the BUSINESS SITUATION
DEVISED estimates show that real
GNP increased at an annual rate of
4x/2 percent in the first quarter of
1987; the preliminary estimates had
shown about the same rate of increase (table I).1 Several components
of real GNP registered offsetting revisions, although the broad picture of
the economy, as sketched in last
month's
"Business
Situation,"
changed little. The largest upward revisions were in inventory investment
($4 billion) and in noiiresidential fixed
investment ($4 billion). The largest
downward revisions were in personal
consumption expenditures ($4 billion)
and in net exports ($3 billion). In net
exports, an upward revision in imports overshadowed an upward revision in exports. The increase in the
GNP price index (fixed weights) was
revised up, to 4 percent, from the 3V2percent preliminary estimate. The
upward revision largely reflected
newly available data on export arid
import prices.
The -revision in inventories largely
reflected newly available March data
for manufacturing and trade. The revision in nonresidential fixed investment largely reflected revised Census
construction put-in-place data for January and February. The bulk of the
downward revision in personal consumption expenditures, which was
spread across major subcomponents,
reflected revised retail sales data for
February and March. The downward
revision in net exports reflected
newly available March data on merchandise exports and imports.

1. Quarterly estimates in the national income and
product accounts are expressed at seasonally adjusted
annual rates, and quarterly changes in them are differences between these rates. Quarter-to-quarter percent changes are compounded to annual rates. Real,
or constant-dollar, estimates are expressed in 1982 dollars.




Corporate Profits
Profits from current production—
profits before tax with inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) and capital
consumption adjustment (CCAdj)—increased $221/2 billion in the first quarter of 1987, following a $9 billion increase in the fourth quarter of 1986.
Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations accounted for all of the
first-quarter increase after accounting
for less than one-half of the fourthquarter increase. Small changes in domestic profits of financial corporations and in profits from the rest of
the world were offsetting.
Profits before tax (PBT) increased
$7 billion in the first quarter, following an increase of $19 billion in the
fourth. The much larger increase in
profits from current production than
in PBT is due to the CCAdj, which increased $15V2 billion. The CCAdj, like
the IVA (which changed little in the

first quarter), is reflected in the current production measure but not in
PBT.
The CCAdj is the difference between depreciation based largely on
tax accounting, on the one hand, and
economic depreciation as defined by
BEA, on the other. The Tax Reform
Act of 1986 (TEA) permitted more accelerated depreciation for tax purposes. An increase in tax-based depreciation, which was not matched by a
similar increase in economic depreciation, produced the very large increase
in CCAdj in the first quarter.
Profits after tax (PAT) declined $8
billion in the first quarter. The difference between the $8 billion decline in
PAT and the $7 billion increase in
PBT reflected a $15 billion increase in
corporate profits tax liabilities. The
increase in tax liabilities occurred despite a substantial reduction in statutory tax rates under the TRA; the
effect of the reduction in statutory

NOTE.—For the first quarter of 1987, the following revised or additional major source data were incorporated: For personal
consumption expenditures, revised retail sales for February and March; for nonresidential fixed investment, manufacturers'
shipments of equipment for February (revised) and March, construction put in place for January and February (revised) and
March, and partial information on actual plant and equipment expenditures for the quarter; for residential investment,
construction put in place for February (revised) and March; for change in business inventories, book values for manufacturing and
trade for February (revised) and March; for net exports of goods and services, merchandise exports and merchandise imports for
March; for government purchases of goods and services, Federal unified budget outlays for March, and State and local construction

billion larger than the preliminary estimate issued in April. The revision
was largely in nonwithheld income
taxes—declarations (estimated tax
payments) and net settlements (final
tax payments less refunds on the preceding year's taxes)—and resulted
from the incorporation of additional
collections data from the Treasury
Department.)
Expenditures increased $5 billion,
compared to $13 billion in the fourth
quarter. The first-quarter increase reflected several large, partly offsetting
changes in the components. One of
the large increases was in national
defense purchases of goods and services, which had declined in the fourth
quarter. The increase was concentrated in purchases of services, which
were up $6 billion and included $2 billion for a 3-percent military and civilian pay raise, effective January 1,
1987. Subsidies less the current surplus of government enterprises also
recorded a large increase, the net
result of a $13 billion increase in subsidies to farmers and a $5 billion decrease in the deficit of the Commodity
Credit Corporation (CCC). Transfer
payments to persons increased $4 Vfe
billion, including $3V2 billion for a 1.3
percent cost-of-living adjustment for a
number
of programs; the largest—
$2x/2 billion—was for social security
benefits.
Of the declines, the largest was in
nondefense purchases of goods and
services. The $12 billion decline was
accounted for by purchases of agricultural commodities by the CCC. The
nondefense pay raise—$1 billion—was
offset by declines in other purchases.
Transfer payments to foreigners declined $4 billion; the decline was in
both economic and military aid.
Grants-in-aid to State
and local governments declined $lx/2 billion from a
fourth-quarter level that had included
a one-time payment ($2x/2 billion at
an annual rate) to Louisiana in settlement of disputed outer continental
shelf oil revenues. All other grants,
on balance, increased $1 billion; the
largest increase was for highways
($lx/2 billion), and the largest decreases were for education and for
food and nutrition ($¥2 billion each).
Cyclically adjusted surplus or deficit.—When measured using cyclical
adjustments based on middle-expansion trend GNP, the Federal deficit
on the national income and product

May 1987

account basis declined from $196.6 in
the fourth quarter to $189.3 in the
first. The cyclically adjusted deficit as
a percentage of middle-expansion
trend GNP decreased from 4.6 percent in the fourth to 4.4 percent in
the first.
State and local sector.—State and
local government surplus declined $8
billion in the first quarter to $51 ¥2
billion, as expenditures increased
more than receipts. The decline in the
surplus was concentrated in other
funds, which swung from a small surplus in the fourth quarter to a $5x/2
billion deficit in the first; the social
insurance funds surplus declined $1
billion to $57 billion.
Receipts increased $3V2 billion,
compared with $5x/2 billion in the
fourth quarter. Indirect business tax
and nontax accruals—including $1V2
billion for sales tax increases in Nebraska, Texas, and Virginia—and corporate profits tax accruals increased.
Partly offsetting these increases were
declines in Federal grants-in-aid, contributions for social insurance, and
personal tax and nontax receipts. The
decline in contributions was from a
fourth-quarter level that included a
one-time employer contribution ($1.8
billion at an annual rate) to the Los
Angeles County retirement system.
The decline in personal taxes was due
to the indirect effects of TRA on State
and local income taxes.
Expenditures increased $11V2 billion, compared with $10% billion in
the fourth quarter. Most of the increase was in purchases of goods and
services, which increased at about the
same pace as in the fourth quarter.
Excluding the Los Angeles County retirement contribution, which was in-

largely due to purchases of structures;
construction of highways had declined
in the fourth quarter but resumed an
upward trend in the first.

