the BUSINESS SITUATION
DEVISED (45-day) estimates show
that real GNP increased 7% percent
at an annual rate in the third quarter
of 1983, compared with the 8-percent
increase shown by the preliminary
(15-day) estimates. Revisions in the
major components of GNP were small
(table 1). Downward revisions were in
personal consumption expenditures

(mainly in food purchases), change in
business inventories (wholesale trade),
residential investment (partly due to
an upward revision in prices), and
government purchases (Federal defense purchases). Upward revisions
were in net exports (nonagricultural
exports were revised up and nonpetroleum imports were revised down) and

NOTE.—For the third quarter of ] 13, the following revised or additional major source data became available: For personal
consumption expenditures, revised retail sales for August and September; for nonresidential fixed investment, manufacturers'
shipments of equipment for August (revised) and September, construction put in place for August (revised) and September, and a
partial tabulation of business expenditures for plant and equipment for the quarter; for residential investment, construction put in
place for August (revised) and September; for change in business inventories, book values for manufacturing and trade for August
(revised) and September; for net exports of goods and services, merchandise trade for August (revised) and September; for
government purchases of goods and services, Federal unified budget outlays for September, and State and local construction put in
place for August (revised) and September; for wages and salaries, revised employment, average hourly earnings, and average
weekly hours for August and September; for corporate profits, domestic book profits for the quarter; for GNP prices, the Consumer
Price Index and the Producer Price Index for September, unit value indexes and export and import price indexes for September,
and residential housing prices for the quarter.




nonresidential fixed investment (producers' durable equipment). The increase in prices as measured by the
GNP fixed-weighted price index was
revised up from 4 to 4V2 percent.
The revisions in the third-quarter
GNP do not alter the picture of economic activity described in the October "Business Situation." About onethird of the strong increase in GNP
was accounted for by a swing in business inventories to accumulation after
six consecutive quarters of liquidation. Among the components of final
sales, personal consumption expenditures and residential investment continued to increase, but at slower rates
than in the second quarter. Nonresidential fixed investment was up more
than in the second quarter; structures
turned around, and producers' durable equipment registered another sizable increase. Government purchases,
due to turnarounds in Federal and in
State and local purchases, increased
after a small decline. The slide in net
exports slowed markedly in the third
quarter; exports increased following a
decline, and imports were up about
the same as in the second quarter.
Corporate profits
Corporate profits from current production—profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments—increased $28 billion to $246
billion in the third quarter.1 In the
second quarter, they had increased a
record $36 Va billion to $218 billion
(table 2).

Other profits
measures.—Profits
before tax increased $28 billion to
$246 billion in the third quarter, following an increase of $36 Vk billion.
The third-quarter level remains below
the peak of $261 billion recorded in
the first quarter of 1980. These profits
exclude the inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) and the capital consumption adjustment (CCAdj). The
IVA became more negative in the
third quarter, decreasing $8 billion to
— $18V2 billion, following a slightly
larger decrease. The decreases resulted from increased rates of inflation of
prices of goods held in inventories;
the largest decreases occurred in the
trade industry and in the food, chemicals, machinery, and transportation
equipment manufacturing industries.
The CCAdj increased $12 billion to
$37 ¥2 billion, following an increase of
$111/2 billion.2 The increases reflected
in part the effects of provisions of the
Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981
(ERTA) permitting the use of shorter
service lives for measuring the depreciation on new capital (as reported to
the Internal Revenue Service). (For
further discussion, see the "Business
Situation" in the September 1983
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.)
Disposition of profits.—Corporate
profits taxes increased $9 billion to
$85 billion in the third quarter, following an increase of $14 Vk billion.
Provisions of the Tax Equity and
Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 have
progressively raised profits tax liability, and partly offset the effects of
ERTA.
Dividends continued their 8-year
uptrend in the third quarter, increasing $iy2 billion to $73% billion, following an increase of $x/2 billion. Undistributed profits increased $13 billion to $68 billion, following an increase of $181/2 billion.

2. The capital consumption adjustment converts depreciation of fixed capital used up in production to a
consistent basis with respect to service lives (85 percent of Internal Revenue Service Bulletin F for equipment and nonresidential structures) and depreciation
formulas (straight line). It also converts depreciation
to replacement cost, the valuation concept underlying
national income and product accounting, from historical cost, the concept generally underlying business accounting.

Special Note.—Profits of Financial Corporations
AS NOTED in the "Business Situation/' on a quarterly basis, profits of
financial corporations have recovered
strongly since the low in the first
quarter of 1982. From 1978 to 1982,
these profits had declined sharply—
$11 Vk billion, or about one-third—and
contributed far more than proportionately to the decline in total domestic
corporate profits (chart 1). In earlier
years, profits of financial corporations
had trended rather steadily upward,
with only mild declines in recessions.
The recent volatility of these profits
largely reflects the effects of the
course of interest rates on this diverse
group of corporations—some of which
were favorably affected, and some adversely affected. Further, the appearance of volatility was heightened by
the impact on these profits of the national income and product accounting
treatment of private noninsured pension funds. In order to shed light on
movements in these profits, this Special Note highlights the diverse
nature of financial corporations and
aspects of national income and product accounting that underlie the
measures of their profits.
Coverage, concepts, and methodology
In the presentation of corporate
profits by industry in table 6.20 of the
National Income and Product Accounts Tables, the "financial" line is

