THE BUSINESS SITUATION
Daniel Larkins,
Larry R. Moran,
and Ralph W.
Morris prepared
the first two
sections of this
article; Michael W.
Webb prepared the
section on the
government sector.

CCORDING TO the "preliminary" estimates
r the third quarter of 1992, real gross
domestic product (GDP), a measure of goods
and services produced in the United States, increased 3.9 percent; the "advance" third-quarter
estimate, issued in October, had shown a 2.7percent increase.1 Real gross domestic purchases,
a measure of goods and services purchased by
U.S. residents, increased 4.3 percent, i.o percentage point more than October's estimate. The
fixed-weighted price index for gross domestic
purchases increased 2.5 percent, o.i percentage
point more than October's estimate. (The "Revisions" section of this article discusses the sources
of revisions in the third-quarter estimates.)
The 3.9-percent increase in real GDP in the third
quarter was the largest increase since the fourth
quarter of 1988; it was substantially higher than
the increases in recent quarters (chart i). Most
of the acceleration from the second quarter to
the third was accounted for by output of goods;
output of structures swung down (table i).
The 4.3-percent increase in real gross domestic purchases in the third quarter was the largest
increase since the fourth quarter of 1987; it also
was substantially higher than the increases in
recent quarters. (Unlike GDP, gross domestic
purchases excludes exports of goods and services and includes imports of goods and services.)
The composition of the increase in gross doi. Quarterly estimates in the national income and product accounts are
expressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, and quarterly changes are differences between these rates. Quarter-to-quarter percent changes are annualized.
Real, or constant-dollar, estimates are expressed in 1987 dollars and are based
on 1987 weights.

mestic purchases was substantially different in
the second and third quarters. In the second quarter, inventory investment—that is, the

change in business inventories—had accounted
for about one-half of the increase, and nonresidential fixed investment had accounted for most
of the rest. In the third quarter, inventory investment accounted for less than one-fourth of the
increase, and personal consumption expenditures
accounted for most of the rest.

storms are embedded in the source data and
cannot easily be separated. However, BEA has
adjusted certain components of the NIPA'S to reflect effects that are not accounted for in the
source data. Adjustments were calculated primarily to reflect the destruction of structures
and equipment owned by businesses (including owner-occupied housing, which is treated
as a business entity in the NIPA'S), insurance
benefits received by consumers and businesses,
and insurance benefits paid by foreign companies. These adjustments were presented and
described in some detail in the October "Business Situation"; hurricane-related benefits paid
by insurance companies and received by persons
and corporations have since been revised up on
the basis of new information (see "Revisions"
section).

Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki.—Hurricane Andrew struck Florida and Louisiana in late August, and Hurricane Iniki struck Hawaii in
mid-September.
As explained in the "Business Situation" in the September and October
issues of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS,
BEA will not attempt to quantify the total impact that the hurricanes had on national income and product accounts (NIPA) aggregates
in the third quarter; most of the effects of the

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Personal consumption expenditures
Real personal consumption expenditures (PCE)
increased 3.7 percent in the third quarter after
changing little in the second (table 2). Expenditures for nearly all types of goods and services
increased in the third quarter.
The increase in PCE is surprisingly large in light
of the weakness in major factors associated with
consumer spending. Real disposable personal
income increased only 0.4 percent in the third
quarter after increasing modestly, 1.2 percent, in
the second. The unemployment rate increased
slightly, to 7.6 percent. The Index of Consumer
Sentiment (prepared by the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center) declined for the
third time in four quarters.
Expenditures for durable goods increased 9.5
percent in the third quarter after declining 2.1
percent in the second. Furniture and household
equipment increased 17.0 percent after no change;
consumer electronics accounted for much of the
increase. "Other" durable goods jumped 23.0
percent after declining 5.6 percent; jewelry and
books accounted for much of the increase. Motor vehicles and parts decreased 2.2 percent after
decreasing 2.8 percent; the third-quarter decrease
mainly reflected a drop in new foreign cars that
was partly offset by an increase in new domestic
cars.
Expenditures for services increased 3.0 percent
in the third quarter after increasing 1.2 percent in
the second. All major components contributed to
the third-quarter increase. A 9.6-percent increase

November 1992

in transportation was primarily accounted for by
increased air travel, probably in response to fare
reductions by most major airlines. Medical care
increased 3.8 percent, about as much as in the
second quarter.
Expenditures for nondurable goods increased
2.5 percent in the third quarter after decreasing 1.5 percent in the second. Clothing and
shoes accounted for the increase. Food and
"other" nondurable goods changed little, and
energy decreased.
Nonresidential fixed investment
Real nonresidential fixed investment increased
1.9 percent in the third quarter after a 16.1percent jump in the second quarter that mainly
reflected shipments of civilian aircraft that had
been ordered many quarters earlier (table 3).
Excluding the second-quarter jump, nonresidential fixed investment has been lackluster at
best, reflecting the mix of factors that underlie investment spending. The yield on new high-grade
corporate bonds decreased almost i percentage
point over the past four quarters; during the
same period, corporate profits and cash flow increased almost 10 percent (and would have been
up substantially more were it not for Hurricanes
Andrew and Iniki). In contrast, real final sales of
domestic product has been sluggish, increasing
less than 2 percent over the past four quarters.
During the same period, the capacity utilization
rate in manufacturing has drifted down slightly;
in the third quarter it was more than 7 percentage
points below its cyclical peak.

