the BUSINESS SITUATION
REAL GNP increased at an annual
rate of about 4 percent in the first
quarter of 1983, after five consecutive
quarters of poor performance ending
with a 1-percent decline in the fourth
quarter of 1982. Inflation continued to
slow; the 3-percent increase in GNP
prices registered in the first quarter
was the lowest in over a decade.1 The
unemployment rate, at 10.2 percent
in February, remained near its
postwar high.
• Real personal consumption expenditures increased moderately—
about 2% percent at an annual rate.
Purchases of motor vehicles dipped,
after a large increase in the fourth
quarter in response to the introduction of subsidized interest rates (see
the following section on motor vehicles). Purchases of other durable
goods strengthened, in part reflecting
the revitalization of the housing
market. An increase in purchases of
gasoline, after two quarters of decline,
appears to have been related to declines in its price. Services continued
weak; within them, expenditures on
home heating declined, due to the unusually mild winter weather in some
parts of the country.
1. The major source data that shed light on firstquarter GNP components are limited to 1 or 2 months
of the quarter, and in some cases are preliminary.
These data are: For personal consumption expenditures
(PCE), January and February retail sales, unit sales of
new autos through the first 10 days of March, and
sales of new trucks for January and February; for
nonresidential fixed investment, the same data for
autos and trucks as for PCE, January construction put
in place, January manufacturers' shipments of equipment, and business investment plans for the quarter;
for residential investment, January construction put in
place, and housing starts for January and February;
for change in business inventories, January book
values for manufacturing and trade, and unit auto inventories for January and February; for net exports of
goods and services, January merchandise trade; for
government purchases of goods and services, Federal
unified budget outlays for January, State and local
construction put in place for January, and State and
local employment for January and February; and for
GNP prices, the Consumer Price Index for January,
and the Producer Price Index for January.




• Information on fixed investment
other than residential construction is
sketchy. It appears that real nonresidential construction increased, largely
due to construction of commercial
buildings other than offices. This category, which includes stores and warehouses, had declined steadily over the
past year. Weakness persisted in industrial construction and in oil well
drilling; public utility construction
was down again. In producers' durable equipment, motor vehicles
changed little and it appears that
other categories, in total, were down
about as much as in the fourth quarter of 1982, but less than earlier in
that year.
• As discussed in the section on
housing markets, real residential investment was up strongly, in large
part due to continued improvement in
the financial conditions affecting
housing.
• Little information is yet available
about the other components of final
sales—net exports and government
purchases. It appears that real exports and imports both were up, but
imports were up more. The increases
were in merchandise trade; investment income continued to decline, reflecting the fall in interest rates here
and abroad. The major factor in real
government purchases was a drop-off
in the price-support operations of the
Commodity Credit Corporation. In the
fourth quarter, farmers had responded to low market prices for crops by
placing substantial amounts—mainly
of soybeans, corn, cotton, and wheat—
under loan. In the first quarter, they
placed much less under loan.
• For the change in business inventories, reasonably complete information is available only for motor vehicles. Real motor vehicle inventories
changed little after having been run
down sharply in the fourth quarter;

the swing from liquidation made a
large positive contribution to the
change in GNP. The limited evidence
about other inventories suggests further liquidation in the first quarter.
• GNP prices as measured by the
fixed-weighted price index increased
at an annual rate of 3 percent. The
slowing from the fourth-quarter increase of 5 percent was attributable to
energy prices; among these, gasoline
prices resumed their downtrend. For
most other components, first-quarter
increases were in the range of 2 to 5
percent. Some of these increases differed noticeably from those registered
in the fourth quarter: food prices,
which had changed little in the fourth
quarter, increased about 2 percent in
the first; prices of residential structures had declined 5 percent in the
fourth quarter but increased moderately in the first; and prices of Federal purchases increased less than in
the fourth quarter, when a pay raise
for Federal employees had added
about 5 percentage points to the increase in prices.

Personal income
Personal income was up $21 billion
in the first quarter, the net result of
several increases and decreases in its
components.2 Wage and salary disbursements were up sharply—about
$21% billion. Disbursements in all
major industry groups shown in table
1 were up. A $6 billion increase in
manufacturing, centered in durable
goods, was the first sizable one in
over a year. Farm proprietors' income

product accounts are expressed at seasonally adjusted
annual rates, and quarterly changes in them are differences between these rates.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
declined $6 billion. Fourth-quarter
farm income had included a $6% billion step-up in subsidy payments by
the Commodity Credit Corporation; in
the first quarter, these payments decreased $3 billion. Also, farm receipts
were down; a decrease in farm production more than offset an upturn in
farm prices.
Personal interest income increased
$1% billion, after a $3% billion decline
in the fourth quarter. Transfer payments declined $2 billion, largely due
to declines in benefits paid under regular unemployment insurance programs and under social security. In
the fourth quarter, the increase in
social security payments had been unusually large, reflecting retroactive
payments and resumption of payments to college students; also, unemployment benefits had been stepped
up under the supplementary extended
benefits program authorized by the
Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility
Act of 1982. Personal contributions

tracted in deriving the personal
income total, increased $3^ billion,
after no change in the fourth quarter.
An increase in the taxable wage base
from $32,400 to $35,700 accounted for
$2 billion, and the start of Federal
contributions to health insurance
under social security accounted for $1
billion, of the step-up.
Disposable personal income increased only $18 billion, or 3% percent
at an annual rate. However, the increase in prices paid by consumers
was even less, and real disposable
income increased 1J£ percent. In 1982,
quarterly changes in real disposable
income had ranged from a 2-percent
decline in the first quarter to a 3-percent increase in the second.
Personal outlays increased more
than disposable income, so that personal saving and the saving rate declined. The saving rate was down several tenths of a percentage point from

the quarter, sales of Japanese cars,
which make up the bulk of imports,
may have been held down by short
supplies. Shipments of cars to the
United States had slowed as Japanese
automakers complied with the agreed
limit of 1.68 million for the year
ending March 31, 1983. Japan has ex-

Motor vehicles

Motor vehicle output increased
about $6% billion (1972 dollars) in the
first quarter, following a $7% billion
decline in the fourth (table 2). The
first-quarter increase in motor vehicle
output accounted for about one-half of
the increase in GNP; the $14 billion
turnaround in motor vehicle output
accounted for about three-fourths of
the turnaround in GNP.
The turnaround in motor vehicle
output was in both autos and trucks;
output had been at very low levels in
the fourth quarter. Sales of motor vehicles declined slightly in the first
quarter, but remained above the
levels registered in the first three
quarters of 1982. Inventories changed
little after dropping sharply in the
fourth quarter.
Unit sales of new cars declined to
about 8.3 million (seasonally adjusted
annual rate), from 8.7 million in the
fourth quarter (chart 1). Earlier in
1982, sales had ranged from 7.5 to 8.0
million. Sales of both domestic and
imported cars were down in the first
quarter.
Imported car sales declined from
2.5 million to about 2.4 million, but

tended the agreement to limit shipments to 1.68 million for a third year,
beginning April 1, 1983.
Domestic car sales declined to about
5.9 million in the first quarter from
6.1 million in the fourth. Fourth-quarter sales had been boosted by belowmarket installment loan rates—under
11 percent—offered by major automakers through their financial subsidiaries. In the first quarter, rates
about 1 percentage point higher were
offered. The net increase in new car
sales over the last two quarters has
been modest—not surprising in view
of the lackluster performance of real
disposable income and the continued
high unemployment rate.
Car production was stepped up to
5.9 million units (seasonally adjusted
annual rate) in the first quarter from
a very low level—4.7 million—in the
fourth. Production had been curtailed
in the fourth quarter, as automakers
worked down excessive inventories of
carryover 1982 models. Low production combined with increased sales reduced domestic car inventories from
1,481,000 (seasonally adjusted) at the
end of the third quarter to 1,193,000
at the end of the fourth. The ratio of
inventories to sales fell from 3.2 to
2.3, a ratio close to that usually considered desirable by the industry. To
prevent further inventory liquidation,
production was raised to the level of
sales in the first quarter, and inventories edged up to about 1,250,000 at
the end of February. Second-quarter
production is scheduled at about the
same level as in the first, indicating
that automakers are cautious about
prospects for an immediate strong recovery in sales.




Total new truck sales changed little
from the 2.6 million units (seasonally
adjusted annual rate) registered in
the fourth quarter. Sales of both light
domestic trucks (up to 10,000 pounds)
and "other" domestic trucks (over
10,000 pounds) increased slightly,
from 1.9 to 2.0 million and from 0.17
to 0.18 million, respectively. Sales of
imported trucks receded from the 3year high of 0.54 million reached in
the fourth quarter. The course of
truck production paralleled that of
cars: down in the fourth quarter as
excess inventories were liquidated,
and up in the first to maintain the inventory-sales balance.

Preliminary estimates of corporate
profits for the fourth quarter of 1982
have been completed. Their compilation makes it possible to estimate corporate profits tax accruals for the
fourth quarter, rounding out the estimates of receipts and expenditures of
the government sector.
The 75-day revisions of the national
income and product accounts for the
fourth quarter are shown in table 3.
The revisions reduced the fourthquarter decline in real GNP from 2
percent to 1 percent. The largest revisions were upward in net exports
(largely in factor income) and downward in change in business inventories (larger liquidation in manufacturing).

NOTE.—For the fourth quarter of 1982, the following revised or additional major source data became available: For personal
consumption expenditures, revised retail sales for December, consumer share of new car purchases for December, and consumption
of electricity for December; for nonresidential fixed investment, revised manufacturers' shipments of equipment for December,
revised construction put in place for December, and business share of new car purchases for December; for residential investment,
revised construction put in place for December, and residential alterations and repairs for the quarter; for change in business
inventories, revised book values for manufacturing and trade for December; for net exports of goods and services, revised
merchandise trade and revised service receipts for the quarter; for government purchases of goods and services, revised
construction put in place for December; for wages and salaries, revised employment, average hourly earnings, and average weekly
hours for December; for net interest, financial assets held by households for the quarter, and revised net interest received from
abroad for the quarter; for corporate profits, domestic book profits and profits from the rest of the world for the quarter; and for
GNP prices, revised residential housing prices for the quarter, and revised producer price indexes for December.




Corporate profits from current production—profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments—increased $1% billion to $167^
billion in the fourth quarter of 1982,
following an $11 billion dollar increase in the third. In the fourth
quarter, a decrease in the domestic
profits of nonfinancial corporations
was more than offset by increases in
the profits of domestic financial corporations and profits from the rest of
the world.
Domestic profits of nonfinancial
corporations decreased $7 & billion to
$117% billion in the fourth quarter,
following an increase of $10% billion.
The decrease in domestic profits of
nonfinancial corporations was, in
turn, accounted for by a decrease in
manufacturing profits. Within manufacturing, profits of all major durables industries and most nondurables
industries decreased. The weakness in
manufacturing profits reflected decreases in the constant-dollar sales of
all major manufacturing industries.
In particular, a swing from profits to
losses for motor vehicle manufacturers reflected both a decrease in their
sales and the costs of consumer incentive programs, which were designed
to reduce large dealer inventories of
unsold motor vehicles. A sizable decrease in petroleum manufacturers'
profits reflected lower sales and, be-

March 1983

cause petroleum manufacturers extract a major share of domestic crude
oil, lower prices for crude oil.
Profits of nonfinancial nonmanufacturing corporations increased moderately, as increased profits of trade,
utilities, and "other" nonmanufacturing corporations more than offset decreased profits of transporation and
communication corporations. Airlines
registered increased losses despite increased revenue passenger miles and
a continued run-up of prices of regular tickets; the effects of intense competition on many major routes hurt
profits. Decreased profits of communication corporations resulted from
lower telephone and telegraph profits.
Much of the increase in trade profits
was accounted for by a swing from
losses to profits for auto dealers. This
swing reflected increased unit auto
sales, which resulted in part from the
manufacturer-supported consumer incentive programs.
Domestic profits of financial corporations increased $4 % billion to $29
billion in the fourth quarter, following an increase of $2% billion. The
fourth-quarter increase occurred as
savings and loan associations and
mutual savings banks registered reduced losses and profits of commercial
banks increased; these changes more
than offset decreased profits of Federal Reserve banks. (Federal Reserve
banks are treated as part of corporate
business in the national income and
product accounts.) The reduced losses
reflected the impact of decreasing interest rates, which lowered the cost of
attracting deposits. Savings and loan
associations registered very large net
inflows of deposits in December, as
Money Market Deposit Accounts
became available, after a number of
months of when withdrawals exceeded deposits. The effect of the inflows
into Money Market Deposit Accounts
on savings and loan associations' profits is not clear; many associations attracted deposits by initially offering
very high rates of interest.
Profits from the rest of the world
increased $4% billion in the fourth
quarter to $21 billion, following a decrease of $2 billion. Two-thirds of the
increase was due to an increase in
earnings on U.S. corporations' foreign
assets. An increase in earnings on




