Information

NOTE.—This issue of the SURVEY went to the printer on November 6,1991.

It incorporates data from the following monthly BEA news releases:
Gross National Product (Oct. 29),
Personal Income and Outlays (Oct. 30), and
Composite Indexes of Leading, Coincident, and Lagging
Indicators (Nov. 1).

conditions as reflected
in the national income and product accounts (NIPA's) showed improvement
in the third quarter of 1991: Real GNP
increased 2.4 percent after decreasing 0.5 percent in the second quarter,
and real gross domestic purchases increased 4.4 percent after increasing
1.4 percent (chart I).1 The (fixedweighted) price index for gross domestic purchases increased 2.2 percent
after increasing 2.4 percent.
One-third of the increase in real
GNP was accounted for by motor vehicle output, which increased substantially in the third quarter but not
as much as in the second.
Autos accounted for most of the thirdquarter increase in motor vehicle output; trucks accounted for most of the
second-quarter increase. (Auto output
in constant dollars is presented in table 1.18 of the "Selected NIPA Tables,"
and truck output, in table 1.20.)

Among the major components of
GNP, personal consumption expenditures, nonresidential fixed investment,
and residential investment increased
more than in the second quarter, and
inventory investment (that is, change
in business inventories) increased after
a second-quarter decrease. In the third
quarter, the increases in these components were partly offset by drops in net
exports and in government purchases.
Prices

The fixed-weighted price index for
gross domestic purchases increased 2.2
percent in the third quarter, about the
same as in the second quarter (table 1). Food and energy prices held
down the increase in both quarters;

Looking Ahead...
• National Income and Product Accounts Revision. Revised estimates of

the national income and product accounts for years and quarters beginning
in 1959 will be released on December 4, 1991. Estimates for selected tables, along with a brief summary of the revisions, will be presented in the
November SURVEY. The complete set of tables with estimates for 1987-90
and an article describing the revision will appear in the December SURVEY.
A two-volume publication containing the complete set of tables for 1929-87
will be available in early 1992. See the article beginning on page 20 for a
description of the new and redesigned tables that will be introduced for the
revised estimates.
• Gross State Product. Revised estimates for 1977 through 1986 and estimates for 1987, 1988, and 1989 will be presented in the December SURVEY.
These estimates will be consistent with the revised gross product originating by industry series presented in the January 1991 and the April 1991
issues of the SURVEY.

Personal income
Personal income increased $39.7 billion in the third quarter after increasing $48.9 billion in the second (chart
3 and table 2). The slowdown reflected a downswing in farm proprietors' income, which decreased $8.6 billion after increasing $3.3 billion. Federal subsidy payments to farm proprietors and farm proprietors' income excluding subsidy payments contributed
about equally to the downswing. Subsidy payments decreased $6.7 billion
in the third quarter after decreasing
$0.5 billion in the second. Farm proprietors' income excluding subsidies

1. 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
book value inventories derived primarily from Census Bureau statistics. This mix differs from that underlying
business income derived primarily from Internal Revenue Service statistics.

1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quaner-to-quarter change in inventories calculated from
current-dollar inventories in this 90bIe is not the current- dollar change in business inventories (CB1) component
of GNP. The former is the difference between two inventory stocks, each valued at their respective end-ofquartcr 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 90ble are at quarterly rates, whereas CBI is stated ai annual
rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Business final sales equals final sales less gross product of households
d institutions, government, and rest of the world, and includes a small amount of final sales by farms.

NOTE.—The fixed-weighted price index and the chain price index, both of which are weighted averages of
the detailed prices used in the deflation of CNP, are measures of price change. In calculating changes in these
indexes, the composition of GNP is held constant. Consequently these changes reflect only changes in prices.
The fixed*weighted price index measures price change over any period, using as weights the composition of
GNP in 1982. The chain price index measures price change between two consecutive periods, using as weights

the composition of GNP in the first period. The implicit price deflator is a byproduct of the deflation of GNP.
It is derived as the ratio of current- to constant-dollar GNP (multiplied by 100). It it the average of the detailed
prices used in the deflation of GNP, but the prices are weighted by the composition of GNP in each period.
Consequently, the implicit price deflator reflects not only changes in prices but also changes in the composition
of GNP, and its use as a measure of price change should be avoided.

