the BUSINESS SITUATION
JTVEVISED (45-day) estimates show
that real GNP increased at an annual
rate of 2 percent in the third quarter
of 1984 (table 1). Preliminary (15-day)
estimates, published a month ago, had
shown a 2V2-percent increase.1 The
only sizable revisions were an upward
revision of $3% billion in nonresidential fixed investment (mainly due to a
revision in producers' durable equipment) and a downward revision of $4
billion in net exports (due to a downward revision in exports and an
upward revision in imports). A small
upward revision in personal consumption expenditures was more than accounted for by services. Small downward revisions were in residential investment, change in business inventories (due to nonfarm inventories), and
government purchases (more than accounted for by national defense purchases). The GNP fixed-weighted
price index, which registered a 4-percent increase in the third quarter,
was revised little.
Overall, the economic picture presented in the October "Business Situation" has not changed significantly.
The third-quarter increase in real
GNP was a marked slowdown from
increases of 7 percent and 10 percent
in the second and first quarters, respectively. A swing in final sales—to
a small decline after a sharp increase
in the second quarter—more than accounted for the third-quarter deceleration in GNP; an increase in inventory investment provided only a partial offset. Within final sales, all components contributed to the third-quarter swing; personal consumption expenditures contributed nearly onehalf and net exports more than onefourth.
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 1972 dollars.




Corporate profits
Profits from current production—
profits with inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) and capital consumption adjustment (CCAdj)—declined
$9V2 billion in the third quarter, to
$281% billion, following a $13 V2 billion increase in the second quarter.
Domestic profits of financial corporations were down $2 billion; those of
nonfinancial corporations, $7 billion;
and profits from the rest of the world,
$Vfe billion. Occasional dips in profits
are not uncommon as expansions
mature; therefore, it is too early to

say whether profits have peaked yet
for this expansion. Even after a peak
in profits, however, GNP has typically
continued to expand for several quarters.
The decline in profits follows six
quarters of consecutive increases and
reflects the progressive slowing of
real GNP in 1984. Real corporate
product also slowed. In the third
quarter, it increased Yz percent, following six quarters of growth that
ranged from 4x/2 to 15 percent.
Per unit profits declined, more than
offsetting the slight increase in real
product. Costs incurred and prices re-

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
ceived by corporations per unit of real
product were up, but the increase in
costs exceeded that in prices. Both
labor and nonlabor costs increased—
labor costs by more than twice as
much as nonlabor costs.
Adjustments
to profits.—Profits
before tax—profits without IVA and
CCAdj—declined $22 V2 billion to
$2231/2 billion, following a $2V2 billion
increase in the second quarter. The
IVA and CCAdj convert inventories
and depreciation reported by business
to those used in the national income
and product accounts (NIPA's). The
CCAdj was up $6 billion, following a
$4J/2 billion increase; the increases
mainly reflected the effect of shorter
service lives for depreciation of capital permitted under the Economic
Recovery Tax Act of 1981. The IVA
again increased, by $7 billion, reflecting smaller increases in inventory
prices. In the second quarter, it had
increased $6 billion.
Disposition of profits before tax.—
Corporate profits tax liability declined
$11 % billion, to $84% billion, following a $3 billion increase. The 1984
quarterly estimates incorporate the
effects of the tax changes resulting
from the Deficit Reduction Act of
1984. (For a detailed explanation of
the changes and their effects, see the
August 1984 issue of the SURVEY.) The
third-quarter decline in tax liability
reflected the decline in profits before
tax. Dividends were up $1V2 billion, to
$81 Vk billion, following a $2 billion increase. Undistributed profits were
down $12 billion, to $58 billion, following a $2x/2 billion decline.
Profits by industry.—Profits with
IVA but without CCAdj—the variant
of profits available by industry—declined $15 V2 billion in the third quarter, to $223% billion, following a $9
billion increase in the second quarter.
Domestic profits of financial corporations were down $2 billion, to $27
billion, following no change. Savings
and loan associations' profits more
than accounted for the decline.
Domestic profits of nonfinancial
corporations declined $13 billion, to
$176 billion, following a $13 billion increase. Manufacturers' profits accounted for about three-fourths of the
decline. Within profits of manufacturers of nondurable goods, declines were
widespread; profits of manufacturers
of petroleum and coal products and of
chemicals and allied products accounted for most of the decline. Prof-




its of durable goods manufacturers
changed little.
In nonmanufacturing industries, decreases in trade and in the transportation, communication, and utilities"
group more than offset a small increase in other nonmanufacturing industries. Within trade, retail trade
more than accounted for the decline.
The change in these profits is consistent with the third-quarter slowing in
personal consumption expenditures.

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 the State and local
governments increased $24 billion.
The deterioration occurred at both
levels of government: The Federal
Government deficit increased, and the
State and local government surplus
declined. However, at $131 billion, the
combined deficit was lower than a
year earlier. This improvement was
more than accounted for by a $4 billion decline in the Federal deficit.
The Federal sector
The Federal Government deficit increased $13 billion in the third quarter to $177 billion, as expenditures increased more than receipts. Receipts
increased $3 billion, compared with
$18 billion in the second quarter. The
slowing was largely due to corporate
profits tax accruals, which declined $9
billion—reflecting the drop in corporate profits—after a moderate increase. Personal tax and nontax receipts again increased $9 billion. Contributions for social insurance increased $3 billion, and indirect business tax and nontax accruals increased about $x/2 billion, both somewhat less than in the second quarter.
In the latter, a $1 billion increase in
customs duties and nontaxes was
partly offset by a decline in windfall
profit taxes.
Expenditures increased $16 Vk billion, compared with $20 Vb billion in
the second quarter. Net interest paid
increased $11 Million, accounting for
over two-thirds of the increase in
total expenditures. Nondefense purchases increased $7 billion: Purchases
by the Commodity Credit Corporation
(CCC) increased $5% billion, and all

November 1984

other purchases increased $1V2 billion. The increase in CCC purchases
was largely the result of regular operations; PIK transactions accounted for
less than $1 billion. Transfer payments to persons increased $2x/2 billion; a $3 billion increase in Social Security benefits was partly offset by a
$x/2 billion decline in unemployment
benefits.
All other categories of expenditures
declined. Subsidies less the current
surplus of government enterprises declined $2x/2 billion, reflecting declines
in the CCC deficit ($1% billion) and in
agricultural subsidies ($Vfc billion).
Grants-in-aid to State and local governments declined $1 billion, and
transfer payments to foreigners and
national defense purchases declined
$x/2 billion each. The decline in national defense purchases was more
than accounted for by a significant
falloff in the delivery of all types of
military equipment (see table 2 on
page 9).
Cyclically adjusted budget.—When
measured using cyclical adjustments
based on middle-expansion trend
GNP, the Federal fiscal position
moved from a deficit of $165 billion in
the second quarter to a deficit of $173
billion in the third (see table 3 on
page 10). The cyclically adjusted deficit as a percentage of middle-expansion trend GNP increased from 4.5
percent in the second quarter to 4.7
percent in the third—a move toward
a more expansionary fiscal position.
Fiscal year 1984-—For fiscal year
1984, which ended September 30, the
Federal Government deficit (on the
NIPA basis) amounted to $171 billion,
slightly higher than the deficit projected in the mid-session review of the
unified budget (see the August
SURVEY for details of the midsession
review). Receipts were $6 billion
lower, and expenditures were $5 billion lower, than previously estimated.
The State and local sector
The State and local government
surplus declined $8% billion in the
third quarter to $46 billion, as expenditures increased
significantly
more than receipts. A large decline in
the surplus of "other" funds was
partly offset by an increase in the
surplus of social insurance funds.
Receipts increased $2% billion,
compared with $11 billion in the
second quarter. The slowing was