Structures decreased 14.4 percent in the third
quarter after decreasing 0.8 percent in the second. Nonresidential buildings decreased for the
eighth consecutive quarter; industrial and commercial buildings contributed about equally to
the third-quarter decrease. Utilities' construction
was again unchanged.
Producers' durable equipment increased 9.2
percent in the third quarter after increasing 24.1
percent in the second. Transportation equipment
decreased after a sharp upswing in the second
quarter; most of the decrease was accounted
for by civilian aircraft, which had accounted
for almost two-thirds of the second-quarter upswing. Information processing equipment increased substantially after several quarters of
smaller increases.
Residential investment
Real residential investment increased 0.8 percent
in the third quarter after increasing 12.6 percent
in the second. The third-quarter increase was
the smallest in six quarters. In the third quarter,
a decrease in multifamily structures largely offset moderate increases in single-family structures
and in the "other" component.2
Single-family construction increased much less
in the third quarter than in the second and much
less in the second than in the first. Most of
the slowdown reflected a shift toward the construction of smaller units or of units with fewer

commissions on house sales, and residential equipment.

amenities; single-family housing starts slowed
only from 1.05 million units (seasonally adjusted
annual rate) in the first quarter to 1.02 million
units in the third (chart 2).
Multifamily construction decreased in the third
quarter after increasing in the second. The
increase was only the second one in 3 years.
In the "other" component, increases in improvements and in new mobile home sales were
partly offset by a small decrease in brokers' commissions on house sales. House sales changed
little in the third quarter, despite a continued
slide in mortgage interest rates (chart 3).
Inventory investment
Real inventory investment—that is, the change
in business inventories—increased $12.4 billion in
the third quarter after increasing $20.4 billion in
the second (table 4). The third-quarter increase
reflected a step-up in inventory accumulation;
the second-quarter increase had reflected a swing
from liquidation to moderate accumulation.
Nonfarm inventories increased $14.8 billion in
the third quarter after increasing $6.0 billion in
the second. The step-up was attributable to
an upswing in manufacturing inventories and
to faster accumulation of nonauto retail trade
inventories.
Manufacturing inventories increased $4.5 billion in the third quarter after five consecutive
quarterly decreases. The increase was accounted
for by substantial accumulations in inventories of
nondurables—mainly in the chemicals, food, and

apparel industries. Inventories of durable goods
industries decreased for the eighth consecutive
quarter; the third-quarter decrease was largely in
transportation equipment, mainly aircraft.
Wholesale trade inventories increased $1.1 billion in the third quarter after increasing $3.2
billion in the second. In the third quarter, an increase in inventories of durable goods was largely
offset by a decrease in inventories of nondurable
goods. Motor vehicles and parts accounted for
about one-half of the increase in durable goods;
farm products and petroleum and petroleum
products more than accounted for the decrease
in nondurable goods.
Retail trade inventories increased $10.8 billion
in the third quarter after increasing $11.8 billion
in the second. Auto dealers' inventories increased
substantially less in the third quarter than in the
second. Other retail trade inventories increased
more in the third quarter than in the second,
largely reflecting stepped-up accumulations in
apparel and department stores.
Farm inventories increased $5.3 billion in the
third quarter after increasing $1.8 billion in the

second. Inventories of crops increased more
than in the second quarter; the third-quarter
increase primarily reflected a pickup in crop output. Inventories of livestock increased slightly
after a decrease; the upswing reflected weak
open-market sales.
Reflecting the third-quarter increases in nonfarm inventories and in final sales of domestic
businesses, the constant-dollar ratio of nonfarm
inventories to final sales edged down to 2.57,
just below the 2.58-2.64 range in which it had
fluctuated for 3^2 years.
Net exports of goods and services
Real exports increased in the third quarter after
decreasing slightly in the second; real imports increased about as much in the third quarter as in
the second (table 5).
The third-quarter increase in exports was more
than accounted for by merchandise exports,
which increased 14.7 percent after slipping o.i
percent. Agricultural exports increased after decreasing, and nonagricultural exports increased
10.8 percent, its eighth consecutive increase.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Among nonagricultural exports, most major enduse categories were up in the third quarter;
nonautomotive capital goods were up the most,
despite a sharp falloff in exports of civilian aircraft. Exports of services decreased 3.6 percent
after decreasing 4.7 percent.
The third-quarter increase in imports was almost entirely due to merchandise imports, which
increased 15.1 percent after increasing 17.2 percent. Imports of petroleum products increased
15.8 percent after jumping 41.1 percent. Imports
of nonpetroleum products increased 15.2 percent,
a little more than in the second quarter; most of
the third-quarter increase was in nonautomotive
capital goods and in consumer goods. Imports
of services increased 2.0 percent after increasing
2.9 percent.

State and local government purchases increased
1.4 percent in the third quarter after decreasing
0.2 percent in the second. The upswing reflected
a rebound in construction.
Revisions
The preliminary third-quarter estimate of a 3.9percent increase in real GDP is 1.2 percentage
points higher than the advance estimate issued
in October (table 7). All major components of
GDP were revised up. The largest revisions were
in exports ($10.2 billion) and in imports ($8.4
billion), primarily reflecting newly available merchandise trade data for September. A $5.5 billion
upward revision in inventory investment primarily reflected the incorporation of newly available
data on retail inventories for September. Personal consumption expenditures was revised up
$2.3 billion, mainly reflecting revised data on
retail sales for August and September. Nonresidential fixed investment was revised up $2.0
billion, mainly reflecting revised manufacturers'
shipments for August and newly available data
for September.
For real gross domestic purchases, the preliminary estimate of a 4.3-percent increase is i.o
percentage point higher than the advance estimate. This revision is smaller than the revision
in GDP because revisions in gross domestic purchases are not affected by revisions in exports and
imports.
The increases in the fixed-weighted price indexes for gross domestic purchases and for GDP
were each revised up o.i percentage point.
Revisions were also made to several of the
third-quarter adjustments to the NIPA'S for
the impact of Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki.
Current-dollar estimates of benefits paid by insurance companies were revised up from $49.2

Government purchases
Real government purchases increased 3.3 percent
in the third quarter after decreasing 1.2 percent
in the second (table 6). The upswing mainly
reflected a turnaround in Federal Government
defense purchases, but Federal nondefense purchases and State and local government purchases
also contributed.
Federal defense purchases increased 6.7 percent in the third quarter after decreasing in the
five preceding quarters. The increase was accounted for by military hardware, particularly
missiles, and by purchases of services excluding
compensation of employees.
Federal nondefense purchases increased 5.5
percent in the third quarter after increasing 3.3
percent in the second. The pickup was accounted for by faster inventory accumulation by
the Commodity Credit Corporation. "Other"
nondefense purchases increased 2.6 percent in the
third quarter, the same rate as in the second.

third quarter after increasing $4.4 billion in
the second (table 8). Profits from the domestic operations of financial corporations, down
$23.1 billion, more than accounted for the decrease. Profits from the domestic operations of
nonfinanciai corporations increased $4.3 billion,
reflecting increases both in the unit profits and
in the real gross product of these corporations.
Profits from the rest of the world increased $0.9
billion; receipts of profits from foreign affiliates
of U.S. corporations decreased $0.8 billion, but
payments of profits by U.S. affiliates of foreign
corporations decreased more, $1.7 billion.
Cash flow from current production, a profitsrelated measure of internally generated funds
available to corporations for investment, increased $6.0 billion after decreasing $1.2 billion.
The increase in cash flow, together with a decrease in (current-dollar) nonresidential fixed
investment, lifted cash flow as a percentage of
nonresidential investment to 90.3 percent from
88.8 percent.
These estimates for the third quarter reflect the
effects of Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki. Esti-

