As this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS went toquarterly estimates for 1988:1-1991:111 in the redesigned taJpress, BEA released results of a comprehensive revision of ble format described in the October 1991 SURVEY. Another set
the national income and product accounts (NIPA's). The text of tables, the "Summary National Income and Product Sefrom the December 4, 1991, news release that presented the ries," presents revised annual and quarterly estimates back
revised NIPA estimates for the third quarter of 1991 and to 1959 beginning on page 35. The revised estimates have not
introducedfoecomprehensive revision is reproduced below.been incorporated elsewhere in this issue; in particular, the
NIPA series that appear in the "Business Cycle Indicators"
The "Selected NIPA Tables'' beginning on page 6 presents the
revised annual estimates for 1987-90 and the revised section have not been updated from last month's issue.

Gross Domestic Product
Real gross domestic product—the nation's output of goods
and services—increased at an annual rate of 1.7 percent,
or $20.3 billion, in the third quarter of 1991, according to
the preliminary estimate released by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the second
quarter, real GDP increased 1.4 percent, or $16.7 billion.
Real personal consumption expenditures increased $18.2
billion in the third quarter, compared with an increase
of $11.3 billion in the second. Durable goods purchases
increased $9.3 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $1.9 billion. Nondurable goods purchases increased $1.9 billion,
compared with an increase of $2.3 billion. Services expenditures increased $7.1 billion, compared with an increase of
$10.9 billion.
NOTE.—Quarterly estimates are expressed, unless otherwise
seasonally adjusted annual rates. Quarter-to-quarter dollar

Revision of the
National Income and Product Accounts
This release introduces a comprehensive revision of the national
income and product accounts. The revision is summarized beginning
on page 2. The availability of revised estimates and of additional
information about the revision is described in a box on page 3.
Two of the major changes incorporated in the revision are a shift
to use of gross domestic product (GDP), rather than gross national
product (GNP)» as the primary measure of production and a shift in
the base period from 1982 to 1987. In the third quarter of 1991, the
effects of these changes are shown by the following comparisons: Revised GDP increased 1.7 percent (annual rate) in 1987 dollars, and a
calculation of GDP in 1982 dollars but incorporating all other changes
increased 1.9 percent; revised GNP increased 2.0 percent in 1987 dollars, and a calculation of GNP in 1982 dollars but incorporating all
other changes increased 2.2 percent.




Real nonresidential fixed investment decreased $4.6 billion in the third quarter, compared with a decrease of $4.3
billion in the second. Nonresidential structures decreased
$10.2 billion, compared with a decrease of $4.4 billion. Producers' durable equipment purchases increased $5.7 billion,
compared with no change. Real residentialfixedinvestment
increased $4.9 billion, compared with an increase of $1.3
billion.
Real net exports of goods and services decreased $20.0 billion in the third quarter, in contrast to an increase of $6.3
billion in the second. Exports increased $8.4 billion, compared with an increase of $23.2 billion. Imports increased
$28.4 billion, compared with an increase of $16.9 billion.
Real Federal Government purchases decreased $8.6 billion in the third quarter, in contrast to an increase of $1.0
billion in the second. National defense purchases decreased
$7.0 billion, compared with a decrease of $2.4 billion. Nondefense purchases decreased $1.5 billion, in contrast to
an increase of $3.4 billion. Real State and local government purchases decreased $0.7 billion in the third quarter,
compared with a decrease of $1.0 billion in the second.
Realfinalsales of domestic product, the sum of the above
expenditure components, decreased 0.9 percent, or $10.6
billion, in the third quarter, in contrast to a increase of 1.2
percent, or $14.4 billion, in the second.
The real change in business inventories added $30.8 billion to the third-quarter change in real GDP, after adding
$2.4 billion to the second-quarter change. Businesses
increased inventories $0.4 billion in the third quarter, following decreases of $30.4 billion in the second, and $32.8
billion in the first. Nonfarm businesses reduced inventories
$2.5 billion in the third quarter, $30.7 billion in the second,
and $32.4 billion in the first. Farm businesses increased
inventories $2.9 billion in the third quarter, following an
increase of $0.4 billion in the second and a decrease of $1.7
billion in the first.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Gross domestic purchases
Real gross domestic purchases—the nation's purchases
of goods and services—increased 3.4 percent, or $44.4 billion, in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 0.9
percent, or $14.5 billion, in the second.
Current-dollar GDP
Current-dollar GDP—the market value of the nation's
output of goods and services—increased 3.9 percent, or
$54.8 billion, in the third quarter. In the second quarter,
current-dollar GDP increased 4.6 percent, or $63.6 billion.
Price indexes
Price indexes with fixed 1987 weights will not be available until the release of the final estimate of the third
quarter GDP on December 20.

Corporate Profits
Profits from current production (profits before tax with
inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments)
increased $0.4 billion in the third quarter, according to
preliminary estimates. In the second quarter, profits increased $1.4 billion. Current-production cash flow (net
cashflowwith inventory valuation and capital consumption
adjustments)—the internal funds available to corporations
for investment—decreased $2.7 billion in the third quarter,
in contrast to an increase of $1.4 billion in the second.

Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations decreased
$3.6 billion in the third quarter, in contrast to an increase
of $12.0 billion in the second. Domestic profits of financial corporations increased $1.4 billion in the third quarter,
compared with an increase of $2.2 billion in the second.
The foreign component of profits increased $2.6 billion
in the third quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $12.9
billion in the second. This component measures receipts
by U.S. residents of dividends and reinvested earnings of
foreign affiliates of U.S. corporations, less corresponding
payments to foreign residents. The third-quarter increase
was in receipts. In the second quarter, the decrease was
also accounted for by receipts.
Profits before tax with inventory valuation adjustment is
the best available measure of industry profits because estimates of the capital consumption adjustment by industry
do not exist. According to this measure, profits decreased
in manufacturing, in trade, and in the transportation and
public utilities group. Profits in other nonmanufacturing
industries increased.
Profits before tax increased $11.4 billion in the third
quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $2.9 billion in the




November 1991

second. The before-tax measure of profits does not reflect, as does profits from current production, the capital
consumption and inventory valuation adjustments; these
adjustments convert depreciation and inventories reported
by business to those used in the national income and
product accounts. The capital consumption adjustment increased $4.0 billion in the third quarter (from -$12.6 billion
to -$8.6 billion), compared with an increase of $1.0 billion in the second. The inventory valuation adjustment
decreased $15.1 billion (from $9.9 billion to -$5.2 billion),
in contrast to an increase of $3.2 billion.
Profits tax liability increased $4.2 billion in the third
quarter, compared with an increase of $4.1 billion in the
second. Profits after tax increased $7.2 billion, in contrast
to a decrease of $7.0 billion. Dividends increased $1.4 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $1.1 billion; undistributed
profits increased $5.7 billion, in contrast to a decrease of
$5.8 billion.

Comprehensive Revision of the National
Income and Product Accounts
The national income and product account (NIPA) estimates released today reflect the results of the ninth
comprehensive, or benchmark, revision of the accounts;
the last revision of this type was completed in December
1985. Comprehensive revisions differ from annual NIPA
revisions because of the scope of the changes incorporated
and because of the number of years subject to revision.
Comprehensive revisions incorporate three kinds of
changes: Definitional and classificational changes, statistical changes, and new and redesigned tables. Definitional
and classificational changes update the accounts to reflect
the evolving U.S. economy. Statistical changes update
the accounts to reflect shifts in the base period, the incorporation of newly available and revised source data,
and the introduction of new and improved estimating
procedures. The new and redesigned tables update the
presentation of the NIPA's to reflect definitional, classificational, and statistical changes and to make the tables more
informative.
In this revision, most current-dollar series are revised
from the present back to 1978, and many are revised back
to earlier years. All constant-dollar series will be revised
back to 1929 to reflect a shift in the base period from 1982
to 1987. The tables in this release provide revised annual
estimates beginning with 1977 and quarterly estimates beginning with 1988 for major series. For information about
the availability of additional estimates, see the box on page
The tables in this release reflect two major changes in
presentation. First, gross domestic product (GDP) replaces
gross national product (GNP) as the featured measure of
production. GDP is the appropriate measure for most
short-term monitoring and analysis of the U.S. economy;
it is consistent with indicators such as employment. This
change also affects other series shown in this release. Net
exports of goods and services is redefined to exclude net
receipts of factor income from the rest of the world. (Exports of goods and services is redefined to exclude receipts of
these incomes by U.S. residents, and imports of goods and
services is redefined to exclude payments of these incomes
to nonresidents.) Consistent with the redefinition of net exports of goods and services, final sales, which is now titled

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

November 1991

"final sales of domestic product," is redefined to exclude net
receipts of factor income. (Estimates of GNP will continue
to be shown in the release. For the most recent quarter,
they will be available at the same time as estimates of
corporate profits.) In the second change in presentation,
the gross domestic purchases price index replaces the GNP
price index as the featured measure of price change. The
purchases index measures prices paid by U.S. residents.
(Price indexes will not be available until the release of the
final estimate of third quarter 1991 on December 20.)
The revisions
Real GDP.—For 1977-90, the average annual growth
rate of real GDP, now measured using 1987 as the base
period, is 2.5 percent, 0.2 percentage point lower than in
the previously published estimates, which were measured
using 1982 as the base period (table 1). (For real GNP,
the average annual growth rate was also revised down 0.2
percentage point to 2.5 percent.)
Among the major components of GDP, the revised estimates show smaller growth rates of personal consumption
expenditures, nonresidential producers' durable equipment
(PDE), residential fixed investment, exports, and Federal
Government purchases. The growth rates of nonresidential
PDE and exports are reduced the most. Residential fixed
investment, which increased from 1977 to 1990 in the previously published estimates, declines slightly in the revised
estimates. Among the major components that show higher
growth rates, nonresidential structures has the largest
upward revision.
For the GDP and most of its major components, the shift
in the base period from 1982 to 1987 more than accounts for
the lower growth rates. Base period shifts generally reduce
growth rates. Purchasers tend to shift to goods and services
that register the smallest increases in prices. Thus, when
real GDP is estimated using more recent prices, the goods