November 1984

largely due to declines in corporate
profits tax accruals ($2 billion) and in
federal grants-in-aid ($1 billion). Indirect business tax and nontax accruals
increased $3x/2 billion; property taxes
and sales taxes contributed $2 billion
and $1V2 billion, respectively, to the
increase. Personal tax and nontax receipts and contributions for social insurance increased $1 billion each.
Expenditures increased $liy2 billion, slightly more than in the previous quarter. Purchases of goods and
services more than accounted for the
increase; all other expenditures, on
balance, declined $x/2 billion. Within
purchases, compensation increased
$4x/2 billion, construction increased $4
billion, and all other purchases increased $3 billion. More than one-half
of the increase in construction was accounted for by highway construction,
which has increased sharply—$5 billion—since the first quarter of 1984.
Alternative measure of fiscal position.—Ta^le 2 updates the alternative
measure of the State and local government fiscal position introduced in
the March 1984 SURVEY. The update
incorporates the NIPA revisions of
July 1984, recent flow-of-funds revisions by the Federal Reserve Board,
and preliminary 1982-83 Governmental Finances data from the Census
Bureau. The basic fiscal position of
State and local governments as shown
by the alternative measure is the
same as shown in the March presen-

then swung to surplus in 1983. However, the fiscal position in 1981 looks

higher, and the surplus in 1983 is

$5Va billion lower, than previously estimated.
November ballot highlights.—A
number of state and local tax and expenditure issues were up for voter
consideration in November. Major
limitations on taxes, expenditures, or
both, appeared on ballots in California, Michigan, Nevada, and Oregon;
all were defeated. Proposals to increase general sales taxes were defeated in Arkansas and West Virginia, as was a proposal to exempt grocery food from sales tax coverage in
Idaho. In contrast, voters approved
several bonded debt issues and lotteries.
Bond issues on the ballots totaled
almost $5 billion, the largest volume
of issues offered for approval since
1975. The largest issues approved
were $2*/2 billion in California for
water conservancy and pollution control, schools, veterans' loans, and hazardous waste cleanup, and over $Vfe
billion in Alaska for financing veterans' housing. Over $% billion in new
issues were rejected; major turndowns
were in Arkansas (for waste disposal)
and West Virginia (for a variety of
projects). Four States—California,
Missouri, Oregon, and West Virginia—approved new lotteries. When the
new lotteries are in full operation
(probably in the fiscal year beginning
July 1986), it is estimated that they
will add a total of $x/2 billion annually
to state revenues.

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.

National Defense Spending:
A Review of Appropriations and Real Purchases
NATIONAL defense buildup has
been underway for nearly a decade. It
was undertaken in the context of increased international turbulence and
a steady strengthening of Soviet nuclear and conventional forces, and now
spans three administrations. This article reviews the buildup in terms of
both budget appropriations and real
purchases of goods and services, a national income and product accounting
(NIPA) measure. Appropriations are
reviewed because they are the form in
which the budgetary aspects of an administration's defense policy are debated and acted upon by Congress,
and, thus, mirror many of the general
considerations—the balance of military power and sharply rising Federal

deficits—that affected the buildup.
(The accompanying box traces the
budget process and defines some
budget terms used in the article.)
However, factors other than appropriations also affected the realization
of the buildup. Some of these—for example, production stretchouts and
slowdowns—are discussed before reviewing the buildup as measured by
real purchases.

National Defense
Appropriations
In his budget message in early
1975, President Ford announced that
his appropriation request for fiscal

year 1976 would reverse the decline
in real national defense spending that
had occurred over the preceding 7
years. Appropriations had declined in
2 years, and, in addition, increases in
costs of defense programs had been
largely offset by reductions in programs and strength. Presentation of a
target in real terms reflected the enhanced awareness of inflation and
more clearly focused debate on whether, and to what extent, to undertake a
buildup.1 The administration targeted
annual real increases of 4 percent for
1. The real spending estimates that are included in
the budget documents are usually in terms of dollars
of the current year, and thus cannot be used to create
a consistent time series.

The Budget Process
The budget process has three main phases: (1) executive formulation and transmittal, (2) congressional action, and (3) budget execution.
Executive formulation and transmittal.—The budget sets forth
an administration's financial plan and priorities, or fiscal policy,
for the Federal Government. As required by the Congressional
Budget Act of 1974, the budget is a multiyear planning system
that extends coverage to the 4 years following the budget year. For
example, in the fiscal year 1985 budget transmitted to Congress on
February 1, 1984, the budget year was fiscal year 1985 and coverage extended through fiscal year 1989. In addition, the budget provides a revised estimate for the current fiscal year (in the fiscal
year 1985 budget, fiscal year 1984). The budget is formulated in
terms of budget authority—in the case of national defense, often
referred to as appropriation request—and outlays. The budget
must be transmitted to Congress within 15 days after the start of
each new session in January, unless the transmittal date is modified by a joint resolution of the Congress.
Congressional action.—Congressional review of the budget begins
when the administration transmits the budget to Congress. Under
the procedures established by the Congressional Budget Act of
1974, the Congress considers budget totals—receipts, outlays, and
the deficit—before completing action on individual appropriations.
The act requires each standing committee—such as the Armed
Services Committee, which has jurisdiction over defense appropriations—to report on budget estimates to the House and Senate
Budget Committees by March 15. The act also requires the Congressional Budget Office to submit a fiscal policy report to the two
budget committees. The Congress then adopts a first budget resolution by May 15. The first resolution sets targets for budget totals
and 18 budget functions, such as national defense. The functional
targets are intended to represent broad priorities, not specific




judgments as to the mix of programs within each function; the
latter is determined by congressional committees. A second resolution, which must be adopted by September 15, sets final totals for
revenue and spending. If the committee decisions do not meet the
first resolution targets, the second resolution must provide for a
final reconciliation by changing one or more of the following: (1)
appropriations, (2) revenues, or (3) the public debt. After the
second resolution is adopted, Congress generally cannot consider
any spending or revenue legislation that would breach the specified totals. Congress may, however, adopt a new resolution or
waive the requirements not to exceed the resolution totals.
Through the several steps of this process, the Congress acts to approve, modify, or disapprove an administration's budget proposals.
Congress can change funding levels, eliminate proposals, or add
programs not requested by an administration. It also enacts legislation affecting taxes and other sources of receipts. The Congress
does not vote on the level of outlays directly, but rather on the
budget authority that allows an agency to carry out a particular
program. This action is followed by an appropriation bill, which
provides the funds that have been authorized.
Budget execution.—Once approved, the budget, as modified by
Congress, becomes the basis for the financial plan for the operations of each agency during the fiscal year. Given the budget authority and appropriations, obligations can be incurred. Obligations include the current liabilities for wages and salaries, contracts for the purchases of supplies and equipment, and other arrangements requiring the payment or money. Obligations are liquidated by the issuance of checks or the disbursement of cash;
such payments are outlays. Outlays during a fiscal year may be
for payment of obligations incurred in prior years or in the same
year. Outlays, therefore, flow in part from unexpended balances of
prior-year budget authority and in part from current-year budget
authority.

fiscal years 1976-81. For 1976, an increase in the appropriation request—
such requests are in current dollars—
of $17 billion, or 25 percent, to $103
billion, was designed to implement
this target (table 1). The emphasis
was on maintaining defense preparedness, modernization of strategic
forces, and strengthening general purposes forces while reducing support
staff. Much of the proposed increase
was accepted by Congress; as enacted,
the increase was 13 percent.
President Carter, in the budget submitted in early 1978, sought to continue real growth. He targeted 3-percent
annual real increases for the next
several years, within an emphasis on
increases consistent with strengthening the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The appropriation request for fiscal year 1979 was $128 billion, up $10 billion, or 9 percent, from
the preceding year. It was designed to
improve the readiness and sustainability of general purpose forces, accelerate the rebuilding of the fleet,
initiate development of a new intercontinental ballistic missile, and otherwise continue the modernization of
the strategic forces.
Key members of Congress were
skeptical that the appropriation increases were staying ahead of inflation. This concern was evidenced in a
second budget resolution, adopted in
September 1979, that included a 5percent real increase for fiscal years
1981 and 1982. Subsequently, the administration accepted the higher rate
in return for Senate consideration—
refused earlier in the wake of the
Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan—of the strategic arms limitation
treaty. The hearings on the treaty,
which was never ratified, reviewed in
depth the various elements of the balance of military power between the
United States and the Soviet Union.
The emerging mood added support for
increased defense spending. However,
by March 1980, a revised budget put
the rate back at 3 percent. This action
reflected the broad context in which
the budget was being formulated: the
forecasts of a weak economy in 1980
and the beginnings of a drive toward
budget balance. Nonetheless, for the
first time in 13 years, Congress significantly increased appropriations
beyond what the administration requested. For fiscal year 1981, the administration requested $162 billion;
$182 billion was finally appropriated.