The fiscal position of the government sector continued to deteriorate in the third quarter of
1992, as the combined deficit of the Federal Government and of State and local governments
increased $7.6 billion, to $292.8 billion (table 9).
The Federal Government deficit decreased $1.1
billion; the State and local government surplus
decreased $8.6 billion.

tion and the $26.3 billion decrease in PBT reflected
changes in the IVA and in the ccAdj.
The IVA is an estimate of inventory profits with
the sign reversed. Inventory profits decreased $5.7
billion, reflecting a slowdown in the rate at which
prices of inventoried goods increased. The Producer Price Index, a major source for inventory
prices, slowed to a 2.1-percent increase (annual
rate) in the third quarter from a 4.2-percent
increase in the second.
The ccAdj is the difference between the predominantly tax-based depreciation measure that
underlies PBT, on the one hand, and BEA'S estimate of the consumption of fixed capital, on the
other; the ccAdj increased $2.7 billion in the third
quarter.

The Federal Government deficit decreased to
$301.9 billion, as receipts increased more than
expenditures.
Receipts increased $5.7 billion in the third
quarter after increasing $6.5 billion in the second. Within receipts, a sharp upturn in personal
tax and nontax receipts was offset by a sharp
downturn in corporate profits tax accruals. Personal tax and nontax receipts increased $12.0
billion after decreasing $4.2 billion; the secondquarter decline was attributable to a revision
of the income-tax-withholding tables in March.
Corporate profits tax accruals decreased $10.2 billion after increasing $6.1 billion; the downswing
reflected the pattern of corporate profits, which
was affected by Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki.
Indirect business tax and nontax accruals increased $1.5 billion after increasing $0.6 billion,
and contributions for social insurance increased
$2.3 billion after increasing $3.9 billion.
Expenditures increased $4.6 billion after increasing $20.2 billion. All expenditure categories except purchases contributed to the slowdown; purchases turned up sharply and more
than accounted for the third-quarter increase in
expenditures.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Transfer payments slowed to a $2.2 billion
increase from a $9.7 billion increase. Transfer payments to persons increased $4.5 billion
after an increase of $8.0 billion. The slowdown was due to benefits paid under the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Act of 1991,
which decreased $1.7 billion after increasing $0.9
billion, to hospital and supplementary medical insurance payments (medicare), which increased $3.0 billion after increasing $3.9 billion,
and to supplemental security income, which increased $0.8 billion after increasing $1.5 billion.
Transfer payments to the rest of the world decreased $24 billion after an increase of $1.6
billion.
Grants-in-aid to State and local governments
was unchanged in the third quarter after increasing $9.0 billion. The slowdown was spread
across most major programs, including education, aid to families with dependent children, and
highways.
Subsidies less the current surplus of government enterprises decreased $6.7 billion after increasing $1.1 billion.
The downturn
was attributable to agricultural subsidies, which
decreased $7.7 billion after increasing $0.3 billion.
Purchases increased $9.3 billion after decreasing
$0.3 billion. The upturn was largely in defense
purchases and reflected significant increases in
research and development, in installation sup-




port, and in military equipment, notably missiles.
Nondefense purchases increased $2.6 billion after increasing $1.7 billion; the acceleration was
attributable to farm products held in inventory
by the Commodity Credit Corporation, which
increased $1.6 billion after increasing $0.6 billion.
State and local
The State and local government surplus decreased to $9.1 billion, as expenditures increased
considerably more than receipts.
Receipts increased $5.7 billion in the third
quarter after increasing $16.2 billion in the second. The slowdown was largely attributable to
Federal grants-in-aid. Reflecting the pattern of
corporate profits, corporate profits tax accruals
decreased $2.3 billion after increasing $1.6 billion. Indirect business tax and nontax accruals
increased $7.0 billion after increasing $3.2 billion.
Expenditures increased $14.4 billion after increasing $15.1 billion. Purchases increased $4.4
billion after increasing $6.3 billion; the deceleration was primarily in employee compensation,
mostly in earnings. Purchases other than compensation increased $1.1 billion after decreasing
$1.0 billion; the upswing was most pronounced
in purchases of structures. All other expenditure
categories combined increased $9.9 billion after
increasing $8.8 billion; much of the acceleration
was in transfer payments to persons. 0

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-of-quarter
prices. The latter is the change in the physical volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. In
addition, changes calculated from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. 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 calculate 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. For the alternative indexes, the chain-type indexes with annual weights use weights
for the preceding and current years, and 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. For the alternative indexes, the chain-type
indexes with annual weights use weights for the preceding and current years, and the indexes with benchmarkyears weights use weights of 1959, 1963, 1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, and 1987 and the most recent year.

Reconciliation of the U.S.-Canadian
Current Account
By Anthony J. DiLullo and Lucie Laliberte

Lucie Laliberte is
the director of
Statistics Canada's
Balance of
Payments Division.
Anthony DiLullo is
the assistant chief
of BEA'S Balance of
Payments Division.
A similar version
of this article will
appear in the
December 1992
Canadian Economic
Observer.