shown as a component of "domestic." l Thus, what will be referred to
in this Special Note as financial profits are the profits from the U.S. operations of corporations primarily engaged in financial activities. The profits of these corporations averaged
about 14 percent of total domestic
profits over the last three decades.
As is suggested by the coverage of
the six categories of financial profits
detailed for this Special Note in table
1, financial corporations are diverse.
Some are closely held corporations;
others are sponsored by the Federal
Government. Some, like commercial
banks, engage in a broad range of financially oriented activities; others,
like real estate investment trusts, are
narrowly focused. Yet others, like
Federal home loan banks, serve only
other financial institutions.
For the national income and product accounts (NIPA's), the coverage of
the term "corporation" is not congruent with that of corporations as defined by State and Federal laws.
1. The coverage of "financial" differs from that of
the finance, insurance, and real estate division of the
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). In terms of
the breakdowns used in tables (such as 6.21B) that are
based on the SIC, "financial" includes banking, credit
agencies other than banks, security and commodity
brokers and services, and insurance carriers; excludes
insurance agents, brokers, and services, and real
estate; and includes part of investment and other
holding companies.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
First, the NIPA term covers all business entities required to file Federal
corporate income tax returns; these
include, in addition to corporations
defined by law, many other types of
business entities, such as most mutual
financial institutions. Second, the
term covers several types of entities
that are not required to file corporate
tax returns: credit unions, private
noninsured pension funds, Federal
Reserve banks, federally sponsored
credit agencies that are tax exempt,
and nonprofit organizations that primarily serve business. The coverage
of corporations for the NIPA's stems
partly from the tie, discussed below,
to tax-return tabulations as the primary data source for profits. It also
reflects the usefulness of treating entities, such as mutual financial institutions, that behave like corporations
as corporations. Finally, it reflects the
need to classify with corporations certain entities, such as Federal Reserve
banks, that fit better with corporations than either with another form
of business or with the nonbusiness
sector.
Of the entities classified as corporations in the NIPA's but not required
to file corporate tax returns, all
except nonprofit organizations that
primarily serve business are financial
corporations. Thus, in defining profits
for financial corporations, the generalization that NIPA profits are conceptually similar to profits as defined
in the Federal tax regulations—that
is, as total receipts less total deductions—must be extended. The definition of a measure of profits for private noninsured pension funds can be
taken as an example. These funds—
for which banks and other financial
institutions except life insurance carriers are trustees—receive income, including dividends, on their investments. Reflecting the nature of these
funds, in the NIPA's their income is
attributed to persons as savings. In
addition, their dividends are subject
to the accounting requirement that
the NIPA's show an unduplicated
measure of dividends. This general requirement is implemented by netting
dividends received by corporations
against dividends paid by them. For
pension funds, which do not pay any
dividends, the resulting measure of
net dividends paid is negative. Thus,




the measure of profits defined for
these funds consists only of net dividends paid, and it is negative.
Although NIPA profits are similar
to profits as reported on tax returns,
there are several conceptual differences. Three of these differences are
particularly significant to the measurement of profits of financial corporations. First, NIPA profits exclude
capital gains and losses. Thus, the
substantial amounts of capital gains
and losses earned on the portfolios of
financial corporations (which are reported as part of profits on tax returns) are excluded from NIPA profits.2 This exclusion is particularly significant to the measurement of profits
of regulated investment companies,
which include mutual funds. Second,
NIPA profits are net of dividends received from domestic corporations.
This netting is particularly significant
to the measurement of profits of life
and nonlife (property and casualty)
insurance carriers and regulated investment companies, as well as underlying the measurement of profits of
private noninsured pension funds; all
of these typically hold a large share
of their assets in corporate stocks and
thus receive substantial amounts of
dividends. Third, NIPA profits include
the excess of additions to bad debt reserves over losses actually incurred.
This feature of NIPA profits is particularly significant to the measurement of profits of commercial banks
and of savings and loan associations.3
Two further adjustments are usually required to derive NIPA profits—
that is, profits from current production. Of the two adjustments, made to
place NIPA profits on a basis that

adjustment is small, however, and is
not available separately for the various categories of financial profits.
In general, estimates of profits are
based, in industry detail, on tabulations of corporate income tax returns
published by the Internal Revenue
Service in its Statistics of Income and,
for the 2 most recent years before
those tabulations become available,
extrapolations
using other data
sources. Among the financial corporations, this methodology is used for
commercial banks, thrift institutions
except credit unions, some credit
agencies, life and nonlife insurance
carriers, and investment-oriented institutions. In most cases, the extrapolators are prepared using income and
related data from regulatory agencies
(such as the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board for savings and loan associations, and the Securities and Exchange Commission for security and
commodity brokers), publicly available financial statements for commercial banks and nonlife insurance, and
trade associations (such as the National Association of Mutual Savings
Banks and the American Council of
Life Insurance). For investment-oriented institutions except security and
commodity brokers, the extrapolators
are based on trends judgmentally adjusted for changes in business conditions. For the financial corporations
that do not file corporate income tax
returns, estimates are based on the
following: for credit unions, income
and related data from the National
Credit Union Administration; for Federal Reserve banks and the taxexempt federally sponsored credit
agencies, income and related data
from the agencies or their parent organizations; and for private noninsured pension funds, holdings of corporate stock from the Federal Reserve's flow-of-funds accounts combined with average stock yields.
Financial profits, 1973-82
After declining moderately in 1974
and 1975, financial profits (without
capital consumption adjustment) increased sharply through 1978 to $31
billion, declined sharply through 1981,
and increased slightly to $21 billion in
1982 (chart 2). The overall pattern
masks very different patterns for the
major categories of financial profits.

dends received during the period, and
as a result their losses increased. The
increase in dividends received largely
reflected the rapid growth—near doubling from 1978 to 1982—in their
portfolios of corporate stocks.
Commercial banks' profits declined
slightly in 1974 and 1975, increased to
a peak of $8 billion in 1979, and then
declined to $5y2 billion in 1982. Interest paid reflected conditions similar to
those affecting savings and loan associations: generally rising interest
rates and increased competitiveness—
both among banks and with thrift institutions and money market funds.
As a result, interest paid increased
about as much as interest received.
Problem loans, in part the result of
continuing adverse economic conditions, became a major, and more or
less pervasive, depressant to profits.
The other categories of financial
profits—those of the credit agencies
and
investment-oriented
institutions—have fluctuated from year to
year, but have remained at low levels.
Among the credit agencies, profits of

gradual uptrend. These profits are derived mainly from interest on portfolio holdings held to carry out their
several missions, which are largely related to mortgage and agricultural
credit. Profits of personal and business credit agencies showed substan-

tial volatility, ending the period with
several years of losses. Among the investment-oriented institutions, fluctuations in the profits of security and
commodity brokers have been responsible for much of the year-to-year
variability. These profits are primar-

ily from sales of securities and their
underwriting operations. Regulated
investment companies, real estate investment trusts, and small business
investment
companies
registered
losses through 1979, then returned to
profitability.

