in the United
States for 1980 forward have been revised to incorporate the results of
BEA's 1980 benchmark survey. Previous estimates for these years were
based on the results of the 1974
benchmark survey. The revised estimates are preliminary. Final estimates for 1980-82 and revised, but

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Footnotes to U.S. International Transactions Tables l-10a
General notes for all tables: pPreliminary. *Less than $500,000(±). n.a. Not Available.
Table 1:
1. Credits, +: exports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to United States; capital inflows (increase in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in U.S. assets); decrease in U.S. official reserve assets.
Debits, —: imports of goods and services, unilaterial transfers to foreigners; capital outflows
(decrease in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or increase in U.S. assets); increase in U.S. official reserve assets.
2. Excludes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs (see line 14).
3. Excludes exports of goods under U.S. military agency sales contracts identified in Census
export documents, excludes imports of goods under direct defense expenditures identified in
Census import documents, and reflects various other adjustments (for valuation, coverage, and
timing) of Census statistics to balance of payments basis; see table 3.
4. For all areas, amounts outstanding March 31, 1984, were as follows in millions of dollars:
line 34, 34,974; line 35, 11,111; line 36, 5,341; line 37, 11,706; line 38, 6,817.
5. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
6. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible
and nonconvertible bonds and notes.
7. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere, and
of debt securities of U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
8. Includes, primarily, U.S. government liabilities associated with military sales contracts and
other transactions arranged with or through foreign official agencies; see table 4.
9. Consists of investments in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations
and State and local governments.
10. Conceptually, the sum of lines 67 and 62 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the
NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the international transactions accounts for the treatment of
gold, (b) excludes capital gains and losses of foreign affiliates of U.S. parent companies from the
NIPA's measure of income receipts from direct investment abroad, and from the corresponding
income payments, and (c) beginning with 1973-IV, excludes shipments and financing of military
orders placed by Israel under Public Law 93-199 and subsequent similar legislation. Line 65 differs from "net exports of gdods and services" in the NIPA's for the same reasons with the exception of the military financing, which is excluded, and the additional exclusion of U.S. Government interest payments to foreigners. The latter payments, for NIPA's purposes, are excluded
from "net exports of goods and services" but included with transfers in "net foreign investment."
A partial reconciliation table of the international accounts and the NIPA's foreign transactions
account appears in the "Reconciliation and other Special Tables" section in this issue of the
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
11. Includes return import into the United States, at a depreciated value of $21 million in
1972-IV and $22 million in 1973-11, of aircraft originally reported in 1970^111 in line 3 as a longterm lease to Australia.
12. Includes extraordinary U.S. Government transactions with India. See "Special U.S. Government Transactions," June 1974 SURVEY, p. 27.
13. Includes foreign currency denominated notes sold to private residents abroad. See table 9,
line B5, footnote 4.
Table 2:
For footnotes 1-10, see table 1.
11. See footnote 13 to table 1.
Table 3:
1. Exports, Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. U.S. port of exportation, for all
years; imports, Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. foreign port of exportation for
1974-81. For all prior years and beginning in 1982, imports reflect Customs values. (See Technical
Notes, June 1982 SURVEY.) The unadjusted figures for exports and imports shown in lines Al,
A10, Dl, and D60, are as published by the Census Bureau, as are the seasonally adjusted figures
on lines Al and A10; Census data are adjusted to include trade between the U.S. Virgin Islands
and foreign countries. The seasonally adjusted figures in lines Dl and D60 are prepared by BEA
and represent the summation of seasonally adjusted 4-digit end-use categories (see Technical
Notes in the June 1980 SURVEY).
2. Adjustments in lines A5 and A14, B12, B46, and B80 reflect the Census Bureau's reconciliation of discrepancies in the merchandise trade statistics published by the United States and the
counterpart statistics published in Canada. There adjustments also have been distributed to the
effected end-use categories in section C.
3. Exports of military equipment under U.S. military agency sales contracts with foreign governments (line A6), and direct imports by the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard (line
A15), to the extent such trade is identifiable from Customs declarations. These exports are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 3 (transfers under U.S. military agency sales contracts); and the
imports are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 17 (direct defense expenditures).
4. Addition of electrical energy; deduction of exposed motion picture film for rental rather than
sale; deduction of exports to the Panama Canal Zone before October 1, 1979; net charge in stock
of U.S.-owned grains in storage in Canada; net timing adjustments for goods recorded in Census
data in one period but found to have been shipped in another; and coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data.
5. Correction for discrepancy between sum of four quarters, seasonally adjusted, and the unadjusted annual totals, plus the difference between Census pulished seasonally adjusted totals and
the summation of seasonally adjusted 4-digit end-use categories.
6. Addition of understatement of inland freight in f.a.s. values of U.S. merchandise imports
from Canada in 1974-1981; deduction of foreign charges for repair of U.S. vessels abroad, which
are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 20 (other transportation); deduction of imports from
Panama Canal Zone before October 1, 1979; net timing adjustments for goods recorded in Census
data in one period but found to have been shipped in another; and coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data.
7. Annual and unadjusted quarterly data shown in this table correspond to country and area
data in table 10, lines 2 and 16. Trade with international organizations includes purchases of nonmonetary gold from the IMF, transfers of tin to the International Tin Council (ITC), and sales of
satellites to Intelsat. The memorandum items are defined as follows: Industrial countries: Western Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa; Members of OPEC:
Venezuela, Ecuador, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia,
Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, Gabon; Other countries: Eastern Europe, Latin American Republics, other
Western Hemisphere, and other countries in Asia and Africa, less OPEC, and international organizations. Before 1984, complete geographic area detail was not available for some balance of payments adjustments, e.g., timing. Therefore, the new detail shown does not always sum to the
values shown for the traditional area aggregates, e.g., EC(10). For all years, "Asia and "Africa"
exclude certain Pacific Islands and unidentified countries included in "other countries in Asia
and Africa."




