Manufacturing Earnings in BEA Component Economic Areas, 1996
Among BEA component economic areas (CEA'S), the CEA'S with the highest average manufacturing earnings per job are those that have a greater proportion
of manufacturing jobs, have a large, well-educated workforcet and have higher
concentrations of industry clustering. The results from a regression analysis
show that industry mix is the most important factor associated with average
manufacturing earnings per job and that the education level of the workforce
and the extent of industry clustering are also significant.

l\egular features
1

Business Situation
U.S. economic activity picked up in the third quarter of 1998: Real GDP increased 3.3 percent after increasing 1.8 percent in the second quarter. The price
index for gross domestic purchases increased 0.5 percent after increasing 0.4
percent.

6

Motor Vehicles, Model Year 1998
In model year 1998, sales of motor vehicles increased to 15.7 million units from
15.4 million units in model year 1997. The increase was more than accounted
for by another strong increase in sales of new trucks, which reached a record
7.6 million units. Sales of new cars declined for the fourth consecutive year.

13

Comparison of BEA Estimates of Personal Income and IRS Estimates of Adjusted Gross Income: New Estimates for 1996 and
Revised Estimates for 1982-95
BEA'S measure of personal income and the IRS measure of adjusted gross income are reconciled through a series of adjustments for definitional differences
between the two measures. This year's reconciliation reflects the recent annual
revision of the NIPA'S, including the redefinition of dividend payments and the
incorporation of revised IRS tabulations of capital gains distributions.

Gross Product by Industry, 1995-97
The estimates of gross product by industry for 1995-96 have been revised to
incorporate the results of this year's annual revision of the NIPA'S and newly
available source data, and new estimates for 1997 have been prepared. In
1997, durable goods manufacturing and services were the largest contributors
to the ^-percent increase in real GDP; finance, insurance, and real estate and
services were the largest contributors to the i.y-percent increase in the GDP
price index.

Reconciliation of the U.S.-Canadian Current Account, 1996 and
1997
For both 1996 and 1997, the reconciliation of the U.S.-Canadian current account results in a U.S. current-account deficit with Canada that is larger than
the deficit shown in the U.S. published accounts. The annual reconciliation
shows how the current-account estimates would appear if both countries used
the same definitions, methodologies, and data sources.

Personal Income by State and Region, Second Quarter 1998
Personal income in the Nation increased $78.0 billion, or 1.1 percent, in the
second quarter 0/1998. By region, the largest increase was in the Southeast,
which accounted for 22 percent of the growth. By State, the fastest growth in
personal income was in Nevada, Arizona, South Carolina, Utah, and Vermont.
The slowest growth was in South Dakota, Hawaii, New Jersey, and Michigan.

LOOKING AHEAD
New Structures and Equipment by Using Industries. An article that presents the 1992
capital flow table for the United States will be published in the December SURVEY. The
capital flow table, which shows the using industries for each type of new structure and
equipment in gross private fixed investment, is an extension of the 1992 benchmark
input-output accounts for the U.S. economy.
Evaluation of the GDP Estimates. An article that presents the results of a periodic
evaluation of the estimates of gross domestic product (GDP) will be published in the
December SURVEY. The article will examine the record of revisions to the annual and
quarterly estimates of GDP and of national income in order to assess the reliability of
these estimates.

BUSINESS

SITUATION

CONOMIC GROWTH accelerated in the third
quarter of 1998, according to the "advance"
estimates of the national income and product
accounts (NIPA'S), as real gross domestic product (GDP) increased 3.3 percent after increasing
1.8 percent in the second quarter (chart i and
table i).1 Prices increased at about the same rate
as in the second quarter; for example, the price
index for gross domestic purchases increased 0.5
percent after increasing 0.4 percent. Real dispos-

able personal income (DPI) increased 2.6 percent,
the same as in the second quarter, and the
personal saving rate (current-dollar saving as a
percentage of cur rent-dollar disposable personal
income) continued its downtrend, decreasing to
o.i percent from 0.4 percent.

i. Quarterly estimates in the NIPA'S are expressed at seasonally adjusted
annual rates unless otherwise specified. Quarter-to-quarter dollar changes
are differences between the published estimates. Quarter-to-quarter percent
changes are annualized and are calculated from unrounded data. Real estimates are calculated using a chain-type Fisher formula with annual weights
and are expressed both as index numbers (1992=100) and as chained (1992)
dollars. Price indexes (1992=100) also are calculated using a chain-type Fisher
formula.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992 current-dollar
value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more
than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates usually are not additive. Chained (1992) dollar levels and residuals,
which measure the extent of nonadditivity in each table, are in NIPA tables 1.2, 1.4, and 1.6. Percent changes are calculated from
unrounded data. Percent changes in major aggregates are in NIPA table 8.1.

The acceleration in real GDP growth from 1.8
percent to 3.3 percent was more than accounted
for by inventory investment. Inventory stocks
increased $57.2 billion in the third quarter after increasing $38.2 billion in the second; in
the first quarter, stocks had increased $91.4 billion. This pattern of inventory investment added
0.96 percentage point to the third-quarter change

in real GDP after subtracting 2.66 percentage
points from the second-quarter change. Real final sales of domestic product—GDP less change in
business inventories—decelerated to a 2.3-percent
increase, following a 4.6-percent increase.
The largest contributors to the 3.3-percent
third-quarter increase in real GDP were personal
consumption expenditures (PCE) and inventory
investment.2 PCE increased 3.9 percent and con-

tributed 2.64 percentage points to GDP growth;
purchases of services and of nondurable goods
rose.3 The o.p6-percentage-point contribution

United States Enrichment Corporation (USEC) by the Federal Government,

GDP to the quarter-to-quarter percent change in real GDP.

but the composition of GDP was affected. (The USEC performed commercial
nuclear enrichment activities.) Proceeds of the sale totaled $3.1 billion (current dollars), $1.5 billion of which was treated as a sale of financial assets and,
consequently, was excluded from GDP. The remaining $1.6 billion ($6.4 billion
at an annual rate) was the market value of uranium inventories and machinery and equipment. The inventory portion was deducted from government
consumption expenditures and added to the change in business inventories;
the machinery and equipment portion was deducted from government gross
investment and was added to gross private domestic fixed investment.

Third-Quarter 1998 Advance GDP Estimate: Source Data and Assumptions
The "advance" GDP estimate for the third quarter
is based on preliminary and incomplete source data;
as more and better data become available, the estimate will be revised. The advance estimate is based
on the following major source data. (The number
of months for which data were available is shown in
parentheses.)
Personal consumption expenditures'. Sales of retail stores
(3) and unit auto and truck sales (3);
Nonresidential fixed investment Unit auto and truck
sales (3), construction put in place (2), manufacturers'
shipments of machinery and equipment other than aircraft (3), aircraft shipments (2), and exports and imports
of machinery and equipment (2);
Residential investment Construction put in place (2)
and single-family housing starts (3);

Change in business inventories: Manufacturing and
trade inventories (2) and unit auto and truck inventories

(3);

Net exports of goods and services: Exports and imports
of goods and services (2);
Government consumption expenditures and gross investment Department of Defense outlays (3), other Federal
outlays (3), State and local construction put in place (2),
and State and local employment (3);
GDP prices: Consumer Price Index (3), Producer Price
Index (3), U.S. Import and Export Price Indexes (3), and
values and quantities of petroleum imports (2).
BEA made assumptions for source data that were not
available. Table A shows the assumptions for key series;
a more comprehensive listing of assumptions is available
on the Department of Commerce's Economic Bulletin
Board or from BEA.

by inventory investment largely reflected a sharp
reduction in the pace of inventory liquidation
in the motor vehicle industry. (Though inventory investment in the motor vehicle industry
boosted third-quarter GDP, total motor vehicle
output decreased, restraining GDP; inventory investment and output were both affected by a
strike in the industry.) Residential investment
and government spending also contributed to the
third-quarter increase in real GDP. The increase in
real GDP was damped by an increase in imports
and by decreases in exports and in nonresidential
fixed investment.

favorable than in the second quarter. As mentioned earlier, real disposable personal income
increased 2.6 percent, the same as in the second quarter. The Index of Consumer Sentiment
(prepared by the University of Michigan Survey
Research Center) decreased but remained high.
The unemployment rate increased from 4.4 percent to 4.6 percent. In addition, motor vehicle
manufacturers continued to offer attractive salesincentive programs, and interest rates on new-car
loans changed little.
Exports and imports of motor vehicles both
decreased substantially more than in the second
quarter.
Motor vehicle inventories decreased $3.7 billion
after decreasing $22.6 billion; in the first quarter,
they had increased $2.6 billion. For new domestic
autos, the inventory-sales ratio (calculated from
units data) increased to 2.3 at the end of the third
quarter from 1.9 at the end of the second; the
traditional industry target is 2.4.

Motor vehicles.—Real motor vehicle output decreased 6.0 percent in the third quarter after decreasing 11.2 percent in the second; both decreases
partly reflected the strike at a motor vehicle manufacturer from June 5 to July 29. Truck output
accounted for the third-quarter decrease; auto
output increased after three consecutive decreases
(table 2).
Final sales of motor vehicles to domestic purchasers decreased 23.0 percent after increasing
22.9 percent.4
Purchases by consumers, by
businesses, and by governments all turned down.
Consumer purchases turned down sharply even
though the factors frequently considered in analyses of consumer spending were only a little less

Prices
The price index for gross domestic purchases,
which measures the prices of the goods and services purchased by U.S. residents, increased 0.5
percent in the third quarter after increasing 0.4
percent in the second (table 3). The price index
for gross domestic purchases less food and energy

PCE prices increased i.o percent after increasing 0.9 percent. PCE energy prices decreased
5.8 percent after decreasing 7.5 percent, as prices
of gasoline and oil decreased less than in the
second quarter. PCE food prices increased 2.8 percent after increasing 1.3 percent, partly reflecting
step-ups in the prices of poultry and of processed dairy products. Prices of PCE less food and

Motor Vehicles, Model Year 1998
By Ralph W. Morris

OALES OF new motor vehicles in the United
O States totaled 15.7 million units in model year
1998 (chart i).1 This level of sales was the highest
in the current economic expansion, which began in 1991. Sales increased 2.2 percent in model
i. The data on unit sales, inventories, and production in this article
are mainly from Wanfs Automotive Reports and the American Automobile
Manufacturers Association, Inc., and the data on prices are mainly from the
Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA). These data underlie the estimates of
auto and truck output in the national income and product accounts. The
quarterly data for domestic and imported cars and light trucks are seasonally
adjusted by BEA using seasonal factors from the Federal Reserve Board.
For this article, the model year is defined as beginning on October i
and ending on the following September 30. Thus, model year 1998 covers
the fourth calendar quarter of 1997 and the first, second, and third calendar
quarters of 1998. All years mentioned in this article are model years unless
otherwise stated.

year 1998 after decreasing 0.5 percent in model
year 1997. Sales of domestic trucks and sales of
both imported cars and trucks increased; sales of
domestic cars decreased (table i).2
The share of total sales of new motor vehicles
that is accounted for by trucks increased to 48.7
percent in 1998 from 46.2 percent in 1997. This
share has increased every year since 1991, when
2. Sales of domestic vehicles consist of the sales in the United States
of domestic-nameplate vehicles and "transplant" vehicles manufactured
in North America—that is, in Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
Domestic-nameplate vehicles are manufactured at factories owned by U.S.
companies, and transplant vehicles are manufactured at factories owned
by foreign companies.
Sales of imported vehicles consist of vehicles
manufactured outside North America and sold in the United States.

truck sales accounted for 34.4 percent of total
sales.
The relative strength of truck sales reflects the
continuation of a trend in which truck purchases
have been substituted for car purchases. Most
of these purchases are of light truck models—
such as sport-utility vehicles, pickup trucks, and
vans—that include the additional equipment and
refinements usually found in cars but that also
retain many of the functional aspects of trucks,
such as greater passenger, load-carrying, and towing capacity and four-wheel drive capability. The
composition of truck sales has continued to shift
toward upscale models that offer more power,
luxury, and options than the basic models. In
recent years, gasoline prices have remained relatively low and thus have not constrained the sales
of trucks, most of which are fuel inefficient.
The high level of motor vehicle sales in 1998
reflected favorable developments in many of the
factors that are usually considered in analyses
of consumer spending. The unemployment rate
decreased for the sixth consecutive year and
dropped below 5 percent for the first time in
more than 20 years. Real disposable personal
income increased 3.0 percent. The Index of
Consumer Sentiment (prepared by the University
of Michigan's Survey Research Center) increased
to its highest level in more than 30 years. In
addition, consumer spending may have been

November

stimulated in recent years by the considerable additions to consumer wealth that resulted from
rising stock market prices.
Several factors that are specific to the motor
vehicle industry also helped boost sales. Manufacturers offered sales-incentive programs to
consumers throughout the year. Many of these
programs, particularly those offered beginning
in the spring, were more attractive than those
offered in 1997. In addition, several programs
were expanded to cover a broader selection of car
and truck models. Manufacturers' incentives included rebates and below-market-rate financing.
For selected models, manufacturers improved incentives by offering consumers both a rebate
and low-interest financing on the same purchase.
Other incentives included discounts on optional
equipment, such as air conditioning, automatic
transmissions, and power windows and door
locks.
The consumer price index (CPI) for new cars
decreased 1.1 percent in 1998, the first decrease
in 25 years, after increasing 1.1 percent in 1997;
the CPI for new trucks decreased 0.3 percent after
increasing 2.7 percent.3 The decreases in both

of Labor Statistics (BLS). BLS also publishes geometric-mean-type CPI'S as

the geometric-mean-type CPI'S to deflate many of the detailed categories of

car and truck prices were partly a result of the
extensive sales-incentive programs.
Finance terms on new-vehicle loans remained
favorable in 1998. Interest rates on new-car loans
decreased for the third consecutive year: Rates
for new-car loans made by motor vehicle finance
companies averaged 6.3 percent in 1998, down
from 7.9 percent in 1997, and rates for loans made
by commercial banks averaged 8.8 percent, down
from 9.0 percent (chart 2). The sharper drop
personal consumption expenditures, including new autos and trucks. In addition, effective with the release of the January 1999 data, the CPI will no
longer make quality adjustments for changes in vehicles that are made in
response to air-pollution mandates.

in the finance companies' rates partly reflected
the effect of the below-market rates offered by
manufacturers' sales-incentive programs through
their financial subsidiaries.
However, new-vehicle sales may have been constrained by developments in the used-vehicle
sales market. A growing number of 2- and 3-yearold vehicles that had been leased as new vehicles
became available for sale as leasing arrangements expired; this growth reflects the sharp
increase in new-vehicle leasing in previous years.
These used vehicles provide a particularly attractive alternative to new cars because they tend
to have low mileage, to be well equipped with
options, and to be well maintained. The CPI
for used cars and trucks decreased 4.1 percent
in 1998.
Motor vehicle sales may also have been dampened by a tendency for owners to keep their
cars and trucks for longer periods; according to
estimates by R.L. Polk and Company, the average age of cars on the road reached 8.7 years
in calendar year 1997, compared with 7.9 years
in 1991 (data for 1998 are not yet available).
The average age of trucks on the road has increased less dramatically, 8.3 years in calendar
year 1997, compared with 8.1 years in 1991. The
smaller increase in the average age of trucks may
reflect the shift to new-truck purchases from
new-car purchases.

Sales of new cars decreased 2.3 percent to 8.1 million units in 1998 after decreasing 4.6 percent in
1997- The 1998 decrease was more than accounted
for by the decrease in sales of domestic cars;
a decrease in the sales of domestic-nameplate
cars more than offset an increase in the sales
of "transplant" cars. Sales of imported cars
increased.
Sales of domestic cars decreased 3.2 percent to
6.7 million units, the lowest level since 1993. Sales
of domestic-nameplate cars decreased 6.0 percent
after decreasing 8.5 percent. Sales of transplant
cars increased 4.0 percent after increasing 1.4
percent.
Sales of imported cars increased 2.4 percent
to 1.4 million units. Sales of cars imported
from Europe more than accounted for the increase. Despite a strengthening of the U.S.
dollar against the Japanese yen, sales of cars
imported from Japan continued to decrease,
as Japanese firms transfer production of some

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
models from overseas plants to plants in North
America.
The market share (the percent of total new-car
sales) of sales of domestic-nameplate cars decreased to 57.8 percent in 1998 from 60.1 percent
in 1997 (chart 3). The share of transplant-car
sales increased to 25.3 percent from 23.7 percent,
and the share of imported-car sales increased to
16.9 percent from 16.2 percent.
Sales of small cars decreased to 2.1 million
units, and their market share decreased to 25.6
percent from 27.1 percent. Sales of middle-sized
cars increased to 4.1 million, and their market
share increased to 50.8 percent from 48.2 percent.
Sales of large cars decreased to 0.6 million, and
their market share decreased to 8.0 percent from
10.0 percent. Sales of luxury cars increased to 1.3
million, and their market share increased to 15.6
percent from 14.6 percent (chart 4).