The $20 billion increase was largely
aimed at increasing production rates
for most kinds of ships and combat arcraft and at substantially increasing
military pay and benefits.
In the last budget prepared by the
Carter administration, it was noted
that the United States had exceeded
the NATO allies' commitment to increase real national defense spending
by 3 percent a year. Real appropriations were estimated to have increased more than 5 percent in fiscal
years 1980 and 1981. The request for
1982, and the 5-year plan for 1982-86,
continued that rate.
It was from this base that President
Reagan announced, in 1981, a program to accelerate the rate of increase in national defense spending.
To begin with, he requested substantial additions to spending in fiscal
years 1981 (of which 6 months remained) and 1982. The initial requested appropriation for 1982 was $226
billion, $26 billion more than the previous administration's request. The
increase from the preceding year was
by far the largest in peacetime appropriations history. Relative to the previous administration's budget, the increased funding was for the gamut of
military air, land, and sea equipment
and also higher military pay. Within
a few months, the administration
pared this request because it became
clear that production of equipment
could not be accelerated in line with
appropriations and to help reduce the
sharply rising Federal deficit that was
then in prospect.
Prior to the fiscal year 1982 budget,
Congress had accepted the administration's broad allocation of the defense budget. However, in the ensuing
congressional debate, the allocation
was questioned. In particular, it was

November 1984

alleged that the purchase of complex
weapons systems at the expense of
ammunition, spare parts, and training jeopardized the "combat readiness" of the armed forces. This issue
faded, but did not disappear. As enacted, the appropriation for fiscal
year 1982 was $219 billion, less than
the administration's request, but up
20 percent from 1981 and 50 percent
from 1980.
The prospect of large and increasing Federal budget deficits, even with
substantial cuts in nondefense spending, provided a serious challenge to
accelerated defense spending. The deficit issue had surfaced with regard to
the fiscal year 1982 appropriation,
and came to the fore a year later. As
submitted in January 1982, the
budget for fiscal year 1983 requested
an appropriation of $263 billion, up 20
percent—an estimated 13 percent in
real terms—from the 1982 appropriation. The request for 1983 included
funds for production of several weapons systems: 7 B-l bombers ($4 billion), 9 MX missiles ($1.5 billion), and
2 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers
($6.8 billion). In May, in negotiations
with Senate leaders centering on the
deficit issue, the administration
agreed to reduce proposed defense
spending over 3 years by moderate
amounts. Congress finally approved
an appropriation of $246 billion for
1983, $17 billion below the initial administration request. Also, late in
1982, Congress refused to approve production funds for the MX missile.
This action was the first congressional denial of the administration's request for a major weapon system.
As the fiscal year 1984 budget was
submitted, the economy was beginning to recover from the severe 198182 recession, but the Federal deficit
was rising sharply. The administration's request for 1984 defense spending, although trimmed from its initial
request for that year, represented a
10-percent real increase. Sentiment in
Congress was for additional restraint,
and the allocation of defense funds
was an issue again. In trimming its
proposal, the administration had
eliminated a military and civilian pay
raise, but had not significantly cut
the funding of major weapons systems. This approach not only rekindled the readiness issue, but it also
carried implications for future deficits. Unlike other appropriations
(such as for pay) that are spent in a

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

November 1984

single year, procurement funds are
spent over a much longer time—generally 5 years, with highest spending
in the middle 3 years. Thus, trimming
appropriations for procurement would
have had a larger impact on future
deficits than trimming those for other
purposes. Congress first endorsed a
real spending increase in the range of
4 to 5 percent. By the time Congressional action was completed, the 1984
appropriation was $265 billion, down
$15 billion from the initial request. In
real terms, it was an increase of 4
percent.
The reductions from initial requests
for fiscal years 1982-84 did not curtail
the buildup in a substantial way. Several billion dollars of the "reductions"
came from lower-than-expected fuel
prices. The remaining reductions affected forces, training, and readiness
more than they affected procurement
of major weapons systems. Procurement of these systems probably was
not affected substantially for a
number of reasons. (1) In many cases,
reductions were implemented by
stretchouts and slowdowns. A stretchout extends the procurement for a
given number of units over a longer
time by reducing the rate of production. A slowdown is a temporary reduction in the rate of production,
which may or may not extend the
procurement. Neither stretchouts or

13

slowdowns result in lost spending;
they only delay spending while the
system is in the pipeline. (2) The unit
cost of some weapon systems was lowered. For example, the unit cost of the
F-18 fighter was lowered by eliminating some electronic equipment. (3)
The planned decommissioning of a
number of aged ships was accelerated
to save funds in the short run, in
order to obtain funds for a new ship.
The same factors that reduced appropriations in the short run will
cause future national defense appropriations to remain high. As noted,
stretchouts and slowdowns generally
have not resulted in canceling any
weapon systems, but in delivery of
systems over a longer period and, reflecting the lower rate of production,
at a higher unit cost. Reductions in
unit costs such as achieved by eliminating electronic equipment from aircraft will only be temporary; at some
point the extra cost will have to be incurred if the system is to perform its
mission fully. Another indication that
future appropriations will remain
high is the steady increase in the
share of national defense spending accounted for by prior-year contracts
and obligations. Prior-year contracts
and obligations were 20 percent of national defense outlays in fiscal year
1977; they increased to 32 percent in
fiscal year 1983 and are projected to

increase to 43 percent in fiscal year
1989. To the extent that the prioryear contracts, cover systems being
stretched out and slowed down, this
development is part of the effect just
noted. However, a part is for systems,
such as the B-l bomber and the MX
missile, that have only recently entered into production and will require
annual appropriations. Further, it
may well be that the sophistication of
the new generation of weapons will
mean that the training, spare parts,
and ammunition needed to support
them will be expensive and require
higher appropriations.

Real National Defense
Purchases
National defense purchases is the
final point in the spending process:
Appropriations lead to obligations
and then to outlays; outlays, in turn,
are followed by purchases.2 Purchases
are measured on a delivery basis, that
is, when goods and services are delivered to the military. They include
compensation of military and civilian
employees as well as purchases of
goods and services—such as aircraft,
missiles, research and development,
and depot maintenance—from the
business sector. Real—that is, constant-dollar—national defense purchases are prepared using detailed information on purchases and prices
paid by the Department of Defense.
They are only available for the period
beginning in 1972 (table 2). (See the
November 1982 SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS for a discussion of the development of estimates of real national
defense purchases, and table 2 page 9
of this issue for current quarterly estimates.)
This section begins by discussing
some of the factors other than appropriations that, working through production rates, affect the pattern of
real purchases. After providing historical perspective, it reviews the calendar-year changes in real national defense purchases and the shifts in
their composition since 1976. First it

national defense purchases, see table 9 in Joseph C.
Wakefield and Richard C. Ziemer, "Federal Fiscal Programs," SURVEY 64 (February 1984):17. The main conceptual difference is that outlays include, and purchases do not, spending for military retirement; in the
NIPA's, military retirement pay is a transfer payment.

14

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

provides an overview. Then it highlights purchases of military equipment, which is where the buildup has
been concentrated.
Production rates
As mentioned earlier, a number of
factors other than increases in appropriations affected the pattern of
growth of real national defense purchases. These include "buy sizes",
competition, cost overruns, stretchouts, slowdowns, and management decisions. All of them work through production rates, which affect both costs
and prices and, real purchases. A
major way that production rates
affect costs and prices is through the
allocation of fixed costs. Production of
weapon systems involves large fixed
costs, such as for research and development and for tooling. As production
rates increase with larger buy sizes,
these fixed costs can be allocated over
more units, resulting in lower unit
prices. Although it is not possible to
quantify the effect of these factors
some illustrations are suggestive.
Efforts to get production rates up
and prices down have been countered
by budget constraints and by the
large number of different weapon systems in production. Two ways in
which budget constraints have been
brought to bear are reductions in the
buy size—that is, the number of units
to be purchased in a year—and
stretchouts. For example, the Army
was mandated in the 1984 Defense
Authorization Act to reduce its buy
size of light armored vehicles. The
fixed costs will now be spread over
751 units, as opposed to 1,501 units,
for the combined purchases of the
Army and Marine Corps. As a result,
the estimated unit cost of the vehicles
is to increase 50 percent. This reduction in the buy size of a weapon
system resulted in a moderate savings
in current-dollar spending but a far
larger reduction in real purchases; at
the higher unit price, the appropriation bought fewer vehicles.
Stretchouts have been used to
reduce spending in a particular year
without cancelling a program. Recently, the purchase of 32 AH-64 helicopters was deferred to achieve a shortrun budget savings in 1984. As in the
case of the reduction in buy size, real
purchases were reduced in the year. If
the helicopters are delivered in a
future period, unit costs will be

appears to have resulted in significant price reduction for these missiles. In 1972, prior to competition,
the Dragon missile had a unit price of
$6,542. In 1974, two contractors were
supplying the missile at unit prices of
$6,473 and $4,569. In the following
year, the higher priced contractor had
a unit price of $2,633 and the other
contractor, a unit price of $3,227. A
recent example of a private management decision was the sale by one
firm of its tank production facilities
to another. Under the new management, the unit price of the 1984 buy
was reduced 13 percent. Subsequently, Congress upped the buy size to utilize the "saving."