cluded in compensation in the fourth
quarter, purchases increased
$11 billion, compared with $6x/2 billion in
the fourth quarter. That step-up was

1. The inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) shown in this table differs from the IVA that
adjusts business incomes. The IVA in this table reflects the mix of methods (first-in, first-out;
last-in, first-out; etc.) underlying book value inventories derived primarily from Census Bureau
statistics. This mix differs from that underlying business income derived primarily from
Internal Revenue Service statistics. Prior to 1973, the two IVA's are the same because
information required for separate estimates is not available.

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 quarterly rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Business final sales equals final sales less gross product
of households and institutions, government, and rest of the world, and includes a small amount
of final sales by farms.

NOTE.—The fixed-weighted price index and the chain price index, both of which are weighted
averages of the detailed prices used in the deflation of GNP, are measures of price change. In
calculating changes in these indexes, the composition of GNP is held constant. Consequently
these changes reflect only changes in prices. The fixed-weighted price index measures price
change over any period, using as weights the composition of GNP in 1982. The chain price index
measures price change between two consecutive periods, using as weights the composition of

GNP in the first period. The implicit price deflator is a byproduct of the deflation of GNP. It is
derived as the ratio of current- to constant-dollar GNP (multiplied by 100). It it the average of
the detailed prices used in the deflation of GNP, but the prices are weighted by the composition
of GNP in each period. Consequently, the implicit price deflator reflects not only changes in
prices but also changes in the composition of GNP, and its use as a measure of price change
should be avoided.

Relationship Between Personal Income and
Adjusted Gross Income, 1983-85
THE reconciliation of the

Bureau of
Economic Analysis (BEA) measure of
personal income with the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) measure of adjusted gross income (AGI) by type of
income for 1983 is revised and1 extended to 1984-85 in this article. The
reconciliation incorporates personal
income estimates for 1983-85 published in the July 1986 national
1. Estimates for earlier years are in "Relationship
Between Personal Income and Adjusted Gross Income:
Revised Estimates, 1947-83," SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS 66 (May 1986): 34-40. In the National
Income and Product Account Tables, the reconciliation appears in table 8.14.

income and product accounts revision,
final estimates of AGI for 1983-84,
and a preliminary estimate of AGI for
1985. The personal income estimates
for 1984 and 1985 will be subject to
further revisions.
The reconciliation items (lines 3-9
and 11-15) in tables 1-3 allow the
construction from personal income
(line 1) of a BEA-derived AGI (line 22)
that conforms to the IRS definition of
AGI (line 23). The difference between
the BEA-derived AGI and the IRS
measure of AGI is called the AGI gap
(line 29). The AGI gap can be viewed

as evidence of noncompliance with
the tax code, but with the following
caveats: The AGI gap includes income
earned by low-income individuals who
are not required to file income tax returns, unreported income identified
by IRS audit programs that is included in personal income, gross errors
and omissions in the estimate of reconciliation items, and the net effect of
errors
in personal income and AGI of
IRS.2
2. For a discussion of why the AGI gap is not a
measure of the size of the underground economy, see
Carol S. Carson, "The Underground Economy: An Introduction," SURVEY 64 (July 1984): 107.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

May 1987

For 1984 and 1985 a new type of
income is shown. The addition results
from provisions of the 1983 Social Security Amendments and Railroad Retirement Solvency Act, which—beginning in tax year 1984—made portions
of old-age, survivors, and disability insurance (OASDI) benefits and railroad
retirement benefits subject to income
tax. In 1984 and 1985 personal income
includes $177.6 billion and $188.0 billion of these benefits, respectively, of
which BEA estimated that the taxable portion was $26.8 billion and

19

percent for 1984 and 1985, respectively. A recent IRS study indicates that
the gap is mostly accounted for by
nonreporting of benefits by recipients
who are not required to file a tax
return.3 In addition, it is likely that
many recipients did not report the
benefits because they were unaware
of the law change.

$27.9 billion. (These amounts are
shown in tables 2 and 3 in line 1 of
the newly added column called "taxable social security benefits.") In both
of those years, however, taxpayers reported $51.8 billion and $65.6 billion,
respectively, in total benefit payments
on tax returns, of which $7.9 billion
and $9.7 billion were included in AGI.
Consequently, the AGI gap for taxable social security and railroad retirement benefits as a percentage of
the corresponding BEA-derived benefits is large—70.6 percent and 65.1

Pollution Abatement and Control Expenditures, 1982-85
Ri
L/EAL expenditures for pollution
abatement and control (PAC) increased 4.0 percent in 1985, about
one-half the 1984 rate of increase and
the same as the 1983 rate. PAC expenditures had declined in the preceding 3 years.
These expenditures are for goods
and services that U.S. residents use to
produce cleaner air and water and to
dispose of solid waste; they consist of
expenditures for pollution abatement,
regulation and monitoring, and research and development.1 Pollution
abatement (PA) directly reduces pollutant emissions by preventing the
generation of pollutants, recycling
them, or treating them prior to discharge. Regulation and monitoring is
a government activity that stimulates
and guides action to reduce pollutant
emissions. Research and development
not only supports abatement, but also
helps increase the efficiency of regulation and monitoring. PA expenditures—which account for over ninetenths of PAC expenditures—increased 4.4 percent in 1985. Spending
for regulation and monitoring declined 7.9 percent, and spending for
research and development declined
1.1 percent.
The first section of this article discusses real PAC spending in 1985,
1. PAC spending covers most, but not all, PAC activities, which are defined as those resulting from
rules and regulations restricting the release of pollutants into common-property media such as the air and
water; PAC spending excludes (1) PAC activities that
do not use productive resources (e.g., plant closings
due to PAC, delays in plant construction, or curtailments in the use of chemicals in manufacturing and
agriculture) and (2) PAC activities that, although resource-using, are nonmarket activities (e.g., volunteer
litter removal).
Estimates of PAC spending are based directly or indirectly on surveys. About three-fifths of the total estimate is based directly on surveys of PAC spending.
The remainder is based on more general survey information and assumptions necessary to utilize this information. For further information, see "Pollution Abatement and Control Expenditures, Revised Estimates for
1972-83 and Estimates for 1984," SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS 66 (July 1986).