November 1998

The average expenditure per new car increased
2.5 percent to $20,787 in I9p8.4 The increase
partly reflected the shift in the market toward
imported cars, which have a larger average expenditure than domestic cars. For imported
cars, the average expenditure increased 6.5 percent to $31,313; the increase was partly attributable
to a shift in the composition of imported-car
sales from small cars to middle-sized cars and
luxury cars. For domestic cars, the average expenditure increased o.i percent to $18,632; the
increase partly reflected increased sales of models equipped with optional equipment, such as
air conditioning, antilock brakes, and power
windows and door locks.
Domestic-car production—that is, cars manufactured in the United States—declined to 5.6
million units in 1998, the lowest level in 7 years.
This low level at least partly reflected strikes by
workers at the plants of a major motor vehicle

4. Using data mainly from the Automotive Invoice Service and BLS, BEA
derives the average expenditure per new car by using average base price and
adjustments for options, transportation charges, taxes, discounts, and rebates
for each model, weighted by that model's share of sales. Movements in the
average expenditure differ from movements in the new-car component of the
CPI for at least two reasons: First, the average expenditure, unlike the CPI
(which is a fixed-weighted price index), reflects changes in the mix of models
and options sold and includes cars sold to businesses and to governments
as well as cars sold to consumers; and second, because the CPI, unlike the
average expenditure, is adjusted to remove the influence of quality change on
prices.
The upcoming change in the CPI for the treatment of pollutionabatement devices will reduce the difference between these two measures (see
footnote 3).

ended in late July.
Domestic-car inventories were 1.2 million units
at the end of model year 1998, slightly lower than
at the end of 1997. The inventory-sales ratio was
2.3 at the end of 1998; the traditional industry
target is 2.4.
By quarter, new-car sales decreased in the first
quarter of the model year and changed little in
the second quarter. In the third quarter, new-car
sales increased sharply as a result of very attractive manufacturers' incentives, and in the fourth
quarter, they decreased sharply (chart 5).

New Trucks
Sales of new trucks increased 7.4 percent to a
record 7.6 million units in 1998 after increasing 4.6 percent in 1997. Sales of light domestic
trucks, light imported trucks, and "other" trucks
all increased.5
Sales of light trucks increased 6.7 percent in

to heavy-duty diesel tractor-trailers.

strength in sales of pickup trucks and sportutility vehicles—especially luxury sport-utility
models—continued in 1998. Sales of vans
contributed slightly to the increase.
Sales of light domestic trucks increased 6.4 percent to 6.5 million units in 1998 after increasing
3.0 percent to 6.2 million units in 1997. Sales of
domestic-nameplate trucks increased 5.5 percent
to 6.0 million units after increasing 2.7 percent
to 5.7 million units, and their share of total lighttruck sales decreased to 83.6 percent. Sales of
transplant trucks increased 16.4 percent to 0.6
million units, and their market share increased
to 7.9 percent.
Sales of light imported trucks increased 10.2
percent to 0.6 million units, and their market
share increased to 8.5 percent of light trucks.
Sales of imported sport-utility vehicles increased
substantially; in recent years, sales of these vehicles may have been boosted by the introduction
of several new models into the small-vehicle segment of the U.S. market. Sales of imported
pickups decreased, largely reflecting shifts in production by foreign manufacturers from plants
overseas to plants in North America.
Sales of "other" trucks increased 19.1 percent to
0.5 million units. Nearly all of these trucks are
purchased by businesses, and domestic models

One factor contributing to the high level of

been the growth in spending on durable goods;

redefinition of dividend payments in personal income, and updated estimates of AGI from the
Statistics of Income Bulletin? As a result of the redefinition, capital gains dividends is no longer a
reconciliation item in tables i and 2, which show
the reconciliation between personal income and
AGI.

2. As part of the 1998 annual revision, dividend payments were revised
back to 1982 to exclude distributions that reflect capital gains income. In practice, the redefinition meant that the capital gains distributions of regulated
investment companies—that is, mutual funds- were excluded from personal
dividend income. The estimates of personal income were also revised back
to 1995 to reflect the usual annual NIPA revisions. For more information,
see Eugene P. Seskin, "Annual Revision of the National Income and Product
Accounts," SURVEY 78 (August 1998): 7-32. For AGI data, see Internal Revenue Service, Statistics of Income Bulletin (Washington, DC: U.S. Government
Printing Office, Summer 1998).

BEA Estimates of AGI
The preparation of BEA estimates of AGI, "BEAderived AGI," begins with NIPA personal income.
Personal income consists of the income received
by persons from all sources—that is, from participation in current production, from both government and business transfer payments, and from
government interest (which is treated like a transfer payment).3 It is calculated as the sum of wage
and salary disbursements, other labor income,
proprietors' income with inventory valuation and
capital consumption adjustments, rental income
of persons with capital consumption adjustment,
3. "Persons" consists of individuals, nonprofit institutions that primarily
serve individuals, private noninsured welfare funds, and private trust funds.

personal dividend income, personal interest income, and transfer payments to persons, less
personal contributions for social insurance.
The IRS measure of AGI is defined as the sum
of all the items of "gross income" less a set of
specific adjustments to gross income that are authorized by legislation. Gross income includes all
income that is received in the form of money,
property, and services and that is not expressly
exempt from taxation; it excludes, for example,
interest on tax-exempt State and local govern-

ment bonds, voluntary contributions to thrift
savings plans, and nontaxable social security benefits. The specific adjustments to gross income
include subtractions for contributions to individual retirement accounts, for alimony paid, for
moving expenses, and for several items related to
self-employment income.
NIPA personal income is converted to AGI by
first deducting those items that are included in
personal income but not in AGI. These items include nontaxable transfer payments, other labor

income, imputations, and other sources of income excluded from the IRS definition of AGI;
they also include adjustments for differences between the accounting treatment used in the NIPA'S
and the treatment specified by Federal tax regulations (tables i and 2, lines 3-9). Next, those
items that are excluded from personal income but
that are included in AGI, such as net capital gains
and personal contributions for social insurance,
are added to personal income (lines 11-15). Finally, an adjustment is made to reallocate certain
income components to make the BEA-derived AGI
comparable with IRS AGI by type of income (lines
17-21 and 25-27) .4

The AGI Gap
The estimates of the BEA-derived AGI differ significantly from the IRS estimates of AGI. The
"AGI gap" is the difference between the total BEAderived AGI (line 22) and total IRS AGI (line 23),
and the AGI gap for each type of income (line 29)
is the difference between the BEA-derived AGI for
that type of income (line 22) and the reallocated
IRS AGI for that type of income (line 28). The
percent distribution of the AGI gap by type of income is shown in line 30, and the relative AGI gap
for each type of income, which is the AGI gap for
that type of income (line 29) as a percentage of
the BEA-derived AGI for that type of income (line
22), is shown in line 31.
The AGI gap results from several sources. First,
there are errors in the source data used to estimate those personal income components that
are not based on IRS AGI data, primarily because
of sampling and other statistical errors. (AGI
data are used only for the estimates of nonfarm
proprietors' income and royalty payments.) Second, there are errors in the reconciliation items
because reliable data are unavailable to estimate
some known items, such as income earned by individuals who are not required to file income tax
returns; because some of the source data used to
estimate known items contain errors; and because
some of the differences between the definition of
personal income and AGI are unknown. Third,
there are errors in the IRS measure of total AGI
and its components because the estimates are
based on a probability sample. Fourth, the estimates of BEA-derived AGI include both explicit
4. For a detailed description of the reconciliation items, see Thae S. Park,
"Relationship Between Personal Income and Adjusted Gross Income: New
Estimates for 1993-94 and Revisions for 1959-92," SURVEY 76 (May 1996):
80-84. However, this article's description of the method used to prepare estimates of the reconciliation items does not reflect the redefinition of dividends
payments (see footnote 2).

and implicit adjustments for tax return misreporting (noncompliance). Explicit adjustments
are made for the effects of tax return misreporting on the source data used to prepare the
estimates of wage and salary disbursements, nonfarm proprietors' income, royalty income, and
personal interest income (line 32).5 Implicit adjustments are also embedded in the source data
used for some components of personal income
because the source data are from the payers of
the income.6 The IRS estimates of AGI are based
on unaudited tax returns that are not adjusted
for misreporting. (However, the sample returns
are edited for consistent statistical definitions and
for incorrect or missing entries in order to make
them consistent with other entries on the returns
and with accompanying schedules.)
Overall, BEA believes that the explicit and implicit adjustments for misreporting account for a
major part of the AGI gap. In 1996, the explicit
adjustments accounted for $299.5 billion of the
$669.6 billion gap. Thus, the AGI gap can be considered a rough indicator of noncompliance with
the Federal tax code, and the relative AGI gap—
the AGI gap as a percentage of the BEA-derived
AGI—can be considered a rough indicator of the
noncompliance rate in the reporting of income
included in the IRS measure of AGI/

The AGI Gap by Type of Income
for 1947-96
Table 3 shows the estimates of the AGI gap for
total income and for each type of income for
1947-96, and table 4 shows the relative AGI gap
for total income and for each type of income for
1947-96. Over this period, the relative AGI gap
for total income declined from about 13 percent
in 1947 to about 9 percent in 1968, and then it increased to about 13 percent in 1993 and remained
at that level through 1996. The relative AGI gap
for wage and salary disbursements is the smallest
5. The major source data for these adjustments are the 1988 Taxpayer
Compliance Measurement Program and Census Bureau "exact-match" files
for 1990. For additional information about the calculation of these adjustments, see Robert P. Parker, "Improved Adjustments for Misreporting of Tax
Return Information Used To Estimate the National Income and Product Accounts, 1977," SURVEY 64 (June 1984): 17-25; "The Comprehensive Revision
of the U.S. National Income and Product Accounts: A Review of Revisions
and Major Statistical Changes," SURVEY 71 (December 1991): 39-40; and "Improved Estimates of the National Income and Product Accounts for 1959-95:
Results of the Comprehensive Revision," SURVEY 76 (January/February 1996):
24-25.
6. For detailed information about the principal source data and estimating methods used to prepare personal income and its components, see
"Updated Summary NIPA Methodologies," SURVEY 78 (September 1998): 14-35
and the text on the CD-ROM State Personal Income, 1929-97; this information
is also available on BEA'S Web site at <www.bea.doc.gov>.
7. The AGI gap does not include adjustments for the misreporting of
types of income excluded from personal income, such as net gains from the
sale of assets, income from small business corporations, and alimony.

November 1998 • 17

For nonwage incomes subject to the requirements for filing information returns, the trend in
the combined relative AGI gap is generally downward (the first addenda item in table 4).9 This
trend is largely offset by a generally upward trend

among the types of income, primarily because income tax withholding at the source is required for
wage and salary disbursements. The relative AGI
gap for wage and salary disbursements declined
from about 3 percent in 1947 to about i percent
in 1982 and then increased to about 5 percent in
1996. The trends in the relative AGI gaps for nonwage incomes largely offset each other (see the
addenda in table 4).

9. The primary examples of these incomes are personal dividend income
and personal interest income. An AGI gap for personal dividend and personal
interest income combined is shown in the table because of the difficulty in
recent years of accurately deriving separate gaps for these incomes. The difficulty is related to the reconciliation item for distributions from regulated
investment companies, which are classified as interest in personal income.
Although the IRS instructs taxpayers to report these distributions as dividends
rather than as interest, some taxpayers may have inadvertently reported them
as interest. Because the amount of this misreporting is not known and because the entire amount of the distributions in personal income is reallocated
to personal dividend income in reconciliation (tables i and 2, line 20), the AGI
gap for personal dividend income is overstated, and the AGI gap for personal
interest income is understated.

8. Wage and salary disbursements accounts for 68.5 percent of the BEAderived AGI, whereas the AGI gap for wage and salary disbursements accounts
for 28.6 percent of total AGI gap for 1996. In contrast, nonwage incomes
subject to the requirements for filing information returns account for 13.7
percent of the BEA-derived-AGi and 19.9 percent of the total AGI gap. For
incomes not subject to the requirements for filing information returns, excluding capital gains and other types of income for which the AGI gaps are
not estimated, the respective percentages are 11.5 percent and 51.5 percent.

1984, decreased to about 50 percent in 1990, and
then increased to about 58 percent in 1996.
The relative AGI gap for total income for 1996
is slightly higher than that for 1995 largely due to
increases in the AGI gaps for wage and salary disbursements, nonfarm proprietors' income, and

combined relative AGI gap for nonwage incomes
subject to the filing requirements declined from
about 39 percent in 1947 to about 17 percent in
1988, increased to about 23 percent in 1994, and
then declined to about 19 percent in 1996,,10

the recipient elects not to have the tax withheld and on interest and dividends
if the recipient fails to furnish a correct taxpayer identification number or
has interest or dividends that were underreported on past returns.

redefinition of dividend payments. For 1995, the
revisions reflect the annual revision to the NIPA'S,
including the redefinition of dividend payments.
In addition, for 1991-94, the revisions reflect the
incorporation into personal dividend income of
revised IRS tabulations of capital gains distributions from regulated investment companies,
which are used by BEA to prepare the estimates
of personal dividend income.
In general, revisions to the AGI gap result from
three sources: Revisions to personal income that
carry through to the AGI gap, revisions to the
reconciliation items that are unrelated to the revisions to personal income or to AGI, and revisions
to AGI that carry through to the AGI gap. For
1995, the AGI gap was revised down $31.2 billion,
reflecting a downward revision of $45.5 billion to
personal income that carried through to reduce

the AGI gap and net revisions of $14.2 billion to
the reconciliation items that are unrelated to the
revisions to personal income (lines 7, 8, 13, 14,
and 15), which carried through to increase the
AGI gap.11 There was no revision to AGI for 1995.
In general, the incorporation of the results of
this year's annual NIPA revision did not change
the trend in the relative AGI gaps for 1982-95.
However, the level of the relative AGI gap for
nonwage incomes subject to the requirements
for filing information returns was revised down
about 3 to 4 percentage points for 1993,1994, and

1995. E2
11. Personal income was revised down $78.7 billion; $33.6 billion of this
downward revision was offset by revisions to reconciliation items directly
affected by the personal income revisions (lines 3-6, most of line 9, line 11,
and line 12), primarily by the redefinition of capital gains distributions from
regulated investment companies. Thus, the revisions to personal income that
carried through to reduce the AGI gap were $45.4 billion.

Gross Product by Industry, 1995-97
By Sherlene K.S. Lum and Brian C. Moyer

HIS ARTICLE presents new estimates of gross
product, or gross product originating (GPO),
by industry for 1997 and revised estimates for
1995-96; it also presents new and revised estimates of gross output and intermediate inputs by
industry.1 The new and revised estimates incorporate the results of the annual revision of the
national income and product accounts (NIPA'S)

released in July 1998 and newly available source
data.2 In addition, this article includes the tables
of GPO prices and unit costs that were first introduced in March 1998 to provide insight into the
sources of change in the aggregate price level by
industry and to identify the sources of GPO price
change among the cost components of GPO.3

i. For the previously published estimates of gross product by industry
for 1995-96, see Sherlene K.S. Lum and Robert E. Yuskavage, "Gross Product
by Industry, 1947-96," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 77 (November 1997):
20-34.

National Income and Product Accounts," SURVEY 78 (August 1998): 7-35.

