THE BUSINESS SITUATION
Daniel Larkins
prepared this
article.

HE FINAL estimate of growth in real gross
domestic product (GDP) for the first quarter of 1992 was 2.7 percent, 0.3 percentage point
higher than the preliminary estimate released last
month (table i).1 Residential and nonresidential
fixed investment, the change in business inventories, and net exports of goods and services were
revised up; personal consumption expenditures
and government purchases were revised down.
For real gross domestic purchases, the final estimate of a 2.6-percent increase is o.i percentage
point higher than the preliminary estimate. The
upward revision in gross domestic purchases was
smaller than that in GDP because gross domestic
purchases does not include net exports.
The final estimates of a 3.o-percent increase in
the fixed-weighted price index for gross domestic
purchases and a 3.3-percent increase in the fixedweighted price index for GDP reflect downward
revisions of o.i percentage point.
Gross national product (GNP).—Real GNP increased 3.4 percent in the first quarter. GNP
equals GDP plus net receipts of factor income
from the rest of the world. Net receipts of factor
income increased in the first quarter, reflecting
an increase in profits from the rest of the world
and a decrease in interest payments to the rest of
the world.
i. Quarterly estimates in the national income and product accounts are
expressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, and quarterly changes are differences between these rates. Quarter-to-quarter percent changes are annualized.
Real, or constant-dollar, estimates are expressed in 1987 dollars and are based
on 1987 weights.

Looking Ahead...
• National Income and Product Accounts Revision. Revised estimates for the 3-year period beginning with the first
quarter of 1989 will be presented in the July SURVEY. Selected
data will be available as of July 30.
• Revision of Annual State Personal Income. The results
of a comprehensive, or benchmark, revision of the annual estimates of State personal income for 1969-91 will be presented
in the August SURVEY.




In estimating real GNP, the current-dollar value
of exports of goods and services is deflated by
export prices, the current-dollar value of imports
of goods and services is deflated by import prices,
and the current-dollar value of most factor income is deflated by the deflator for net domestic

Personal consumption expenditures: Revised retail sales for January through March.
Nonresidential fixed investment Revised construction put in place for February and March,
revised manufacturers' shipments of equipment for January through March, and newly available
estimates of shipments of complete civilian aircraft for March.
Residential investment Revised construction put in place for February and March.
Change in business inventories: Revised manufacturing and trade inventories for January
through March.
Net exports of goods and services: Revised merchandise exports and imports for March
and revised exports and imports of services for the quarter.
Government purchases: Revised State and local government construction put in place for
February and March.
Net interest Financial assets held by households for the quarter and net interest from the
rest of the world for the quarter.

product. Another measure of U.S. production,
command-basis GNP, is calculated by deflating exports of goods and services and receipts of factor
income by the implicit price deflator for imports
of goods and services and payments of factor
income. Thus, command-basis GNP measures
U.S. production in terms of its purchasing power.
(Command-basis GNP is shown in table 1.11 of
the "Selected NIPA Tables.") In recent quarters, command-basis GNP has presented much the
same picture of the U.S. economy as GNP: In the
first quarter, command-basis GNP increased 3.8
percent, compared with the 34-percent increase
in GNP; in the fourth quarter of 1991, it increased
o.i percent, compared with a o.4-percent increase
in GNP; and in the third quarter, it increased 2.1
percent, compared with a 2.0-percent increase in
GNP.

and capital consumption adjustment (ccAdj)—
increased $39.8 billion in the first quarter of 1992
(table 2). This was the fifth consecutive increase
in profits, and it was much larger than the preceding four increases, which averaged $4.9 billion.
Despite these increases, profits were still 6.1 percent below their level in the fourth quarter of
1988, their most recent cyclical peak.
Profits from the domestic operations of nonfinancial corporations increased $23.8 billion in
the first quarter after increasing $8.9 billion in
the fourth quarter of 1991; the first-quarter increase mainly reflected an increase in profits per
unit that resulted from both higher prices and
lower unit costs. Profits from the domestic operations of financial corporations increased $10.1
billion after decreasing $1.4 billion. Profits from
the rest of the world increased $5.9 billion after
increasing $2.0 billion.
Cash flow from current production, a profitsrelated measure of internally generated funds
available to corporations for investment, increased $26.5 billion after increasing $13.3 billion.
Cash flow as a percentage of nonresidential fixed
investment increased for the sixth consecutive
quarter, to 85.6 percent, its highest level since
1977.
Profits by industry.—Profits before tax (PBT) with
IVA is the best measure of industry profits because estimates of the CCAdj by industry do not
exist. According to this measure, profits arising
from domestic operations increased $21.9 billion
after increasing $1.5 billion. The first-quarter increase was accounted for by both financial and
nonfinancial corporations.
Among nonfinancial corporations, manufacturing accounted for about two-thirds of the increase. Motor vehicle manufacturers contributed
the most to the increase in manufacturing profits,
but manufacturers of food and kindred products, of petroleum and coal products, and of
"other durable" goods also posted higher profits.
Among nonfinancial corporations, commercial
banks and savings and loan associations more
than accounted for the first-quarter increase in
profits.
Profits from the rest of the world increased
$5.9 billion. This component of profits measures
profits received by U.S. parents from their foreign
affiliates less profits paid to foreign parents by
their U.S. affiliates. In the first quarter, receipts

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

NOTE.—The quantity and price indexes in this table are calculate from weighted averages of the detailed output
and prices used to prepare each aggregate and component. The fixed weighted measures use as weights the
composition of output in 1987. For the alternative indexes, the chain-type indexes with annual weights use weights
for the preceding and current years, and the indexes with benchmark-years weights use weights of 1959, 1963,
1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, and 1987 and the most recent year Percent changes from preceding period for selected
items in this table are shown in table 8.1.

NOTE—Except for disposable personal income, the quantity and price indexes in this table are calculated from
weighted averages of the detailed output and prices used to prepare each aggregate and component. The fixed
weighted measures use as weights the composition of output in 1987. For the alternative indexes, the chain-type
indexes with annual weights use weights for the preceding and current years, and the indexes with benchmarkyears weights use weights of 1959, 1963, 1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, and 1987 and the most recent year.

Pollution Abatement and Control
Expenditures, 1972-90
• Estimates for 1990
• Revised Estimates for 1972-89
By Gary L Rutledge and Mary L Leonard
(j\ EAL SPENDING for pollution abatement and
jL\control (PAC) increased 2.2 percent in 1990,
following a i.3-percent increase in 1989 (table i).
Prices of PAC goods and services, as measured by
the PAC fixed-weighted price index, increased 4.4
percent, slightly more than in 1989.
Over nine-tenths of all PAC spending is for
pollution abatement (PA); the rest comprises
two components—regulation and monitoring expenditures and research and development expenditures. Real PA expenditures increased 2.3
percent in 1990, up from a 1.2-percent increase
in 1989. Real spending for regulation and monitoring decreased 1.3 percent after an o.9-percent
increase. Real spending for research and development was unchanged after a 2.7-percent
increase.1

In addition to the estimates for 1990, this article presents revised estimates of PAC expenditures
for 1972-89. The revised estimates do not substantially alter the overall picture of PAC spending
throughout the economy (chart 3). The revised
current-dollar estimates primarily incorporate revisions in estimates for business operation of
facilities for air and water PA, for new plant and
discharge. Regulation and monitoring is a government activity that stimulates
and guides action to reduce pollutant emissions. Research and development
by business and government not only supports abatement but also helps
increase the efficiency of regulation and monitoring.
PAC spending covers most, but not all, PAC activities, which are defined as
those resulting from rules, policies and conventions, and formal regulations
restricting the release of pollutants into common-property media such as
the air and water. PAC spending excludes (i) PAC activities that do not use
productive resources (for example, plant closings due to PAC, delays in plant
construction, or curtailments in the use of chemicals in manufacturing and
agriculture) and (2) PAC activities that do use productive resources but that
are nonmarket activities (for example, volunteer litter removal).
For the purpose of concise presentation, solid waste management—which
includes the collection and disposal of solid waste and the alteration of production processes to generate less solid waste—is categorized as solid waste
PAC in the tables in this article. These estimates mainly cover spending
for collection and disposal by means acceptable to Federal, State, and local
authorities; in the text, they are referred to as "solid waste disposal" spending.

i. The expenditures discussed in this article are for goods and services
that U.S. residents use to produce cleaner air and water and to manage solid
waste. PA directly reduces pollutant emissions by preventing the generation of
pollutants, by recycling the pollutants, or by treating the pollutants prior to

equipment expenditures by business for PA, for
purchases of septic systems and laterals (that is,
connectors to public sewers) for water PA, and for
construction of public sewer systems by government for water PA. The revised constant-dollar
estimates incorporate a shift in the base period
from 1982 to ipS/.2
The first section of this article examines real
PAG spending and PAC prices in 1990. The second section describes trends in the estimates of
PAC expenditures. The third section discusses the
sources and the size of the revisions for 197289, and the fourth discusses the sources used in
preparing the estimates.
Recent estimates
Real PAC spending in 1990.—Real PAC spending increased $1.7 billion, or 2.2 percent, to $81.8 billion
in 1990 (table i, with detail in tables 9 and 10). It
had increased 1.3 percent in 1989. Real spending
for air PAC decreased 6.5 percent in 1990, following an 8.4-percent decrease in 1989 (table 2).
The 1990 decrease was attributable to declines
in personal and business spending for purchasing and operating emission abatement devices on
motor vehicles. Real spending for both water PAC
and solid waste disposal rose in 1990. Water PAC
spending increased 8.9 percent, following an increase of 5.1 percent. The 1990 increase reflected
increases in new plant and equipment spending
and in purchases and operation of public sewer
systems. Solid waste disposal spending increased
2. The shift in the base period puts these estimates on the same basis as
the constant-dollar national income and product accounts estimates, which
shifted from a 1982 to a 1987 base as part of the 1991 comprehensive revision.

Income and Product Accounts: A Review of Revisions and Major Statistical
Changes," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 71 (December 1991): 32-36.

5.8 percent, following an increase of 10.5 percent.
The 1990 increase reflected increases both in business spending to operate plant and equipment
and in government spending.
By sector, personal consumption PA spending
decreased in 1990, while business and government PA spending increased. The largest increase,
$1.4 billion, was in business PA spending to purchase new plant and equipment. The second
largest increase, $0.9 billion, was in government
PA spending for the construction of public sewer
systems.
Personal consumption PA expenditures, all of
which is for the purchase and operation of motor vehicle emission abatement devices, decreased
$1.5 billion (14.6 percent) in 1990 after a similar
drop the previous year. Purchases of these devices (for example, catalytic converters) decreased
$0.7 billion (8.1 percent), reflecting a fall in unit
sales of vehicles. The cost of operating these devices also decreased $0.7 billion (79.0 percent); in
1990, the price gap between unleaded and leaded
gasoline narrowed for the fifth consecutive year,
sharply cutting the cost of operating these devices
(see the box on page 33).
Business PA expenditures increased $1.9 billion
(4.0 percent) in 1990. PA spending on capital
account increased $1.1 billion, reflecting the increase in purchases of new plant and equipment.
PA spending on current account increased $0.9
billion, largely reflecting increases in the operation of plant and equipment and of public sewer
systems.
Government PA expenditures increased $1.3 billion (7.3 percent). The increase was primarily for

and local government spending for solid waste
disposal also increased.

by type in table 4; the types are in accordance with definitions in Federal legislation.3

PAC prices in 1990.—The fixed-weighted price index for total PAC spending increased 4.4 percent
in 1990, following a 4.o-percent increase in 1989
(table 2). Prices for air PAC and for solid waste
disposal increased more in 1990 than in 1989, and
prices for water PAC increased less.

Real spending by sector.—During 1972-90, real
PAC spending increased $35.5 billion. Business
spending accounted for $19.7 billion of the increase, government spending for $10.6 billion,
and personal consumption spending for $5.2
billion (chart i).
Within business PAC spending, most of the
dollar increase was in current-account spending,
which declined only in 1982. Current-account
spending increased at an average annual rate
of 4.2 percent during 1972-81 and 3.4 percent
during 1981-90. Capital-account spending increased little overall; declines in 1982 and 1983
were followed by a limited recovery. Capitalaccount spending increased at an average annual
rate of 1.3 percent during 1972-81 and 0.5 percent
during 1981-90. The declines in 1982 (for currentaccount and capital-account spending) and in
1983 (for capital-account spending) reflected relatively weak general business conditions coupled
with some relaxation of environmental regulatory
concern in the early 1980'$.
Within government PAC spending, most of the
dollar increase was in spending for public sewer
system construction, one of the most volatile PAC
components. Large declines in spending for pub-

Real PAC spending in 1991.—According to the
information available in June 1992, real PAC
spending in 1991 remained close to the 1990
level. Increases in spending to operate PA plant
and equipment and in PA spending by State and
local governments for solid waste disposal are expected to have offset decreases in PAC components
such as spending to purchase and operate motor
vehicle emission abatement devices.
Trends in real PAC spending, 1972-90
Total PAC spending increased at a 3.2-percent average annual rate during 1972-90; it increased
faster (4.1 percent) during 1972-81 and slower
(2.3 percent) during 1981-90. As a percent of
GDP, real spending for PAC rose slightly before reaching a peak of 1.8 percent in 1976,
fell to a low of i.o percent in 1984, and rose
to 1.7 percent in 1990. The estimates of real
spending are presented by sector (for example, business) in table 3; the sectors are in
accordance with national economic accounting conventions. The estimates are presented

3. For air PA, the Clean Air Act classifies sources of pollutants as mobile (for example, automobiles) or stationary (for example, factories). For
water PA, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act classifies sources of pollutants as point (for example, factories) or nonpoint (for example, highway
construction projects).

lie sewer system construction in 1981 and 1982
contributed to large declines in total PAG spending in those years. Spending for public sewer
system construction increased at an average annual rate of 6.2 percent during 1972-81 and 2.8
percent during 1981-90.
Within personal consumption PAC spending,
most of the dollar increase in spending was for
purchases of motor vehicle emission abatement
devices (durables), which increased at an average
annual rate of 21.9 percent during 1972-81 and 4.1
percent during 1981-90. Since 1981, yearly purchases have been relatively volatile—declining in
1982, increasing through 1986, declining in 1987,
increasing in 1988, and declining in 1989 and 1990.
Spending to operate these devices increased at an
average annual rate of 0.6 percent during 1972-

81 and then declined at an average annual rate
of 24.9 percent during 1981-90. Since the mid1980'$, this spending has declined sharply. (For a
discussion of spending for operation of emission
abatement devices on motor vehicles, see the box
on page 33.)
Real spending by type.—Of the overall increase in
real PAC spending during 1972-90, $34.4 billion
was for pollution abatement, $0.7 billion was for
regulation and monitoring, and $0.5 billion was
for research and development. The increase for
pollution abatement included $8.4 billion for air
PA, $14.8 billion for water PA, and $11.5 billion for
solid waste disposal (chart 2).
Air PA spending increased at an average annual rate of 5.4 during 1972-81 and declined 0.8
percent during 1981-90 (table 4). Within air

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

PA spending, most of the dollar increase was in
spending to abate emissions from mobile sources
(primarily cars and light trucks). Mobile sources
spending generally increased until 1986; it declined through 1990 except for an increase in 1988.
The uptrend through 1986 and the increase in
1988 mainly reflected increases in purchases of
emission abatement devices; the downtrend after 1986 mainly reflected decreases in spending to
operate these devices. During 1972-81, stationary
source spending (the other major component of
air PA spending) increased at an average annual
rate of 1.4 percent, mainly reflecting an uptrend
in spending to operate industrial facilities. During 1981-90, it decreased at a 2.o-percent rate,
mainly reflecting declines in spending to purchase
industrial facilities.

Water PA spending increased at an average annual rate of 3.0 percent during 1972-81 and 3.6
percent during 1981-90. Almost all of water PA
spending consists of spending to abate pollution emissions from point sources. Within point
source spending, most of the increases during
1972-90 were accounted for by growth in the
operation of both public sewer systems and industrial water PA facilities and in the construction
of public sewer systems.
Solid waste disposal spending increased at an
average annual rate of 4.4 percent during 197281 and 5.1 percent during 1981-90. It increased
each year except in 1982; often strong increases
during 1981-90 reflected increased waste flow
from an expanding economy after 1982, together
with increased regulatory interest after 1984 in
the disposal of wastes (particularly hazardous
wastes).