8. The statistical identification of automotive products exports to Canada (line D47) is not as
complete and comprehensive as the identification of imports under the U.S.-Canada Automotive
Products Trade Act. However, the underestimation of automotive shipments to Canada due to
unidentified auto parts and unreported exports, amounting to about $1,708 million in 1982, and
$2,484 million in 1983, has been largely corrected in line C24.
9. Includes nuclear fuel materials and fuels.
10. Includes downward revision amounting to $11 million in 1982 QIII imports from Mexico
which is not in published Census statistics.
Table 4:
1. Expenditures to release Israel from its contractual liability to pay for defense articles and
services purchased through military sales contracts—authorized under Public Law 93-199, section
4, and subsequent similar legislation—are included in line A3. Deliveries against these military
sales contracts are included in line CIO; see footnote 2. Of the line A3 items, part of the military
expenditures is applied in lines A38 and A41 to reduce short-term assets previously recorded in
lines A36 and C8; this application of funds is excluded from lines C3 and C4. A second part of line
A3 expenditures finances future deliveries under military sales contracts for Israel and other
countries and is applied directly to lines A37 and C9. A third part of line A3, disbursed directly to
finance purchases by Israel and other countries from commercial suppliers in the United States,
is included in line A32. A fourth part of line A3, representing dollars paid to recipient countries
to finance purchases from countries other than the United States, is included in line A43.
2. Transactions under military sales contracts are those in which the Department of Defense
sells and transfers military goods and services to a foreign purchaser, on a cash or credit basis.
Purchases by foreigners directly from commercial suppliers are not included as transactions
under military sales contracts. The entries for the several categories of transactions related to
military sales contracts in this and other tables are partly estimated from incomplete data.
3. The identification of transactions involving direct dollar outflows from the United States is
made in reports by each operating agency.
4. Line A33 includes foreign currency collected as interest and line A38 includes foreign currency collected as principal, as recorded in lines A13 and A14, respectively.
5. Includes (a) advance payments to the Department of Defense (on military sales contracts)
financed by loans extended to foreigners by U.S. Government agencies and (b) the contraentry for
the part of line CIO which was delivered without prepayment by the foreign purchaser. Also includes expenditutes of appropriations available to release foreign purchasers from liability to
make repayment.
6. Includes purchases of loans from U.S. banks and exporters and payments by the U.S. Government under commercial export credit and investment guarantee programs.
7. Excludes liabilities associated with military sales contracts financed by U.S. Government
grants and credits and included in line C2.
8. Includes $1,000 million prepayment for petroleum to be delivered by Mexico.
9. Includes receipts on short-term Commodity Credit Corporation assets financing U.S. merchandise exports
Table 5:
1. Also included in line 4.
2. Acquisition of equity holdings in existing and newly established companies, capital contributions, capitalization of intercompany accounts, and other equity contributions.
3. Sales, liquidations, and other dispositions of equity holdings, total and partial.
4. Petroleum includes the exploration, development and production of crude oil and gas and the
transporation, refining and marketing of petroleum products exclusive of petrochemicals. Manufacturing excludes petroleum refining. "Other" industries includes mining; trade; banking; finance (except banking), insurance, and real estate; agriculture, forestry, and fishing; construction; transportation, communication, and public utilities; and services.
5. Also included in line 40.
6. For U.S. direct investment abroad, data reflecting the new treatment of unincorporated affiliates (see Technical Notes) are not available for 1981.
Table 6:
1. Primarily provincial, regional, and municipal.
2. Largely transactions by International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD),
International Development Association (IDA), International Finance Corporation (IFC), Asian Development Bank (ADB), and Inter-American Development Bank (IDE).
3. Estimate for scheduled redemptions and identifiable early retirements. Includes estimates
based on Canadian statistics for redemptions of Canadian issues held in the United States. Unidentified and nonscheduled retirements appear in line 29.
4. Issues through finance affiliates established primarily to borrow capital from abroad. Issues
are almost always guaranteed by the establishing U.S. parent and are often convertible into the
parents' securities. To the extent proceeds are transferred from offshore affiliates to U.S. parents — the common practice —they are recorded as direct investment transactions in table 5, line
8.
Table 7:
1. Amounts outstanding were reduced by an increase in reporting exemption levels from $2
million to $10 million, effective March 1982. Capital flows omit the impact of the drop in reporting coverage.
2. Primarily mortgages, loans, and bills and notes drawn on foreigners.
3. Consists of Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
4. Bahamas, British West Indies (Cayman Islands), Netherlands Antilles, and Panama.
5. Based on data for Ecuador, Venezuela, Indonesia, and other Asian and African oil-exporting
countries.
Table 8:
1. Includes central governments and their agencies and corporations; state, provincial, and
local governments and their agencies and corporations; and international and regional organizations.
2. U.S.-owned banks are mainly U.S.-chartered banks and Edge Act subsidiaries. U.S. brokers'
and dealers' accounts may be commingled in some categories. Foreign-owned banks include U.S.
branches and agencies of foreign banks and majority-owned bank subsidiaries in the United
States.
3. Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.