price change for PAC goods and services in 1985, and likely 1986 real
spending. The next section describes
patterns of real PAC spending in
1983-85. The final section provides an
overview of trends in real PAC spending in 1972-85.
Tables 1-5 summarize the major
features of the PAC estimates. Table
1 provides an overview of 1985 real
spending. Tables 2 and 3 highlight
changes in spending and prices by
type of PAC and changes in spending
by sector, respectively. Table 4 provides more information by type of
PAC; it organizes estimates according
to definitions from PAC legislation.
Table 5, organized in the same way,
shows average annual growth rates in
real PAC spending for 1972-85 and
subperiods. The underlying detailed
PAC estimates, prepared in a framework consistent with the national economic accounts, are in tables 6 and 7
for 1982-85. In table 6, the functions
of purchases (PA, regulation and
monitoring, and research and development), the purchasing sectors (persons, business, and government), and
accounting distinctions (capital account, current account) are in the
rows, and types of PAC (air, water,
solid waste, and other) are the columns. In table 7, additional detail for
business and government purchases is
given for air and water pollution
abatement. (Estimates for years prior
NOTE.—Gary L. Rutledge, Chief of the Environmental Economics Division, supervised the
preparation of the estimates. Kit D. Farber
planned and coordinated the compilation and
analysis of estimates. Preparation of estimates
involved the entire staff: Personal consumption—Frederick G. Kappler; business—Frederick J. Dreiling, Kit D. Farber, Frederick G.
Kappler, Richard R. Speigel, Nikolaos A. Stergioulas, and Howard J. White; and government—Frederick J. Dreiling, Kit D. Farber,
Richard R. Speigel, and Howard J. White.
Brenda G. Davis and Shirley D. Tisdale provided secretarial and statistical assistant services,
respectively.

Recent estimates
Real PAC spending in 1985.— Total
PAC spending in 1985 increased $2.6
billion to $67.3 billion in 1982 dollars
(table 1). PA spending increased $2.7
billion to $64.0 billion; the rest of
PAC—regulation, monitoring, research, and development—declined
$0.1 billion to $3.3 billion.
Business, government, and persons
all contributed to the 1985 increase in
PA spending. Business PA spending
increased $1.3 billion (3.4 percent) to
$40.8 billion. Capital spending increased $0.4 billion to $14.9 billion,
mainly reflecting spending on motor
vehicle emission abatement devices as
unit sales of vehicles increased.
Spending on current account, i.e., to
21

22
operate and maintain capital (and reported net of the value of reclaimed
materials from pollution abatement,
referred to as costs recovered), increased $1.0 billion to $25.9 billion.
About $0.3 billion of the increase was
due to a reduction in the amount of
costs recovered, mainly in manufacturing operations. Spending to operate public sewer systems, classified as
a business activity in the national
economic accounts, also increased substantially. Spending to operate plant
and equipment increased $0.2 billion.
Government PA spending increased
$0.6 billion (5.3 percent) to $11.9 billion. One-half of the increase was by
State and local governments for the
construction of public sewer systems,
classified as a government activity in
the national economic accounts. In
addition, State and local government
spending for solid waste collection
and disposal increased $0.2 billion.
Federal PA spending increased slight-

ly.

Personal consumption spending for
PA, all of which is for the purchase
and operation of motor vehicle emission abatement devices, increased $0.8
billion (7.3 percent) to $11.4 billion in
1985. Purchases of these devices increased $0.6 billion; operating costs
increased $0.2 billion, mainly for the
additional cost of unleaded gasoline
(gallons multiplied by the cost difference between unleaded and leaded
gasoline).
Spending for PAC regulation and
monitoring continued a decline from
1980. A decline in Federal spending
overshadowed a small increase in
State and local government spending.
Spending for PAC research and development declined for the second
consecutive year. Government spending for research and development declined in 1985; business spending increased slightly.
Of the major types of PAC spending, air PAC spending increased $1.0
billion (3.3 percent) to $31.3 billion,
water PAC spending increased $1.2
billion (4.8 percent) to $25.1 billion,
and solid waste collection and disposal spending increased $0.3 billion (3.1
percent) to $11.3 billion (table 2).
Prices in 1985.—Prices of PAC
goods and services increased 3.1 percent in 1985 (table 2). PAC prices had
increased 3.4 percent in 1984. Air
PAC prices increased 2.1 percent in
1985, water PAC prices increased 3.5
percent, and solid waste collection

ment solid waste collection and disposal. Total spending for motor vehicle emission abatement devices and
their operation remained about the
same as in 1985. Business PA capital
spending probably fell slightly, as indicated by plans reported by business
in the 1986 BEA survey of business
PA capital spending.

Patterns in real PAC spending,
1983-85
As noted earlier, total PAC spending increased in each of the last 3
years—the 4.0-percent increase in
1985 followed a 7.8-percent increase in
1984 and a 4.0-percent increase in
1983. In 1983, when economic activity
was reviving, the increase in total
PAC spending was largely traceable
to the complementary relationship between pollution abatement and conventional production. In 1984, the increase was not only due to the continued upswing in economic activity but
also a surge in environmental regulatory activity. Increased concern about
environmental issues, which stimulates environmental regulatory activity and PAC spending, had emerged in
1983 but intensified during the 1984
election year, as evidenced by the passage of the first major environmental
legislation in 4 years—the 1984 Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act Amendments. In 1984, increases
in PAC spending were spread widely
across all major sectors and all types
of PAC. In 1985, increases in PAC
spending continued to be widespread,

and disposal prices increased 4.1 percent. The lower rate of price increase
for air PAC than for the other PAC
categories is mainly the result of declining energy prices (e.g., for unleaded gasoline) in 1985. Energy purchases, about one-third of total air
PAC purchases, are a very small portion of purchases for the other categories.
Real PAC spending in 1986.— The
limited data available as of mid-May
indicate an increase in real PAC
spending in 1986 somewhat less than
that in 1985. The increase was mainly
for construction of public sewer systems and for business and govern-