Gross Product Originating: Definition and Relationship to Gross Domestic Product
Gross product, or gross product originating (GPO), by
industry is the contribution of each private industry and
government to the Nation's output, or gross domestic
product (GDP). An industry's GPO, often referred to as its
"value added," is equal to its gross output (sales or receipts and other operating income, commodity taxes, and
inventory change) minus its intermediate inputs (consumption of goods and services purchased from other
industries or imported).
For the national income and product accounts
(NIPA'S), GDP is measured as the sum of expenditure
components. Gross domestic income (GDI) measures
output as the sum of the costs incurred and the incomes
earned in the production of GDP. In concept, GDP and
GDI should be the same; in practice, they differ because
their components are estimated using largely independent and less-than-perfect source data. BEA views GDP as
the more reliable measure of output because the source
data underlying the estimates of expenditures are considered to be more accurate.1 The difference between
GDP and GDI is called the "statistical discrepancy"; it is
recorded in the NIPA'S as an "income" component that
reconciles GDI with GDP.
Current-dollar GPO by industry is measured as the sum
of distributions by industry of the components of GDI
attributable to labor and property located in the United
States. Consequently, the sum of the current-dollar GPO
estimates also differs from current-dollar GDP by the statistical discrepancy. In presenting the GPO estimates,

the statistical discrepancy is included in the GPO of private industries because of BEA'S view that most of the
measurement problems with the components of GDI affect the GPO of private industries rather than the GPO of
general government or government enterprises.
Real GDP in the NIPA'S is also measured as the sum
of the expenditure components. Real GPO estimates for
most industries are derived using separate estimates of
gross output and intermediate inputs.2 The sum of
the real GPO estimates differs from real GDP by the real
statistical discrepancy, which is shown as part of privateindustry GPO, and by the category entitled "not allocated
by industry," which is the difference between real GDP
and the sum of real GPO for the detailed industries and
of the statistical discrepancy. The value of the category
"not allocated by industry" reflects the lack of additivity
of detailed real GPO estimates that results from the formula used to calculate real output and from differences
in the source data (both current dollars and prices) used
to estimate industry GPO and the expenditures measure
of real GDP. As with the current-dollar measures, BEA
views the source data used to estimate the components
of real GDP to be more reliable. In addition, the amount
of detailed expenditures data available to calculate real
GDP is greater than that for the gross output and intermediate inputs available to calculate real GPO. For some
industries, no source data are available to measure gross
output, and the resulting real GPO estimates are prepared
using less reliable methodologies.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

This comprehensive presentation of these integrated estimates of GPO, gross output, intermediate inputs, and GPO prices and unit costs is the
latest step in the continuing efforts by the Bureau
of Economic Analysis (BEA) to make the industry accounts data more useful. Last November,
BEA presented new GPO estimates for 1996, which
represented a speedup in the availability of estimates for the most recent complete year, and BEA
presented and discussed annual estimates of gross
output and intermediate inputs by industry for
the first time. Future improvement efforts will
focus on the development of measures of gross
output for the industries for which the doubledeflation method is not used to prepare the GPO
estimates and on integrating the GPO estimates
with the benchmark input-output accounts and
with other BEA industry estimates.
This article is presented in five parts. The first
part discusses the relative performance of industries for 1995-97 in terms of real growth rates,
contributions to real GDP growth, industry shares
of cur rent-dollar gross domestic product (GDP),
and the composition of cur rent-dollar GPO. The
second part describes the revisions to the GPO estimates, and the third part discusses gross output
and intermediate inputs by industry. The fourth
part describes GPO prices and unit costs, and the
fifth part discusses the changes to the source data
and estimation methods. The new and revised
estimates for 1995-97 for detailed industries are
presented in tables after the text.

November

Real growth rates
From 1992, the start of the current cyclical expansion, through 1997, the most recent year for
which GDP estimates by industry are available,
real GDP increased at an average annual rate
of 3.1 percent; private industries increased 3.6
percent, and government increased 0.2 percent
(table i). The real gross product of all private
industry groups increased; the increases ranged
from 7.9 percent in durable goods manufacturing
to 1.9 percent in nondurable goods manufacturing. Manufacturing as a whole increased 5.2
percent. Excluding manufacturing, the largest
increases were in trade—5.6 percent in retail
trade and 5.5 percent in wholesale trade—and the
smallest increase was in finance, insurance, and
real estate (FIRE), 2.3 percent.
In 1992-97, at the 66-industry level of detail,
the changes in real GDP varied widely. Seventeen industries recorded average annual increases
of 5 percent or more in real gross product.
Three of these industries recorded especially large
increases: Electronic and other electric equipment (21.5 percent) and industrial machinery and
equipment (14.6 percent) in durable goods manufacturing and security and commodity brokers
(19.5 percent) in FIRE.4 Nine industries recorded
4. Annual and average annual growth rates for detailed industries are
computed from the chain-type indexes that are shown in table 12. Percent
changes in quantity indexes and chained dollars at all levels are the same
and chained dollars are calculated from the quantity indexes. Real GPO estimates in chained (1992) dollars for detailed industries and industry groups

Industry Growth, Shares,
and Composition
The relative performance of particular industries
or industry groups can be assessed by comparing real GPO growth rates, contributions to real
GDP growth, the shares of GDP across industries, and the composition of cur rent-dollar GPO.
Comparisons of the growth rates of real gross
product indicate an industry's performance relative to other industries. Contributions to real
GDP growth indicate the extent that each industry
affected the growth of GDP. Changes in the share
of cur rent-dollar GDP that is accounted for by
an industry's gross product indicate whether that
industry's claim on the economy's resources is
increasing or decreasing. Changes in the composition of an industry's cur rent-dollar GPO indicate
whether the labor and capital shares for that
industry are changing.

decreases in real growth. The largest decreases
were also in durable goods manufacturing: Instruments and related products, down 7.7 percent,
and "other transportation equipment," down 4.9
percent. Real growth in instruments and related
products decreased each year.
In 1995, real GDP slowed to a 2.3-percent increase from a 3.5-percent increase in 1994. The
growth in private-industry real GPO slowed to a
2.3-percent increase from a 4.5-percent increase;
all private industry groups except services contributed to the deceleration. Agriculture, forestry,
and fishing declined 10.9 percent after increasing 16.4 percent. Services increased 3.9 percent
after increasing 2.7 percent. Although manufacturing grew at a slower rate than in 1994,
two of the fastest growing industry groups were
durable goods manufacturing (8.3 percent) and
nondurable goods manufacturing (4.4 percent).
By detailed industry, the fastest growing industries in 1995 were in manufacturing and
services. In manufacturing, industrial machinery
and equipment increased 23.8 percent; electronic
and other electric equipment increased 22.6 percent; food and kindred products increased 18.1
percent, and petroleum and coal products increased 10.2 percent. In services, motion pictures
grew 11.8 percent. Two industries decreased substantially: Farms in agriculture, forestry, and
fishing, down 15.2 percent, and paper and allied
products in manufacturing, down 14.8 percent.
In 1996, real GDP growth accelerated to 3.4 percent from 2.3 percent in 1995. The acceleration
was mainly in agriculture, forestry, and fishing;
construction; transportation and public utilities;
wholesale trade; and retail trade. All industry groups except mining and nondurable goods
manufacturing increased. Agriculture, forestry,
are shown in table 13. For information about the computation of the real GPO
estimates, see the box "Computation of the Chain-Type Quantity Indexes for
Double-Deflated Industries" in Robert E. Yuskavage, "Improved Estimates of
Gross Product by Industry, 1959-94," SURVEY 76 (August 1996): 142.

and fishing grew the fastest (7.6 percent), followed by wholesale trade (6.8 percent); mining
declined 4.2 percent, and nondurable goods manufacturing declined 3.2 percent. The growth in
agriculture, forestry, and fishing reflected large
increases in the gross output and the gross
product of farms. Transportation increased 6.3
percent after increasing 0.8 percent, and wholesale trade increased 6.8 percent after increasing
1.6 percent.
By detailed industry, the fastest growing industries in 1996 were in FIRE and in transportation
and public utilities, and the slowest growing industries were in manufacturing. In FIRE, real GPO
for security and commodity brokers increased
32.8 percent, and in transportation and public
utilities, "pipelines, except natural gas" increased
29.0 percent. The two biggest declines in real
GPO were in food and kindred products, down
16.0 percent, and in leather and leather products,
down 12.9 percent.
In 1997, real GDP growth increased to 3.9 percent from 3.4 percent. The increase reflected
increases in all industry groups. Agriculture,
forestry, and fishing grew the fastest (11.7 percent), followed by wholesale trade (9.3 percent),

real GDP. In 1996, services contributed 0.7 percentage point, and durable goods, retail trade,
and FIRE each contributed 0.6 percentage point.
In 1997, durable goods manufacturing was again
the largest contributor, 0.9 percentage point, and
services was next, 0.7 percentage point.

durable goods (9.1 percent), retail trade (7.2 percent), and mining (6.7 percent). Electric, gas,
and sanitary services (0.5 percent) and nondurable goods manufacturing (1.9 percent) grew
the slowest.
By detailed industry, the fastest growing industries in 1997 were in durable goods manufacturing: Electronic and other electric equipment, up
22.5 percent, and industrial machinery and equipment, up 17.5 percent. These two industries were
also among the fastest growing industries in 1995
and in 1996.

Shares of current-dollar GDP
Shares in current dollars are a better indicator
of an industry's relative size in the economy in
any one period than shares in real dollars, because industry shares in real dollars—whether
using weights from the period being measured
(chained dollars) or weights from a single period
(constant dollars)—depend on the choice of the
base year and therefore are not good indicators
of relative size in years other than the base year.
The share of GDP that is accounted for by private services-producing industries rose relative to
that by goods-producing industries and by government. The share of private goods-producing
industries increased from 24.0 percent in 1992
to 24.2 percent in 1997, and the share of private
services-producing industries increased from 61.3
percent to 63.9 percent (table 3).6 The share accounted for by government fell from 14.0 percent

Contributions to real GDP growth.—An industry's
contribution to the growth of real GDP depends
both on the industry's rate of growth and on
the industry's relative size. (See the box "Using
Chained-Dollar Estimates for Computing Contributions to Economic Growth: A Cautionary
Note.") In 1992-97, durable goods manufacturing was the largest contributor, accounting for
0.8 percentage point of the 3.i-percent growth
in real GDP; services was the next largest, 0.6
percentage point (table 2).5 In 1995, durable
goods manufacturing and services each contributed 0.8 percentage point to the growth in
5. For a description of the calculation of these contributions, see "Note
on Computing Alternative Chained Dollar Indexes and Contributions to
Growth" in J. Steven Landefeld and Robert P. Parker, "BEA'S Chain Indexes,
Time Series, and Measures of Long-Term Economic Growth," SURVEY 77
(May 1997): 63.

fishing; mining; construction; and manufacturing. Private-services producing
industries consist of transportation and public utilities; wholesale trade; retail
trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services.

back to 17.0 percent by 1997, primarily reflecting
nondurable goods.
Composition of GPO
Current-dollar GPO is measured as the sum of
costs incurred and incomes earned in production
in each industry. It is equal to gross domestic income, whose components can be grouped
into categories that approximate shares of labor
and of capital. Differences over time and among
industry groups in shares of labor and capital can be observed using these approximations.
The labor share of production can be approximated using compensation of employees, which

Using Chained-Dollar Estimates for Computing Contributions to Economic Growth: A Cautionary Note
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) measures real output
and prices using chain-type annual-weighted indexes computed with
a Fisher formula. These measures, which were introduced in the
most recent comprehensive revisions of the national income and
product accounts and of the gross product originating by industry (GPO) estimates, allow for the effects of changes over time in
relative prices and quantities. By eliminating the substitution bias
inherent in the previously featured fixed-weighted measures of real
output and prices, these new indexes provide significantly more

NOTE.—Contributions to change are calculated by dividing the change in chained dollars for 1977-32 for
each industry group by the change in chained dollars for GDP. This calculation is performed using chained
(1992) dollars and chained (1977) dollars. This procedure differs from that used for the calculations of contributions to growth shown in NIPA table 8.2.




accurate measures of growth in real GDP and other major economic
aggregates.1
As a convenience for data users, BEA also prepares dollardenominated real output series that are consistent with the chaintype indexes and that retain some of the computational advantages
of constant-dollar series. The real chained (1992) dollar estimates
for a GDP expenditure component or for a GPO industry are derived
as the product of the chain-type quantity index (divided by 100) and
the corresponding 1992 current-dollar value. Because the formula
for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one
period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not
additive.
For many analytical purposes, these chained-dollar estimates are
appropriate and informative. Growth rates and percent changes
based on chained dollars are always equivalent to those derived from
the quantity indexes and can be used confidently over any time period. Contributions to change computed from published chained
dollars are usually appropriate for periods close to the reference
year, especially for components or industries whose prices have not
changed substantially relative to GDP prices.
However, if relative prices for individual GDP expenditure components or for GPO industries have changed substantially, then
calculations of contributions to economic growth based on published chained-dollar estimates may be misleading and inappropriate
even for short periods close to the reference year. Even for highly
aggregated expenditure categories or for industry groups, the calculations will usually be misleading over long periods, because relative
prices are likely to change substantially.
The accompanying exhibit shows the contributions of industry
groups to the change in real GDP for 1977-82 based on chained (1992)
dollars and on chained (1977) dollars. (The period 1977-82 was
chosen for illustrative purposes because it is relatively far from the

2. Comparisons among the chained (1992) dollar estimates of components or industries may be particularly misleading for periods before 1982. For example, during the
World War n era, the share of GDP accounted for by government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased substantially, and prices throughout the economy
were tightly controlled and very different from postwar levels. These changes in the
structure of the economy, while relatively short lived, seriously affect computations of
contributions to GDP growth in this period.

consists of wage and salary accruals, employer
contributions for social insurance, and other labor income. The capital share of production
(property-type income) can be approximated using all the remaining components of GPO except
indirect business tax and nontax liability, which
is treated as a separate cost component because it
is part of the pre-tax return to capital that accrues
to government rather than to business.8 In levels,
these cost components increased for all industry

business transfer payments, and the current surplus of government enterprises less subsidies. Proprietors' income is included in property-type income
as a capital share of production; however, an unknown portion of proprietors'
income represents a labor share of production.