A Preview of the Comprehensive Revision
of the National Income and Product Accounts:
New and Redesigned Tables
IN December, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) will release the
results of a comprehensive—that is,
benchmark—revision of the national
income and product accounts (NIPA's).
This revision is the ninth of its kind;
the last such revision was released in
December 1985.
Comprehensive revisions differ from
annual NIPA revisions because of
the scope of the changes incorporated
and because of the number of years
subject to revision. Comprehensive
revisions incorporate three kinds of
changes: Definitional and classificational changes, statistical changes, and
new and redesigned tables.
Definitional and classificational
changes update the accounts to reflect
the evolving U.S. economy; they are
usually made in a comprehensive revision so that the estimates can be
revised back to produce consistent time
series. In the upcoming comprehensive
revision, the definitional and classificational changes will mainly represent
efforts to deal with the effects of the
changing nature of government programs, the increasing importance of
international transactions, and the nature of business incomes and expenses
as they affect current production.
Statistical changes update the estimates to reflect the incorporation
of newly available and revised data
from regularly used sources and new
methodologies—that is, new source
data and new estimating procedures.
In the upcoming revision, data will
be incorporated from sources such as
the 1982 benchmark input-output tables, the 1987 Economic Censuses, and
several annual surveys for 1989 and
1990; several new methodologies will
be introduced to cope with difficult
measurement problems and to reflect
changes in the availability and quality
of source data. In addition, the base
period for the calculation of constantdollar estimates and of the associated

provided assistance in compiling the table
changes; Getty Mumford provided secretarial

price indexes will be shiftedfrom1982
to 1987, and the industry distributions of GNP and its components for
1987 forward will be shifted from the
1972 to the 1987 Standard Industrial
Classification.
New and redesigned tables update
the presentation of the NIPA's to reflect the definitional, classificational,
and statistical changes and to make
the tables more informative. In the
upcoming revision, the most important
changes will entail a focus on gross domestic product (GDP), the appropriate
measure of U.S. production for many
types of analysis, and the presentation of alternatives to the standard
constant-dollar measures and related
fixed-weighted price indexes.
This article describes the new and
redesigned tables that will update the
presentation of the NIPA's. An article in last month's SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS described the definitional and
classificational changes that will be
incorporated in the revision.1 Subsequent articles will discuss statistical changes and other aspects of the
revision.
Table 1 provides a complete list of
the revised set of NIPA tables arranged
according to the new table numbers.
The table cross-references the new table numbers with the old ones, identifies the new tables, and shows, at the
end of the list, the presently published

Accounts: Definitional and Classificational Changes,"

tables that will be deleted. The last
column in table 1 identifies the major
changes to each table. These changes
resultfromthe focus on GDP, the introduction of alternatives to the standard
constant-dollar measures and related
price indexes, the definitional and classificational changes, and the incorporation of the 1987 Standard Industrial
Classification (SIC).
The focus on GDP
As announced in the August 1991
SURVEY, GDP will replace GNP as the
featured aggregate in most NIPA tables, with the components
of these
tables adjusted accordingly.2 The focus
on GDP will affect the five summary
accounts of the NIPA's, as shown in
table 2.3 The effects on the first of
these accounts, the national income
and product—or production—account
are the following.
• GDP replaces GNP as the sum of
expenditures (the product side of
the account) and of incomes (the
income side of the account).
• On the product side, net exports
of goods and services is redefined
to exclude net receipts of factor income from the rest of the world.
(This change also affects account 4,
the foreign transactions account.)
• On the income side, net receipts
of factor income is added as a
negative entry to convert GNP to
GDP.

Availability of Redesigned Tables
The information provided in this article
describes the major effects of the redesign
of the NIPA tables in the upcoming benchmark revision. To obtain a complete set
of the redesigned tables in hard copy or
machine-readable form (magnetic tape or
diskette), write to National Income and
Wealth Division (BE-54), Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, DC 20230, or call (202)
523-0669.

Table 1 identifies the NIPA tables in
which GDP will replace GNP as the
production aggregate and the components affected by the replacement. Two
of the most important changes relate to
net exports of goods and services and to
final sales. As previously noted, net ex2. For a discussion of the differences between GNP
and GDP, see "Gross Domestic Product as a Measure of
U.S. Production," SURVEY 71 (August 1991): 8.