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
nonpetroleum operations, centered in
the European manufacturing operations of U.S. corporations, more than
offset a decrease in earnings on petroleum operations. The rest of the increase in profits from the rest of the
world was accounted for by a decrease
in the earnings on foreign corporations' U.S. assets. These earnings are
netted against U.S. corporations' foreign earnings in the calculation of
profits.
Other measures of profits.—Profits
before tax decreased $1% billion to
$179 billion in the fourth quarter, following an increase of $8% billion.
These profits exclude the inventory
valuation adjustment (IVA) and the
capital
consumption
adjustment
(CCAdj). Inventory profits—the IVA
with sign reversed—increased $2% billion to $12% billion in the fourth
quarter, following an increase of $1
billion. The profits component attributable to the misdepreciation of capital—the CCAdj with sign reversed—
registered a loss—that is, became negative—for the first time since the
second quarter of 1974.3 The fourthquarter loss was $1% billion, following
a profit of $4 billion in the third quarter. The swing reflected the effects of
provisions of the Economic Recovery
Tax Act of 1981 (ERTA), which permit
the use of relatively short service
lives for measuring the depreciation
on new capital (as reported to the Internal Revenue Service) used as a deduction from receipts in the calculation of corporate profits. As corporations depreciate increasing amounts
of capital using the relatively short
service lives, the component of the
CCAdj that adjusts depreciation to
consistent service lives becomes increasingly positive/The effects of
ERTA have progressively reduced
profits attributable to the misdepreciation of capital by somewhat more
than $2 billion per quarter beginning
with the first quarter of 1981. The
3. The capital consumption adjustment places the
using up in production of fixed capital on a consistent
basis with respect to service lives (85 percent of Internal Revenue Service Bulletin F for equipment and
nonresidential structures) and depreciation formulas
(straight line). It also values fixed capital used up in
production at replacement cost, the valuation concept
underlying national income accounting, rather than at
historical cost, the concept generally underlying business accounting.

swing to a loss was also consistent
with rates of inflation in prices for
fixed nonresidential investment that
were lower than those experienced
over the service lives of the assets.
Such lower rates of inflation lead to
less negative values for the portion of
the CCAdj that revalues fixed capital
used up in production at replacement
cost from historical cost.
Disposition of profits.—Corporate
profits taxes decreased $1% billion to
$59% billion in the fourth quarter, following an increase of $5% billion.
Dividends continued their 7-year uptrend in the fourth quarter, increasing $2 billion to $72 % billion, following an increase of $1 billion. Undistributed profits decreased $2 billion to
$47 billion, following an increase of $2
billion.
Government sector
The fiscal position of the government sector in the national income
and product accounts (NIPA's) continued to deteriorate in the fourth quarter, as the combined deficit of the
Federal government and the State
and local governments increased $43
billion. Compared with a year earlier,
the combined deficit increased substantially, from $72% billion to $166%
billion. All of this deterioration occurred at the Federal level, where the
deficit increased over $100 billion.
The Federal sector.—The Federal
Government deficit increased $47 billion in the fourth quarter, to $203 billion, reflecting a much larger increase
in expenditures than in receipts.
Receipts increased $2% billion, compared with a $3% billion decline in
the third quarter, when personal
income tax withholding rates were reduced for the second time under provisions of the Economic Recovery Tax
Act of 1981. In the fourth quarter, a
$3% billion increase in personal tax
and nontax receipts more than accounted for the increase in total receipts; all other categories declined on
balance. Corporate profits tax accruals declined $1% billion, reflecting the
decline in corporate profits. Indirect
business tax and nontax accruals
were down slightly, largely the net
result of a $1% billion decline in the
windfall profits tax and increases—$%
billion each—in tobacco and in air-

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
port and airway taxes. The increase
in tobacco taxes reflects a special tax
on cigarette floor stocks held at the
nonretail level provided for by the
Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility
Act of 1982; the increase in the airport and airway taxes reflects the
first full-quarter effect of increased
taxes provided for by the same act.
Expenditures increased $49% billion, compared with $33 billion in the
third quarter. Purchases of goods and
services increased $20 billion. Nondefense purchases, up $13 billion, included a $10% billion increase for agricultural purchases by the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC). A 4-percent pay raise in October and steppedup purchases for the strategic petroleum reserve contributed $% billion
each to the increase. National defense
purchases, up $7 billion, included $2
billion for the pay raise.
Transfer payments to persons increased $15% billion; $7% billion was
for social security benefits and $6 billion was for unemployment benefits.
The increase in social security benefits was unusually large, partly reflecting retroactive payments and resumption of payments to college students. Unemployment benefits were
boosted by the first full-quarter
impact of supplemental benefits; they
accounted for $4% billion of the increase in total unemployment benefits.




Subsidies less the current surplus of
government enterprises increased $9
billion. Agricultural subsidies accounted for $6% billion of the increase. Roughly one-quarter of the increase in agricultural subsidies was in
regularly scheduled deficiency payments for 1982 crops—mainly wheat
and cotton. Most of the remainder
was due to a speed-up in payments for
1982 crops—mainly corn and other
feed grains—that would otherwise
have been paid in the first quarter of
1983 and to diversion payments for
some 1983 crops. The CCC deficit increased $3 billion and the Postal Service deficit declined $% billion; the
latter largely reflected the absence of
an employee bonus paid in the third
quarter.
Grants-in-aid to State and local governments increased $2% billion. Increases in grants for education, public
assistance, and food and nutrition
were partly offset by declines in
grants for waste treatment and
health care.
On a high-employment budget
basis, the Federal fiscal position
moved from a deficit of $33 billion in
the third quarter to a deficit of $63
billion in the fourth quarter (table 3
on page 18). The high-employment
deficit as a percentage of potential
GNP increased from 1.0 percent in
the third quarter to 1.8 percent in the
fourth—a move toward a more expan-

March 1983

sionary fiscal position. As percentages
of potential GNP, high-employment
receipts did not change, but high-employment expenditures
increased
sharply from the third quarter to the
fourth.
The State and local sector.—The
State and local government surplus
increased $4% billion, as receipts increased more than expenditures. The
increase in the surplus was largely accounted for by a $3 billion decline in
the "all other" deficit; the surplus of
the social insurance funds continued
to increase.
Receipts increased $9% billion, compared with $6 billion in the third
quarter; a $5% billion swing in grantsin-aid more than accounted for the acceleration. Indirect business tax and
nontax accruals increased $5 billion,
including $3 billion for property
taxes. Personal tax and nontax receipts increased $1% billion and contributions about $1 billion.
Expenditures increased $5% billion,
compared with $6 billion in the third
quarter. Purchases of goods and services accounted for all of the increase;
all other expenditures, on balance,
were unchanged. Within purchases,
compensation increased $% billion
more than in the third quarter, partly
reflecting an increase in employment
other than in education. Construction
purchases declined $% billion, following an increase in the third quarter.

Summary of BE A Staff Paper
'Summary Input-Output Tables of the U.S. Economy:
1976, 1978, and 1979"
By Paula C. Young and Mark A. Planting
THIS paper presents summary (85-industry/commodity)
tables that are updates of the 1972 study. Of necessity,
they are based on information that is much less adequate
than that used in 1972, for which the economic censuses
are available. In addition to presenting the tables, the
paper describes the tables, explains their derivation, and
examines the changes in output requirements during the
1972-79 period that are revealed by the update estimates.

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

Table 5.8-5.9:
1. The IVA shown in this table differs from that which adjusts business income. The IVA in
this table reflects the mix of methods (first-in-first-out etc.) underlying book value inventories
derived primarily from Census Bureau Statistics. The mix differs from that underlying business
income derived primarily from Internal Revenue Service statistics.
2. Consists of personal consumption expenditures, producers' durable equipment, and government purchases.

NOTE.—The implicit price deflator for GNP is a weighted average of the detailed price indexes
used in the deflation of GNP. In each period, the weights are based on the composition of
constant-dollar output in that period. In other words, the price index for each item (1972=100)
is weighted by the ratio of the quantity of the item valued in 1972 prices to the total output in
1972 prices. Changes in the implicit price deflator reflect both changes in prices and changes in

the composition of output. The chain price index uses as weights the composition of output in
the prior period, and therefore reflects only the change in prices between the two periods.
However, comparisons of percent changes in the chain index also reflect changes in the
composition of output. The fixed-weighted price index uses as weights the composition of output
in 1972. Accordingly, comparisons over any time span reflect only changes in prices.

1982 spending. The year-to-year decline indicated by the latest survey is
only slightly different from that reported in the previous survey because
estimates of 1982 actual spending and
1983 planned spending were both revised down in the latest survey.1

The plans, after adjustment by BEA
for price changes, indicate a decline
in real spending of 3,8 percent in 1983
(table 2). Real spending declined 5.5
percent in 1982. BEA's latest estimates indicate that the price deflator

1. The results of this quarterly survey may differ
from the results of the annual survey released in January not only because of changes in the company reports, but also because of differences in the bias adjustment procedures. In the annual survey, 1983
spending plans for each major industry were adjusted
for systematic biases when planned spending deviated
from actual spending in the same direction in at least
5 of the last 7 years. When this criterion was met, an
adjustment was derived by taking the median deviation between planned and actual spending for the

-NoNFARM business in the United
States plans to spend $310.9 billion
for new plant and equipment in 1983,
1.7 percent less than in 1982, according to the BEA quarterly survey conducted in late January and February
(tables 1 and 9, and chart 3).
Spending totaled $316.4 billion in
1982, 1.6 percent less than in 1981.
The latest estimate of planned spending for 1983 is $4.8 billion lower than
that reported in the annual survey
conducted in late November and December 1982 and released in January.
That survey showed planned spending
of $315.7 billion for 1983, L3 percent
less than the preliminary estimate of

last 5 years. In the quarterly survey, spending plans
for each major industry were adjusted for systematic
biases for each time period within the year by taking
the median deviation between planned and actual
spending for that period in the preceding 8 years.
Before adjustment, planned spending for 1983 reported in the latest survey was $306.8 billion for total
nonfarm business, $120.5 billion for manufacturing,
and $186.3 billion for nonmanufacturing. The net
effect of the adjustments was to lower manufacturing
$4.60 billion and to raise nonmanufacturing $8.75 billion.

ness increased 4.5 percent in 1982,
and will increase 1.7 percent in 1983.
The latest projected increase in 1983
capital goods prices is lower than the
earlier estimate because the latest estimate incorporates the very small increase in capital goods prices in the
fourth quarter of 1982 and because
there are differences in the procedures used for the annual and quarterly surveys.2 (If the previous estimate were used to adjust the latest
survey results, a 5.9-percent decline
in real spending plans would be indicated for 1983.)
Current-dollar spending in the
fourth quarter of 1982 declined 4.1
percent from the third quarter, to an
annual rate of $302.8 billion, following a 2.3-percent decline in the third
quarter; fourth-quarter spending was
3.9 percent lower than planned spending reported 3 months ago. Plans indicate a 0.2-percent decline in the first
quarter of 1983, little change from the
first to the second quarter, and a 5.5percent increase from the first to the
second half of 1983.
In real terms, spending fell 4.2 percent in the fourth quarter of 1982, following a 2.2-percent decline in the
third quarter. Estimates indicate declines of 0.7 percent in each of the
first two quarters of 1983, and a 4.6percent increase from the first to the
second half of 1983.
Other highlights of the survey are:
• Manufacturers expect their sales
to increase 9,7 percent in 1983, compared with a decline of 5.4 percent in
1982. In nonmanufacturing, trade
firms expect an 8.3-percent increase,
compared with a decline of 1.4 percent last year. Public utility firms
expect a 14.6-percent increase, compared with 12.3 percent (table 3).
• The rate of capacity utilization
in manufacturing declined 1 point

2. To estimate real spending, the figures reported by
survey respondents are adjusted using implicit price
deflators for each industry prepared by BEA based on
unpublished data in the national income and product
accounts. The estimates of real planned spending for
1983 derived from the latest survey incorporate deflators extrapolated by BEA using the average rate of
change during the latest four quarters for which they
are available. The estimates of 1983 real spending released in January incorporated deflators extrapolated
by BEA using an estimate of the year-to-year change
in 1982 prices from 1981. For both surveys, the percentage changes in the deflators for 1983 were adjusted by the ratio of the expected 1983 price changes to
the estimated 1982 price changes reported by survey
respondents.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
from September to December 1982, to
68 percent (table 4 and chart 4). The
September-to-December decline continued the downward movement in
the utilization rate that began during
the third quarter of 1981; the December rate is 10 points below the rate in
June 1981.
• The value of new investment
projects started by manufacturers declined by $2.2 billion—or 8.7 percent—to $23.4 billion in the fourth
quarter; starts by public utilities declined in the fourth quarter to $4.6

billion, compared with $10.1 billion in
the third quarter (table 5).
• Current-dollar spending for new
plant declined 5.9 percent in the
fourth quarter; spending for new
equipment declined 2.8 percent (table
6). In real terms, plant spending declined 6.2 percent and equipment, 3.1
percent.
The planned 1.7-percent decline in
1983 current-dollar spending is the
first decline in annual plans reported
in the January-February survey since
1963. Experience since 1970 indicates
that spending plans reported in the
January-February surveys differed
from actual spending by an average of
about 3 percentage points. Plans understated actual spending in 6 of the
13 years and overstated spending in 7
years. The weakness in investment in-

For the year 1983, manufacturers

dicated by the latest spending plans is
consistent with other indicators of
future investment activity reported in
the BEA survey—capacity utilization,
manufacturing starts, and manufacturers' facility needs. Furthermore,
despite fourth-quarter increases in
capital appropriations in manufacturing and in new orders for nondefense capital goods, these measures
are still well below their peaks
reached in the second quarter of 1981.