higher. According to a special study
by the Congressional Budget Office,
the administration's changes to the
fiscal year 1985 defense budget indicate that unit prices of many weapon
systems will increase because of
stretchouts.3
By contrast, other factors—such as
competition and management decisions—may have reduced unit prices,
allowing increased real purchases.
Competition generally plays only a
limited role in the production of
major weapons systems. Although
several firms may compete for the initial contract to do the research and
development, the field usually has
narrowed by the time the contract for
production is to be let, and purchases
are usually from a single supplier. An
attempt to develop a multisupplier
situation for the Dragon missile program provides insight on the effects
of competition. For that program, two
producers competed annually for the
majority share of the planned production for that year. The competition

Historical perspective
To provide historical perspective, a
series on real national defense purchases prior to 1972 was approximated by using the implicit price deflator
for total Federal Government purchases to deflate current-dollar national defense purchases. The broad
pattern of response to international
crisis or perceived national interest is
clear. In 1941, real purchases increased significantly as the United
States entered World War II. Following the war, they declined for a brief
period before turning up in 1948 in
response to the "cold war". A significant increase in 1951 reflected the
outset of the Korean conflict, and increases continued through 1953. Purchases declined in 1954 and continued
to do so through 1960, except in 1957,
when there was unrest in Eastern
Europe and the Near East. They increased in 1961-62 in response to a
Berlin crisis and a general strengthening of the military, but then declined through 1965. In 1966, the Vietnam conflict pushed purchases up significantly, and they continued to increase through 1968. Thereafter, purchases declined until they showed a
small increase in 1977.4
In the 36 years from 1940 to 1976,
real national defense purchases increased in fewer years than they declined. The longest period of increases
was from 1948 through 1953; the longest period of declines was from 1969
through 1976. It was this period of declining real purchases—from a Viet-

and civilian employees were larger,
especially after the first 2 years.
Through 1983, the average annual
rate of increase was 6l/2 percent.
As indicated by the more rapid increase in real purchases excluding
compensation than in total purchases,
the share of total purchases allocated
to compensation declined (table 4 and
chart 3). In 1976, compensation of
military and civilian employees accounted for almost 50 percent of total
purchases. Since then, the share declined steadily to 46 percent in 1980
and 41 percent in 1983. The decline
occurred in both military and civilian
compensation, but was more pronounced in the military share.
The share of compensation declined
because the national defense buildup
has not involved any significant increase in the size of the armed forces
or in civilian personnel. From a Vietnam peak of 3.6 million (measured in
full-time equivalents) in 1968, the size
of the armed forces declined steadily
to 3.2 million in 1970 and 2.2 million
in 1980. It increased 50,000 in 1981
and then by smaller amounts, reaching 2.3 million in 1983. Civilian employment declined from 1.1 million in
1968 to about 1.0 million in 1983.
While the share of real purchases allocated to compensation declined, the
shares allocated to durable goods and
to other services—that is, noncompenation services—increased and that allocated to nondurable goods changed
very little. Since 1976, the share of
nondurable goods fluctuated around
3.5 percent. Within nondurables, the
share of total purchases allocated to
ammunition increased. The 1983 am-

munition share—1.1 percent—equaled
the 1975 share, but was considerably
below that of the early 1970's. The
share allocated to structures, which
declined in the late 1970's, was 2.4
percent in 1983, about the same as in
1976.
The increase in the shares of durable goods and other services reflect
earlier decisions to modernize and increase the size of the inventory of
military equipment. The increase in
the share of other services also reflected those decisions; much of the
spending for these services, particularly for research and development
and for depot maintenance, was directly related to weapon systems.
Real purchases of other services increased at an average annual rate of
6 percent from 1976 to 1983, half
again as fast as total purchases. Research and development (R&D), the
largest category, declined steadily in
the mid-1970's as R&D appropriations

From 1976 to 1983, real purchases
of military equipment increased at an
average rate ofx 8 percent. Increases,
ranging from 3 /2 percent to over 15
percent, were registered every year
except in 1978. By 1983, equipment
purchases were 70 percent higher
than in 1976.
Each type of military equipment
purchased increased faster than total
purchases. The slowest increase was
for real purchases of aircraft, which
increased at an average annual rate
of 5 percent. This relatively slow rate
reflected the fact that a shift to a new
generation of aircraft began in the
early 1970's, before the current national defense buildup. For example,
the Navy began to take deliveries of
the F-14 in 1972, and the Air Force
began to take deliveries of the F-15 in
1974 and the E-3 in 1975. Since 1977,
the buildup has consisted of increased
production rates for all types of aircraft as well as new generations—the
B-l will replace the B-52 and the
KC-10 replaces the C-130. Aircraft
deliveries prior to 1979 were erratic,
reflecting uneven production funding.

were cut back; they increased moderately in 1978-79 and at an average
rate of 9 percent in 1980-83. Much of
the R&D increase since 1980 was associated with the cruise and MX missiles and the B-l bomber. The fastest
and most sustained increase was for
depot maintenance; purchases of
these services increased at an average
rate of 12 percent since 1976. Other
increases were associated with reducing a backlog of maintenance and
with repair of equipment and facilities.

14x/2 percent, real growth has been
continuous.
Real purchases of missiles increased
at an average annual rate of 7V2 percent. Prior to the buildup, purchases
of missiles declined significantly in
1975 and 1976, as the production of
various types of missiles—such as
Minuteman III, Poseidon, and Pershing—came to a halt. The recent
buildup has funded a new generation
of missiles, including the Patriot, Trident, MX, and cruise missiles. Since
1979, purchases of missiles have increased at an accelerating pace,
reaching 29x/2 percent in 1983.
Real purchases of ships also increased at an average annual rate of
7V2 percent. A naval buildup was underway prior to 1977, but was plagued
by declining labor productivity, contract disputes, changes in the number
and types of ships to be built, and a
number of other problems. In the
early 1980's, many of these problems
were resolved, particularly in regard
to submarines. Submarines were a
major contributor to large increases
in 1982 and in 1983.
Real purchases of vehicles, dominated by tanks, recorded the fastest
average annual rate of increase—16 %
percent. The inventory of M-60 tanks
had been run down to resupply Israel
in 1973. It was rebuilt in 1976-79,
when purchases of vehicles increased
at a rate of about 25 percent a year.
The M-l, the replacement for the M60, had some early production problems, and, as a result, purchases declined in 1980 and 1981. When these
production problems were resolved,
M-l deliveries surged in 1982 and
1983. Delivery of new Bradley fighting vehicle systems and a variety of
noncombat vehicles also contributed
to the recent large increases.

Conflicting Measures of Private Saving

THE two approaches used to measure the flow of private saving in the
United States often yield conflicting
estimates. One approach measures
the difference between income and
outlays during a year or a quarter,
summed over all persons and businesses. The other measures the
change in asset holdings minus liability holdings over a year or a quarter,
summed over all the forms in which
assets and liabilities can be held. BEA
employs the first approach in the national income and product accounts
(NIPA's). The Federal Reserve Board
employs the second approach, as well
as the first, in the flow of funds accounts (FOF's), showing differences
between the two approaches as discrepancies. The two approaches to
saving measurement will be referred
to as the "income-less-outlays" apCHART 4

proach xand the "change-in-assets" approach.
Conceptually, the two approaches
are equivalent. The reason is that
every dollar of income not used for
outlays must be used to increase holdings of some assets—for example, a
bank balance, a share of stock, or a
capital good—or to reduce holdings of
some liability.2 Actually, however, the
two approaches yield estimates that
have differed by tens of billions of dollars in some recent years, as chart 4
shows.3 These larger differences make
it difficult to draw any conclusions
about the size of the private saving
flow.
This article assesses the reliability
of the two measures in a number of
ways. The first section reviews annual
differences between saving measures—not just the differences for total
private saving shown in chart 4, but
also those for components of private
saving, for government saving, and
for rest-of-the-world saving. The section then discusses some possible
sources of the private saving differences—one related to unrecorded
international transactions, and others
related to understatement in several
1. A variant of the income-less-outlays approach can
be constructed by adding the statistical discrepancy in
the NIPA's to the income-less-outlays measure of private saving or to its personal component (see, for example, "The U.S. National Income and Product Accounts: Revised Estimates," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 62 (July 1982), pp. 16-17). Because this variant
does not differ appreciably from the income-less-outlays measure presented here, it will not be considered
further in this article.
2. A complication arises because changes in prices of
stocks, real estate, and other forms of existing wealth
can alter the market value of assets and liabilities. To
make the change-in-assets approach conceptually
equal to the income-less-outlays approach, these revaluations must be excluded.
3. The measures shown in chart 4, like those used
throughout this article, conform to NIPA definitions
of income and outlays. A chart based on FOF definitions would differ in level from chart 4. However, the
difference between the two measures would be the
same. For an analysis of the effect of different definitions on saving measures, see Derek W. Blades and
Peter H. Sturm, "The Concept and Measurement of
Saving: The United States and other Industrialized
Countries," in Savings and Government Policy, Conference Series, No. 25 (Boston: Federal Reserve Bank of
Boston, October 1982), pp. 1-30.