groups, so the changes in shares reflect differences
in growth rates among the cost components.
For the total economy, the share of GDP accounted for by compensation of employees decreased slightly, from 58.4 percent in 1992 to 57.8
percent in 1997, while the share of property-type
income increased from 32.8 percent to 35.2 percent (table 11). The share of indirect business
tax and nontax liability decreased from 8.1 percent to 7.7 percent. In 1992-97, the labor and
capital shares of GPO and the change in these
shares varied among industry groups. For manufacturing, the labor share of GPO declined 4.4
percentage points despite increases in full-time

reference year for published chained (1992) dollars.) Contributions
to the change in real GDP were computed by dividing the change
in chained dollars for an industry group by the change in chained
dollars for GDP for the period. For many industry groups, the contributions are very similar using either 1977 or 1992 as the reference year,
but for some industry groups, they differ substantially. As measured
using chained (1992) dollars, services account for 37 percent of real
GDP growth in 1977-82; as measured using chained (1977) dollars—
a more appropriate (contemporaneous) reference period—services
account for 28 percent. Similarly, the contribution of finance, insurance, and real estate (FIRE) is 39 percent based on chained (1992)
dollars and 31 percent based on chained (1977) dollars. These differences arise because the GPO prices of services and of FIRE increased
substantially relative to GDP prices from 1977 to 1992, whereas the
GPO prices of most other industry groups declined relative to GDP
prices. Thus, using the relative prices of 1992 for services and
FIRE overstates their contribution to real economic growth in the
earlier period.
The contributions to real GDP growth computed from chaineddollar estimates can be misleading not only for industry groups over
long time periods, but also for detailed industries during periods of
rapid changes in relative prices, even for periods that are relatively
close to the chained-dollar reference year. To illustrate, the contributions of detailed industries to the change in GDP for 1997 were
computed using the published chained (1992) dollars and using an
alternative measure based on chained (1996) dollars. For most industries, the alternative measure yields the same or similar estimates
of contributions to real GDP growth. However, for two industries
for which GPO prices have increased much slower relative to GDP
prices—industrial machinery and equipment (which includes computers) and electronic and other electric equipment (which includes
semiconductors)—the contributions are substantially overstated using chained (1992) dollars: For industrial machinery and equipment,
11.6 percent, compared with 8.6 percent using chained (1996) dollars; and for electronic and other electric equipment, 17.5 percent,
compared with 10.6 percent. Conversely, the contribution of the
insurance carriers industry is somewhat understated—2.1 percent,
compared with 2.7 percent—because the GPO price for this industry
increased much faster than GDP prices.
For analyses of contributions to the change in real GDP, BEA
strongly recommends the use of the published contribution-to-




growth tables. Table 2 in the monthly GDP news release and NIPA
table 8.2, which is on page D-25 of this issue, provide accurate measures of the contributions of the major GDP expenditure components
to the percent change in real GDP for all periods; these tables use
exact formulas for attributing growth to the components of GDP.
Table 2 in this article provides estimates of annual contributions to
the percent change in real GDP for industry groups based on approximations to the exact formula. The estimates for each year are
based on the prior year's current-dollar estimates, and the average
annual contribution for 1992-97 is computed as the average of the
annual percentage-point contributions.
For some analytical purposes, it may be desirable to compute contributions to growth for more than a single period or for aggregates
other than GDP. Users can prepare close approximations of these
contributions using chain-type annual-weighted indexes. In effect,
users compute a chained-dollar series for a particular period using
the percent changes in the chain-type annual-weighted indexes to
compute chained-dollar series indexed to the current dollars of the
reference period appropriate for the analysis (see footnote i for a
reference to additional information on these calculations). Another
alternative is to use the same procedure as that used for table 2 in
this article. In table 2, the contributions of industry groups to real
GDP growth for 1993 were computed by (i) extrapolating the 1992
estimates of current-dollar GDP and GPO by the percent changes in
the corresponding GDP and GPO chain-type quantity indexes from
1992 to 1993, (2) calculating each industry group's percentage contribution to the change in real GDP for 1993 based on chained dollars,
and (3) multiplying these percentages by the percent change in real
GDP for 1993. The contributions for 1994 were computed by extrapolating the 1993 current-dollar estimates by the percent changes in the
chain-type quantity indexes from 1993 to 1994. These estimates were
then used to calculate the contribution of each industry group to the
change in real GDP for 1994 based on chained (1993) dollars. As with
the calculations for contributions to real GDP growth for 1993, these
percentage contributions to growth for 1994 were then multiplied by
the percent change in real GDP for 1994. This procedure was repeated
to calculate each industry group's percentage-point contribution to
real GDP growth for each year (1993,1994,1995,1996, and 1997). The
average annual contribution for 1992-97 was then computed for each
industry group as the simple average of each year's percentage-point
contribution.

full-time equivalent employee.9 Despite a longterm decline in labor's share of manufacturing
GPO, labor's share increased 0.2 percentage point
in 1997, the first increase since 1992. In 1992-97,
the capital share of manufacturing GPO increased
5.0 percentage points. For durable goods manufacturing, the labor share dropped 7.0 percentage
points, and the capital share increased by 7.3
percentage points.
The shifts in the labor and capital shares in
mining, in agriculture, forestry, and fishing, and
in wholesale trade were relatively large. In mining, the labor share decreased from 35.2 percent
in 1992 to 29.9 percent in 1997, and the capital
share rose from 53.2 percent to 61.1 percent. In
agriculture, forestry, and fishing, the labor share
increased from 27.3 percent to 32.0 percent, and
the capital share decreased. In wholesale trade,
the labor share decreased from 58.8 percent to
55.2 percent, and the capital share increased from
18.5 percent to 23.2 percent.

Revisions to the GPO Estimates
The revisions to cur rent-dollar GPO and to real
GPO growth rates by industry group for 1995 and
1996 are presented in table 4. The estimates reflect the revisions to the annual NIPA estimates
and the incorporation of new and revised source
data for gross output and prices. The revisions to
the 1995 estimates were smaller than those to the
1996 estimates: GDP was revised up $4.2 billion
for 1995 and $25.6 billion for 1996. The revisions to the 1996 current-dollar estimates reduced
manufacturing's share of GDP by 0.4 percentage
point; this reduction was offset by an increase
in the share accounted for by the statistical discrepancy.10 The real GDP growth rate was revised
up 0.3 percentage point for 1995 and up 0.6 percentage point for 1996. The revisions to real
GPO growth rates for some industry groups were
substantial, but the effects of these revisions on
industry contributions to real GDP growth were
generally small.
Current-dollar estimates

9. For some analytical purposes, the labor and capital shares of gross
output are more appropriate than the labor and capital shares of GPO. For
most industries, particularly for manufacturing, the labor and capital shares
of GPO are larger than the labor and capital shares of gross output, because
gross output also includes intermediate inputs. For example, labor's share of
manufacturing gross output was 22.6 percent in 1997, whereas labor's share
of manufacturing GPO was 63.6 percent.

The revisions to cur rent-dollar GPO largely reflect
the annual NIPA revisions to the components of
10. The share increased because the value of the statistical discrepancy was
revised from —$59.9 billion to —$32.2 billion.

gross domestic income and to the industry distributions of these components. Several of the
income components with larger revisions mostly
offset one another. The revisions to gross domestic income for 1995 include upward revisions
to corporate profits before tax and corporate
capital consumption allowances and downward
revisions to supplements and net interest. The revisions to gross domestic income for 1996 include
downward revisions of $24.6 billion to supplements and of $16.8 billion to net interest and
smaller upward revisions to most of the other
components.
For 1995, by industry group, the largest upward
revisions were to wholesale trade, $7.0 billion,
and services, $5.1 billion. The upward revision
to wholesale trade mainly reflected an upward
revision to indirect business tax and nontax liability, and the upward revision to services mainly
reflected revisions to corporate capital consumption allowances. The largest downward revisions
were to manufacturing, $4.1 billion, and to electric, gas, and sanitary services, $5.0 billion. The
downward revision to manufacturing reflected a
$5.2 billion revision to durable goods, mainly to
net interest and supplements; the revision to net
interest was concentrated in electronic and other
electric equipment and in motor vehicles and
equipment, and the revision to supplements was
concentrated in motor vehicles and equipment.
The downward revision to electric, gas, and sanitary services reflected revisions to noncorporate
and corporate capital consumption allowances.
For 1996, the largest upward revisions were to
communications, $7.2 billion, and to construction, $5.8 billion. The revision to communications reflected upward revisions to net interest
and to indirect business tax and nontax liability. The revision to construction reflected upward
revisions to corporate profits before tax and to
corporate capital consumption allowances.
The largest downward revision for 1996 was
to manufacturing, down $23.0 billion, reflecting large downward revisions to supplements
and to corporate profits before tax and smaller
downward revisions to noncorporate income and
to business transfer payments. These revisions
were partly offset by small upward revisions to
noncorporate and corporate capital consumption
allowances. Durable goods manufacturing was
revised down $11.7 billion, reflecting the large
downward revision to supplements and smaller
downward revisions to net interest, noncorporate
income, and corporate profits before tax; these
revisions were partly offset by upward revisions to

corporate and noncorporate capital consumption
allowances. Nondurable goods manufacturing
was revised down $11.3 billion, mainly reflecting
downward revisions to corporate profits before
tax, noncorporate income, and business transfer
payments.
In durable goods manufacturing, fabricated
metal products were revised down $5.1 billion, reflecting a downward revision to corporate profits
before tax, and instruments and related products were revised up $3.2 billion, reflecting an
upward revision to corporate profits before tax.
In nondurable goods manufacturing, food and
kindred products were revised down $6.6 billion
and chemicals and allied products were revised
down $2.0 billion; both revisions reflected large
downward revisions to corporate profits before
tax.
Real growth rates
The revisions to real GPO growth rates for 1995
and 1996 primarily reflected the revisions to
current-dollar GPO, and they also reflected the incorporation of new and revised source data for
gross output and prices. By industry, the revisions to real GPO growth rates in both years were
generally offsetting. However, the growth rate for

Gross Output and Intermediate Inputs
by Industry
This section presents new estimates of gross
output and intermediate inputs by industry for
1997 and revised estimates for 1995-96. First, it
presents current-dollar estimates of gross output
and intermediate inputs and their relationship
to cur rent-dollar GPO. Second, it presents chaintype quantity indexes for gross output and intermediate inputs and discusses how these indexes
are related to the GPO quantity indexes.
The estimates of gross output and intermediate inputs by industry, which are shown in
tables 14-16, are prepared for those industries
for which the double-deflation method is used
to compute real GPO.11 Gross output by industry measures an industry's total output (sales,
receipts, and other operating income). Intermediate inputs by industry measures an industry's
total use of secondary factors of production (the
energy, raw materials, semifinished goods, and
services that are purchased from other industries
or imported).
Current-dollar GPO by industry is the difference
between an industry's cur rent-dollar gross output
and its cur rent-dollar intermediate inputs. It represents the return to an industry's primary factors
of production (labor and capital), as measured by
its compensation of employees, indirect business
tax and nontax liability, and property-type income. Because GPO excludes intermediate inputs,

method, see Yuskavage, "Improved Estimates " 142-145.

it avoids double-counting in measuring industry
output.
Real growth in an industry's gross output and
intermediate inputs is measured using a chaintype quantity index. Quantity indexes for gross
output and intermediate inputs are computed
from detailed data on sales, purchases, and prices
using a Fisher chain-type quantity-index-number
formula. (Percent changes in the indexes and in
the chain-type quantity index for GPO are presented by industry group in table 5.) Because
industry gross output is produced using both primary and secondary factors of production, the
percent change in an industry's GPO quantity index depends positively on the percent change in
its gross output quantity index and negatively
on the percent change in its intermediate inputs quantity index. The weights of these gross
output and intermediate inputs growth rates are
determined by the relative levels of an industry's
current-dollar gross output and intermediate inputs.12 For example, the 1992-97 average annual
growth rate for telephone and telegraph GPO,
4.4 percent, lags the relatively strong growth in
this industry's gross output quantity index, 8.0
percent, because its intermediate inputs quantity index increased 14.5 percent, reflecting falling
prices for intermediate inputs. Similarly, the
average annual decline of 7.7 percent for instruments and related products GPO results from a
3.o-percent increase in this industry's gross output quantity index that was more than offset by
a 9.8-percent increase in its intermediate inputs
quantity index, partly reflecting falling prices for
semiconductor inputs.

GPO Prices and Unit Costs
This section presents new estimates of GPO prices
and unit costs by industry for 1997 and revised
estimates for 1995-96. First, it presents GPO price
indexes, including a discussion of contributions
to GPO price change and a discussion of the
relationship among GPO, gross output, and intermediate inputs price indexes. Second, it defines
and presents estimates of unit costs by industry.
GPO prices
The GPO price index for an industry represents
the implicit price of its primary factors of production (labor and capital). For most industries
and industry groups, the GPO price index is
12. For the Fisher chain-type quantity index, these weights change each
period.

is an implicit price deflator because of data limitations. The GPO price index estimates are
presented in table 12, and the percent changes by
industry group, in table 6.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
For those industries for which the GPO price
index is computed using a Fisher chain-type
price-index-number formula, an industry's price
index can be used in combination with its quantity index to separate changes in cur rent-dollar
GPO into price changes and quantity changes. For
example, the 1992-97 average annual growth of
5.3 percent in cur rent-dollar manufacturing GPO
can be viewed as the product of a o.i-percent
growth in the manufacturing GPO price index
(table 6) and a 5.2-percent growth in the manufacturing GPO quantity index (table 5)—that is,
1.053 = 1.001x1.052.
The chain-type price index for gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an average annual
rate of 2.2 percent in 1992-97; private industries
increased 2.1 percent, and government increased
3.1 percent (table 6). Among the private industry groups, the GPO price index for durable
goods manufacturing declined 1.3 percent. The
increases in the GPO price indexes for all industry groups except manufacturing and retail trade
ranged from 0.3 percent for electric, gas, and
sanitary services to 4.1 percent for FIRE.
The average annual 1992-97 GPO price change
for private services-producing industries (2.5 percent) exceeded the GDP price change, and the
GPO price change for private goods-producing
industries (0.9 percent) was less than the GDP
price change. The slower growth in the index for
private goods-producing industries than in the
index for private services-producing industries
continues a trend that began in 1982. Exceptions
to this trend were in 1989 and 1996.
In 1997, the GPO price index for private industries increased 1.7 percent, slightly less than the
i.9-percent increase in the GDP price index. The
price index for manufacturing declined, as a decrease in durable goods prices was partly offset
by an increase in nondurable goods prices. The
price indexes for three other industry groups that
are involved in the distribution of goods to customers increased less than the GDP price index
or decreased: Electric, gas, and sanitary services
(1.6 percent), wholesale trade (-1.0 percent), and
retail trade (-1.1 percent). FIRE (5.0 percent) and
services (3.5 percent) were among the industry
groups for which the GPO price index increased
more than the GDP price index.13
Contributions to change.—GPO prices can be used
to assess an industry's contribution to the change
in GDP prices. This contribution depends on

13. The price indexes for FIRE and services are implicit price deflators
because of data limitations.

the industry's size relative to GDP and on the
growth rate of its GPO price index.14 In 1992-97,
the largest contributors to the change in the
GDP price index were FIRE (0.8 percentage point)
and services (0.7 percentage point), both of
which were large and rapidly growing industry
groups (table 7). Government contributed 0.4
percentage point.15 Manufacturing prices were
unchanged, so their contribution to the GDP
price change was o.o percentage point. Durable
goods manufacturing contributed -o.i percentage point; since 1995, the contribution of durable
goods manufacturing to GDP price change has
been negative, partly reflecting the rapid decline in prices for computers, digital telephone
switching equipment, and semiconductors.
14. For a description of the calculation of these contributions, see the reference in footnote 5. The procedure described in the reference was modified
to replace the chain-type quantity index with the chain-type price index.
15. The GPO price index for government is an implicit price deflator computed as current-dollar GPO divided by real (chained-dollar) GPO. For general
government, which includes most of government, current-dollar GPO consists
of compensation of employees and the consumption of fixed capital, which
measures the services of general government fixed assets. Real consumption of fixed capital is estimated by direct deflation using price indexes from
the NIPA'S. Real compensation of employees is estimated by extrapolating
base-year current-dollar values by an indicator of labor input.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Gross output prices and intermediate inputs prices.
—Price indexes for gross output and intermediate inputs, which are presented in tables 15 and
16, are computed from detailed data on sales,
purchases, and prices using a Fisher chain-type
price-index-number formula. Like the relationship among percent changes in the chain-type
quantity indexes for GPO, gross output, and intermediate inputs, the percent change in an
industry's GPO price index depends positively on
the percent change in its gross output price index and negatively on the percent change in its
intermediate inputs price index. The weights
of these gross output and intermediate inputs
growth rates are determined by the relative levels
of an industry's cur rent-dollar gross output and
intermediate inputs.16 For example, the 1992-97
average annual decline of 4.0 percent in the GPO
price index for "pipelines, except natural gas" is
attributable to a i.4-percent decline in this industry's gross output price index and a 2.5-percent
increase in its intermediate inputs price index.
Similarly, the average annual growth of 9.0 percent in the GPO price index for instruments and
related products is attributable to a o.9-percent
increase in this industry's gross output price index and a 3.3-percent decline in its intermediate
inputs price index, partly reflecting falling prices
for semiconductor inputs.
Unit costs
The GPO chain-type price index for an industry
represents the implicit price of its primary factors of production; therefore, an industry's GPO
price index can be used in combination with
its cur rent-dollar GPO components to assess each
component's contribution to total industry labor
and capital costs.17
The GPO measures of unit costs are computed by dividing cur rent-dollar GPO and its
components by real (chained-dollar) GPO.18 The
resulting quotients are the GPO chain-type price
index and the part of the price index that is associated with each component. GPO unit-cost
measures by private industry group are presented
in table 8.19 When the percent change in the unit
cost for a component is greater than the percent
16. For the Fisher chain-type price index, these weights change each
period.
17. See the section "Composition of GPO."
18. Current-dollar cost per unit of real GPO equals the GPO price index
divided by 100.
19. These unit cost measures differ from the unit labor cost and unit
nonlabor cost series published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) because
of differences in the definition of output. See Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics, BLS Handbook of Methods, Bulletin 2490 (Washington, DC:
U.S. Government Printing Office, April 1997).

change in the GPO price index, the relative importance of that component in the industry cost
structure has increased. Percent changes in unit
costs by private industry group are presented in
table 9.
The cost per unit of GPO for private industries
increased 2.1 percent in 1992-97. Compensation

capital costs became a larger part of GPO unit
costs during the period—that is, the return to
capital per unit of gross product increased.
By industry, unit labor costs declined in four
private industry groups: Mining, durable goods
manufacturing, wholesale trade, and retail trade.
Unit labor costs increased in all the other private industry groups. In agriculture^ forestry, and
fishing, in FIRE, and in services, the increases in
unit labor costs were larger than the increases in
total unit costs.
The largest declines in unit labor costs were in
industry groups engaged in the production and
distribution of goods. In manufacturing, unit labor costs declined at an average annual rate of
1.2 percent, compared with a o.i-percent increase
in total unit costs. Unit labor costs in durable
goods manufacturing declined 3.2 percent, while
total unit costs declined 1.3 percent. In transportation and public utilities, the percent changes
in unit labor costs were smaller than the percent
changes in total unit costs; in wholesale trade,
unit labor costs declined, while total unit costs
increased; and in retail trade, unit labor costs
declined, while total unit costs were unchanged.
In 1997, unit labor costs increased 2.1 percent
in all private industries, while total unit costs increased 1.7 percent. Unit labor costs increased
in all private industry groups except agriculture,
forestry, and fishing; durable goods manufacturing; wholesale trade; and retail trade. Unit
labor costs in manufacturing declined o.i percent:
Durable goods manufacturing fell 2.3 percent,
marking the fifth consecutive year that unit labor
costs fell in this industry group, but nondurable
goods manufacturing increased. The largest increases in unit labor costs were in construction,
FIRE, and services. In construction, unit labor
costs rose faster than total unit costs for the first
time since 1992, while unit costs for propertytype income decreased (4.2 percent) for the first
time since 1992.