H. Young and Helen Stone Tice, "An Introduction to National Economic Accounting," SURVEY 65 (March 1985):

ports of goods and services is redefined
to exclude net receipts of factor incomes. (Exports is redefined to exclude
receipts of factor income, and imports
is redefined to exclude payments of factor income.) Final sales is now defined
as the final sales of national product, or
GNP less change in business inventories; it will be replaced by final sales of
domestic product, or GDP less change
in business inventories.
Alternative measures of constant-dollar
estimates and related price indexes

Definitional and classificational changes estimates for 1987 will be shown on the

Many of the NIPA tables will be revised and some new ones added as
a result of the definitional and classificational changes that will be incorporated in the upcoming revision.
For example, the change that redefines government sales and personal
nontaxes results in the deletion of the
reclassified nontaxes from the table
that shows personal nontaxes (table
3.4), the addition of this detail to a new
table that shows government sales (table 3.9), and changes in the presentation of certain components of personal
consumption expenditures (tables 2.4—
2.7). Some of the definitional and
classificational changes will not affect
the structure of the NIPA tables. An
example is the change that recognized
personal injury trusts, which will affect only the estimates for existing
components.
The effects of several definitional
and classificational changes are also
evident in the revised summary accounts shown in table 2. On the income
side of the national income and product
account, recording nonresident taxes
as transfers results in a new type of
business transfer payment—payments
to the rest of the world (line 19). In the
personal income and outlay account,
"interest paid by persons" replaces "interest paid by consumers to business"
to reflect the recognition of interest
paid by persons to government (lines
4 and 17). In the foreign transactions
account, the reclassification of interest paid by the Federal Government
to foreigners results in the deletion of
the line "interest paid by government
to foreigners" in the present accounts;
this interest will be included in the
new line on payments of factor income
(line 4).

Another important feature of the upcoming revision will be the introduction of quantity and price indexes that
represent alternatives to the standard
constant-dollar measures and related
fixed-weighted price indexes. BEA has
selected as alternatives two types of indexes, both of which are based on the
Fisher ideal index formula and were
among the alternatives discussed in an
April 1989 SURVEY article.4 One of the
alternatives is a chain-type index that
will use as weights the composition of
output for the preceding and current
years. The other alternative index will
use as weights the composition of output for benchmark years. An article in
the January 1992 SURVEY will describe
the alternative measures in more detail and provide estimates for 1959 to
the third quarter of 1991; estimates for
the fourth quarter will be provided in
the February SURVEY.
In the redesigned tables, the alternative quantity and price indexes will be
presented using the format shown below. This format also includes, for the
first time in the NIPA tables, the presentation of the current- and constantdollar measures as indexes (on a base
of 1987=100) to facilitate comparisons
with the alternative measures. Alternative quantity and price indexes will
be shown for GDP and its major expenditure components (table 7.1), for
measures of final sales and purchases Incorporation of the 1987 SIC
(table 7.2), and for GNP (table 7.3).

basis5 of both the 1972 and the 1987
SIC. In addition, the incorporation of
the 1987 SIC resulted in changes in the
names of several industries.
The industry distributions in most
of the redesigned NIPA tables will be
presented as follows: Estimates for
1929 to 1948, based on the 1942 SIC,
will be shown in tables designated as
part A; estimates for 1948 to 1987,
based on the 1972 SIC, will be shown
as part B; and estimates for 1987 forward, based on 6the 1987 SIC, will be
shown as part C. Some series do not go
back to 1929; tables presenting these
series will have only a part A, based
on the 1972 SIC, and a part B, based
on the 1987 SIC. Footnotes to these tables have been added to clarify the A,
B, and C designations for each table.

Series names

The names of several NIPA series will be changed. Because these
changes affect many tables, they are
not mentioned in table 1; instead, the
new and old names for these series are
listed below:
New series name

Old series name

Consumption of fixed
capital

Capital consumption

Government purchases

In addition, the term "foreigners**
has been replaced by arest of the world**
or "nonresidents** in the names of many
NIPA series. For example, "transfer
payments to the rest of the world" replaces "transfer payments to foreigners
(net)."

Tables 1 and 2 follow.