The 3.3-percent increase in government spending for PAC in 1985 followed a 7.5-percent increase in 1984
and a 3.6-percent decline in 1983.
Spending for construction of public
sewer systems, the largest single component of government PAC spending,
accounted for about one-half of the increase in 1985, about three-fourths of
the increase in 1984, and almost all of
the decline in 1983.
The rates of increase in personal
consumption spending were higher
than those in the total each year. The
7.3-percent increase in spending in
1985 followed increases of 9.0 percent
in 1984 and 17.0 percent in 1983.
Spending for purchases of motor vehicle emission abatement devices, about
two-thirds of total personal spending,
accounted for most of the increase in
personal spending in recent years.

but they moderated along with economic activity and environmental
regulatory activity.
Real spending by sector.—Spending
by business for PAC, which accounts
for almost two-thirds of total PAC
spending, showed a pattern similar to
that of total spending, although in
1985, as in 1984 and 1983, the rate of
increase was slightly lower than that
in the total (table 3). The 3.3-percent
increase in business spending in 1985
followed increases of 7.6 percent in
1984 and 3.7 percent in 1983. Spending to operate industrial plant and
equipment and public sewer systems,
about one-half of total business spending, accounted for much of the increase in business spending in recent
years. Such spending increased 2.1
percent in 1985, 6.6 percent in 1984,
and 6.4 percent in 1983. Spending to
purchase industrial plant and equipment, about one-third of total business spending, was more volatile; it

Preliminary.
1. The Clean Air Act classifies sources of pollutants as either mobile, such as passenger cars, or stationary, such as factories.
2. Excludes spending to reduce emissions from mobile sources other than cars and trucks.
3. Consists of new plant and equipment expenditures for pollution abatement according to results from the plant and
equipment expenditures survey by BEA.
4. Consists of spending for fixed capital of government enterprises such as the Tennessee Valley Authority.
5. Consists of spending to operate government enterprises and all spending by government; separate data on spending to
acquire and operate government pollution abatement facilities are not available.
6. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act defines point sources as facilities that discharge to a body of water through a pipe
or ditch.
7. Consists of spending for private connectors to public sewer systems, capital spending by owners of feedlots, and spending
for fixed capital of government enterprises such as the Tennessee Valley Authority.
8. Consists of spending by Federal, State, and local governments for the collection and disposal of solid waste and of spending
by households for collection and disposal of solid waste by business.
9. Consists of "other and unallocated" spending from table 6.

Real spending by type.—Table 4 organizes estimates of PAC spending according to definitions emphasized in
PAC legislation. For air PA, the
Clean Air Act classifies sources of pollutants as mobile (e.g., cars) or stationary (e.g., factories). For water PA,
the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act classifies sources as point (e.g.,
factories) or nonpoint (e.g., highway
construction projects).
Spending for air PA, which accounts for over two-fifths of total PAC
spending, showed a pattern generally
similar to that of total spending, although the rate of increase was lower
in 1985 and higher in earlier years
than for the total. The 3.3-percent increase in air PA spending in 1985 followed increases of 8.4 percent in 1984
and 5.6 percent in 1983. Spending for
mobile sources, which in recent years
increased to about three-fifths of total
air PA spending, accounted for all of
the increase in 1985 and 1983 and
most of the increase in 1984. Such
spending increased 6.5 percent in
1985, 12.6 percent in 1984, and 15.7
percent in 1983. Spending for stationary sources declined 1.9 percent in
1985, increased 2.3 percent in 1984,
and declined 6.2 percent in 1983. This
pattern is traceable to changes in
spending for purchases of industrial
facilities; spending for operation of industrial facilities increased each year.
The 5.0-percent increase in water
PA spending in 1985 followed increases of 8.0 percent in 1984 and 1.6
percent in 1983, reflecting increases
for point sources, almost all of total
water PA spending. Increases in
spending for operation of facilities accounted for part of the increase in
1985 and 1984 and all of the increase
in 1983. Such spending increased 6.0
percent in 1985, 4.7 percent in 1984,
and 10.5 percent in 1983. Spending for
facilities, dominated by construction
of public sewer systems, increased 4.3
percent in 1985 and 11.9 percent in
1984 after having declined 5.4 percent
in 1983.
The 2.8-percent increase in spending for solid waste disposal followed
increases of 10.5 percent in 1984 and
1.5 percent in 1983. Industrial spending increased slightly in 1985 and
1983, but sharply in 1984, accounting
for the fluctuation in the total. Other
spending, almost all for the collection
and disposal of solid waste by local
governments, increased moderately
each year.

Trends in real PAC spending, 1972-85
PAC spending trended upward over
the 1972-85 period for which data are
available, at an average annual rate
of 3.5 percent (table 5). After a downturn in 1979-82, PAC spending continued up at nearly the same rate as
before. The increases in 1972-79 and,
to a lesser extent, in 1982-85 were
broadly based. The downturn in total
spending in 1979-82 was mainly due
to reduced funding for public sewer
system construction, although several
other categories contributed.
The 5.5-percent increase in air PA
spending in 1972-85—the largest increase by type—was primarily due to
large increases in each subperiod in
spending for purchases of devices to
abate air pollution from mobile
sources. Operation of industrial facilities to abate air pollution from stationary sources increased overall, but
declined in 1979-82. Purchases of
such facilities declined overall, having
increased only moderately in 1972-79.

