BUSINESS SITUATION

The few measures of economic activity now available for April presented
a mixed picture. The labor market data,
for example, suggested that the advance
in total output might be slowing down a
little, but retail sales showed considerable strength. The evidence for the
second quarter now available is too
fragmentary to permit any definite conclusions about changes in the rate of
expansion. There can be little question
that aggregate demand is still very
strong and that inflationary price pressures are not diminishing. With most
measures of activity already above first
quarter averages, it seems likely that
output in the current quarter will
register a sizable advance.

r RODUCTION continued to rise in
the opening month of the second quarter. The labor market data for April
suggested that the rate of advance in
output might be slowing down a little
as compared with last fall and winter;
unemployment edged up for example,
and employment registered only a small
gain. Also the April rise in wages and
salaries was much smaller than earlier
this year. But not all signs pointed to a
slower pace—retail sales showed considerable strength.
The evidence now available for the
second quarter is too fragmentary to
permit any definite conclusions about
changes in the rate of expansion in
economic activity. There can be little
question that aggregate demand is still
very strong and that inflationary price
pressures are not diminishing. With
most measures of activity already above
first quarter averages, it seems likely




that output in the current quarter will
register a sizable advance.
Consumption should show a goodsized increase in the second quarter.
According to revised Census data, retail sales edged down in March but
advance reports indicate that they rose
to a new peak in April. Production in
the capital goods industries continues
to rise, but the expansion in this sector
should begin to taper following the
large gain in the first quarter. Housing
starts have already begun to decline as
a result of the anti-inflationary credit
policies being pursued by the Federal
Reserve.
Federal Government outlays on balance are adding little to the growth in
output, but State and local expenditures
continue upward despite some financing
difficulties due to very high interest
rates. Now that the dock strike is
settled, net exports should show a
very substantial recovery from the
"zero" balance recorded in the first
quarter.
Slower employment growth

The most recent reports on employment and unemployment indicate some
easing in the tight conditions that have
prevailed since the beginning of last fall.
Seasonally adjusted employment in
nonfarm establishments, which had
increased at an average monthly rate
of 275,000 from October through March,
slowed to a gain of 35,000 in April,
according to preliminary figures. Moreover, unemployment increased and the
overall unemployment rate edged higher
for the second straight month—to 3.5
percent of the civilian labor force from

3.4 percent in March and 3.3 percent
in the preceding 3 months.
The April slowdown in the employment expansion was reflected in most
of the major industry divisions. The
only significant gains were in finance
and State and local government; in
the other industries, employment was
substantially unchanged—after allowance is made for strikes in contract
construction and transportation and

May 1969

Financial Tables
THESE tables contain the revised and updated statistics on the sources and uses of
funds of nonfarm nonfinancial corporate business, and public and private debt that have
appeared in previous May issues of the SURVEY. The tables on personal investment, saving, and financial transactions that appeared
in previous May issues (tables 2 through 5 of
the May 1968 SURVEY) have been discontinued, pending the completion of a major revision that is now in process by the compiling
agencies. The distribution of nonfarm mortgage debt by borrowing and lending groups, by
type of property (table 7 of the May 1968
SURVEY), is available upon request from the
Office of Business Economics.
The tables on public and private debt have
been revised back to 1916 for net debt (table 2)
and to 1929 for gross debt; the entire time
series is published in this issue of the SURVEY.
A technical note describing the derivation of
the public and private debt estimates is available upon request from the Office of Business
Economics.
Changes in debt, 1968

rose $132 billion in 1968 to a yearend aggregate of nearly $1.6 trillion. Business
indebtedness accounted for about half of the
total outstanding at the end of last year.
Governments accounted for 28 percent and
individuals for about 23 percent.
Of the $764 billion owed by the business
sector at yearend, corporations accounted
for $604}£ billion, or 38# percent, while
farmers and other unincorporated enterprises
owed $161}S billion or 10 percent.
The Federal Government's debt of $292
billion constituted 18^ percent of the grand
total, while State and local indebtedness
of $128}£ billion made up about 8 percent.
Residential mortgage loans owed by individuals totaled $247}$ billion at the end of

11
$28H billion, $5H billion more than in 1967,
while private debt rose $103J4 billion, $31
billion more than in 1967. Corporations
accounted for most of the surge in private
borrowing in 1968: At $63 billion, their
indebtedness increased $24 billion more than
it had in 1967. Individuals and noncorporate
enterprises borrowed $40}£ billion last year,
$7 billion more than in 1967.

last year, or 16 percent of total debt, and
consumer credit amounted to $113 billion, or
7 percent.
The $132 billion increase in debt last year
was $36}£ billion more than in 1967 and was
the largest amount ever borrowed in a
single calendar year. There was a step-up
in the pace at which each sector went into
debt last year: Public sector debt increased

1. The figures shown here for "internal sources," "undistributed profits," and "capital consumpJion allowances" differ
from those shown for "cash flow, net of dividends," "undistributed profits," and "capital consumption allowances*' in the
gross corporate product table 9 (p. 9 of this issue of the SURVEY) for the following reasons: (1) these figmes include, and the
statistics in the gross corporate product table exclude, branch profits remitted from foreigners, net of corresponding U.S.
remittances to foreigners; and (2) these figures exclude and the gross product figures include, the internal funds of corporations
whose major activity is farming.
2. Includes some categories not shown separately.

Monetary Restraint in 1969
So far in 1969, heavy demands for
credit and a tightly restricted supply
of lendable funds have been reflected
in credit shortages and steeply rising
financing costs. This article reviews
recent developments in financial
markets, with major emphasis on the
impact of credit tightening on the
commercial banking system.