and services with strong output growth receive less weight
and growth in GDP is reduced.
Current-dollar GDP and personal income.—For currentdollar GDP, the average annual growth rate for 1977-90, at
8.2 percent, is 0.1 percentage point higher than in the previously published estimates. (The revision in GNP is the
same.) The growth rate of personal income, at 8.6 percent,
is 0.1 percentage point higher than previously published;
the growth rate for disposable personal income, also at
8.6 percent, is 0.2 percentage point higher than previously
published.
Personal saving rate.—For 1977-90, the personal saving
rate is revised up in all years except 1977,1978, and 1989.
The largest upward revisions were from 1980 to 1987, when
the personal saving rate is about I.V2 percentage points
higher in each year. The revised estimates continue to show
a sharp drop in the saving rate in the 1980's, from a high
of 8.8 percent in 1981 to a low of 4.4 percent in 1987. The
previously published estimates had shown a high of 7.5 percent in 1981 and a low of 2.9 percent in 1987. Since 1987,
the revised rate increases to 5.1 percent in 1990; in the
previously published estimates, the rate increased to 4.6
percent in 1990.
Business cycles.—For the most recent expansion, which
began in the third quarter of 1982 and ended in the third
quarter of 1990, real GDP shows an average annual increase of 3.4 percent, 0.3 percentage point lower than in
the previously published estimates. Among the major components, the revised estimates show lower growth rates
of nonresidential PDE, residential fixed investment, exports, and Federal Government purchases. From the third
quarter of 1990 to the third quarter of 1991, real GDP is
down 0.9 percent, 0.3 percentage point more than in the
previously published estimates.

Major sources of the revision

The revisions in the NIPA estimates released today reflect the incorporation of definitional and classificational as
well as statistical changes. The revisions to current-dollar
GDP and to personal income and its disposition are shown
in table 2.
Definitional and classificational changes update the accounts to reflect the evolving U.S. economy. In this comprehensive revision, these changes can be grouped into the
following four types: (1) Treatment of government receipts;
(2) treatment of business incomes and expenses; (3) treatment of international transactions; and (4) classification of
government agencies.
Statistical changes update the accounts by incorporating
five types of changes: (1) A shift of the base period (from
1982 to 1987); (2) the incorporation of new estimating procedures; (3) the use of new and revised data from regularly

November 1991

used sources that become available less often than annually; (4) the use of new and revised data from regularly
used sources that are usually incorporated at the time of
the annual July NIPA revisions, and (5) the introduction of
updated seasonal factors for quarterly estimates. The first
change, the base-period shift, affects the constant-dollar estimates for all years, as noted earlier in this release. The
second and third changes affect the current- and constantdollar estimates for all years. The fourth change affects
the current- and constant-dollar estimates for the 3 most
recent years.
GDP is revised up in all years, with the largest revision,
1.7 percent, in 1990. The definitional and classificational
changes account for a small share of these revisions. Their
largest contribution, about one-fifth of the total revision,
is in 1986. The changes with the largest impact on GDP
(and the components affected) are the reclassification of
government agencies from government enterprises to gen-

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

eral government agencies (Federal Government nondefense
purchases), the capitalization of monetary interest on ownaccount construction (nonresidential structures), and the
change in imputed brokerage charges (personal consumption expenditures (PCE) and State and local government
purchases).
Three definitional and classificational changes have very
little effect on GDP because their impacts on components
are largely offsetting. (1) The change that redefines government sales and personal nontaxes reduces government purchases, mainly for State and local government, by receipts
by government (primarily university tuition payments and
charges for medical care) and raises PCE services by the
amounts paid by persons. (2) The change that reclassifies
farm commodity loans by the Commodity Credit Corporation reduces Federal Government nondefense purchases
and increases the change in farm inventories in periods
when the loans are disbursed (and has the opposite effects
if the loans are defaulted). (3) The change that introduces
recording of payments for services provided by direct investors to their foreign affiliates on a gross basis increases
exports and imports by equal amounts.
The impact of the definitional and classificational
changes on GNP is substantially different than on GDP.
The main reason is that the change that reclassifies interest
paid by the Federal Government to foreigners as an import
of factor income reduces GNP but has no impact on GDP.
Statistical changes account for most of the revisions in
current-dollar GDP and GNP. The changes that had the
largest impact are as follows:
1. A new procedure for estimating nonresidential structures—both privately owned and owned by State and
local government—accounts for virtually all of the revision in GDP in 1977, more than accounts for the
revision in 1982, accounts for about five-sixths of the
revision in 1987, and accounts for about three-fifths of
the revision in 1990. The new procedure introduces
information from the 1977 and 1982 Censuses of Construction and Service Industries to adjust the results
of the monthly construction put-in-place survey. This
procedure was introduced into the 1982 benchmark
input-output (I-O) accounts published by BEA in July
1991.
2. The remaining upward revisions for 1983-90 are
largely accounted for by PCE services, producers'
durable equipment (PDE), and PCE nondurable goods.
Revisions to all three components reflect the incorporation of the results of the 1982 1-0 accounts and of
the 1987 economic censuses. In addition, the revisions
to PDE reflect the incorporation of the 1988 and 1989
Annual Survey of Manufactures, and the revisions to
PCE nondurable goods reflect the incorporation of the
1988 and 1989 Annual Retail Trade Survey.
Personal income is revised up in all years except for small
downward revisions in 1977, 1978, and 1989; the largest
upward revision, 1.8 percent, is in 1986. For personal income, the definitional and classificational changes and the
statistical changes work in the opposite direction in most
years. The former lower personal income in most years; the
latter raise personal income in all years except 1977 and
1978.
The definitional and classificational changes have their
greatest impact in 1986, when they account for about one-