U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis

The 1.7-percent increase in water
PA spending in 1972-85 was attributable to the overall increase in operation of facilities to abate Water pollution from point sources. Purchases of
facilities declined overall; the moderate recovery in 1982-85 did not offset
the large decline in 1979-82, when
government spending for the construction of public sewer systems declined sharply (14.3 percent).
The 3.5-percent increase in spending for solid waste disposal! in 1972-85
was primarily due to increases in industrial spending, which isj mostly for
operation of facilities. A decline in industrial spending in 1979-82 contributed to the decline in total PAC
spending in that subperiod.
Less than one-tenth of total PAC
has typically been spent on regulation, monitoring, research, and development. Regulation and monitoring
increased 2.9 percent in 1972-85; it
declined only in 1982-85. Research
and development increased slightly in

1972-85; it contributed to the decline
in total PAC spending in 1979-82.
Abstracting from the fluctuations
in the subperiods, the distribution of
PAC spending in 1985 summarizes the
effect of trends in PAC spending
(chart 1). The distribution in 1985 was
very different from that in 1972. As a
share of total PAC spending, spending
for motor vehicle emission abatement
devices rose from 2.9 percent in 1972
to 18.0 percent in 1985, reflecting the
far higher than average rate of
growth for the period. Industrial capital spending as a share fell from 20.8
percent in 1972 to 11.8 percent in
1985, reflecting an overall negative
growth rate. Public sewer construction spending also fell as a share, also
reflecting a negative growth rate. Due
to augmented stocks of facilities of all
types—motor vehicles, industrial capital, and public sewer systems—spending for operation of facilities rose as a
share from 37.6 percent in 1972 to
42.9 percent in 1985.

U.S. Business Enterprises Acquired or Established
by Foreign Direct Investors in 1986
OUTLAYS by foreign direct investors to acquire or establish U.S. business enterprises increased to a record
$31.5 billion (preliminary) in 1986, up
sharply from $23.1 billion in 1985 and
continuing the1 increase that began in
1984 (table I). U.S. tax reform legislation, passed by Congress on September 27, 1986 and signed by the President on October 22, 1986, contributed
to the surge of fourth-quarter investments; investors stepped up outlays to
take advantage of existing tax provisions before yearend. Also, corporate
restructuring in the United States,
continued U.S. real economic growth,
fears of U.S. protectionist measures,
and dollar depreciation contributed to
the 1986 increase in foreign direct investments.
NOTE.—James L. Bomkamp, Chief, Direct Investment in the United States Branch, International Investment Division, supervised the
survey from which these data are drawn.
Joseph F. Cherry III was project leader for editing and processing the forms. D. Richard
Mauery designed the computer programs for
data retrieval and analysis.
1. These data are from a BEA survey of new foreign
direct investment in the United States that covers (1)
existing U.S. business enterprises in which foreign investors acquired, directly or through their U.S. affiliates, at least a 10-percent ownership interest, and (2)
new U.S. business enterprises established by foreign
investors or their U.S. affiliates. Acquisitions of additional equity or voting interest in existing U.S. affiliates are not covered.
The data presented in the article are limited to acquired or established U.S. enterprises that had total
assets of over $1 million or that owned at least 200
acres of U.S. land. Although partial reports, primarily
for identification purposes, were required to be filed
for investments not meeting these criteria, the data
from them are not included in the accompanying
tables. For 1986, 463 partial reports were filed; total
assets of the U.S. business enterprises that filed partial reports were $75.2 million.
In addition to the data on new foreign direct investment presented here, BEA also publishes quarterly
balance of payments flows and the annual direct investment position for both new and existing investments. The position estimates first appear in the June
issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS; more detailed estimates follow in the August issue. Estimates
covering the range of operations of U.S. affiliates of
foreign companies are available from BEA's annual
sample survey of foreign direct investment in the
United States; the latest estimates, covering 1985,
appear in a related article in this issue of the SURVEY.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 was a
key factor in this fourth-quarter
surge. Buyers and sellers accelerated
investment transactions—i.e., shifted
outlays from 1987 into the fourth
quarter of 1986—in order to take advantage of certain tax provisions that
were changed effective January 1,
1987, by the Tax Reform Act. Under
the new law, capital gains income is
taxed at the same rate as ordinary
income rather than at 40 percent of
the ordinary income tax rate as under
the previous law. As a result, sellers
of assets had the incentive of earning
higher after-tax profits by completing
their transactions in 1986. Purchasers
had the incentive to complete transactions before the end of 1986 so that

acquired real assets would be subject
to the more advantageous 1986 depreciation rules. The law also repealed
certain rules applicable specifically to
merger and acquisition activity. The
most widely used of these was the
"General Utilities rule," which permitted the exchange of assets in acquisitions without any tax consequences. The new law repeals that
rule and requires that taxes be paid
on the appreciated value of the assets
exchanged.
Continued favorable economic conditions in the United States also contributed to the increase in 1986 outlays for new foreign investments.
Moderate inflation, low interest rates
relative to several other developed

May 1987

countries, growth in production, and
strong consumer demand all reinforced foreigners' incentive to invest
here.
As in 1984 and 1985, corporate restructuring was a key factor contributing to the increase in outlays for
new foreign investments. The willingness of U.S. companies to sell operations provided many candidates for
acquisition by foreign investors. The
restructuring occurred for several reasons. Takeover threats by foreign as
well as domestic investors led many
companies to restructure in order to
enhance shareholder values and
thwart the potential takeover. The recession of the early 1980's and increased competition from abroad also

contributed to the restructuring by inducing companies to streamline their
operations. The recession helped to
uncover inefficient lines of business
and induced companies to reduce
costs by consolidating operations and
selling unprofitable units. Increased
competition prompted a change in
some companies' production strategy;
many that previously sought to be as
integrated as possible in the manufacturing process—from producing the
raw materials to servicing the end
product—narrowed their focus.
Several other factors may have contributed to the 1986 increase. First,
the trade surpluses of several major
developed countries provided those
foreigners with the funds to invest in
the United States. Second, fears of
U.S. trade protectionism in the face of
these surpluses may have encouraged
foreign companies to produce in,
rather than export to, the United
States. Finally, dollar depreciation
may have had a net positive effect on
1986 foreign investment by inducing
firms to shift operations to the United
States so that their expenses as well
as their sales were denominated in
dollars. Dollar depreciation lowers
both the foreign currency cost of U.S.
assets and the foreign currency value
of income from investments in the
United States. When the dollar first
began to depreciate in 1985, some foreign businesses may have adjusted to
the dollar's fall by lowering profit
margins on exports to the United
States, rather than raising prices,
which could decrease their U.S.
market share. As the dollar fell further, however, these businesses may
have been induced to acquire U.S.
assets and produce within the United
States.
The next section of this article discusses investment transactions by industry and country; the last section
presents selected data on the operations of the U.S. businesses acquired
or established. Information from outside sources, mainly press reports, has
been used to supplement BEA's
survey data.