5. For a detailed presentation of the 1987 SIC revisions, see Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1987, Executive Office of the President, Office
of Management and Budget (Washington, DC: U.S.
Government Printing Office, 1988).
6. Tables 5.10 to 5.13 show inventory estimates by
SIC industry division beginning in 1946. Because the
differences in the 1972 SIC and 1987 SIC are minor
at the industry division level, the estimates for 1987
forward will be based only on the 1987 SIC.

assets increased 11 percent in 1989,
compared with an 8-percent average
annual rate of growth during 198288. MNC sales increased 9 percent,
compared with a 3-percent average annual increase, and MNC employment
increased 3 percent, compared with a
very small decline. (Including the improvements in coverage, MNC assets
increased 12 percent in 1989, sales

Trends in MNC
Employment, 1977-89
Of the three key measures of
MNC operations that can be used to
gauge trends in MNC operations, the
change in assets and in sales differed
markedly from that in employment
from 1977 to 1989. Assets of U.S.
MNC's grew at an average annual
rate of 10 percent, worldwide sales
grew 7 percent, and employment declined slightly. This section focuses on
trends in employment because, unlike
assets and sales, employment is not
directly affected by changes in prices
and exchange rates. The discussion
covers employment trends from 1977

Acknowledgments
BEA thanks the staffs of U.S. companies that responded to the 1989 benchmark survey
for their efforts in completing and filing reports and for their cooperation with BEA during
processing and review of the data.
The publication of the benchmark survey estimates in 17 months was a result of the efforts
of the BEA staff listed below.
Jack J. Bame, Associate Director for International Economics, succeeded by J. Steven Landefeld, provided general guidance for the survey. Betty L. Barker, Chief, and R. David Belli,
Assistant Chief, International Investment Division (IID), directed the design of the benchmark
survey report forms, the conduct of the survey, and the analysis and publication of the results.
The Direct Investment Abroad Branch (DIAB) of IID, under the direction of Patricia C. Walker,
was primarily responsible for conducting the survey. David H. Galler, Chief of the Annual and
Benchmark Surveys Section of DIAB, supervised the editing and processing of the reports. He
also designed the computer-edit checks and the forms and processing control systems.
The following former and current members of DIAB processed and edited the survey: Joan
O. Adams, Margaret Buckley, Barbara S. Clark, Margo A. Collier, Emily D. Curry, Marcia S.
Francis, David N. Hale, Jeanne Hicks, Lonnie Hunter, Deanna D. Ibarra, Christine J. Lee,
Sherry Lee, Stephanie A. Lewis, Leila C. Morrison, Juanita L. Mortimer, John A. Munz, Pearl
Rivers, Ronald L. Ross, William R. Shupe, Robert N. Smith, Dwayne Tbrney, and Diann L.
Vann.
The Research Branch of IID, under the direction of Obie G. Whichard, assisted DIAB in
reviewing the results for consistency and accuracy. The reviewers were Jeffrey H. Lowe and
Raymond J. Mataloni, Jr. Arnold Gilbert of the Data Retrieval and Analysis Branch (DRAB) of
IID also assisted in the review.
James T. Spalding, Chief, Programming and Analysis Branch of the Computer Systems and
Services Division, coordinated the computer programming and data conversion and processing
activities, which were performed by Douglas J. Klear, Elizabeth L. Shumate, Marguerite E.
Ellis, Effie M. Eason, and Janice E. Townsend.
Marie Gott designed the computer programs for the integrated master file of U.S. direct
investment abroad. Arnold Gilbert designed the programs for data estimation, final review of
the data, suppression of the data for confidentiality reasons, and generation of the tables for
publication. They were under the supervision of Smith W. Allnutt, Chief of DRAB.
Raymond J. Mataloni, Jr., prepared the tables for this article. Jeffrey H. Lowe designed the
tables in the publication that presents more detailed data from the survey.