1. Seasonal factors are applied to each quarter separately; the average of the seasonally adjusted current-dollar quarterly estimates is not forced to equal the unadjusted annual value.
2. Estimates are based on planned capital expenditures reported by business in late January
and February 1983. The planned expenditures are adjusted for systematic biases in reporting.
The adjustment procedures are described in the October 1980 SURVEY. Before adjustment, plans
for 1983 were $306.78 billion for total nonfarm business, $120.51 billion for manufacturing, and
$186.27 billion for nonmanufacturing.

7. Procedures for preparing constant-dollar estimates are described in the September 1981
SURVEY. Constant-dollar estimates for the third quarter have been revised to reflect new price
deflators based on revisions in the national income and product account data. To estimate real
spending plans, BEA adjusts the survey results for assumed price changes.

rous metals, 12.2 percent; fabricated
metals, 9.7 percent; aircraft, 8.1 percent; and petroleum, 7.9 percent. The
decline in petroleum spending is principally in refining and marketing activities (table 7). A sizable increase,
8.0 percent, is planned by rubber.
Real spending for the year 1983 is
estimated to decline 4.3 percent from
1982, with declines of 4.8 percent in
durables and 3.7 percent in nondurables. In 1982, durables declined 10.1
percent and nondurables, 7.2 percent.
Manufacturers started new investment projects during the fourth quarter of 1982 totaling $23.4 billion—8.7
percent less than in the third quarter.
Sizable declines in paper, electrical
machinery,
petroleum,
primary
metals, and transportation more than
offset increases in chemicals, nonelectrical machinery, and food-beverage.
The value of new projects started
by manufacturers in the fourth quarter was less than their capital expenditures, resulting in a decline in carryover—the amount still to be spent
on plant and equipment projects underway. Carryover totaled $79.1 billion at the end of December, $4.2 billion less than at the end of September. Durable goods carryover declined
$1.9 billion, and nondurables, $2.3 billion.
Capacity utilization
The 1-point decline in the manufacturing utilization rate, from 69 percent in September to 68 percent in
December, was widespread. Durables
declined 2 points, to 63 percent, and
nondurables declined 1 point, to 73
percent. Among major industry
groups, petroleum reported the larg-

est decline, 6 points, to 69 percent.
Primary metals, nonelectrical machinery, and chemicals each declined
3 points, to 45, 76, and 66 percent, respectively. Motor vehicles, aircraft,
stone-clay-glass, and paper reported 2point declines, to 56, 67, 62, and 79
percent, respectively. Rubber increased 3 points, to 73 percent. Other
major industries reported little or no
change from their September rates.
The utilization rates for primaryand advanced-processed goods industries each declined 2 points, to 64 and
69 percent, respectively.
The rate reported by large-sized
firms for December declined 3 points,
to 67 percent. The rates for mediumand small-sized firms were unchanged
at 70 and 67 percent, respectively.
Manufacturers also evaluated the
adequacy of their facilities in light of
their current and prospective sales for
the next 12 months and reported
little change (table 8). Companies
owning 20 percent of fixed assets reported a need for more facilities as of
the end of December, the same proportion as at the end of September.
Companies owning 51% percent of
fixed assets reported that facilities
were about adequate, a decline of onehalf of 1 percentage point from September; the proportion of companies
owning facilities that exceeded needs
increased slightly, to 28 percent.

percent decline in the third. Mining,
gas utilities, and services reported the
largest fourth-quarter declines, while
air transportation and railroads reported sizable increases. Nonmanufacturing firms expect a 1.7-percent decline in spending in the first quarter
of 1983 and a 0.8-percent increase in
the second. Plans for the second half
imply an average quarterly increase
of about 3.5 percent.
For 1983, nonmanufacturing industries plan to spend $195.0 billion, 0.9
percent less than they spent in 1982;
their spending increased 1.1 percent
in 1982. The largest declines for 1983
are planned in air transportation,
15.3 percent; gas utilities, 7.5 percent;
"other transportation," 4.8 percent;
and railroads, 4.0 percent. Smaller declines are planned in "communication
and other" and electric utilities.
Mining plans spending at about the
same level as last year and trade and
services plans a 1.0-percent increase.
Real spending for year 1983 is estimated to decline 3.6 percent from
1982. The largest decline is in transportation, 10.6 percent. Smaller declines are estimated in "communication and other," public utilities, and
trade and services. Because of a projected decline in the implicit price deflator for mining, a small increase in
real spending is estimated.

by public utilities totaled $4.6 billion
in the fourth quarter, compared with

Capital Expenditures by Majority-Owned Foreign
Affiliates of U.S. Companies, 1983

MAJORITY-OWNED foreign affiliates of U.S. companies plan capital
expenditures of $41.8 billion in 1983,
almost unchanged from 1982. Last
year, spending declined 5 percent, following a 3-percent increase in 1981
(table 1 and chart 5).1
Largely as a result of depressed economic conditions worldwide, corporate
illiquidity, and high interest rates,
spending appears to have leveled off
in 1981-83, after record increases in
1979 and 1980. The increases in 1979
and 1980 were largely attributable to
manufacturing affiliates, particularly
transportation equipment manufacturers that were constructing new
facilities (see later discussion). In
1980, spending was also boosted by petroleum affiliates, partly because of
expectations of continued high returns on investment following the
near-doubling of crude oil prices in
1979.
The latest estimate for 1982, based
on the BE A survey taken in December 1982, is much lower than the estimate based on the survey taken 6
months earlier, which indicated expenditures would increase 6 percent.
The latest estimate for 1983 is also
NOTE.—Patricia E. DiVenuti and Edward L.
Simons assisted in preparing the estimates.
Smith W. Allnutt III designed the computer
programs for data retrieval and analysis.
1. Capital expenditure estimates are for majorityowned nonbank foreign affiliates of nonbank U.S. parents. (An affiliate is majority owned when the combined ownership of all U.S. parents exceeds 50 percent.) Capital expenditures are expenditures that are
made to acquire, add to, or improve property, plant,
and equipment, and that are charged to capital accounts. They are on a gross basis; sales and other dispositions of fixed assets are not netted against them.
Capital expenditures are reported to BEA in current
dollars; they are not adjusted for price changes in host
countries or for changes in the value of foreign currencies, because the data needed for these adjustments
are unavailable.




lower than the earlier one; the yearto-year percentage change is the
same, however, because it is calculated from the lower 1982 base.
By area, affiliates in developed
countries plan a 1-percent increase in
spending, to $29.1 billion, compared
with an 8-percent decline in 1982. In
developing countries, a planned 4-percent increase, to $11.8 billion, follows
a 2-percent increase. Affiliates in "international"—those that have operations spanning more than one country and that are engaged in petroleum shipping, other water transportation, petroleum trading, or operating oil and gas drilling equipment
that is moved from country to country during the year—plan to cut
spending nearly two-fifths, to $0.9 billion, after an 8-percent increase.
Petroleum
This year's 3-percent reduction, to
$17.2 billion, in planned spending by
petroleum affiliates reflects the
worldwide weakening of petroleum
markets, which has partly resulted
from depressed economic conditions
and continued energy conservation
and substitution. Also, some U.S. petroleum companies may be shifting
some spending from abroad to the
United States, partly in response to
decontrol of domestic oil prices and
the granting of exploration and production rights in previously restricted

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

year reflected spending on several upstream and downstream projects.
In the North Sea area, British affiliates plan to cut spending 7 percent, to $3.5 billion, after a 9-percent
decline/This year's spending partly
reflects the oil companies' response to
falling oil prices and a smaller-thanexpected decline in taxation on North
Sea operations. Norwegian affiliates
plan an increase of 4 percent, to $1.4
billion, following a 15-percent increase. This year's increase—the
smallest in a decade—reflects a slowdown in the pace of development of
some offshore oilfields and gasfields.
In developing countries, affiliates
plan a 4-percent increase, to $6.2 billion, following an 18-percent increase
last year. The largest increase this
year is in "other Asia and Pacific,"
mostly in Indonesia and Malaysia; it
is for continued development of offshore oilfields and gasfields. Partly
offsetting is a decline in "other
Africa," largely in Cameroon, which
reflects a slowdown in oilfield development.
Affiliates in "international" plan to
cut their spending about in half, to
$0.6 billion, after a 24-percent increase last year. Reduced spending for
both tankers and offshore drilling
platforms is planned.

billion, follows a 27-percent decline.
Beginning in the late 1970's, affiliates
in this industry undertook massive
new programs involving construction
of assembly and parts production
facilities for "world cars." Consequently, these affiliates' expenditures
increased from an average of 6.7 percent of total expenditures in 1970-78,
to 9.7 percent in 1979-83. Their expenditures rose from an average of
$1.2 billion in 1970-78 to $3.9 billion
in 1979-83. The declines in spending
planned in 1982 and 1983 largely
result from the completion of some
new facilities and the deferral of
nonessential spending due to the current weak worldwide demand for
autos.
In developed countries, manufacturing affiliates plan a 4-percent increase
in spending, to $13.6 billion, following
a 15-percent decline in 1982. Canadian affiliates plan a 6-percent increase,
to $3.0 billion, after a 27-percent decline. The largest increase is in transportation equipment; it reflects increased spending on a new van and
bus manufacturing facility.
In Europe, spending increases of 35
percent by French affiliates, to $1.4
billion, and 4 percent by British affiliates, to $2.6 billion, are centered in
nonelectrical machinery; they largely
reflect increased capitalization of
computers for rental. French manufacturers recently sharply cut back
their 1982, but not 1983, spending
plans. German affiliates plan a 10percent increase, to $2.5 billion; a
small decline in primary and fabricated metals is more than offset by increases in every other manufacturing
industry. In "other Europe," affiliates
plan to cut spending over two-fifths,
to $0.8 billion. The cut is almost en-

Manufacturing

Manufacturing affiliates plan a 3percent increase in spending, to $17.2
billion, after a decline of 13 percent.
Although all industries except transportation equipment plan increases,
affiliates in nonelectrical machinery,
especially computer manufacturers,
plan a particularly large increase.
In transportation equipment, a 10percent decline in spending, to $3.4




March 1983

tirely due to the completion of transportation equipment manufacturing
facilities in Spain and Austria in
1982.
In developing countries, affiliates
plan a 3-percent spending rise, to $3.6
billion, after a 6-percent decline last
year. The largest rise is in Brazil; it
reflects expansion by a bauxite
mining and aluminum manufacturing
affiliate. Partly offsetting is a decline
in Mexico, where spending for a new
engine manufacturing plant was
higher in 1982 than in 1983.
Other industries
Mining affiliates plan to cut spending 38 percent, to $0.5 billion, after a
slightly larger cut last year. The cuts
in both years are centered in Australia, mostly in bauxite mining, and in
Canada, mostly in coal mining last
year and potash mining this year. In
part, they reflect the completion of
some smelter renovation and expansion projects and the deferral of
others because of depressed mineral
demand.
Trade affiliates plan an 11-percent
increase this year, to $4.0 billion. The
increase, which is widespread among
areas, is mostly by affiliates that
market computers.
Spending by affiliates in finance
(except banking), insurance, and real
estate is to remain at $0.3 billion in
1983; small changes among several
countries are offsetting.
Affiliates in "other industries"—agriculture, construction, transportation, communication, public utilities,
and other services—plan a 3-percent
increase, to $2.7 billion. The increase
is centered in Hong Kong and is
largely for electric powerplant construction.

Net Exports of Goods and Services, 1980-82

THE exchange of goods and

services
between the United States and foreign countries has been strongly affected in recent years by recessions in
the United States and abroad; by
changes in the value of the dollar relative to foreign currencies; and record
high interest rates and financial innovations. Developments are discussed
each quarter in the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS from the perspective of
the U.S. international transactions accounts (hereafter called balance of
payments accounts, BPA's). This
SURVEY, for example, contains a discussion of the fourth quarter and year
1982, The purpose of this article about
net exports is to review developments
from the perspective of the national
income
and
product accounts
(NIPA's). In particular, the review
will be in terms of constant-dollar estimates. (Quarterly constant-dollar estimates, expanded two years ago,
appear in tables 4.2 and 44 in the National Income and Product Accounts
Tables.)
The first section of the article provides definitions and a summary
methodology. Its primary purpose is
to present material that is basic to
the use of a set of estimates on which
attention has focused recently. A secondary purpose is to facilitate use of
both the NIPA's and BPA's by noting
the similarities and differences between the parts of the two sets of accounts that cover the same area of
economic activity. Because the adjustment for price change is a distinguishing feature of the estimates discussed in this article and because the
adjustment is not conceptually clear
cut in all cases, let alone statistically
perfect, the methodology will emphasize deflation procedures.