E

CONOMIC activity this year has
been sustained by the exceptional
strength in plant and equipment outlays, by the buoyancy in consumer expenditures, and by continued high rates
of government spending. Heavy demands for goods and services have led to
a continuation of inflationary pressures
and to strong demands for credit
accommodation. Against this background, the monetary authorities have
moved decisively with their program of
credit restraint, and conditions in
money and credit markets have tightened very considerably.
Although credit demands in the first
4 months of this year have remained
strong, a mixed pattern of borrowing
has emerged among the major borrowing groups. With the Federal budget
moving into surplus, Treasury demands
have lessened appreciably from last
year's hectic pace. Moreover, the volume of security issues by State and
local governments has been noticeably
curtailed as a result of very high interest
rates and reduced purchases of these
securities by banks, and other investors.
Consumers, on the other hand, have
continued to add to their debt in both
the residential mortgage market and the
consumer credit market, although consumer credit has shown some letup from
an exceptionally high fourth quarter.
Finally, corporate demands in capital
markets in the first quarter of the year




appear to be little changed from the
very high volume in the final quarter of
last year, but corporations have sharply
accelerated their borrowing from banks
and in the commercial paper market.
Despite this mixed pattern among
major groups, demands for credit have
been substantial and, in a setting of a
tightly restricted supply of lendable
funds, have been reflected in credit
shortages and steeply rising financing
costs.
Financing Costs
After advancing very sharply from
last October to record levels at yearend, interest rates and bond yields
continued on a steady upward course
in the early months of this year (chart
7). However, from late March through
late April, credit market conditions
improved, the rate of advance in
financing costs slackened, and yields
in some longer markets recorded moderate declines.
In short-term markets, the trend of
interest rates over recent months has
been reflected in changes in the prime
rate or the interest charge that banks
assess their most creditworthy business
borrowers. This rate was increased from
6J4 to 7 percent in three equal steps
from early December to early January
and then raised to 7^ percent on
March 17. While most short-term
market rates moved in a generally
parallel path, a noteworthy exception
was the yield on 3-month Treasury
bills. After a pronounced rise late in
1968, bill yields have on balance remained below last year's peak level as
market demand for this type of highly
liquid asset has increased. In part, this
demand for Treasury bills reflects the
recent efforts by corporations and
other institutions to build up their

liquidity as a hedge against further
credit tightening. It also reflects the
shift of funds out of certificates of
deposits into Treasury bills and the
fact that bills provide relatively safe
employment for funds fleeing the uncertainty that has plagued longer term
credit and equity markets.
During the second quarter of this
year, the improvement in the Federal
Government's fiscal position will enable
the Treasury to retire about $5 billion
in public debt. In addition, Government investment accounts during this
period are expected to increase their
purchases of Federal securities by more
than $4 billion. Consequently, debt held
by the public will decline about $9
billion from April through June according to current estimates. This will
accentuate the relative scarcity of this
type of asset and should result in further downward pressure on bill yields in
the months ahead. However, it should
be noted that such a decrease could be
offset by additional tightening action
from the monetary authorities or by
heavy sales of these assets by corporations; in the second quarter of the year,
corporations will be making tax payments substantially in excess of
accruals.
Rise in bond yields
From December through March,
heightened inflationary expectations led
investors to reduce their participation
in bond markets; underwriters encountered increasing difficulty in distributing new issues, and dealers added
to the supply of securities by reducing
inventories. At the same time, a more
stringent credit policy intensified pressure on the commercial banks, which
made large net sales of U.S. Government securities and markedly reduced
their purchases of State and local obligations. As conditions in capital

moved rapidly upward. By the end of
March, rates on corporate Aaa and
State and local Aaa obligations were

stitutions have not encountered the
exceptionally heavy withdrawals that
proved so harmful in 1966. Finally, a
better balanced impact from credit
policy can be expected this year insofar
as fiscal policy is assuming some of the
burden of restraining the economic
expansion.
Commercial Bank Deposits
A leveling in the total deposit liabilities of commercial banks has accompanied this year's step-up in credit
restraint. After increasing at an average
annual rate of 11 percent in 1967 and
1968, total bank deposit liabilities were
unchanged (seasonally adjusted) from
the end of December through April.
During this period, a very small
advance in private demand deposits
was more than offset by a pronounced
decline in time deposits.
Decline in time deposits

Commercial bank time deposits, after
increasing an average $23 billion in
1967 and 1968, declined $10K billion at a
seasonally adjusted annual rate during
the first 4 months of this year. This was
the first pronounced decrease in these
deposits in the postwar period and reflected mainly the pressure from Regulation Q ceilings, which resulted in a

large scale runoff of certificate of deposit
funds.
With the rates that banks can pay for
time deposits low relative to rates investors can earn on open market investments, the large commercial banks have
suffered a severe attrition in their
holdings of CD funds; through April,
the decline amounted to nearly $6
billion. Although pressure from Regulation Q ceilings is not new to the banks,
the deposit drain has never reached
current proportions.

decline in proportion to the CD runoff
since the shift to direct lending converts time deposits to demand deposits.
Here, however, it must be recognized
that in converting from time deposits
(which carry an average 4% percent
reserve requirement) to demand deposits (which carry an average 15%
percent reserve requirement), the required reserves of the banking system
will increase even though total reserves
remain unchanged. This reduces deposit creation and the volume of bank
credit.
Furthermore, it should be noted that
it is the large banks, notably those in
New York, that are losing time deposits
through CD drains, and these are not

the expansion in bank credit was severely reduced.

This squeeze on the banks from
Regulation Q ceilings has a number of
interesting characteristics. For example,
total credit for the economy need not
decline in proportion to the CD runoff,
because former holders of CD balances
may place their funds directly in the
open market (for instance, in the commercial paper market); thus, direct
lending becomes a substitute for bank
lending. Also, the total deposit liabilities of the banking system need not

necessarily the same banks that are
experiencing increases in demand deposits. Thus, pressure from Regulation
Q ceilings may be having a significantly
disproportionate impact on the large
banks. This suggests that policy regarding Regulation Q can be very severe for
those banks suffering net deposit losses
while considerably less restrictive for
the entire banking system. It also
suggests that CD drains may be accentuating the traditional portfolio behavior of banks during tight money periods,
i.e., accentuating their tendency to
limit investments in longer term markets in favor of shorter term, more
liquid investments. Two aspects of this
behavior may be noted. On the one
hand, the banks suffering from net
deposit losses may be forced to make
difficult portfolio adjustment's, such as
selling longer term U.S. Government
securities or State and local securities.
On the other hand, banks benefiting
from gains in demand deposits may
consider these deposits much more
volatile than time deposits and hence
may concentrate their investments in
short term, highly liquid assets.
Growth in money stock slows