fifth of the 1.8 percent upward revision in personal income.
The change that classifies capital gains distributions of
regulated investment companies as dividends more than
accounts for the impact. For every year after 1986, the definitional and classificational changes lower personal income.
This reversal reflects a substantial reduction in the capital gains distributions and the impact of the change that
reclassifies bad debt losses as financial transactions. This
reclassification eliminates the adjustment previously made
to recognize a transfer of income from the lender to the
defaulter; it reduces nonfarm proprietors' income, rental income of persons, and transfer payments to persons. Loan
defaults increased substantially in 1987.
Statistical changes increase personal income in all years
beginning in 1979, more than accounting for the revisions
in personal income. From 1979 to 1989, the changes that
had the greatest impact were improved adjustments for
misreporting on tax returns that are used in estimating
nonfarm proprietors' income and wages and salaries. The
revised adjustments reflect the complete incorporation of
audit studies that are conducted less often than annually.
In 1990, the upward revision in personal income also reflects the incorporation of newly available tabulations of
wages and salaries covered by State unemployment insurance. Other statistical changes substantially affected the
following components:
1. Other labor income is revised up beginning in 1988
primarily reflecting new source data on employer contributions to group health insurance from several
government agencies.
2. Farm proprietors' income is revised down in all years
primarily reflecting a new estimating methodology for
imputed rental income of owner-occupants of farm
dwellings.
3. Rental income of persons is revised up from 1977 to
1985 and revised down beginning in 1986. The upward
revisions primarily reflect lower estimates of expenses
from the 1982 1-0 accounts; the downward revisions
primarily reflect lower rental receipts and higher interest expenses. The lower receipts are based on data
from the 1990 Census of Housing; the higher interest expenses are based on an improved procedure for
refinanced mortgages.
4. Personal interest income is revised up substantially
beginning in 1984. Changes that account for most of
these revisions are related to improved procedures for
using data reported on business income tax returns and
to the incorporation of regularly used sources that are
usually incorporated at the time of the annual NIPA
revision.
The revisions to the other entries in the personal income
and outlay account—personal tax and nontax payments,
disposable personal income, personal outlays, and personal
saving—primarily reflect previously discussed revisions.
Revisions to the first three entries largely reflect the impact
of the definitional change that redefines certain nontaxes
as government sales. Because the impact of the redefinition is offsetting in personal saving (that is, disposable
personal income less personal outlays), revisions to this entry primarily reflect the impact of the revisions to personal
income.

Nonfarm inventories to final sales
Nonfarm inventories to final sales of goods and structures

1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventories calculated from
current-dollar inventories in this table is not the current-dollar change in business inventories (CBI) component
of GDP. The former is the difference between two inventory stocks, each valued at their respective end-ofquarter prices. The latter is the change in the physical volume of inventories valued at average prices of the
quarter. In addition, changes calculated from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual
rates.

2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Final sales of domestic business equals final sales of domestic product
less gross product of households and institutions and general government and includes a small amount of final
sales by farm,

NOTE.—The quantity and price indexes in this table are calculated from weighted averages of the detailed
output and prices used to prepare each aggregate and component. The fixed weighted measures use as weights
the composition of output in 1987. The chain-type indexes with annual weights use weights for the preceding

1989

1988

and current years. The indexes with benchmark- years weights use weights of 1959, 1963, 1967, 1972, 1977,
1982, and 1987 and the most recent year. Percent changes from preceding period for selected items in this
table are shown in table 8.1.

NOTE.—Except for disposable personal income, the quantity and price indexes in this table are calculated
from weighted averages of the detailed output and prices used to prepare each aggregate and component. The
fixed weighted measures use as weights the composition of output in 1987. The chain-type indexes with annual

weights use weights for the preceding and current years. The indexes with benchmark- years weights use
weights of 1959, 1963, 1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, and 1987 and the most recent year.

the economy entered a recession in

United States. Sales of imported cars and trucks consist
of vehicles manufactured outside North America and
sold in the United States.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

the third quarter of 1990; as indicated in chart 1, downturns in vehicle
sales usually precede recessions. Many
of the general factors usually associated with consumer expenditures for
durable goods weakened throughout
1989-91. Growth in real disposable
personal income (DPI) slowed to 3 percent in 1989 and to 1V2 percent in 1990,
and real DPI declined lk percent in
1991. The unemployment rate, which
had declined in each yearfrom1984
to 1989, increased slightly in 1990
and sharply in 1991. The Index of
Consumer Sentiment (prepared by the
University of Michigan's Survey Research Center) fell 5 percent in 1990
and 14 percent in 1991, to its lowest
level since 1982.
Several, factors specific to the motor
vehicle market continued to dampen
motor vehicle sales in 1991. First, owners are keeping their vehicles longer;
the average age of cars on the road
(estimated by the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association) climbed to 7.8
years—the highest level since 1950—
in 1990, the most recent year for which
data are available. Second, interest
rates on new-car loans were generally
higher in 1989-91 (chart 2). For example, interest rates on loans made
by auto finance companies averaged 12
percent in 1988, 12x/2 percent in 1989
and in 1990, and 13 percent in 1991.
Third, larger downpayments for newcar loans have been required in recent
years. For new-car loans made by auto
finance companies, the ratio of the average value of loans to the value of cars