NIPA components. The second section
reviews quarterly measures of saving,
which are much more volatile than
annual measures. It then applies a recently developed statistical tool for
combining quarterly measures.4 Finally, it briefly examines the size of revisions in the quarterly estimates.
The summary section concludes
that, although it is not possible to
choose confidently between competing
measures of the level of private
saving, the income-less-outlays approach is more reliable than the
change-in-assets approach in tracking
recent changes.

I. Sources of Annual Saving
Gaps
Income-less-outlays estimates minus
change-in-assets estimates will be referred to as saving gaps. The NIPA
and FOF source tables used to derive
the two sets of estimates and the
saving gaps are shown in table 1.
The top panel of chart 5 shows
saving gaps expressed as a percentage
of trend GNP for major components
of private saving.5 Three observations
can be made about the gap for the
personal sector. First, it is the largest
gap. Second, it has generally been in
the same direction as the total private
saving gap, which is shown in the
bottom panel, but it has often been
larger. Third, part of the gap for the
personal sector has been offset by a
gap in the opposite direction for the
nonfinancial business sector. A plausible explanation of such a tendency to
offset is that total holdings of an asset

"A True Time-Series and Its Indicators," Journal of
the American Statistical Association 78 (March 1983),
pp. 37-46.
5. The GNP trend used in the presentation is the
"middle-expansion trend" described in Frank de
Leeuw and Thomas M. Holloway, "Cyclical Adjustment of the Federal Budget and Federal Debt,"
SURVEY 63 (December 1983): pp. 28-29. The reason for
dividing by trend GNP is that the resulting ratios
highlight differences in relation to the size of the
economy rather than as dollar amounts.

18
or a liability may be measured relatively accurately, but the amount
held by one sector may be misstated;
the misstatement in that sector will
then have to be offset by an opposite
misstatement in one or more other
sectors. For components of private
saving, estimates of personal holdings
often tend to offset errors in other
sectors because personal holdings are
estimated as a residual.
The bottom panel of chart 5 compares the gap for total private saving
with gaps for government saving—
that is, the surplus or deficit (—) of
State and local governments and of
the Federal government—and for
rest-of-the-world saving. Gaps for government saving fluctuate in a relatively narrow range. The gap for restof-the-world saving, however, is large
in recent years and in the opposite direction from the private saving gap.
The rest-of-the-world saving gap
The inverse relation between the
private and rest-of-the-world saving
gaps is an important clue to the
source of the private saving gap. Although the two gaps have not always
moved inversely, they have done so
during major swings since 1974. A key
to following this clue is the fact that
the gap for rest-of-the-world saving is
essentially the same as the statistical
discrepancy in the U.S. balance of
payments, with the sign reversed.6
Thus, the private saving gap and the
often-noted discrepancy in the U.S.
balance of payments may have a
common source.
The sources of the balance of payments discrepancy have been investigated by experts in measuring international transactions. There is widespread agreement that an important
source of this discrepancy is unrecorded international capital transactions.
One expert states that "the discrepancy is probably largely in the capital
accounts."7 Another concludes that
"it seems likely that much of the statistical discrepancy, and in particular
much of the large swings in the statistical discrepancy in the short run, is
the result of unrecorded capital flows,
motivated by a flight from economic
or political crises abroad, by exchange
rate expectations or by relatively at-

November 1984

It is thus likely that the private
saving gap arises, to an important
extent, because of misstatement of
foreign holdings of U.S. assets. As was
discussed earlier in the case of the relation between personal and nonfinancial business saving, when a total
is measured accurately, misstatement
in one sector implies an opposite misstatement in one or more other sectors. For the case at hand, this explanation implies that if total holdings of
U.S. assets are measured accurately
but foreign holdings are misstated, domestic holdings, which are estimated
as a residual, are also misstated. Accordingly, the change-in-assets measure of private saving is suspect.
Another possible source of the balance of payments discrepancy is misstatement of net exports. There are
several ways in which misstatement
of net exports could affect the incomeless-outlays measure of private
saving. The most direct way is if

there is misstatement of investment
income, which is part of income as
well as product.
Evidence on the role of misstatement of net exports is mixed. Arguing
for its importance is the fact that for
the world as a whole there is an unexplained discrepancy in net exports.
The discrepancy seems to be linked
partly to misstatement of investment
income and partly to misstatement of
other service transactions.10 Arguing
against the role of this kind of misstatement is the variability of the statistical discrepancy in the balance of
payments. If misstatement of service
transactions is the principal factor, it
is hard to explain the more extreme
yearly fluctuations in the discrepancy—for example, its sharp reduction
in 1983."
10. International Monetary Fund, World Economic
Outlook (May 1983), pp. 161-67.
11. Stekler, "Statistical Discrepancy," p. 8.

Thus, misstatement of international
transactions leads to a strong case for
suspecting the accuracy of the
change-in-assets measure of saving,
and to a weaker case for suspecting
the accuracy of the income-less-outlays measure.
Whichever components of the balance of payments are misstated, however, the magnitude of the balance of
payments discrepancy is not large
enough to account for the entire private saving gap. In 1981-83, for example, the private saving gap averaged
-1.1 percent of trend GNP, while the
balance of payments discrepancy
averaged 0.7 percent. It follows that
at least some of the saving gap must
be due to factors other than balance
of payments discrepancy.

lished income and expenditure aggregates.12 Examination of some of the
factors responsible for those revisions
provides clues as to possible sources of
the saving gap, even though the gap'
in 1977 is not one of the larger ones.
One important factor is underreported income on tax returns, due to the
underground economy. Some of the
impact of this understatement on private saving is offset, however, by
other revisions. Another factor is underestimated investment, revealed by
the newly available 1977 input-output
table. The revisions are summarized
in table 2.
The
underground
economy.—A
common hypothesis about the private
saving gap is that the income-less-outlays approach is suspect because of
the "underground economy"—that is,
of underreporting of economic activity
in order to evade taxes and government laws and regulations. The underground economy, it is alleged, is
imperfectly reflected in the NIPA's
and therefore has caused understatement of income and of saving measured by the income-less-outlays approach.
It is not clear that an underground
economy imperfectly reflected in the
NIPA's would necessarily cause understatement of private saving. Underground production not recorded in
the NIPA's could cause understatement of the outlay side of the accounts as well as the income side. "Informal" retail operations, for example, could easily result in unreported
consumer expenditures as well as unreported income. It is even possible
that some of the income from illegalsource transactions such as drug dealing appears in NIPA estimates because it is reported in "laundered"
form to tax authorities, although virtually all of the expenditure is excluded.13
Nevertheless, careful review of data
sources for the year 1977 suggests
that, at least in that year, the impact
of the underground economy on the
NIPA's was larger than previously estimated and that the understatement

of income was larger than that of outlays.14 Incomes were revised upward
by $57.8 billion, and personal consumption expenditures by only $21.6
billion. The difference between these
two estimates, $36.2 billion, is the revision of private saving in current
NIPA estimates for 1977 due to understatement of the underground
economy. This revision is offset in
part, as table 2 shows, by downward
revisions of $22.9 billion in private
saving due to other factors.
Estimates of understatement for
years other than 1977 are not yet
available. It seems likely, however,
that the activities understated in 1977
changed gradually rather than undergoing violent fluctuations and disappearing completely in some years.
The underground economy has probably contributed to a continuing understatement of income-less-outlays
estimates of saving, but not to the
large year-to-year swings in the difference between the income-less-outlays
and the change-in-assets measures.
Investment— Investment in equipment and structures forms one component of the change-in-assets measure of private saving. Revisions in investment estimates therefore directly
alter the change-in-assets measure.
Revisions in investment estimates do

not directly alter the income-less-outlays measure.15
The recently published new estimates of investment for 1977 indicate
an understatement of gross private
domestic investment of $12.6 billion.16 They suggest that, as far as
this component is concerned, the
change-in-assets measure is understated. Correction for this understatement alone would widen the gap between the two measures of private
saving.
Overall, the new NIPA estimates
have little effect on the private saving
gap for 1977; revisions in the incomeless-outlays estimates are roughly
offset by implied revisions in the
change-in-assets estimates. There is
not, however, a large saving gap to
explain in 1977. It is possible that
some of the factors underlying the
1977 revisions will help to explain the
large saving gaps of some more recent
years.