Government sector
The fiscal position of the government sector in the national income
and product accounts (NIPA's) deteriorated in the third quarter, as the
combined deficit of the Federal Government and of State and local governments increased $19 billion. The
deterioration was more than accounted for by an increase in the Federal
Government deficit; the fiscal position
of State and local governments continued to improve. The combined deficit, at $133 billion, was slightly higher
than the $127 billion deficit of a year
earlier. Over the past year, the Federal Government deficit increased $30
billion, but the State and local government surplus increased $24 billion.
The Federal sector.—The Federal
Government deficit, which had declined $42 billion over the first half of
the year, increased $22% billion in
the third quarter to $188 V* billion, as
receipts declined and expenditures increased.
Receipts declined $7 billion, compared with a $29% billion increase in
the second quarter. The third-quarter
decline was more than accounted for
by a $17 % billion decline in personal
tax and nontax receipts, reflecting the
final reduction in income tax withholding rates under the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981. This reduction, which amounted to $29 billion,
became effective July 1. Indirect business tax and nontax accruals also declined, reflecting a further decline in
windfall profit taxes. Corporate profits tax accruals increased $7 billion
and contributions for social insurance
increased $3% billion, as corporate
profits and wages and salaries continued to record strong gains.
Expenditures increased $15% billion, compared with $12 billion in the
second quarter. All major categories
of expenditures increased more than

in the previous quarter, except transfer payments, which declined. Net interest paid recorded the largest increase—$9 billion; the increase was
mainly the result of higher interest
rates. Purchases of goods and services
increased $5 billion. Within the total,
nondefense was up $2% billion; agricultural purchases by the Commodity
Credit Corporation (CCC) increased
$1% billion, crude oil purchases for
the strategic petroleum reserve increased $1 billion, and all other purchases were unchanged. The increase
in CCC purchases was the net of a $4
billion increase in regular CCC purchases and a $2% billion decline as a
result of the payment-in-kind (PIK)
program. The PIK program provides
certain crops—mainly corn, cotton,
and wheat—to farmers who agreed to
divert acreage from production. The
crops are given to farmers from CCC
stocks and, therefore, the transactions
have no effect on total expenditures.
In the NIPA's, the PIK transactions
are treated as negative CCC purchases and as subsidy payments to
farmers.
Subsidies less the current surplus of
government enterprises also increased
$5 billion. The increase was accounted
for by the CCC deficit ($3 billion), the
Postal Service deficit ($1 billion), and
subsidy payments to farmers ($1 billion). The increase in the Postal Service deficit reflected a third annual
bonus payment of $350 per employee
and a pay raise. The increase in subsidy payments to farmers was the net
of a $2% billion increase under the
PIK program and a $1% billion decline in regular payments. Grants-inaid to State and local governments increased $% billion; a $1 billion increase in highway grants was partly
offset by a $% billion decline in food
and nutrition grants. The increase in
highway grants reflected the initial

spending of funds from the gasoline
excise tax increase in April under the
Highway Revenue Act of 1982.
Transfer payments to persons declined $3% billion, compared with $6
billion increase in the second quarter.
A $7 billion decline in unemployment
benefits was partly offset by increases
in social security benefits ($2% billion) and in supplemental security
income (SSI) benefits ($1 billion). All
types of unemployment benefits declined; regular and extended benefits,
$2% billion each, and supplementary
benefits, $2 billion. The increase in
SSI benefits included $% billion for a
legislated benefit increase effective
July 1.
For fiscal year 1983, the Federal
Government deficit (on the NIPA
basis) amounted to $186 % billion, or
$9 billion below the deficit based on
the midsession review of the unified
budget (see the August SURVEY for details of the midsession review). Receipts were $1% billion higher and
expenditures were $7% billion lower
than previously estimated.
On a high-employment budget
basis, the Federal fiscal position
moved from a deficit of $36 billion in
the second quarter to a deficit of $74
billion in the third (see table 1 on
page 7). The high-employment deficit
as a percentage of potential GNP increased from 1.0 percent in the second
quarter to 2.0 percent in the third—a
move toward a more expansionary
fiscal position. As percentages of potential GNP, high-employment expenditures increased slightly, but
high-employment receipts decreased
sharply, from the second quarter to
the third.
The State and local sector.—The
State and local government surplus
increased $3% billion, to $55% billion, as receipts continued to increase




November 1983

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

November 1983

more than expenditures. The increase
in the surplus was largely accounted
for by a $2Vfc billion increase in the
"other" surplus, that is, in the surplus excluding social insurance funds.
Receipts increased $14 billion, compared with $17 billion in the second
quarter. Indirect business tax and
nontax accruals increased $5V2 billion; sales taxes accounted for $3 billion of the increase and property
taxes for $2 billion. Personal tax and

nontax receipts increased $5 billion,
including $2 billion for tax increases,
primarily in Illinois, Pennsylvania,
and Wisconsin. Corporate profits tax
accruals increased $21/2 billion.
Expenditures increased $10 Vk billion, compared with $5V2 billion in
the second quarter. Purchases of
goods and services more than accounted for the increase; all other expenditures, on balance, declined slightly.
Within purchases, compensation in-

creased $4 Via billion, construction,
$3 ¥2 billion, and all other purchases,
$3 billion. The increase in construction was the first since late 1982 and
the largest since a $4x/2 billion increase in the second quarter of 1978.
Although highways accounted for the
bulk of the increase, all major types
of construction recorded gains. The $3
billion increase in highway construction reflected, in part, the increase in
highway grants mentioned earlier.

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

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

Implicit Price Deflators for Military Construction
DEVELOPMENT of reliable price
indexes for construction is a longstanding problem. This article describes recent work in this area that
was part of a major project to develop
price indexes for national defense
purchases. This project, started in the
mid-1970's by BEA in cooperation
with the Department of Defense
(DOD), developed price indexes at a
detailed level using data provided by
DOD.1
In 1980, BEA began showing detail
for national defense purchases for the
period beginning in 1972. (See, for example in the July 1983 SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS, tables 3.9 (current
dollars), 3.10 (constant dollars), and
7.15 (implicit price deflators).) Purchases of structures are shown with a
two-way breakdown: military facilities
and other.2 The military facilities
component, the subject of this article
and hereafter referred to as "military
construction/' consists of the facilities
built to assist, enhance, or house the
activities that are required by the
military services to accomplish their
mission. These facilities, which account for about 11/2 percent of national defense purchases, are heterogeneous. They range from office buildings and laboratories, which have private-sector counterparts, to specialized training facilities and ammunition storage igloos, which are unique
to the military services. Also, they
range in complexity from missile production and maintenance facilities to
common lumber storage sheds.
National defense purchases of
structures, like other structures com1. A description of the work appears in Price
Changes of Defense Purchases of the United States,
U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic
Analysis (Washington, B.C.: U.S. GPO, 1979).
2. The "other" component of national defense purchases of structures includes family housing, nuclear
fuel production facilities, and net purchases of used
structures.