Sources and size of revisions

for air and water PA plant and equipment, and
by government for public sewer systems (table 5b). For nonmanufacturing establishments
except electric utilities, spending to operate air
and water PA plant and equipment was revised to
incorporate revised estimates of the stock of PA
facilities in operation; the stock estimates were
revised down, so operating costs were revised
down. For electric utilities, spending for air and
water PA plant and equipment was revised upward, reflecting an upward revision in the Census
Bureau estimate of total plant and equipment
spending. Spending for public sewer systems
was revised to incorporate revised estimates from
the Census Bureau for construction put in place,
which were revised downward for each year
before 1981 and generally upward thereafter.
Revisions due to changes in methodology
mainly reflected downward revisions in the estimates of spending by nonmanufacturing establishments except electric utilities for air and water
PA plant and equipment and for solid waste disposal capital and its operation. Spending by
nonmanufacturing establishments (except electric utilities) for PA capital had previously been
estimated mainly by adjusting enterprise data
from the Structures and Equipment Survey—
Supplement for Pollution Abatement to an establishment basis; however, because the Census
Bureau reduced the industry coverage of this

The revisions in PAC spending for 1972-89
are statistical in origin; definitions, concepts,
and coverage were not changed. Revisions in
current-dollar estimates resulted from changes in
methodology—that is, new source data and/or
estimating procedures—and the incorporation of
revised data from regularly used sources. Revisions in constant-dollar estimates resulted from
three main sources: (i) The revisions in the
current-dollar estimates, (2) the shift in the base
period from 1982 to 1987, and (3) "other" revisions that result from such sources as revisions
in prices and the interaction of redistributions of
current-dollar levels within components, which,
in effect, reweight the constant-dollar component
detail.
Current-dollar revisions.—The current-dollar estimates for all years were revised down; the
largest downward revision was $5.9 billion in 1989
(table 5a). For 1972-80, the revisions mainly
reflected revisions in the source data. For 198189, the revisions mainly reflected changes in
methodology.
Revisions due to changes and updates in source
data mainly affected the estimates of spending
by nonmanufacturing establishments except electric utilities to operate air and water PA plant
and equipment, by electric utility establishments

survey, BEA adopted indirect estimation methods to use the limited information still available
(for further details, see the discussion of other
sources in the section "Sources of the estimates").
This adoption of indirect methods for estimating
spending for air and water capital led to alterations of the methods for estimating spending
for solid waste disposal capital and, in turn, its
operation.
The estimates of purchases of septic systems
and laterals were also generally revised downward.
The method used to prepare these
estimates begins with the limited information
available about the extent and patterns of use of
septic systems and laterals, and it fills data gaps
by interpolations and trend analyses. In this revision, the trend analyses were improved, and
some updated or new data were incorporated (for
example, the decennial housing census).
Constant-dollar revisions.—The preceding section
examined the revisions in the current-dollar estimates in terms of the differences between the
revised and the previously published levels. This
approach is not as useful for the constant-dollar
estimates, because the shift in the base period
changes the prices in which these series are measured; the differences in the levels of the revised
and the previously published series primarily reflect this shift. More analytically useful is an
examination of the constant-dollar revisions in
terms of rates of change.
On the whole, the revised constant-dollar estimates do not appear to have substantially altered
the view of PAC spending throughout the economy (chart 3). The revised PAC estimates show
a pattern of growth similar to that shown by the
previously published estimates: Real PAC spending rose steadily through 1980, declined from 1980
through 1982, and increased continuously from
1983 through 1989. During 1972-89, PAC spending increased at an average annual rate of 3.3
percent for both the revised and the unrevised
series (table 6). In general, the effects on growth
rates in constant-dollar estimates that are noticeable largely reflect the current-dollar revisions;
the base year shift had only a minor effect on
growth rates.
In terms of the average annual rates of change
in constant-dollar PAC spending, the largest revision was for the government sector. Real PAC
spending by government increased 3.7 percent on
the revised basis, up from 2.0 percent previously.
The revision reflects spending on public sewer
system construction: The spending levels were
revised downward for the early 1970'$ and up-




June 1992

ward for the late 1980'$. Revised rates of change
for the other sectors, as well as for PAC spending
by type, are similar to those previously published.
Thus, a noticeable change in the composition of
total PAC spending was in the share of spending
accounted for by government (table 7).
Sources of the estimates
Some estimates of PAC expenditures are based directly on data from surveys or censuses; others
are prepared by indirect methods. PAC estimates
derived from direct sources typically account for
about three-fifths of total PAC spending; the re-

1. Measures the difference in the average annual rates of change between the previously published estimates restated in 1987 dollars and the previously published estimates in 1982 dollars.
2. Obtained as a residual. Revisions in constant-dollar estimates resulted from three main
sources: (1) The revisions in current-dollar estimates, (2) The shift in the base year period from

mainder is based on other sources that provide
more general survey information and on assumptions made to utilize this information. Table 8
shows the breakdown of PAG spending by type of
estimate for 1990.
Surveys.—The most important direct sources are
the Pollution Abatement Costs and Expenditures (PACE) Survey (for PA capital and operating
spending by manufacturing establishments) and
surveys of government finances (for government
spending to operate sewer systems and for solid
waste disposal) and of new construction put
in place (for government spending to construct
sewer systems). These key surveys, as well
as the Structures and Equipment Expenditures

terprises), are all conducted by the Bureau of
the Census. In addition, BEA collects data on
Federal agency funding for PAG and information
from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
regional offices on State and local government
spending for regulation and monitoring. Finally,
BEA relies on the Energy Information Agency of
the U.S. Department of Energy to collect data on
PA operating spending by electric utilities from
its Steam-Electric Plant Operation and Design
Report.
Other sources.—Half of the remainder of PAC
spending is attributable to the indirect estimation of spending for motor vehicle emission
abatement devices and their operation (fuel consumption penalty, maintenance cost, and fuel
price penalty—see the box on page 33). Information on unit sales of motor vehicles is from
the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association of
the United States, Inc., and the dollar value per
emission abatement device at time of purchase
is derived from selected Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) information. Components of operating
spending are based on information from a variety of sources, including studies by EPA (for the
fuel consumption penalty and maintenance cost
for pre-1975 model year vehicles), data from BLS
(for the prices of unleaded and leaded gasoline
and the amount of unleaded gasoline purchases
to which the fuel price penalty applies), and data
from R.L. Polk, Inc. (for the inventory, or stock,
of motor vehicles by model year).
The second most important indirect PAC estimate is for residential and commercial solid waste
disposal by business. The method used to pre-

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

pare this estimate relies on (i) studies by EPA
about the volume of solid waste disposed and
the relative costs of private versus government
disposal and (2) surveys of government disposal.
Since 1988, PA spending by nonmanufacturing
establishments except electric utilities has become increasingly hard to estimate. Because of
a cutback in the number of industries covered
by the Structures and Equipment Expenditures
Survey—Supplement for Pollution Abatement,
BEA designed new indirect estimation methods
that rely less heavily on this particular survey
source. The cutback affected every nonmanufacturing PA spending estimate except that for
electric utilities capital and operating spending;
however, all the affected estimates have benefited
from the development of new methods. The new
methods, although far from ideal, appear to give
improved estimates for PA plant and equipment
spending, which, in turn, appears to improve
the data inputs (for example, the estimates of
the stock of PA facilities operated) for estimating
PA operating spending. The estimates of mining PA capital spending and of nonmanufacturing

(except electric utility) PA capital spending are
now based on a variety of data sources, including the Structures and Equipment Expenditures
Survey—Supplement for Pollution Abatement

Operating Costs of Emission Abatement Devices on Motor Vehicles
In 1972, real consumer spending to operate motor vehicle emission
abatement devices was $2.5 billion and accounted for 71.2 percent
of personal consumption pollution abatement (PA) spending. After
reaching a peak of $3.6 billion in 1978, this spending fell to less than
$0.2 billion by 1990 and accounted for less than 2.3 percent of personal consumption PA spending. For business spending, a similarly
dramatic drop occurred. This box discusses the developments that
have shaped motor vehicle emission abatement spending since 1972
and explains the decline in operation costs for these devices.
The decline in spending for the operation of emission abatement
devices on motor vehicles (that is, cars and light trucks) is consistent with the technological solutions selected by manufacturers
in response to Federal legislation. The Clean Air Act of 1965 authorized the setting of standards to reduce motor vehicle exhaust
emissions of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide; the Clean Air Act
of 1970 (with further amendments in 1977) encouraged manufacturers to investigate new technologies to meet motor vehicle emission
standards stated in terms of specific percentage reductions for hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and oxides of nitrogen. For model year
1968-74 vehicles (and earlier vehicles for California), manufacturers
placed mainly "low-tech" (for example, spark timing recalibration
and positive crankcase ventilation) devices on vehicles. For model
year 1975, manufacturers began to place catalytic devices on vehicles;
by the early 1980*5, they began to add computer controls on vehicle
emissions.
The emission abatement devices used in model years prior to 1975
were relatively inexpensive but had high operating costs that consisted of a fuel consumption penalty (the value of the extra gallons
of gasoline used as a result of emission abatement devices) and a
maintenance cost (the added engine maintenance cost resulting from
the use of the devices, including the continued use of leaded fuel).




In contrast, catalytic devices and, later, computer controls had relatively high purchase costs but had operating costs that consisted
only of a fuel price penalty (that is, the price difference between
unleaded and leaded gasoline multiplied by the gallons of unleaded
gasoline used). Although these catalytic devices required the extra
expense of using unleaded gasoline, they tended to improve the fuel
economy of vehicles and reduce overall vehicle maintenance costs
(for example, extending the exhaust system life and reducing the
need for frequent tune-ups).
Over time, the purchase costs associated with catalytic devices
and computer controls led to substantial increases in spending, as
unit sales of vehicles with these devices increased. The associated
operating costs, however, tended to flatten rather than grow, as increases in the fuel price penalty (as new vehicles were added to the
stock of vehicles) were offset by decreases in the fuel consumption
penalty and in maintenance costs (as older vehicles dropped from
the stock of vehicles).
By the mid-i98o's, markets for gasoline were transforming: Fewer
and fewer vehicles could use leaded gasoline, and economies of scale,
as well as technological improvements (for example, improvements
in the production of nonlead octane-boosting additives), were reducing the price differential between leaded and unleaded gasoline.
Because of this market transformation, the fuel price penalty—which
had been rising each year—began to decline.
The narrowing in this price difference accelerated in the late
1980*5, leading to sharp reductions in operating costs of emission
abatement devices. Operating costs plummeted in 1988 and 1989
and are expected to reach a level close to zero in 1991. In the future,
one can expect the stock of emission abatement devices to continue
growing, but the initial purchase price is expected to be the only
measurable cost attributable to pollution abatement.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

(for the few industries still covered, for example, mining and petroleum), an environmental
protection expenditures survey by the American
Petroleum Institute, and the Census of Mineral
Industries.
Estimates of residential systems water PA
spending consist of purchases of septic systems
and laterals and spending for cleaning septic systems. Data sources for these estimates include
surveys of housing conducted by the Census
Bureau; related construction-activity indicators,
such as housing permits and housing starts; and
information from telephone contacts with technical experts about the cost of installation and
cleaning of PA residential systems.
The extra cost of cleaner fuel used by electric utilities that adopt a fuel-switching strategy to lessen emissions is estimated primarily

from information on the cost and quality of
oil and coal that utilities consume, which is reported by the Energy Information Agency of the
U.S. Department of Energy in its Electric Power
Monthly.
Notable among the remaining sources is the
indirect method to estimate private purchases for
research and development PA spending. This
method uses findings concerning total research
and development spending from the Industrial
Research and Development (R&D) Survey by the
National Science Foundation (NSF), together with
fixed ratios that identify the PA portion of total research and development spending. The PA ratios
are computed from data for the early 1980*5, before motor vehicle companies stopped reporting
all items on NSF'S Industrial R&D Survey.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

June 1992

The Composite Index of Coincident Indicators
and Alternative Coincident Indexes
By George R. Green and Barry A. Beckman

W. Clifton Baldwin
and Charles S.
Robinson prepared
the alternative
coincident indexes.




* HE COMPOSITE index of coincident indiJL cators (ici) is designed to approximate
movements in aggregate economic activity; in
particular, it is designed to have turning points
that coincide with those of the business cycle.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) constructs the ici from four components: Employees on nonagricultural payrolls (employment),
real personal income less transfer payments (income), industrial production (production), and
real manufacturing and trade sales (sales).
This article reviews the cyclical patterns of the
ici and describes a characteristic of the method
for calculating the ici that has distorted its recent
movements; it then discusses a modification to
the methodology and presents several alternative
coincident indexes.1
Cyclical patterns of the ici
In the last eight business cycles, all but one of the
turning points in the ici were in the same quarter as, or in an adjacent quarter to, the business
cycle turning points, which are designated by the
National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER).
For the most recent cycle, the peak designated
by NBER was in July 1990, and the ici peak was
in June 1990; NBER has not yet designated the
trough, but the ici shows an apparent cyclical
low in January 1992. Two ici components—
employment and income—have cyclical lows in
that month; the cyclical low for production is in
March 1991, and the low for sales is in January
1991 (chart i).
One way of assessing the plausibility of the recent ici low as a signal of the cyclical trough is
to compare its timing with that of the trough of
real gross national product (GNP), a broad measure of economic activity.2 With one exception
(1970), the cyclical lows-for the ici and for GNP
have occurred in the same or adjacent quarters in

each of the past eight recessions. In the current
business cycle, the cyclical low for GNP occurred
in the first quarter of 1991, much earlier than that
for the ici.
The disparity in the timing of the apparent
cyclical lows for the two series is traceable to
a characteristic of the method used to calculate
the ici. In the current cycle, the effects of this
characteristic have become noticeable because of
an extended period of very slow growth in the
ici components. In past cycles, the ici components generally made more rapid and sustained
recoveries from their cyclical lows.

be separated into a trend part and a cyclical part.
The use of (combined) weights that sum to more
than 1.0 overweights the cyclical part (which has
been weak in recent months) relative to the trend
part. The modified methodology described in the
box constrains the sum of the weights to i.o and
gives the same weight to the cyclical and trend
parts of changes in the ici.

Chart 2 shows the patterns during the current
cycle for the currently published ici (index A)

ici methodology
The method used by BEA to calculate the ici is
based on the standard composite index methodology developed by NBER researchers Geoffrey H.
Moore and Julius Shiskin in the i95o's. Briefly,
that method consists of the following steps:
(1) Monthly symmetrical percent changes are
calculated for each of the four component
series.
(2) To prevent the more volatile component series from dominating the index, each series
of changes is standardized so that its average absolute value is i.o; this standardization
is accomplished by dividing each series of
changes by its average absolute value.
(3) For each month, the standardized component changes are averaged.
(4) The series of average standardized changes is
cumulated into a preliminary ici, beginning
with a value of 100 for the initial month.
(5) The trend of the preliminary ici is subtracted
from the trend in real GNP to derive a trend
adjustment factor.
(6) The trend adjustment factor is added to the
average standardized changes calculated in
step 3.
(7) The trend-adjusted average standardized
changes from step 6 are cumulated into an
ICI.