existing foreign-owned U.S. affiliates
and $6.3 billion were by foreign direct
investors themselves.
As noted earlier, outlays were again
dominated by large investments. The
46 investments of $100 million or
more accounted for 75 percent of total
outlays, but only 8 percent of the
number of investments. A record
number of new investments of $1 billion or more accounted for 34 percent
of total outlays, but only 1 percent of
the number of investments.
Industry
By industry of the U.S. business acquired or established, outlays in manufacturing, at $13.7 billion, were largest (table 4). Within manufacturing,
the largest investment outlays were
in chemicals, at $6.5 billion. Outlays
in chemicals increased substantially
in 1985 and 1986. Following the recession years of the early 1980's, a

number of U.S. chemical companies
have sought to restructure by selling
off unprofitable units or units unrelated to their main lines of business.
The restructuring coincided with the
strategies of several European chemical companies to increase their
market share in the United States,
obtain U.S. technological expertise,
and fill gaps in their global marketing system. Most of the outlays in
chemicals in 1985 and 1986 were accounted for by European investors.
A large share of total outlays in
chemicals was accounted for by the
acquisition of a Connecticut-based
manufacturer of chemical, cosmetic,
and health-care products by the U.S.
affiliate of a large Netherlands manufacturer of consumer products and
packaged goods. The foreign company's goal in the takeover was to gain
a foothold in the U.S. market and increase its world market share in the

Table 4.—Investment Outlays by Industry of U.S. Business Enterprise, 1981-86

As in the past, most outlays in 1986
were for the acquisition of existing
U.S. businesses rather than for the establishment of new ones. Foreign investors spent $25.5 billion to acquire
338 existing U.S. businesses and $6.0
billion to establish 321 new U.S. businesses (table 3). By type of investor,
$25.2 billion of total outlays were by

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

skincare products industry. It plans to
sell a significant part of the acquired
chemical operations.
In another transaction, the U.S. affiliate of a French industrial gas producer acquired a Houston-based industrial gas producer, making the
French-owned company one of the
largest U.S. companies in that industry. The Federal Trade Commission
had required both companies to divest
themselves of several plants and
other assets before it approved the acquisition on grounds that, without the
divestitures, the acquisition could
unduly reduce competition in the production and sale of certain industrial
gas products.
The prescription drug unit of a
large U.S. chemical company was acquired by a British pharmaceutical
concern to boost its direct sales in the
U.S. prescription drug market. The
U.S. company sold this unit and
others in order to concentrate on its
hospital supply business.
Outlays were also large in machinery, at $1.9 billion, and in "other
manufacturing/' at $3.7 billion. The
largest outlay in machinery involved
the acquisition of a manufacturer of
household appliances by the New
York-based subsidiary of a large
Swedish appliance manufacturer. The
acquisition gave the Swedish company
the opportunity to produce and
market a full line of appliances in the
U.S. market.
In "other manufacturing," outlays
mostly reflected two large acquisitions, one in paper products and the
other in scientific instruments. The
paperboard packaging unit of a large
U.S. oil company was acquired by a
holding company jointly owned by a
large Netherlands paper company
and a U.S. limited partnership fund.
The acquisition was made in anticipation of expected growth in the paperboard industry. The U.S. oil company
that sold the unit planned to use the
sale proceeds to reduce the heavy
debt it incurred through an earlier acquisition of another oil company. In
scientific instruments, a U.S. producer of temperature controls and industrial equipment was acquired by a
British company that manufactures
similar products. The acquisition complements and strengthens the foreign
company's operations here and
abroad.
Outlays in retail trade were $5.1
billion, up from $1.2 billion in 1985.
In the single largest investment in

1986, the U.S. affiliate of a Canadian
real estate development concern acquired a department and specialty
store chain. The U.S. company was an
attractive takeover target because of
its extensive network of profitable
retail businesses and real estate holdings. After an initial rejection of its
tender offer by the U.S. company, the
Canadian company purchased shares
of the U.S. company on the open
market in an attempt to obtain majority ownership. Ultimately, the U.S.
company agreed to a merger for a
share price greater than that in the
original tender offer.




May 1987

In real estate, outlays were $4.0 billion, up from $1.9 billion in 1985. Outlays in 1986 were mainly accounted
for by Japanese investors. Details are
given in the next section of this article.
Outlays in "other industries," at
$3.5 billion, were largely in services.
One-third of the outlays in services
were accounted for by British acquisitions of advertising firms. The world's
largest advertising agency, in terms
of annual billings, was formed fay the
acquisition of several large U.S. advertising firms by a London-based advertising firm. The combination re-

tion—including estimates of U.S. affiliate's balance sheets and income statements; external
NOTE.—The annual survey from which the
estimates in this article were derived was conducted under the supervision of James L. Bomkamp, Chief, Direct Investment in the United
States Branch, International Investment Division. Beverly A. Feeser was project leader for
editing and processing the forms. Richard
Mauery and Arnold Gilbert designed the computer programs for data retrieval and analysis.
1. A U.S. affiliate is a U.S. business enterprise in
which a single foreign person owns or controls, directly or indirectly, 10 percent or more of the voting securities if an incorporated business enterprise or an
equivalent interest if an unincorporated business enterprise. Estimates presented in this article cover nonbank U.S. affiliates; data for bank affiliates are published by the Federal Reserve Board in the Federal
Reserve Bulletin.
The estimates in this article are on a fiscal year
basis. An individual affiliate's 1985 fiscal year is its financial reporting year that ended in calendar year
1985.
In terms of employment, data reported by the
sample accounted for 89 percent of the universe estimate for 1985. A table presenting sample coverage for
earlier years by industry of affiliate and country of ultimate beneficial owner appeared in "U.S. Affiliates of
Foreign Companies: Operations in 1984," SURVEY 66
(October 1986):32. In that table, the values for 1983
are typical of the sample coverage of the revised estimates for a given year. The values for 1984, which are
typical of the sample coverage of the preliminary estimates for a given year, are, in most instances, slightly
lower.
2. The UBO is that person, proceeding up a U.S. affiliate's ownership chain, beginning w,ith and including the foreign parent, that is not owned more than 50
percent by another person. The foreign parent is the
first foreign person in the affiliate's ownership chain.
Unlike the foreign parent, the UBO of an affiliate
may be located in the United States.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

May 1987

book value of U.S. affiliates' property,
plant, and equipment was $294 billion, up $24 billion.
• U.S. exports shipped by affiliates
were $56 billion, down $2 billion, and
U.S. imports shipped to affiliates were
$112 billion, up $11 billion.