14




ponents in the national income and
product accounts (NIPA's), consist of
new construction, on a put-in-place
basis, and net purchases of existing
structures. In recent years, net purchases of existing structures have accounted for a negligible part of the
total. Construction done by DOD employees (force account construction)
and DOD purchases of construction
materials are not included in purchases of structures; they appear in
other national defense components.
Because most military construction is
done under long-term, firm fixed-price
contracts, the put-in-place value will
reflect the expected prices of construction material and labor at the
time the contract was negotiated and
not necessarily the current market
prices.
Table 1 shows dollar amounts for
selected components of military construction in 1972-82. In most years,
troop housing accounts for the largest
or second largest amount. With more
variation from year to year, training
facilities, hospitals and infirmaries,
administration buildings, and production facilities account for substantial
amounts. The variations in composition reflect—although with a lag because they are on a put-in-place
basis—the changes in requirements as
evidenced in the annual military construction appropriation. Particularly
noticeable are the considerable
changes in construction of troop housing, ammunition facilities, and missile
system facilities.
Construction prices
Price indexes for the various types
of construction not only contribute to
the measurement of overall price
changes in the economy, but also are
needed to prepare constant-dollar estimates of construction and estimates

of the value of the stock of structures.
The derivation of appropriate price
indexes for construction is difficult. A
summary of the difficulties appeared
in the August 1974 issue of the
SURVEY, following a comprehensive
examination by BEA and the Bureau
of the Census of construction price information.
"The preparation of good prices indexes for the various types of construction is extremely difficult. The
essence of price measurement is that
a time series of price observations be
obtained for products of the same
specifications. This is easily done for
homogeneous products (coal, sugar,
wheat), but the output of construction
is one of the most heterogeneous that
must be faced in price measurement.
Houses are rarely built with the same
specifications for more than a year or
two; factories, office buildings, and
shopping centers are almost never
built twice with the same specifications. Hence, the proper measurement
of price change in construction is at
the 'frontier' and requires special
techniques not normally used in preparing price indexes/'3
Difficulties in the development of
price indexes for military construction are exacerbated by the particularly rapid—even abrupt—changes in
its composition by type of structure
and by the lack of similarity between
many military structures and structures built in the private sector.
The 1974 SURVEY article listed six
criteria that were developed as part of
the comprehensive review to serve as
guides in selecting appropriate price
indexes. These criteria were used in
the development of the military construction price indexes discussed
later.

• "The indexes should represent, as
nearly as possible, actual prices
paid for the actual products of
construction that they are being
used to deflate.
• The indexes should be based on
data from scientific samples.
• Government agencies should compile the indexes and have the details of the procedures available
for review. Where no appropriate
Government-compiled
index
exists, details of the privately
compiled index should be readily
available.
• The indexes should be available
with reasonably good frequency
and timing.
• The indexes should represent national price trends.
• The indexes should measure construction with fixed specifications. If the specifications change,
the indexes should be adjusted to
eliminate the effect of the
change."
Index development
The development of the price indexes for military construction was done
in three phases: review of existing
price indexes, with the conclusion
that none were suitable; testing of alternative types of new price indexes,
with the conclusion that an output
price index was the only type for
which the data available were usable;
and preparation of the output price
index.
Review of existing price indexes.—
Some of the available construction
price indexes—for example, the Engi-




neering News Record (ENR) Building
Cost Index—are weighted input price
indexes. The ENR index measures
price change for certain inputs to construction, such as materials (lumber,
concrete and steel) and labor (wage
rates for carpenters, bricklayers and
ironworkers) rather than prices of
outputs. As is typical of input price
indexes, it does not allow for changes
in the productivity of labor, changes
in the composition of materials used,
or other technological change. Further, it does not include costs other
than materials and labor—for example, shipping costs, overhead, or
profit. If price changes for these costs
do not move the same way as the
measured prices, input price indexes
may not accurately reflect the output
price of construction. There is no
reason to assume that these prices
will move the same way and, therefore, this type of index was rejected.
Other types of available construction price indexes, while appropriate
for the deflation of private or other
government purchases of new construction, were found to be inappropriate for deflation of military construction. Some of these indexes, such
as the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission Pipeline Cost Index, were
for a type of construction not purchased by the military. In other cases,
the indexes reviewed might be considered satisfactory for certain categories
of military construction, but these indexes were rejected when an alternative was found that applied specifically to military construction. Following
is a brief description of a few of the

most popular construction price indexes and the reason for rejecting
them.
1. The Boeckh Index for commercial
and factory buildings is a fixedweighted index of actual material and
labor prices paid by contractors in 20
cities in the United States. It includes
overhead costs, sales taxes, insurance
costs, social security costs, and profits.
It may have applicability to the small
number of these types of buildings
built by the military, and could have
been used if an alternative were not
available.
2. The Turner Index is based on the
construction of a hypothetical 40-story
structural steel office building with
fixed specifications. It is a modified
fixed-weighted index using prices for
materials, labor rates, construction
loan interest, overhead, and profit. It
takes into account changes in productivity and materials. This index was
rejected because the techniques used
for constructing structures of this
height are not applicable to any
known military construction projects.
3. The Federal Highway Administration Composite Index is a national
construction cost index that measures
cost changes for furnishing and installing fixed quantities of excavation,
concrete and bituminous paving,
structural concrete, reinforcing steel,
and structural steel for a composite
mile of highway construction. Like
the Boeckh Index, it may have applicability to a small part of military
construction and could have been
used if an alternative were not available.