During the first 4 months of this year,
the money stock (currency and private
demand deposits) has expanded at a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of
$8 billion.1 This represents a slower
rate of growth than the advance of
nearly $12 billion last year and $11
billion in 1967.
Although the policies of the monetary
authorities have prevented any increase
in the total deposits of commercial
banks, the public has shown a preference for holding demand deposits,
and this, along with an increase in
currency in circulation, has meant a
small expansion in money stock. In
addition to credit tightening by the
monetary authorities, it may be noted
that the pronounced slowdown in the
1. In the early part of April, the money stock registered an
unusual increase that was primarily related to a technical
decline in cash items in process of collection. Since these
items are subtracted from gross demand deposits, this decline
was reflected in a sharp temporary rise in the demand deposits component of the money stock. By the end of April,
however, money stock was lower than its end of March level.
If growth in money stock is measured from the last week in
December to the last week in April, the seasonally adjusted
annual rate of advance is only $2.7 billion.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

May 1969

expansion of the money stock is also—
to a small extent—the result of the
Treasury's decision to build up its
cash balances at commercial banks.
Such deposits are excluded from the
private money stock. When the Treasury decides to spend these deposits
later on, private demand deposits and
money stock will expand.
Greater inflow of Euro-dollars
In recent years, when pressures have
been exerted on bank reserve positions,
some of the large banks with foreign
offices abroad have engaged in heavy
borrowing of Euro-dollars—i.e., dollar
deposits in foreign banks—through their
branch offices. When Euro-dollars are
obtained by branch offices and sent
back to their head offices in the United
States, the funds gained by one U.S.
bank are deposits lost by other U.S.
banks, and the inflow of Euro-dollars
to the United States does not result
in an addition to our money supply or
to bank reserves.2
However, in accounting for Eurodollar borrowings, the head office in the
United States records these as liabilities
owed to foreign branches under "other
liabilities" on their balance sheet.
The significance of this is that under
Federal Reserve regulations, when the
funds are transferred in this way, reserves no longer have to be held against
them. Consequently, for the banking
system as a whole, average required
reserves decline and some expansion of
money and credit can occur.
The use of Euro-dollars by some of
the large U.S. banks during periods
of credit scarcity first emerged on a
significant scale in the last half of
1966. It appeared again in 1968 and,
on a very large scale, over the first
4 months of this year. The bidding for
Euro-dollars by the branches of U.S.

banks has added substantial strains
to the Euro-dollar market. For example,
the London market rate on 3-month
Euro-dollars rose from about 7% percent
at the close of last year to just short of
8% percent by the end of April.

2. When Euro-dollars are obtained by branch offices, they
are in the form of drafts or checks drawn against other U.S.
banks. These drafts or checks are sent to the head office in
the United States for collection. As the checks are cleared,
the head office will acquire reserves and increase its liabilities
to its foreign branch, while the U.S. bank against
which the check is drawn will lose reserves and have an
equivalent decline in its deposits liabilities. The funds
obtained by the head office are then employed to offset
reserve losses resulting from withdrawals of deposits or to
expand its loan portfolio, while the bank losing reserves will
have to contract its loans and investments. Thus, the funds
gained by one U.S. bank are deposits lost by other U.S.
banks, and the inflow of Euro-dollars to the United States
does not result in an addition to our money supply or to bank
reserves.

Furthermore, it should be pointed out
that general credit tightening here and
particularly the resulting heavy U.S.
demand for Euro-dollars have contributed to credit tightening and higher
interest rates in several foreign countries. Although this development was
not entirely unwelcome in countries
suffering from inflationary pressures,
it has recently increased concern over
the possibility that credit restraint
in the United States could have unwanted deflationary effects on foreign
money and credit markets.
Exploring new sources of funds
Pressures from monetary policy have
not only caused some of the large banks
to increase their Euro-dollar borrowing, but have also led them to seek out
new sources of loanable funds. So far
this year, some banks have experimented with several devices that enable
them to offset deposit drains and thus
enlarge their lending capacity. These
include the sale of commercial paper
(by holding companies or subsidiaries),
sales of loan participations to corporations (or in some cases to other banks),
and sales of loans to foreign branches.
The first two of these reflect bankers'
attempts at "re-intermediation," i.e.,
competition for funds that could otherwise be directly transacted between
borrower and lender. The third—the
sales of loans to foreign branches—is
similar in its impact to the transfer c
Euro-dollars discussed above. AlthougL
under some circumstances, these devices can release reserves and lead to
an expansion in credit, they do not lead

Metropolitan Area Income In 1967
JL HE tables in this issue update and
continue the development of the metropolitan area income series introduced
in the May 1967 SURVEY and expanded
in the August 1968 issue. Presented
here are (1) initial estimates of total
and per capita personal income in
metropolitan areas in 1967, (2) minor
revisions in the published estimates of
total income for selected years, 1929-66,
(3) revised estimates of per capita personal income for all years, and (4) a
new series—total personal income on a
where-received basis for all SMSA's for
selected years, 1929-67.
The only revisions made in total
income resulted from corrections in the
estimates for specific SMSA's. The
annual statistical revisions introduced
into the national accounts for 1965 and
1966 have not yet been incorporated
into the SMSA series.
The revision of the per capita income
estimates for all years results mainly
from the development of more detailed
and improved measures of the flow of
commuters from place of work to place
of residence. Also reflected is the incorporation of additional Census data
not used in the earlier estimates.
Income where-received
The addition of a new version of personal income—measured on a wherereceived rather than the where-earned
basis used in the older series—requires
some explanation.
NOTE.—The SMSA estimates were prepared by Barbara
Beacham, Kenneth Berkman, Margaret Cannon, Michael
Carrol, Vivian Conklin, Francis Dallavalle, Linnea Hazen,
Elizabeth Queen, William Reid, Marian Sacks, Victor
Sahadachny, Maurice Schlak, Lyle Spatz, and Sumner
Steinfeldt. Special acknowledgment is made to Nancy
Tritten of OBE's ADP staff.