NIPA'S released in July 1998. These changes include an improved adjustment to remove capital
gains from the trading-account activity of security brokers and dealers, and new gross output
price measures for several services components of
personal consumption expenditures (pcs).21 The
capital gains adjustment affected the estimates
of current-dollar GPO and gross output of security and commodity brokers. The new PCE price
measures incorporated the new geometric-meantype consumer price indexes from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS). These new PCE deflators
affected the estimates of gross output and prices.
For example, the PCE price index for "auto rental,
leasing, and other," which now incorporates the
BLS prices at a more detailed level, was used to

Accounts," 20 and 31.

derive real gross output estimates for the auto
repair, services, and parking industry.
GPO sources
The GPO estimates of real gross output and real
intermediate inputs incorporate BEA'S price indexes for semiconductors and extend them to
1997 using producer price indexes from BLS.22 For
digital telephone-switching equipment, the BEA
price index was extended to 1997 using the price
index developed for the NIPA'S. The new price index that was developed for PCE cellular telephone
services was used to separately deflate cellular
telephone services in the telephone and telegraph
industry.

Not allocated by industry2

1. Equals the current-dollar statistical discrepancy deflated by the implicit price deflator for gross
domestic business product.
2. Equals GDP less the statistical discrepancy and the sum of GPO of the detailed industries.
NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity
index and the 1992 current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the
formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.

Reconciliation of the U.S.- Canadian
Account, 1996 and 1997

Current

By Anthony J. DiLullo and Hugh Henderson

Anthony DiLullo is
the assistant chief
of BEA'S Balance of
Payments Division.
Hugh Henderson
is Chief, Current
Account, in
Statistics Canada's
Balance of
Payments and
Financial Flows
Division. This
article will also be
published in
Canada's Balance of
International
Payments, Third
Quarter 1998.




N THE reconciled basis, the U.S.-Canadian
current account shows a larger U.S. deficit,
or Canadian surplus, than on the U.S.-published
basis for both 1996 and 1997. Compared with
the Canadian published estimates, however, the
reconciled current account shows a smaller U.S.
deficit, or Canadian surplus. The U.S.-published
current-account balance with Canada is a U.S.
deficit of $7.0 billion for 1996 and a U.S. deficit
of $0.8 billion for 1997.1 The corresponding
Canadian-published balance is a Canadian surplus (U.S. deficit) of $13.9 billion for 1996 and
a Canadian surplus of $6.7 billion for 1997. On
the reconciled basis, the U.S. deficit, or Canadian
surplus, is $12.9 billion for 1996 and $4.4 billion
for 1997 (chart i, table i).2
This article presents the results of the reconciliation of the bilateral cur rent-account estimates
of Canada and the United States for 1996 and

2. The reconciled estimates are intended to show how the currentaccount estimates would appear if both countries used the same definitions,
methodologies, and data sources. The reconciliation of the U.S.-Canadian
current account does not necessarily result in revisions to the published
accounts.

that follow this article. Tables 2.1 and 2.2 show
the major types of reconciliation adjustments—
definitional, methodological, and statistical—that
were made to the major current-account components. Tables 3.1 and 3.2 present the published estimates, the reconciled estimates, and the
amounts of the adjustments for each major component. Tables 4-8 present the reconciliation
details for each current-account component.4

3. The reconciliation of the current account has been undertaken each
year since 1970. Summary results of the 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. Complete details of the reconciliations for 1990
forward were published in the following issues of the SURVEY: November
1992, October 1993 through 1995, and November 1996 and 1997. In Canada,
the results were published in the following issues of Canada's Balance of International Payments (catalogue 67-001), 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 1997.

article differ from those in balance-of-payments tables regularly published by
BEA and Statistics Canada.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Reconciled Current-Account Balances
for 1996 and 1997
In the U.S. current account, the reconciliation
adjustments resulted in increases of $5.9 billion in the 1996 U.S. deficit and $3.6 billion
in the 1997 U.S. deficit. In both years, the
changes reflect larger adjustments to the U.S.
southbound estimates (U.S. payments) than to
the northbound estimates (U.S. receipts) (tables
2.1 and 2.2).5 The largest increases in the U.S.
southbound estimates result from the addition
of Canadian reexports to U.S. goods imports
(a definitional adjustment), from an increase
for undercoverage in the U.S. inland freight adjustment to U.S. goods imports (a statistical
adjustment), and from an increase for undercoverage of some services payments (a statistical
adjustment). The largest increases in the U.S.
northbound estimates result from upward adjust5. In this article, the term "northbound" refers to U.S. receipts, or Canadian payments; the term "southbound" refers to U.S. payments, or Canadian
receipts.

ments to investment income for undercoverage
of income on U.S. holdings of Canadian bonds
(a statistical adjustment).
In the Canadian current account, the reconciliation adjustments resulted in decreases of $1.0
billion in the 1996 Canadian surplus and $2.3 billion in the 1997 Canadian surplus. In both years,
the changes reflect larger downward adjustments
to the Canadian southbound estimates (Canadian receipts) than to the Canadian northbound
estimates (Canadian payments). The Canadian
southbound estimates were adjusted downward
to account for definitional differences, mainly
in unilateral transfers; for methodological differences, mainly in investment income; and for statistical differences, mainly in "other" services. In
the Canadian northbound estimates, downward
adjustments for definitional and methodological
differences, mainly in "other" investment income,
were partly offset by upward adjustments for statistical differences, mainly in direct investment
income.

Note on the U.S.-Canadian Current-Account Reconciliation
The U.S.-Canadian current-account reconciliation is
undertaken because of the extensive economic links
between the two countries and the need to explain differences in the published Canadian and U.S. 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.
Differences occur in the bilateral U.S. and Canadian
current accounts as published by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) and by Statistics Canada because of differences in the definitions, methodologies, and statistical
sources used by each agency. In addition, some of the
differences for 1997 are in components of the current account for which data are still preliminary and subject to
revision; these differences may be eliminated when final
data for these components become available. The reconciled estimates are intended to assist analysts who use
both countries' statistics and to show how the currentaccount estimates would appear if both countries used
common definitions, methodologies, and data sources.
The longstanding Canadian-U.S. current-account reconciliation is among the leading examples of the benefits
that can be derived from international data sharing. The
reconciliation process and the exchange of data have
i. A detailed article on the methodology used to reconcile the U.S.Canadian current account was published by BEA in "Reconciliation of the
U.S.-Canadian Current Account" in the November 1992 SURVEY and by
Statistics Canada in Reconciliation of the Canadian-United States Current
Account, 1990-91. Statistics Canada also published a shortened version in
the December 1992 Canadian Economic Observer and in Canada's Balance
of International Payments, Third Quarter 1992.

resulted in greater accuracy of the published estimates of
transactions between Canada and the United States and
in increased efficiency in producing the estimates. The
exchange of data between Canada and the United States
for transactions such as trade in goods, travel, passenger fares, Canadian and U.S. Government transactions,
and some transportation transactions cover more than 80
percent of the value of the Canadian and U.S. current account and has led to the elimination of some differences
in the Canadian- and U.S.-published estimates. Wider
opportunities for international data sharing may result
from the 1997 yearend coordinated benchmark survey of
international portfolio investment that was undertaken
by more than 30 countries, including Canada and the
United States, under the auspices of the International
Monetary Fund.
Although the U.S.- and Canadian-published estimates
are reconciled and there is extensive exchange of data between Canada and the United States, differences in the
published estimates remain. Complete substitution of
reconciled estimates for published estimates and complete exchange of data are not feasible for several reasons.
For trade in goods, imports in the U.S. accounts would
be affected because the United States attributes Canadian reexports to the country of origin rather than to
Canada, the last country of shipment. For some accounts, protection of the confidentiality of source data
bars the exchange of data. Finally, some requirements,
such as valuation adjustments, differ when integrating
the international and national (domestic) accounts in
each country.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Effect of Annual Revisions
on the Reconciliation
Once each year, BEA and Statistics Canada revise their published estimates of international
transactions to incorporate methodological and
statistical revisions. Some of the revisions eliminate or reduce differences in the U.S.- and
Canadian-published estimates and thus have a direct impact on the reconciliation process. For
example, changes in the Canadian-published estimates last year to make them conform more
closely to the International Monetary Fund's Balance of Payment Manual (fifth edition) resulted
in the elimination of four major reconciliation
adjustments.6 This year, several of the revisions
to the U.S.-published estimates have further reduced the number of adjustments needed for
reconciliation.
First, one of the major statistical adjustments
to U.S. southbound estimates of U.S. Government income payments was virtually eliminated,
as a result of the incorporation of the results of
the U.S. Treasury Department's 1994 benchmark
survey of foreign investment in U.S. long-term
securities and a new methodology for estimating
interest payments on U.S. Government agency
securities. Last year, this adjustment accounted
for $1.3 billion of the reconciliation adjustments
for 1996; this year, the adjustment was only $35
million for 1996 and $4 million for 1997.
Second, in the U.S. accounts, the need for
the methodological adjustment (reclassification)
required to reconcile operational leasing was
eliminated. More complete coverage of opera6. See Anthony J. DiLullo and Lucie Lalibert£, "Reconciliation of the
U.S.-Canadian Current Account* 1995 and 1996," in SURVEY 77 (November
1997): 87 and in Canada's Balance of International Payments, Third Quarter
1997- 22-23.

Acknowledgments
The reconciliations were carried out under the direction of Hugh Henderson, Chief, Current Account,
in Statistics Canada's Balance of Payments and Financial Flows Division, and Anthony DiLullo, assistant
chief of BEA'S Balance of Payments Division. At Statistics Canada, Lucie Laliberte, Robert Theberge, Denis
Caron, Rick Murat, and Linda Tasse participated in the
reconciliation of the Canadian accounts; Denis Caron
was responsible for the production and coordination
of the 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;
Gregory M. Fouch, for the accounts related to Canadian direct investment in the United States; Kwok Lee,
for goods; and Michael Mann, for services.

tional leasing and the reclassification of leasing
of transportation equipment without crew to the
"other" private services account from the "other"
transportation account have brought the U.S.
treatment of operational leasing closer to the
current Canadian treatment.
Finally, revisions in 1997 to the Canadian
methodology for compiling data on inland freight
for northbound shipments of goods, which are
the source data for the U.S.-published estimates,
resulted in a reduction in the U.S.-published estimates. These revisions reduced the amount
of statistical adjustment needed to reconcile the
northbound goods account. Last year, the Canadian estimate of northbound inland freight for
1996 was adjusted upward $1.3 billion to reconcile
with the U.S. estimate. This year, the upward adjustment was $0.4 billion for 1996 and $0.5 billion
for 1997.

Manufacturing Earnings in BEA
Component Economic Areas, 1996
By G. Andrew Bernat, Jr.

CONOMISTS HAVE long been interested in why
there is so much geographical variation in
E
wages and salaries in the United States. This
article takes a new look at this question by analyzing manufacturing earnings per job among
BEA component economic areas (CEA'S) in 1996,
the most recent year for which data are available
from BEA'S regional accounts.1
The key findings of this analysis follow:
• High-earnings CEA'S—the one-fifth of CEA'S
with the highest average manufacturing earnings per job—have a greater proportion of
manufacturing jobs than do low-earnings
CEA'S—the one-fifth of CEA'S with the lowest average manufacturing earnings per job.
High-earnings CEA'S also have a higher proportion of their manufacturing jobs in industry clusters, allowing establishments in
these CEA'S to take advantage of benefits associated with clustering, such as economies
in transportation and access to common input suppliers. These CEA'S also have large,
well-educated, and diverse populations from
which to draw their workers.
• Results from regression analysis show that
industry mix is the most important factor
associated with average manufacturing earnings per job in CEA'S. The results suggest
that high-wage industries tend to locate in
regions with clusters of similar industries
and with a large, well-educated workforce.
The association between average manufacturing earnings per job and the mix of
i. CEA'S are the counties or groups of counties that make up BEA'S economic areas. The CEA'S were defined during the 1995 redefinition of the BEA
economic areas. The redefinition procedure consisted of three major elements. The first was the identification of "economic nodes," which are the
metropolitan areas or similar areas that serve as centers of economic activity.
The second was the assignment of counties to CEA'S, where a CEA consists of
a single economic node and the surrounding counties that are economically
related to the node; the primary criterion for determining whether counties
were economically related to a node was the level of commuting between
counties. The third was the aggregation of the CEA'S to the economic areas. For more information, see Kenneth Johnson, "Redefinition of the BEA
Economic Areas," SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 75 (February 1995): 75-81.