Testing of alternative types of new
price indexes.—Development of new
price indexes seemed to be the only
option open. Three types of indexes
were examined: an input price index,
a hedonic price index, and an output
price index. For reasons explained
below, the data available did not support the preparation of either a comprehensive input price index or a hedonic price index. In contrast, the
data required to support the preparation of an output price index did seem
to be available.
A comprehensive input price index
is one that—unlike the ENR index
but like the Turner Index—would include all inputs to construction, including overhead and profit. The approach that was explored would have
drawn upon the documents that contractors are required to submit to
DOD for approval. The documents list
the quantity and type of materials,
unit price, labor hours, wage rates,
and other costs. Construction components include items such as painting,
drywall finishing, flooring, and roofing. However, review of a substantial
number of these documents indicated
that the prices listed may not have
been those that were actually paid by
the contractor, that labor hours were
estimated, and, most importantly, not
all of the contractors submitted these
documents after the contract was
awarded.
A hedonic price index is one that
calculates the price of a typical good
by a multiple regression technique.
Regression equations are applied to
the price-determining characteristics
of a good and its total price. Thus,
given the implicit price paid by the
purchaser for each of the characteristics, a current price for a fixed set of
characteristics can be estimated. Such
an index requires comparison of a
large number of observations of similar items in one period with a large
number of similar items in the base
period. Because of the sharp changes
in the composition of military construction projects, a sufficient number
of observations for any specific type of
structure was not available over the
necessary period of time.
Preparation of the output price
index.—Based on type of use and
other characteristics, DOD maintains
a very detailed list of categories for
the construction it purchases, and

each construction project is assigned a
category code from this list. Further,
for each of these categories, DOD
maintains performance specifications.
Such specifications relate, for example, for troop housing, to the number
of occupants per bathroom and the
permissible levels of noise transmission, rather than to whether walls are
constructed of lath and plaster or of
gypsum board. As a result, the builder of each project is able to bid and
use the least costly alternatives for
materials, installation, and construction that meet the performance specifications for the finished project.
Some variation among individual
projects in the same construction category may be allowed. In troop housing, for example, there can be differences in the placement of the bathrooms, in the type of roofing, or in
type of curtain walls. The variation
must not, however, affect compliance
with the performance specifications
for that category.
Accordingly, it was possible to use
the construction category data, because, with some adjustments to be
described, they met the requirement
for specification pricing: that the unit
being priced have fixed characteristics. The price per physical unit (for
example, the price per square foot of
troop housing or per cubic yard of
runway) was used as the appropriate
price. The resulting price index then
reflects changes in productivity, capital or labor substitution, profit margins, overhead costs, and regional
labor rates.
Among the approximately 850 construction category codes used by DOD,
some had not been used and others
had very few entries. Of the total, 181
category codes, which encompass approximately 90 percent of the annual
purchases of construction, were selected for use in price specification.
The data required to calculate the
price index are available from the
construction contract and are supplied to BEA on DOD's DD813 reports. An initial report is required by
DOD from its contracting offices
within 40 days after the award of the
contract for the project and a final
report is required within 60 days after
acceptance of the facility by DOD.4




4. Current-period NIP A estimates of military construction utilize the initial reports and subsequent
July revisions utilize the final reports.

November 1983

The DD813 lists the title of the
project; the category code; where the
facility is built; the date of contract
award; the construction period in
days or the completion date; the size
of the facility in square feet, barrels,
or cubic yards; and dollar cost, separately for the facility, planning (architect/engineer costs), support facilities,
and contingencies.
For most categories, there are a
large number of observations available each year. However, because of
the changes in composition in the military construction programs, the
number of yearly observations for a
particular category is not consistent.
In some cases, gaps occur when no
construction in a category occurs for a
period of several years. In other cases,
the construction program was expanded rapidly, and a large number of
projects in specific categories were
built. Two examples of the latter resulted from the introduction of the
all-volunteer Army and the introduction of new missiles into the inventory. The all-volunteer Army was accompanied by new types of housing—
more private rooms instead of open
barracks. The introduction of new
missiles required a large increase in
missile assembly, maintenance, and
storage facilities.
Performance specifications for a
given category may, of course, change
over time. For example, for troop
housing, the specification might
change from communal baths on each
floor to private baths for each room.
Under DOD procedures, a significant
change in specification must be approved at the headquarters level in
Washington, D.C. and concurrence obtained from the appropriate Assistant
Secretary of Defense. For any specification change that this procedure signals, an estimate of the cost impact of
the change is made by DOD, and that
is used by BEA to adjust the unit
price.
For
major
specification
changes, a new category code is assigned by DOD and the series is
linked by BEA into the data base. For
example, the policy of training Army
Reserve units as an integral part of
the Regular Army resulted in the
need for a different type of troop
housing. These "summer barracks"
have much more austere specifications—for example, no heating or air
conditioning—than regular barracks.

November 1983

The new category for "summer barracks" was linked into the troop housing facility class by BEA.
The unit price used to calculate the
index for each construction category
is the dollars per square foot (or other
unit measure) for a given project.
Planning, support facilities, and contingencies are not included in the
unit price. Computer programs were
developed for data entry and correction, allocation of the total cost
throughout the construction period,
calculation of the price in the base
year (in this case, 1972), and aggregation of the category price indexes. The
category price indexes are aggregated
to facilities, by type, and to total military construction using current-period
weights. This procedure yields implicit price deflators (table 2).5 (Alternatively, the category indexes may be
aggregated using fixed weights. This
procedure was used, with 1977
weights, to prepare the fixed-weighted
price indexes for purchases of structures introduced in "National Defense
Purchases: Detailed Quarterly Estimates, 1977-82" in the November
1982 SURVEY. Further work on fixedweighted price indexes, including extension of the indexes to years before
1977, is planned.)
The price indexes for military construction meet all six criteria listed
earlier:

Table. 2—Implicit Price Deflators for Military
Construction, 1972-82

Results
Table 3 shows price indexes for selected military construction categories. The price for construction of
troop housing increased slightly more
rapidly than did the price for total
military construction over the 197282 period. Within troop housing, the
price for construction of Navy enlisted quarters increased faster than that
for Army enlisted quarters—148 percent compared with 138 percent. The
difference in the rate of increase may
be attributed to geographic influences. Navy facilities generally are
constructed in urban coastal areas
and Army facilities are constructed in
more rural areas. In general, construction costs have risen faster in
urban areas. The price for constructing Navy quarters, after declining for
a few years, turned up sharply in
1979. The price of Army quarters,
which had also been declining, did not
turn up until 1980. Several projects
were started in those years, as other
projects, at lower prices, were being
completed. This combination caused
prices to rise sharply—23 percent for
Navy quarters in 1979 and 58 percent
for Army quarters in 1980.
The price for construction of military hospitals increased from 1972
through 1975 at an average annual
rate of 9V2 percent. After 1975, the
price of hospital construction varied
some—particulary in 1978—but the
1979 price differed little from the
1975 price. Then, from 1979 to 1982,
the price increased at an average
annual rate of 12 percent. Similar to
troop housing, several major projects—which can take from 3 to 6
years—were started in the early

facility. When the final construction report is received, the data
are corrected to show the actual
price paid by the government.
Universe pricing, rather than scientific sampling, was used. The
universe pricing is based on the
system of mandatory reporting of
construction data to DOD. For
recent years, about 90 percent of
these data have been incorporated by BEA into the price indexes;
the percentage is lower for earlier
years.
The indexes are prepared by
BEA. This article serves to describe the broad outlines of the
procedure, and a detailed methodological statement is available
from BEA.
The indexes are available quarterly.
The universe of domestic military
construction is included.
As described, construction categories meet the requirement of
fixed specifications. When specifications change, adjustments are
made to eliminate the effect of
the change.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