* HIS ARTICLE presents a detailed description
JL of the reconciliation of the bilatera^ cur rentaccount estimates of Canada and the United
States for 1990 and 1991. Such reconciliations
have been undertaken by Statistics Canada and
the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) each year
since 1970.* They were initiated because of the
extensive economic links between the two countries and the need to explain differences in the
Canadian and U.S. published estimates of the bilateral current account. In principle, the bilateral
current account of one country should mirror the
bilateral current account of the other country.
The reconciliation process has resulted in
greater accuracy of the published estimates of
transactions between Canada and the United
States and in increased efficiency in producing
i. Summary results of the current-account reconciliations were published
in the United States in the following issues of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS: June 1975, September 1976 and 1977, December 1979, June 1981, and
December 1981 through 1991. In Canada, the results were published in the
following issues of Canada's Balance of International Payments (catalogue 67001), a publication of Statistics Canada: Fourth Quarter 1973, Second Quarter
1976 and 1977, Third Quarter 1978 and 1979, First Quarter 1981, and Third
Quarter 1981 through 1991.

the estimates. These improvements have been
accomplished through the exchange of data between the two countries and the development of
improved estimating techniques.
Over 80 percent of the data used by Canada
and the United States to compile CanadianU.S. current-account estimates is now provided
through the exchange of data such as the following: U.S. and Canadian merchandise imports
(beginning January 1990); services such as travel,
passenger fares, inland freight, and government
expenditures; unilateral transfers such as pensions; and certain Canadian and U.S. banking
data used to estimate interest income. The exchange of data was undertaken in some instances
because either the Canadian or the U.S. data were
substantially more comprehensive and complete;
an example is the exchange of each country's
merchandise import data, which were found to
be more complete than the other country's export data. In other instances, the exchange of

data was aimed at eliminating duplication of effort, such as the use of the same source data
to develop estimates of bilateral travel and passenger fare transactions. The elimination of the
processing of export declarations resulted in reductions in some government processing costs,
and the elimination of duplicate surveys of U.S.
and Canadian travelers resulted in reductions in
respondent burden.
The reconciliation process has also resulted in
improvements of estimates that are not based on
the exchange of data. For example, U.S. compilers revised the methodology for developing
some U.S. estimates of portfolio income receipts
from Canada, and Canadian and U.S. compilers
each effected improvements in Canadian and U.S.
source data for a number of service transactions.2
Revisions based on the reconciliations are incorporated into the Canadian and U.S. estimates
as far as possible. Complete exchange of data or
substitution of reconciled estimates for published
estimates is not feasible because of definitional
and methodological differences and because estimates of transactions with third countries would
be affected in some cases. In addition, for some
estimates, protecting the confidentiality of source
data bars the exchange of data.
This article has two purposes. The first is
to present a detailed analysis of the differences

in published estimates and an explanation of
the reconciliation adjustments. The reconciliation process has now evolved to the point
where the causes of most differences in published estimates are understood in detail, and a
process for reconciling the differences has been
developed and tested. In the last few years,
considerable progress has been achieved in developing the process, partly resulting from the
increased importance given to the reconciliation
process by Canadian and U.S. statistical agencies.
The second purpose is to present the CanadianU.S. current-account reconciliation process as a
guide for balance of payments compilers in their
bilateral reconciliation efforts and to provide detailed information to users of Canadian and U.S.
balance of payments statistics.
Major Types of Reconciliation Adjustments
Reconciliation adjustments to each country's
published estimates fall into three broad
categories—definitional, methodological, and
statistical—which reflect the differences that
occur in the published estimates.
Definitional and methodological adjustments
Definitional and methodological adjustments are
required because of differences in definitions and
methodologies used to compile the international
accounts in Canada and the United States. These
differences may reflect each country's requirements to integrate the external accounts with

The Reconciliation Process

The reconciliations were carried out under the direction of Lucie Laliberte, director of Statistics Canada's
Balance of Payments Division, and Anthony DiLullo,
assistant chief of BEA'S Balance of Payments Division.
In Statistics Canada, Hugh Henderson, Diane Thibault,
Emmanuel Manolikakis, Rick Murat, Bruce Nichols,
and Linda Saikaley participated in the reconciliation
of the Canadian accounts. Diane Thibault also was
responsible for the production and coordination of reconciliation tables. At BEA, Russell Scholl, assisted by
Jane Newstedt, was responsible for reconciling the U.S.
portfolio income accounts; Mark New, for the accounts
related to U.S. direct investment in Canada; and Gregory Fouch, for the accounts related to Canadian direct
investment in the United States. The reconciliations
were originally under the direction of Evelyn Parrish
Lederer, formerly of BEA, and Keith McAlister, formerly of Statistics Canada. Significant contributions to
improvements in reconciling investment income were
made by John Motala, formerly of Statistics Canada.

The reconciliation consists of two phases. One is the reconciliation of
the merchandise trade account, and the other is the reconciliation of service
transactions, investment income, and unilateral transfers.
The task of reconciling the merchandise trade account now consists mainly
of reconciling the Canadian and U.S. adjustments made to customs data—
the source data of the merchandise trade account—for balance of payments
purposes. Until 1990, reconciliation of the customs data was undertaken by
the International Trade Division of Statistics Canada and the Foreign Trade
Division of the U.S. Bureau of the Census. Cooperation between the two
Divisions culminated in the formal exchange of data between Canada and the
United States in January 1990, whereby each country uses the other country's
import data to compile its merchandise exports.
Reconciliation of service transactions, investment income, and unilateral
transfers is less straightforward than reconciliation of merchandise trade. Because of the variety and complexity of the transactions and the differences
that can be expected when two independent statistical agencies measure the
changing external transactions of their own countries, the reconciliation for
nonmerchandise transactions is more of a process than an end. The reconciliation is an important means of explaining definitional, methodological, and
statistical differences and of directing research efforts.

domestic accounts. In other instances, there are
differences in conventions used by Canadian and
U.S. compilers that are largely due to institutional
factors. Choice of one definition or methodology over another in developing reconciliation
adjustments does not indicate agreement on what
the correct definition should be nor on the most
appropriate methodology. Often, the choice is
based on practical considerations, such as the
availability of data.

of-origin basis. To achieve reconciliation, a
common definition is selected.
Among methodological differences, one country may classify a group of transactions in an
account different from that of the other country,
or it may record certain transactions on a gross
basis rather than a net basis. To achieve reconciliation, transactions are reclassified to a common
account and are adjusted to a gross or net basis,
as required.