The next two sections discuss movements in net exports in 1980-82: the
halving of net exports from the first
quarter of 1980 to the fourth quarter
of 1982, almost all due to a decline in
exports; the atypicality of this pattern
during an economic downturn; the
shift in the composition of net exports
away from merchandise and toward
factor income, and, within the latter,
away from corporate profits and
toward interest; and the factors underlying these developments. These
factors include the general ones mentioned above and the pervasive influence of petroleum. The discussion
begins with an overview of these developments and then proceeds to
detail by component.
The last section discusses two supplementary measures of constantdollar net exports. One, based on an
alternative deflation procedure, shows
that the quantity of goods and services that the United States can purchase with the proceeds of its exports
held up better than did the conventional measure of net exports. The
other shows that imports declined
much more if expressed in 1981 dollars, rather than in 1972 dollars.
Definitions and methodology

The net exports component of GNP
is exports of goods and services from
the United States less imports of
goods and services into the United
States. Goods and services exported
are part of U.S. production and thus
must be included in accounting for
production. Goods and services imported, because they are included in
the type-of-purchaser categories (for
example, personal consumption expenditures), must be subtracted be-

cause they are not part of U.S. production. Conventionally, the subtraction is from exports, and the resulting
net measure is of interest, particularly in evaluating aspects of the U.S.
economic position relative to that of
foreigners.
The net exports measure shown in
the NIPA's is related to one of the
balances included in the BPA presentations. As shown in table 1 of the
Reconciliation and Other Special
Tables, on page 18, the BPA balance
on goods and services differs from
NIPA net exports because: (1) the
treatments of nonmonetary gold
differ; (2) the NIPA's exclude capital
gains net of losses from the income of
foreign affiliates of U.S. parent companies and of U.S. affiliates of foreign
parent companies; (3) the NIPA's exclude statistical revisions already incorporated in the BPA's; (4) the
NIPA's exclude interest paid by the
U.S. Government on its liabilities to
foreign governments, businesses, and
persons (and account for it instead
like a transfer payment); and (5) the
treatments of unusual transactions
may differ. In recent years such unusual transactions, which are shown
in the table as "other items," were
arms shipments to Israel financed
under the Emergency Security Act of
1973 and subsequent legislation. In
the BPA's, the shipments are included in exports; in the NIPA's, they are
excluded from exports and accounted
for instead as government purchases
when acquired by the U.S. Government. *

By far the largest of these reconciliation items is the NIPA exclusion of
interest paid by the U.S. Government.
In recent years, it has increased
sharply—from $12.5 billion in 1980 to
$18.0 billion in 1982. In that year, it
accounted for most of the difference
between the BPA balance on goods
and services and NIPA net exports;
the other items, each $1.5 billion or
less, were partially offsetting.
Definitions.—A basic classification
within the NIPA estimates of exports
and imports is: (1) merchandise, or
goods; (2) factor income, or payments
for the services of factors of production; and (3) other services. Within
the three categories, the content of
items is the same, with the exceptions
just noted, as that of corresponding
BPA items.2 (See, for example, table 1
of the BPA presentation.)
2. The three NIPA categories consist of the following items from BPA table 1: merchandise, lines 2 and
18; factor income, lines 11-15, 27-30, and the small
amount of labor compensation hi lines 9 and 25; other
services, lines 3-10 and 19-26, less the small amounts
of labor compensation in lines 9 and 25. (Line 31 is interest paid by the U.S. Government to foreigners,
which is excluded from NIPA imports.)
Because of the similarity of content, the line-by-line
definitions for BPA table 1 in the "Explanatory




Merchandise consists of movable
goods (other than those associated
with transactions of U.S. defense
agencies) that are sold, given away, or
otherwise transferred from U.S. to
foreign or from foreign to U.S. ownership.
Factor income consists of labor and
property income, measured as compensation of employees, net interest,
and corporate profits. Compensation
of employees, which is small and
stable enough to be ignored for most
purposes, consists of the compensation
paid to those crossing the U.S.-Canadian or U.S.-Mexican border to work
and to U.S. residents temporarily
working abroad and to foreigners
temporarily working in the United
States. Interest consists of interest
flowing between parent businesses
and their affiliates, and interest on
debt securities, loans, deposits, and
other claims. Profits consist of divi-

dends, earnings of unincorporated affiliates, and reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates.3
Other services include a number of
items: U.S. Government transactions,
largely those of defense agencies;
travel expenditures (lodging, food, internal transportation, personal purchases, and related items); passenger
fares for ocean and air transportation;
other
transportation
(including
freight, port expenditures, and
charters and rentals); fees and royalties for use or sale of intangibles such
as patents and trademarks, for rental
of tangible property, and for certain
services rendered; and other private
services, such as reinsurance, technical services, and communications.
Usually the content and classifications of exports and imports are symmetrical: A given item appears both
as an export and as an import, and is
classified in the same way in both

Notes" of the June 1978 SURVEY (Part II) can be used
for the NIPA items. Also, the BPA service items,
which include both NIPA factor income and other
services, are described in detail in Anthony J. DiLullo,
"Service Transactions in the U.S. International Accounts, 1970-80," SURVEY 61 (November 1981): 29-46.

3. For a discussion of reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates, which were introduced as a component of rest-of-the-world corporate profits in the comprehensive revision of the NIPA's completed in 1980,

Accounts," SURVEY 62 (September 1982): 6-7.

cases. For example, travel expenditures appear both as an export and as
an import, and are classified as a
service in both. As a result, a number
of net measures (or balances), calculated as the export less the corresponding import, may be assembled
for components of exports and imports. An example of such a balance
is that on factor income. This balance
is identical to the rest-of-the-world
sector in presentations of GNP by
sector. In this context, it is the difference between GNP—that is, gross national product—and gross domestic
product, and is of interest in showing
the part of national production originating in the rest of the world.4
Methodology. —Current-dollar estimates of exports and imports are prepared as part of the BPA's and are incorporated, with the necessary reconciliations, into the NIPA's. For example, the estimates for the fourth quarter of 1982 shown in the National
Income and Product Accounts Tables
in this issue of the SURVEY are the
same as the corresponding estimates
that appear in "International Transactions Accounts, Fourth Quarter and
Year 1982."5 (The NIPA currentdollar estimates of net exports in this
issue are second-revision estimates for
the fourth quarter of 1982. The NIPA
estimates that appeared before the
BPA estimates became available—the
estimates for the fourth quarter that
appeared in the January and February issues—were based on incomplete
information supplemented by assumptions.)
Constant-dollar
estimates—often
called "real" or "deflated" estimates—are estimates from which
price change has been removed. For
these estimates, a component is
valued at its price in a valuation
(base) year—at present, the year 1972,
and hence the expression "1972 dollars." Statistically, most constantdollar estimates are obtained by dividing detailed current-dollar components by appropriate price indexes,
with 1972=100.
4. For definitions of "national" and "domestic," and
of others such as "gross" and "net," see "The National
Income and Product Accounts of the United States:
An Overview," SURVEY 61 (February 1981): 28-34.
5. For the sources and methods from which the current-dollar estimates are derived, reference can be
made to BPA documentation. See the "Explanatory
Notes," SURVEY 58 (June 1978, Part II): 8-15 and 48,
for a summary methodology.

Within other services, current-dollar
estimates of U.S. government transactions, largely transfers under U.S.
military sales contracts and direct defense expenditures abroad, are based
mainly on reports from the Department of Defense. The transfers, which
are exports, are deflated by type of
product using implicit price deflators
prepared for the national defense purchases component of government purchases, and the direct defense expenditures, which are imports, are deflated by the national defense deflators and foreign consumer price Indexes. Travel expenditures, based on
data on number of travelers and average expenditures, are deflated by consumer price indexes for the countries
in which the goods were purchased.
Passenger fares, based on the number
of travelers and average round-trip
fares, are deflated by price indexes
derived from information on average
fares as reported by travelers and
published fares. For other transportation, freight charges and port expenditures in a base year are moved by
volume indexes. For the remaining
services, no directly relevant price information is available; they are deflated by the implicit price deflator
for gross domestic product because
they closely resemble factor services.
As noted earlier, the preparation of
the constant-dollar estimates for the
other services category in this detail
is for annual estimates. For current
quarters, constant-dollar estimates
are prepared only for the total, using
an extrapolation of the implicit price
deflator for the total.
1980-82: An Overview
From early 1980 to the end of 1982,
constant-dollar net exports plummeted (chart 6 and table I).8 Technically,
a peak was reached in the second
quarter of 1980, at $53.2 billion. (The
third quarter, $0.1 billion lower, was,
given measurement error, the same.)
However, the first quarter, when net
exports were $50.5 billion, will be
used as the initial period for comparisons, for two reasons. First, both ex-

March 1983

ports and imports, after trending up,
reversed direction in that quarter.
Second, the U.S. economy, as measured by real GNP, was at a peak in
that quarter. After mid-1980, net exports turned down (with only two onequarter interruptions), reaching $27.2
billion in the fourth quarter of 1982—
a drop of almost one-half over 3 years.
Exports, at $164.4 billion in the
first quarter of 1980, declined to
$155.1 billion by the end of that year,
increased to a quarterly average of
$159.5 billion in the first half of 1981,
and then declined steadily (except in
the second quarter of 1982) to $138.8
in the fourth quarter of 1982. Over
the 3 years, the decline was $25.6 billion and more than accounted for the
decline in net exports. Imports, at
$113.9 billion in the first quarter of
1980, declined to $102.8 billion in the
third quarter, and then resumed an
uptrend, reaching $120.4 billion in the
fourth quarter of 1981. In 1982, imports dropped about $6 billion in the
first quarter, recovered that amount
over the second and third quarters,
and then declined $8.4 billion in the
fourth quarter to $111.6 billion/Over
the 3 years, imports were down $2.3
billion.

If 1980-82 is treated as a single economic downturn, as may be argued is
reasonable because real GNP in the
fourth quarter of 1982 remained well
below its 1980 peak, the direction of
these changes is atypical. Usually, net
exports have increased during downturns, as exports increased and imports decreased. As shown in table 2,
this was the pattern of the downturns
of the 1960's and 1970's. The 1980-82
decline in net exports was $2.1 billion
per quarter, in contrast to an increase
of $1.8 billion in the three preceding
downturns. Exports and, to a smaller
extent, imports contributed to the
atypical pattern: exports registered a
decline of $2.3 billion per quarter, in
contrast to a $0.6 billion increase; imports registered a small decline ($0.2
billion per quarter), in contrast to a
$1.2 billion decline.
The table also shows two subperiods
that are usually designated recessions. In the two-quarter recession of
1980, exports—rather than increasing—declined sharply. Imports declined, and even more sharply, so that
the net increased. For the recession
that began in the third quarter of
1981, exports again declined sharply,
but this time far more than imports,

so that the net, too, declined—$12.0
billion over the next five quarters.
An approximate measure of the
effect on the rate of change in GNP of
disproportionate changes in net exports is obtained by comparing rates
of change of GNP—referred to as
gross national product in this section
to emphasize its nature—and gross
domestic purchases. The latter is a
measure of purchases within the
boundaries of the United States and
is equal to gross national product less
exports plus imports—in other words,
it differs from gross national product
by the amount of net exports. (Gross
domestic purchases—dollar amounts
and percent change from the preceding period—are shown in tables 1.31.4 and 8.1 in the National Income
and Product Accounts Tables.) As
shown in column 4 of table 3, in all
except two quarters in 1980-82, the
disproportionate changes in net exports reduced the rate of increase or
added to the rate of decline in gross
national product. In two quarters,
those when the difference between
the annual rates of increase exceeded
2 percentage points, the effect was
substantial. Over the period as a
whole, gross national product declined
at an average annual rate of 0.4 percent and gross domestic purchases increased at an average annual rate of
0.1 percent. The difference between
the two rates indicates that net exports reduced the average annual rate
of increase in gross national product
by approximately 0.5 percentage
points over the period.
Another way of accounting for the
decline in net exports is in terms of
three balances (table 1). The merchandise balance accounted for about fourfifths of the decline from the first
quarter of 1980—$19.4 billion of the
$23.3 billion. The factor-income balance, down $5.2 billion, accounted for
about one-fifth. The balance on other
services was up, about $1 billion.
The composition of net exports in
terms of these balances can be
thought of as weights helping to
assess the importance of the several
factors influencing net exports at a
point of time. As will be brought out
in the discussion that follows, the balances are affected by different factors
or, if by the same factors, to different
extents and in differing ways. The

chandise accounted for 33 percent of
net exports in the first quarter of
1980. By the fourth quarter of 1982,
the balance was negative, —$2.8 billion, within net exports of $27.2 billion. In recessions the percentage of
net exports accounted by this balance
has usually increased, rather than declined. The decline is consistent, however, with a trend: After each cyclical
increase over the last 20 years (except
around 1970, when the balance was
negative), the percentage was lower
than after the preceding one, falling
from 80 percent in 1961 to 50 percent
in 1975. The Offsetting increase was
shared by the balances on factor
income and other services. The percent accounted for by the balance on
factor income increased from 57 percent to 86 percent in the fourth quarter of 1982, when the balance was
$23.4 billion. This percentage has declined in recessions, but has not
shown a trend. The balance of other
services, which had generally been
negative until 1974, accounted for
about 10 percent of net exports in the