1970's as lower priced projects were
completed; this combination caused
prices to increase sharply in the early
1970's. Few new hospitals were begun
after 1975 and the price of construction was relatively flat until 1980,
when new hospital construction again
picked up.
The price change for construction of
dental clinics did not approach that of
hospitals until 1978, when the price
index for dental clinics was 13V2 percent higher than that for hopitals.
The price of dental clinics continued
to accelerate and by 1982, the price
index was 21 percent higher than for
hospitals.
The price for construction of reserve maintenance shops increased
more rapidly than that for tactical
equipment maintenance shops in the
1972-76 period—at an average annual
rate of 17 ¥2 percent compared with
131/2 percent. After 1976, the change
in the price for reserve maintenance
shops was somewhat erratic, and by
1982, the price index was 14 percent
below the index in 1976. However, the
price for tactical equipment maintenance shops continued to increase at
about the same pace as in the early
1970's, and by 1982 the price index
was nearly double the index in 1976.
The price for construction of applied instruction buildings increased
continuously, at an average annual
rate of 10 percent over the 1972-82
period. Prices increased more rapidly,
however, in the first half of the
period—at an annual rate of 12 percent—than in the second half—at a
rate of 8 percent. In contrast, the
price for construction of reserve training centers, although increasing over
the entire period at an annual rate of
about 6 percent, did show some declines. Two factors may explain the
difference in the rate of change in the
two indexes: geographic location and
complexity of the type of structure.
Applied instruction buildings are generally constructed in urban areas and

reserve training centers are generally
constructed outside urban areas. As
stated earlier, in general, construction
costs have risen faster in urban areas.
Applied instruction buildings are
more complex than reserves centers;
the former contain built-in equipment
necessary for the specialized training.
The prices of specialized equipment
have, in general, increased more rapidly than basic construction prices.
The price for the construction of
guided missile facilities is shown in
table 3 to illustrate the abrupt
changes that occur in the prices of a
type of construction that is unique to
the military services. The step increases in the index are indicative of
new groups of guided missile magazines being constructed. The magazines are highly sophisticated storage
installations that are built intermittently as the need occurs. Because
demand for them is not steady and
because of the complexity of construction techniques, there are very few
bidders for each of these projects—implying little price competition. Also,
there is a substantial amount of
highly specialized equipment included
in the construction of the magazines,
and prices for this type of equipment
have increased rapidly.

neering. The overall military construction deflators are used for forecasting future cost trends and for determining future overall construction
budget requirements. The category indexes are used for forecasting price
escalation for specific types of construction. In addition, they serve as
checks on price abberations. When a
particular price is markedly high or
low, DOD questions the contracting
district to determine the cause.

Future work
The cooperation between BEA and
DOD originally worked out in the defense price project continues. The military services are attempting to
obtain more timely and complete reporting of projects in order to develop
more accurate files of the necessary
data. Cooperative arrangements are
underway with two DOD agencies to
transfer the DD813 information via
links between their computer and
BEA's. Completely integrated files
will permit either the DOD user or
BEA to develop programs and results
that best suit their needs as well as to
do timely checks on the accuracy of
the data.

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 designed the computer programs for data retrieval and analysis. R. David Belli wrote the technical note. Ethel J. Wheeler provided statistical
assistance.
1. A U.S. affiliate is a U.S. business enterprise in
which there is foreign direct investment—that is, 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.
2. Previously published data from the annual surveys, covering 1977-79, appeared in Ned G. Howenstine, "Selected Data on the Operations of U.S. Affiliates of Foreign Companies, 1978 and 1979," SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS 61 (May 1981):35-52. The 1977-79
data, as published, are not strictly comparable with
the estimates presented here because the 1977-79 data
were not expanded to universe totals. Comparability is
also limited by changes in methodology adopted in the
1980 benchmark survey of foreign direct investment
in the United States. (For a discussion of changes, see
the two benchmark survey publications cited in footnote 3.) To improve comparability, BE A plans to
adjust the 1977-79 data to conform more closely to the
methodology adopted in 1980 and to expand the data
to universe estimates. The project is scheduled for
completion in late 1984.




3. Results of the 1980 benchmark survey were summarized in R. David Belli, "Foreign Direct Investment
in the United States: Highlights from the 1980 Benchmark Survey," SURVEY 63 (October 1983). More detailed data from the benchmark survey were published in Foreign Direct Investment in the United
States, 1980 (Washington, D.C.: U.S. GPO, October
1983).
4. For a detailed discussion of new investments in
1981, see R. David Belli, "U.S. Business Enterprises
Acquired or Established by Foreign Direct Investors in
1981," SURVEY 62 (June 1983): 27-31. (The 1981 data in
that article were preliminary; for revised 1981 data,
see the article in the June 1982 issue.)
Direct comparisons of financial and operating data
from the annual survey with those from the survey of
new investments are precluded by differences in methodology and coverage. For 1981, a particularly important difference is that the annual survey data cover
U.S. business enterprises that were affiliates of a foreign person at the end of the enterprise's 1981 fiscal
year, while the data from the survey of new investments cover investments that occurred during the
1981 calendar year. For example, the acquisition of
another U.S. enterprise by an existing U.S. affiliate
during calender year 1981 would be reported in the
survey of new investments, but not in the annual
survey, if the acquisition occurred after the close of
the existing affiliate's 1981 fiscal year. (For the annual
survey, an affiliate's fiscal year was defined to be its
financial reporting year that ended in calender 1981.)
Another important difference is that banks are not included in the annual survey data but are included in
the new investments data. Other differences between
the two surveys are discussed in Howenstine, "Selected Data," p. 52.