II. Quarterly Measures of
Private Saving
This section begins with a review of
quarterly saving gaps. It then applies
a recently developed statistical tool
for combining the quarterly measures. Finally, it analyses the size of
quarterly revisions in the two measures of saving.
Quarterly saving gaps
Quarterly measures of private
saving have exhibited the same broad
movements as annual measures, but
the quarterly measures have been
much more volatile. Chart 6 illustrates this volatility and suggests that
the change-in-assets measure has
been the more volatile of the two
quarterly measures.
Chart 7 shows that quarterly volatility has also characterized gaps for
the major components of private
saving and for rest-of-the-world
saving. Both the personal and nonfinancial business saving gaps, shown
in the top panel, have fluctuated
sharply and often in opposite directions. The rest-of-the-world saving
15. Revisions in investment must be accompanied by
revisions in one or more other items in the NIPA
saving and investment account. Although private
saving is one of these items, they also include net foreign investment, government saving, and the statistical discrepancy in the NIPA's.

gap, shown in the bottom panel, has
also been highly volatile in recent
years. The correlation coefficient between the private and the rest-of-theworld saving gaps, however, is much
smaller for the quarterly estimates
shown in chart 7 ( — 0.55) than for the
annual estimates shown in chart 5
(-0.76).
Chart 7 also shows that the quarterly private saving gap was highly
volatile long before the 1970's, when
the rest-of-the-world gap became
large. Quarterly volatility of private
saving is thus not associated with the
emergence of large statistical discrepancies in the U.S. balance of payments. Differences between the two
approaches in seasonal adjustment
and interpolation procedures probably
contribute to the volatility, but there
are no obvious clues in understanding
specific large increases or decreases in
quarterly gaps.

that can be applied to each of the two
estimates in order to construct a
weighted average more accurate than
either estimate alone.17
In the analysis of this section, the
two private saving estimates are each
expressed as deviations from the most
recent four-quarter average of its
ratio to trend GNP. This transformation largely eliminates the systematic
influences reflected in the annual estimates discussed earlier in this article and highlights the volatile quarter-to-quarter movements.
The analysis is based on the assumption that each of the two indicators—that is, the two saving-ratio deviations—depends on (a) true deviations of the saving ratio from its
four-quarter average and (b) random
variations. In mathematical terms,
this assumption may be stated as:
(1) S/YA=ai + bi S/YT+Ui
(2) S/YB=a,2 + b2 S/YT+U2

where S/YA and S/YB are the two
saving-ratio deviations, S/YT is the
true saving-ratio deviation, U\ and Uz
are random variations, and the a's
and b's are coefficients expressing the
relation, apart from random vari-

Relative weights for quarterly
measures
The volatility of quarterly saving
movements suggests that irregular or
random movements are important
components of the quarterly estimates. This section applies a technique for analyzing time series that
have significant random error. The
technique leads to relative weights

17. The analysis in this section follows the general
procedure described in de Leeuw and McKelvey, "A
True Time-Series." The details of the application to
quarterly saving ratios are not presented here; they
are available on request from the author, BEA, U.S.
Department of Commerce, Washington DC 20230.

ations, of each of the two indicators to
the true series.
It is intuitively plausible that the
relative weights for a weighted average of the two indicators should
depend on their average sensitivity to
true deviations from trend and on
their random variations. The coefficients 61 and 62 measure the average
sensitivity of each indicator to true
deviations; if one coefficient is very
close to zero, that indicator should receive very little weight. The terms U\
and Uz measure the noise in the two
indicators; if movements in one indicator consist largely of noise, that indicator should receive very little
weight.
The derivation of the precise formula for relative weights and of a statistical procedure for estimating the elements of the formula is not presented
in this article.18 Some of the critical
magnitudes used in applying the formula, however, are shown in table 3.
18. The formula for the weight for indicator "x" relative to indicator "y" is:
WK

(bx/by)(Sy/Sx)-r

Wy

(Sx/Sy)-r

where bx and by are the b coefficients in equations (1)
and (2), Sx and Sy are the standard deviations of the
two indicators, and r is the correlation coefficient between the indicators. It is derived by dividing equation
(2.2) by equation (2.3) in the de Leeuw and McKelvey,
"A True Time-Series," p. 39.

The relative standard deviations of
the two indicators are an important
determinant of their relative weights.
The table shows that the standard deviation of the income-less-outlays
measure is smaller than that of the
change-in-assets measure. The contrast between the two standard deviations is greatest for the 1953-73 subperiod, in which the income-less-outlays deviation is about one-half the
change-in-assets deviation. For the
1974:1-1984:1 subperiod, the incomeless-outlays deviation is only about 20
percent smaller than the change-inassets deviation. In spite of the greater similarity of standard deviations in
the second subperiod, however, the
correlation coefficient between the
two indicators is smaller in the
second subperiod than in the first.
The weight derivation procedure
applied to the 1953-73 subperiod
places nearly all of the weight on the
income-less-outlays approach; that approach receives 13.8 times the weight
of the change-in-assets approach in estimating current movements in the
saving ratio (relative to its most
recent four-quarter average). The
much higher standard deviation of
the change-in-assets approach is thus
interpreted as greater noise rather
than more sensitivity to movements
in the true saving ratio.
For the 1974:1-1984:1 subperiod, the
results are different. The income-lessoutlays measure still receives more
weight, but it receives only 2.2 times
as much weight as the change-inassets measure. This result is heavily
influenced by the standard deviations
of the two measures, which are much
closer to each other in the second subperiod than in the first. The results
suggest that for recent years, although the two measures should not
be weighted equally, neither should
be ignored in interpreting movements
in private saving.
Revisions
Data revisions have tended to be
larger for the change-in-assets measure than for the income-less-outlays
measure. In the first quarter after initial publication, estimates of the
change-in-assets measure were revised
by more than $5 billion (in either direction) 75 percent of the time in the
period 1975:11 to 1983:11, compared

with only 53 percent for the incomeless-outlays measure. In the second
quarter after initial publication, revisions greater than $5 billion occurred
71 percent of the time for the changein-assets measure and only 16 percent
of the time for the income-less-outlays
measure. In the third and subsequent
quarters after initial publication, cumulative revisions over $5 billion occurred 97 percent of the time for the
change-in-assets measure and 79 percent of the time for the income-lessoutlays measure.19 This article is
based on the latest estimates currently available.

III. Summary
Two measures of private saving in
the United States, the income-lessoutlays measure and the change-inassets measure, have differed by tens
of billions of dollars in recent years
(chart 4). The analysis in this article
suggests several conclusions about the
reliability of the two measures.
The most important conclusion is
that misstatement of international
transactions—the statistical discrepancy in the U.S. balance of payments—probably accounts for much
of the private saving gap, but not all
of it. Unrecorded capital transactions
are undoubtedly an important cause
of the statistical discrepancy, capable
of explaining some of the largest yearto-year fluctuations. The misstatement of capital transactions implies
that domestic asset holdings are misstated and therefore that the changein-assets measure of saving is suspect.
19. These percentages are based on the sum of
household and corporate saving as published in the
FOF's. That sum differs slightly from the private
saving concept used in the rest of this article, but it is
a sum for which estimates as of the same date for the
two approaches can readily be compared.

23
Unrecorded current transactions—
that is, exports and imports—may
also contribute to the statistical discrepancy, but they do not seem capable of explaining the year-to-year fluctuations. To the extent that these
transactions
are misstated, the
income-less-outlays measure of saving
may be suspect.
Two other contributors to the general level of the saving gap can be detected, but neither seems capable of
contributing much to the explanation
of the sharp year-to-year fluctuations.
One is the underground economy.
Recent estimates for 1977 indicate a
larger understatement in income than
in outlays and therefore imply understatement of the income-less-outlays
measure of saving. The other contributor is understatement of domestic investment. Recent estimates for 1977,
which indicate some understatement
of investment, imply that the changein-assets measure of saving is too low.
For 1977, these and other NIPA revisions have very little net effect on the
private saving gap. It remains to be
seen whether revisions for more
recent years will help to reduce the
large saving gaps that occur in some
of those years.
These conclusions do not lead to a
strong preference between the two
measures of the level of saving. They
do, however, suggest that for measurement of recent year-to-year
changes the income-less-outlays approach is probably more reliable, because the one factor that seems capable of accounting for these changes—
unrecorded
international
capital
transactions—implies
that
the
change-in-assets measure is in error.
Analysis of quarterly fluctuations
in saving reinforces the preference for
the income-less-outlays approach as
the better indicator of changes. A statistical procedure for choosing relative weights for the two approaches
assigns about twice as much weight to
the income-less-outlays approach as to
the change-in-assets approach for the
period from 1974 to date.
Overall, this article thus suggests
that, although it is not possible to
choose confidently between competing
measures of the level of private
saving, the income-less-outlays approach is more reliable in tracking
recent changes.