regional amenities in CEA'S is weaker, though
significant.2
The remainder of this introduction discusses
why manufacturing was chosen as the focus of the
article and why CEA'S are used in the analysis. The
second section discusses the geographic variation
of manufacturing earnings per job and the factors
associated with manufacturing earnings per job.
The third section discusses the regression analysis. The three appendixes at the end of the article
provide supplementary technical information.
The article focuses on manufacturing because
manufacturing continues to play an important
role in the economy in many areas, despite a
long-run decline in manufacturing's share of the
Nation's earnings and jobs. As measured by share
of total earnings for 1996, manufacturing was the
largest of the n industry groups in 105 of the 348
CEA'S and the second largest in another 87 CEA'S,
and it accounted for at least 25 percent of total
earnings in 94 CEA's.3 Manufacturing's importance to regional economies goes beyond its share
of earnings because it is part of the economic
base in many regions.4 As part of the economic base, manufacturing industries support a
substantial number of jobs in nonmanufacturing
industries through local spending by manufacturing workers and through local purchases by
manufacturing establishments.
Also as part of the economic base, manufacturing may play a unique role in the process of
regional economic growth. Other industries—
such as farming, mining, and producer services—
are often part of the economic base of a region,
2. A regional amenity is a characteristic of a region or location that
people value but that is neither bought nor sold—for example, a pleasant
climate.
3. The other 10 industry groups are farming; agricultural services,
forestry, fishing, and other; mining; construction; transportation and public utilities; finance, insurance, and real estate; wholesale trade; retail trade;
services; and government and government enterprises.
4. The economic base of a region consists of the industries that export
their products outside the region. See Charles M. Tiebout, The Community
Economic Base Study (New York: Committee for Economic Development,
1962) and Gordon F. Mulligan, "Multiplier Effects and Structural Change:
Applying Economic Base Analysis to Small Economies," Review of Urban and
Regional Development Studies 6 (1994): 3-21.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
but manufacturing is viewed by some regional
economists as having the greatest potential to lead
a region's growth because many manufacturing
industries have extensive interindustry linkages,
exhibit increasing returns to scale, and have the
ability to innovate.5
Because of the importance of manufacturing
as an employer of local workers, as part of the
economic base, and as a potential source of economic growth, manufacturing is often the focus
of local economic development efforts. For this
reason, identifying the factors most closely associated with regional manufacturing earnings per
job is relevant to the formulation of local and regional economic development policies. However,
policy prescription is beyond the scope of this
article, which attempts only to provide a broad
overview of some of the key factors associated
with the geographic variation in manufacturing
earnings per job.
Manufacturing earnings is the most widely
used measure of the income generated from participation in current manufacturing production
within CEA's.6 Because manufacturing earnings
per job is correlated relatively strongly with per
capita income (the correlation coefficient between manufacturing earnings per job in CEA'S
and per capita income is 0.60 for 1996), a better
understanding of its variation among CEA'S may
help explain why per capita income varies among
regions, a question of longstanding interest in
economics.7
CEA'S are used in this analysis because they are
large enough to encompass most of the economic
activity in a local area yet small enough to permit
the measurement of relatively local phenomena
that may be important in determining the level
of earnings. Counties are inappropriate for this
analysis because a significant number of workers
commute across county boundaries. As a result
of commuting, the correspondence between per
capita income and manufacturing earnings per
5. R.I.D. Harris, "The Role of Manufacturing in Regional Growth," Regional Studies 21 (1987): 301-312. For similar arguments in a national context,
see Stephen S. Cohen and John Zysman, Manufacturing Matters: The Myth
of the Post-Industrial Economy (New York: Basic Books, 1987).
6. Manufacturing earnings is the sum of three components of personal
income—wage and salary disbursements, other labor income, and proprietors' income. Each of these components is measured before the deduction
of personal contributions for social insurance, which is excluded from personal income. For more information, see U.S. Department of Commerce,
Bureau of Economic Analysis, State Personal Income, 1929-93 (Washington,
DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, June 1995): M-53; and Bureau of Economic Analysis, State Personal Income, 1958-96 [CD-ROM] (Washington, DC:
September 1998).
7. See, for example, Daniel H. Garnick and Howard L. Friedenberg, "Accounting for Regional Differences in Per Capita Personal Income Growth,
1929-79," SURVEY 62 (September 1982): 24-34 and Daniel H. Garnick, "Accounting for Regional Differences in Per Capita Personal Income Growth:
An Update and Extension," SURVEY 70 (January 1990): 29-40.

job at the county level is relatively low because
per capita income is measured on a place-ofresidence basis, but manufacturing earnings per
job is measured on a place-of-work basis. In
contrast, CEA'S are defined in such a way that relatively few workers commute across CEA borders,
so the correspondence between per capita income
and manufacturing earnings per job is relatively
high.
States and BEA economic areas are inappropriate for this analysis because they often include
more than one center or node of economic activity. Recent research indicates that industry
clusters—groups of establishments in the same
industry or in related industries located in close
proximity to each other—play an important role
in local economic growth and in determining the
level of average wages. Using either of the large
geographic units would increase the difficulty
of measuring the association between industry
clusters and manufacturing earnings per job.
Factors associated with the geographic variation
in manufacturing earnings per job
One of the most striking aspects of the U.S.
economy is the wide and persistent variation in
wages and earnings per job among regions, the
subject of many studies over the years.8 Wages
and earnings per job vary substantially among
regions for most major industry groupings, but
for manufacturing, the variation is particularly
large. As shown in chart i, high-earnings and
low-earnings CEA'S are found in every BEA region. In 1996, average manufacturing earnings
per job for high-earnings CEA'S was $51,600, 43.7
percent higher than the average for the middlequintile CEA'S, while the average for low-earnings
CEA'S was $27,100, 24.5 percent lower than the
middle-quintile average (table i).
In theory, such a large range between high- and
low-earnings CEA'S would not exist, because if either capital or labor is mobile among regions, the
mobile factor(s) will move from regions with low
returns to regions with high returns and thereby
reduce the differences in earnings per job.9 While
there is by no means a consensus on all the factors
that contribute to regional variation in earnings
per job, most recent studies have identified three
8. While this study examines earnings per job, most other studies examined hourly wages. See, for example, Edward Montgomery, "Evidence on
Metropolitan Wage Differences Across Industries and Over Time," Journal
of Urban Economics 31 (1992): 69-83 and Stephen C. Farber and Robert J.
Newman, "Accounting for South/Non-South Real Wage Differentials and for
Changes in Those Differentials Over Time," The Review of Economics and
Statistics 69 (May 1987): 215-223.
9. Farber and Newman, "Accounting for South/Non-South Real Wage
Differentials and for Changes in Those Differentials Over Time," 216.

broad groups of factors: Worker characteristics,
regional amenities, and various demand factors.
Over all but relatively short periods of time,
the variation in regional manufacturing earnings
per job is the result of a complex growth process
that involves the interactions among these factors
and among a host of other factors, such as technological change, economic policy, and historical
circumstances. Thus, many of these factors can
be said to contribute to average manufacturing
earnings per job at a point in time, but over
longer periods of time they will be affected by
the level of average manufacturing earnings per
job and by each other. Analysis of this process is
beyond the scope of this article.
Worker characteristics.—Previous studies found
that the most important factors are characteristics of individual workers, such as education, experience, gender, race, health, and
occupation.10 Some of these characteristics—
10. See, for example, Patricia Beeson, "Amenities and Regional Differences
in Returns to Worker Characteristics," Journal of Urban Economics 30 (1991):
224-241; Jennifer Roback, "Wages, Rents, and Amenities: Differences Among
Workers and Regions," Economic Enquiry 26 (January 1988): 23-41: Glenn C.

particularly education—relate directly to a
worker's productivity.11 Occupation, experience,
and health also have clear relationships to an individual's productivity and, therefore, to wages
and earnings. Other characteristics, such as gender and race, have no direct relationship to an
individual's productivity but have nevertheless
been shown to be systematically related to an
individual's wages and earnings.
Regional amenities.—The second group of factors is regional amenities. While many of the
earliest studies of regional wage variation focused primarily on worker characteristics, most
of the recent research follows a hedonic approach,
first used by Sherwin Rosen, in which regional

between education and earnings is due to education providing skills that increase the productivity of an individual or whether the educational level is a
screening device for identifying more capable individuals.

amenities play an important explanatory role.12
Climate is perhaps the most obvious example of
a regional amenity; other examples include proximity to beaches and mountains or proximity
to cultural and entertainment facilities, such as
museums, theaters, and shopping districts.13
According to Rosen's hedonic model, workers choose a location for their residence based
on their preferences for the bundle of characteristics associated with each location. A worker
who places a relatively high value on a particular amenity will favor locations with a high value
of the amenity, even if wages are lower than at
other locations. For example, a location with a
warm climate will attract workers with a strong
preference for warm weather. If enough workers
are attracted to the location because of its warm
climate, labor supply will rise relative to colder
but otherwise similar locations, resulting in lower
wages than at the colder locations.14 In the case

Current Issues in Urban Economics, ed. P. Meiszkowski and M. Strazheim
(Baltimore, MD: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1979): 74-104.
13. Economists distinguish between pure amenities, such as natural characteristics of a location that do not change, and produced amenities, such as
good schools, which may change. See Joseph Gyourko and Joseph Tracy, "The
Importance of Local Fiscal Conditions in Analyzing Local Labor Markets,"
Journal of Political Economy 91 (1988): 1208-1231.
14. High-amenity locations may also tend to have higher land rents than
low-amenity locations because the additional population attracted to a location by the amenity leads to a bidding up of land rents. There is some
evidence that ignoring the effect of amenities on land rents may bias estimates
of the value of the amenities downward; see Philip E. Graves and Donald
M. Waldman, "Multimarket Amenity Compensation and the Behavior of the
Elderly," American Economic Review 81 (1991): 1374-1381. However, this bias
may only be important for smaller geographic areas such as cities and coun-

of a disamenity—for example, a high crime rate
or air pollution—wages will tend to be higher
in locations with high disamenities than in other
locations because employers will have to offer relatively high wages to compensate workers for the
presence of the disamenities.
Regional amenities contribute to regional variation in earnings per job because amenities are
distributed unevenly across the country and are
valued unequally by workers. Workers with a
given set of characteristics who value a particular amenity will accept lower earnings per job to
work in an area with high levels of that amenity,
while workers who do not value the amenity
will tend to work for higher earnings per job in
locations with lower values of the amenity. Consequently, earnings per job are expected to be
lower in high-amenity areas than in low-amenity
areas, all other factors being equal.15
Demand factors.—The third group of factors is
included to account for regional differences in
the demand for workers that have different characteristics. One of the most important demand
factors is the mix of industries in the region. Because earnings per job differ substantially among
industries, regions with a high proportion of jobs
in high-wage industries will have higher overall
ties; for example, see J. Vernon Henderson, "Evaluating Consumer Amenities
and Interregional Welfare Differences," Journal of Urban Economics 11 (1982):
32-5915. The regional difference in wages for workers of similar characteristics
is often used as a measure of the value of amenities.

earnings per job than will regions with a large
proportion of jobs in low-earnings industries.
Previous studies used highly aggregated industry
groups to account for industry mix and found
a significant relationship between an individual's
wages and the industry in which the individual
worked.16
A second demand factor is the unemployment
rate. It is often assumed that a high unemployment rate in a region indicates that labor
supply exceeds labor demand, implying a negative relationship between earnings per job and the
unemployment rate. At any given time, however,
the relationship between earnings per job and the
unemployment rate may be positive because labor markets adjust slowly.17 One reason regional
labor markets adjust slowly is that it takes time
for workers to find new jobs or to move to another region. In addition, a region will have
high average wages and a high unemployment
rate if recently unemployed workers remain unemployed in the hope that a high-wage job will
become available, rather than taking a low-wage
job or migrating to another region, as economic
theory suggests.18
A third demand factor is the relative productivity of the regional labor force. One potential
source of productivity differences is the quality
of the regional labor force, which reflects the
characteristics of the workers. Another source
of productivity differences is the agglomeration
of economic activity, which is defined as the
geographic concentration of a large number of
establishments. For example, a city is an agglomeration of establishments in a wide variety of
industries. Another type of agglomeration is an
industry cluster, which is defined as an agglomeration of establishments in the same or related
industries. To the extent that agglomerations
raise output per worker, agglomeration will affect
the regional variation in earnings per job because
of the positive relationship between productivity
and earnings.19
Regression analysis

used to measure the association between aver16. For example, Beeson, in "Amenities and Regional Differences" used
three broad industries (manufacturing, government, and construction) to
represent industry mix.

Lawrence F. Katz, "Regional Evolutions," Brookings Papers on Economic
Activity i (1992).

age manufacturing earnings per job in CEA'S and
characteristics of CEA'S. The analysis largely follows earlier studies, with three major differences.
First, only manufacturing is examined, rather
than all industries. Second, the dependent variable in the regression is average earnings per job
for each CEA rather than hourly wages for workers, as in most previous studies. Earnings per
job is a more comprehensive measure of labor
compensation than wages per hour because it
includes proprietors as well as wage and salary
workers. In addition, data on earnings per job
are available for all CEA'S, whereas data on hourly
wages are unavailable for many sub-State regions.
The disadvantages of earnings per job are that it
does not account for differences in hours worked
and that it includes both full-time and part-time
jobs.
Third, the unit of analysis for this article is
the CEA, whereas the unit of analysis in most
previous studies was the individual worker. As
a result, all regions of the United States can
be included in the analysis. In contrast, most
previous studies use data only for metropolitan areas because the survey data that must be
used in order to focus on individual workers are
available only for metropolitan areas and States.
However, use of the CEA'S means that it is not
possible to match the characteristics of individual workers with their earnings. Consequently,
the variables representing individual characteristics do not have as much explanatory power as
in previous studies.
The remainder of this section describes the
variables used in estimating the regression model.
Worker characteristics.—Four variables representing worker characteristics are used in this analysis. The first two, the proportion of the
working-age population (persons 25 years or
older) without a high school education and the
proportion with a college degree, relate directly
to the educational attainment of workers. The
other two variables, the percentage of the CEA'S
population that is nonwhite and the percentage
of the CEA'S civilian workforce that is female, are
included because previous studies of individual
workers have shown these two variables to be
significantly related to a worker's wages.
Table i shows that high-earnings CEA'S have a
slightly better educated work force than other
CEA's.20 The average proportion of working-age
adults without a high school education ranged
20. The data are from USA Counties, 1996 [CD-ROM] (Washington, DC:
Bureau of the Census, May 1997).

from 22.7 percent in high-earnings CEA'S to 29.7
percent in low-earnings CEA'S. The proportion
of working-age adults with a college education
showed a relatively stronger contrast: 21.0 percent in high-earnings CEA'S, compared with 15.1
percent for low-earnings CEA'S. The proportion
of total population that is nonwhite declines from
the top quintile to the middle quintile and then
increases from the middle quintile to the bottom
quintile. The proportion of the workforce that
is female shows little or no systematic variation
among the five quintile averages.

Regional amenities.—Because economic theory
gives little guidance on which amenity variables
should be included in this type of study, many
different amenity variables have been used in previous studies. The amenity variables included
in this study, representing five pure amenities and two produced amenities, were chosen
based on the availability of data for all CEA'S
and on the results of previous studies. The
pure amenities are cooling-degree days, average
January temperature, average July temperature,
average annual precipitation, and average elevation.21 Of these variables, only average elevation
exhibits a systematic relationship with the average
manufacturing earnings by quintile.
The produced-amenity variables are average
number of serious crimes per 10,000 population
and average commuting time. The quintile with
the highest average manufacturing earnings per
job had the highest crime rate, and the lowest
quintile had the lowest crime rate. The average
length of commute declined with quintile, with
the highest quintile having the longest average
commuting time.
Demand factors.—The six variables representing
demand factors are industry mix, manufacturing's share of total jobs, the unemployment rate,
population, population density, and the share of
manufacturing jobs in industry clusters. The
industry-mix variable is constructed in the following way. First, average wages and salaries per
job by manufacturing industry at the national
level is calculated using data on employment and
on wages and salaries for four-digit Standard
21. A cooling-degree day is a day in which the average temperature is one
degree above the reference temperature of 65 degrees. Cooling degree days
are commonly used in studies of regional wage variation as a broad measure
of climate throughout the year, while average January and July temperatures
are included to account for seasonal extremes. The data for cooling degree
days, average annual rainfall, serious crimes per 10,000 people, and average
commuting time are from the Bureau of the Census' USA Counties, 1996.
Average January and July temperatures and average elevation were calculated
from historical climate data from the U.S. Historical Climatology Network,
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Industrial Classification (sic) industries.22 The
earnings-per-job estimates from BEA'S regional
accounts are not used, because these estimates are
available only for two-digit sic industries.
Second, for each CEA, the number of jobs in
each manufacturing industry is multiplied by the
national-average rate for wages and salaries per
job in that industry. The results are summed to
arrive at an estimate of what total manufacturing
wages and salaries would have been for the CEA if
the national-average rate for each industry were
paid. This estimate is divided by total manufacturing jobs in the CEA to arrive at an estimate
of average wages and salaries per job at nationalaverage rates (henceforth called the industry-mix
wages and salaries per job).
Table i shows that high-earnings CEA'S have
higher average industry-mix wages and salaries
than low-earnings CEA'S. However, the range in
industry-mix wages and salaries between highand low-earnings CEA'S is much narrower than
the range in earnings per job, indicating that
industry mix does not explain all the regional
variation in earnings per job.
Manufacturing's share of total jobs in a CEA is
included to account for the industry composition
of the overall CEA economy and is similar to the
industry-mix variables used in previous studies.
Manufacturing industries employed a larger share
of the labor force in high-earnings CEA'S than in
low-earnings CEA'S: 25 percent of total jobs in
high-earnings CEA'S compared with 15 percent in
low-earnings CEA'S.
The unemployment rate is included to account
for imbalances in labor supply and demand. The
average unemployment rate increases from a low
of 5.3 percent in high-earnings CEA'S to a high of
6.3 percent in low-earnings CEA'S.
The remaining three variables are intended to
measure the effects of agglomeration on manufacturing earnings per job. Following relatively standard practice, population is used to
22. The data used in constructing the industry-mix variable are based on
special internal tabulations of data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for BEA'S use in constructing its regional accounts. The data are
summarized by county and by four-digit sic industry on form £8-202 by
the State employment security agencies (ESA'S). Each quarter, the ESA'S send
these data to BLS, which edits the data and makes the tabulations available to
BEA. The summarized data are from quarterly State unemployment insurance
(ui) contribution reports, which are filed with an ESA by the employers in
the industries that are covered by, and subject to, that State's ui laws. Under
most of these laws, wages and salaries include bonuses, tips, and the cash
value of meals and lodging provided by the employer—that is, pay-in-kind.
Unlike the earnings-per-job data, these data do not cover proprietors. For
more information, see Bureau of Economic Analysis, State Personal Income,
1929-93, M-8—M-2i; and Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), Regional Economic Information System, 1969-96 [CD-ROM] (Washington, DC: BEA, May
1998).