(8) The final ici is calculated by dividing each
month of the ici in step 7 by its average value
in 1982.
A characteristic of this methodology is that
steps 2 and 3, taken together, implicitly apply
two sets of weights to symmetrical component
changes. For the currently published ici, the sum
of these combined weights is 1.833. The technical
description of the ici methodology in the accompanying box shows that the change in the ici can

and four alternative coincident indexes (indexes
B, C, D, and E). The four alternative indexes incorporate revised component data and updated
parameters that are estimated using data for the
period 1948-85. Indexes B and C were prepared
using the same methodology as index A, but the
trend of index C was not forced to equal that of
real GNP. Index D was prepared using a modified
ici methodology that forces the sum of weights
on component changes to equal i.o. Index E was
prepared by applying a very different, experimental methodology developed by James H. Stock
and Mark W. Watson to the four components
used by BEA.3
As shown in chart 2, the levels and patterns of
the indexes A and B are very similar—each shows
a downward drift in recent periods. Indexes A,
B, and C each show a cyclical peak in June 1990.
However, indexes A and B each show an apparent
cyclical low in January 1992, but index C shows an
apparent cyclical low in March 1991. The timing
of the cyclical low in index C agrees closely with
that in real GNP; however, the trend of index C
from the first quarter of 1959 to the fourth quarter
of 1990 is 5.24 percent at an annual rate, much
higher than the 2.99-percent trend of real GNP or
the trends for any of the four ici components for
3. Stock and Watson's methodology for calculating their experimental
ici involves complicated and advanced statistical methods. (See James H.
Stock and Mark W. Watson, "A Probability Model of the Coincident Economic Indicators," in Leading Economic Indicators* edited by Kajal Lahiri and
Geoffrey H. Moore (Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press, 1991).) For
example, determination of appropriate weights involves maximum likelihood
estimation using Kalman filters and gamma functions. Three of the four
components they use are identical to those used by BEA, and their fourth
component, employee hours in nonagricultural establishments, is similar to
the employment component used by BEA. Recent estimates of their experimental indexes of coincident (and of leading) indicators are released each
month by NBER.

the same period. (Comparable estimates of GNP
are not yet available for periods before 1959.)
Index D shows a cyclical peak in June 1990 and
an apparent cyclical low in March 1991. After
increasing during the second and third quarters
of 1991, this index declines to a January 1992 level
that is 0.3 percent higher than its March 1991
level. Since January, this index has increased.
The trend of index D is 2.83 percent at an annual
rate, close to the 2.99-percent trend of real GNP.
The overall pattern of index E is similar to that
of index D. Index E declines from a cyclical peak
in August 1990 to an apparent cyclical low in
March 1991. After increasing during the second
and third quarters of 1991, this index declines to a
January 1992 level that is 1.3 percent higher than
its March 1991 level. Since January, this index has
increased. The trend of index E is 3.25 percent at
an annual rate.
The percentage increase from March 1991 to
January 1992 is larger in index E than in index D
because of differences in the component weights
used in the two indexes. In index E, over 70
percent of the weight is assigned to production,
so it closely mirrors the pattern of production. In
index D, over 70 percent of the weight is assigned
to employment and income; these are the two
components that have the lowest standardization
factors, and they are the two that do not show a
clear uptrend after March 1991.
BEA will examine the properties of indexes D
and E and their performance in past business cycles. While that examination is being carried out,
a chart for these indexes will be included in the
"Business Cycle Indicators" section (C-pages) of
future issues of the SURVEY. S

Technical Description of Coincident Index Methodology
The methodological description that follows is derived primar^
ily from an NBER research memorandum by James H. Stock and
Mark W. Watson.1

i948-85> the Sj values are ^employment = 0.318, 5income = 0.481,
^production = 0.901, and 5saies = 1.0; these Sj values imply (see
equation 3) fa values of Employment = 0-786, Ar,Come = °'52O,
^production = 0.277, and /^ = 0.250. Thus, Y,j Pi = 1-833-

Current methodology

One implication of £V fa > i.o can be seen by substituting
the definition for TADJ into equation 4:

Let Yjt denote the value of the j>th component of the ici in
period t, and let yjt denote its monthly percentage change (sometimes called a symmetrical percent change), which is calculated
as

(1)

*-1 for * = 1, 2, 3, .... T.

yjt = 200

j,t-i

Define S,, the average absolute value of the monthly percentage
changes (also called the standardization factor) for each of the j
components, as

(2)
Now let 0j, the weight for each component, be defined as

(3)

ft

& = :r*-'

where J is the number of components.
Let ct, the monthly percentage change in ici in period t, be
defined as
TADJ,

where TADJ is a trend adjustment factor that is defined as the
difference between the trend in real GNP and the trend in an ici
computed without the TADJ term. That is, TADJ = ft—Y^fijVj =
^g°P ~~ ^' PjVjy where // is the mean (trend) in the final ct
values (set equal to the trend in real GNP, ^gnp)> and where //j
is the mean (trend) in component j. The TADJ term ensures that
the trend in the final index will equal that in real GNP.
The level of the coincident index in period tf, icit, is calculated
as

icit

^t = (p - X^w) +

(6)

j

Equation 7 is stated in the form usually used for standard timeseries analysis. A consequence of the sum of weights being greater
than i.o is that the methodology, in effect, uses different weights
for the trend and cyclical parts of the ici. For the currently published ici, the weight for the trend part is i.o, and the weight for
the cyclical part is 1.833.
A modified methodology
A modified methodology, suggested by Stock and Watson, uses
the same weights for the trend and cyclical parts and forces the
sum of these weights on component changes to equal i.o. The
modification is straightforward—simply replace equations 3 and 4
with the following two equations (8 and 9), in which wj denotes
the weight for each of the j components:

for t = 1,2,3,. ..,T.
-, where (as before) fa =

(8)

It should be noted that the component weights, fay used in
equations 3 and 4 are defined differently from the "weights" usually referred to in descriptions of composite index methodologies.
In those descriptions, "standardized" changes for each component
are usually calculated in two steps: Each yjt is divided by its standardization factor, Sj, and is then averaged using "weights" that
sum to i.o (the "weights" are 1/J if equal weight is assigned to
each component). Equations 3 and 4 are equivalent to these steps;
however, the terms have been rearranged, and standardization
factors have been incorporated into the definition of fa.
The definition of fa does not ensure that ]T\ fa = 1.0. For
the published ici, which uses parameters estimated using data for
i. Their research memorandum, "An anomaly in the trough of the Department
of Commerce Coincident Index," (May 14,1992) to the NBER Business Cycle Dating
Committee is available from the National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc., 1050
Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02138.




3

In a period of very slow or no growth in the components (as
in recent months), ]T\ fa yjt will be approximately zero, and ct
will be equal to the value of the term in parentheses. This term
will be zero only if the value of /z is equal to J^ fa^j- If the fa
values were scaled so that ]>r\ fa — i.o, then, given the present
components of the ici, the value of J^ fapj would be quite
close to the value of p, = ^gnp> and the value of fi — ]TV fa Hi =
TADJ would be approximately zero. However, for the currently
published ici, ^ .fa = 1.833, and TADJ = —0.186 percent. Thus,
the ici will fall at close to the trend rate of 0.186 percent per
month or 2.2 percent per year.
Regrouping terms in equation 6 into a mean (trend) part and
a cyclical part (defined as deviations from means) yields

The trend in the index, by design, will equal a weighted average
of the trends in the components. Given the components of the
ici, this trend in the ici is likely to be quite close to the trend
in real GNP. Thus, application of a trend adjustment factor would
either be unnecessary or would have a negligible effect on the
movements in the ici.

The International Investment Position of the
United States in 1991
By Russell B. Scholl, Raymond J. Mataloni, Jr., and Steve D. Bezirganian

Scholl wrote the
first part of the
article; Mataloni
and Bezirganian
wrote the second
part. Harlan W.
King contributed
to the preparation
of estimates other
than those of direct
investment with
assistance from
Christopher A.
Gohrband, Dena
A. Holland, and
Lori A. Trawinski.




HE NET international investment position
of the United States at yearend 1991 was
a negative $361.5 billion when direct investment
is valued at the current cost of replacing plant,
equipment, and other tangible assets, and it was
a negative $381.8 billion when direct investment
is valued at the current stock-market value of
owners' equity.
The negative position valued at current cost—
or replacement cost—increased $66.7 billion from
$294.8 billion at yearend 1990, and the negative position valued at market value—or current
stock prices—increased $109.8 billion from $272.0
billion.
The increase in both measures of the negative
U.S. net position was mainly due to the stronger
recovery in the stock and bond markets in the
United States than in those markets abroad in
1991, resulting in large price appreciation in the
market basis of foreign direct investment in the
United States and foreign-held U.S. securities.
Net capital inflows continued to decline and had
little impact on the net position; at $4.8 billion,

T

net capital inflows were well below their 1987 peak
of $167.6 billion. Although there was a strong rebound in foreign demand for U.S. securities, the
inflow was mostly offset by record U.S. purchases
of foreign stocks. Bank and other capital flows
for the year were subdued, in large part because
of the retrenchment of U.S. banks from international markets and weak bank credit demand at
home and abroad.
In current cost, the 1991 change in position was
mainly due to $58.6 billion in price appreciation,
mostly in foreign-holdings of U.S. securities, and
to $4.8 billion in net capital inflows, as foreign
assets in the United States increased more rapidly
than U.S. assets abroad. Exchange rate changes
and other changes combined were $3.3 billion,
mostly due to depreciation of U.S. assets payable
in European currencies that declined against the
dollar.
In market value, the change in the position
reflected price appreciation of $108.0 billion, capital inflows of $4.8 billion, and exchange rate and
other changes of $2.9 billion.

Methodological Improvements in the Position Estimates
Improvements have been made in definitions, estimating methodologies, and source data to parallel those made in the
international transactions accounts. For the international investment position, there were three changes:
(1) Claims on foreigners reported by U.S. nonbanking concerns were revised to substitute foreign-source data for
claims reported to the U.S. Treasury. Data from Canada and the United Kingdom on bank liabilities to U.S.
nonbanks were substituted for U.S. Treasury-reported data on U.S. nonbank claims on foreign banks. In addition,
data from the Federal Reserve Board on liabilities of foreign branches of U.S. banks in the Bahamas and British
West Indies (Cayman Islands) were substituted for Treasury-reported data. The substitutions were made from
1979 for the Canadian data, from 1983 for the British data, and from 1984 for the Federal Reserve data. The
substitutions were made because of the broader coverage of the new source data than the Treasury-reported data.
(2) Revisions to the position estimates of U.S. holdings of foreign securities reflect an improved methodology to
revalue foreign securities through the application of more country- and area-specific market-price and exchangerate indexes. Revisions also reflect improved estimates of bond redemptions. Revisions begin in 1980.
(3) Direct investment capital flows are now measured on a current-cost (replacement-cost) basis after adjustment to
reported depreciation, depletion, and expensed exploration and development costs; the current-cost adjustment,
which is the sum of these three items, is classified as a valuation adjustment. Also, capital gains and losses are
removed from the capital flow data and classified as a valuation adjustment. Revisions begin in 1982.
For a further discussion of these changes, see "U.S. International Transactions" elsewhere in this issue.

based capital requirements on U.S. banks and
poor U.S. loan performance in the weakened
economic environment.
U.S. banks' own claims on foreign banks increased $13.8 billion, to $435.4 billion; these
claims were down most of the year except late in
the second and fourth quarters, when interbank
demand for dollars and foreign currencies increased temporarily. Foreign-owned banks in the
United States increased their claims on foreign
banks in Western Europe and Caribbean banking centers. Claims on banks in Japan changed
little, as large repayments of credits throughout
most of the year were almost offset by a sudden
surge in new credits at yearend. A sustained large
drop in dollar claims on Japan for much of the
year, primarily by U.S. offices of Japanese banks,
represented further curtailment of international
business by Japanese banks, as they adjusted to

Bank claims
U.S. claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks
increased $4.6 billion, to $656.8 billion, in 1991,
reflecting only intermittent short-term lending
to the overseas interbank market (table i, line
23). The downturn in economic growth in a
number of industrial countries and further falloff
in cross-border merger-related financing substantially weakened international credit needs. In
addition, as an alternative to some bank financing, many international borrowers increased
issuance of international bonds as interest rates
dropped by substantial amounts. Moreover, bank
credit expansion was constrained by intensified
assessments of borrowers' credit worthiness due
to the December 1990 imposition of new risk-

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

• June 1992




U.S. banks' other dollar claims declined
sharply; claims on foreign public borrowers decreased $4.9 billion, to $37.2 billion, and claims
on other nonbank foreigners decreased $6.0 billion, to $41.8 billion. Claims on Latin American
borrowers were further reduced, as repayments,
loan sales, and small writeoffs exceeded new
lending. Several major Latin American debtor
countries made significant headway in reducing
their external indebtedness through further privatization sales of national enterprises, payment
of interest arrears to commercial banks, and economic reforms. However, U.S. bank regulators
required increased special transfer-risk reserves
for Brazil and Argentina, two countries that made
relatively little progress in reducing their external indebtedness. Since 1987, U.S. banks have
more than halved their claims on foreign public
borrowers. The decrease in claims on nonbank
foreigners mostly reflected reversals of repurchase
agreements by security firms in the United States
with investment funds in the Caribbean.
U.S. banks' customers' claims payable in dollars decreased $1.4 billion, to $66.0 billion, largely
reflecting a decline in overseas deposits by U.S.
money market mutual funds. U.S. banks reduced
their deposits with banks in Japan and cut back
on deposits in the United Kingdom, mostly in
the first quarter.
Bank-reported foreign currency claims increased $3.3 billion, to $76.4 billion, when interbank demand, particularly from Japan, surged
late in the year.
Foreign securities

U.S. holdings of foreign securities increased $64.1
billion, to $305.9 billion, in 1991; these holdings
were bolstered by record net purchases of foreign
stocks, substantial market price appreciation, and
strong demand for foreign bonds (table i, line
19). Price changes were significant for corporate stocks. Exchange rate gains were small and
offsetting.
U.S. holdings of foreign stocks increased $48.2
billion, to $158.3 billion; the large increase reflected record net purchases of $30.2 billion, stock
price appreciation of $16.9 billion, and modest
exchange rate appreciation of $1.2 billion, mostly
in Japanese stocks. U.S. demand for foreign
stocks had slowed during the uncertainties over
the crisis in the Persian Gulf in 1990, but demand rebounded strongly in early 1991 with the
successful outcome of the war and recovering
stock prices abroad. The net purchases in 1991—
nearly double the 1989 record—included $13.7

billion from Western Europe, where stock prices
advanced, on average, 12 percent, and $13.3 billion from Japan. Purchases were largest, at $7.8
billion, from the United Kingdom, where stock
prices appreciated nearly 15 percent; the increase
was partly offset by a 2-percent decline in the foreign exchange value of the British pound. Strong
purchases from France and Germany—at $1.4 billion each—were bolstered by French and German
stock-price gains of 18 percent and 8 percent,
respectively, and little exchange rate loss. U.S. demand for Japanese stocks, which had been flat for
2 years, rebounded with large purchases in 1991
despite a 6-percent decline in prices; exchange
rate gains offset some of the price decline. U.S.
investors were drawn to lower stock prices following a 38-percent decline in Japanese stock prices
in 1990.
U.S. holdings of foreign bonds increased $15.9
billion, to $147.6 billion; net purchases were $14.9
billion, price appreciation was $2.9 billion, and
exchange rate losses were $1.9 billion. Strong
foreign borrowing in the U.S. dollar bond market was partly offset by stepped-up redemptions
of dollar bonds. Foreign new issues of bonds
in the United States, at $21.0 billion, remained
strong; they were only $2.4 billion below their
record 1990 level despite the absence of large
Latin American issues for debt restructuring that
had been present in 1990. A 50-basis-point
decline in U.S. interest rates was a significant
factor in maintaining the attractiveness of the
U.S. bond market. New issues by Western Europeans more than doubled to $7.1 billion, with the
Netherlands accounting for one-half of the total.
Canadian issues increased $1.2 billion, to $7.8 billion, as Canadian long-term rates fell less than
comparable U.S. rates. Latin American issues
were $0.6 billion, following nearly $9.0 billion in
debt refinancing issues in 1990. U.S. holdings
of outstanding bonds were boosted $13.6 billion,
mostly in British gilt-edged securities; these securities became relatively attractive to U.S. investors
in the second half of the year, when interest
rates in the United States fell faster than those
in the United Kingdom and the British pound
appreciated against the dollar.
U.S. direct investment abroad and other private
assets
U.S. direct investment abroad valued on a
current-cost basis increased $31.7 billion, to $655.3
billion, in 1991; on a market-value basis, it increased $85.6 billion, to $802.0 billion (table i,
lines 17 and 18, respectively). Capital outflows

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

slowed to $27.1 billion on both bases: A sharp decrease in reinvested earnings to $17.9 billion and
a shift in intercompany debt flows to net inflows
of $2.4 billion were only partly offset by a step-up
in net equity outflows to $11.7 billion. Exchangerate adjustments reduced the current-cost basis
by $6.6 billion and had little effect on the marketvalue basis. Buoyant stock-market prices in most
foreign markets added $54.7 billion to the level
of direct investment on the market-value basis.
Price changes added $9.9 billion to the level on
the current-cost basis. (For details of 1991 direct
investment developments, see the section on U.S.
direct investment abroad later in this article.)
Claims on unaffiliated foreigners reported by
U.S. nonbanking concerns decreased $5.4 billion,
to $104.4 billion (table i, line 22), as U.S. firms
drew down Eurodollar deposits at banks in the
United Kingdom, Canada, and the Caribbean.
Declining interest rates on deposits and weak
growth in international banks' demand for funds
contributed to the decline. U.S. financial claims
decreased $6.9 billion, to $87.5 billion; this decrease was offset partly by growth in commercial
claims, largely trade-related, which increased $1.4
billion, to $16.9 billion.
U.S. official reserve assets and other U.S.
Government assets
U.S. official reserve assets decreased $15.4 billion,
to $159.2 billion, in 1991; the decrease mostly resulted from a drop in the market price of gold
and from sales of foreign currency assets (table i,
line 5). The drop in the market price of gold reduced the value of U.S. gold reserves $9.8 billion.
Sales of foreign currencies, mostly German marks
and Japanese yen, reduced currency holdings $6.3
billion. In the first quarter, sales of currencies
by U.S. monetary authorities were to support the
dollar in exchange markets; during the rest of
the year, sales were off-market transactions with
foreign monetary authorities to adjust U.S. holdings. U.S. holdings of special drawing rights and
of reserves at the International Monetary Fund
increased $0.3 billion, to $11.2 billion, and $0.4
billion, to $9.5 billion, respectively.
U.S. Government assets other than reserve assets decreased $3.5 billion, to $78.7 billion, as
repayments substantially exceeded disbursements
(table i, line 10). Foreign repayments included
a rescheduling of Polish and Egyptian debt and
debt forgiveness to developing countries in subSaharan Africa and Latin America. The decrease
in net long-term credits was partly offset by the
acquisition of short-term claims on Iraq from




private U.S. banks resulting from the payment of
guarantees on loans to Iraq.
Changes in Foreign Assets
in the United States
Foreign official assets