The following table contains BEA's latest estimates of selected data items for 1977-83 for
every country in which there was U.S. direct
investment.1 The article "U.S. Direct Investment Abroad in 1983," which appeared in the
August 1984 issue of the SURVEY, included esti-

mates for 1982-83 in less detail by country but
cross-classified by industry. Comparable country-by-industry estimates for years before 1982
may be found in the annual direct investment
articles that appeared in prior August issues of
the SURVEY.

1. U.S. direct investment abroad is the ownership or
control, directly or indirectly, by one U.S. person of 10
percent or more of the voting securities of an incorporated foreign business enterprise or an equivalent interest in an unincorporated foreign business enterprise.

of longterm shifts in the 1960's and 1970's with shifts
thus far in the 1980's. Except for 1983, the most recent
year for which BEA's detailed regional income estimates are available, the choice of years for the two
timespans is based on national business cycle peaks in
order to separate trend from cyclical changes. For purposes of shift analysis, the division of 1959-79 into two
timespans, using the peak year 1969 as the dividing
year, would not significantly change the findings of
this article.

2. TPI is the sum of wage and salary disbursements,
other labor income, proprietors' income, personal dividend income, personal interest income, rental income
of persons, and transfer payments, less personal contributions for social insurance. The first three components are the industrial components (that is, components for which industrial detail is available); together, they accounted for about 70 percent of U.S. TPI in
1983.

region to the overall shift. Positive
changes indicate gains in the region's
share of the U.S. total for the component, and negative changes indicate
losses in share.
Table 2 summarizes the changes by
regional group; it shows, for each
component and timespan, the percentage-point change in share of the U.S.
total for the component, for the southern and western regions as a group.
The negative of each entry in the
table (not shown) is the percentagepoint change in share for the northern and central regions (North) as a
group. The entries in table 2 thus can
be viewed as measures of the shift in
the share of the U.S. total for each
component from the North to the
South and West.
In 1959-79, the South and West
gained, and the North lost, shares in
most industrial components. The largest interregional shifts were in manufacturing, construction, and service
industries. In general, large manufacturing shifts reflected efforts by manufacturers to hold down production
and distribution costs. Wage rates,
energy and land costs, and State and
local taxes were lower in the South
and West than in the North, and improved highways and truck transportation gave the lower cost regions
competitive access to national markets. In addition, manufacturers
sought locations nearer rapidly growing southern and western regional
markets.3 Within manufacturing,
large shifts in apparel, textiles, and
plastics brought these industries
nearer to suppliers, such as the petrochemicals industry. Machinery industries that made apparel and textiles
equipment also had large shifts.
Large shifts in computing equipment,
electronic equipment, and scientific
instruments brought these industries
nearer to those that they supply, such

3. From 1959 to 1979, the share of U.S. population
accounted for by each southern and western region increased, and the share accounted for by each northern
and central region declined. The share accounted for
by the southern and western regions as a group increased from 43 to 49 percent.

tures, as well as to strong demand for
housing by persons who moved from
the North to the South and West.
Within service industries, large shifts
in business services in part were responses to strong demand for advertising, research and development, con-

sulting, and data processing services
by corporate management units that
moved from the North to the South
and West. Large shifts in hotels,
amusement-recreation services, and
eating-drinking places in part were
responses to large increases in the

mining, stone-glass manufacturing,
and real estate industries, in part
were responses to large increases in

NOTE.—The industrial components of total personal income are the industrial components of labor and proprietors' income.
The southern and western regions are the Southeast, Southwest, Far West, and Rocky Mountain, plus Alaska and Hawaii. The
inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii exhausts the total for the southern and western United States; this assures that each entry in the
table is equal to, but opposite in sign from, the percentage-point change in share for the northern and central regions (Plains,
New England, Great Lakes, and Mideast).




November 1984

average annual rates; locations near
the aircraft and related industries
became even more desirable in view
of the large national defense buildup
in the 1980's. Construction and the related sand-gravel mining and stoneglass manufacturing industries shifted at accelerating or equivalent average annual rates; demand for housing
in the South and West continued to
be strong, as population migration
from the North accelerated.4 In contrast, apparel and textiles shifted at
decelerating rates, in part reflecting a
narrowing of regional wage rate differentials and a reduced level of production in the North as a base from
which to shift. Business services shifted at a decelerating rate as well, as
some corporate management units
chose northern locations. Hotels and
amusement-recreation services shifted
at decelerating rates; demand for
these services by tourists and business
groups in northern metropolitan
areas strengthened, as the areas redeveloped their urban commercial centers.

Intraregional Aspects
Table 3 shows, for each industrial
component of TPI in each region and
timespan, the percentage-point difference between (1) the percent change
in regional TPI, including the component, and (2) the percent change in regional TPI, excluding the component.
This measure permits comparison, on
a consistent basis within each region,
of the relative contributions of each
component to the percent change in
TPI. A positive difference indicates
that a component has a stimulating
effect on the change in TPI; that is,
the change in TPI is larger with the
component than without it. A negative difference indicates that a component has a retarding effect on the
change in TPI; that is, the change in
TPI is smaller with the component
than without it. In this article, an industrial component is referred to as a
"major factor" in the change in TPI if
it has either (1) a stimulating effect in
a region that gains a share of U.S.
TPI, or (2) a retarding effect in a
region that loses a share of U.S. TPI.
Discussions of the major factors for
4. From 1979 to 1983, the share of U.S. population
accounted for by each southern and western region increased at an accelerating average annual rate, and
the share accounted for by each northern and central
region except the Plains declined at an accelerating
rate. The share accounted for by the southern and
western regions as a group increased from 49 to 51
percent.

each region and timespan follow. The
regions are discussed in descending
order, based on the percentage-point
change in share of U.S. TPI, 1959-79.
Southeast
In 1959-79, durables manufacturing
industries were major factors that
stimulated TPI growth; by 1979, the
share of the region's total manufacturing income that was accounted for
by durables manufacturing was
nearly as large as the historically
large share attributable to nondurables manufacturing. Among durables
manufacturing industries, machinery
and instruments were major factors;
these industries supplied capital
equipment to the region's textiles, apparel, food processing, and paper industries. Machinery and instruments
also supplied inputs to defense-related
industries, which grew rapidly in the
Southeast. The motor vehicles industry, along with related industries,
such as rubber tires and fabricated
metal forgings-stampings, was a
major factor, as some motor vehicles
manufacturers from the Great Lakes
region chose lower cost locations in
nearby Southeast States. Among nonmanufacturing industries, truckingwarehousing and transportation services were major factors, reflecting
substantial improvement in both the
region's interstate highway network
and its relative market size. In addition, eating-drinking places, amusement-recreation services, hotels, and
museums were major factors, in part
reflecting a large increase in the
number of tourists to the Southeast.
The health services industry also was
a major factor, reflecting rapid
growth in the region's population, in
particular, in the number of retirees
who migrated to Florida.
In 1979-83, nonmanufacturing industries continued to be major factors
that stimulated TPI growth. Reflecting the region's continuing attractiveness to tourists, eating-drinking
places, amusement-recreation services, and museums again were major
factors,
and air
transportation
became a major factor. The health
services industry again was a major
factor, reflecting the region's continuing rapid population growth.
Southwest
In 1959-79, manufacturing industries that supplied capital equipment



SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
for the mining, refining, and transportation of oil and gas, as well as
manufacturing industries that used
refined oil and gas products as inputs,
were major factors that stimulated
TPI growth. The machinery and instruments industries were major factors, as they responded to strong
demand for oil field, oil refining, and
pipeline equipment. The fabricated
metals industry, which supplied pipes
and valves for oil refining, also was a
major factor. In addition, the petrochemicals industry was a major
factor; it benefited from the accessibility of large supplies of refined oil and
gas products. Among nonmanufacturing industries, both business and legal
services were major factors, in part
reflecting strong demand for these
services by corporate management
units that moved to the Southwest
from the Mideast.
In 1979-83, the machinery and instruments industries continued to be
major factors that stimulated TPI
growth. These industries responded to
the capital equipment needs of the
national defense buildup. In addition,
early in the timespan, these industries continued to respond to strong
demand for oil field equipment; later
in the timespan, however, demand
weakened, as oil exploration declined
in the face of falling oil prices. In
1979-83, among nonmanufacturing industries, hotels, amusement-recreation services, and museums became
major factors, in part reflecting a
large increase in the number of tourists.
Far West
In 1959-79, industries that manufactured
advanced
technological
equipment, as well as related nonmanufacturing industries, were major
factors that stimulated TPI growth.
The scientific instruments, computing
equipment, electronic equipment, and
plastics industries were major factors;
these industries supplied inputs to the
aircraft and aerospace industries,
which had grown rapidly in the Far
West during and after World War II.
In turn, the educational services industry, which was a source of innovation and know-how for the advanced
technological industries, was a major
factor; major universities, such as the
California Institute of Technology and
Stanford, provided educational services. The business services industry
was a major factor; it supplied data
processing and consulting services to
the advanced technological industries.