to 1989—both of which are benchmark
years, when BEA surveys the entire
universe of U.S. parents and foreign
affiliates. In addition, considerable
use is made of data from 1982, an
intervening benchmark year.
MNC employment declined from
26.1 million in 1977 to 25.3 million
in 1989." Worldwide economic recession in the early 1980's induced
companies to bring costs in line with
sluggish sales by reducing employment. After 1982, employment continued to decline through 1986 and
then recovered to the 1982 level by
1989. A large decline in manufacturing, partly reflecting increases in productivity, more than accounted for the
overall decline. In petroleum, a decline
resulted from the shedding of laborintensive nonpetroleum-related operations.
Partly offsetting these declines were increases in all other major
industries, especially in "services."8
U.S. parents
U.S. parent companies employed
slightly fewer workers in 1989 than
they did in 1977—18.7 million, compared with 18.9 million (table 3). Decreases in employment in manufacturing and petroleum were largely offset by increases in other industries,
particularly in "services" (chart 4).
The small decline in employment
by U.S. parents contrasts with a 33percent increase in employment by
all U.S. businesses since 1977. The
different growth rates partly reflect
a difference in industry mix between
U.S. parents and all U.S. businesses.
"Services," the fastest growing industry in terms of employment, accounted
for a much larger share of all-U.S.business employment than of U.S.
parent employment in 1989—30 percent, compared with 10 percent. In
contrast, employment in manufacturing, one of the slowest growing in-

31

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

oil prices and parent-company profits
fell sharply, which prompted some parent companies to sell their peripheral
nonpetroleum businesses and to substantially reduce their technical and
managerial personnel.
In manufacturing, parent employment fell from 11.8 million in 1977 to
10.1 million in 1989. Increased competition from foreign producers caused
many parents to scale back operations
and to increase efficiency by reducing
technical and managerial staffs and
by adopting labor-saving technologies.'
The decreases in employment were
particularly large in primary metals
(from 991,000 to 334,000), in textile
products and apparel (from 668,000 to
322,000), and in motor vehicles and
equipment (from 1.4 million to 1.0
million).
In contrast to the declines in petroleum and manufacturing, parent employment was higher in 1989 in "services," in finance (except banking), insurance, and real estate (FIRE), in
transportation, and in wholesale trade.
In "services," increases were notable in
several consumer-oriented service industries; however, most of the overall
increase occurred in "business services not elsewhere classified" (especially in personnel supply services).
In FIRE, the most rapid growth occurred between 1977 and 1982 and was
centered in insurance. For the remainder of the 1980's, employment in
FIRE grew more slowly, as increases
in nonbank finance were partly offset
by decreases in insurance. In transportation, the increase resulted from
the addition of some very large U.S.
parents, mainly airlines, to the survey universe. (The addition of these
parents' affiliates had a much smaller
effect on affiliate employment because
the affiliates accounted for only a small

dustries in terms of employment, accounted for a much smaller share of
all-U.S.-business employment than of
U.S. parent employment—21 percent,
compared with 57 percent.
The decline in parent employment
between 1977 and 1989 resulted
largely from efforts to trim operations in response to macroeconomic
and industry-specific changes. Weakness in domestic economic activity led
to a decline in parent employment between 1977 and 1982. During those
years, and also through 1989, many
parents in petroleum and manufacturing retrenched. In petroleum, the
decline in employment was related to
falling crude oil prices in the early- to
mid-1980's; in manufacturing, it was
related to falling market share, which
was lost to rising U.S. merchandise
imports, and to the increasing capitalintensity of production. In addition,
the large number of mergers and acquisitions involving U.S. parent companies caused employment to decline
as duplicative jobs were eliminated.
Parents in integrated refining and
extraction accounted for most of the
overall decline in petroleum; their employment fell from 709,000 in 1977 to
478,000 in 1989. During the mid1970's, some of the largest parents
in this industry—bolstered by high
profits, which provided an inexpensive source of ftinds—had diversified
into other industries, such as retail
trade and electronics manufacturing.
Parent companies sought diversification partly to secure their long-term
profitability, which was threatened by
increased control of crude oil production and prices by oil-producing countries. A decade later, in 1984-86,