Employment in 1985
Although the accompanying tables
present other key items on U.S. affiliates' operations, the remainder of this
article focuses on employment. Employment was chosen because changes

37

in it are not directly affected by inflation and, thus, tend to correspond
more closely than the other available
items to changes in real economic activity.
Employment of U.S. affiliates increased 5 percent, to 2,854,000, in

changes was an increase—from
179,000 to 215,000—in the number of
employees added because of new investments (table 2, line 2).4 Substantial numbers of employees were added
as a result of acquisitions of U.S. companies in retail trade, paper and food

from that survey were not used in table 2 because of
differences in methodology, timing, and coverage. Revised results of the 1985 survey of new acquisitions
and establishments appear in "U.S. Businesses Acquired or Established By Foreign Direct Investors in
1986," in this issue.

May 1987

Third, the appreciation of the U.S.
dollar that began in late 1980 and
that continued through 1985 may
have dampened the pace of new investment activity, mainly by raising
the foreign currency cost of acquiring
U.S. businesses. It may also have reduced the U.S. dollar cost of imports,
which would have made production
abroad a relatively more attractive
means of serving U.S. markets.
Fourth, disinvestment by foreign
parents probably increased in 198285, as some of the many acquisitions
made during the 1978-81 period
proved unprofitable. Also, foreigners
tended to restructure companies acquired in 1982-85 by immediately selling off unprofitable operations or unwanted lines of business. Sometimes,
operations were sold to obtain funds
to repay loans used originally to finance the acquisition. Thus, even if
the acquisition was large, the number
of employees ultimately added to the
direct investment universe may have
been relatively small.
By industry
Among major industries, the pattern of growth for affiliates closely
followed that for all U.S. businesses
in 1982-85. Employment of both affiliates and other U.S. businesses grew
slowly or declined in most goods-producing industries—such as manufacturing, mining, and petroleum—and
grew comparatively fast in servicesproducing industries—notably, finance 5 and "services"—and in retail
trade. There were some exceptions to
this pattern, however. In construction, for example, affiliate employment declined substantially but allU.S. business employment increased.
The declines in employment in
goods-producing industries contributed significantly to the slow growth in
total affiliate employment during the
period. In construction, affiliate employment declined 17,000. Most of the
decline was in the employment of affiliates that build structures—such as
refineries, pipelines, and marine terminals—for the oil industry. Construction of this type dropped sharply
with the slowdown in the U.S. oil industry. Employment by several affili5. "Services-producing industries" is broadly definec

May 1987

ates in other nonresidential construction also declined substantially, even
though, for the United States as a
whole, growth in such construction
was strong during the period. Employment by these affiliates may have declined because the affiliates were located in areas of the country that did
not share in the strong growth.
Affiliate employment also declined
substantially in industrial chemicals
and nonelectrical machinery manufacturing (24,000 and 22,000, respectively). The declines coincided with
significant declines for other U.S.
businesses in the same industries.
Weak demand and increased international competition pushed rates of
return in these industries well below
those in other manufacturing industries and caused businesses to sell or
liquidate operations. In some cases,
the decreases in affiliate employment
may also have resulted from foreign
parents selling all of their interests in
their affiliates to U.S. buyers.
Affiliate employment in metals
wholesale trade declined 21,000. The
decline largely reflected the long-term
slump in the U.S. metals industry. A
number of large affiliates classified in
metals wholesale trade, but that also
had significant metals manufacturing
operations, made substantial cuts in
the latter during the period. In addition, a major affiliate with both large
international metals trading and investment banking operations substantially cut its metals trading activities
and sharply expanded its investment
banking operations. As a result, its
classification—and that of all of its
employees—shifted
from
metals
wholesale trade to "finance, except
banking" in 1984.
As noted earlier, in 1982-85, affiliate employment grew relatively fast
in "finance, except banking/' services,
and retail trade. Among these industries, the most employees (136,000)
were added in retail trade. Of this
total, 97,000 were added in "retail
trade other than food stores and
eating and drinking places." This
growth was largely due to acquisitions
of U.S. businesses by foreign investors. The largest such acquisitions
were of jewelry, department, and
book store chains and of a firm that
sells and develops photographic film.
In "services," affiliates added 93,000
employees. This increase, like that in
retail trade, occurred largely as a
result of acquisitions. A few of the acquired companies were sizable, par-




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
ticularly those engaged in building
cleaning and maintenance, nursing
home services, and operating a chain
of beauty salons. Most of the increase
in "services," however, reflected a
large number of smaller acquisitions.
These acquisitions included firms providing personal, health, and business
services.
In "finance, except banking," affiliates added 28,000 employees. Acquisitions of major U.S. investment banking and securities firms accounted for
most of the growth. The shift, from
wholesale trade to finance, in the industry classification of the large affiliate with both metals trading and investment banking operations also
boosted employment.6
By country
The 4-percent average annual employment growth rate in 1982-85 for
affiliates in all areas combined largely reflected the relatively slow
growth—3 percent a year, on average—in the employment of affiliates
with UBO's in Europe. The slow
growth for these affiliates had a large
impact on overall growth because
they accounted for about two-thirds of
total affiliate employment. Employment of affiliates with UBO's in most
other areas grew much faster. Growth
was particularly rapid for affiliates
with UBO's in Latin America (13 percent), "other Africa, Asia, and Pacific" (12 percent), and Japan (11 percent). Employment of affiliates with
Canadian UBO's grew at a 5-percent
rate.
The slow growth for affiliates with
European UBO's reflected declines in
the employment of French- and Netherlands-owned affiliates and slow
growth (2 percent per year) for
German-owned affiliates. Growth
rates for Swiss- and British-owned affiliates were comparatively high—7
and 5 percent, respectively.
This uneven pattern of growth
among affiliates with European
UBO's partly reflected differences in
6. This change in industry classification had a much
greater effect on assets than on employment because,
compared with other affiliates in finance, the assets of
this affiliate were proportionately much larger than
its employment. As a result, affiliates' assets in "finance, except banking" increased more than 80 percent in 1984, much faster than in 1983, even though
growth in employment slowed. Growth in these affiliates' assets was also fast—over 50 percent—in 1985.
The 1985 growth reflected exceptionally strong increases by several of the largest investment banking
and securities affiliates. Sharp jumps in these affiliates' holdings of U.S. Government securities during
1985 accounted for a major portion of the increases.