first quarter of 1980. By the fourth
quarter of 1982, when it was $6.5 billion, it accounted for about 25 percent.
1980-82: Detail
In this section, the changes in the
balances on merchandise, factor
income, and other services will be related to general factors, such as levels
of economic activity, foreign exchange
rates, and financial developments,
and to specific developments or
events.
Merchandise.—The $19.4 billion
drop in the merchandise balance from
the first quarter of 1980 to the fourth
quarter of 1982 was more than accounted for by exports. Exports declined $20.7 billion, about 22 percent;
most of the decline was after mid1981 (chart 7). Merchandise imports,
which declined early in the period but
then moved irregularly higher until
near its end, were down only $1.3 billion, about 2 percent.
The percent decline in merchandise
exports was much larger than that in
the total of goods produced in the
United States (4 percent), and production for export became a smaller part
of total goods production. Exports accounted for about 14 percent of the
goods component of GNP in early
1980, but by the end of 1982 the percentage had declined 2.5 points. A decline in this percentage is unusual in
a recession and, as well, goes contrary
to trend. At the cyclical peak in 1960,

exports accounted for only about 7
percent of GNP goods, and there has
been a fairly steady uptrend since. In
contrast, the percent decline in imports was only slightly larger than
that in the total of goods purchased in
the United States (1 percent). Import
penetration was about the same in
the fourth quarter of 1982 as in the
first quarter of 1980, when it was 11.6
percent. This percentage also is about
double the percentage at the peak in
1960.
As will be seen, recessions here and
abroad and changes in the value of
the dollar relative to other currencies
were major factors affecting merchandise. As shown in the lower panel of
chart 8, the dollar had depreciated
during the late 1970's, with the result
that U.S. merchandise became progressively less expensive to foreigners
and foreign merchandise became
more expensive to Americans. Beginning in late 1980, the dollar appreciated strongly (except in late 1981)
through the end of 1982. Against the
currencies of 22 countries of the Organization for Economic Cooperation
and Development (OECD), on a tradeweighted basis, the dollar appreciated
almost 36 percent from the third
quarter of 1980 to the fourth quarter
of 1982. As a result, U.S. merchandise
became more expensive and foreign
goods less expensive.
The resulting tendency for exports
to decline, with some lag, was compounded by the effect of depressed or
declining levels of economic activity
of U.S. trading partners. As shown in
the upper panel of chart 8, industrial
production in Japan and Canada
turned down in mid-1980, recovered
modestly, and turned down again in
1982, and in European OECD countries, after a peak early in 1980, declined and remained depressed. The
effect on imports of the U.S. recessions countered the tendency of imports to increase—again with a lag—
due to the dollar's appreciation. The
uptrend in imports was interrupted
during the brief but sharp recession
in 1980 and the sharper and more
prolonged one in 1981-82.
Chart 9 shows exports by end-use
category. Each of the six categories
declined from the first quarter of 1980
to the fourth quarter of 1982, by
amounts ranging from about 10 to 40
percent. The decline in capital goods,

except automotive, was the largest decline in dollars—$10.2 billion, one-half
of the total decline—and among the
sharpest in percentage terms (29 percent). Reduced investment activity,
first in Europe and more recently in
developing countries, and the effect of
the dollar's appreciation on price competitiveness were factors. Further,
aircraft shipments, which had been
well-maintained through mid-1981 as
foreign fleets were being rebuilt,
dropped sharply thereafter and accounted for a sizable part of the total
decline.

and trucks to Canada, which account
for the bulk of exports of finished vehicles, were affected by the Canadian
recessions. Exports of parts to
Canada, a substantial part of which
are for assembly in Canada and
return to the United States as finished vehicles, reflected the weakness
of the auto markets in both countries
in 1982.




Industrial supplies and materials,
down $2.8 billion (12 percent), also
showed sensitivity to economic conditions abroad and the dollars' value—
the potential effect of the latter underscored by the homogeneity of
many commodities in this category.
Among them, exports of iron and
steel products and steel-making materials and of nonferrous metals fell in
1982. The fall in steel products also
reflected a worldwide slowing in oil
well drilling. In contrast, energy exports — petroleum and petroleum products as well as coal—were up. Exports
of petroleum products stepped up following removal of export restrictions
in March 1981.
Consumer goods were down $2.4 billion (25 percent). The decline was in
durable goods; after a spike in the
first quarter of 1980 due to numismatic coins, they declined steadily; nondurable goods, although registering
the impact of recession abroad,
changed little. The smallest percentage decline among end-use categories
was in foods, feeds, and beverages,
down $1.6 billion (11 percent). Part of
the decline can be traced to the embarbo on shipments to the Soviet
Union imposed in January 1980—
shipments of corn, wheat, and soybeans in 1980 were less than onethird their 1979 volume—and the
strained trade relations thereafter
that led the Soviet Union to limit its
purchases of U.S. grain. In addition,
in the face of record world supplies —
for example, in corn and wheat— and
weakening demand in 1982, price
competition intensified; other exporters appear to have stepped up marketing efforts, offering favorable
credit terms and export subsidies,
while the appreciation of the dollar
made U.S. products relatively more
expensive. Other exports— a small
but, in recent years, volatile category
that includes reexports of foreign
merchandise
from
the
United
States—declined $0.5 billion (12 perChanges from the first quarter of
1980 to the fourth quarter of 1982 in
the end-use categories of imports were
more diverse than in exports; declines
in some categories were almost offset
by increases in others (chart 10). Petroleum and petroleum products were
down $2.7 billion (34 percent), reflecting both the U.S. recessions and eon-

tinuing efforts to conserve energy.
(Because international trade in petroleum is largely denominated in dollars, the dollar's appreciation was not
a factor.) The decline was in part a reponse to continued price increases. In
1979, OPEC initiated the second "oil
price shock/' and the average price
per barrel was run up to $28.06 in the
first quarter of 1980 and to $35.62 in
the second quarter of 1981. Thereafter, with a worldwide glut of oil
adding to competition among producers, prices fell, reaching $30.98 in the
fourth quarter of 1982.
Over 1980-82, petroleum imports
more than accounted for the decline
in total imports. Excluding petroleum,
imports were up $1.4 billion, or 2.0
percent.
Two categories—capital
goods, except autos, and consumer
goods—continued uptrends, but with
interruptions traceable to the U.S. recessions. Capital goods were up $2.2
billion (14 percent) and consumer

38

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

goods were up $1.1 billion (7 percent).
In capital goods, electronic equipment
and components and business equipment accounted for most of the increase. In consumer goods, both durable and nondurable goods registered
the interruptions; a strengthening in
nondurables after mid-1981 maintained the uptrend in the total.
The impact of the recessions was
also evident in nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials. With
sharp drops in early 1980 and in 1982,
this category declined $2.0 billion (11
percent). Iron and steel imports, after
a decline in 1980, increased substantially through the first quarter of
1982, in part reflecting the enhanced
competitiveness in the U.S. market of
European iron and steel following the
dollar's appreciation. Thereafter, imports were slowed by a dispute between the European Communities
and the United States over subsidies.
Three end-use categories showed
considerable quarterly irregularity,
and the impact of general factors is
hard to discern: Autos were down $1.1
billion (10 percent); foods, feeds, and
beverages were up $0.6 billion (9 percent); and other imports—a category
consisting largely of low-value shipments and U.S. goods returned—were
up $0.7 billion (32 percent). The Japanese auto agreements, negotiated to
hold Japanese imports at 1.68 million
units for the year beginning April 1,
1981 and subsequently extended for
another year, influenced both the
level and quarter-to-quarter movements. During 1982, fluctuations in
auto imports from Canada reflected
an increase in shipments of large
cars, in response to a shift in U.S.
demand; the second-quarter opening
of a facility to build engines; and anticipation of a strike in September at
the expiration of a labor agreement.
Factor income.—The $5.2 billion decline in the balance on factor income
from the first quarter of 1980 to the
fourth quarter of 1982 was more than
accounted for by a $5.9 billion decline
in exports, that is, receipts of income
for factor services provided by U.S.
residents (table 4). Within the period,
the pattern of functuations of receipts
and payments was similar, but with
payments better maintained (chart 7).
Within factor income, the decline
was in the balance on corporate profits, down $10.6 billion; the balance on
interest was up $5.4 billion. As a

result of these changes, a shift in the
composition of the factor-income balance, which had been gradual in the
last half of the 1970's, became pronounced. In the first quarter of 1980,
the balance on interest accounted for
28 percent of the total, and by the
fourth quarter of 1982, it accounted
for 57 percent.
The relative strengthening of interest income points to the growing role
of interest rates as one of the general
determinants of the course of factor
income. Levels of economic activity in
the United States and abroad as well
as changes in the value of the dollar
were other general determinants.
Further, developments in the petroleum industry significantly affected
corporate profits and strong increases
in outstanding claims and liabilities
significantly affected interest income*
As noted earlier, the balance on
factor income is the difference between GNP and gross domestic product. This relationship can be used to
obtain an approximate measure of the
effect on the rate of change in GNP of
disproportionate changes in the part
of national production originating in
the rest of the world. As shown in
column 5 of table 3, disproportionate




March 1983

changes in rest-of-the-world production in the fourth quarter of 1980 and
in the first quarter of 1982 reduced
the annual rates of growth of GNP
0.8 and 1.0 percentage points, respectively. In other quarters of 1980-82,
the effect was smaller, sometimes reducing and sometimes increasing the
rate of change in GNP. From the first
quarter of 1980 to the fourth quarter
of 1982, rest-of-the-world product increased the average annual rate of decline in GNP by approximately 0.1
percentage point.
In corporate profits, the decline in
the balance from the first quarter of
1980 to the fourth quarter of 1982 was
more than accounted for by a $12.7
billion decline in receipts (chart 11),
Receipts were halved: From a high in
late 1979 and in the first quarter of
1980 of almost $26 billion, they declined, with few interruptions, to
$13.2 billion in the fourth quarter of
1982. The decline was in large part
due to the slowing of economic activity, especially in 1980 and 1982, in
countries where foreign affiliates are
located. Petroleum affiliates, which
account for about one-third of total
receipts, were particularly hard hit.
The decline in receipts from these af-

NOTE.—Estimates of total factor income are from table 4.2 of the National Income and Product Accounts Tables. Estimates of
corporate profits are derived by dividing rest-of-the-world corporate profits, from table 6.20B of the National Income and Product
Accounts Tables, and exports and imports separately, from unpublished data, by the implicit price deflator for net domestic
product. (That deflator can be found as the implicit price deflator for factor income in table 7.16 of the National Income and
Product Accounts Tables; that shown for exports was used in the calculations.) Estimates of interest are derived as total factor
income less corporate profits.

filiates started from a high level in
early 1980, when they were benefitting from the run-up in petroleum
prices initiated by OPEC in 1979, and
was large during 1980. After stabilization in 1981, a further weakening in
1982 reflected the softness in petroleum prices that was related to the oil
glut.
Appreciation of the dollar also contributed to the decline in total receipts. Dollar appreciation has an
effect on affiliate profits because
earnings abroad, which, in general,
firms calculate initially in foreign
currencies, are reported to BEA in
dollars. Thus, dollar appreciation
against the currency of a country
where the earnings originate generally lowers the dollar measure. This
effect is a kind of capital gain (loss).
Capital gains (losses) are definitionally excluded from NIPA measures and,
as noted earlier, the reconciliation between the BPA's and the NIPA's includes an item to remove capital
gains (losses) from income of foreign




affiliates. Most gains (losses) of this
kind are excluded from affiliate
income by the reconciliation item, but
a small part—those that cannot be
separated statistically—remain. They
may have significantly affected receipts from foreign affiliates over the
1980-82 period because of the sizable
dollar appreciation. Finally, in 1980,
receipts reflected a decline following a
one-year jump caused by a change in
the United Kingdom in the tax treatment of inventory profits.
Payments of corporate profits declined $2.1 billion, from $5.3 billion in
the first quarter of 1980 to $3.2 billion
in the fourth quarter of 1982. Within
this period, payments fell initially in
response to the 1980 recession, recovered by mid-1981, and then fell in response to the 1981-82 recession. The
gradual decontrol of U.S. petroleum
prices beginning in the third quarter
of 1979 and the OPEC price hikes bolstered earnings of petroleum affiliates
in 1980 and, to a smaller extent, in
1981; payments by these affiliates are
roughly one-third of total payments.
In interest, as noted earlier, the
balance was up $5.4 billion from the
first quarter of 1980 to the fourth
quarter of 1982. Within the period,
the balance grew steadily from $8.0
billion to $15.3 billion in the second
quarter of 1982, then fell to $13.4 billion. The growth occurred as, during
the quarterly fluctuations in which
receipts and payments paralleled each
other, receipts usually increased more
and fell less (chart 11). The fluctuations follow closely the pattern of interest rates. This point is brought out
by reference to chart 12, which shows
the rate on U.S. 90-day certificates of
deposit. This rate can serve as a representative rate for tracing fluctuations in yields because short-term,
rather than long-term, instruments
make up the preponderant share of
both claims and liabilities, and because dollar-denominated instruments
make up the preponderant share of
both.
In addition to affecting fluctuations
in interest receipts and payments, interest rates also affected their levels.
The climb in interest rates to record
highs in mid-1981—to 17% percent
(quarterly average) on the U.S. 90-day
certificates of deposit—gave them an
upward tilt. The level of outstanding

claims and liabilities also affected
both the fluctuations and level, and
contributed to the faster growth of receipts than payments. Both U.S. bank
claims on and liabilities to foreigners—but especially the former—increased strongly almost throughout
the period. Beginning in the fourth
quarter of 1981, both were affected by
the establishment of International
Banking Facilities (IBF's). IBF's,
which (as authorized by the Board of
Governors, of the Federal Reserve
System) are exempt from reserve requirements and interest rate ceilings,
conduct only international banking
such as receiving foreign deposits and
making foreign loans. As they were
being established, shifts of claims and
liabilities to the United States from
foreign branches took place, and
banking operations, which previously
had taken place offshore, were handled by IBF's, adding significantly to
the outstanding positions in claims
and liabilities.
Other services.—The balance on
other services was up $1.2 billion
from the first quarter of 1980 to the
fourth quarter of 1982, to $6.5 billion
(table 1). The increase was almost all
in exports, which fluctuated moderately around an uptrend, reaching
$24.8 billion; imports fluctuated somewhat less around an $18 billion dollar
level (chart 7).
Because deflation of the several heterogenous components that make up
other services is carried out in detail