Foreign official assets in the United States increased $25.5 billion, to $396.6 billion, in 1991; the
increase included $18.4 billion in net acquisitions
of assets and $7.9 billion in price appreciation of U.S. Treasury bonds and U.S. corporate
stocks (table i, line 26). Non-opEC developing
countries, primarily Latin American and newly
industrialized countries in Asia, increased their
dollar assets by a substantial $32.3 billion, mostly
in U.S. Treasury bonds. Some Latin American countries bolstered their official reserves by
privatization sales of government-owned enterprises and capital inflows due to an improved
investment climate. The increases by newly in^
dustrialized countries in Asia were encouraged by
their continuing trade surpluses with the United
States. OPEC members sold $5.3 billion of dollar
assets, as several members made payments to the
United States associated with Operation Desert
Storm. Industrial countries sold $8.6 billion of
dollar assets.
Bank liabilities
U.S. bank-reported liabilities to private foreigners
and international financial institutions decreased
$13.3 billion, to $680.1 billion, in 1991 (table i,
line 42); a large decrease in the first half of
the year was offset partly in the second half as
foreign-owned banks in the United States resumed borrowing from the overseas interbank
market. A sharp cutback in foreign deposits
in the United States, despite the dollar appreciation in exchange markets in the first half of
the year, was encouraged by a substantial widening in interest-rate differentials, which favored
depositing abroad rather than in the United
States.
U.S. banks' liabilities to foreign banks, payable
in dollars, decreased $0.9 billion, to $457.3 billion; liabilities fell sharply in the first half of the
year and rebounded in the second half, when
foreign-owned banks borrowed overseas interbank funds. Foreign-owned banks curtailed the
use of funding from unaffiliated banks overseas in the first half, when U.S. credit demand
was weak, and they expanded issuance of time
deposits in the United States after U.S. bank

June 1992

• Jl

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

52 • June 1992




regulators removed reserve requirements on nonpersonal time deposits in December 1990. While
U.S. credit demand remained weak in the second
half, foreign-owned banks borrowed funds from
abroad to relend to the foreign interbank market
and to finance the rebooking of loans from offices
in the Caribbean to offices in the United States.
A substantial reduction in liabilities to banks in
Japan reflected the further scaling down of international activities by Japanese home offices with
their U.S. affiliates; Japanese banks suffered declining asset values, tightened capital standards,
and slowing economic growth at home.
U.S. banks' liabilities to other private foreigners
and international financial institutions decreased
$2.1 billion, to $82.0 billion, mostly to several
Latin American countries.
U.S. banks5 liabilities payable in foreign currencies increased $4.5 billion, to $74.9 billion, as
Japanese offices in the United States borrowed
yen from their home offices in Japan to meet a
surge in overseas interbank demand in the fourth
quarter.
Banks' custody liabilities decreased $14.8 billion, to $65.9 billion, following increases in the
past several years, when U.S. residents borrowed
from Eurodollar markets. The decrease reflected
both weak U.S. demand for bank credit and loans
rebooked to U.S. offices from Caribbean banking centers by foreign-owned banks in the United
States.
U. S. Treasury securities
U.S. Treasury securities held by private foreigners
and international financial institutions increased
$23.9 billion, to $154.7 billion, in 1991; $6.6 billion
of the increase was due to price appreciation (table i, line 37). International investment funds in
the Caribbean made unusually large investments
at the time of the Treasury's long-term bond auction in May. Western European and Japanese
purchases occurred early in the year, when the
long-term interest-rate differentials favored holdings of dollar assets and when investors' concerns
over the Persian Gulf war contributed to the
attractiveness of U.S. Treasury bonds. Other
Asian investors also added to holdings of Treasury bonds in the first half of the year. In the
second half, when the interest-rate differentials
turned against dollar assets and the dollar depreciated in exchange markets, Western Europeans
offset their earlier net purchases with net sales.
Canadians sold off relatively lower yielding U.S.
Treasury bonds.

Other U.S. securities
Foreign holdings of U.S. securities other than
U.S. Treasury securities increased $87.8 billion, to
$559.7 billion, in 1991 (table i, line 38). Large price
appreciation of U.S. corporate stocks and strong
foreign demand led to a 19-percent increase in
foreign portfolio holdings.
Foreign-held U.S. corporate and federally
sponsored agency bonds increased $36.3 billion,
to" $277.0 billion; $25.7 billion of the increase
was in net purchases, and $12.0 billion was in
market price appreciation. Foreign demand was
strong throughout most of the year, accommodating a high volume of new issues placed abroad
by U.S. borrowers. U.S. corporations increased
their overseas borrowing to $21.2 billion, largely
as industrial corporations and nonbank financial corporations raised substantial amounts by
straight fixed-rate bonds and Euro medium-term
notes. Foreign purchases of U.S. new issues were
partly offset by $4.0 billion in sales of outstanding corporate bonds. Foreign holdings of U.S.
federally sponsored agency bonds increased $11.6
billion, to $59.1 billion, reflecting a strong increase in net purchases, especially by Japanese
investors.
Foreign holdings of U.S. stocks increased $51.5
billion, to $282.6 billion; price appreciation was
$42.3 billion, and net purchases were $9.2 billion. Foreign demand surged in the first half of
the year with the quick conclusion of the Persian Gulf war, signs of U.S. economic recovery,
and the advance of the dollar in foreign exchange
markets; U.S. stock prices rebounded 12 percent
over the prior yearend level. Canadian purchases
increased especially strongly—to four times the
previous year's level—because of steady buying
throughout the year as U.S. stock prices outpaced
those in Canada. Japanese holdings were augmented by buying early in the year as Japanese
stock prices fell. Western European investors
shifted from net purchases in the first half of the
year to net sales in the second half.
Foreign direct investment in the United States
and other liabilities
Foreign direct investment in the United States
valued on a current-cost basis increased $20.5 billion, to $487.0 billion, in 1991; on a market-value
basis, it increased $117.5 billion, to $654.1 billion
(table i, lines 35 and 36, respectively). Capital
inflows slowed markedly on both bases to $11.5
billion; sharply reduced equity inflows of $27.9
billion and intercompany debt inflows of $3.6

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
billion were partly offset by continued large negative reinvested earnings associated with losses
on U.S. operations. Foreign capital inflows were
slowed by continued weakness in the U.S. economy, sharply reduced foreign demand for new
capital investments in the United States, and a
decline in the U.S. cost of funds. The level of
direct investment on the current-cost basis was
increased by a $9.5 billion valuation adjustment
for price changes of plant, equipment, and other
tangible assets; the level on the market-value bar
sis was augmented by a $103.8 billion gain due to
the rise in U.S. stock prices. (For details of 1991
direct investment developments, see the section
on foreign direct investment in the United States
later in this article.)
Liabilities reported by U.S. nonbanking concerns decreased $1.6 billion, to $43.8 billion,
primarily because of sharply reduced trade financing and a negative valuation adjustment
(table i, line 41). Trade payables decreased $1.5
billion, to $9.0 billion, in the first half of the
year; the decrease was partly offset by an increase
of $0.8 billion, to $16.1 billion, in advance receipts. Financial liabilities were nearly unchanged
at $18.7 billion; relatively low and declining U.S.
interest rates generally discouraged borrowing
abroad.

abroad valued on a current-cost basis rose $31.7
billion, to $655.3 billion; on a market-value basis,
it increased $85.6 billion, to $802.0 billion. The
foreign direct investment position in the United
States valued on a current-cost basis rose $20.5
billion, to $487.0 billion; on a market-value basis,
it increased $117.5 billion, to $654.1 billion.
This section of the article presents estimates of
the direct investment positions on a historicalcost basis because detailed estimates of the positions by country, by industry, and by account,
which are discussed here, are only available on
this basis. (For consistency, estimates of earnings and reinvested earnings used in analyzing
changes in the historical-cost positions also are
on this basis; detailed estimates of these items, as
well as of the positions, are not available on the
current-cost or market-value bases.)
As noted elsewhere in this issue, capital gains
and losses have been removed from direct investment income.1 This methodological change

does not affect the direct investment positions,
but it does affect the two major components of
the change in the position. Previously, capital
gains and losses had been included in reinvested
earnings and thus entered the position as capital
flows; now, they enter the positions as valuation
adjustments.2
U.S. direct investment abroad
The U.S. direct investment position abroad valued at historical cost was $450.2 billion at the end
of 1991 (table 6).3 The positions in Canada and
in the United Kingdom, at over $68 billion each,
were by far the largest. The position in Germany,
at $32.9 billion, was the third largest.
In 1991, the position increased $26.1 billion, or
6 percent. This modest increase contrasts sharply
with the double-digit rates of growth in the 2 preceding years. Both components of the change in
the position—valuation adjustments and capital
flqws—contributed to the slowdown. However,
a shift in valuation adjustments, from $17.6 billion in 1990 to —$2.1 billion in 1991, was most
important.4 Most of this shift was, in turn, accounted for by a shift in currency translation
adjustments from $13.7 billion to —$2.3 billion.5
The shift in translation adjustments largely reflected divergent movements in exchange rates:
In 1990, the dollar fell sharply in relation to
major European currencies, which boosted the
dollar value of affiliates' net assets denominated
in those currencies; in 1991, the dollar recovered
somewhat, which lowered these dollar values.
Capital outflows decreased $5.9 billion, to $28.2
billion, in 1991. The decrease reflected sluggish
2. For income on U.S. direct investment abroad, the capital gains and
losses referred to here do not include gains and losses resulting from currency
translation, which had previously been removed from such income. For
foreign direct investment in the United States, these gains and losses, known
as "currency translation adjustments," were not previously removed from
income because they could not be segregated from other capital gains and
losses; however, they are believed to have accounted for only a small portion
of total capital gains and losses of U.S. affiliates. In any event, both types of
capital gains and losses have now been removed from income. For details, see
"U.S. International Transactions, First Quarter 1989," SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS 70 (June 1990): 72.
3. The position is the book value of U.S. direct investors' equity in, and
net outstanding loans to, their foreign affiliates. A foreign affiliate is a foreign
business enterprise in which a single U.S. investor owns at least 10 percent
of the voting securities, or the equivalent.
4. Valuation adjustments to the historical-cost position are made to reconcile changes in the position, which is measured at book value, with capital
flows, which are recorded at transactions value.
5. Currency translation adjustments are made to reflect the effect of
changes in exchange rates on the dollar value of affiliates' foreign-currencydenominated net assets. The precise effects of currency fluctuations on
translation adjustments depend on the value and currency composition of
affiliates' assets and liabilities. In general, positive translation adjustments
are usually associated with depreciation of the dollar because affiliates' assets
denominated in foreign currencies tend to exceed their liabilities. Likewise, negative translation adjustments tend to be associated with dollar
appreciation.

worldwide economic conditions, which dampened the earnings of both U.S. parents and
foreign affiliates and limited the supply of capital
that parents could invest in affiliates. Most of the
decrease in capital outflows was accounted for by
a shift to net intercompany debt inflows, but a
decline in reinvested earnings also contributed;
an increase in equity outflows was a partial offset.
Net intercompany debt flows shifted to net inflows of $2.4 billion in 1991 from net outflows of
$5.8 billion in 1990. This shift to net intercompany debt inflows, which followed several years
of net outflows, was more than accounted for
by a shift to net inflows on U.S. parent receivables. (Net inflows on U.S. parent receivables
occur when affiliate repayments of existing loans
from their U.S. parents exceed the parents' new
loans to affiliates.) In 1991, as well as in 1990, a
sharp drop in the operating earnings of U.S. parents limited parents' ability to provide new loans
to their affiliates.
Reinvested earnings of foreign affiliates declined to $18.9 billion in 1991 from $20.9 billion in
1990. Affiliates reinvested about the same share
of their total earnings in 1991 as they did in 1990,
but their total earnings decreased. The lower
earnings reflected sluggish economic conditions
abroad, particularly in U.S. multinationals' most
important foreign markets1—Europe and Canada.
Net equity capital outflows increased to $11.7
billion in 1991 from $7.5 billion in 1990; in 1989,
in contrast, there were net inflows of $1.8 billion. The 2-year growth in equity capital outflows
primarily reflected diminishing sales of equity,
rather than rising equity investments, in foreign
affiliates. Equity decreases (primarily sales) fell
sharply, from $21.7 billion in 1989 to $10.0 billion
in 1991, while equity increases (investments) rose
only slightly, from $20.0 billion to $21.7 billion.
Change in the position by account.—The $26.1
billion increase in the U.S. direct investment position abroad consisted of capital outflows of
$28.2 billion and valuation adjustments of —$2.1
billion. Within capital outflows, reinvested earnings of $18.9 billion and equity outflows of $11.7
billion were partly offset by intercompany debt
inflows of $2.4 billion.6 Within valuation adjustments, translation adjustments of —$2.3 billion
and "other" valuation adjustments of -$2.2 billion were partly offset by capital gains of $2.4
billion.
6. For data on capital flows by account, see table 5 in "U.S. International
Transactions" on page 100 of this issue.

$6 • June 1992




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Change in position accounts by industry.—
Reinvested earnings were largest in manufacturing, at $7.5 billion. Within manufacturing, the
chemical industry accounted for most of the total.
The reinvested earnings of affiliates in "finance
(except banking), insurance, and real estate,"
were second largest, at $7.4 billion.
Equity capital outflows were largest, at $4.2 billion, in finance (except banking), insurance, and
real estate. These outflows were mainly capital
contributions to British affiliates and to Bermudan affiliates serving as financial conduits for the
global operations of their U.S. parent companies.
Equity capital outflows in manufacturing,
"other industries," and petroleum were each between $1 billion and $2 billion. In manufacturing,
most of the outflows were accounted for by three
large transactions: A U.S. parent swapped equity
capital for a large loan that it had extended to its
Canadian affiliate (thus, this transaction had no
net effect on the position), and two other U.S.
parents acquired controlling stakes in existing
European manufacturing companies.
In "other industries," most of the equity outflows were in the communications industry. In
communications, outflows were largely related to
the acquisition or establishment of new affiliates; in this industry, unlike in other industries,
acquisitions and establishments of new affiliates increased in 1991. U.S. parents in the
communications industry were encouraged to invest abroad by rising domestic profits, which
provided a low-cost source of funds, whereas
parents in other industries generally scaled back
their investments because of capital constraints.
In addition, the domestic business activities
of U.S. communications companies—specifically,
U.S. regional telephone companies—have been
legally constrained since their creation in 1984,
while overseas investment opportunities have
been created by the privatization of some foreign
Government-owned telephone companies.
In petroleum, equity capital outflows of $1.7
billion consisted mainly of capital contributions.
These investments, which occurred in both the
upstream and downstream operations of the industry, reflected two factors: U.S. oil companies'
recent tendency to concentrate their exploration
and development efforts overseas, where accessible oil and gas deposits are generally larger and
more profitable, and a robust demand for gasoline and other petroleum products in the rapidly
growing Pacific Rim economies.
Intercompany debt inflows occurred in both
U.S. parent receivables from and payables to their

foreign affiliates. In receivables, repayments of
loans to U.S. parents by affiliates in finance (except banking), insurance, and real estate more
than accounted for the $1.1 billion in inflows. In
payables, loans from British affiliates in the petroleum industry to their U.S. parents more than
accounted for the $1.3 billion in inflows.
Change in the position by country.—The $26.1
billion increase in the U.S. direct investment
position in 1991 was spread among all major
geographic areas. The largest increases were
in Europe, in "Latin America and Other Western Hemisphere," and in the Asia and Pacific
countries (including Australia, Japan, and New
Zealand).
In Europe, the position increased $13.4 billion,
or 6 percent, to $224.6 billion. Growth occurred
in nearly all of the European Communities (12)
countries, but it was largest in Germany, the
Netherlands, and France. In Germany, the position increased $5.7 billion, mainly through intercompany debt outflows and reinvested earnings.
Earnings, and reinvested earnings, of German affiliates probably were boosted by the upturn in
German consumer spending that followed the reunification. In France and the Netherlands, the
increases in the position were each less than onethird as large as that in Germany. In France, the
increase reflected intercompany debt outflows; in
the Netherlands, it reflected reinvested earnings.
In "Latin America and Other Western Hemisphere," the position increased $5.7 billion, or
8 percent, to $77.3 billion. The increase was
more than accounted for by a $6.4 billion increase in reinvested earnings of affiliates and by
a $3.2 billion increase in equity capital outflows.
Nearly all of the reinvested earnings occurred
in Panama and the Caribbean and in Mexico.
In Panama and the Caribbean, the reinvested
earnings probably consisted largely of investment
income, because a common activity of affiliates in those countries is to invest funds. In
Mexico, the large reinvested earnings reflected
continued growth in the total earnings of Mexican affiliates since the mid-i98o's: After zero
net earnings during 1982-86, their earnings rose
each year, reaching $2.3 billion in 1991. The
turnaround in Mexican affiliates' earnings has
corresponded with, and probably is related to,
the wide-ranging economic liberalizations instituted in that country. The increase in equity
capital outflows to "Latin America and Other
Western Hemisphere" reflected a large capital
contribution to a Bermudan finance affiliate and