able data from BEA's survey of establishments and acquisitions of new
U.S. affiliates (the BE-13), however,
indicate that, because of the large
number of transactions involved,
these inflows, although small for any
given affiliate, were large in total
during 1981-83. Therefore, quarterly
estimates of these unreported inflows
were made utilizing BE-13 data on
total outlays to establish or acquire
new U.S. affiliates.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Such outlays would constitute
direct investment capital inflows, and
should be included in the U.S. international transactions accounts, if they
were made directly by foreign parents. (If, instead, they were made indirectly through the parents' existing
U.S. affiliates, and the funds came
from abroad, they would constitute
capital inflows, but the inflows probably would have been reported in the
existing U.S. affiliate's quarterly

report.) The BE-13 survey indicates
that direct outlays by foreign parents
to establish or acquire U.S. affiliates
that did not report in the quarterly
sample survey were $977 million in
1981, $663 million in 1982, and $314
million in 1983. These data were
added to reported direct investment
capital inflows for the 3 years; for any
given affiliate, the data were included
in inflows in the quarter in which the
acquisition or establishment occurred.

U.S. export statistics reflect country of reported destination; in many cases the exports may be

not necessarily reflect the ultimate sources of foreign funds or ultimate destination of U.S. funds.
Data for individual countries within EC(6) may not add to the published totals for EC(6) since in

The International Investment Position
of the United States in 1983
JL HE net international investment
position of the United States declined
$43.6 billion to $106.0 billion in 1983.
The last decline was in 1977. A shift
to net capital inflows, mainly those
reported by U.S. banks, accounted for
most of the 1983 decline. Net valuation changes largely reflected price
appreciation of U.S. stocks held by
foreigners, which more than offset
price appreciation of foreign stocks
held in U.S. portfolios and other
changes (table I).1
The decline in the net investment
position of the United States in 1983,
as in 1977, partly reflected much
stronger expansion in economic activity in the United States than in other
leading countries. Both the U.S. merchandise trade and current-account
deficits increased sharply, from $36.5
billion and $9.2 billion in 1982, to
$61.1 billion and to $41.6 billion in
1983, respectively. Net recorded capital inflows to offset the current-account deficit occurred in 1983 as the
United States curtailed its lending
and stepped up its borrowing abroad.
High nominal and real U.S. interest
rates facilitated the adjustment, especially in the second half of the year,
when a rise in U.S. rates added to the
foreign demand for dollar assets. In
addition, the dollar appreciated for
the third consecutive year in exchange markets, rising 11 percent on
a trade-weighted basis against 10
major currencies.
The large statistical discrepancy in
the U.S. international transactions accounts for 1979-83 suggests possible
overstatement of the net investment
position, assuming that a significant
part of that discrepancy was unre-