negative) were at least $500,000. In 1982 and 1989, the

were covered in the 1977 survey were not covered in FIRE

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

some parent companies shed foreign
affiliates in order to concentrate on
their core domestic businesses, which
were threatened by rising competition
from foreign producers and by hostile
takeovers. Some affiliates were sold
in response to worsening host-country
economic conditions, such as those
caused by the burdensome increases
in debt-service requirements of Latin
American governments. In the case
of South Africa, some affiliates were
sold because of U.S. public sentiment
against South Africa's social policies
and because of U.S. legislation discouraging direct investment in that country. Also contributing to the 1977-86
decline in affiliate employment were
increases in productivity due to the
introduction of labor-saving technologies. After 1986, affiliate employment
grew, reflecting renewed emphasis by
U.S. parents on foreign operations.
Manufacturers and providers of services were attracted by favorable conditions abroad, particularly prospects for
greater European economic integration
and for rapid economic growth in the
Pacific Rim.
The decline in employment by foreign affiliates contrasts with increases
in overall employment in some host
countries. From 1977 to 1989, affiliate employment in OECD countries
decreased 8 percent, while total employment in these countries grew 11
percent. The disparate growth rates
may primarily reflect selloffs of foreign
affiliates during 1977-82; after 1982,
the growth rates of affiliate and OECD
host country employment were similar.

thereafter.
The 1977-82 decrease
was widespread, particularly among
manufacturing industries.
In Africa, affiliate employment fell
from 287,000 in 1977 to 120,000 in
1989. The sharpest declines occurred
after 1982 and largely reflected selloffs
of affiliates in South Africa.
In South America, affiliate employment fell from 771,000 in 1977 to
651,000 in 1989. From 1977 to 1982,
the decline was concentrated in Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia and
resulted from divestitures and reductions in capacity, partly in response
to deteriorating economic conditions.10
Much of the decline after 1982 reflected
selloffs of Venezuelan affiliates.
Affiliate employment increased in
two regions—Central America and
Asia and Pacific. In Central America, affiliate employment grew from
480,000 in 1977 to 604,000 in 1989.
Especially rapid growth in Mexico reflected the establishment of affiliates
along the U.S. border to take part

By area.—The small decline in affiliate employment between 1977 and
1989 reflects offsetting changes among
areas. The declines are concentrated
in Europe, Canada, Africa, and South
America, and the increases are concentrated in Central America and in Asia
and Pacific (table 4, chart 5).
In Europe, affiliate employment fell
from 3.1 million in 1977 to 2.7 million in 1989. It declined sharply
during 1977-82, probably because of
the recession in many countries; after
1982, affiliate employment decreased
slightly. The 1977-82 decline was
widespread, but the decreases were
especially large in the United Kingdom and Spain, where a number of
manufacturing affiliates were sold.
In Canada, affiliate employment
was 945,000 in 1989, down from
1.1 million in 1977. Employment
showed a pronounced drop between
1977 and 1982 and increased slightly

CHART 5




10. In 1981, a sharp rise in world interest rates led to
burdensome increases in the debt-service requirements
of Latin American governments. To conserve foreign
exchange needed to service the debt, some host governments in the region sought to decrease imports through
import restrictions, currency devaluations, and austerity measures. As a result, affiliates of U.S. MNC's found
it more difficult or expensive to import intermediate
goods, as well as more difficult to sell goods in local markets. In addition, the region's rapid inflation tended to
encourage affiliates to invest their profits in high-yield
financial instruments rather than in new capital goods.
These conditions lasted until the late 1980's, when an
improved business climate and a revival of pro-foreigninvestment policies in some of the larger host countries
began to encourage affiliates to expand operations.

in the maquiladora program and
the expansion of affiliates in central
Mexico in response to the country's
economic revitalization and improved
climate for foreign direct investment.
In Asia and Pacific, affiliate employment grew from 1.2 million to 1.4 million. Over one-half of the increase was
in Australia and was attributable to
the acquisition of minority-owned affiliates; employment by majority-owned
Australian affiliates declined. The increases in employment in East Asian
countries, such as Thailand and Singapore, were in response to the region's rapid economic growth and to
the relatively open direct investment
and foreign trade policies in some
of the newly industrialized countries.
Employment by Japanese affiliates declined in 1977-89, but the decline
mainly resulted from the sale of a
minority interest in a large company
between 1977 and 1982; employment
by majority-owned affiliates in Japan
doubled from 1977 to 1989.
By industry.—The small decline in
affiliate employment between 1977 and
1989 reflects larger offsetting changes
among industries; declines in most
manufacturing industries, construction, mining, and petroleum refining
more than offset increases in retail
trade and "services" (table 5, chart 6).
Manufacturing affiliates employed
4.2 million workers in 1989, down
from 4.8 million in 1977. The decline in manufacturing employment
11. This program allows Mexican affiliates to import
components for assembly, free of customs duties, from
the United States if at least 50 percent of the finished
goods are exported to the United States. U.S. duties are
levied only on the value added in Mexico.