Personal income is the current income
of persons in an area from all sources.
It is measured before deduction of
income and other personal taxes, but
after deduction of personal contributions to social security, government
retirement, and other social insurance
programs. It consists of wages and
salaries (in cash and in kind and including tips and bonuses as well as
contractual compensation), various types
of supplementary earnings termed
"other labor income" (the largest item
being employer contributions to private
pension and welfare funds), and the
net incomes of owners of unincorporated
businesses (farm and nonfarm, including the incomes of independent
professionals), net rental income, dividends, interest, and government and
business transfer payments (consisting
in general of disbursements to persons
for which no services are rendered
currently, such as unemployment benefits, social security payments, and
welfare and relief payments).
To measure personal income on a
local area basis, criteria for allocating
income to these areas must be established. In the case of labor and entrepreneurial income, the appropriate criteria seem to be place of work and place
of residence of the income recipient.
The difference between the two is the
net flow of commuters' earnings.1 The
distinction between place of work and
residence cannot be applied to the other
components of the income flow—property incomes and transfer payments.
1. Area earnings on a place-of-work basis minus the earnings of persons who work in the given area but reside in
another area plus the earnings of persons who reside in the
given area but work in another area equal area earnings on
a residence basis.

Residence is the only principle of
classification applicable to them.2
Two versions of area personal income
are presented in this report; they differ
in the treatment of the earnings component, which is the sum of wages and
salaries, other labor income, and proprietors' income. In the first version,
termed "where-earned," earnings reflect place of work. In the second version, termed "where-received," earnings reflect place of residence. The same
measures of property and transfer income are used for both versions.
The first version is useful for analyzing an area's income structure by
industrial origin and by type of income.
It provides a tool, for example, for
identifying the factors underlying an
area's economic progress or deterioration or for evaluating the effect of a
remedial program. The second version—
personal income on a where-received
basis—is useful in the analysis of
consumer markets and purchasing
power. When expressed on a per
capita basis, it can also be used as
an indicator of living standards and
welfare.
Personal income is shown on both a
where-earned and a where-received
basis in table 1. The where-earned
total is classified by type of income in
table 1. The earnings component of the
where-earned total is shown by industrial source in table 2.
(Text continued on page 83)
2. In the case of property incomes, an alternative criterion,
resembling the place-of-work criterion, would be possible,
e.g., the allocation of these incomes to the areas in which the
businesses that generate these incomes are located. However,
conceptual and statistical difficulties that have not been
satisfactorily resolved stand in the way of the application of
this criterion. Even if these difficulties did not exist, it
would not be advisable to apply the criterion to the property
income component of personal income. Property income cannot be transformed into a satisfactory measure of the contribution of capital to production, mainly because it excludes
all components of profits other than dividends.

U.S. Exports to Foreign Affiliates of U.S. Firms
This article analyzes 1965 data covering 330 U.S. corporations and their 3,579
foreign affiliates. It provides in considerable detail information on total
exports of the parent companies, and
total purchases of U.S. exports—from
parents and others—by the affiliates.
The article brings out the great
diversity among U.S. firms and industries regarding their export trade
practices. It demonstrates that, among
U.S. firms with foreign affiliates, relatively few firms and affiliates account
for a very large part of U.S. exports,
while a very large number of such firms
and foreign affiliates account for a
relatively small part. Although it is
beyond the scope of this study to show
how foreign investments affect exports,
the study does provide some important
facts that should be helpful in analyzing
the relationship between exports and
direct investments.

opens up new markets for goods produced in this country.
Those concerned that U.S. exports
are being displaced as a result of such
investments point to the fact that sales
by U.S.-owned manufacturing plants
abroad substantially exceed corresponding U.S. exports of manufactured
products, which last year amounted to
about $24 billion.
A major cause for concern is that a
large portion of the overall increase in
sales by foreign manufacturing affiliates
during recent years has resulted from

new investments made in European
countries, which are major competitors
of the United States in world export
markets for manufactured goods. Many
U.S.-owned enterprises based in Europe
and elsewhere in the world produce
goods similar to those manufactured in
the United States. Since these goods
include numerous technologically advanced products developed in this
country, the question is raised as to
whether the investments have eliminated or narrowed the comparative
advantage that might otherwise have

J.HE relationship between merchandise
exports from the United States and
direct investment abroad by U.S.
firms, along with its implications for
the U.S. balance of payments, has long
been a controversial subject. On one
side of this discussion are those who
believe that the establishment of production facilities abroad reduces potential exports from the United States,
and that this adverse effect on the
balance of payments and domestic
production may outweigh the favorable
effects of income receipts from such
investments. On the other side are
those who assert that the output of
foreign production facilities of U.S.
firms supplements rather than displaces
exports from the United States, and
that the expansion of domestic firms
into foreign countries in many cases

enabled the United States to increase
its exports of such products. Indeed, it
has often been said that as soon as a
U.S. manufacturer develops a sizable
foreign market for a given product, he
builds production facilities abroad to
supply that market in lieu of exporting
from the United States.
In support of the viewpoint that
direct investments abroad by U.S. firms
are beneficial to U.S. export trade,
arguments like the following are advanced :
(1) Factors such as relative production costs here and abroad and tariffs
and other restrictions imposed by
foreign countries make it impossible
for many firms to export from the
United States. In order to sell in
foreign markets, these firms have to
establish their own foreign producing
facilities, which generate a flow of
dividends and branch profits back to
this country. Incomes in the host
countries are increased through the
payment of wages and taxes and
through purchases of locally produced
goods and services, with the result that
the host countries' demands for imports, including those from the United
States, also expand.
(2) If investments in foreign productive facilities are not made by U.S.
firms, they will be made by either local
or other foreign firms, so that exports
of these U.S. firms will sooner or later
be lost to foreign competition. The
foreign investments assure at least a
continuing return from profits.
(3) In view of their status as local
residents of the host countries and the
ability acquired in selling in foreign
markets, U.S.-owned foreign affiliates
are in a position to aggressively promote and sell abroad goods produced
in the United States by their parents
that otherwise could not be exported.
(4) U.S. investments in new foreign
producing facilities, especially in the
less developed countries, lead to exports of capital goods from the United
States. This provides a continuing