1. Detailed discussions and data on U.S. direct investment abroad and foreign direct investment in the
United States, and additional data on the investment
position, will appear in the SURVEY OF CURRENT Busi74




corded net capital inflows. Thus, the
net U.S. investment position should
be interpreted with caution.

Changes in U.S. Assets Abroad
Bank claims
The most significant change in the
net investment position in 1983 was
related to the shift of U.S. banks to
being net borrowers of funds in international markets from having been
net suppliers of funds in 1980-82. In
addition to the significant dropoff in
claims, which is discussed in this section, there was a large increase in liabilities to foreigners related to the financing of the strong U.S. economic
expansion (see the section on changes
in foreign assets in the United
States).
Claims on foreigners reported by
U.S. banks increased moderately,
$25.4 billion, to $430.0 billion in 1983
(line 19). Claims had increased $111.1
billion in 1982, which included the
initial establishment of International
Banking Facilities (IBFs). The international demand for U.S. bank credit
was constrained in 1983 by limited expansion abroad, the related decline in
world trade, and reduction in some
countries' need for balance of payments financing. In addition, U.S.
banks were reluctant to increase their
exposure in the Eurodollar interbank
market and in Latin America in view
of mounting external debt problems
that surfaced in mid-1982. Most of the
1983 increase in claims was on own
foreign offices in the Caribbean; a
limited amount was on public borrowers in Latin America as the U.S.
share of International Monetary Fund
(IMF) and internationally negotiated
financing arrangements. Mexico received $5.0 billion of the $6.3 billion
increase in U.S. bank claims on Latin
American Republics in 1983. At year-

end, U.S. claims on Latin American
Republics amounted to $110 billion, or
25 percent of U.S. banks' total claims.
(These figures do not include claims
of U.S.-owned banks' overseas offices
on Latin American Republics, which
amounted to $32.0 billion and decreased $7.3 billion in 1983.)
Claims on U.S. banks' own foreign
offices increased $16.7 billion, compared with $30.6 billion in 1982.
Claims on unaffiliated banks and
other foreigners increased $14.7 billion, compared with $76.4 billion.
Banks' claims for domestic customers'
accounts decreased $6.0 billion, compared with an increase of $4.0 billion,
reflecting a drop in Eurodollar certificates of deposit held by U.S. money
market mutual funds.
Foreign securities
Sharply rising foreign stock markets led to record net U.S. purchases
of foreign stocks of $4.0 billion and a
$4.6 billion appreciation in the value
of U.S. holdings (line 17). Exchange
rate losses were $0.9 billion. At yearend, holdings totaled $26.5 billion.
Net U.S. purchases of British, French,
and Swedish stocks were $1.2, $0.4,
and $0.4 billion, respectively; price appreciation added 28 percent to the
value of holdings of European stocks.
U.S. net purchases of Japanese stocks
were $0.9 billion, augmented by a 12percent price appreciation. Additions
to U.S. holdings of Canadian stocks—
the largest position in U.S. portfolios—were limited to $0.5 billion, despite a 26-percent price appreciation.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign bonds
decreased $3.0 billion, to $3.7 billion,
reflecting reduced new bond offerings
in the United States (line 16). At
yearend, holdings totaled $58.3 billion. Lower foreign than U.S. interest
rates, and attractive terms in international bond markets, were contributing factors. U.S. holdings depreciated

June 1984

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

$2.0 billion in value. Holdings of Canadian bonds depreciated $0.7 billion
and net purchases declined to $1.1 billion, as Canadians placed issues in
international and their domestic markets. U.S. diversification into Western
European bonds accelerated, favoring
outstanding British bonds. World
Bank issues in the United States
slowed.