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
the acquisition of minority interests in previously
Government-owned telephone companies.
In the Asia and Pacific countries, the position increased $4.7 billion, or 8 percent, to $66.5
billion. The increase was primarily in Japan
and "Other Asia and Pacific." In Japan, the
position was bolstered by positive valuation adjustments related to dollar depreciation against
the yen. In "Other Asia and Pacific," the position increased at double-digit rates in both
manufacturing and petroleum, as U.S. parent^
expanded their presence in the region. Within
manufacturing, producers of computer compo-

June 1992 • 57

nents accounted for most of the increase in the
position. Within petroleum, U.S. oil companies
increased their investments in both upstream and
downstream operations.
Foreign direct investment in the United States
The foreign direct investment position in the
United States valued at historical cost was $407.6
billion at the end of 1991 (table 7) 7 The United
7. The position is the book value of foreign direct investors' equity in,
and net outstanding loans to, their U.S. affiliates. A U.S. affiliate is a U.S.
business enterprise in which a single foreign direct investor owns at least 10
percent of the voting securities, or the equivalent.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Kingdom had the largest position, at $106.1 billion; Japan had the second largest position, at
$86.7 billion; and the Netherlands had the third
largest, at $63.8 billion.
In 1991, the position increased $10.9 billion, or 3
percent, down from an 8-percent increase in 1990.
The slowdown was more than accounted for by a
substantial decline in capital inflows—from $46.1
billion to $12.6 billion. Valuation adjustments
(see footnote 4) were -$1.7 billion, compared
with -$18.3 billion in 1990.
The decline in capital inflows was almost entirely due to a sharp drop in equity inflows, which
had increased sharply in recent years. Equity
inflows dropped $29.1 billion in 1991, to $27.9 billion, the lowest level since 1986. The drop in
equity inflows reflected several factors, including continued economic weakness in the United
States, which made new investments and expansions less attractive, and economic weakness and
bank restructuring in several industrialized countries, which reduced the availability of funds for
investment. Total outlays by foreign investors
to acquire or establish U.S. businesses—including
outlays financed by equity capital inflows—were
down considerably in 1991.8
By industry, the decreases in equity capital inflows were widespread. The largest decreases
were in manufacturing (down $10.7 billion, to
$11.8 billion), services (down $5.6 billion, to $2.0
billion), and wholesale trade (down $4.7 billion,
to $2.2 billion).
Decreases in the other two major components
of capital inflows were much smaller than the
decrease in equity capital inflows. Intercompany
debt inflows decreased $0.8 billion, to $3.6 billion, as increases in affiliates' payables (inflows)
decreased by a larger amount than did increases
in affiliates' receivables (outflows). Reinvested
earnings decreased $3.6 billion, to -$18.9 billion.
The decrease was more than accounted for by
8. For a discussion of these and other factors affecting new foreign direct investment in the United States, see "U.S. Business Enterprises Acquired
or Established by Foreign Direct Investors in 1991," SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS 72 (May 1992): 69—79. Preliminary data from BEA'S survey of new
foreign direct investments, summarized in that article, indicate that total outlays to establish or acquire U.S. businesses were $22.6 billion in 1991, down
from $65.9 billion in 1990. These figures differ from those on changes in the
foreign direct investment position presented here, largely because they cover
only transactions involving the acquisition or establishment of new U.S. affiliates and because they include financing other than that from the foreign
parent, such as local borrowing by existing U.S. affiliates. In contrast, changes
in the position reflect transactions of existing, as well as new, U.S. affiliates
(but only if the transactions are with the foreign parent or other members
of the foreign parent group) and valuation adjustments.
However, the two types of data are related. Any outlays to acquire or
establish U.S. businesses that are funded by foreign parents (or other members
of the foreign parent group) are part of capital inflows, a component of the
change in the position. Data on the sources of funding of outlays to acquire
or establish new U.S. affiliates indicate that foreign parent groups provided
$13.1 billion in outlays in 1991, down from $32.5 billion in 1990.

an increase in losses from — $6.0 billion in 1990
to -$11.3 billion in 1991; distributed earnings fell
from $9.3 billion to $7.6 billion.
Change in the position by account.—The $10.9
billion increase in the foreign direct investment
position in 1991 was more than accounted for by
capital inflows of $12.6 billion. Within capital
inflows, equity inflows of $27.9 billion and intercompany debt inflows of $3.6 billion were partly
offset by reinvested earnings of —$18.9 billion.
Valuation adjustments were -$1.7 billion.
Change in position accounts by industry.—Equity
capital inflows were particularly large in manufacturing, real estate, and banking. In manufacturing, most of the inflows were in "other manufacturing," in chemicals and allied products, and
in machinery. In "other manufacturing," two
very large inflows resulted from the acquisition
of a U.S. company by a French firm and from
a capital contribution to a rubber products affiliate by its Japanese parent. In chemicals, there
were several sizable inflows from European parents; the largest inflow involved the acquisition
of a chemical company by a German firm. In
machinery, several European and Japanese parents made sizable capital contributions to their
U.S. computer affiliates, and a Japanese company
acquired an electrical machinery manufacturer.
In real estate, most of the equity capital inflows
were to affiliates of Japanese parents. Some of
the larger of these flows involved conversions of
debt to equity, which had no effect on the position because such inflows are offset by outflows
on intercompany debt. In banking, there were
numerous small capital contributions to affiliates
with parents located in various countries; a few of
the larger of these contributions were to affiliates
of British parents.
Intercompany debt inflows were largest in insurance, where several large inflows from the
Netherlands and France were related to recent
acquisitions. Partly offsetting the large inflows
in insurance were large outflows in petroleum,
most of which were to the United Kingdom and
represented the repayment of debt.
Reinvested earnings were negative in most industries, largely reflecting losses associated with
the U.S. economic downturn. Negative reinvested earnings were largest in manufacturing
and real estate. In manufacturing, they were
accounted for by "other manufacturing" and machinery. In both manufacturing and real estate,
they were fairly widespread by country.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Change in the position by country.—In 1991, parents in Japan, France, and the United Kingdom
had the largest increases in position. Parents in
the Netherlands Antilles had the largest decrease
in position.
The position of Japanese parents increased $4.9
billion, to $86.7 billion. By industry, manufacturing and wholesale trade accounted for much
of the increase. In manufacturing, a large increase in "other manufacturing" was more than
accounted for by a very large capital contribution
to a rubber products affiliate. In wholesale trade,
Japanese parents made several sizable capital
contributions to their affiliates.
The position of French parents increased $4.1
billion, to $22.7 billion. By industry, the increase
was concentrated in finance (except banking),
in insurance, and in manufacturing. In finance
(except banking), the increase was more than accounted for by the repayment of loans that were
previously extended by U.S. affiliates to their foreign parent groups. In insurance, the increase




was due to a large loan from a French parent to a
new affiliate. In manufacturing, much of the increase was in "other manufacturing," which had
an equity inflow associated with the acquisition
of a large U.S. company.
The position of British parents increased $3.3
billion, to $106.1 billion. The largest increases
were in manufacturing and services. In manufacturing, much of the increase was in chemicals
and reflected new loans to U.S. affiliates; in services, the increase also reflected new loans to
affiliates. These increases were partly offset by
decreases in petroleum and finance (except banking). In petroleum, a few U.S. affiliates repaid
intercompany loans. In finance (except banking), a few U.S affiliates made sizable loans, and
another affiliate had a large negative valuation
adjustment.
The position of Netherlands Antilles parents
declined $4.6 billion, to $7.9 billion. By industry,
services and manufacturing accounted for most
of the decrease. S

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

U.S. International Transactions
• First Quarter 1992
• Revised Estimates for 1976-91
By Howard Murad

A decrease in the merchandise trade deficit and
an increase in the surpluses on services and on
investment income all contributed to the decline.
An increase in unilateral transfers was a partial
offset.
In the capital account, net recorded private
capital transactions shifted to inflows of $1.5 billion in the first quarter from outflows of $8.8
billion in the fourth. U.S. private assets abroad
decreased $1.7 billion, in contrast to an increase
of $44.9 billion. Most of the change was due to a
shift in U.S. claims reported by U.S. banks, which
decreased $21.7 billion after an increase of $23.2
billion. Net U.S. purchases of foreign securities
were $8.7 billion, compared with $11.3 billion.
Foreign private assets in the United States decreased $0.3 billion in the first quarter, in contrast
to an increase of $36.1 billion in the fourth. Most
of the change was due to a shift in U.S. liabilities reported by U.S. banks, which decreased $4.8
billion after an increase of $23.5 billion.

The estimates presented in this article incorporate a
number of major improvements, including changes in
definitions, estimating methodologies, and new source
data. Several of these changes were initiated as part
of the "1992 Economic Statistics Initiative" to improve
the quality of statistics. Others respond to suggestions
of recent International Monetary Fund and National
Academy of Sciences working groups. The first part
of the article presents preliminary estimates for the
first quarter of 1992, and the second part describes
the methodological improvements and revisions in the
estimates for 1976-91.

First Quarter 1992
The U.S. current-account deficit was $5.3 billion
in the first quarter of 1992, down from $7.2 billion
(revised) in the fourth quarter of 1991 (table A).1

supported by growing evidence of economic recovery in the United States, which was in contrast
to moderating performance in major overseas
economies. A narrowing of interest-rate differentials also supported the dollar (chart 2);
these differentials had strongly favored the holding of foreign-currency-denominated assets in
previous quarters and had led to a depreciation
of the dollar in every month from August to

tracted foreign investors to long-term U.S. assets,
especially corporate bonds. Finally, continuing
political uncertainty in Eastern Europe and in the
Commonwealth of Independent States2 may have
encouraged movement into dollar assets.
Against the currencies in the European Monetary System, the dollar appreciated 6 percent
from the end of December 1991 to the end of
March 1992. It appreciated i percent in January,
2 percent in February, and 3 percent in March.
This appreciation followed depreciation of 4 percent in November and in December of 1991.
Appreciation occurred against a background of
moderating economic activity in Europe, particularly in Germany, where there were also concerns about wage inflation and increased credit
demands.
The dollar appreciated 4 percent against the

U.S.-Japan trade imbalance led traders to anticipate that both countries would accept further
depreciation of the dollar. However, the dollar
appreciated 2 percent in February and 4 percent in March, when it became evident that there
would be no concerted intervention in exchange
markets to prevent appreciation of the dollar
against the yen.
The U.S. dollar appreciated 4 percent against
the Canadian dollar from the end of December
to the end of March. It increased in every month
of the quarter. Interest-rate differentials favoring the Canadian dollar were sharply reduced,
and continued economic weakness in Canada
contributed to the appreciation.
Against the currencies of the newly industrialized countries in the Far East, the U.S. dollar
appreciated 2 percent against the South Korean
won from the end of December to the end of
March, and it appreciated i percent against the
Singapore dollar. In contrast, the U.S. dollar depreciated i percent against the Taiwan dollar and
was unchanged against the Hong Kong dollar.
Current account
Merchandise trade.—The merchandise trade
deficit decreased to $17.5 billion in the first quarter from $18.5 billion in the fourth. The decrease
in the deficit was due mainly to a large decrease
in petroleum imports, as average prices decreased
sharply.
Exports.—Exports were unchanged at $107.8 billion in the first quarter of 1992; volume, measured
in constant (1987) dollars, was also unchanged
(table C). Current-dollar exports were 7 percent
higher in the first quarter of 1992 than in the
first quarter of 1991, but this rate of increase
represents a deceleration from growth rates in
earlier periods (chart 3). At $97.0 billion, nonagricultural exports were unchanged in the first
quarter from the fourth quarter of 1991; volume, measured in constant (1987) dollars, also
was unchanged. Most commodity categories
changed little. By area, increases in exports to
Western Europe, Mexico, and Canada were offset by decreases in exports to Australia, Latin
America (except Mexico) and "Other Western
Hemisphere/' and China. Exports to Japan and
to the newly industrialized countries in the Far
East were unchanged. Nearly all of the increase
to Western Europe was in civilian aircraft, engines, and parts, and the increases to both Mexico
and Canada were in automotive products, mostly
parts to U.S. plants in both countries.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Agricultural exports were unchanged at $10.8
billion in the first quarter of 1992; volume increased i percent. Increases in exports of wheat
and tobacco were offset by decreases in cotton,
corn, and soybeans. By area, increases in exports
to the Commonwealth of Independent States,
Western Europe, and Canada were offset by decreases to Mexico and the newly industrialized
countries in the Far East. The increase to the
Commonwealth of Independent States resulted
primarily from U.S. Government credit guarantees, which continue to be made available, and
to the sharp decline in agricultural production
there.

flected decreases in imports from Germany and
South Korea; imports from Canada and Mexico
increased, and imports from Japan were unchanged. Domestic sales of passenger cars in the
first quarter increased i percent, with sales increasing 3 percent for domestic nameplates and
i percent for Japanese transplants and Japanese
imports. Japanese cars, both transplants and imports, accounted for 34 percent of total sales,
down for the second consecutive quarter from the
peak of 37 percent in the third quarter of 1991,
Petroleum imports decreased $1.8 billion, or
15 percent, to $10.4 billion in the first quarter.
The decrease was more than accounted for by
a sharp drop—to $15.28 from $18.04—in the average price per barrel. The average number of
barrels imported daily increased slightly to 7.42
million from 7.40 million. Prices were affected
by a weakening in demand due to mild worldwide weather conditions and a relatively weak
worldwide economic recovery. In addition, OPEC
production was at its highest level in more than"
a decade, while supplies from other sources were

Imports.—Imports decreased $1.1 billion, or i
percent, to $125.3 billion in the first quarter of
1992; volume, measured in constant (1987) dollars, decreased less than i percent (table C). The
current-dollar decrease was more than accounted
for by petroleum imports; nonpetroleum imports
increased. Current-dollar imports were 5 percent
higher in the first quarter of 1992 than in the first
quarter of 1991, a sharp contrast to the recessioninduced 3-percent decline of the previous year
(chart 3).
Nonpetroleum imports increased $0.7 billion,
or i percent, to $114.9 billion in the first quarter of 1992; volume decreased less than i percent.
Imports of capital goods and of nonpetroleum
industrial supplies and materials increased. The
increase in capital goods was mostly in computers, peripherals, and parts and in completed
civilian aircraft, and the increase in industrial
supplies and materials was mostly in chemicals.
Partly offsetting these increases, imports of both
consumer goods and of automotive products decreased. Despite the decrease, there has been
a step-up in consumer goods imports since the
third quarter of 1991, mainly reflecting the increase in personal consumption expenditures for
goods excluding motor vehicles and parts. The
decrease in imports of automotive products re-

nearly unchanged. OPEC'S share of world crude
oil production reached a record 41 percent in the
first quarter of 1992.
Balances by area.—The deficit with the industrial countries decreased to $8.1 billion in the first
quarter from $8.8 billion in the fourth. An increase in the surplus with Western Europe and
a decrease in the deficit with Japan were partly
offset by an increase in the deficit with Canada.
The deficit with members of OPEC decreased
to $1.9 billion from $2.9 billion, as a decrease in
petroleum imports more than offset a decrease in
exports.
The deficit with all other countries increased
to $7.4 billion from $6.9 billion. Decreases in
the surpluses with Eastern Europe and with Latin
America (except Mexico) and "Other Western
Hemisphere" were partly offset by a decrease in
the deficit with the newly industrialized countries
in the Far East and an increase in the surplus
,with Mexico.
Service transactions.—The surplus on services increased to $14.2 billion in the first quarter from
$13.1 billion in the fourth. Receipts increased $1.1
billion, to $44.5 billion, and payments increased
$0.1 billion, to $30.3 billion.
Travel receipts increased to $13.6 billion from
$13.2 billion; an increase in overseas visitors was
partly offset by decreases in visitors from Canada
and Mexico. Travel payments increased to $10.7
billion from $10.0 billion; an increase in U.S.
travelers overseas and to Canada was partly offset by a decrease in U.S. travelers to Mexico.
Passenger fare receipts decreased to $4.2 billion
from $4.3 billion, while passenger fare payments
increased to $2.9 billion from $2.8 billion.
Other transportation receipts increased to $6.0
billion from $6.1 billion. The decrease was more
than accounted for by port expenditures and
freight receipts and resulted mainly from decreased tonnage carried by foreign-flag vessels.
Air freight receipts increased slightly. Other
transportation payments decreased to $5.7 billion
from $5.8 billion. Freight payments, both ocean
and air, decreased.
Receipts from other private services increased
to $12.8 billion from $11.9 billion. Payments for
other private services decreased to $6.2 billion
from $6.5 billion.
Transfers under U.S. military agency sales contracts increased to $3.1 billion from $3.0 billion.
U.S. direct defense expenditures abroad decreased
to $3.4 billion from $3.6 billion, reflecting the
reduction in U.S. forces stationed abroad.