Supplementary measures
Two supplementary measures of net
exports are presented in what follows.
The first is the measure of net exports associated with command GNP,
which takes into account the effect of
changes in the relationship between
export and import prices. The second
is net exports calculated using 1981,
rather than 1972, as the valuation
period.
Command net exports.—Constantdollar net exports are derived by subtracting constant-dollar total imports
from constant-dollar total exports. If,
instead, current-dollar net exports are
divided by an appropriate price index,
the resulting measure is the excess
(+ or —), in 1972 dollars, of the quantity of foreign goods and services a
country can purchase from the proceeds of its exports over the quantity
of those exports.
Such a net export series, calculated
using the implicit price deflator for
imports as the price index with which
to divide current-dollar GNP, is
shown in the lower panel of chart 13
labeled "command" net exports. (See
also table 2 in the Reconciliation and
Other Special Tables, on page 18 of
this issue.) It is labeled "command"
because it is one of a family of
series—counterparts of the conventional production series—that measures the command over goods and
services resulting from current production.10 As shown in the chart, this
series did not plummet over the 198082 period, as did the conventional net
export series, labeled "GNP" net exports. Instead, from an irregular plateau in the $4 to $8 billion range in
1979 and the first quarter of 1980, the
command series moved to a higher, irregular plateau in the $8 to $13 billion range that lasted through the
second quarter of 1982, dropping substantially only in the third quarter, to
$2.4 billion, and changing little in the
fourth.
The source of the difference between the command and GNP series

10. The command series were introduced by Edward
F. Denison in, "International Transactions in Measures of the Nation's Production," SURVEY 61 (May
1981): 17-22.

for net exports can be traced in the
upper panel of chart 13. It shows the
terms of trade, measured as the ratio
of the implicit price deflator for exports to that for imports and indexed
to 1972. After declining in 1979 and
the first quarter of 1980, the index increased over the next two years from
72.2 to 85.0 in the second quarter of
1982, and then slipped to about 83.0.
The improvement occurred as the
import deflator, which had been
rising more rapidly than the export
deflator, rose less rapidly through the
first quarter of 1981, and then declined through the second quarter of
1982. Through that quarter, the improvement was about 17 percent; if

401-010 0 - 8 3 - 4




petroleum prices, rather than following their actual course, had followed
the course of other import prices, the
improvement would have been roughly three-fifths as much. The weakening in the terms of trade from the
second quarter was more than accounted for by petroleum.
Recent valuation period.—For the
constant-dollar estimates referred to
so far, 1972 is the valuation period.
BEA plans to supplement its regular
constant-dollar estimates by approximating
constant-dollar
estimates
valued in dollars of a recent year. The
project has not yet been completed,
but some preliminary calculations
suggest the impact on the estimates
of net exports of moving forward the
valuation period to 1981. The impact
on net exports could be expected to be
of particular interest because of the
large changes since 1972 in the prices
and quantities of some components of
exports and imports.
The average annual rates of change
from the first quarter of 1980 to the
fourth quarter of 1982 in table 6 show
that imports on the 1981 valuation
base declined much more than on the
1972 valuation base—3.6 percent compared with 0.1 percent—and exports
on the 1981 base declined only slightly more—7.0 percent compared with
6.8 percent. Within imports, petroleum, which has a larger relative importance in imports on the 1981 base,
fell by over 14 percent.
As noted earlier, gross national
product differs from gross domestic
purchases in that the product measure includes exports and excludes imports but the purchases measure includes imports and excludes exports.
Accordingly, a comparison of their
average annual rates of change on the
two valuation bases can be used to
quantify for net exports the effect of
moving forward the valuation period.
In 1972 dollars, for the period from
the first quarter of 1980 to the fourth
quarter of 1982, product declined at a
rate of 0.5 percent and purchases increased at a rate of 0.2 percent. Thus,
the decline in net exports reduced the
average annual rate of change of
product 0.7 percentage point relative
to that of purchases. In 1981 dollars,

product and purchases declined at
rates of 0.6 percent and 0.2 percent,
respectively. Thus, in these dollars,
the decline in net exports reduced the
average annual rate of change of
product 0.4 percentage points relative
to that of purchases. The 0.3 percentage point difference in the amount by
which net exports reduced the rate of
change of product relative to purchases on the 1972 and 1981 valuation
bases is the effect of moving forward
the valuation period for net exports.
Because moving the valuation period
had little effect on the average
annual rate of decline in exports and
because the relative importance of exports in GNP increased only slightly
from 1972 to 1981, it follows that most
of the effect is due to imports—specifically, the larger decline in imports
in 1981 dollars. The relative importance of imports in GNP increased
substantially from 1972 to 1981.
The implicit price deflator for imports shows a much larger average
annual rate of increase on the 1981
base than on the 1972 base and that
for exports shows a similar rate of increase on both bases. With reasoning
similar to that just used, the smaller
increase in the terms of trade (from
the first quarter of 1980 to the fourth
quarter of 1982) on the 1981 base than
on the 1972 base—5.9 percent (not an
average annual rate) compared to
17.0—is the effect on the terms of
trade of moving forward the valuation
period.

U.S. International Transactions,
Fourth Quarter and Year 1982
Fourth Quarter 1982
THE current-account deficit increased
to $6.1 billion in the fourth quarter
from $5.3 billion in the third. A larger
decline in receipts than in payments
of income on portfolio investment and
a step-up in unilateral transfers more
than accounted for the increase.
Partly offsetting was an increase in
receipts of income on U.S. direct investment abroad.
Declining interest rates, combined
with a slower increase in U.S. bankreported claims and liabilities, sharply lowered income receipts and, to a

lesser extent, payments on portfolio
investment. The increase in unilateral transfers was in U.S. Government
grants.
The merchandise trade deficit decreased to $12.1 billion from $12.5 billion. Imports decreased $4.6 billion, or
7 percent, to $60.2 billion. Exports decreased $4.3 billion, or 8 percent, to
$48.1 billion. Most of the decrease in
imports—$4.0 billion—was in nonpetroleum imports, nearly all in volume.
This decrease was the first since the
first quarter of the year. Most of the
decrease in exports—$3.7 billion—was
in nonagricultural exports; volume

declines more than accounted for the
decrease.
U.S. assets abroad increased $23.6
billion, compared with a $25.6 billion
increase. U.S. official reserve assets
increased $1.9 billion, over one-half of
which resulted from net acquisitions

The Statistical Discrepancy in the International Transactions Accounts
The statistical discrepancy—errors and
omissions is reported transactions—was
a record inflow of almost $42 billion in
1982, uncomfortably large by any standard. Indeed, over the 1980-82 period, the
discrepancy registered a cumulative
inflow of more than $96 billion.
Such unusually large unrecorded flows
probably reflect a number of factors: the
international demand for dollars to acquire dollar-dominated assets, which
both resulted from and added to the attractiveness of the United States as a
"haven" for foreign funds and to the
strength of the dollar in exchange markets; very high real interest rates in the
United States; and a myriad of financial,
economic, and political problems—actual
and potential—in both the developing
and industrial countries. Also, statistical
reporting procedures have not kept pace
with the numerous recent innovations in
U.S. financial markets. As a result, some
instruments and participants have not
been adequately covered or not covered
at all by the statistics. An interagency
group, in cooperation with financial
market participants, is working to improve reporting procedures.
The very large unrecorded inflows in
recent years should be included in any




meaningful analysis of U.S. international
transactions. For instance, the inflow in
1982 can be compared with some net recorded flows. Combining the balance on
current account—a deficit of $8.1 billion—with that for net recorded private
capital flows—an outflow of $26.1 billion—results in an outflow of $34.2 billion, $7.7 billion less than the $41.9 billion unrecorded inflow. For the 1980-82
period, the cumulative balance on current account was a deficit of $2.1 billion,
that for net recorded private capital
flows was an outflow of $85.6 billion, for
a combined $87.7 billion outflow. Cumulative unrecorded inflows for the same
period were $96.5 billion.
Although efforts to identify sources of
errors and omissions will continue, it is
unrealistic to expect the discrepancy to
be reduced dramatically or to disappear
in short order. Even if the dollar should
depreciate somewhat in exchange markets in the period ahead, net unrecorded
inflows—probably largely in the capital
accounts—are likely to persist in a global
environment of continued financial, economic, and political uncertainties.

of foreign currencies. Although
German mark balances declined as a
result of the redemption of U.S.
Treasury mark-denominated notes,
net holdings of Mexican pesos and of
Brazilian cruzerios increased substantially as these countries drew on
credit lines provided through both existing and special reciprocal currency
arrangements. U.S. bank-reported
claims on foreigners—which increased
$16.7 billion, compared with $20.4 billion—reflected some decline in credit
demands in both industrial and developing countries, and uncertainty
about the ability of several private
and government borrowers in developing countries to repay maturing

short-term debts in the immediate
future. Some outflows in December
were related to substantial inflows to
new deposit-type bank accounts out of
money market mutual funds and the
desire of banks to place funds from
these accounts in higher yielding Eurodollar deposits at foreign branches.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign securities were $3.5 billion, up slightly from
$3.3 billion. A decline in foreign new
security issues in the United States,
which occurred despite the decline in
interest rates, was more than offset
by increased U.S. purchases of foreign
stocks, which occurred as stock prices
in all major foreign markets rose substantially, and increased purchases of

outstanding bonds. Net capital outflows for U.S. direct investment
abroad were $0.6 billion, following
$0.5 billion in inflows in the third
quarter. Dollar inflows from U.S.
direct investors' borrowing through
Netherlands Antilles finance affiliates
dropped to $1.8 billion from $2.2 billion. Reinvested earnings were $3.4
billion, compared with $1.5 billion.
Foreign assets in the United States
increased $13.1 billion, following a
$16.7 billion increase. Increases in foreign official assets slowed to $1.7 billion, reflecting the easing of pressures
on foreign currencies in the exchange
markets as the dollar depreciated in
November and December. Unusual of-

ficial inflows from Australia and Singapore bosted increases from industrial and non-OPEC developing countries, respectively; holdings of OPEC
members decreased. U.S. bank-reported liabilities to private foreigners and
international financial institutions increased $6.5 billion, down from a
$12.0 billion increase, as U.S. interest
rates decreased. Foreign purchases of
U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securities increased to $1.9 billion
from $0.2 billion. Foreign purchases
of U.S. stocks in December accounted
for most of the rise. Capital inflows
for foreign direct investment in the
United States were $3.0 billion, up
from $2.4 billion; equity and intercompany inflows and reinvested earnings both increased.
After appreciating further in October, the dollar gave up some of its
earlier gains in November and December, when it depreciated 3 to 12
percent against most major foreign
currencies. With the rapid drop in
U.S. interest rates, U.S. rates were
only slightly above key rates in Germany and Japan and funds moved to
those countries. Dollar depreciation
was largest, nearly 12 percent,
against the Japanese yen; the yen
benefited partly from capital flows
into the Japanese stock market.

strongly in favor of the dollar and inflows into all types of dollar-denominated assets remained large. Conflict
in the Falkland Islands in April and
growing international financial problems further encouraged capital flows
to the United States. Consequently,
the dollar appreciated between 8 and
15 percent against most major currencies through June.
Several other factors contributed to
the dollar's strength. Inflationary
pressures in the United States continued to abate and the U.S. current account remained in surplus, in contrast to some deterioration early in
the year of both Germany's and