Scope of article
This article presents data for 1965
collected from 330 U.S. corporations
with foreign affiliates. The data cover
their exports to these affiliates, their
exports to independent foreign buyers,
and the purchases of these affiliates
from independent U.S. firms. Although
these 330 corporations are far from
being the total of all U.S. corporations
with foreign affiliates, they are among
the largest and account for a sufficiently
large part of the export trade to make
the data reasonably representative.
The data have been organized to
indicate the relative importance of
exports to affiliates in (a) total exports
of these companies and (b) total purchases from the United States by their
affiliates. In addition, the data show
the relative importance of the various

35
purposes for which goods are purchased by the foreign affiliates from
the United States—for further processing, for use as capital equipment, and
for resale. Within each of these classes,
the relative importance of the parent
company as a source of supply is
shown. Table A, Summary of Coverage,
shows number of parent firms and their
affiliates, U.S. exports through affiliates
and worldwide exports of the parent
firms, and a listing of some of the
more important tables with detailed
breakdowns.
The article brings out the great
diversity among U.S. firms and industries regarding their export trade
practices. It demonstrates that, among
U.S. firms with foreign affiliates relatively few firms and affiliates account
for a very large part of U.S. exports,
while a very large number of such firms
and foreign affiliates account for a relatively small part of U.S. exports.

eluded in this study totaled over $5.1
billion in 1965. ($4.5 billion through
parents and $0.6 billion through other
U.S. sources). More than half of the
$5.1 billion was accounted for by less
than 2 percent of the affiliates. For
more than four-fifths of the affiliates
either no U.S. exports or U.S. exports
of less than $1 million were reported
(chart 11).
(4) Of the $5.1 billion, almost half
($2.5 billion) consisted of goods exported by the U.S. parents and sold
abroad by the affiliates without further
manufacture. Seven percent ($350 million) represented purchases of U.S.
capital equipment. One-third ($1.7 billion) represented exports for further
processing or assembly abroad, while
the remainder represented exports for
other purposes and for which no breakdown is available.
(5) In addition to the $2.5 billion
exported by U.S. parents and resold
abroad by affiliates, parents made
comparable U.S. export sales to unaffiliated foreign customers amounting
to $4.1 billion. Thus, $6.6 billion of the
$8.5 billion total cited above represented export sales to independent
foreign purchasers.
Nearly half of the $2.5 billion was
sold by a little over 1 percent of the
affiliates. Almost 90 percent of the
affiliates surveyed sold no U.S. exports
or less than $1 million.
(6) Half of the purchases of U.S.
capital equipment were made by only
16 individual foreign affiliates. Since
the data are reported by the parents,
and since the affiliates may have purchased capital equipment from independent U.S. sources unknown to the
parent companies, reported purchases
of U.S. capital equipment by the
affiliates may be incomplete.
(7) Well over half of the reported
$1.7 billion of U.S. exports for further
processing or assembly abroad was
purchased by only 25 individual affiliates, among whom Canadian auto
companies were most prominent. More
than 90 percent of the affiliates for
which data are available made no
purchases in the United States of goods
for further processing or assembly
abroad or purchases of less than $1
million.

exports. Attribution of an export to a
specific U.S. firm becomes more complicated, however, under other circumstances. This occurs when a U.S. parent
company charges and ships goods that
it has purchased from other suppliers,
or if charges and shipments—or the
shipments alone—are made directly by
the other supplier, while the original
orders and specifications are given to
that supplier by the U.S. parent company. In all these cases, it may be
claimed that the export originated with
the parent and was directed to its
foreign affiliate.
The records used in this study are
based largely on the accounting data on
the books of the parents and their

as included in balance of payments
tabulations.
Definitional problems

In measuring the size of exports to
foreign affiliates, major problems arise
in the definition and determination of
the exporter. For instance, a U.S. parent
company may sell and ship goods that
it manufactured to a foreign affiliate for
further processing or resale by this
affiliate. In that case, the parent's
financial records of charges to this
affiliate would coincide with data based
on actual shipments to the affiliate, and
there would be no question in identifying the exporter and the recipient of the

May 1969

foreign affiliates. The books of the parent companies show the foreign affiliates
that were charged and the amounts
involved. They do not reflect U.S. exports charged directly by other U.S.
suppliers to the foreign affiliates even if
such exports were ordered by the parent
companies. However, the reporters were
requested to obtain data on such transactions from their foreign affiliates and
to report them among the purchases by
the foreign affiliates from independent
suppliers in the United States. The
affiliate that is charged on the books of
the parent company may not be located
in the country to which the goods were
actually shipped. This explains why
some of the exports of parts and mate-

The reporting parents' books showed,
in addition to the $4.2 billion of outright purchases of U.S. exports by
their foreign affiliates, $0.3 billion in
U.S. exports consigned to their affiliates
for sale by the affiliates on a commission
basis.
The remaining $0.6 billion that made
up the reported total of $5.1 billion
reflected purchases in the United States
made directly by the affiliates from
suppliers other than the parents—•
purchases billed or charged directly to
the affiliates (rather than to the U.S.
parents) on the books of the suppliers
involved. These data (tables 4 and 5)

In table 4, the $4.2 billion of affiliates'
purchases from the parents are shown
according to whether reported as exports "made by parents" or exports
"made by others." The $4.0 billion
reported by the parents as made by
them undoubtedly includes some products of U.S. suppliers other than the
parents that were shipped or sold by the
parents and/or to which title was passed
by the parents to their affiliates. The
$0.2 billion reported as "made by
others" should therefore be interpreted
as a minimum figure for sales of non-