was centered in industries in which
U.S. parent companies experienced
vigorous domestic competition from
foreign producers—primary and fabricated metals, consumer electronics,
tires, automobiles, and textiles. In
some cases, the declines resulted from
the shedding of foreign affiliates as
part of a worldwide restructuring. In
other cases, the declines reflected the
adoption of labor-saving production
techniques.
In primary and fabricated metal
products, affiliates employed 222,000
workers in 1989, down from 396,000
in 1977. The decrease partly resulted
from the sale of steel- and aluminumproducing affiliates. In steel, a large
U.S. parent sold off foreign assets as
part of a global restructuring intended
to ward off a takeover attempt. In aluminum, several affiliates in the United
Kingdom and India were sold in the
early 1980's, as producers sought to
cope with high energy costs and falling
aluminum prices.
In household audio and video and
communications equipment, affiliate
employment fell from 250,000 workers
in 1977 to 153,000 in 1989. Several large diversified U.S. parent companies sold their consumer electronics operations to foreign producers so
that they could concentrate on more
profitable business lines.
In rubber products, mainly tires, affiliate employment fell from 183,000
in 1977 to 109,000 in 1989. During
the 1980's, some parents sold foreign
affiliates to raise funds for capital investment to meet rising competition in
the United States from Japanese and
European producers.
In motor vehicle manufacturing, affiliate employment fell from 838,000
in 1977 to 701,000 in 1986 and increased thereafter to 795,000 in 1989.
In the late 1970's and early 1980's, a
shift in consumer preferences toward
smaller, more fuel-efficient cars put
U.S. auto producers at a competitive
disadvantage vis-a-vis foreign producers. lb increase their competitiveness,
U.S. producers invested large sums to
develop and produce new products. Because falling sales constrained profits,
some U.S. producers sold off foreign operations to raise the necessary funds
for investment. After 1986, affiliate
employment in motor vehicle manufacturing rose again, as some U.S.
producers focused on certain overseas
markets where profits were higher and
competition not so intense.
In textile products and apparel, affiliate employment fell from 142,000 in




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

1977 to 87,000 in 1989. The decline
was widespread and probably reflected
increased automation.
Outside manufacturing, affiliate employment declined in construction,
mining, and petroleum refining. In
construction, employment fell from
179,000 in 1977 to 54,000 in 1989 as
a result of depressed activity and increased international competition. In
mining, employment fell from 188,000
in 1977 to 89,000 in 1989. Much of
the decline was in Africa, where some
very large operations were sold, partly
in response to declining commodity
prices. In petroleum, employment
fell from 370,000 in 1977 to 291,000
in 1989, partly because of worldwide
overcapacity in the refining sector.
Affiliate employment grew in retail
trade and in "services." In retail trade,
employment increased 'from 426,000 in
1977 to 627,000 in 1989. Most of
the increase reflected MNC's in the
fast food industry seeking to expand
beyond the saturated U.S. market.
In "services," employment increased
from 308,000 in 1977 to 483,000 in
1989; most of the increase occurred after 1982. Many "services" industries
showed increases; however, the overall increase was largely centered in
personnel supply services.

Selected Aspects of MNC
Operations in 1989
This section presents an analysis of
detailed data from the 1989 benchmark survey that were also collected
in the previous benchmark survey but
not in the annual surveys. These
data—most of which were collected
only for majority-owned foreign affiliates (MOFA's)—include U.S. merchandise trade by product, by intended use,
and by destination or origin; compensation of and hours worked by production workers of MOFA's in manufacturing; research and development expenditures and employment by MOFA's and
their U.S. parents; and sales of goods
and services by MOFA's and their
U.S. parents by destination and affiliation. This section also discusses the
industrial specialization of MNC's in
1989.
Merchandise trade

Exports.—In 1989, U.S. merchandise exports shipped to MOFA's, at
$97.1 billion, were 95 percent of exports shipped to all foreign affiliates and 40 percent of total MNCassociated exports (table 6). Most