Among definitional differences, the United
States includes reinvested earnings as a component of direct investment income, whereas
Canada does not; Canada records merchandise
imports on a country-of-shipment basis, whereas
the United States records them on a country-

Statistical adjustments
Statistical adjustments mainly reflect differences
in data sources and estimation techniques. In addition, differences in private accounting practices

.in Canada and the United States affect the type
of data available from statistical surveys.
There are four broad types of statistical adjustments. First, some adjustments are based
on knowledge about the quality and coverage of
source data. When one country's source data are
believed to be of better quality than the other
country's source data, the better source data are
used to develop the reconciled estimates. Second, some adjustments are made because the
detailed data needed to make two estimates comparable may be available from one country but
not the other. Third, adjustments are made
to anticipate revisions in source data that become available after publication of the estimates.
Fourth, many adjustments are based essentially

November 1992 • 35

on pragmatic factors. When no means of clearly
establishing the merits of one country's data are
available, reconciled values reflect compromises
by the compilers, particularly when the compromise is within a reasonable range of error in
measurement. For all types of statistical adjustments, the reconciled values represent the best
possible compromise.
Reconciliation of Major Accounts
This section presents a discussion of the reconciliation adjii&tments made to the major accounts:
Merchandise trade, services, investment income,
and unilateral transfers. Although numerous
adjustments are made, only those that involve

important definitional or methodological differences or that are large in size are discussed
in detail.
Definitional adjustments, such as
the exclusion of reinvested earnings and the
reallocation of merchandise imports to the country of shipment, affect the reconciled currentaccount balance, as do the statistical adjustments.
Methodological adjustments, such as reclassification and grossing or netting, are necessary to
achieve common treatment, but because they are
offsetting, they do not affect the current-account
balance.
In this discussion, the term "northbound"
refers to U.S. receipts, or Canadian payments.
"Southbound" refers to Canadian receipts, or
U.S. payments. All values are expressed in U.S.
dollars.

For 1990, the difference between the latest
U.S. and Canadian published estimates of the
U.S.-Canadian current-account balance was $3.3
billion (table i). After reconciliation, the difference was reduced to $0.4 billion. The U.S.
reconciled balance was a surplus of $3.1 billion, and the Canadian reconciled balance was
a deficit of $2.7 billion (chart i). For 1991,
the difference of $5.5 billion in the published
estimates was virtually eliminated; the reconciled balance was a U.S. surplus, or Canadian
deficit, of $3.6 billion. The large differences
between the published and reconciled balances
mostly reflect definitional adjustments made to
merchandise trade, transportation, and investment income (tables 2 and 3). Adjustments
to southbound estimates are larger than ad-

justments to northbound estimates (tables 4
and 5).

Ej;rst, Canadian reexports are added to U.S.
estimates of merchandise imports. In the U.S.
published estimates, which are on a country-oforigin basis, these imports (Canadian reexports)
are attributed to third countries rather than to
Canada. A similar adjustment to Canadian imports is not required, because the Canadian
published estimates, on a balance of payments
basis, are allocated to the country of shipment
and thus already include U.S. reexports.
Second, inland freight (freight charges on shipments of exports and imports from the plant to
the border] is reclassified in the U.S. accounts
from merchandise exports and imports to transportation; this aligns the U.S. treatment with the
Canadian treatment.4

Merchandise trade
Most of the differences between published U.S.
and Canadian estimates of merchandise trade on
a balance of payments basis stem from different
treatment of the source data.3 For reconciliation, the main task is resolving those differences
in treatment (tables 6 and 7). Four major
adjustments are required.
3. Beginning in 1990, the source data are the same for both countries,
except for the source data used by Statistics Canada for petroleum exports.
The data, except as noted, are compiled from U.S. and Canadian customs
documents filed by U.S. and Canadian importers. U.S. merchandise imports
are compiled from U.S. customs documents, and U.S. exports (Canadian imports) are compiled from data provided from Canadian customs documents.
Similarly, Canadian merchandise imports are compiled from Canadian import documents, and Canadian exports (U.S. imports) are compiled from
data provided by the Bureau of the Census from U.S. customs documents.

4. In the U.S. published estimates, inland freight is included in merchandise trade because BEA follows the convention of including the charges for
transporting goods to the port of export as part of the value of merchandise

Third, the repair of equipment reported in s the
merchandise trade source data is reclassified from
services to merchandise trade in the U.S. accounts
to align with the Canadian treatment. In the
U.S. published estimates, all equipment repairs
are included in services.
Fourth, several other balance of payments adjustments are made to the estimates. In the
Canadian accounts, the main ones reflect the exclusion, for reconciliation purposes, of valuation
differences from Canadian estimates of exports of
petroleum and natural gas to the United States
and the reclassification of freight on exports of
natural gas to transportation. Minor adjustments
include the elimination of progress payments for
certain military equipment from Canadian imports and the reclassification of processing fees
from services to merchandise exports. In the
U.S. accounts, most of the other balance of payments adjustments are for timing and valuation
differences.
Services
Travel and passenger fares.—Canadian and U.S.
published estimates of northbound and southbound travel and passenger fares are based on the
same source data and common definitions. Thus,
there is no need to reconcile the estimates except
to account for timing differences that occur in
the publication of revised estimates by Statistics
Canada and BEA.
Transportation.—The main differences between
Canadian and U.S. published estimates of north-

bound and southbound transportation transactions are the classification of inland freight
and of certain services procured by airlines and
railroads.5
Canadian published estimates of
transportation transactions include inland freight
and exclude Cervices procured in port by airlines
and railroads. U.S. published estimates reflect
the opposite treatment: Inland freight is excluded
from transportation, and port services of airlines
and railroads are included. For reconciliation, inland freight is reclassified from merchandise trade
to transportation in the U.S. accounts, and port
services of airlines and railroads are reclassified
from business services to transportation in the
Canadian accounts (tables 8 and 9). Two remaining classification adjustments—both to the
Canadian published accounts—include the reclassification of inland waterways tolls from the
Canadian northbound transportation account to
the Canadian government services account and
the reclassification of estimates of aircraft leasing (northbound and southbound) from business
services to transportation.
The single definitional adjustment is the deletion of Canadian estimates of freight receipts
5. Beginning with 1990, the estimates of southbound inland freight have
been developed by the Bureau of the Census from data collected on U.S.
customs documents; these estimates are used by Statistics Canada and BEA.
Different estimates of northbound inland freight are used by Statistics
Canada and BEA. The estimates included in the Canadian published accounts
are produced by Statistics Canada's Balance of Payments Division from data
of the Transportation Division. The estimates included in the U.S. published
accounts, which are larger than those in the Canadian accounts, are developed from Canadian customs documents. For reconciliation, the Canadian
estimates are used because they are believed to be more accurate and to conform more closely to the estimates produced by BEA from Census Bureau
data until 1990.

trade regardless of the method of shipment. The Canadian Balance of Payments Division follows the practice of valuing merchandise trade at the plant
and including freight charges in transportation.