About $4.2 billion of the $5.1 billion
total of reported export transactions
consisted of outright purchases by the
foreign affiliates from the parents as
reflected in charges or billings on the
books of the parents to the foreign
affiliates (table B). The $4.2 billion of
such purchases includes, in addition to
exports produced by the parents themselves, exports from other U.S. sources
to the extent that such exports were
billed by the suppliers to the parents
which in turn resold and billed the goods
to their foreign affiliates.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

the extent that their foreign affiliates
maintained the necessary records and
were willing to make detailed examinations of such records in order to supply
the information.
Parents and Affiliates With No
Reported Exports
Before examining the characteristics
of the U.S. and foreign firms that actually contributed to the $5.1 billion total
(table 6), we shall consider the foreign
affiliates that made no contributions to
U.S. exports. The very large number of
both parents and affiliates with no exports is significant in evaluating the
claim that the establishment of foreign
affiliates in most cases directly increases exports.
About one of every eight of the 330
parents reported either that no exports
from this country had been channeled
through their foreign affiliates or that
such exports amounted to less than the
minimum report able amount of $100
thousand for each of their affiliates
(table?).
Among the 3,579 foreign affiliates
belonging to the 330 reporting parents,
1,651 affiliates were in this category.
Of these, 717 were manufacturing enterprises (nearly 40 percent of the total
number of such enterprises included in
this study) and 934 were affiliates
engaged in other activities (55 percent
of the total number under study (chart
11).
Among other findings brought out in
table 8 are the following:
(1) A very large number, more than
half (52 percent) of all the manufacturing affiliates are reported to
have made no purchases in the United
States of goods for use in their processing and assembly operations. The corresponding percentages for affiliates
engaged in manufacturing food products, paper, chemicals, and fabricated
metals were in excess of 52 percent,
while those for enterprises in the
machinery and transportation equipment industries, and particularly the
rubber products industry, were lower
than the average for manufacturing
affiliates as a whole.
(2) Four-fifths of all the manufacturing affiliates and four-fifths of all the

1. According to the instructions for Form BE-134 on which the data were collected, purchases of U.S. exports were reportable if they totaled $100,000 or more for an individual affiliate.
2. Some reporters (a small minority) supplied data on total exports channeled through their affiliates, but were unable
to furnish a complete breakdown by category of exports. The percentages shown in columns 2 through 6 are accordingly based
on the numbers shown in column 1 adjusted to eliminate those few parents reporting "not available" for the individual category of exports designated in each column.

terprises located in each of the other
three major areas shown in table 8.
On the basis of the percentages
shown in table 8A, manufacturing
affiliates located in continental Europe
were much less inclined to buy U.S.
exports than similar enterprises located
in the United Kingdom. Manufacturing
affiliates in the Common Market and
the rest of continental Europe that were
reported to have made no expenditures
for U.S. exports of any type accounted
for 45 and 54 percent, respectively, of
the total number studied, while those
in the United Kingdom constituted only

29 percent of the corresponding number
of firms surveyed. The same broad
pattern holds for individual categories
of U.S. exports (table 8A).
Other non-Western Hemisphere countries—Among manufacturing affiliates
in the less developed countries, those
buying no U.S. exports numbered
nearly one of every two studied.
Among the developed nations (Japan,
South Africa, and Australia), affiliates
with no exports accounted for about
one in every three enterprises surveyed
(table 8B).
Although in this area nearly 77

May 1969

percent of the 249 petroleum affiliates
for which data are available purchased
no capital equipment in the United
States, this percentage was not as high
as for oil affiliates in Western Hemisphere countries.
Western Hemisphere countries, except
Canada—Although it might have been
anticipated that the great majority of
U.S.-owned firms in this area purchase
U.S. exports in connection with their
manufacturing operations, this is apparently not the case. The percentage

Hemisphere countries other than

Canada that bought no U.S. exports
(45 percent of the 534 enterprises for
which data are available) was greater
than for affiliates located in both
European and other non-Western Hemisphere countries (table 8).
In the case of goods for further
processing or assembly, 55 percent of
all Latin American manufacturing operations studied involved no U.S.
exports of this type. This proportion
was almost as high as the corresponding percentage for U.S.-owned manufacturing enterprises located in Europe.
However, relatively fewer manufacturing firms in Latin America than in
other areas, particularly in Europe,
made no expenditures for U.S. exports
of capital equipment. Although such
affiliates in Latin America still numbered more than three of every four
surveyed, this finding may reflect the
relatively small amount of total plant
and equipment expenditures by all
U.S.-owned manufacturing affiliates in
this area during 1965. (See March 1969
SURVEY.)
No U.S. exports of capital equipment were reported for about two of
every three Latin American mining
affiliates. This incidence was less than
was reported for mining affiliates in
Canada and other countries. However,
U.S.-owned petroleum enterprises in
Latin America were less inclined to
buy U.S. capital equipment than those
located in Europe and other nonWestern Hemisphere countries, a finding that again may be correlated with
the smaller outlays for plant and
equipment by oil affiliates in Latin
America than in other areas.
Canada—In contrast to the relatively
high proportions in Europe, Latin
America, and the rest of the world,
only 19 percent of Canadian manufacturing firms bought no exports from
the United States. Corresponding percentages for Canadian affiliates engaged
in each of the nine major manufacturing industries shown separately in table
8 were, with only one exception, significantly smaller than the same percentages for affiliates located in each
of the other three major geographic
areas shown.
Similar comparisons of the percentages of U.S.-owned manufacturing affil


SUKVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

iates in each area that made no
purchases of U.S. exports in the two
most important categories—goods for
further processing or assembly and
goods for resale—also seem to confirm
that major differences exist between
the purchasing policies of Canadian
and non-Canadian m a n u f a c t u r i n g
enterprises.
The evidence in table 8 that U.S.owned manufacturing affiliates in Canada are more inclined to purchase
U.S. exports than those located in
other countries is also supported by
other data, which appear later in the
article.
The greater inclination on the part
of Canadian than other U.S.-owned
foreign firms to make purchases in the
United States is not surprising, in view
of the fact that the Canadian economy
is in general more oriented toward
trade with the United States than are
the economies of other countries. Factors such as relative costs, transportation charges, ready access to and
familiarity with U.S. supply sources,
and similarity of products consumed
on either side of the border undoubtedly
give U.S. exports a relative advantage
in the Canadian market.
Furthermore, U.S. parents tend to
have closer ties with their Canadian
affiliates than with their affiliates in
other countries. Many parents, in their
organizational structures, treat their
operations in Canada as an integral
part of their domestic activities, but
handle the operations of their enterprises in other countries through a
separate "international" division or
subsidiary.
Parents and Affiliates
Reporting Exports
Concentration among parents

The following discussion deals with
the $5.1 billion of U.S. exports purchased by the foreign affiliates from
their parents and other U.S. suppliers.
It shows how the $5.1 billion was dis
tributed among the 1,928 foreign affiliates that contributed to this total and
among their 291 parents. The data
pertaining to parents refer to their own
exports to affiliates and the purchases
by the affiliates from other U.S. sources.