Investment income.—The surplus on investment
income increased to $4.7 billion in the first quarter from $2.5 billion in the fourth. Payments of
income on foreign assets in the United States decreased slightly, while receipts of income on U.S.
assets abroad increased slightly.
Direct investment income.—Receipts of income on
U.S. direct investment abroad increased to $13.3
billion in the first quarter from $11.3 billion in
the fourth. Operating earnings increased to $12.9
billion from $11.0 billion. The increase was in
earnings of manufacturing and of banking and
finance affiliates; earnings of petroleum affiliates
decreased, partly reflecting the sharp drop in oil
prices.
Income on foreign direct investment in the
United States was a loss of $0.5 billion in the first
quarter, compared with a loss of $0.8 billion in
the fourth. The reduction in losses was more
than accounted for by a reduction in operating
losses of manufacturing affiliates and by a shift to
operating profits, from losses, for petroleum affiliates. Losses increased for affiliates in banking,
finance, and wholesale trade.
Portfolio investment income.—Receipts of income
on other private investment abroad decreased to
$14.1 billion in the first quarter from $15.8 billion in the fourth. Most of the decrease was in
bank income receipts, reflecting sharp declines
in short-term interest rates. U.S. Government
income receipts decreased slightly to $1.5 billion.
Payments of income on other private investment in the United States decreased to $15.1
billion from $17.5 billion. The decrease was due
to sharply lower short-term interest rates, which
led to a drop in bank income payments, and to a
decrease in U.S. bonds held by foreigners, which
led to a decrease in bond payments. At $9.6
billion, U.S. Government income payments were
unchanged.
Unilateral transfers.—Unilateral transfers were
net payments of $6.7 billion in the first quarter,
compared with net payments of $4.3 billion in the
fourth. The increase in net payments was more
than accounted for by the winding down of cash
contributions received from coalition partners in
Operation Desert Storm. These contributions
decreased to $0.5 billion from $3.6 billion.
Capital account
Net recorded capital inflows were $21.0 billion in
the first quarter, up from inflows of $4.8 billion in

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

the fourth. Both U.S. assets abroad and foreign
assets in the United States recorded net inflows.
L7.S. assets abroad.—U.S. assets abroad shifted to
inflows of $0.6 billion in the first quarter from
outflows of $44.7 billion in the fourth. A large
shift in bank claims accounted for nearly all of
the change.
U.S. official reserve assets.—U.S. official reserve
assets increased $1.1 billion in the first quarter, in
contrast to a decrease of $1.2 billion in the fourth.
Claims reported by banks.—U.S. claims on foreigners reported by U.S. banks decreased $21.7
billion in the first quarter, in contrast to an increase of $23.2 billion in the fourth. The decrease
reflected a reversal from yearend interbank lending in dollars and foreign currencies as well as
sluggish demand for bank credit; the sluggishness
was due partly to a further slowing in economic
activity abroad and partly to the attractiveness of
long-term international bonds, rather than bank
borrowing, as a source of funds.
Bank claims payable in dollars decreased $1.3
billion, in contrast to an increase of $14.0 billion. The decrease was more than accounted
for by a decrease in foreign-owned banks' claims
both on their own foreign offices and on unaffiliated foreign banks, mostly reflecting decreases
in claims on Japanese and British banks. Most
of the decrease occurred in January as a result
of repayment of yearend lending; these repayments were followed by additional reductions of
claims of Japanese banks in the United States on
their home offices. Partly offsetting these reductions, U.S.-owned banks' claims on their own
foreign offices in Western Europe and Caribbean
banking centers increased in March to replenish
funds withdrawn from those offices by foreign
banks. Claims on foreign nonbank borrowers
increased $1.8 billion, in contrast to a decrease
of $3.0 billion. The increase was the result of
lending in January and February that reflected
mostly repurchase arrangements and repayments
of international mutual funds based in Bermuda.
Banks' own claims payable in foreign currencies decreased $14.8 billion, in contrast to an
increase of $9.6 billion. Most of the decrease
was in claims on Japan, as Japanese banks in the
United States reduced their yen claims on home
offices. In part, the shift may have been related
to the close of the Japanese fiscal year in March.
The combined reductions in dollar and yen
claims on banks in Japan were possibly due to
curtailment of international business, as banks




in Japan suffered sharp asset losses resulting
from steep first-quarter declines in Japanese stock
prices.
Banks' domestic customers' claims decreased
$5.7 billion, compared with a decrease of $0.4
billion. Most of the first-quarter decrease was in
negotiable instruments in Japan and the United
Kingdom. This decrease was partly offset by an
increase in deposit claims on banks in the United
Kingdom and the Caribbean.
Foreign securities.—Net U.S. purchases of foreign
securities were $8.7 billion in the first quarter,
down from $11.3 billion in the fourth. The decline
was more than accounted for by a decrease in
purchases of foreign bonds.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign bonds were $1.2
billion in the first quarter, compared with $5.6
billion in the fourth. New issues in the United
States declined to $4.7 billion from $6.2 billion.
A rise in U.S. long-term interest rates and a
decrease in foreign rates throughout the quarter reduced the interest-rate differentials favoring
borrowing in the United States. The decrease
in U.S. purchases of foreign bonds was widespread by area except for bonds from Canada,
where interest-rate differentials continued to favor borrowing in the U.S. market. In addition,
trading in outstanding bonds reversed to net sales
of $2.0 billion from net purchases of $2.8 billion. U.S. demand for foreign debt instruments
weakened as U.S. interest rates increased; with
major stock markets recovering, except in Japan,
and with the U.S. dollar appreciating, investors
shifted to sales of outstanding bonds as foreign
interest rates declined.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign stocks increased
to $7.5 billion from $5.7 billion. Purchases from
Latin America and the Far East except Japan
increased sharply, as U.S. investors stepped up
their purchases of foreign equities, particularly
as bond yields declined. Purchases from Japan
decreased $1.0 billion, largely reflecting the 21percent decrease in Japanese stock prices during
the quarter.
Direct investment.—Net outflows for U.S. direct
investment abroad were $11.3 billion in the first
quarter, compared with $11.7 billion in the fourth.
Decreases in equity capital outflows and in reinvested earnings were nearly offset by an increase
in intercompany debt outflows. Equity capital outflows decreased to $3.3 billion from $6.4
billion, reflecting decreases in outflows to the
United Kingdom and Latin America following
acquisitions in the fourth quarter. Reinvested

Other U.S. securities.-—Net foreign purchases of
U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securities
were $4.5 billion in the first quarter, compared
with $4.8 billion in the fourth.
Net foreign sales of U.S. stocks were $3.2 billion, up from $1.8 billion; the increase was mostly
due to liquidation of U.S. holdings by Japanese
investors. Net selling was strong in January, as
U.S. stock prices reached a plateau and foreign
markets began to advance.
Net foreign purchases of U.S. bonds were $7.6
billion, compared with $6.6 billion. New issues
of bonds sold abroad by U.S. corporations remained strong, accounting for two-thirds of the
step-up in net foreign purchases. Volume was
strongest in February, when interest-rate differentials widened further in favor of placements in
the Euromarket, where rates fell to their lowest
levels in several years.
Direct investment.—Net inflows for foreign direct investment in the United States were $0.7
billion in the first quarter, compared with $5.7
billion in the fourth. A shift to intercompany
debt outflows and a decrease in equity capital
inflows more than offset a reduction in reinvested earnings. Equity capital inflows decreased
to $5.0 billion from $7.6 billion, mostly reflecting reduced inflows from Western Europe and
Japan. Intercompany debt transactions shifted to
outflows of $0.1 billion from inflows of $3.5 billion. The shift was mainly in Western Europe
and reflected increased outflows on U.S. affiliates' receivables. Reinvested earnings were —$4.3
billion, compared with —$5.4 billion.
Revised Estimates, 1976-91
As is customary each June, the estimates of U.S.
international transactions have been revised to
incorporate definitional, conceptual, and statistical changes. This year, a number of substantial
changes result in revisions that extend back 10
years or more. Several of these changes involve
improvements in source data and methodologies that reflect the "1992 Economic Statistics
Initiative."3
Major definitional and conceptual changes introduced in this year's revisions include the
following: The adjustment of direct investment
income to a current-cost (replacement-cost) basis
and to remove capital gains and losses; and the
restatement of various categories of services from

Statistics Initiative," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 71 (March 1992): 4.




a net to a gross basis so as to better highlight
the total international flow of resources. Many
of these changes increase the consistency between
the U.S. national and international accounts and
between the U.S. international accounts and the
international accounts of other nations. The
changes are directly responsive to efforts by the
United Nations and the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) to harmonize statistical standards
around the world.
Major statistical changes introduced in this
year's revisions include the expanded use of
data provided by other countries, such as source
data on travel from Mexico and Canada and
source data on capital stocks and flows from
the United Kingdom and Canada. With the
increasing integration of world markets, it has become increasingly clear that such data exchanges
between countries can significantly improve statistical quality and reduce respondent burden.
Some of these source data improvements are in
response to recommendations by an IMF working
group on ways to improve U.S. capital flow data.
Other statistical changes include improved methods for estimating personal remittances by the
foreign-born population in the United States and
improved methods for estimating income yields
on U.S. and foreign assets.

U.S. international transactions for 1960-91 and
revised quarterly estimates (both unadjusted and
adjusted for seasonal variation) for 1978-91. Table 2 presents revised annual merchandise trade
estimates for 1978-91 and revised quarterly estimates for 1990-91. Tables 3-10 present revised
account and area detail for annual estimates for
1989-91 and revised quarterly estimates for 199091. The presentation of direct investment in
table 5 is changed to highlight the new treatment
of direct investment income and to assist data
users who are familiar with direct investment operations in contexts other than in a balance of
payments framework.
Quarterly seasonally adjusted series are revised
to incorporate updated seasonal adjustment factors. The seasonal factors are recomputed by
extending through 1991 the period used to derive
them. For series that are redefined, seasonal factors are reestimated from the point at which the
change was introduced.

the average annual growth rate was revised up 0.8
percentage point to 4.2 percent. The upward revision was largely due to the incorporation of (i)
improved source data and methodologies for estimating income on portfolio investments abroad,
(2) new estimates of income on banks' foreigncurrency-denominated assets, and (3) new source
data for estimating income on U.S. nonbanking
concerns claims on foreign banks. The change to
present direct investment income before deduction on nonresident taxes also contributed to the
revision of the growth rate.
For services, the average annual growth rate
was revised up 0.6 percentage point to 11.0 percent. The revision was mainly in travel, passenger
fares, and other private services. In travel, the revision was due to improved and updated source
data from Statistics Canada and the Bank of
Mexico; in passenger fares, to improved survey
data on inter-airline passenger settlements; and
in other private services, to the incorporation of
the results from a benchmark survey of selected
services. The introduction of gross recording for
various service transactions also contributed to
the revision of the growth rate.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Imports.—For 1982-91, the average annual growth
rate of imports was revised up o.i percentage
point to 8.1 percent. An upward revision in the
growth of investment income was partly offset by
a downward revision in the growth of services;
growth of merchandise imports was not revised.
For investment income, the average annual
growth rate was revised up 0.5 percentage point
to 7.6 percent. The revision was mainly due
to new estimates of income on banks' foreigncurrency-denominated liabilities. The change to
present direct investment income before deduction of nonresident taxes also contributed to the
revision of the growth rate.
For services, the average annual growth rate
was revised down o.i percentage point to 9.6 percent. The revision reflected changes in travel,
passenger fares, and other private services due
to new source data, improved surveys, and the
selected services benchmark survey. The introduction of gross recording for various service
transactions also contributed to the revision of
the growth rate.
Unilateral transfers.—Net unilateral transfers
were revised up substantially throughout the
1982-91 period. The average annual revision was
$8.6 billion. The upward revisions were the result
of improved estimates of personal remittances by
the foreign-born population in the United States
and the inclusion of an item in unilateral transfers for net taxes paid by U.S. residents to foreign
governments.
Balance on current account.—-The pattern of the
balance on current account since 1982 is not
greatly altered on the revised basis. The peak year
for the U.S. current-account deficit remains 1987;
however, the level of the current-account deficit
is raised somewhat for 1982-87 and is reduced
somewhat for 1987-91.
Capital flows and errors and omissions.—Capital
inflows to the United States were revised significantly in some years, but over 1982-91, these
revisions are largely offsetting. The statistical discrepancy was also revised significantly in some
years; over 1982-91, there continues to be large
unrecorded net inflows.
Major sources of revisions
The major sources of the revisions to the U.S.
international accounts are the following:
• Definitional changes. The lines for royalties
and license fees and for other private services




have been redefined to present transactions
on a gross basis for both exports and imports;
previously, these transactions were presented on a net basis. In addition, the lines
for royalties and license fees, other private
services, and direct investment income have
been redefined to record transactions before deduction of nonresident taxes withheld;
previously, these transactions were presented after deduction of taxes withheld. New
estimates of nonresident taxes withheld are
introduced.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

• June 1992




• Services. New estimates are introduced for
travel, passenger fares, and other transportation. The estimates of other private services reflect the incorporation of benchmark
survey results for 1991.
• Direct investment income.
This income is now measured on a current-cost
(replacement-cost) basis after adjustment to
reported depreciation, depletion, and expensed exploration and development costs;
previously, direct investment income was
measured on a historical-cost basis. In addition, capital gains and losses are removed
from direct investment income. (Currency
translation gains and losses had previously
been removed).
• Portfolio investment income. New estimates
are introduced for several components of
portfolio income.
• Unilateral transfers. New estimates of nonresident taxes withheld are introduced and
entered as offsets to entries in the service and
investment income accounts. In addition,
new estimates are introduced for personal remittances of the foreign-born population of
the United States.
• Direct investment capital. Reinvested earnings are adjusted to offset changes made in
direct investment income. They are now
measured on a current-cost (replacementcost) basis, and they now exclude capital
gains and losses.
• Foreign securities. New estimates are introduced for redemptions of foreign bonds
and for transactions in outstanding foreign
bonds.
• U.S. claims on unaffiliated foreigners reported
by U.S. nonbanking concerns. New estimates
are substituted to more accurately record
changes in U.S. nonbanking concerns' claims
on foreign banks.
Definitional changes
Gross recording.—Until now, the transactions of
direct investors in royalties and fees and in other
private services with affiliated foreigners have
been presented on a net basis in table i—that is,
receipts and payments have been netted against
each other and entered as exports for U.S. direct investors and as imports for foreign direct
investors in the United States. Effective with
this revision, these transactions are presented on
a gross basis—that is, all receipts for royalties
and fees and for other private services are now

recorded as exports, regardless of whether they
are receipts of U.S. or foreign direct investors, and
all payments are now recorded as imports, also
regardless of whether they are payments of U.S.
or foreign direct investors. This change is made
for estimates beginning with 1982. Although
gross exports and imports are changed significantly, the current-account balance is unaffected
by this change.
For transactions in direct investment income
with affiliated foreigners, dividends have previously been recorded gross in table i and remain
so. An exception to the gross recording principle
is made for interest income, which will continue
to be recorded net as at present. Thus, interest
receipts and payments on U.S. direct investment
abroad will continue to be netted against one another and the net amount recorded as exports,
and interest receipts and payments on foreign
direct investment in the United States will continue to be netted against one another and the
net amount recorded as imports. The rationale
is that net interest income, for some purposes,
must be related to the direct investment position
estimates to measure the cost of debt capital; it
would be impossible to make such a comparison
if the interest income estimates were presented
on a gross basis.
Users should also note that royalties and fees,
other private services, and direct investment interest income will continue to be presented net
(as they have been previously) in table 5. This
table serves the supplementary purpose of presenting the combined activity of direct investors
outside of the balance of payments framework.
Nonresident taxes.—Until now, estimates for several components of the current account have been
presented after deduction of nonresident taxes
withheld by either the U.S. Government or foreign governments. These components include
royalties and fees, other private service payments,
direct investment income (both dividends and
interest), and portfolio dividend payments. Effective with this revision, these components are
presented before deduction of nonresident taxes
withheld. Offsetting entries for nonresident taxes
withheld are made in the unilateral transfers
account. The change is made beginning with estimates for 1982 and is made to both the receipts
and payments sides of the accounts. Because
it is not possible to prepare precise regional
and country-specific information for the taxes
withheld, no geographic allocation of taxes is
made in table 10; in that table, the aggregate
amount of taxes withheld by account is entered in