3. BEA derives the average expenditure per new car
by using each model's suggested retail price (adjusted
for options, discounts or premiums, and sales taxes)
weighted by each model's share of sales. Movements in
the BEA measure differ from movements in the newcars component of the CPI primarily because the CPI,
unlike the BEA measure, is adjusted to remove the influence of quality change on prices and because the BEA
measure, unlike the CPI, reflects changes in the mix of
models sold and includes cars sold to businesses.

program choices. In addition, manufacturers offered favorable marketing
programs for fleet sales to businesses. 4
Under these programs, manufacturers agreed to repurchase fleet cars
that meet certain age and mileage
requirements. Fleet-sales programs
offered in model year 1991 had low
age and mileage repurchase requirements. These low requirements probably encouraged companies with fleets
to purchase new cars earlier than they
otherwise would have.
Industry developments.—The recent
declines in motor vehicle sales led
to cutbacks in production, which affected both profits and employment
within the motor vehicle and equipment manufacturing industry. The
industry, after recording profits for 7
years, recorded losses in model years
1990 and 1991. The number of workers employed in the industry fell to
772,500 in 1991 from 823,600 in 1990
and 867,800 in 1989; average weekly
hours of production workers in the industry declined to 42.0 in 1991 from
42.6 in 1990 and 43.4 in 1989.

and third quarters were boosted by
exceptionally attractive sales-incentive
programs.
Domestic cars.—In the fourth quarter of 1990, domestic car sales dropped
to 6.6 million (seasonally adjusted annuaTrate) from 7.2 million in the third
quarter. Several factors contributed to
the decline. First, the sales-incentive
programs offered to consumers by manufacturers were modest in comparison
with those offered in the third quarter. Second, new-car prices increased
sharply after declining in the preceding
two quarters. Third, gasoline prices
jumped sharply, and uncertainty about
future gasoline prices was exceptionally high, reflecting the Middle East
situation. Fourth, the most aggressive
fleet-marketing programs ever offered
by manufacturers, which began in the
preceding quarter, added less to sales
in the fourth quarter than in the third.
The only strength in the fourth quarter
was in sales of luxury cars, which increased as consumers purchased these
cars before a Federal tax on luxury
goods became effective on January 1,
1991.
Manufacturers cut production to 5.6
million in the fourth quarter from 6.9
million in the third. This cut partly reflected manufacturers' anticipation of
weak fourth-quarter sales. Inventories
edged down to 1.3 million at the end
of the fourth quarter from 1.4 million
in the third; the inventory-sales ratio remained at 2.3, near the 2.4 ratio
traditionally targeted by the industry.
In the first quarter of 1991, sales
fell to 6.0 million—the lowest level
since the first quarter of 1983. Sales
to both businesses and consumers declined. The decline in sales to businesses partly reflected fleet-marketing
programs that were less attractive
than those offered in the third and
fourth quarters of 1990. The decline
in sales to consumers reflected several
factors: Sales-incentive programs were
less attractive than those offered in
the third and fourth quarters; newcar prices jumped sharply; and some
consumers shifted purchases from new
cars to used cars, particularly program
cars. (Program cars are originally sold
by manufacturers to businesses as part
of fleets and are later repurchased by
the manufacturers and sold to consumers as used cars; these cars are
attractive to consumers because they
have lower mileage and more options
than most used cars and because they




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
are less expensive than most new cars.)
The supply of program cars increased
in the first quarter as a result of
the earlier aggressive fleet-marketing
programs.
Manufacturers slashed production in
the first quarter to 5.1 million, the
lowest level since the fourth quarter
of 1982. The cut in production kept
inventories low; inventories declined
to 1.1 million at the end of the first
quarter, and the inventory-sales ratio
declined to 2.1.
In the second quarter, sales edged
up to 6.1 million. This small increase
was more than accounted for by sales
to consumers; sales to businesses declined slightly. The increase in sales to
consumers reflected two factors. First,
new-car prices increased modestly after jumping sharply in the first quarter; the deceleration partly reflected
the effect on prices of sales-incentive
programs that were more attractive
than those offered in the first quarter.
Second, the shift in purchases from
new cars to used cars slowed. Usedcar sales declined for the first time in
five quarters, partly reflecting a decline in the availability of program cars
following changes in fleet-marketing
programs.
Production increased to 5.3 million
in the second quarter. Inventories
slipped to 1.0 million at the end of

in nearly 5 years.
In the third quarter, sales increased
to 6.4 million. The increase reflected
sales-incentive programs that manufacturers again enhanced to stimulate
sales. Domestic car production jumped
to 6.0 million. Inventories remained
at 1.0 million, and the inventory-sales
ratio declined to 1.8.
Imported cars .—Sales of imported
cars declined in three of the four quarters of model year 1991. Sales declined
to 2.4 million in the fourth quarter of
1990 and fell to 2.2 million in the first
quarter of 1991—the lowest level in
9 years; sales then increased to 2.4
million in the second quarter before
declining to 2.3 million in the third.
Inventories of imported cars jumped
sharply in the fourth quarter of 1990
and the first quarter of 1991, and then
they declined in the second and third
quarters.