The growth rate for employment
was much lower than that for assets
for two reasons. First, businesses
newly acquired in 1981 were heavily
concentrated in finance, mining, and
chemicals manufacturing—industries
with particularly low employment-toasset ratios. Second, for existing affiliates, employment grew more slowly
than their assets because changes in
employment, unlike changes in assets,
are not directly affected by inflation.
The remainder of this article discusses growth in affiliate employment
by industry, country of foreign owner,
and the U.S. region and State in
which affiliates were located. The discussion focuses on employment rather
than assets because, as just noted,
changes in employment are not directly affected by inflation and, thus,
tend to reflect more closely growth in
the real economic activity of affiliates. The pattern of growth based on

Estimates for selected items from the

employment may differ from that
based on assets (or any other measure). For example, based on assets,
the rate of growth for wholesale trade
was one of the highest among the
major industries; based on employment, it was well below average.

By industry, over one-half of the
309,000 increase in affiliate employment was attributable to manufacturing affiliates (table 2, chart 4). The increase in manufacturing was, in turn,
largely attributable to affiliates in
chemicals, whose employment in-

creased 130,000, or 46 percent. Other
industries that had particularly sharp
increases in employment were mining
(57 percent), real estate (36 percent),
and petroleum (24 percent). As was
the case generally, the increases in
employment in each of these industries was largely the result of acquisitions of U.S. businesses.
In petroleum, a substantial portion
of the increase in total employment
was attributable to the acquisition of
a major U.S. metals manufacturer by
a British company's U.S. petroleum
affiliate. Data for the acquired firm
appear in petroleum rather than in
manufacturing because of BEA's consolidation and industry classification
rules.5
In contrast to most industries, finance (except banking) and metals
manufacturing had declines in employment. In both, foreign owners
sold their minority interest in large
U.S. affiliates. The decline in metals
also reflected layoffs. The layoffs may
have been in response to worsening
economic conditions during the year,
to longer term problems specific to
that industry (such as heightened
worldwide competition), or both. The
layoffs were centered in primary
metals manufacturing, mainly ferrous
metals.
Layoffs were also widespread in
several other industries, particularly
machinery and chemicals manufacturing. In addition, in machinery, a
major portion of a large affiliate's
electrical machinery manufacturing
operation was sold; this sale caused
the affiliate's industry classification
to shift to wholesale trade. However,
in both machinery and chemicals, increases in employment due to acquisi-

5. BEA requires a U.S. affiliate to consolidate all of
its foreign .parents' other U.S. affiliates that it owns
more than 50 percent. BEA then classifies the fully
consolidated affiliate in the single industry in which
its sales are largest. Because sales of the consolidated
entity are usually largest in the industry of the acquiring affiliate, data for the acquired enterprise usually, but not always, appear in that industry. They
would not appear in the industry of the acquiring affiliate if the distribution of sales of the consolidated
affiliate changes significantly when the acquired enterprise is included—that is, if the consolidated affiliate's sales after the acquisition are larger in either
the acquired enterprise's industry or in some third industry. Also, if the acquiring affiliate has an interest
of 50 percent or less in the acquired enterprise, data
for the acquired enterprise will not be consolidated on
the acquiring affiliate's report. Instead the data for
the acquired enterprise will be reported separately
and classified in its own industry.

tions or other causes more than offset
these decreases in employment.
By country of ultimate beneficial
owner (UBO), over two-fifths of the
growth in employment was accounted
for by affiliates with UBO's in
Canada.6 The increase in employment
for these affiliates was 134,000, or 46
percent. It largely reflected the acquisition of a minority interest in a
major U.S. chemical company by a
U.S. affiliate of a large Canadian distiller. Employment of affiliates with
UBO's in the United States; the
Middle East; and Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa also increased
sharply. The increase for affiliates
with UBO's in the United States was
from a relatively small base; it resulted from the acquisition of three U.S.
businesses by companies located in
the Netherlands Antilles and Bermuda that were, in turn, ultimately
owned by U.S. persons. The increase
for affiliates with UBO's in the
Middle East was largely attributable
to affiliates with Kuwaiti and Lebanese UBO's.
Employment of affiliates with European UBO's increased 103,000, or 7
percent. Almost all of the increase
was attributable to affiliates with
UBO's in the Netherlands and the
United Kingdom. Employment of affiliates with UBO's in Germany and
Switzerland declined. The decline for
Germany partly reflected widespread
reductions in employment of manufacturing affiliates, particularly in
chemicals. The decline for Switzerland was more than accounted for by
affiliates in manufacturing and retail
trade.
Among U.S. regions, the sharpest
increases in affiliate employment
were in the Rocky Mountains (37 percent) and the Southwest (32 percent)
(table 3 and chart 5). Both regions
have abundant deposits of petroleum,
coal, and other minerals and the increases there partly reflected the acquisition of several large U.S. enterprises involved in natural resource exploitation. In the Rocky Mountains,

6. The UBO is that person, proceeding up a U.S. affiliate's ownership chain, beginning with 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 an affiliate's ownership chain.
Unlike the foreign parent, the UBO of an affiliate
may be located in the United States.

where employment increased 14,000,
over one-half of the increase was in
Utah; it largely reflected a Britishowned affiliate's acquisition of a
copper mining operation there. In the
Southwest, where affiliate employment increased 57,000, growth was
mainly in Texas and Arizona. In
Texas, the increase was 36,000, the

largest increase in affiliate employment of any individual State. The increase was partly attributable to a
Canadian-owned affiliate's acquisition
of a major U.S. chemical company
with petroleum and petrochemical operations in the State. The increase
also partly reflected expansions by
Dutch- and French-owned affiliates in

retail trade. In Arizona, where affiliate employment increased 15,000, the
acquisition of a large coal mining
firm by a British company and a supermarket chain by a Canadianowned affiliate accounted for most of
the change.
The smallest percent increases in
affiliate employment were in the
Great Lakes and the Plains (3 and 6
percent, respectively.) The small increase in the Great Lakes partly reflected employment declines in three
States in the region—Illinois, Indiana,
and Michigan. Although the total decline in affiliate employment in these
States was small—less than 4,000 employees—it contrasts sharply with the
pattern of increases for most other
States. (Employment of affiliates declined in only one other State—Vermont—and, of the 46 States with increases in employment, growth rates
were 5 percent or larger in all but
seven.)
Employment declined in the three
Great Lakes States for several reasons. First, none of the major U.S. enterprises acquired during the year
had substantial employment in these
States. Second, although some existing affiliates expanded their employment in these States during the year,
such expansions were more than
offset by widespread declines in the
employment of other affiliates. Third,
partial or total selloffs of affiliates reduced employment, particularly in Illinois and Michigan.
Among other regions, increases in
employment ranged from 20 percent
in the Southeast to 11 percent in the
Far West. In the Southeast, the increase reflected the addition of 95,000
employees, the largest increase in any
region.
After Texas, increases in employment among individual States were
largest in Delaware, New York, and
California. In each of these States,
employment of affiliates increased by
more than 20,000.