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

the "international organizations and unallocated"
column.
Source data for most of the estimates of taxes
withheld are obtained from the Internal Revenue
Service. An exception is taxes withheld on direct investment dividends, which are reported to
BEA on its direct investment surveys. For the
most recent years, BEA prepares estimates of taxes
withheld.
Services
Travel—Mexico.—Bilateral travel payments and
receipts between the United States and Mexico
have until now been estimated independently by
the two countries. However, some of BEA'S estimates are based on outdated surveys, and other
key source data are believed to be erroneous.
Therefore, in consultation with balance of payments statisticians at the Bank of Mexico and
after a careful evaluation of the strengths and
weaknesses of the Mexican estimates, BEA has
accepted the Mexican estimates and will substitute them into the U.S. accounts. The Mexican
estimates are substituted beginning with 1984.
BEA has for many years incorporated key subcomponents of the Mexican estimates, particularly for U.S. payments associated with travel to
the Mexican interior. However, a major change
that comes with full-scale substitution is a significant reduction in the estimated number of U.S.
travelers to the Mexican border area and, thus,
in the estimates of U.S. expenditures there. The
previously used U.S. source data are believed to
have overstated the number of U.S. travelers by
a significant margin.
On the U.S. receipts side of the accounts, BEA
had previously used the Mexican estimates for
border-area transactions. The adoption of Mexican estimates of expenditures in the U.S. interior
shows significantly more expenditures than did
the U.S. estimates, which were based on outdated
surveys.
The revisions lower U.S. payments $1.6 billion
and increase U.S. receipts $1.2 billion for 1991.
Travel—Canada.—Canadian authorities have
substantially revised their estimates of Canadian
expenditures in the United States for 1990 and
1991 to account for the surge in Canadian expenditures here, particularly in the area just south of
the U.S.-Canadian border. Economic conditions
conducive to making consumer purchases in the
United States, as well as the introduction of a new
goods and services tax at the beginning of 1991,
encouraged these expenditures, which previously




were grossly underestimated. These expenditures
include purchases of used automobiles amounting to $193 million in 1990 and $310 million in
1991, which are not recorded in the merchandise
trade statistics of either country. The revisions
increase U.S. receipts (Canadian expenditures)
$1.4 billion for 1990 and $1.9 billion for 1991.
Travel and passenger fares—cruise.—New estimates of U.S. international cruise transactions
are introduced beginning with 1984. The estimates are derived from information on passenger
fares, discounts, commissions, number of passengers who travel on foreign cruise lines, and
foreign ship operators. The estimates are divided
into three components: Fares, on-board spending, and passengers' expenditures at ports of call,
and each is estimated separately for both receipts
and payments. Fares are entered in the passenger fare accounts, and on-board spending and
passengers' expenditures at ports of call in the
travel accounts. The estimates are limited to activity in the North American market (those along
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America) plus the Caribbean and Hawaii. Residency
of the operator is determined by the location of
a company's headquarters for cruise operations.
Payments to foreigners for fares were $280 million in 1991; for on-board spending, $67 million;
and for spending in foreign ports, $299 million.
Receipts from foreigners for fares were $156 million in 1991; for on-board spending, $31 billion;
and for expenditures in U.S. ports, $23 million.
The net impact on the passenger fare and travel
accounts is to increase net payments $436 million
for 1991.
Passenger fares—interline settlements.—Passenger
fare receipts and payments are revised to include
new estimates of interline settlements between
U.S. and foreign airlines beginning with 1990.
Receipts from these transactions occur when passengers purchase tickets on foreign airlines but
must transfer to U.S. airlines to reach their final destinations; in such cases, a portion of the
total fare paid initially to foreign airlines is subsequently assigned to U.S. airlines in the settlement
process. Payments occur when passengers purchase tickets on U.S. airlines but must transfer to
foreign airlines, in which case a portion of total
fares paid initially to U.S. airlines is assigned to
foreign airlines in the settlement process.
Source data are obtained from BEA Form BE-37,
"U.S. Airline Operators' Foreign Revenues and
Expenses." On this form, U.S. airlines are asked
to separately identify interline settlements and to

June 1992 •

72 • June 1992




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

report them quarterly. Allocations of receipts and
payments by major country or area are developed
by BEA from estimates of international travel receipts and payments. As a result of the new
estimates, receipts are increased $2.0 billion, and
payments $1.6 billion, for 1991. It is not possible
to construct estimates of receipts and payments
prior to 1990 because of the lack of survey data.
Other transportation—rail transport.—Other
transportation receipts are revised to include new
estimates of U.S. rail carriers' revenues for transporting foreign-owned goods shipped in transit
in the United States beginning with 1986. These
shipments consist mainly of containerized goods
that arrive by ship at U.S. ports and that are then
hauled by rail to another U.S. port for transport
to final destinations in other countries. Such
shipments are often referred to as "landbridge"
shipments.
Source data are obtained from the Interstate
Commerce Commission (ice) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Sample data
on freight revenues and shipping weights are obtained from railroad waybills and are expanded
by ice and DOT to cover all such shipments. The
data are adjusted by BEA to exclude transactions
of U.S. ship operators with U.S. rail carriers for
the shipment of foreign-owned goods. Allocations of revenues by major country or area are
developed by BEA from Census Bureau data on
in-transit exports and imports.
As a result of the revision, receipts are increased
$475 million in 1991.
Other private services—benchmark survey.—
Estimates of other private services have been
revised to incorporate preliminary results from
the benchmark survey of selected transactions
with unaffiliated foreigners for 1991. The previous
benchmark survey covered 1986. As a result of
the new benchmark survey, other private services
receipts are increased $2.1 billion, and payments
$1.1 billion, for 1991.
The coverage of the benchmark survey was
expanded by introducing a new exemption
criterion, and by adding new types of services.
On the benchmark survey for 1991, the basis for qualifying for exemption was changed
from a per-transaction basis to an overall basis; respondents were required to report all sales
or purchases with unaffiliated foreigners for any
covered service for which total transactions exceeded $500,000. On the 1986 benchmark survey
and on the annual surveys for 1987-90, respondents were only required to report individual

transactions in excess of $250,000. The new basis
for exemption resulted in more complete coverage of services for which individual transactions
tended to be small but for which the total value
of transactions may have been sizable. In particular, coverage of legal services and of database
and other information services was significantly
enhanced.
One new services group covered by the 1991
benchmark survey was "miscellaneous disbursements," which include outlays to fund newsgathering costs of broadcasters and the print
media; production costs of motion picture companies and companies engaged in the production
of broadcast program material other than news;
and costs of maintaining tourism, business promotion, sales, and representative offices, including costs for participating in foreign trade shows.
Another newly covered service was payments for
the use or lease of rights to natural resources,
such as oil, or of mining production royalties and
lease payments.
Direct investment income
Current-cost adjustment.—Effective with this revision, direct investment income (and the reinvested earnings component of direct investment capital) is measured on a current-cost
(replacement-cost) basis after adjustment to reported depreciation, depletion, and expensed
exploration and development costs. This adjustment is made primarily to ensure that these
charges reflect current-period prices, as well as
to more closely align income earned in a given
period with charges against income in the same
period, as required by economic accounting principles. The amount of the adjustment is the
difference between depreciation, depletion, and
expensed exploration and development costs valued for financial accounting purposes and their
values on a current-cost (replacement-cost) basis, as required for the national and international
economic accounts. The restatement of income
begins with estimates for 1982.
Previously, direct investment income was based
on U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP), which companies use as the basis for
reporting data to BEA. Under U.S. GAAP, depreciation is valued in terms of the historical costs of
assets and reflects a mix of prices for the various
years in which capital investments were made.
This is not the proper concept for measuring
production and charges against production from
an economic accounting perspective. From this
perspective, these charges should be valued in

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

prices of the current period. Accordingly, a capital consumption adjustment is made to income
estimated from BEA surveys so that depreciation
will be stated in prices of the current period.
The method used to estimate depreciation on a
current-cost (replacement-cost) basis is the same
as that used in BEA'S estimates of U.S. fixed reproducible tangible wealth; however, unlike those
estimates, no inventory valuation adjustment is
attempted in the international accounts.4
Another adjustment is made for depletion.
Under U.S. GAAP, depletion—which is a charge
for using up natural resources—is expensed over
several accounting periods as natural resources
are extracted or developed. However, from an
economic accounting perspective, depletion is
not a cost of production. Accordingly, an adjustment is made to remove the depletion reported
on BEA surveys from current-period income.
A final adjustment is made for expensed exploration and development costs. Under U.S.
GAAP, certain expenditures for mining exploration, shafts, and wells can be charged as current
expenses. For economic accounting purposes,
these expenses should be treated as capital formation and written off over their economic lives.
Accordingly, an estimate of these expenses is removed from income estimates derived from BEA
surveys.
In 1991, the current-cost adjustment for depreciation, depletion, and expensed exploration
and development costs lowered income receipts
on U.S. direct investment abroad $1.1 billion and
increased income losses on foreign direct investment in the United States $1.1 billion. Because no
geographic allocation is possible, the adjustment
is entered in the "international organizations and
unallocated column" in table 10.
Capital gains and losses.—Capital gains and losses
are removed from the reinvested earnings component of direct investment income accounts
beginning with estimates for 1982. The change
is made to both the inward and outward direct
investment accounts because capital gains and
losses are not income (or returns) on investments
from current operations but are part of the value
of the investments (or capital). Capital gains and
losses associated with currency translation gains
and losses had previously been removed from
U.S. direct investment abroad income and capital.

Government Printing Office, June 1987).




Nonresident taxes.—New, separate estimates of
nonresident taxes withheld are made for both direct investment interest and dividends for both
receipts and payments. The estimates are based
on data from the Internal Revenue Service and
on estimates by BEA, as well as on data reported
to BEA for dividends; they are made beginning
with 1982. Income is presented before deduction of these taxes paid by investors; previously
it was presented after deduction of taxes. Offsetting entries for taxes withheld are made in the
unilateral transfers account. Estimates of taxes
withheld now included in the direct investment
income accounts were $1.3 billion in U.S. tax receipts and $0.4 billion in U.S. tax payments for
1991.
Portfolio investment income
Dividend receipts on U.S. holdings of foreign
stocks.—New estimates of dividend receipts on
U.S. holdings of foreign stocks are introduced,
based on a new estimating methodology that
applies updated dividend yields by major countries to outstanding U.S. holdings of stocks in
those countries. The previous methodology was
based on a cumulated flow of dividend receipts
from an outdated benchmark survey and outdated dividend rates, both of which severely
underestimated the flow of dividend receipts to
the United States. Use of more recently determined position estimates and variable dividend
rates corrects much of the underestimate.
Several adjustments are made to improve the
position estimates by country and by area to
more clearly identify the nationality of foreign
stock holdings before the application of dividend
yields. This permits a more accurate derivation of
the geographic source of dividends than has been
previously possible. However, the country and
area position estimates may still contain an element of significant error because of the lack of a
recent benchmark survey of holdings. A comprehensive benchmark survey is currently planned
for December 1993, with preliminary results expected to be available in 1995. Lacking such a
benchmark survey, changes have only been made
in the geographic distribution of the U.S. investments abroad, and no changes have been made
in the overall position.
The position estimates are redistributed and
revalued based on country- and area-specific information on stock holdings, transactions, and
stock prices. The redistributed estimates differ
significantly from the previously published positions, which reflected data on cumulated flows

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

based on country of transactor rather than country of issuer (and payer of dividends). The
largest redistributions were from financial centers
in the United Kingdom and the Caribbean, where
trading in nonresident stocks is particularly
prevalent.
Dividend receipts are derived by applying new
country- and area-specific stock yields to the
revised position estimates to produce revised
country, area, and global estimates. These dividend receipts are presented before deduction
of taxes withheld in the income account, with
an offsetting entry for taxes withheld in the
unilateral transfers account.
The new estimates are made for 1976 forward
and result in significant revisions to both global
dividend receipts and to the geographic distribution of those receipts. For 1991, dividend receipts
are increased from $1.9 billion to $4.1 billion. By
geographic area, the largest changes were with
Canada and the original six members of the
European Community.
Interest receipts on U.S. holdings of foreign
bonds.—Interest receipts on bonds are revised
as a result of new estimates of foreign bond redemptions and transactions of outstanding bonds
introduced in the capital accounts. The changes
in the capital account were made to correct an incomplete identification of bond redemptions and
to restate transactions in outstanding bonds. The
revisions were made beginning with 1980.
In addition, new estimating methodologies to
determine interest yields are introduced. These
new interest yields permit the estimation of interest receipts on bonds on a much more detailed
level by country and area than previously possible for each component of the foreign bonds
account.
Interest receipts are presented before deduction
of nonresident taxes withheld in the income account, with an offsetting entry for taxes withheld
in the unilateral transfers account.
For 1991, the revisions increase interest receipts
$1.4 billion.
Interest receipts and payments on U.S. banks3
claims and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.—New estimates are introduced of interest
income received and paid on U.S. banks' claims
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Although the amounts of foreign-currencydenominated claims are small relative to those
denominated in dollars, only partial estimates of
interest receipts were previously included in the
accounts. The estimates are made beginning with

1986. For 1991, the result was to increase interest
receipts on foreign-currency-denominated claims
$2.1 billion, to $5.7 billion, and to increase interest payments on foreign-currency-denominated
liabilities $5.4 billion.
Interest receipts on U.S. nonbanking concerns'
financial claims on unaffiliated foreign banks.—
Interest receipts are reestimated based on new
source data from Canada, the United Kingdom,
and the Federal Reserve Board on U.S. nonbanking concerns' financial claims on unaffiliated
foreign banks. The substitution of these new estimates in the capital account necessitated this
revision of interest receipts in the current account. The methodology used to make the
reestimates is unchanged from that used previously. The reestimates are made beginning with
1979 for Canadian receipts, 1983 for British receipts, and 1984 for receipts from the Bahamas
and British West Indies (Cayman Islands). For
1991, the result was to add $6.1 billion to interest
receipts.
Nonresident taxes.—New, separate estimates of
nonresident taxes withheld are made for both
portfolio interest and dividends and for both receipts and payments. The estimates are based
on data from the Internal Revenue Service and
on estimates by BEA; they are made beginning
with 1982. Income is presented before deduction
of these taxes paid by investors, as it was previously, with the exception of dividend payments,
which were previously presented after deduction
of taxes. Estimates of taxes withheld now included in the portfolio accounts are $3.7 billion in
tax receipts and $1.2 billion in tax payments. Offsetting entries are made in the unilateral transfers
account.
Unilateral transfers
Nonresident taxes.—New entries are made as offsets to the value of nonresident taxes introduced
in several service and investment income components of the current account. New estimates
of taxes withheld are introduced for royalties and
fees, other private services, direct investment income (both dividends and interest) and portfolio
income (both dividends and interest) beginning
with estimates for 1982. Estimates are made for
both receipts and payments.
Taxes paid by U.S. private residents to foreign
governments are recorded as transfer payments
to foreign governments in table i, line 32. Taxes
paid by private nonresidents to the U.S. Government are recorded as transfer receipts and are

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

netted against payments in the same line. The net
amount is a component of the "other transfers"
part of the line, which is redefined to include
transactions of both private individuals and governments. The recording of these transactions
as a single net amount is consistent with other
entries in the unilateral transfers account, which
are normally presented on a net basis by type of
transaction.
^j
Although both the credit and the debit ^ntries
are within the current account and are therefore
offsetting, the excess of payments over receipts
results in the addition of net payments to the
unilateral transfers account. Unilateral transfers
now include tax payments of $6.1 billion and tax
receipts of $1.8 billion for 1991.
Personal remittances of the foreign-born population.—New estimates of personal remittances of
the foreign-born population of the United States
are introduced beginning with 1981. The estimates are based on population characteristics of
the foreign-born population extracted from the
1980 Census of Population, 1981-90 immigration
data from the Immigration and Naturalization
Service, and Census estimates of the annual flow
of undocumented aliens. A simulation model
based on family status, age, and length of U.S.
residency forecasts demographic changes in the
size and composition of the foreign-born population over the decade. Census records also
provide income levels for the foreign-born population, arrayed by family status and duration of
U.S. residency.
These data are combined with data on dollar
remittances of the foreign-born population from
a sample survey of legalized aliens conducted by
the Immigration and Naturalization Service for
1987. The data show that the proportion of income remitted is significantly higher for persons
from developing countries than from developed
countries, that the proportion of income remitted
is highest in the initial years of residency in the
United States and drops sharply thereafter, and
that the proportion of income remitted is higher
for single than for married foreign-born persons.
Outward personal remittances of the foreignborn population in the United States were $6.9
billion in 1991. The new estimates, which replace
the previous estimates, result in the addition of
$6.5 billion in personal remittances to the accounts for 1991. These new estimates do not cover
inward remittances of the foreign-born based on
income, or transfers of assets into or out of the
country at the time of migration, all of which
should in principle be included in the accounts.