New Trucks
Sales of new trucks fell 12 percent—
the largest drop since the recession
year of 1981—to 4.2 million units in
model year 1991 after declining 6^2
percent in 1990 and 1 percent in 1989.
Sales of all categories of trucks declined in 1990 and 1991. The share
of total vehicle sales accounted for by
trucks declined to 32^2 percent in 1991,
the first decline since 1982.
Sales of light trucks declined for
the third 6consecutive year after seven
increases. These trucks, about twothirds of which are purchased for personal use, accounted for 94 percent of
total truck sales in 1991. Many of
the same developments that affected
car sales, such as changes in salesincentive programs, also affected light
truck sales. Within light truck sales,
sales of domestic trucks fell 10^2 percent to 3.6 million in 1991 after dropping 5 percent in 1990. Even so, their
share of all light truck sales increased
to 91^2 percent in 1991, the highest
since 1978. Sales of imported light
trucks plummeted 22x/2 percent to 0.3

The quarterly pattern of truck sales
in model year 1991 roughly mirrored
that of cars sales. However, the decreases in truck sales in the fourth
quarter of 1990 and in the first quarter of 1991 were steeper than the
decreases in car sales, and the increases in truck sales in the second
and third quarters were larger than
the increases in car sales.
In the fourth quarter of 1990, truck
sales fell to 4.2 million from 4.8 million in the third; sales of both do-

mestic light trucks and "other" trucks
declined, and sales of imported light
trucks increased (chart 5). In the first
quarter of 1991, truck sales dropped
to 3.8 million; sales of all categories of
trucks declined. In the second quarter, truck sales increased to 4,1 million;
sales of both domestic and imported
light trucks increased, and sales of
"other" trucks declined. In the third
quarter, truck sales jumped to 4.5 million; sales of all categories of trucks
increased.

Pollution Abatement and Control Expenditures, 1987-89
REAL spending for pollution abatement and control (PAC) increased 1.0
percent to $74.4 billion in 1989, following a 3.0-percent increase in 1988
(chart 6). Prices of PAC goods and
services, as measured by the PAC
fixed-weighted price index, increased
4.1 percent, following a 2.7-percent
increase.
Real pollution abatement (PA) expenditures also increased 1.0 percent
in 1989, following a 3.0-percent increase in 1988. PA expenditures account for over nine-tenths of all PAC
spending. The two components accounting for the remainder of total PAC
spending are regulation and monitoring expenditures and research and development expenditures. Real spending for regulation and monitoring increased 0.7 percent, following an 8.3percent increase. Real spending for
research and development increased
2.6 percent, following a 0.4-percent
increase.1
NOTE.—Gary L. Rutledge, Chief of the Environmental Economics Division, supervised the
preparation of the estimates. Mary L. Leonard
planned and coordinated the compilation and
analysis of the estimates, with the assistance
of Mohamad F. Moabi and Christine R. Vogan.
The preparation of estimates involved
the following staff: Personal consumption—
Frederick G. Kappler; business—David M. Bratton, Frederick G. Kappler, Mary L. Leonard,
Nikolaos A. Stergioulas, and Howard J. White;
and government—David M. Bratton, Mary L.
Leonard, and Howard J. White. Shirley D. Tisdale and Sonia R. Bundy provided statistical and
secretarial services, respectively.

Real spending for air PAC decreased
8.9 percent in 1989. The decrease
was attributable to declines in personal and business spending to purchase and operate emission abatement
devices on motor vehicles. Operating expenditures dropped 48.4 percent,
and purchases declined 7.0 percent.
Real spending for both water PAC and
solid waste disposal rose in 1989. Water PAC spending increased 5.7 percent, following a decrease of 2.6 percent in 1988. Real spending for solid
waste disposal increased 10.6 percent,
reflecting a large increase in business
operation of plant and equipment expenditures and a moderate increase in
government spending.

Personal consumption PA expenditures, all of which is for the purchase
and operation of motor vehicle emission abatement devices, decreased $1.9
billion in 1989. Purchases of these
devices (for example, catalytic converters) decreased $0.5 billion; the decrease was mainly due to a fall in
unit sales of vehicles. The cost of
operating emission abatement devices
decreased $1.3 billion. This cost consists largely of the additional cost of
using unleaded, rather than leaded,
gasoline in vehicles with catalytic converters. In 1989, the price gap between
unleaded and leaded gasoline narrowed for the fourth consecutive year,
sharply cutting the cost of operating
the devices.