Other claims on unaffiliated foreigners reported by U.S. nonbanking
concerns increased $5.3 billion to
$33.5 billion, following a $6.6 billion
decrease (line 18). In 1982, nonbanking concerns withdrew deposits from
abroad, party to replace the recessioninduced drop in internally generated
funds. As business activity, profits,
and working capital increased strongly in 1983, funds were again placed
abroad, mainly in U.K. and Caribbean
banking centers and in Canada.
U.S. official reserve assets and other
U.S. Government assets
U.S. official reserve assets decreased $0.2 billion to $33.7 billion.
Exchange rate changes decreased reserve assets $1.4 billion; capital flows
increased assets $1.2 billion (line 3).
Drawings of dollars from the IMF by
Latin American countries increased
the U.S. reserve position with the
IMF. Payment of the U.S. share of
the IMF quota increase at yearend of
$0.7 billion in special drawing rights
and $0.3 billion each in German mark
and Japanese yen holdings increased
the U.S. reserve position with the
IMF $1.3 billion. Other declines in
foreign currency holdings reflected redemption of the last of U.S. Treasury
foreign currency notes denominated
in German marks and Swiss francs,
and repayment by Brazil and Mexico
of their drawings under reciprocal
and special currency arrangements
with the United States.
Other U.S. Government assets increased $5.0 billion to $79.3 billion
(line 8). The increase in 1983, as in
1982, was largely Government assistance to developing countries in the
Middle East and capital subscriptions
and contributions to international financial institutions (excluding the
IMF).

Changes in Foreign Assets in
the United States
Bank liabilities
U.S. liabilities to foreigners and
international financial institutions reported by U.S. banks, including U.S.
Treasury securities, increased $57.2




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
billion to $314.3 billion (lines 30 and
35). In 1982, when the establishment
of IBF's increased reported liabilities,
these liabilities increased $73.2 billion. A strong dollar, favorable interest rate differentials, and the safe
haven attraction of the United States
were contributing factors. In the
second half of the year, when U.S.
rates rose sharply and increased the
differential with rates abroad, large
bank inflows to finance U.S. economic
expansion and sharply lower bank
outflows to foreigners resulted in U.S.
banks becoming substantial net borrowers from foreigners for the year
for the first time since 1979.
Nearly $25.6 billion of the 1983 increase in liabilities was to U.S. banks'
own foreign offices in the Caribbean
and United Kingdom. U.S. banks
relied on deposits in overeas offices by
nonbank U.S. residents and on net
principal repayments of interbank
Eurocredits by other foreign banks to
finance their drawings from foreign
offices. U.S. liabilities to unaffiliated
and other foreigners increased $23.4
billion; nearly one-half were inflows
from other banks. Holdings of U.S.
Treasury securities increased $8.1 billion as purchasers—especially customers in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Japan—were attracted by
rising U.S. interest rates.
U.S. securities
Foreign holdings of JLJ.S. securities
other than U.S. Treasury securities
increased $21.1 billion to $114.6 billion, following an $18.2 billion increase (line 31). Holdings of U.S.
stocks appreciated 18 percent, or
$14.1 billion; net purchases added a
record $6.4 billion (line 33). Exceptional interest in stocks was evident
worldwide as U.S. and foreign stock
markets recovered from lackluster
performances in the 1981-82 recession
years. In 1983, German, Swiss, and
British residents accounted for most
net purchases, whereas in 1980-82—
following removal of outward portfolio investment restrictions in the
United Kingdom in late 1979—British
residents dominated net foreign purchases. Net British purchases dropped
to $1.8 billion in 1983, from $3.1 billion in 1982. Net purchases by Germany were $1.0 billion, up from $0.3 billion; by Switzerland, $1.3 billion,
shifting from sales of $0.6 billion; and

June 1984

by Canada, $1.2 billion, up from $0.2
billion.
Foreign holdings of U.S. corporate
and other bonds increased $0.6 billion
to $17.4 billion (line 32). Rising interest rates led to a $1.6 billion price decline, which partly offset the $2.2 billion in net foreign purchases. German
purchases slowed, while Swiss and
Japanese purchases increased.
Foreign official assets
Foreign official assets in the United
States increased $4.9 billion to $193.9
billion (line 21). Most official placements in the United States were invested in time deposits and U.S.
Treasury bills in 1983. Following reductions in 1982, dollar assets of a
number of industrial countries—including France, Italy, United Kingdom, Canada, and Japan—increased
$10.2 billion. Dollar assets of OPEC
members decreased $8.6 billion, as
revenues were curtailed by falling petroleum demand and weak petroleum
prices in world markets. Dollar holdings of other countries, mostly in
Asia, increased $3.8 billion.
Foreign direct investment in the
United States and other liabilities
Foreign direct investment in the
United States increased $11.6 billion
to $133.5 billion, as equity capital and
intercompany account inflows slowed
for the second consecutive year (line
29). Reinvested earnings increased
slightly in 1983,2 in contrast to a decrease in 1982. The strength of the
dollar and rising U.S. stock prices
tended to limit direct investment inflows.
U.S. liabilities to unaffiliated foreigners reported by U.S. nonbanking
concerns decreased $1.9 billion to
$25.2 billion, mostly to United Kingdom and Caribbean banking centers,
and to countries in Asia (line 34).
Trade payables to Middle East petroleum exporters were reduced and U.S.
businesses repaid some Euromarket
borrowings.