ed in BEA's 1980 benchmark survey
of foreign direct investment in the
United States. To simplify the procedure, the 1980 universe was defined
as all nonbank affiliates that filed
complete reports in the benchmark
survey. Complete reports were required to be filed by U.S. affiliates
that has assets, sales, or net income of
$1 million or more or that owned 200
or more acres of U.S. land.7
Reporting in the 1981 annual
survey was required of all U.S. affiliates that has assets, sales, or net
income greater than $5 million or
that owned 1,000 or more acres of
U.S. land. Affiliates that filed complete reports in the benchmark

were also required to report in the benchmark survey,
but they filed partial reports containing only a few
key items of financial and operating data. Although
affiliates filing such partial reports were large in
number, the values reported by them for key items
were very small; taken together, they accounted for
0.6 percent or less of the values reported by all affiliates. Thus, affiliates that filed complete reports accounted for virtually all of the universe in terms of
value.

were not required to report. Furthermore, some affiliates that were required to report in the 1981 annual
survey were not in the 1981 sample
data when 1981 universe estimates
were derived. The data were not in
the sample for two reasons: (1) reports
for a few affiliates had not yet been
received, and (2) reports for a group of
relatively small affiliates either arrived too late or required extensive
editing that could not be completed in
time to meet BEA's publication schedule.

November 1983

To derive 1981 universe totals, 1981
data had to be estimated for those
U.S. affiliates not required to report
and for those whose data were not
available. They were assumed to be
the same as the data reported by
these same affiliates in the 1980
benchmark survey. Thus, universe estimates for 1981 are the sum of data
reported in the 1981 annual survey
for affiliates in the 1981 sample, and
data reported in the 1980 benchmark
survey for affiliates not in the 1981
sample.

Table A shows, for both total assets
and employment, the percentage of
the 1981 universe estimates accounted
for by the 1981 sample data. At the
all-industries, all-countries level, coverage is 91.3 percent for assets and
88.6 percent for employment. Coverage falls significantly below these
averages only in industry and country
cells where affiliates tend to be of
small average size (for example, in
real estate and "other industries"
among industries, and in Latin America and "other Africa, Asia, and Pacific" among areas).

1. Beginning 1983, the reporting Frequency has been changed from a monthly to a quarterly basis.
t Effective Feb. 1983 S U R V E Y , the money stock measures and components have been
revised back to 1959. Effective April 1980 SURVEY, the monetary aggregates were redefined by the Federal Reserve. The redefinition was prompted by the emergence in recent
years of new monetary assets—for example, negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts
and money market mutual fund shares—and alterations in the basic character of established monetary assets—for example, the growing similarity of and substitution between
the deposits of thrift institutions and those of commercial banks. Monthly data from 1959 to
date are available from the Banking Section of the Division of Research and Statistics at the
Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D.C. 20551.
$ Composition of the money stock measures is as follows:
Ml.—This measure is currency plus demand deposits at commercial banks and interestearning checkable deposits at all depositary institutions—namely NOW accounts, automatic transfer from savings (ATS) accounts, and credit union share draft balances—as well
as a small amount of demand deposits at thrift institutions that cannot, using present data
sources, be separated from interest-earning checkable deposits.
M2.—This measure adds to M l overnight repurchase agreements (RP's) issued by commercial banks and certain overnight Eurodollars (those issued by Caribbean branches of
member banks) held by U.S. nonbank residents, money market mutual fund shares, and
savings and small-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of less than
$100,000) at all depositary institutions. Depositary institutions are commercial banks (including U.S. agencies and branches of foreign banks, Edge Act corporations, and foreign investment
companies), mutual savings banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions.
M3.—This measure equals M2 plus large-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of $100,000 or more) at all depositary institutions (including negotiable CD's) plus
term RP's issued by commercial banks and savings and loan associations.
/..-—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.
tt Includes ATS and NOW balances at all institutions, credit union share draft balances, and demand deposits at m u t u a l savings banks.
# Overnight (and continuing contract) RP's are those issued by commercial banks to the
nonbank public, and overnight Eurodollars are those issued by Caribbean branches of member
banks to U.S. nonbank customers.
(a 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, t h r i f t institutions, the U.S. Government, money market mutual funds, and
foreign banks and official institutions.
# Includes data for items not shown separately.
§ Number of issues represents number currently used; the change in number does not
affect the continuity of the series.
(a (ft A n n u a l data for 1978-82 arid monthly data for 1982 have been revised to exclude

BUSINESS STATISTICS: 1982
Business Statistics: 1982 is the twenty-third in a series of supplements to the monthly SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS. It presents data for approximately 1,900 series that are shown each month in the S (or "blue") pages of the
SURVEY. The main body of the publication presents monthly data for 1979-82 and annual data for 1961-82.
Appendix I provides monthly data for 1961-78 for approximately 250 of these series. Methodological notes
describing sources, definitions, methods of compilation, revisions, and time span covered, follow the main body of
tables.
Quarterly and annual data for 1951-82 for selected series prepared by the Bureau of Economic Analysis—National
Income and Product Accounts (140 series), Plant and Equipment Expenditures (20 series), and U.S. International
Transactions (30 series)—appear in Appendix II. Until recently these series had been shown in the blue pages of the
SURVEY; now they are shown only in the white pages. Methodological notes for Appendix II follow the tables.
Business Statistics: 1982 breaks with tradition in some significant ways. The system for dating the volumes was
changed. The "1982" in the title of this edition indicates the last year for which data are shown. Earlier editions were
dated with odd-numbered years that usually indicated the year the edition went to press; they contained data
through the previous year. Also, this edition is the first to use computerized typesetting, which makes possible more
timely publication. The data in Business Statistics: 1982 contain revisions available through July 1983.
Copies of Business Statistics: 1982 will be available in December; for price and ordering instructions, call (202)
523-0769 or 523-0783.