the increase was in spending on current account, which increased $1.3 billion, to $31.5 billion. Among currentaccount items, the largest increase was
in PA spending on the operation of
plant and equipment (particularly for
water PA and solid waste disposal). PA
spending on capital account increased
$0.6 billion, to $15.5 billion.
Government PA expenditures increased $0.7 billion, to $14.4 billion.
The increase was primarily for State
and local spending for solid waste disposal, although spending for the construction of public sewer systems also
increased.
Prices in 1989.—The fixed-weighted
price index for total PAC spending increased 4.1 percent in 1989, following
a 2.7-percent increase in 1988 (table
2). Price increases were higher in
1989 than in 1988 for each type of expenditure. Air PAC prices increased
4.2 percent, following a 2.2-percent increase. Water PAC prices increased
3.5 percent, following a 2.4-percent increase. Prices for solid waste disposal,
which continued to increase faster than
prices of air and water PAC, increased
5.3 percent, following a 4.0-percent
increase.

cording to the information available in

accounted for by business and by government increased. Personal consumption spending accounted for 12.3 percent of total PAC spending in 1989,
down from 15.0 percent in 1988. The
drop in share reflected the declines
in purchases of motor vehicle emission abatement devices and in expenditures for the operation of these devices. Within the personal sector, the

negligible. Government spending as
a share of total PAC spending edged
up from 21.3 percent in 1988 to 22.1
percent in 1989. Within the government sector, the share of spending
accounted for by public sewer system construction decreased, and the

solid waste disposal.
Spending by type.—In 1989, the

negligible. Solid waste disposal spending as a share of total PAC spending
increased about 2 percentage points to
22.5 percent; compositional shifts were
negligible.
Technical notes
The estimates of PAC components
are based directly on surveys or censuses or are estimated by indirect
methods. Typically, PAC estimates derived from direct sources account for
about three-fifths of total PAC spending. The most important direct sources
are the Pollution Abatement Costs and
Expenditures (PACE) Survey (for capital and operating spending by manufacturing industries), the Pollution
Abatement Plant and Equipment Expenditures Survey (for capital spend-

1. The Clean Air Act classifies sources of pollutants as either mobile, such as passenger cars, or stationary, such as factories.
2. Cars and trucks only.
3. Consists of new plant and equipment expenditures for pollution abatement according to results from the plant and equipment expenditures survey
by BEA through 1987. See technical note for information on 1988-89.
4. Consists of spending for fixed capital of government enterprises such as the Tennessee Valley Authority.
5. Consists of spending to operate government enterprises and all spending by government; separate data on spending to acquire and operate
government pollution abatement facilities are not available.
6. The Federal Water Pollution Control Act defines point sources as facilities that discharge to a body of water through a pipe or ditch.
7. Consists of spending for private connectors to public sewer systems, capital spending by owners of feedlots, and spending for fixed capital
of government enterprises such as the Tennessee Valley Authority.
8. Consists of spending by Federal, State, and local governments for the collection and disposal of solid waste and of spending by households
for collection and disposal of solid waste by business.
9. Consists of "other and unallocated" spending.
NOTE.—Based on tables 7 and 8.




November 1991

ing totals by nonfarm business), and
surveys of government finances (for
government spending for sewer systems and for solid waste collection
and disposal). All of these surveys
are conducted
by the Bureau of the
Census.3
Because of a cutback in the number of industries covered by the Pollution Abatement Plant and Equipment
Expenditures (P&E) Survey, BEA is
experimenting with new methods for
estimating nonfarm business PA capital spending. For the present article,
1987 estimates from the PA P&E survey have been brought forward using
growth rates for 1988 and 1989 from a
new estimation method. This method
builds on manufacturing estimates of
PA capital spending reported by the
PACE survey. Added to the PACE survey estimates are estimates for electric
utilities from the PA P&E survey and
estimates fot mining and other nonmanufacturing. The latter estimates
are based on indirect estimation procedures utilizing a variety of source
data, including the PA P&E survey, an
environmental protection expenditures
survey by the American Petroleum Institute, and data from the Census of
Mineral Industries.

3. For a more detailed discussion of the sources of
PAC component estimates, see Kit D. Farber and Gary
L. Rutledge, "Pollution Abatement and Control Expenditures, 1984-87," SURVEY OP CURRENT BUSINESS 69 (June

1989): 22-23.

L,C,Lg,U Cyclical indicator series are classified as L (leading), C (coincident), Lg (lagging), or U (unclassified) at reference cycle peaks, troughs, and overall.
Series classifications are shown in parentheses following the series titles.
$ Cyclical indicator series denoted by $ are inverted (i.e., the sign is reversed) for cyclical analysis calculations, including classifications, contributions to
composite indexes, and current high values,
t Cyclical indicator series denoted by f are smoothed by an autoregressive-moving-average filter developed by Statistics Canada.
For information on composite indexes and other concepts used in this section, see "Composite Indexes of Leading, Coincident, and Lagging Indicators" in
the November 1987 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS and "Business Cycle Indicators: Revised Composite Indexes" in the January 1989 SURVEY.
References to series in this section use the prefix "BCI-" followed by the series number. Unless otherwise noted, series are seasonally adjusted.
Percent change data are centered within the spans: 1-month changes are placed in the ending month, 3-month changes are placed in the 3d month, 6-month
changes are placed in the 4th month, 1-quarter changes are placed in the ending quarter, and 4-quarter changes are placed in the 3d quarter.
Diffusion indexes are defined as the percent of components rising plus one-half of the percent of components unchanged. Diffusion index data are centered
within the spans: 1-month indexes are placed in the ending month and 6-month indexes are placed in the 4th month.
High values reached by cyclical indicators since the last reference cycle trough (November 1082) are shown in boldface type; high values reached prior to
the period shown in the table are listed at the bottom of each page. For inverted series, low values are indicated as highs.
Sources for series in this section are shown on pages C-47 and C-48 in the October 1991 SURVEY.