2. Estimates for foreign direct investment in the
United States have been revised to incorporate results
of BEA's recently completed benchmark survey for
1980.

Constant-Dollar Inventories, Sales, and Inventory-Sales Ratios for Manufacturing and Trade
Tables 1, 2, and 3 present constant-dollar inventories, sales, and inventory-sales ratios, respectively, quarterly and monthly. Table 4 presents
quarterly constant-dollar fixed-weighted inventory-sales ratios, i.e., ratios
obtained by weighting detailed industry ratios by 1972 sales. Table 5 presents monthly inventories for manufacturing by stage of fabrication.

Quarterly estimates for 1959 to 1981 were published in the November
1981 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. Quarterly estimates for 1980 to 1983,
and monthly estimates for 1983 were published in the September 1983
SURVEY.

3. Effective December 1, 1982, there was a break in the commercial paper series because
of changes in reporting panels, modifications to reporting instructions and corrections to
misreported bank data.
$ Effective January 1984, series revised due to changes in the reporting panel and in the
item contents. The new panel includes 168 banks that had domestic office assets exceeding
$1.4 billion as of December 31, 1982.
# Includes data for items not shown separately.

* "Transaction balances other than demand deposits" consists of ATS, NOW, super
NOW, and telephone transfer accounts, which formerly were classified with savings deposits. "Nontransaction balances" reflects the combination of deposits formerly reported separately as time deposits and the savings deposits remaining after deduction of the items now
reported separately under "transaction balances."
§ Excludes loans and federal funds transactions with domestic commercial banks and
includes valuation reserves (individual loan items are shown gross; i.e., before deduction of
valuation reserves).
O Securities of Federal agencies and corporations have been shifted out of "other securities" and are now combined with U.S. Treasury securities. Also, loan obligations of States
and political subdivisions have been shifted out of "other securities" and are now shown
separately among the loan items.

2. This series has been discontinued.
t Effective Feb. 1984 SURVEY, the money stock measures and components have been
revised back to 1959 and are available from the Banking Section of the Division of Research
and Statistics at the Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D.C. 20551
$ Composition of the money stock measures is as follows:
ML—This measure is currency plus demand deposits at commercial banks and interestearning checkable deposits at all depository institutions—namely NOW accounts, automatic transfer from savings (ATS) accounts, and credit union share draft balances—as well
as a small amount of demand deposits at thrift institutions that cannot, using present data
sources, be separated from interest-earning checkable deposits.
M2.—This measure adds to Ml overnight repurchase agreements (RP's) issued by commercial banks and certain overnight Eurodollars (those issued by Caribbean branches of
member banks) held by U.S. nonbank residents, money market mutual fund shares, and
savings and small-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of less than
$100,000) at all depository institutions. Depository institutions are commercial banks (including U.S. agencies and branches of foreign banks, Edge Act corporations, and foreign investment

The Prime Rate
The prime rate is the interest rate banks charge their most creditworthy
business customers for short-term loans. It is the base used to scale
upward the rates charged on most loans to other business customers. The
prime rate is not as sensitive as money market instrument rates, which
fluctuate daily in response to short-term changes in supply and demand.
Rather, its movements tend to be infrequent, changing only by increments of one quarter of a percentage point. Major banks tend to change
their prime rate in response to increasing differentials with selected open
market money rates.

The data are monthly averages computed by multiplying each "predominant" prime rate (the rate charged by the majority of 30 large money
market banks) by the number of days it was in effect during the month,
summing these products, and dividing by the number of days in the
month. The annual data are unweighted averages of the monthly averages.
For a discussion of the history of the prime rate and its role in the
lending process, see "The Prime Rate," Monthly Review, Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, April and May 1962, pp. 54-59 and 70-73, respectively,,