(southbound) on U.S. exports in transit in
Canada. These receipts are reallocated to third
countries. In the U.S. treatment, such charges are
viewed as payable by the foreign importer (under
the balance of payments convention that goods
are the property of the importer after they leave
the customs frontier of the exporting country)
and thus are transactions between Canada and
third countries.

The largest statistical adjustment is the reduction of U.S. published estimates of northbound
inland freight. The estimates in the Canadian
published accounts are believed to be more accurate. In addition, estimates of pipeline freight
charges on U.S. imports of natural gas are added
to U.S. estimates of southbound inland freight
because of undercoverage in the U.S. source data.
Finally, U.S. published estimates of freight re-

these transactions are developed on a global basis

indicators such as volume of trade and passenger
traffic. For reconciliation (and later for revised

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

tions, and government transactions. Affiliated
transactions cover transactions between parent
companies and affiliated companies. Unaffiliated transactions cover transactions between all
other private residents of Canada and of the
United States. Canadian government transac-,
tions (Federal and Provincial) cover transactions
with the U.S. Government and U.S. private residents, and U.S. government transactions include
transactions with the Canadian governments and
Canadian private residents. In addition, royalties
and license fees, both affiliated and unaffiliated,
are combined with other service charges for reconciliation because the Canadian definition of
royalties and license fees is broader than the U.S.
definition.
Affiliated transactions are adjusted to remove
taxes from the Canadian published estimates (tables 10 and n). Statistical adjustments to the
U.S. published estimates include an increase in
receipts and payments of U.S. parent companies
for service charges. Statistical adjustments to
the Canadian published estimates reflect reductions of the estimate for undercoverage of service
charges.
Unaffiliated transactions are adjusted for reclassification, netting and grossing, and statistical
differences. In the U.S. accounts, installation,
maintenance, and repair of equipment are reclassified to merchandise trade, and U.S. receipts
for medical services covered by Canadian Provincial health insurance programs are reclassified
to Canadian government services. In the Canadian accounts, airline and railway port services
and aircraft leasing estimates are reclassified from
services to the transportation account, and commissions on merchandise trade are removed.6
For communications, northbound estimates are
netted against southbound estimates for comparison and reconciliation. Detailed comparisons
cannot be undertaken because of the confidentiality of source data. In addition, Canadian
estimates of insurance transactions are adjusted
to a net basis: Receipts reflect premiums received
less losses paid, and payments reflect premiums
paid less losses recovered. Canadian published
estimates include premiums received plus losses
recovered as receipts, and premiums paid plus
losses paid as payments.
6. Commissions on merchandise trade were omitted from the reconciliation pending completion of a valuation study by Statistics Canada. Similarly,
estimates of Canadian mail-order imports—which are included in the Canadian accounts, but not the U.S. accounts, as a balance of payments adjustment
to customs trade data—were omitted from the reconciled estimates pending
further review by BEA.

Statistical adjustments—mainly to business,
professional, and technical services and to sports
and entertainment—reflect pragmatic adjustments made to Canadian and U.S. estimates to
achieve reconciliation. In most cases, the adjustments involve raising either the Canadian or the
U.S. published estimates, whichever are smaller,
to the level of the other country's estimates; this
approach is taken because the smaller estimates
often reflect a narrower coverage in source data.
The differences that remain after reconciliation of unaffiliated services estimates are related
to transactions of insurance companies. These
transactions could not be reconciled, because of
basic differences in accounting conventions and
data collection methods for this industry in the
United States and Canada.
Reconciliation of government services transactions requires only statistical adjustments that
reflect timing differences in the publication of
revised estimates. Estimates of Canadian government and U.S. government transactions are
exchanged by Statistics Canada and BEA.
Investment income
Direct investment income.—To achieve a common definition of direct investment income, the
U.S. published estimates are adjusted to exclude
reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates, and
the Canadian published estimates are adjusted
to exclude taxes (tables 12 and 13). Other
definitional adjustments to Canadian published
estimates include changing the estimates of income of insurance affiliates to an accrual basis
from a cash basis and eliminating dividends that
in the U.S. accounts are recorded as payments
to holding companies in third countries but in
the Canadian accounts are recorded as receipts
from the United States. In addition, some dividends are reclassified in the Canadian accounts
from portfolio income to direct investment income. Finally, Canadian estimates of interest
receipts and payments are adjusted to a net basis
for comparability with the U.S. estimates.
When final data become available, statistical
adjustments to published northbound distributed
earnings (dividends) are usually not required or
are small. When only preliminary data are available, the U.S. published estimates are often raised
to account for underestimation of data not yet
reported, and the Canadian published estimates
are reduced to account for overestimation of such
data.
Statistical adjustments to southbound distributed earnings (dividends) are confined to the

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

U.S. estimates, which are usually raised to match
the Canadian estimates. Canadian estimates include a number of small dividends that are not
reported in the U.S. source data, possibly because
of reporting exemptions.
Statistical differences in published estimates of
northbound and southbound income of unincorporated affiliates (branches) are mainly in the

November 1992

banking, insurance, and real estate industries.
Canadian estimates of income from bank affiliates are adjusted to reflect the estimated effects of
changes in loan loss reserves on income; the U.S.
estimates already reflect such changes. Reconciliation of income from affiliates in the insurance
industry is not possible, because of differences
in accounting practices and statistical surveys in

Canada and the United States; a partial reconciliation of the northbound estimates is possible
by comparing the combined income of incorporated and unincorporated affiliates (subsidiaries
and branches) and converting the Canadian estimates to an accrual basis (inclusive of reinvested
earnings of incorporated affiliates). Differences
in income of affiliates in the real estate industry
are traceable to problems in source data.