1. A component's contribution measures its impact, in percentage points, on the percent
change in the index. Each month, the sum of the contributions plus the trend adjustment factor
equals (except for rounding differences) the index's percent change from the previous month.
The trend adjustment factors are 0.142 for the leading index, —0.186 for the coincident index,
and 0.030 for the lagging index.
2. Excludes BCI-57, for which data are not available.
3. Excludes BCI-77, for which data are not available.

mobile homes have been revised back to 1987.
f Effective May 1990 SURVEY, data for seasonally adjusted building permits have been revised
back to 1988 and are available upon request.
* Series first shown in the July 1990 SURVEY. Thefixed-weightedprice index is a weighted
average of the individual price index series used to deflate the Value of New Construction Put in
Place (VIP) series. In calculating the index, the weights (the composition of current dollar VIP
in 1987 by category of construction) are held constant. Consequently, the index reflects only
changes in prices. The implicit price deflator is a derived ratio of total current to constant dollar
VIP (multiplied by 100). It is the average of the individual price indexes used in the deflation of
VIP, but the prices are weighted by the composition of VIP each period. As a result, the implicit
price deflator reflects not only changes in prices, but also changes in the composition of VIP, and
its use as a measure of price change is discouraged. Effective July 1991 SURVEY, data have been
revised back to 1986.
ft Effective May 1991 SURVEY, the Boeckh indexes have a new base year of 1987.
XX Effective Sept. 1990 SURVEY, the construction cost index for the Federal Highway
Administration has been revised back to 1986 and has a new base year of 1987=100.

# Includes data for items not shown separately.
^ Effective with the January 1991 SURVEY, the seasonally adjusted labor force series have
beenrevisedback to January 1986. The January 1991 issue of Employment and Earnings contains
the new seasonal adjustment factors, a description of the current methodology, and revised data
for the most recent 13 months or calendar quarters. Revised monthly data for the entire 1986-90
revision period appear in the February 1991 issue of Employment and Earnings.
t The participation rate is the percent of the civilian noninstitutional population in the civilian
labor force. The employment-population ratio is civilian employment as a percent of the civilian
noninstitutional population, 16 years and over.
@ Data include resident armed forces.
X See note "$" for p. S-8.

Page S-10
O See note "O" for p. S-9.
§ Effective with the Sept. 1990 and June 1991 issues of the SURVEY, data have been revised,
respectively back to April 1988 and April 1989, unadjusted, and back to Jan. 1985 and Jan. 1986,
seasonally adjusted, to reflect new benchmarks and seasonal adjustment factors. In addition the
Sept. 1990 revision included the conversion of the industry series to 1987 SIC codes. Industry
series affected by revisions in the SIC have been revised back to the inception of the series, to
the extent possible. In addition, all constant-dollar and indexed series were recomputed on a
1982 base. The Sept. 1990 and June 1991 issues of Employment and Earnings contain detailed
descriptions of the effects of these revisions. All of the revised historical series will be published
in a special supplement to Employment and Earnings. This supplement, when combined with the
historical bulletin, Employment, Hours, and Earnings, United States, 1909-90 will comprise the
full historical series on national data obtained from the establishment survey.

0 Production and nonsupervisory workers.
X Earnings in 19S2 dollars reflect changes in purchasing power since 1982 by dividing by
Consumer Price Index. Effective Feb. 1990 and 1991 issues of the SURVEY, this series has been
revised, respectively, back to 1985 and 1986 to reflect new seasonal factors for the CPI-W.
Revised data are available upon request.
§§ Effective with the June 1991 SURVEY, data have been revised back to 1989 and are available
upon request. Wages as of Nov. 1,1991: Common, $19.14; Skilled, $25.19.
t Excludes farm, household, and Federal workers.
@ Effective with the April 1990 SURVEY, the employment cost index is based on June
1989=100, rather than June 1981=100. Historical data for both June 1989 and June 1981 bases
are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Employment Cost Trends, 441 G
Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20212.
XX These series were affected by an error in the Sept. 1990 SURVEY. The stub for "Transportation equipment" was omitted. Hourly earnings for "Transportation equipment" were shown
following the stub for "Electronic and other electrical equipment". Hourly earnings for "Electronic and other electrical equipment" were shown following the stub for "Industrial machinery
and equipment". Hourly earnings for "Industrial machinery and equipment" were shown following the stub for "Machinery, except electrical", which was the former name for that industry (SIC
35).
* Series first shown in the July 1991 SURVEY. Wages and salaries are defined as the hourly
straight-time wage rate or, for workers not paid on an hourly basis, straight-time earnings divided
by the corresponding hours. Straight-time wage and salary rates are total earnings before payroll
deductions, excluding premium or supplemental pay for overtime and for work on weekends and
holidays, shift differentials, and nonproduction bonuses such as lump-sum payments provided
in lieu of wage increases. Production bonuses, incentive earnings, commission payments, and
cost-of-living adjustments are included in straight-time wage and salary rates.