May I960

Among the 291 parents, 11 (less than
4 percent) reported purchases of U.S.
goods by their affiliates amounting to
$100 million or more. The reports submitted by these 11 firms alone added
up to $2.6 billion and thus accounted
for a little over half of the $5.1 billion
total. Ten other firms reported purchases of U.S. goods by their affiliates of
from $50 million to $100 million and
accounted for nearly $0.7 billion of the
remaining $2.5 billion. Thus, the affiliates of 21 U.S. parent companies, or 7
percent of the 291 parents, accounted
for nearly 65 percent of the $5.1 billion
of U.S. exports purchased by the 1,928
affiliates.
Of the 21 parents in the top size classification in table 9—$50 million and
over—four, engaged in the manufacture of motor vehicles and parts, reported a total of $1.5 billion in U.S.
export purchases by their affiliates.
Five were in the machinery industry
and accounted for about $0.7 billion.
As table 9 shows, there was also a
very unequal distribution of the remaining $1.8 billion among the U.S. parents
that individually reported less than $50
million of U.S. exports purchased by
their affiliates.
Concentration among

affiliates

On the "basis of distributions in table
10, only 3.2 percent of the 1,928 affiliates purchasing U.S. exports were
responsible for 51 percent of the $5.1
billion total. The 3.2 percent comprised
just 61 affiliates—those that had $15
million or more in U.S. exports channeled through them.
Manujacturing affiliates.—Table 11
summarizes the data for the manufacturing affiliates with the largest export purchases, 37 firms in the "$15
million and over" group. Of these,
seven Canadian affiliates in the transportation equipment industry collectively spent more than $900 million
while the other nine foreign enterprises
in the same industry spent a little less
than $250 million.
Among the 10 machinery producing
affiliates in the "$15 million and over"
group, those located in Canada also
made larger purchases, on the average,
than those located in Europe and
elsewhere.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

May 1960

Although seven firms in the chemical
industry were among the manufacturing enterprises involving U.S. exports
in excess of $15 million, their average
purchases were considerably less than
average purchases in the machinery and
transportation equipment industries.
Of the $1.5 billion reported for the
remaining 1,115 manufacturing affiliates that individually purchased less
than $15 million of U.S. exports, about
$625 million was concentrated in 74
enterprises whose individual purchases
ranged from $5 million to $15 million.
Nonmanufacturing affiliates—As table
10 shows, nearly half of the $1.9 billion
in U.S. exports reported for affiliates
in industries other than manufacturing
was accounted for by 24 individual
enterprises in the "$15 million and
over" classification. Among 15 distribution affiliates in this grouping, seven
that were based in Switzerland alone
were responsible for almost half a
billion dollars in U.S. exports (table 12).
All of the three mining operations
and four of the six petroleum enterprises involving U.S. exports of $15
million or more were located in Western
Hemisphere countries. Only one such
petroleum enterprise was based in the
Middle East.

Exports for Further
Processing
As discussed previously, about onethird of the reported $5.1 billion total
was in U.S. exports for further processing or assembly abroad. Of the 225
parents reporting that their affiliates
had purchased such exports, four (1.8
percent) accounted for over $850 million of the $1.7 billion total (tables 13
and 13 A).
Three of these four were in the
motor vehicle industry. While there
were no other parents whose affiliates
taken as a group purchased as much as
$50 million, there were 15 whose affiliates made purchases ranging from $15
million to under $50 million,-these accounted for 21 percent of the $1.7
billion total of reported exports.

and assembly category included just
25 whose expenditures amounted to
$10 million or more. Together they
spent $940 million, $150 million more
than the collective amount reported
for all of the other 1,046 affiliates
(table 14A).
Eleven of the 25 enterprises were
manufacturers of automobiles, and five
of these, located in Canada, accounted
for almost $500 million. Most of the
exports to Canada were not under the

U.S.-Canadian Automotive Products
Trade Act which did not become
effective until late in October 1965.
This act led to a large expansion of
trade in automotive products between
U.S. parents and their Canadian
affiliates.
The other six auto manufacturing
affiliates that spent $10 million or more
for U.S. exports for further processing
accounted as a group for a little over
$100 million. Most of these affiliates

parents. Among the remaining 223
other machinery-producing affiliates
that purchased U.S. exports in connection with their manufacturing operations, only 10 had outlays amounting
to $5 million or more. In contrast, over
170 spent less than $1 million in this
category each.
Of the 264 chemical affiliates that
reportedly made some expenditures for
U.S. exports in the processing or
assembly category, only three made
purchases in excess of $10 million, and

only 7 more were in the "$5 million and
over" class. This group of 10 included
predominantly manufacturers of industrial materials.
Among the remaining 300 or so
affiliates in other manufacturing industries that purchased such exports, only
eight spent $5 million or more.
As table C shows, expenditures by
all manufacturing affiliates in Canada
that purchased U.S. exports for further
processing and assembly averaged $4%
million, more than four times as much

as comparable expenditures by such
affiliates located elsewhere in the world.
The average for Canada is, of course,
heavily weighted by the large purchases
made by affiliates in the transportation
equipment industry ($28,200,000 as
compared with $4,1-02,000 for transportation equipment affiliates in other
countries). However, it also reflects the
larger average purchases made by
Canadian affiliates in other manufacturing industries, particularly machinery and chemicals, than by affiliates
in the same industries based in other
countries.
Exports of Capital Equipment
A total of $356 million was reported
as purchases of U.S. capital equipment
by affiliates. Although this may be a
serious understatement, a few points
may be noted.