account for urbanization economies.23 As expected, high-earnings CEA'S were more populous
than low-earnings CEA'S: High-earnings CEA'S
had an average population of 1,414,700, compared with an average of 289,600 for low-earnings
CEA'S. In order to account for the wide range
in both population and geographic size of CEA'S,
population per square mile is also included;
as expected, high-earnings CEA'S had substantially higher average population density than
low-earnings CEA'S.
Localization economies are represented by the
share of CEA manufacturing employment in
an industry cluster, where clusters were identified using the local Moran statistic.24 As
table i shows, high-earnings CEA'S have a substantially higher proportion of manufacturing
jobs in clusters than low-earnings CEA'S: For
high-earnings CEA'S, the average is 48.9 percent;
for low-earnings CEA'S, it is only 6.2 percent.
The final group of variables included in the
regression are dummy variables representing the
location of each CEA in terms of the eight BEA
regions. These variables are included to account
for differences unaccounted for by the other variables but that are systematically related to the
broad geographic location of each CEA.
CEA characteristics associated with
manufacturing earnings per job
Table 2 summarizes the regression results, presenting only the variables that were statistically
23. Many researchers use population and population density in studies
of agglomeration economies, though some researchers have criticized their
use. For a discussion, see Ronald Moomaw, "Is Population Scale a Worthless
Surrogate for Business Agglomeration Economies?" Regional Science and
Urban Economics 13 (1983): 525-545.

significant (for more detailed results, see appendix C). The third column shows the value
of the estimated coefficient for each explanatory
variable. These coefficients indicate the change
in average manufacturing earnings per job in a
CEA that would be associated with a one-unit
change in the row variable, holding all other
variables constant. For example, an increase
of i percentage point in the proportion of the
working-age population with at least a college
degree is associated with an increase of $192 in
average manufacturing earnings per job. Because
the dependent variables are measured in different
units, the estimated coefficients do not provide a
good basis for comparison.
One way to assess the relative effects of the dependent variables is to calculate elasticities from
the regression coefficients. An elasticity shows
the percent change in one variable that is associated with a i-percent change in another variable.
The elasticities of average manufacturing earnings per job with respect to the explanatory
variables, evaluated at the average values of the
explanatory variables, are presented in the fourth
column. Industry mix has by far the largest
elasticity: A i-percent change in industry-mix
wages and salaries is associated with a 2.3-percent
change in average manufacturing earnings per
job. However, even though the elasticities are
in the same units (percent), comparisons may
be misleading because some of the explanatory
variables have a much larger range (difference between the highest and lowest value) than others.
Consequently, a i-percent change in a variable
with a small range represents a much larger proportionate change than does a i-percent change
in a variable with a large range. For example, a
i-percent increase in the industry-mix wages and

salaries for a CEA with the all-CEA average is equal
to 2.7 percent of its total range while a i-percent
change in the proportion of manufacturing jobs
in clusters for a CEA with the all-CEA average is
equal to only 0.3 percent of this variable's total
range.
To account for these very different variances,
"beta coefficients" were calculated. Beta coefficients indicate the effect that a change of i
standard deviation in an explanatory variable has
on the dependent variable, in this case manufacturing earnings per job.25 The beta coefficients
are presented in the fifth column, in dollars of
manufacturing earnings per job.

Worker characteristics.—Both education variables
were statistically significant and had the expected
signs. The coefficient of 0.192 on the percent of
the working-age population with a college degree
indicates that an increase of i percentage point
in this proportion is associated with a $192 increase in average manufacturing earnings per job,
while a i-percent increase in the percent of the
work-age population that did not complete high
school is associated with a $148 decrease in average manufacturing earnings per job. However,
the positive association between manufacturing
earnings per job and the percent of the labor force
that is nonwhite is the opposite of what other
studies have found.
The beta coefficients indicate relatively larger
effects than the estimated coefficients. For instance, a i-standard-deviation increase in the
college proportion would be associated with a
$1,030 increase in average manufacturing earnings per job, compared with a $1,050 decrease for
a i-standard-deviation increase in the proportion
of the working-age population without a high
school education.
Regional amenities.—The results on regional
amenities, consistent with previous studies, indicates that warmer climates are associated with
lower earnings per job. Average January temperature and average elevation are the two pure
amenities that were statistically significant. A
higher average January temperature is associated
with lower average manufacturing earnings per
job ($120 lower for a i-degree increase and $1,540
for a i-standard-deviation increase). A loo-foot
increase in average elevation is associated with a
25. The standard deviation is the most widely used statistical measure of
the variation of a variable. A variable has a large standard deviation if many
observations are much greater or much smaller than the average value. A
variable has a small standard deviation if all observations are close to the
average value. For more information about beta coefficients, see Robert
Pindyck and Daniel Rubinfeld, Econometric Models and Economic Forecasts
(New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1976).

$100 decrease in manufacturing earnings per job,
while a i-standard-deviation increase is associated
with a $1,340 decrease.
As expected, higher crime rates are associated
with higher earnings per job. A i-percentagepoint increase in the crime rate is associated with
a $329 increase in average manufacturing earnings
per job, and a i-standard-deviation increase in
the crime rate is associated with a $710 increase.
Demand factors.—The results of this study, unlike
those of studies of individual workers, indicate
that industry mix is the factor most strongly associated with average manufacturing earnings per
job. The regression coefficient on the industrymix variable indicates that a $1,000 increase
in industry-mix wages and salaries would be
associated with a $2,452 increase in manufacturing earnings per job. The associated elasticity
is 2.3, and the beta coefficient indicates that
a i-standard-deviation increase in industry-mix
wages and salaries would be associated with a
$5,380 increase in manufacturing earnings per
job.
The regression coefficients for all the other
demand factors except the unemployment rate
were also statistically significant. The population
variables indicate that larger, more densely populated CEA'S have higher earnings per job, even
after accounting for other factors. Manufacturing earnings per job are also higher in CEA'S in
which manufacturing accounts for a large share
of total jobs. A i-percentage-point increase in the
share of manufacturing jobs is associated with
a $273 increase in manufacturing earnings per
job, while a i-standard-deviation increase is associated with a $2,680 increase in earnings per
job. Industry clusters are also associated with
higher average earnings per job; a i-percentagepoint increase in the share is associated with
a $24 increase in earnings per job, while a istandard-deviation increase is associated with a
$760 increase in earnings per job.
Regional effects.—None of the regional dummy
variables were statistically significant, indicating
that no statistically significant regional variation
remains after accounting for the other variables
included in the regression analysis.
Appendix A: Agglomeration and industry
clusters
Agglomerations exist for a variety of reasons. Establishments may cluster near input suppliers to
reduce the transportation costs associated with
acquiring inputs or near customers to reduce

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
transportation costs related to the distribution of
their products to customers. Establishments may
also locate in clusters if establishments located
in clusters are more productive than establishments outside of clusters. Productivity will be
higher in clusters if there are external economies
associated with clustering or "clustering-related
externalities," which are factors that are beyond
the control of the establishment but that affect
the productivity of capital, labor, or both. To the
extent that clustering-related externalities raise
output per worker, clustering will affect the regional variation in earnings per job because of the
positive relationship between productivity and
earnings.
Economists distinguish two types of clusteringrelated externalities: Those associated with the
size and diversity of the local economy, called
urbanization economies, and those associated
with the clustering of similar industries, called
localization economies.
Urbanization economies raise the productivity
of establishments because a large local economy
will tend to have a large, diverse labor force
and a wide range of services and input suppliers. The availability of a diverse labor force raises
average labor productivity by increasing the likelihood that the demands for different types of
labor can readily be satisfied from the local labor
market. A large local market makes it possible
for input suppliers to specialize, raising overall
productivity.
Localization economies raise productivity in at
least two ways. First, the local labor market for
an industry cluster is more likely to have a pool of
workers with specialized skills than would the labor market for a relatively isolated establishment.
The larger pool of skilled labor increases the likelihood that an establishment in the cluster will
be able to hire workers with exactly the needed
skills, when the workers are needed. The better
matching of workers and jobs results in higher
average labor productivity, all other things being equal. In addition, recent research indicates
that the higher the quality of the overall labor
force, the faster workers gain skills they need.27
To the extent this is true, workers in clusters will

be more skilled and hence more productive than
otherwise similar workers not in clusters.
Second, establishments located in clusters are
likely to have better access to information about
markets and technology than are establishments
located in relative isolation because of what are
called "knowledge spillovers" from nearby establishments. The term "knowledge spillover"
refers to the spread from one firm or establishment to another of information about technology
or markets. For example, suppose a firm develops an improved method of producing a
particular product. A knowledge spillover occurs when other firms find out about the new
method and use it to improve their production process. Because many knowledge spillovers
occur informally—for example, when workers
employed by the innovating firm take jobs at
other firms—they are more likely to occur among
establishments located in clusters than among
isolated establishments.
When knowledge spillovers occur, innovations
spread among establishments, raising the productivity of both capital and labor throughout the
cluster. Commonly cited examples of this type
of clustering are the computer and related establishments in the Silicon Valley of California
and the Route 128 corridor in Massachusetts, the
financial district in New York City, and carpet
manufacturers in Dalton, Georgia.
Appendix B: Measuring dusters
The concept of an industry cluster involves the
establishments' proximity to one another, while
the concept of agglomeration economies involves
both proximity and the extent to which establishments are affected by nearby establishments. The
local Moran statistic, or "local Moran," which
measures whether "neighbors" of a given spatial
unit have higher or lower values than would be
expected from a random distribution of values,
was used to measure the proximity of establishments.28 The local Moran for a given industry is
calculated using the following formula:

i - x)

where LMi is the local Moran for county i\
X{ and Xj are the number of establishments in
counties i and j, respectively; Jc is the mean

less apart, the corresponding element of iv is
equal to one. If the counties are not neighbors,
the element of w is zero. The spatial weights
matrix used in calculating the local Moran is normalized so that the sum of each row is equal
to one.

Measuring the extent to which nearby establishments affect each other is a more difficult task
because there are so many ways this can occur.
Input-output accounts show which industries are
closely linked in terms of input purchases, but as
yet no satisfactory measure has been developed
that combines this information with a measure
of spatial proximity.
The cluster variable used in the regression was
constructed in the following way. First, the local Moran was calculated for each county and
industry. If the local Moran for a given county
and industry was statistically significant, then the
county was considered part of a cluster for that
industry, and all jobs in the county for that industry were considered to be in the cluster. Second,
the total number of jobs in clusters in all counties within a given CEA were summed. Third,
this sum was divided by the number of manufacturing jobs in the CEA to yield the share of
total manufacturing jobs for that CEA that are in
clusters.
Appendix C: Regression results

The regression equation was estimated using ordinary least squares. The adjusted R-squared
was 0.83, and the F-statistic was 71.1, which is
significant at the i-percent level. One regional
dummy variable—for the Great Lakes region—is
omitted, as required for regressions with dummy
variables. Even though many of these variables are interrelated, standard tests indicated
that the results were not significantly affected by
either multicollinearity or spatial autocorrelation,
two commonly encountered problems with this
type of regression analysis. The results of the
regression are summarized in table 3. £3

Personal Income by State and Region,
Second Quarter 1998
By Duke Tran

The quarterly
estimates of State
personal income
are prepared by the
Regional Economic
Measurement
Division.




N THE second quarter of 1998, U.S. personal
income increased $78.0 billion, or 1.1 percent
(table A).1 By region, the largest increase was in
the Southeast, which accounted for 22 percent of
the growth (chart i). This increase was largely
accounted for by Florida, Georgia, Virginia, and
North Carolina. By State, California accounted
for the largest share (16 percent) of the increase
in U.S. personal income.
By type of income, most of the increase in U.S.
personal income was accounted for by a $62.1
billion increase in net earnings.2 Dividends, interest, and rent increased $9.1 billion, and transfer
payments increased $6.8 billion.
U.S. earnings by place of work increased $66.3
billion (table B). Earnings increased in all the
industries except manufacturing; the largest increases were in services ($27.6 billion) and finance, insurance, and real estate ($10.7 billion).
The decline in manufacturing earnings partly reflected the effects of a strike in the motor vehicle
industry.
Table i at the end of this article presents the
quarterly estimates of personal income for each
State and region, beginning with the first quarter
of 1995. Table 2 presents the quarterly estimates of personal income by major source and
of earnings by Standard Industrial Classification
division, beginning with the first quarter of 1997.

The quarterly estimates of State personal income have been revised back to the first quarter
of 1982 to incorporate the results of the annual
revision of the State estimates that were presented in the October 1998 SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS.3

Growth rates by type of income, by industry,
and by region
The second-quarter growth in personal income
of 1.1 percent was smaller than the i.4-percent
growth rate in the first quarter.4 By type of income, growth decelerated in transfer payments
(from 1.6 percent to 0.6 percent) and in net earnings (from 1.7 percent to 1.3 percent); growth
accelerated in dividends, interest, and rent (from
0.3 percent to 0.8 percent). In the first quarter,
transfer payments had been boosted by costof-living adjustments to benefits under social
3. See Bailey, "State Personal Income," 20-41.
4. In this article, the percent changes are expressed at quarterly rates.

CHART 1

Regional Shares of the U.S. Dollar Change
in Personal Income, 1998:1-1998:11
(U.S. dollar change=$78 billion)

1. This estimate of personal income for the Nation is derived as the
sum of the State estimates; it differs from the estimate of personal income
in the national income and product accounts (NIPA'S) because of differences
in coverage, in the methodologies used to prepare the estimates, and in the
timing of the availability of source data. For a detailed description of the
differences, see the box "Relation of Personal Income in the National Income
and Product Accounts (NIPA'S) and in the State Personal Income Series" in
Wallace K. Bailey, "State Personal Income, Revised Estimates for 1982-97,"
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 78 (October 1998): 21.
2. Net earnings are by place of residence and are calculated as earnings
by place of work less personal contributions for social insurance plus an adjustment that converts these earnings to a place-of-residence basis. Earnings
by place of work is the sum of wage and salary disbursements (payrolls),
other labor income, and proprietors' income.
Net earnings is often used to analyze changes in the composition of
personal income; earnings by place of work is often used to analyze changes in
the industrial structure of earnings. For the definitions of the components of
earnings, see U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis,
State Personal Income, 1929-93 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing
Office, 1995), or go to BEA'S Web site at <www.bea.doc.gov/bea/mp.htm>,
and look under Regional programs for State Personal Income, 1929-93.

security and other Federal retirement and income
support programs.
By industry, growth in earnings by place of
work decelerated in the second quarter in all the
industries except farms and retail trade.
By region, the deceleration in personal income
growth was widespread: Personal income grew
more slowly in all the regions except New England. In all these regions, growth decelerated in
transfer payments and, except in the Plains and
Southeast, in net earnings. In New England, personal income grew 1.1 percent after growing 0.5
percent; growth accelerated in net earnings and
in dividends, interest, and rent.
Growth rates by State
In the second quarter, the growth rates in personal income in all the States and the District
of Columbia exceeded the o.2-percent increase
in the prices paid by U.S. consumers (as measured by the price index for personal consumption
expenditures).
The States with the fastest rates of growth in
personal income were Nevada (2.0 percent), Ari-

November 1998 •

zona (1.8 percent), South Carolina (1.7 percent),
Utah (1.6 percent), and Vermont (1.6 percent)
(chart 2). By type of income, net earnings accounted for most of the personal income growth
in all these States, but transfer payments and
dividends, interest, and rent also contributed
(table A). By industry, earnings in services was
the major contributor to growth in earnings by
place of work in all these States (tables C and D).
In Nevada, earnings in construction, retail trade,
and government also contributed substantially;
the rapid growth in construction earnings reflected new construction of hotels and casinos.
In Arizona, earnings in government and in finance, insurance, and real estate also contributed
substantially; in South Carolina, earnings in
manufacturing, retail trade, and government; and
in Utah and Vermont, earnings in manufacturing and construction. In Utah, the rapid
growth in construction earnings reflected new
road construction.
The States with the slowest rates of growth in
personal income were South Dakota (0.4 percent), Hawaii (0.5 percent), New Jersey (0.5

percent), and Michigan (0.6 percent). By industry, the growth in earnings in all these States was
slowed by declines in manufacturing earnings.
In South Dakota, the decline in manufacturing
earnings mainly reflected a stepdown in lumpsum payments from a high level in the first
quarter, and in Michigan, it mainly reflected the
effects of a strike in the motor vehicle industry
in the second quarter. In South Dakota, a de-

cline in earnings in farms also contributed to the
slow growth in earnings. In Hawaii, declines in
earnings in government, construction, and transportation and public utilities also contributed.
In New Jersey, a decline in earnings in finance,
insurance, and real estate, mainly reflecting a
stepdown in lump-sum payments from a high
level in the first quarter of 1998, also contributed.