Japan's current-account positions. Political instability in Eastern Europe,
open hostilities in Lebanon, and the
conflict between Iran and Iraq also
contributed.
Although short-term U.S. interest
rates fell more than 5 percentage
points and interest differentials in
favor of the dollar narrowed rapidly
in July-October, the dollar continued
to rise to record highs against many
currencies. At the end of October, the
dollar was 12 to 25 percent above December levels against most major currencies, with the exception of the Canadian dollar. Concern over the international financial situation, particu-

larly the external debt of Poland, Argentina, Mexico, and Brazil, encouraged continued dollar inflows, many
of them apparently unrecorded.
In November and December the
dollar gave up some of its gains from
the past 2% years, depreciating 3 to 12
percent against most major currencies. Some key interest differentials
were only slightly in favor of the
dollar. Also, international financial
concerns lessened somewhat, as
Mexico and other countries negotiated balance-of-payments adjustment
programs with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and restructured financing requirements with commercial banks.
Merchandise trade
The U.S. merchandise trade deficit
was $36.3 billion in 1982, compared
with a deficit of $27.9 billion in 1981.
A sharper decrease in exports than in
imports accounted for the increase.
Exports decreased $25.2 billion, or 11
percent, to $211.1 billion; volume decreased 12 percent. Both agricultural
and nonagricultural exports de-

creased. Imports decreased $16.8 billion, or 6 percent, to $246.1 billion;
volume decreased 1 percent. The decrease in imports was nearly all in petroleum products.
Real U.S. merchandise exports decreased over 15 percent during the
current U.S. recession. Much of the
decrease can be attributed to recession in other major countries during
the past 3 years (chart 16). Other factors were the 36-percent dollar appreciation against 22 OECD currencies
since the third quarter of 1980 and
the 19-percent rise in prices of goods
produced for export over the past 3
years, as measured by the implicit
price deflator for nonagricultural exports (chart 17). (Prices in other key
trading-partner countries increased at
about the same or a slower rate.) The
decrease in U.S. export volume contributed to the U.S. recession, as indicated by the marked reduction in the

percentage of U.S. goods production
that is exported. In contrast, in the
previous four recessions, sustained
foreign demand for U.S. goods increased the percentage of U.S. goods
production exported, mitigating the
severity of U.S. recessions.
Real U.S. merchandise imports
have remained about constant during
the current U.S. recession. Although
domestic demand has weakened,
import volume has been relatively
strong, partly because, given the dollar's appreciation, the implicit price
deflator for nonpetroleum imports
was virtually flat over the past 3
years in contrast to an 18-percent rise
in domestic prices (chart 17). Slack
economic conditions also caused softness in commodity prices in major
world markets and may have led to
more aggressive selling of some exports to the United States. In the previous four recessions, imports fell at

46

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

least proportionately with the decline
in domestic demand.
U.S. nonagricultural exports decreased $18.4 billion to $173.6 billion
in 1982; volume decreased 13 percent.
All major commodity categories decreased. The largest decreases were in
industrial supplies and materials and
in capital goods (table D). The decrease in industrial supplies had
begun in the third quarter of 1980, as
U.S. inflation and recession abroad
began to slow these exports; dollar appreciation was a contributing factor
in 1981-82. In 1982, exports of metallurgical coal, iron and steel products,
and metals and metal products all declined sharply from levels in the first
half of the year or from 1981.
Lumber, wood, and paper products
and chemicals declined only moderately. In capital goods, the decrease
had begun in the second quarter of
1981. About one-half the decrease in
1982 was in civilian aircraft, which
was adversely affected by high financing costs. The other one-half was due
to declines in many components of
nonelectrical machinery, as shown in
the accompanying tabulation. Some
components—for example drilling and
oil field equipment—showed modest
growth for the year, but fell sharply
after midyear. Other components
were severely affected by economic
conditions and the strong dollar
throughout the year.

Agricultural exports decreased $6.8
billion to $37.4 billion; volume decreased 5 percent. The decrease in
volume was concentrated in corn and
wheat, which fell 11 and 6 percent, respectively; soybean volume increased
17 percent, cotton 12 percent. Average
prices of these crops declined between
11 and 22 percent. Record world supplies of major commodities and weakening demand intensified price competition among world producers. The
decline in total volume was due
almost entirely to reduced shipments
to Eastern Europe, excluding the

Soviet Union, down 50 percent, and to
Mexico, down 46 percent.
Nonpetroleum imports were nearly
unchanged at $186.1 billion; volume
was also unchanged. Among major
commodity categories, industrial supplies and materials had begun to decline in the second quarter of 1981;
about two-thirds of the decrease was
due to declining petroleum consumption. The impact of the U.S. recession
on nonpetroleum supplies was partly
offset by rapidly declining prices in
world commodity markets and the effects of the appreciation of the dollar.
Iron and steel imports were dampened by the decline in demand for oilfield pipe and by the dispute between
the European Communities (EC) and
the United States over subsidies. That
dispute was resolved in October,
when—effective November 1—the EC
agreed to limit shipments of carbon
and alloy steel, and steel pipe and
tube products, in exchange for the

withdrawal by U.S. steel producers of
dumping and unfair trade practices
complaints. Capital goods, excluding
automotive products, declined in the
first quarter of 1982 but showed suprising strength through the third
quarter, before dropping sharply in
the fourth (see table D). Changes in
various components are shown in the
accompanying tabulation. Only some
components were severely affected by
the U.S. recession.

redeem maturing U.S. Treasury foreign currency-denominated notes.
Second, U.S. monetary authorities
provided nearly $6.2 billion in shortterm credits to Mexico and Brazil,
$4.1 billion of which was repaid
within the year/These credits, provided through existing and new reciprocal currency arrangements, were
sometimes provided in cooperation
with the Bank for International Settlements and monetary authorities in
other industrial countries. Mexico
repaid some of its drawings with the
proceeds of a $1 billion advance payment in August by the United States
for petroleum purchases for the strategic petroleum reserve. In other official reserve asset accounts, the U.S.
reserve position with the IMF increased $2.6 billion, almost unchanged from last year's increase.
U.S. holdings of special drawing
rights increased $1.4 billion, compared with a $1.8 billion increase.
Claims on foreigners reported by
U.S. banks increased $106.7 billion,
compared with $84.5 billion (table G).
The increase in claims slowed as 1982
progressed, largely due to cyclical
weakening of credit demands in the
major industrial and a number of developing countries, and to the increased recourse by borrowers to national and international bond markets. In addition, many banks reassessed their country risk exposure as
the financial positions of a number of
private and public borrowers deteriorated.
The higher level of lending in 1982,
compared with the 1981, was largely
associated with the rebooking of existing business from foreign branches
and the channeling of new business
through the newly created IBF's in
the United States. Most of the initial
rebooking and channeling of new
business
was
from
Caribbean
branches. Some portion of IBF funding from London branches may have
been provided by the establishing
entity in the United States.
The change in booking of some international business altered the pattern of U.S. bank-reported claims and
liabilities vis-a-vis branches in London
and in the Caribbean. The increased
importance of IBF lending, especially
in the foreign interbank market, led
to an increase in U.S. claims on U.K.

lion in 1981; the increase in liabilities
was $19 billion, compared with $6 billion. Most lending by IBFs was to unaffiliated foreign banks. The increase
in U.S. claims on Caribbean branches
was about unchanged at $19 billion;
the increase in liabilities dropped
from $22 billion to $17 billion.
In other areas, U.S. bank-reported
claims on Western Europe, excluding
the United Kingdom, increased $15
billion compared with $7 billion; the
rate of increase slowed during the
year as credit demands weakened.
The increase in claims on Canada was
about unchanged at $4.1 billion;
claims on Japan increased $0.5 billion, down from a $4.0 billion increase.
The increase in claims on Latin
America, excluding Caribbean banking centers and OPEC member Venezuela, was $25 billion, but slowed
during the year from a 32-percent increase in the first half to a 6-percent
increase in the second. Claims on
other non-OPEC developing countries
in Asia and Africa increased $9 billion and slowed from a 21-percent increase to a 16-percent increase. Much
lending to Latin America was concentrated in Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina, where U.S, bank claims increased
64 percent in 1981 but only 35 percent
in 1982. Nearly all of the increase in
1982 occurred in the first half of the
year. Much of this increase in claims,
and those to other developing countries, was in the form of short-term
credits.
Bank's custody claims increased
$4.2 billion in 1982, compared with an
$10.2 billion increase in 1981. Purchases of Eurodollar certificates of deposit (CD's), mostly for the accounts of
U.S. money market mutual funds,
were strong in the first quarter, but
showed no growth in the second and
net sales in the third, in response to
perceptions of greater risk in Eurodollar than in U.S. CD's associated with
unsettled international financial conditions. Purchases rose again in the
fourth quarter.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign securities were $7.8 billion, compared with
$5.4 billion. A shift to net purchases
of foreign stocks and decline in net
sales of outstanding bonds more than
offset a decline in foreign new issues
in the United States. Net purchases of
foreign stocks were concentrated in
the September-December period, to-

kets as it had in 1981, partly because
Eurobond interest rates were as much
as 140-200 basis points lower than
U.S. interest rates in the first half of
the year. However, when U.S. interest
rates declined sharply and differentials narrowed—as they did in the
first quarter and in August-October—Canada shifted some borrowing to the
U.S. markets (chart 19), The absence
of Canadian borrowing from the U.S.
market in November-December reflected unusually large placements in
the Canadian market by issuers who
usually borrow only in the U.S. or
Eurobond market; the differential of
Canadian over U.S. rates had dropped
from over 260 basis points in July to
60 basis points in December. Borrowing by international financial institutions, including the World Bank, was
up strongly.
Net redemptions and sales of outstanding bonds were $0.8 billion, compared with $2.6 billion. Net sales
through the third quarter were partly
related to the realization of capital
gains from the strengthening in bond
prices over the previous year. In the
fourth quarter, there were large net
purchases.
Net inflows on U.S. direct investment abroad were $2.2 billion, compared with outflows of $8.7 billion.
Several factors affect year-to-year
comparisons. First, there were large
inflows in 1982 related to the sale of a
U.S. mining company's Canadian affiliates when the U.S. company was
acquired by a French company (the
offset to transactions recorded in the
foreign direct investment accounts).
Second, encouraged by a 140-200 basis
point advantage in Euromarket borrowing and by tax advantages, capital
inflows from finance affiliates in the
Netherlands Antilles rose to $9.7 billion from $3.6 billion (table H). The

borrowing slackened somewhat in the
second half of the year as U.S. interest rates dropped rapidly. (Excluding
Netherlands Antilles financing transactions, there would have been equity
and intercompany inflows of $0.7 billion in 1981 and outflows of $0.5 billion in 1982.) Third, and partly offsetting, the large equity inflows from the
sale of Canadian energy affiliates in
1981 were not present in 1982. Reinvested earnings decreased from $13.0
billion to $7.0 billion.
Foreign assets in the United States
Foreign assets in the United States
increased $84.5 billion, compared with
a $77.9 billion increase in 1981.
Foreign official assets in the United
States increased $3.0 billion, compared with a $4.8 billion increase.
Dollar assets of industrial countries
decreased $6.5 billion, compared with
a $12.2 billion decrease. Through
April, much of the reduction was associated with dollar sales by foreign
monetary authorities to support
weaker currencies (French franc, Belgian franc, and Italian lira) within
the European Monetary System
(EMS) system. Germany's dollar
assets decreased in the second quarter
prior to the EMS realinement in
June. Dollar assets of France fell
sharply in the third quarter prior to
the arrangement of a large standby
Eurocurrency credit line. A large reduction in United Kingdom dollar
assets occurred in the fourth quarter
when the pound sterling came under
further pressure. Substantial intervention sales of dollars by Japanese
authorities occurred through the
third quarter to limit yen depreciation. There was an unusually large
increase in dollar assets of Australia,
whose foreign exchange reserves had

March 1983

been substantially increased by direct
investment capital inflows and by
Japanese purchases of Australian
Government debt instruments.
Dollar assets of OPEC members increased $7.2 billion, compared with a
$13.3 billion increase. The increase in
assets, mainly of Middle East members, dropped sharply in the second
half of the year, shifting to a decrease
in the fourth quarter, reflecting falling petroleum prices and declining
revenues.
Dollar assets of non-OPEC developing countries increased $2.3 billion,
compared to a $3.7 billion increase.
Excluding an especially large increase
from Singapore, assets of most countries decreased as these countries continued to experience large current-account deficits and debt service burdens.
The increase in U.S. liabilities to
private foreigners and international
financial institutions reported by U.S.
banks was $69.8 billion, compared
with a $44.2 billion increase. The increase in bank liabilities slowed as
the year progressed, due in large
measure to cyclical weakening of
credit demands in the United States
and the sharp drop in U.S. interest
rates (table F). Inflows were large in
the first and second quarters (as they
had been in the last half of 1981)
when there was a large demand for
short-term credit (as evidenced by the
growth of CD's, commercial paper,
and bank credit) and when U.S. rates
were well above declining foreign
rates.
About one-half of the 1982 step up
in liabilities was with the international banking centers. Partly in response
to the change in booking of some international business to IBF's in the

General notes for all tables:

'Less than $500,000 (±).
n.a. Not available.
Table 1-2:
1. Credits, +: exports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to United States; capital inf flows (increase in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in U.S. assets); decrease in U.S. official reserve assets.
Debits, —.'imports of goods and services; 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.
2. Excludes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs (see line 16).
3. Excludes exports of goods under U.S. military agency sales contracts identified in Census
export documents, excludes imports of goods under direct defense expenditures identified in
Census import documents, and reflects various other adjustments (for valuation, coverage, and
tuning) of Census statistics to balance of payments basis; see table 3.
4. For all areas, amounts outstanding December 31, 1982, were as follows in millions of dollars:
line 38, 33,957; line 39, 11,148; line 40, 5,250; line 41, 7,348; line 42, 10,212.
5. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
6. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible
and nonconvertible bonds and notes.
7. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere, and
of debt securities of U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
8. Includes, primarily, U.S. Government liabilities associated with military sales contracts and
other transactions arranged with or through foreign official agencies; see table 4.
9. Consists of investments in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations
and State and local governments.
10. Beginning with estimates for the second quarter of 1978, the distinction between short- and
long-term liabilities is discontinued.
11. Conceptually, the sum of lines 79 and 74 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the
NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the international transactions accounts for the treatment of
gold, (b) excludes capital gains and losses of foreign affiliates of U.S. parent companies from the
NIPA's measure of income receipts from direct investment abroad, and from the corresponding
income payments, and (c) beginning with 1973-IV, excludes shipments and financing of military
orders placed by Israel under Public Law 93-199, and subsequent similar legislation. Line 77 differs from "net exports of goods and services" in the NIPA's for the same reasons with the excepixports of goods and services"
A partial reconciliation table of the international accounts and the NIPA's foreign transactions
account appears in the "Reconciliation and Other Special Tables" section in this issue of the
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
12. The maturity breakdown is available only on the limited basis shown in table 7.
13. The maturity breakdown is available only on the limited basis shown in table 8.
14. Includes foreign currency denominated notes sold to private residents abroad. See table 9,
line 35, footnote 7.
TableS:
1. Exports, Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. U.S. port of exportation; imports,
Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. foreign port of exportation for 1981. In 1982, imports reflect f.a.s. Customs values. The unadjusted figures for exports and imports shown in lines
Al, A10, Dl, and D56, are as published by the Census Bureau, as are the seasonally adjusted
figures in lines Al and A10; Census data are adjusted to include trade between the U.S. Virgin
Islands and foreign countries. The seasonally adjusted figures in lines Dl and D56 are prepared
by BEA and represent the summation of seasonally adjusted 4-digit end-use categories (see Technical Notes in the June 1980 SURVEY).
2. Beginning in 1970, adjustments in lines A5, A12, B9, B26, and B43 reflect the Census Bureau's reconciliation of discrepancies in the merchandise trade statistics published by the United
States and the counterpart statistics published in Canada. These adjustments also have been distributed to the affected end-use categories in section C.
3. Exports of military equipment under U.S. military agency sales contracts with foreign gpv*
ernments (line A6), and direct imports by the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard (line
A13), to the extent such trade is identifiable from Customs declarations. These exports are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 3 (transfers under U.S. military agency sales contracts); and the
imports are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 19 (direct defense expenditures).
4. Addition of electrical energy; deduction of exposed motion picture film for rental rather than
sale; net change in stock of U.S.-owned grains in storage in Canada; net timing adjustments for
goods recorded in Census data in one period but found to have been shipped in another; and coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data.
5. Correction for discrepancy between sum of four quarters, seasonally adjusted, and the unadjusted annual totals, plus the difference between Census published seasonally adjusted totals and
the summation of seasonally adjusted 4-digit end-use categories.
6. Addition of inland freight on U.S. merchandise imports from Canada; addition of electrical
energy; deduction of foreign charges for repair of U.S. vessels abroad, which are included in
tables 1, 2, and 10, line 22 (other transportation); net timing adjustments for goods recorded in
Census data in one period but found to have been shipped in another; and coverage adjustments
for special situations in which shipments were omitted from Census data.
7. Annual and unadjusted quarterly data shown in this table correspond to country and area
data in table 10, lines 2 and 18, except that trade with international organizations, namely purchases of nonmonetary gold from the IMF and transfers of tin to the International Tin Council
(ITC), are included in data for other countries in Asia and Africa. The memorandum items are
defined as follows: Industrial countries: Western Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa; Members of OPEC: Venezuela, Ecuador, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia,
Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, Gabon; Other countries: Latin
American Republics, Other Western Hemisphere, and other countries in Asia and Africa, less
OPEC, the IMF and the ITC.
8. The statistical identification of automotive products exports to Canada (line D43) is not as
complete and comprehensive as the identification of imports under the U.S.-Canada Automotive
Products Trade Act. However, the underestimation of automotive shipments to Canada due to
unidentified auto parts and unreported exports, amounting to about $1,842 million in 1981, and
$1,650 million in 1982, has been largely corrected in line C24.
9. Includes nuclear fuel materials and fuels.
Table 4:
1. Expenditures to release Israel from its contractual liability to pay for defense articles and
services purchased through military sales contracts—authorized under Public Law 93-199, section
4, and subsequent similar legislation—are included in line A3. Deliveries against these military
sales contracts are included in line CIO; see footnote 2. Of the line A3 items, part of the military
expenditures is applied in lines A38 and A41 to reduce short:term assets previously recorded in




lines A36 and C8; this application of funds is excluded from lines C3 and C4. A second part of line
A3 expenditures finances future deliveries under military sales contracts and is applied directly
to lines A37 and C9. A third portion of line A3, disbursed directly to finance purchases by Israel

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

United States, the increase in U.S.
banks' liabilities to the United Kingdom (other than custody liabilities)
was sharply higher (about matching
the step up in U.S. banks' claims on
the United Kingdom). U.S. liabilities

March 1983

to Caribbean branches increased less
in 1982 than in 1981; some of the
slowdown was related to the change
in booking.
The other one-half of the step-up
was an increase in liabilities to Swit-

zerland and other European countries, reflecting the demand for
dollar-denominated assets.
Net foreign purchases of U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securities decreased $1.1 billion to $6.0 bil-

lion, reflecting a $1.3 billion drop in
stock purchases from the record 1981
level. Most of the decline was from
Canada
and
Western Europe.
Throughout most of the year, foreign
purchases were small, partly due to
the attractive yields available on debt
securities; even after the August-October rise in stock prices, foreign investors stepped up their purchases only
slightly. In December, foreigners purchased a record amount of U.S.
stocks. Much of the increase was from
the United Kingdom, whose purchases had been strong all year.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Other Western European countries
sold a net $0.8 billion of stocks, after
more than $1.5 billion in purchases in
1981.
Net foreign purchases of outstanding U.S. bonds were $1.8 billion, compared with $1.7 billion in 1981. Purchases were especially strong in the
first half of the year when U.S. interest rates were high—purchases by
West Germany more than accounted
for the rise in net purchases by Western Europe.
Capital Inflows on foreign direct investment in the United States

69

dropped to $9.4 billion from $21.3 billion. If the extraordinarily large 1981
transactions related to a Middle East
acquisition of a U.S. petroleum construction and drilling company, a
French acquisition of a U.S. mining
company (and the sale of that company's Canadian affiliates), and a British acquisition of a U.S. bank are excluded, there was only a moderate decrease from year to year in equity
and intercompany account inflows.
Reinvested earnings decreased to $1.1
billion from $4.1 billion, reflecting the
U.S. recession.

t Effective Feb. 1982 SURVEY, the money stock measures and components have been revised
back to 1959. The Federal Reserve has redefined the monetary aggregates. The redefinition
was prompted by the emergence in recent years of new monetary assets—for example, negotiable
order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts and money market mutual fund shares—and alterations in
the basic character of established monetary assets—for example, the growing similarity of
and substitution between the deposits of thrift institutions and those of commercial banks.
Monthly data from 1959 to date are available from the Banking Section of the Division of
Research and Statistics at the Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D.C. 20551.
$ Composition of the money stock measures is as follows:
ML—This measure is currency plus demand deposits at commercial banks and interest-earning
checkable deposits at alf depositary institutions—namely NOW accounts, automatic transfer
from savings (ATS) accounts, and credit union share draft balances—as well as a small
amount of demand deposits at thrift institutions that cannot, using present data sources, be
separated from interest-earning checkable deposits.
M2.—This measure adds to Ml overnight repurchase agreements (RP's) issued by commercial banks and certain overnight Eurodollars (those issued by Caribbean branches of
member banks) held by U.S. nonbank residents, money market mutual fund shares, and
savings and small-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of less than
$100,000) at all depositary institutions. Depositary institutions are commercial banks (including
U.S. agencies and branches of foreign banks, Edge Act corporations, and foreign investment
companies), mutual savings banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions.
M.3.—This measure equals M2 plus large-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of $100,000 or more) at all depositary institutions (including negotiable CD's) plus
term RP's issued by commercial banks and savings and loan associations.
L.—This broad measure of liquid assets equals M3 plus other liquid assets consisting of
other Eurodollar holdings of U.S. nonbank residents, bankers acceptances, commercial paper,
savings bonds, and marketable liquid Treasury obligations.
$$ Includes ATS and NOW balances at all institutions, credit union share draft balances,
and demand deposits at mutual savings banks.
# Overnight (and continuing contract) RP's are those issued by commercial banks to the
nonbank public, and overnight Eurodollars are those issued by Caribbean branches of member
banks to U.S. nonbank customers.
@ Small time deposits are those issued in amounts of less than $100,000. Large time
deposits are those issued in amounts of $100,000 or more and are net of the holdings of
domestic banks, thrift institutions, the U.S. Government, money market mutual funds, and
foreign banks and official institutions.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

March 1983

Change in the Treatment of Homeownership in the CPI-U
Beginning with data for January 1983, the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), shown along with
selected components on pages S-5 and S-6, reflects changes
in the methodology used to compute the homeownership
component. A rental equivalence measure is now used.
Historical data for the CPI-U based on the new methodology
will not be available. However, the change has been made
in such a way that the indexes based on the new and old
methodologies are equal for December 1982 (the so-called
link month), and calculations based on the old method will
be available for a 6-month overlap period (January through
June 1983). The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) will continue to be
calculated by the old method through 1984. Beginning with
data for January 1985, it will also reflect a rental equivalence
measure of homeownership.
Under the old method of computation, the CPI homeownership component consisted of five subcomponents:
the net price of homes purchased, the amount of mortgage
interest expected to be paid over one-half the stated life of
a home mortgage, property taxes, property insurance, and
home maintenance and repairs. As such, it reflected investment elements, largely related to the purchase price
and mortgage interest subcomponents, as well as consumption
elements. The large weight of the homeownership component
in the CPI and the sensitivity of the all-items index to the
procedures used in its calculation focused attention on it.
A change to a flow-of-services-consumed treatment for
homeownership has been under discussion for some time.
Because such a treatment would abstract from investment
elements of homeownership, it would be consistent with the
design of the CPI as a measure of change in the prices of
the market basket of services consumed in the base period.
More recently, problems in obtaining reliable data for
calculating the home price and mortgage interest cost
subcomponents have highlighted the need for change. For
home prices, the prices used in the CPI pertained only to
purchases financed with FHA-insured mortgages. These
prices represented a very small, specialized, and declining
segment of the housing market, and thus were becoming
less representative. For mortgage interest, new types of
mortgages—involving variable rates, shorter financing terms,
and other special arrangements—had become increasingly
prominent, making the standard, long-term, fixed-rate




mortgage used in the CPI increasingly unrepresentative.
Further, because of high interest rates and difficulties faced
by home buyers in securing mortgages from financial institutions, many homeowners were offering to provide
financing at below commercial rates in order to sell their
homes; these arrangements were not reflected in the CPI.
Under the new method of computation, the CPI-U homeownership component has been replaced with a homeowners'
cost component to reflect costs associated with homeowners'
consumption of shelter service. (The new rental equivalence
CPI-U is a descendant, with important refinements, of the
CPI-U-Xl, one of the experimental measures produced since
1980 and now discontinued.) In the new CPI-U, the homeowners' cost consists of owners' equivalent rent and household
insurance. Owners' equivalent rent, the primary rental
equivalence item, is a measure of the rental income owners
forego when they choose to occupy their homes instead of
renting them out. It replaces home purchase, home financing,
and property tax of the old method, plus the portions of
the property insurance, maintenance and repairs, and
household appliances that are implicitly included in rents.
The household insurance subcomponent is a measure of the
portion of property insurance not implicitly included in
rents—insurance for liability and house contents. Except
for the portions now included in owners' equivalent rent,
maintenance and repairs (now excluding capital improvement
items) and household appliances are listed separately. As
a result of the change in methodology, the overall weight of
homeownership in the CPI-U declined, from about 26 to 14
percent.
The notes to pages S-5 and S-6 indicate which CPI-U
series shown on those pages are affected by the change in
methodology: the all-items index and series based on it;
the indexes for commodities, services, and some major
commodities and services aggregates; and the indexes for
housing and its shelter and household furnishings and
operation subcomponents. Two indexes—homeownership,
and services less rent—are no longer available. In addition,
a number of detailed and special-group indexes not shown
on these pages are affected.
For a detailed discussion of the change in the treatment
of homeownership, see ''Changing the Homeownership
Component of the Consumer Price Index to Rental Equivalence," -CP7 Detailed Report, January 1983: 1-8.