Of the 146 parents which indicated
that their affiliates had bought U.S.
exports in this category, only 13 (less
than 9 percent) reported that such
purchases amounted to $5 million or
over. Among these, just seven reported
that such expenditures amounted to as
much as $15 million. The reports of the
13 totaled almost $270 million, thus
accounting for three-fourths of the $356
million total (tables 13 and 13A). The
13 were about evenly divided between
manufacturing and nonmanufacturing
industries.
Among nonmanufacturing parents,
four petroleum firms reported capital
equipment exports to their affiliates
aggregating $5 million or more.
Of the 16 affiliates whose reported
purchases of capital equipment in the
United States amounted to $5 million

While the final destinations of the
U.S. exports sold by foreign distribution affiliates are largely unknown, the
countries of destination of U.S. exports
sold by manufacturing affiliates were
in most cases the same as those in
which the selling affiliates were based.
Of the $1.2 billion total of U.S. exports
involved (including $1.1 billion of purchases for resale and $0.1 billion sold
on a commission basis), all but about
$60 million was apparently shipped

which the affiliates were located.
Almost half of the $1.2 billion was
sold by manufacturing affiliates in
Canada, and another $350 million by
those in Europe. Of the remaining $275
million or so, nearly $150 million was
sold by firms in Western Hemisphere
countries (particularly in Mexico).
Canada—Over $230 million of the
reported $580 million of U.S. exports
sold by U.S.-owned Canadian manufacturing enterprises (tables 14C and
14D) reflected the sales of six affiliates
in the transportation equipment industry, each of which was responsible
for a minimum of $10 million. Another
$90 million was channeled through two
machinery manufacturing affiliates.
Other Western Hemisphere—In contrast to Canadian manufacturing affiliates, which sold more than four times
the amount of U.S. exports as Canadian distribution firms, manufacturing
affiliates (for which reports are available), and which are located in the
rest of the Western Hemisphere sold
fewer U.S. exports (about $150 million)
than corresponding distribution firms
based in that area (about $210 million).
Only seven manufacturing affiliates

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

May 1969

in the area were involved in selling
U.S. exports to the extent of $5 million
or more. Five of these were based in
Mexico and collectively sold a little
over $40 million.
Of the $360 million of U.S. exports
sold by both manufacturing and distribution affiliates based in the rest of
the Western Hemisphere (excluding
Canada), over $150 million was resold
before shipment from the United States.
Although some of the $150 million
undoubtedly went to final customers
in this area, it appears on the basis of
partial data that a large part of it was
shipped to ultimate customers outside
the Western Hemisphere.
Europe—As tables 14C and 14D
show, sales of U.S. exports by the
European-based manufacturing affiliates covered in this study (about $350
million including sales on a commission
basis) were also less than comparable
sales by the European-based distribution affiliates for which data are available (about $690 million). All but $40
million of the $350 million was actually
shipped to the European countries in
which the affiliates responsible for the
sales were located; in contrast, the
$690 million includes at least $500 million sold before leaving the United
States and hence shipped directly from
the United States to countries other
than those in which the distribution
firms were based. In addition to the
$310 million and $190 million shipped
to Europe for sale by European manufacturing and distribution affiliates respectively, a significant portion of the
$540 million that was resold before
leaving the United States may also
have been shipped to Europe. Furthermore, a part of the reported $210 million of sales to non-European affiliates
for resale to customers in third countries
may have been shipped to Europe.
While about 325 of the more than

700 European manufacturing affiliates
studies were engaged in selling U.S.
exports and thus contributed to the
$350 million, only 19 of these were
involved to the extent of $5 million or
more each. The 19, predominantly
manufacturers of machinery and chemicals, together accounted for nearly half
the $350 million total and were based
mainly in the United Kingdom, Belgium,
and France.
Best of the world—Although approximately 145 of the remaining 334 foreign
manufacturing enterprises included in
this survey (those located in Africa,
Asia, and Oceania) sold some U.S.
exports, their combined sales amounted
to only about $130 million. Three
affiliates in Australia, two in South
Africa, and one in Japan, each of which
sold a minimum of $5 million, collectively accounted for about half of the
$130 million total.
The $130 million compares with a
little over $50 million of sales of U.S.
exports by distribution firms based in
this area. Among the latter, only one
each in Australia and New Zealand had
sales amounting to as much as $5 million (table 14C).
Apparently, only about $5 million of
the $180 million in sales by both manufacturing and distribution affiliates was
resold before shipment from the United
States.
Petroleum

affiliates

In addition to the sales of U.S. exports by manufacturing and distribution affiliates, about $155 million was
sold by U.S.-owned enterprises in the
petroleum industry and another $65
million by affiliates engaged in other
activities. A large part of the $155
million in sales by firms in the oil industry was accounted for by enterprises
belonging to a very small number of
parents.

Revised Estimates of Retail Sales, 1961-64
In March 1969, the Bureau of the Census updated the monthly seasonal factors
for sales of retail stores for the period starting January 1965. The following table
carries the revision of seasonally adjusted sales back to January 1961. Also presented
here are other series affected by this revision: total manufacturing and trade sales and
stock-sales ratios for retail stores and for manufacturing and trade combined. The new
seasonally adjusted series supersede those published in the November 1968 SURVEY;
the unadjusted data are unaffected.
The new seasonals for retail sales utilize the X-ll version of the Census Bureau's
Method II seasonal adjustment program.

CURRENT BUSINESS STATISTICS

J_HE STATISTICS here update series published in the 1967 edition of BUSINESS STATISTICS, biennial statistical supplement to the SURVEY
OF CURRENT BUSINESS. That volume (price $2.50) provides a description of each series, references to sources of earlier figures, and historical data
as follows: For all series, monthly or quarterly, 1963 through 1966 (1956-66 for major quarterly series), annually, 1939-66; for selected series,
monthly or quarterly, 1947-66 (where available). Series added or significantly revised after the 1967 BUSINESS STATISTICS went to press are indicated
by an asterisk (*) and a dagger (f), respectively; certain revisions for 1966 issued too late for inclusion in the 1967 volume appear in the monthly
SURVEY beginning with the September 1967 issue. Also, unless otherwise noted, revised monthly data for periods not shown herein corresponding
to revised annual data are available upon request.
Statistics originating in Government agencies are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely. Data from private sources are provided through
the courtesy of the compilers, and are subject to their copyrights.
1966

Unless otherwise stated, statistics through 1966
and descriptive notes are shown in the 1967