BEA C U R R E N T AND H I S T O R I C A L DATA
National, International, and Regional Estimates
This section presents an extensive selection of economic statistics prepared by the Bureau of Economic Analysis and a much
briefer selection of collateral statistics prepared by other Government agencies and private organizations. Series originating
in Government agencies are not copyrighted and may be reprinted freely. Series from private sources are provided through
the courtesy of the compilers and are subject to their copyrights.
BEA makes its economic information available on three World Wide Web sites. The BEA Web site <www.bea.doc.gov>
contains data, articles, and news releases from BEA'S national, international, and regional programs. The Federal Statistical
Briefing Room (FSBR) on the White House Web site <www.whitehouse.gov/fsbr> provides summary statistics for GDP and
a handful of other NIPA aggregates. The Commerce Department's STAT-USA Web site <www.stat-usa.gov> provides detailed
databases and news releases from BEA and from other Federal Government agencies by subscription; information about
STAT-USA'S Economic Bulletin Board (EBB) and Internet services may be obtained at the Web site or by calling (202) 482-1986.
The tables listed below present annual, quarterly, and monthly estimates, indicated as follows: [A] Annual estimates only;

National Data
A. Selected NIPA Tables
The tables in this section include the most recent estimates of gross domestic product and its components;
these estimates were released on October 30,1998 and include the "advance" estimates for the third quarter of
1998.
The selected set of NIPA tables shown in this section presents quarterly estimates, which are updated monthly.
In most tables, the annual estimates are also shown. Most of the "annual only" NIPA tables were presented in
the August 1998 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS; table 8.26 was presented in the September 1998 SURVEY; and
the remaining "annual only" tables—tables 3.15-3.20 and 9.1-9.6—were presented in the October 1998 SURVEY.
The news release on gross domestic product (GDP) is available at the time of release, and the "Selected
NIPA Tables" are available later that day, on STAT-USA'S Economic Bulletin Board and Internet services; for
information, call STAT-USA on 202-482-1986. In addition, the GDP news release is available the afternoon of the
day of the release, and the "Selected NIPA Tables" a day or two later, on BEA'S Web site <www.bea.doc.gov>.
The "Selected NIPA Tables" are also available on printouts or diskettes from BEA. To order NIPA subscription products using Visa or MasterCard, call the BEA Order Desk at 1-800-704-0415 (outside the United States,
202-606-9666).

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.
Percent changes from preceding period for selected items in this table are shown in table 8.1; contributions to
the percent change in real gross domestic product are shown in table 8.2.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.1.

as shown in table 3.8.
NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.14.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines. Chain-type quantity
indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.4.

2. Consumption expenditures for durable goods excludes expenditures classified as investment, except for goods
transferred to foreign countries by the Federal Government.
3. Compensation of government employees engaged in new force-account construction and related expenditures
for goods and services are classified as investment in structures. The compensation of all general government employees is shown in the addenda.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines, excluding the
lines in the addenda.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.11.
See footnotes to table 3.7.

NOTE.-Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.9.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line following the detail for exports is the difference between the aggregate "exports of goods and
services" and the sum of the detailed lines for exports of goods and export of services. The residual line following
the detail for imports is the difference between the aggregate "imports of goods and services" and the detailed
lines for imports of goods and imports of services.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.10.
See footnotes to table 4.3.

NOTE.-Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.
Chain-type quantity indexes for the series in this table appear in table 7.6.

1. Beginning with 1982, this series is derived from the Census Bureau series "current cost inventories." For
earlier periods, it is derived from the Census Bureau "book value inventories" series. The series differ in the treatment of inventories reported on a last-in, first-out (LIFO) basis: The series prior to 1982 is a mix of LIFO and
non-LIFO inventories; the series beginning with 1982 is entirely on a non-LIFO basis.
2. Beginning with 1973; the inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) shown in this table differs from the IVA that
adjusts business incomes. The IVA in this table reflects the mix of methods (first-in, first-out; last-in, first-out; etc.)
underlying inventories derived primarily from Census Bureau statistics (see footnote 1). This mix differs from that
underlying business income derived primarily from Internal Revenue Service statistics. Prior to 1973, the two IVA's
are the same because information required for separate estimates is not available.
3. Prior to 1981, inventories of auto and home supply stores are included in motor vehicle dealers. Beginning
with 1981, these inventories are included in "other durable goods."

change in chained-dollar end-of-period inventories. Quarterly changes in end-of-period inventories are stated at annual rates. Because the formula for the chain-type quantjty indexes uses weights of more than one period, the
corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the difference between the first
line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

1. Inventories are as of the end of the Quarter. The auarter-to-auarter chanae 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-or-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 of general government and includes a small amount of final sales
by farm.

1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. Quarter-to-quarter changes calculated from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas, the change in the business inventories component of GDP 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 of general government and includes a small amount of final sales
by farm.
NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar inventory series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and
the average of the end-of-year fixed-weighted inventories for 1991 and 1992, divided by 100. Chained (1992) dollar
final sales series are calculated as the product of the chain-type index and the 1992 current-dollar value of the
corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more
than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines for inventories.

NOTE.—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
Current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines, excluding the
lines in the addenda.

NOTE,—Chained (1992) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1992
current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity
indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive.
The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

13. Conceptually, the sum of lines 71 and 63 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the national income and
product accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the
international transactions accounts for the treatment of gold, (b) includes adjustments for the different geographical
treatment of transactions with U.S. territories and Puerto Rico, and (c) includes services furnished without payment
by financial pension plans except life insurance carriers and private noninsured pension plans. A reconciliation of
the balance on goods and services from the international accounts and the NIPA net exports appears in the "Reconciliation and Other Special Tables" section in this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. A reconciliation
of the other foreign transactions in the two sets of accounts appears in table 4.5 of the full set of NIPA tables
(published annually in the August issue of the SURVEY).

NOTE.—In this table, unlike in the international transactions accounts, income and capital inflows
are shown without a current-cost adjustment, and income is shown net of withholding taxes. In
addition, unlike in the international investment position, the direct investment position is valued
at historical cost.




The data in this table are from tables 16 and 17 in "Foreign Direct Investment in the United
States: Detail for Historical-Cost Position and Related Capital and Income Flows, 1997" in the
September 1998 issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.

NOTE.—The personal income level shown for the United States is derived as the sum of the State estimates,
It differs from the national income and product accounts (NIPA) estimate of personal income because, by definition,
it omits the earnings of Federal civilian and military personnel stationed abroad and of U.S. residents employed
abroad temporarily by private U.S. firms. It can also differ from the NIPA estimate because of different data sources




and revision schedules.

1. The personal income level shown for the United States is derived as the sum of the county estimates; it
differs from the national income and product accounts (NIPA) estimate of personal income because, by definition,
it omits the earnings of Federal civilian and military personnel stationed abroad and of U.S. residents employed
abroad temporarily by private U.S. firms. It can also differ from the NIPA estimate because of different data sources
and revision schedules.
2. Percent change was calculated from unrounded data.
3. Per capita personal income was computed using Census Bureau midyear population estimates. Estimates for
1994-96 reflect county population estimates available as of March 1998.

Appendixes • D-73

Appendix A
Additional Information About BEA'S NIPA Estimates
Statistical Conventions
Changes in current-dollar GDP measure changes in the
market value of goods and services produced in the
economy in a particular period. For many purposes,
it is necessary to decompose these changes into quantity and price components. To compute the quantity
indexes, changes in the quantities of individual goods
and services are weighted by their prices. (Quantity
changes for GDP are often referred to as changes in
"real GDP") For the price indexes, changes in the prices
for individual goods and services are weighted by
quantities produced. (In practice, the current-dollar
value and price indexes for most GDP components are
determined largely using data from Federal Government surveys, and the real values of these components
are calculated by deflation at the most detailed level
for which all the required data are available.)
The annual changes in quantities and prices are
calculated using a Fisher formula that incorporates
weights from 2 adjacent years. (Similar formulas
are used to calculate the quarterly indexes for the
most recent quarters, called the "tail" period, and
for the indexes for the other quarters, called the
"historical period") For example, the 1996-97 annual percent change in real GDP uses prices for 1996
and 1997 as weights, and the 1996-97 annual percent
change in price uses quantities for 1996 and 1997 as
weights. These annual changes are "chained" (multiplied) together to form time series of quantity and
price. Because the Fisher formula allows for the effects
of changes in relative prices and in the compostion
of output over time, lie resulting quantity or price
changes are not affected by the substitution bias that
is associated with changes in quantities and prices calculated using a fixed-weighted formula. The Fisher
formula also produces changes in quantites and prices
that are not affected by the choice of base periods. In
addition, because the changes in quantities and prices
calculated in this way are symmetric, the product of
a quantity index and the corresponding price index is
generally equal to the current-dollar index.
In addition, BEA prepares measures of real GDP
and its components in a dollar-denominated form,
designated "chained (1992) dollar estimates" These estimates are computed by multiplying the 1992 currentdollar value of GDP, or of a GDP component, by the
corresponding quantity index number. For example,
if a current-dollar GDP component equaled $100 in
1992 and if real output for this component increased
by 10 percent in 1993, then the "chained (1992) dollar"
value of this component in 1993 would be $110 ($100
X 1.10). Note that percentage changes in the chained




(1992) dollar estimates and the percentage changes calculated from the quantity indexes are identical, except
for small differences due to rounding.
Because of the formula used for calculating real GDP,
the chained (1992) dollar estimates for detailed GDP
components do not add to the chained-dollar value of
GDP or to any intermediate aggregates. A "residual"
line is shown as the difference between GDP and the
sum of the most detailed components shown in each
table. The residual generally is small close to the base
period but tends to become larger as one moves further from it. NIPA table 8.2 provides accurate measures
of the contributions of the major components to the
percentage change in real GDP for all periods.
BEA also publishes the "implicit price deflator
(IPD)," which is calculated as the ratio of currentdollar value to the corresponding chained-dollar value,
multiplied by 100; the values of the IPD and of the
corresponding "chain-type" price index are very close.
For quarters and months, the estimates are presented at annual rates, which show the value that would
be registered if the rate of activity measured for a
quarter or a month were maintained for a full year.
Annual rates are used so that time periods of different lengths—for example, quarters and years—may be
compared easily. These annual rates are determined
simply by multiplying the estimated rate of activity by
4 (for quarterly data) or 12 (for monthly data).
Percent changes in the estimates are also expressed
at annual rates. Calculating these changes requires a
variant of the compound interest formula:

r=

xlOO,

where r is the percent change at an annual rate;
Xt is the level of activity in the later period;
X0 is the level of activity in the earlier period;
m is the yearly periodicity of the data (for
example, i for annual data, 4 for quarterly,
or 12 for monthly); and
n is the number of periods between the
earlier and later periods (that is, t - 0).
Quarterly and monthly NIPA estimates are seasonally
adjusted, if necessary. Seasonal adjustment removes
from the time series the average impact of variations that normally occur at about the same time and
in about the same magnitude each year—for example, weather, holidays, and tax payment dates. After
seasonal adjustment, cyclical and other short-term
changes in the economy stand out more clearly.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

November 1998

Appendix B
Suggested Reading
Mid-Decade Strategic Plan
BEA has published the following articles in the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS on the development and
implementation of its strategic plan for improving
the accuracy, reliability, and relevance of the national,
regional, and international accounts.
"Mid-Decade Strategic Review of BEA'S Economic
Accounts: Maintaining and Improving Their
Performance" (February 1995)
"Mid-Decade Strategic Review of BEA'S Economic
Accounts: An Update" (April 1995)
"BEA'S Mid-Decade Strategic Plan: A Progress
Report" (June 1996)
Mid-Decade Strategic Review of BEA'S Economic
Accounts: Background Papers (1995) presents seven
background papers that evaluate the state of the U.S.
economic accounts and that identify the problems and
the prospects for improving the accounts.

Methodology
BEA has published a wealth of information about the
methodology used to prepare its national, regional,
and international estimates.

National
National income and product accounts (NIPA'S)
NIPA Methodology Papers: This series documents
the conceptual framework of the NIPA'S and the
methodology used to prepare the estimates.
An Introduction to National Economic Accounting
(NIPA Methodology Paper No. i, 1985) [Also
appeared in the March 1985 issue of the SURVEY]
Corporate Profits: Profits Before Tax, Profits Tax
Liability, and Dividends (NIPA Methodology Paper
No. 2,1985)
Foreign Transactions (NIPA Methodology Paper
No. 3,1987) [Revised version forthcoming]
GNP: An Overview of Source Data and Estimating
Methods (NIPA Methodology Paper No. 4, 1987)
[Largely superseded by "A Guide to the NIPA'S"
(March 1998 SURVEY)]
Government Transactions (NIPA Methodology
Paper No. 5,1988)
Personal Consumption Expenditures (NIPA Methodology Paper No. 6, 1990)
The methodologies described in these papers are
subject to periodic improvements that are typically
introduced as part of the annual and comprehensive revisions of the NIPA'S; these improvements are




described in the SURVEY articles that cover these
revisions.
"Annual Revision of the U.S. National Income and
Product Accounts": This series of SURVEY articles,
the latest of which was published in the August 1998
issue, describes the annual NIPA revisions and the
improvements in methodology.
"Completion of the Comprehensive Revision of the
National Income and Product Accounts, 1929-96"
(May 1997) is the last in a series of SURVEY articles
that describe the most recent comprehensive revision
of the NIPA'S.
"A Guide to the NIPA'S" (March 1998 SURVEY) provides the definitions of the major NIPA aggregates and
components; discusses the measures of real output and
prices; explains how production is classified and how
the NIPA'S are presented; describes the statistical conventions that are used; and lists the principal source
data and methods used to prepare the estimates of
gross domestic product (GDP),
Information on the sources and methods used to
prepare the national estimates of personal income,
which provide the basis for the State estimates of personal income, can be found in State Personal Income,
1929-93 (1995).
"Gross Domestic Product as a Measure of U.S. Production" (August 1991 SURVEY) briefly explains the
difference between GDP and gross national product.
"BEA'S Chain Indexes, Time Series, and Measures
of Long-Term Economic Growth" (May 1997) is the
most recent in a series of SURVEY articles that describe
the conceptual basis for the chain-type measures of
real output and prices used in the NIPA'S.
"Reliability and Accuracy of the Quarterly Estimates
of GDP" (October 1993 SURVEY) evaluates GDP estimates by examining the record of revisions in the
quarterly estimates.