Other private investment income (portfolio).—
Most reconciliation adjustments made to other
private investment income are to account for
differences in gross or net treatment of certain
estimates of interest income of banks and to compensate for differences in source data (tables 14
and 15)7
7. Some adjustments could be developed further if the related capital
positions were reconciled. For example, differences in estimates of income

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Canadian estimates of income received and
paid on bank claims and liabilities are published
on a net basis (receipts on claims less payments
on liabilities), whereas the U.S. estimates are
published on a gross basis. With one exception, the Canadian estimates are converted to a
gross basis for reconciliation. On a gross basis,
the Canadian estimates of receipts and payments
of income between affiliated U.S. and Canadian
banks substantially exceed the U.S. estimates.
On a net basis, these U.S. and Canadian estimates are almost identical, so for reconciliation
the U.S. estimates are adjusted to a net basis.
The reason for the pattern, while unclear, may
be due to differences in reporting definitions.
Income on other bank claims—U.S. banks' income from unaffiliated Canadian banks and nonbank Canadian residents and Canadian banks'
income from unaffiliated U.S. banks and nonbank U.S. residents—are reconciled for statistical
differences.
Most adjustments to income on securities are
made to the U.S. estimates. First, U.S. estimates
of income receipts from holdings of Canadian
bonds (northbound) are aligned with the Canadian estimates. The U.S. estimates are based
on estimated U.S. holdings that are initially developed from partial information on placements
and retirements of Canadian bonds. For reconciliation, the Canadian estimate of U.S. receipts
is used because Statistics Canada calculates U.S.
receipts from a detailed inventory of individual
Canadian bonds held by nonresidents that reflects actual placements and retirements. Because
of unexplained discrepancies in source data, both
Canadian and U.S. estimates of income payments on U.S. corporate bonds (southbound) are
arbitrarily adjusted to a common level.
Second, U.S. estimates of northbound dividends are adjusted to the Canadian level on the
assumption that the source data on dividend payments is more comprehensive than the source
data on receipts. Canadian estimates of southbound dividends are adjusted to the U.S. level for
the same reason.
Third, Canadian and U.S. estimates of U.S. income payments on U.S. Government liabilities
are adjusted to a common level. The Canadian published estimates are smaller than the
may be due to differences in assumptions about yields or in reported income,
as well as differences in the estimates of the level of claims and liabilities.




November 1992 •

U.S. published estimates. Canadian compilers
assume that a portion of U.S. Government securities purchased by Canadians are for the accounts
of U.S. insurance affiliates of Canadian parent
companies. Under this assumption, the assets
and the income are for the accounts of U.S. residents (U.S. branches of Canadian companies)
and are domestic U.S. transactions. The U.S.
estimates are based on the assumption that the
purchases are for Canadian accounts. For reconciliation, the published estimates are adjusted to
an arbitrary midpoint.
Finally, U.S. estimates are adjusted to include U.S. interest payments on foreign currency
deposits in U.S. banks to reconcile with the
Canadian estimates. It is unclear whether all
these deposits are interest bearing. In addition, some small statistical adjustments are made
to the Canadian and U.S. accounts to reconcile
miscellaneous commercial transactions.
Unilateral transfers
The largest adjustment in reconciling unilateral
transfers is the removal of taxes from Canadian
published estimates. In addition, U.S. estimates,
which are published on a net basis, are converted to a gross basis to align with the Canadian
treatment. Finally, small statistical adjustments
are made to U.S. northbound estimates and to
Canadian southbound estimates to compensate
for lack of coverage in source data.

Summary
The reconciliations have resulted in a detailed
understanding of most of the differences in the
published bilateral estimates; U.S. and Canadian
compilers have used this knowledge to increase
the accuracy of published estimates and to improve estimating techniques. Most of the differences in the published estimates of the currentaccount balance now reflect a few definitional
and statistical differences.
Recommendations
of the forthcoming Balance of Payments Manual (fifth edition) of the International Monetary
Fund may result in adjustments to published estimates that would resolve some of the definitional
differences; further research and reconciliation of
capital-account differences may resolve some of
the statistical differences. H

Gross Product of U.S. Affiliates of Foreign Direct Investors, 1987-90
THIS REPORT PRESENTS estimates of the gross product of nonbank U.S. affiliates of foreign direct investors. It updates and
extends the estimates that were previously published in the June
1990 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.1 Estimates for 1988-90 are
being presented for the first time, and estimates for 1987 are
revised; the estimates for 1977-86 are unchanged. Table i provides historical perspective by showing estimates for 1977-90 by
major industry and by major area of ultimate beneficial owner
(uBo).2 Tables 2.1-2.4 present detailed industry-by-country estimates for 1987-90, and tables 3.1 and 3.2 present detailed
industry-by-component estimates for 1987-90.
Gross product is an economic accounting measure of production. For an individual business, it can be calculated as sales plus
inventory change less purchases from other businesses; thus, it
measures value added by the business. For affiliates, it can also
1. "Gross Product of U.S. Affiliates of Foreign Companies, 1977-87," SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS 70 (June 1990): 45-53.
2. The ultimate beneficial owner is that person, proceeding up a U.S. affiliate's ownership
chain, beginning with and including the foreign parent, that is not owned more than 50
percent by another person. (The foreign parent is the first person outside the United States
in a U.S. affiliate's ownership chain that has a direct investment interest in the affiliate.)
The country of ultimate beneficial owner is often the same as that of the foreign parent,
but it may be a different foreign country or the United States.

be calculated as the sum of (i) certain factor incomes—that is,
employee compensation, profit-type return, and net interest; (2)
certain nonfactor income—that is, indirect business taxes; and
(3) consumption of fixed capital—that is, depreciation.
Estimates of affiliate gross product are useful in measuring the
economic impact of affiliates on the U.S. economy and on individual industries. Although sales by affiliates can also be used to
measure this impact, gross product is a preferable measure for
most purposes. Gross product indicates the extent to which affiliates' sales result from their own production rather than from
production that originates elsewhere, whereas sales data do not
distinguish between these two sources of production. In addition, gross product estimates measure value added by affiliates
in a specific time period. In contrast, sales in a given period
may partly reflect production that occurred in earlier periods
(if inventories are drawn down), and they may not reflect all of
the production that occurred in the given period (if inventories
increase).
In general, the estimates of affiliate gross product are conceptually consistent with the estimates of gross domestic product
(GDP) in the U.S. national income and product accounts (NIPA'S).
However, GDP includes estimates of several items that could not