Among other industries, air transportation, hotels, amusement-recreation
services, and museums were major
factors, in part reflecting a large increase in the number of tourists. The
health services industry also was a
major factor, supplying services to the
region's rapidly growing population,
in particular, the large number of retirees who migrated to California.
In 1979-83, reflecting the national
defense buildup, scientific instruments and electronic equipment, as
well as the related educational and
business services industries, continued to be major factors that stimulated TPI growth. Also reflecting the
buildup, the Federal military became
a major factor. Petroleum refining
became a major factor; the region's
refineries gained access to large supplies of Alaskan oil. The health services industry again was a major
factor, reflecting the region's continuing rapid population growth.
Rocky Mountain
In 1959-79, industries that expanded in response to an increase in the
Nation's demand for domestically produced sources of energy were major
factors that stimulated TPI growth,
especially after 1973. Oil-gas mining
and coal mining were major factors.
Machinery and instruments were
major factors, in part reflecting the
production of oil field and other
mining equipment. Among other industries, heavy construction, along
with industries that supply it, such as
sand-gravel mining and stone-glass
manufacturing, was a major factor, as
highway construction spurted in the
region. In addition, both business and
legal services, banking, and other
credit agencies were major factors, reflecting the increasing role of the
Denver metropolitan area as a supplier of these services to the Rocky
Mountain region.
In 1979-83, oil-gas mining and the
manufacturing of oil field machinery
and instruments continued to be
major factors that stimulated TPI
growth. Most of the stimulus occurred
early in the timespan; later, oil exploration declined in the face of falling
oil prices. The manufacturing of other
advanced technological machinery
and instruments also became a major
factor, as the region continued its
rapid industrialization. In part reflecting the national defense buildup,
transportation
equipment (except
motor vehicles) and the Federal military became major factors.

ties for farm employment, farming
and related nondurables manufacturing industries and nonmanufacturing
industries were major factors that re-

tarded TPI growth. Within nondurables manufacturing, the food processing, leather, and agricultural chemicals industries were major factors.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Among nonmanufacturing industries,
general building and related sandgravel mining were major factors, in
part reflecting reduced demand for

33

farm structures. Brokerage services
for farm commodities, as well as the
retailing and repairing of farm equipment, also were major factors.

In 1979-83, farming and related industries continued to be major factors
that retarded TPI growth. In manufacturing, food processing, leather,

NOTE.—The industrial components of TPI are the industrial components of labor and proprietors' income. The regions are ranked in descending order by the percentage-point change in share of
U.S. TPI, 1959-79 (see table 1). The regions exclude Alaska and Hawaii.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

and agricultural chemicals continued
to be major factors, and the production of farm equipment became a
major factor. Outside manufacturing,
the wholesaling and trucking of agricultural commodities became major
factors, and the retailing and repairing of farm equipment continued to
be major factors.

of transportation equipment were
major factors that retarded TPI
growth. The primary metals, fabricated metals, and machinery industries
were major factors; these industries
supplied inputs to the motor vehicles
industry, which grew less rapidly in
the Great Lakes than in most other
regions. The railroad equipment industry also was a major factor; increasingly, airplanes and trucks were
meeting the Nation's demand for
public passenger and freight transportation, respectively. Among nonmanufacturing industries, construction and
related sand-gravel mining were
major factors; demand for industrial
and residential structures weakened,
as both manufacturing firms and
workers relocated to the South and
West. Retail trade industries also
were major factors, in part reflecting
slow growth in personal consumption
expenditures as a result of population
outmigration.

New England

In 1959-79, industries that manufactured nondurable consumer goods,
as well as related industries, were
major factors that retarded TPI
growth. The textiles, leather, and apparel industries were major factors;
responding, in part, to increased foreign competition, these industries developed production processes that required larger production sites and a
larger supply of unskilled labor than
New England could provide. The nonelectrical machinery industry, which
supplied capital equipment to the
nondurable consumer goods industries, also was a major factor. Among
nonmanufacturing industries, domestic services provided to private households were a major factor. The Federal military also was a major factor, in
part reflecting large reductions in
naval operations in Rhode Island in
the 1970's.
After declining in 1959-79, the
share of U.S. TPI accounted for by
New England increased in 1979-83.
Industries that manufactured advanced technological equipment were
major factors that stimulated TPI
growth. The electronic equipment and
scientific instruments industries benefited from scientific innovations developed at major universities, such as
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard. Business services, which provided data processing
and consulting services to the advanced technological industries, also
was a major factor. Among other industries, insurance was a major
factor, reflecting a resurgence in New
England's longstanding role of providing this service to other regions.
Great Lakes

In 1959-79, durables manufacturing
industries relating to the production




In 1979-83, as domestic motor vehicle production declined in the face of
strong foreign competition, high interest rates, and economic recession,
transportation equipment and supplier industries continued to be major
factors that retarded TPI growth.
Among supplier industries, primary
metals, fabricated metals, and machinery continued to be major factors,
and rubber tire manufacturing
became a major factor. Among other
industries, construction and retail
trade continued to be major factors,
as a decline in Great Lakes population dampened the demand for housing and consumer goods. No other
region had a population decline.

Mideast

In 1959-79, mining and related
manufacturing industries were major
factors that retarded TPI growth.
Coal mining was a major factor, reflecting the continued displacement of
coal by oil as an energy source. The
nonelectrical machinery industry,
which manufactured coal mining
equipment, was a major factor. The
primary metals industry was a major

November 1984

factor; new steel producers tended to
locate "minimills," which use production processes that are scrap metal-intensive and coal-saving, near rapidly
growing markets in the South and
West, at the expense of traditional
production sites in the Mideast, The
chemicals industry also was a major
factor; the use of oil instead of coal as
an input encouraged manufacturers
of industrial chemicals to locate petrochemicals plants near Southwest
oil and gas fields. The apparel industry was a major factor, in part because the increased use of synthetic
fibers encouraged apparel manufacturers to choose sites near petrochemicals suppliers, and in part because
the manufacturers chose sites with
lower labor and distribution costs.
Among nonmanufacturing industries,
railroad transportation was a major
factor, in part reflecting a decline in
the volume of coal traffic. Wholesale
trade was a major factor, in part reflecting the decline of the New York
metropolitan area, relative to southern and western areas like Miami and
Los Angeles, as a center for international trade.
After declining in 1959-79, the
share of U.S. TPI accounted for by
the Mideast increased in 1979-83. Financial, business, and other services
were major factors that stimulated
TPI growth; rapid increases in service
industries tended to offset slow
growth or declines in the production
of many types of manufactured goods.
Banking, security-commodity brokers,
and insurance were major factors, reflecting the revitalized role of the
New York metropolitan area as a supplier of these services to other regions. Business and legal services
were major factors; these industries
met a strong demand for advertising,
consulting, and related services by
corporate management units, some of
which located in the Mideast in 197983. Hotels,
amusement-recreation
services, and museums were major
factors; the redevelopment of urban
commercial centers in New York,
Philadelphia, and Baltimore, as well
as the construction of casinos in Atlantic City, encouraged increased
tourism and business travel.

M3.—This measure equals M2 plus large-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of $100,000 or more) at all depository institutions (including negotiable CD's) plus
term RP's issued by commercial banks and savings and loan associations.
L—This broad measure of liquid assets equals M3 plus other liquid assets consisting of
other Eurodollar holdings of U.S. nonbank residents, bankers acceptances, commercial
paper, savings bonds, and marketable liquid Treasury obligations.
t$ Includes ATS and NOW balances at all depository institutions, credit union share