A lack of source data prevents the preparation of
such estimates.
Direct investment capital
Current-cost adjustment.—Effective with this revision, the reinvested earnings component of direct investment capital is measured on a currentcost (replacement-cost) basis after adjustment to
reported depreciation, depletion, and expensed
exploration and development costs. This adjustment is the offset to changes made in direct
investment income. For 1991, the adjustment
reduced U.S. direct investment abroad capital
outflows $1.1 billion and reduced foreign direct
investment capital inflows $1.1 billion.
Capital gains and losses.—Effective with this revision, capital gains and losses are removed from
the reinvested earnings component of direct investment capital. This adjustment is the offset to
changes made in direct investment income.
Equity capital.—A new methodology is introduced to account for equity increases and decreases of delinquent reporters on both sides
of the accounts, beginning with estimates for
1990. Previously, the preliminary estimates of
equity capital increases and decreases for both
foreign direct investment in the United States
and U.S. direct investment abroad have persistently understated the flows eventually provided
by quinquennial benchmark surveys. Although
successive annual revisions bring the published
estimates closer to benchmark estimates, a large
number of quarters and years may elapse before
these capital flows are accurately recorded in the
transactions accounts. This understatement has
been largely due to the lack of a methodology to
account for delinquent reporters.
The new procedure creates a ratio of the
current quarter's reported equity capital flows
(including reported births of new affiliates and
information from several BEA surveys) to the
prior quarter's equity positions of all affiliates who
reported in the current period. This ratio is multiplied by the equity position in the prior quarter
of affiliates that did not report in the current
quarter (after deduction of the equity position in
the prior quarter of affiliates exempt from reporting). The result is added to the current quarter's
reported flows to derive total equity increases and
decreases.
This expansion is performed only on aggregate data. The estimated equity flows are then
allocated to the largest country and industry

76 • June 1992




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

cells—that is, those accounting for about 75 percent of the total equity position at the end of the
previous year.
Foreign securities
Redemptions of non-Canadian foreign bonds issued
in the United States.—Until now, these redemptions have been identified only incompletely. It
has been possible to substantially improve this
estimate by reexamining the information made
available at the time each bond was originally issued. For nearly all years since 1980, the new
series on redemptions substantially exceeds the
old, reflecting the incomplete coverage of the previous estimates. For 1991, redemptions were $7.4
billion on the new basis, up from $5.0 billion on
the old basis. Interest income received from foreign bonds was also reduced to reflect the larger
amount of redemptions.
Transactions in outstanding bonds.—Because the
newly constructed series on redemptions is subtracted from total transactions in foreign securities, which is unchanged, a revised series on
transactions in outstanding bonds is also introduced. For 1991, transactions in outstanding
bonds were $1.3 billion in net U.S. purchases on
the new basis, in contrast to $1.1 billion in net
U.S. sales on the old basis. The new data on
country of issuer also made it possible to extend
to 1980-87 a more detailed application of interest
rates by major country; this more detailed application had previously been used for 1988-91
transactions.
17.S. nonbanking concerns' claims on
unaffiliated foreigners
U.S. nonbanking concerns' claims on unaffiliated
foreign banks.—Claims on unaffiliated foreigners
reported by U.S. nonbanking concerns are revised to substitute key foreign source data for
data previously published. The substitution was
made because of major problems in the adequacy of coverage of certain capital transactions
by nonbank reporters in the U.S. statistical reporting system. Statistical reports on nonbanking
concerns' capital transactions with unaffiliated
foreigners are returned by only a few hundred
large corporations, whereas the universe of potential reporters is believed to be close to 1,000.
U.S. compilers are taking steps to enhance the
coverage of the U.S. nonbank reporting system,
but these steps are expected to take several years.
As one interim measure, it is possible to gauge
the amount of undercoverage of one class of

transactions—U.S. nonbanking concerns' claims
on unaffiliated foreign banks—by looking at
counterparty data collected by key financial partners abroad on liabilities owed by their banks to
U.S. nonbanking concerns. In this year's revisions, banking data from the United Kingdom
and Canada have been utilized to improve U.S.
capital transactions and position data. Together
with data on the Caribbean area, which is discussed below, these three areas account for a
large share of U.S. nonbanking concerns' claims
on unaffiliated foreign banks. Adjustments have
been made to the British and Canadian data to
match various subcomponents in the U.S. statistical system. Canadian bank-reported liabilities
to U.S. nonbanks, after removal of floating-rate
notes, marketable securities issued by banks in
Canada, and Canadian-issued negotiable CD'S,
closely approximate what should be reported by
U.S. nonbank residents as deposits and other
financial claims (in both U.S. dollars and foreign currencies). British bank-reported liabilities
to U.S. nonbanks—the sum of time, sight, and
negotiable deposits owned by U.S. nonbanks,
plus British banks' custody holdings of negotiable
CD'S and British Treasury bills—closely approximate what should be reported by U.S. nonbank
residents as deposits and other financial claims
(in both U.S. dollars and foreign currencies).
Thus, these data collected by foreign authorities
have been substituted for those collected by U.S.
authorities until more comprehensive reporting
can be implemented by U.S. compilers. A lack
of comparability in statistical reporting systems
makes more extensive substitution impossible at
the present time.
As another interim measure, data collected by
the U.S. Federal Reserve System on liabilities of
foreign branches of U.S. banks in the Bahamas
and British West Indies (Cayman Islands) to
U.S. nonbanks closely approximate what should
be reported by U.S. nonbank residents and are
substituted into the accounts.
These substitutions are made beginning with
1979 for the Canadian data, 1983 for the British
data, and 1984 for the Federal Reserve data. The
average annual revision to the change in claims
for the past 4 years (to take account of the large
volatility from year to year) was a decrease of $1.2
billion for U.S. claims on Canada, an increase of
$0.3 billion for U.S. claims on the United Kingdom, and a decrease of $1.0 billion for U.S. claims
on branches of U.S. banks in the Bahamas and
British West Indies (Cayman Islands). Changes
to the position estimates were much larger. U.S.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

nonbanking concerns' claims on unaffiliated foreigners are now $101.7 billion in 1991, up from
$41.4 billion.
Corresponding adjustments are made to portfolio income receipts earned on U.S. nonbanking
concerns' claims on unaffiliated foreigners.
Because of much greater difficulty in establishing comparability between U.S.-reported nonbanking concerns' liabilities to foreigners and the
counterparty claims of foreigners on the United
States, it is not possible to substitute foreign
source data on the liabilities side of the U.S.




nonbanking concerns' account.
Although substitution of foreign source data
eliminates one source of undercoverage of capital
flows in the U.S. accounts, capital flows in general remain underreported, and the proportion
of the total problem that has been corrected remains unknown. Also, because the substitution is
made only on the claims side of the accounts with
no corresponding changes on the liabilities side,
the true impact of the change on the statistical
discrepancy remains unknown.

FOOTNOTES TO U.S.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS TABLES 1-1OA

General notes for all tables: P Preliminary. 'Less than $500,000 (±)
n.a. Not available.
D
Suppressed to avoid disclosure of data of individual companies.
Table 1:
1. Credits, +: Exports of goods, services, and income; unilateral transfers to United States; capital inflows (increase
in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in U.S. assets); decrease in U.S. official reserve assets; increase in foreign
official assets in the United States.
Debits, -: Imports of goods, services, and income; unilateral transfers to foreigners; capital outflows (decrease
in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or increase in U.S. assets); increase in U.S. official reserve assets; decrease in foreign
offical assets in the United States.
2. Excludes exports of goods under U.S. military agency sales contracts identified in Census export documents,
excludes imports of goods under direct defense expenditures identified in Census import documents, and reflects various
other adjustments (for valuation, coverage, and timing) of Census statistics to balance of payments basis; see table 2.
3. Includes some goods: Mainly military equipment in line 4; major equipment, other materials, supplies, and
petroleum products purchased abroad by U.S. military agencies in line 18; and fuels purchased by airline and steamship
operators in lines 7 and 21.
4. Includes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs.
5. Beginning in 1982, these lines are presented on a gross basis. The definition of exports is revised to exclude
U.S. parents' payments to foreign affiliates and to include U.S. affiliates' receipts from foreign parents. The definition
of imports is revised to include U.S. parents' payments to foreign affiliates and to exclude U.S. affiliates' receipts from
foreign parents.
6. Beginning in 1982, the "other transfers" component includes taxes paid by U.S. private residents to foreign
governments and taxes paid by private nonresidents to the U.S. Government.
7. For all areas, amounts outstanding March 31,1992, were as follows in millions of dollars: Line 34,74,657; line
35,11,057; line 36,10,947; line 37,8,994; line 38,43,659. Data are preliminary.
8. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
9. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible and nonconvertible
bonds and notes.
10. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere, and of debt securities
of U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
11. Includes, primarily, U.S. Government liabilities associated with military agency sales contracts and other
transactions arranged with or through foreign official agencies; see table 4.
12. Consists of investments in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations and State and
local governments.
13. Conceptually, the sum of lines 69 and 62 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the national income and
product accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the
international transactions accounts for the treatment of gold, (b) includes adjustments for the different geographical
treatment of transactions with U.S. territories and Puerto Rico, and (c) includes services furnished without payment
by financial pension plans except life insurance carriers and private noninsured pension plans. A reconciliation of the
balance on goods and services from the international accounts and the NIPA net exports appears in the "Reconciliation
and Other Special Tables" section in this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. A reconciliation of the other foreign
transactions in the two sets of accounts appears in table 4.5 of the full set of NIPA tables (published annually in the
July issue of the SURVEY).
14. Includes return import into the United States, at a depreciated value of $21 million in 1972.1V and $22 million
in 1973:11, of aircraft originally reported in 1970:111 in line 4 as a long-term lease to Australia.
15. Includes extraordinary U.S. Government transactions with India. See "Special U.S. Government Transactions,"
June 1974 SURVEY, p. 27.
16. Includes foreign currency-denominated notes sold to private residents abroad.
17. Break in series. See Technical Notes in the June 1989, June 1990, and June 1992 SURVEY.

Table 2:

1. Exports, Census basis, represent transactions values, f.a.s. U.S. port of exportation, for all years; imports,
Census basis, represent transactions 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 in the June 1982 SURVEY). From 1983 forward,
both unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data have been prepared by BEA from "actual" and "revised statistical" month
data supplied by the Census Bureau (see Technical Notes in the December 1985 SURVEY). The seasonally adjusted
data are the sum of seasonally adjusted five-digit end-use categories (see Technical Notes in the June 1980 SURVEY,
in the June 1988 SURVEY, and in the June 1991 SURVEY). Prior to 1983, annual data are as published by the Census
Bureau, except that for 1975-80 published Census data are adjusted to include trade between the U.S. Virgin Islands
and foreign countries.
2. Beginning in 1990, the Census Bureau replaced its compiled export statistics with counterpart Canadian import
statistics. Similarly, Statistics Canada replaced its compiled export statistics with counterpart U.S. import statistics. This
exchange of data has eliminated the need for the inland freight adjustment on U.S. exports, but not on U.S. imports.
3. Adjustments in lines A5 and A13, B12, B47, and B82 reflect the Census Bureau's reconciliation of discrepancies
between the merchandise trade statistics published by the United States and the counterpart statistics published in
Canada. These adjustments are distributed to the affected end-use categories in section C. Beginning in 1986, estimates
for undocumented exports to Canada, the largest item in the U.S.-Canadian reconciliation, are included in Census basis
data shown in line A1.
4. 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 A14), to the extent such trade is identifiable
from Customs declarations. The exports are included in tables 1 and 10, line 4 (transfers under U.S. military agency
sales contracts); the imports are included in tables 1 and 10, line 18 (direct defense expenditures).
5. 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 change in stock of U.S.-owned grains in storage in
Canada; for 1975-82, net timing adjustments for goods recorded in Census data in one period but found to have been
shippped in another; coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data;
deduction of the value of repairs and alterations to foreign-owned equipment shipped to the United States for repair;
and the inclusion of fish exported outside of U.S. customs area.
6. Addition of understatement of inland freight in f.a.s. values of U.S. merchandise imports from Canada in 197481; deduction of foreign charges for repair of U.S. vessels abroad, which are included in tables 1 and 10, line 21 (other
transportation); deduction of imports from the Panama Canal Zone before October 1,1979; for 1975-82, net timing
adjustments for goods recorded in Census data in one period but found to have been shipped in another; coverage
adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data; and the deduction of the value
of repairs and alterations to U.S.-owned equipment shipped abroad for repair.
7. Correction for the understatement of crude petroleum imports from Canada in 1988 and 1989.
8. 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 International Monetary
Fund, transfers of tin to the International Tin Council (ITC), and sales of satellites to Intelsat. The memoranda are
defined as follows: Industrial countries: Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa;
Members of OPEC: Venezuela, Ecuador, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia,
Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, and Gabon; Other countries: Eastern Europe, Latin America and Other Western Hemisphere,
and other countries in Asia and Africa, less OPEC. Before 1984, complete geographic area detail was not available for
some balance of payments adjustments. Therefore, the detail shown does not always sum to the values shown for the

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

L,C,Lg,U Cyclical indicator series are classified as L (leading), C (coincident), Lg (lagging), or U (unclassified) at reference cycle peaks, troughs, and overall. Series classifications
are shown in parentheses following the series titles.
J Cyclical indicator series denoted by J are inverted (i.e., the sign is reversed) for cyclical analysis calculations, including classifications, contributions to composite indexes,
and current high values,
t Cyclical indicator series denoted by f are smoothed by an autoregressive-moving-average filter developed by Statistics Canada.
For information on composite indexes and other concepts used in this section, see "Composite Indexes of Leading, Coincident, and Lagging Indicators" in the November 1987
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS and "Business Cycle Indicators: Revised Composite Indexes" in the January 1989 SURVEY.
References to series in this section use the prefix "BCI-" followed by the series number. Unless otherwise noted, series are seasonally adjusted.
Percent change data are centered within the spans: 1-month changes are placed in the ending month, 3-month changes are placed in the 3d month, 6-month changes are
placed in the 4th month, 1-quarter changes are placed in the ending quarter, and 4-quarter changes are placed in the 3d quarter.
Diffusion indexes are defined as the percent of components rising plus one-half of the percent of components unchanged. Diffusion index data are centered within the spans:
1-month indexes are placed in the ending month and 6-month indexes are placed in the 4th month.
High values reached by cyclical indicators since the last reference cycle trough (November 1982) are shown ih boldface type; high values reached prior to the period shown in
the table are listed at the bottom of each page. For inverted series, low values are indicated as highs.
Sources for series in this section are shown on pages C-27 and C-28 in the April 1992 SURVEY.