be made for affiliates, namely business transfer payments; subsidies; depreciation of expenditures for mining exploration, shafts,
and wells; and a bad debt adjustment.3 These items collectively
accounted for about 2 percent of GDP in 1989.
The estimates for affiliates are somewhat narrower in coverage
than those for GDP. The major difference is that GDP includes, but
the estimates for affiliates exclude, gross product originating in
banks, which is not covered by BEA'S annual survey of foreign direct investment in the United States. GDP also includes estimates
that do not pertain to foreign direct investment in the United
States: GDP originating in government, government enterprises,
and private households; imputed GDP of owner-occupied farm
and nonfarm housing; and rental income of persons.
It should be noted that the profit-type-return component of
affiliate gross product differs conceptually from direct investment
income defined for balance of payments purposes and from net
income defined for BEA'S annual series of financial and operating
data of U.S. affiliates. The major difference between profit-type
return and direct investment income for balance of payments
purposes is that the balance of payments measure consists only of
the foreign parent's share of an affiliate's net income, whereas the
gross product measure includes all of the affiliate's net income.
For example, if an affiliate is 5O-percent owned by its foreign
parent and has net income of $100, the entire $100 enters affiliate
gross product, but only $50 enters direct investment income.4
Another difference is that profit-type return includes, but direct
investment income excludes, an inventory valuation adjustment,
3. For additional information about the conceptual differences between affiliate and NIPA
gross product components, see "Gross Product of U.S. Affiliates," p. 53.
4. This example assumes that adjustments normally made to net income to derive profittype return and adjustments made to net income before it is entered in the international
transactions accounts (balance of payments) are both zero.




which places the value of inventory withdrawals on a currentcost (replacement-cost) basis. In contrast, profit-type return
excludes, but direct investment income includes, an adjustment
to place reported depreciation and expensed exploration and
development costs on a current-cost basis.5
The i difference between profit-type return and net income
in the financial and operating series is that profit-type return
is, in general, conceptually consistent with the NIPA definition
of profit, whereas net income is conceptually consistent with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The following
adjustments are made to net income to convert it to profit-type
return: Income taxes, depletion, and an inventory valuation adjustment are added, and capital gains and income from equity
investments are deducted.
Each of the three profit measures—profit-type return, direct
investment income, and net income—serves a different purpose.
Profit-type return measures an affiliate's profits from an economic accounting perspective, that is, from current production.
Direct investment income measures the foreign parent's share of
an affiliate's net income. An affiliate's net income provides a
picture of the affiliate's total earnings, not just the parent's share
of those earnings, from a financial reporting perspective.
NOTE.—The annual survey from which the estimates were
derived was conducted by the Foreign Direct Investment in
the United States Branch, under the supervision of James L.
Bomkamp. Arnold Gilbert designed the computer programs for
data retrieval and tabular presentation. Jeffrey H. Lowe, with
assistance from Lee I. Goldberg, prepared the estimates.
Tables 2.1 through 3.2 follow. E3
5. For details on the measurement of direct investment income, see "U.S. International
Transactions," SURVEY 72 (June 1992): 72-73.

Just Released! A Historical Look at the U.S. Economy

The National Income and Product Accounts
of the United States:
Volume 2, 1959-88
This volume presents a detailed statistical description of the U.S. economy over the last 30 years. The national income and
product accounts (NIPA's)—the official U.S. economic accounts—show the value and composition of the Nation's output
and incomes. With these data, users can track long-term trends and short-term fluctuations in U.S. economic activity.
This publication contains the full set of NIPA estimates for 1959-88 in 132 tables covering about 5,100 line items. (The
companion volume, which will present NIPA estimates for 1929-58, will be available soon.) An introductory text presents
the definitions and conventions underlying the accounts, and a detailed index makes it easy to locate information in the
tables. Featured NIPA estimates include:
• Gross domestic product
• Personal income and outlays

The estimates in this volume are the result of the most recent comprehensive revision of the NIPAs. Comprehensive
revisions are undertaken about every 5 years to incorporate definitional and classificational changes, statistical changes,
and new and redesigned tables.
These estimates are also available in other media: For more information, call the Bureau of Economic Analysis at (202) 523-0804.

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.
t Cyclical indicator series denoted by t 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 | 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
SURVEYOR 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 1982) 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 C47 and C-48 in the October 1992 SURVEY.

Notes for Pages C-7 Through C-24
The following notes explain general features of the charts that appear in this section:
• Business cycle peaks (P) and troughs (T), as designated by the National Bureau of Economic
Research, Inc., are indicated at the top of each chart. The shaded areas represent recessions.
• For each series classified as a cyclical indicator, the timing classifications at peaks, at
troughs, and overall are shown in a box adjacent to the title. (L = leading, C = coincident, Lg =
lagging, U = unclassified.) A complete list of series titles and sources is shown in the April and
October issues of the SURVEY.
• Arithmetic scales are designated "Scale A." On the same arithmetic scale, equal vertical
distances represent equal differences in data. (For example, the vertical distance from 10 to 15
is the same as the distance from 100 to 105.)
• Logarithmic (log) scales are designated L-1, L-2, or L-3 to indicate their relative size. On
log scales of the same size, equal vertical distances represent equal percentage changes. (For




example, the vertical distance from 10 to 15 is the same as the distance from 100 to 150.)
Compared with an L-1 scale, the same percentage change covers half the distance on an L-2
scale and one-third the distance on an L-3 scale.
• Data are monthly unless otherwise indicated. Quarterly data are indicated by a "Q" following
the series title.
• Some series include a centered moving average, which is shown as a heavy line
superimposed on the actual monthly data.
t Parallel lines across a plotted series indicate a missing data value, change in definition, or
other significant break in continuity.
• The box near the end of each plotted series indicates the latest data month (Arabic numeral)
or quarter (Roman numeral) shown or, for series computed over a span of time (diffusion indexes
and rates of change), the latest data period used in computing the series.

§ Effective with June 1992 SURVEY, data have been revised, back to April 1990, unadjusted, and
back to Jan. 1987, seasonally adjusted, to reflect new benchmarks and seasonal adjustment factors.
The June 1992 issue of Employment and Earnings contains a detailed description of the effects of
these revisions. All of the revised historical series are 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 comprises the full historical series on national data obtained from the
establishment survey.

J Effective July 1992 SURVEY, data have been revised back to 1987. Effective July 1991 SURVEY,
data were revised back to 1986. Effective July 1990 SURVEY, data were revised back to 1985. Revised

# Includes data for items not shown separately.
§ Data for Mar., May, Aug., and Nov. 1990, and Jan., May, Aug., and Oct. 1991 are for five weeks;
other months four weeks.
# The fixed-weighted price 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
tjo 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 1992 SURVEY, data have been
revised back to 1989.
§§ Effective March 1992 SURVEY, the Construction Contracts Valuation Index has a new base year
of 1987. Data have been revised back to 1983 and are available upon request.