the distribution of affiliate employment by industry. For example, affiliates with Netherlands UBO's were
relatively heavily concentrated in petroleum and paper manufacturing;
those with German UBO's, in industrial chemicals; and those with
French UBO's, in paper manufacturing—all U.S. industries that had comparatively weak economic performance during this period. Affiliates of
UBO's in Switzerland and the United
Kingdom, however, were more concentrated in the faster growing U.S.
industries—affiliates
with
Swiss
UBO's, in food manufacturing and
"services," and affiliates with British
UBO's, in retail trade, food manufacturing, and "services."
The uneven pattern of growth also
partly reflected differences among European countries in the pace of their
new direct investment in the United
States in 1982-85. Spending by British
and Swiss investors to acquire or establish new U.S. affiliates was significantly higher than that by investors
in other European countries.7 The
particularly strong spending by British investors may have occurred
mainly because more rapid economic
growth in Britain than in other major
European countries left British companies with more funds available for
foreign investment. In addition, Britain relaxed controls on foreign exchange transactions in 1979, which
made it easier for British companies
to invest abroad.
The high growth rates for the employment of affiliates with UBO's in
Latin America and "other Africa,
Asia, and Pacific" partly reflect the
relatively small base from which the
rates were calculated; in 1981, employment of these affiliates was only
75,000 and 17,000, respectively. The
growth for affiliates with UBO's in
Latin America was largely attributable to those with UBO's in Panama
and Bermuda; in "other Africa, Asia,
and Pacific," it was largely attributable to affiliates with UBO's in Hong
Kong.
The rapid growth in employment of
affiliates with Japanese UBO's reflects two main factors: (1) Strong
growth in Japanese exports to the
United States, which, in turn, induced
increases in the employment of U.S.
affiliates engaged in the wholesale
distribution of these products within

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

41

In the Rocky Mountains, although
affiliate employment declined in four
of the five States in the region, most
of the decline resulted from a cutback
in an affiliate's large copper mining
operation in Utah.
In the Great Lakes, affiliate employment grew faster, but all-U.S.
business employment grew slower,
than in any other region. The rapid
growth for affiliates was largely concentrated in Ohio and Illinois. In both
States, many existing affiliates cut
their employment because of comparatively weak economic conditions,

but these cuts were more than offset
by increases in employment due to
new acquisitions or establishments.
By State, growth rates ranged from
15 percent in the District of Columbia
to a negative 11 percent in Utah.
Among the States with the largest affiliate employment, that is, those with
more than 50,000 employees in 1981,
growth rates ranged from 8 percent in
Ohio and Georgia to less than 1 percent in Wisconsin. In terms of numbers of employees added, the largest
increases were in California (51,000)
and Ohio (38,000).

May 1987

By U.S. region and State
Among U.S. regions, affiliate employment declined in the Rocky
Mountains and grew relatively slowly
in both the Mideast and the Plains
(table 3). The most rapid growth was
in the Great Lakes; growth was also
relatively strong in the Southeast and
the Far West. Growth in New England and the Southwest was at about
the same rate as the average for all
affiliates. Except for the Rocky Mountains and the Great Lakes, this pattern parallels that of all U.S. businesses.

t Effective Feb. 1987 SURVEY, the money stock measures and components have been
revised and are available from the Banking Section of the Division of Research and Statistics at the Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D.C. 20551.
t Composition of the money stock measures is as follows:
Ml.—This measure is currency plus demand deposits at commercial banks and interestearning checkable deposits at all depository institutions—namely NOW accounts, automatic transfer from savings (ATS) accounts, and credit union share draft balances—as well
as a small amount of demand deposits at thrift institutions that cannot, using present data
sources, be separated from interest-earning checkable deposits.




May 1987

M2.—This measure adds to Ml overnight repurchase agreements (RP's) issued by commercial banks and certain overnight Eurodollars (those issued by Caribbean branches of
member banks) held by U.S. nonbank residents, money market mutual fund shares, and
savings and small-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of less than
$100,000) at all depository institutions. Depository institutions are commercial banks (including U.S. agencies and branches of foreign banks, Edge Act corporations, and foreign investment
companies), mutual savings banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions.
M3.—This measure equals M2 plus large-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of $100,000 or more) at all depository 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 depository institutions, credit union share
draft balances, and demand deposits at thrift institutions.
O 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.

NASD Stock Price Indexes and Sales Value and Volume
SOURCE: National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
The National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (NASDAQ) System included securities
of 4,417 over-the-counter companies with a total market
value of $362.2 billion at the end of 1986. The NASDAQ
National Market System (NASDAQ/NMS), which covers
NASDAQ securities that meet certain market and financial criteria (such as shares outstanding and asset size),
includes nearly all of the more than 2,600 larger NASDAQ
companies.
NASDAQ price indexes include all NASDAQ/NMS equities (except warrants) and other NASDAQ domestic
common stocks not designated on NMS. They are marketvalue weighted and are not adjusted for cash dividends.
The monthly indexes are averages of daily closing values.
For NASDAQ/NMS equities, all indexes use the last sale;
for non-NMS equities, the indexes use the highest bid.




May 1987

NASDAQ indexes were set equal to 100 on February 5,
1971, and NASDAQ/NMS indexes were set equal to 100
on July 10, 1984.
For NASDAQ/NMS issues, total daily volume of shares
sold for each issue is the sum of the volume of the reported
transactions. This same concept is used by the principal
exchanges. For non-NMS issues, the volume of shares sold
is calculated by summing the higher of the buy or sell number of shares for each issue as entered by each NASDAQ
market maker. This is equivalent to the net change in the
market maker's inventory plus the number of shares that
the marketmaker has both bought and sold. The market
value is the monthly total of daily dollar volume for all
trading days in the month. The daily dollar volume is the
sum of, each issue's daily share volume multiplied by the
last sale price for NASDAQ/NMS issues and the closing
high bid for non-NMS issues.