October 1991

exports to MOFA's—$85.6 billion, or
88 percent—were shipped by U.S.
parents.
By destination, exports to MOFA's
in Canada were largest, at $37.8 billion (table 7). A significant portion
of the exports to Canadian MOFA's—
15 percent—were shipped by unaffiliated U.S. persons; these exports accounted for over one-half of the shipments to all MOFA's by unaffiliated
U.S. persons. Factors contributing to
the large trade with Canada were the
1965 U.S.-Canadian automotive trade
pact, which eliminated tariffs on such
trade, and the geographical proximity
and economic similarities between the
two countries. Exports to European
MOFA's were $29.5 billion. Within Europe, exports to MOFA's in the United
Kingdom were largest, at $7.7 billion.
By product, nearly two-thirds of total U.S. exports shipped to MOFA's
consisted of machinery, both electrical
and nonelectrical,
and of road vehicles
and parts.12 Exports of chemicals and

survey are based on the Standard International Trade
Classification (SITC). For a description of the SITC,

from MOFA's—$72.4 billion, or 85
percent—were shipped to U.S. parents.
By area of origin, Canada accounted

were disaggregated by destination, by
affiliation of customer, and by whether
the sales were of goods, services, or
investment income.
U.S. parents.—Total sales by U.S.
parents were $3,134 billion in 1989
(table 10). Sales of goods accounted
for $2,213 billion or 71 percent, sales
of services accounted for $798 billion
or 26 percent, and investment income accounted
for $123 billion or 3
percent.14
Of total sales of goods by U.S. parents, 88 percent were to U.S. persons
and 12 percent were to foreigners.
Over one-half of the sales to foreigners
were to unaffiliated persons. Of total
sales of services, 94 percent were to
U.S. persons, and 6 percent were to foreigners. Over one-half of the sales to
foreigners were to foreign affiliates.
By industry, sales of services were
largest in "other industries,", particularly in communications and public
utilities and in transportation, and
they were next largest in finance (Except banking), insurance, and real estate (FIRE). They were also sizable
in manufacturing—especially in motor vehicles and computer manufacturing—and in "services."
MOFA's.—Total MOFA sales were
$1,015 billion (tables 11-12). Sales of
goods accounted for the largest share—
87 percent, or $887 billion. Sales
of services accounted for 11 percent,
or $110 billion. Investment income
accounted for 2 percent, or $18 billion. Most of the sales of both goods
and services were to unaffiliated foreign persons in the affiliate's country
of location. These sales reflect the
fact that U.S. parents have invested
abroad mainly to sell goods and services through affiliates to unaffiliated
customers in local markets.15
By industry, sales of goods were
largest—at $490 billion—in manufacturing. Within manufacturing, sales
were largest in transportation equipment and in chemicals. Sales were also
sizable in wholesale trade, particularly
in durable goods.
By area, affiliates in Europe accounted for over one-half, or $505
14. To provide more accurate data on sales of services, information on investment income of U.S. parents
and MOFA's infinanceand insurance was collected separately from sales of services for the first time in the
1989 benchmark survey. Finance and insurance companies include investment income in sales because it
is generated by a primary activity of the company. In
most other industries, investment income is considered
an incidental revenue source and included in the income
statement in a separate "other income" category.
15. An unaffiliated customer of a MOFA is a customer
other than the MOFA's U.S. parent or another foreign
affiliate of the parent.

billion, of the total sales of goods.
Within Europe, sales by affiliates in
the United Kingdom were particularly
large—at $141 billion. Outside Europe, sales were largest in Canada—at
$151 billion—and in Japan—at $48
billion.
By industry, sales of services were
largest—at $33 billion—in FIRE; insurance affiliates accounted for about
two-thirds of the total. Sales of services were next largest—$32 billion—in
"services"; business services accounted
for about one-half of the total, and most
of these sales were by affiliates in computer processing and data preparation
services. Sales were also sizable in
computer and office equipment manufacturing, where affiliates provided
services associated with the use and
maintenance of equipment that they
manufactured.
By area, affiliates in Europe accounted for over one-half, or $58 billion, of total sales of services. Within
Europe, sales in the United Kingdom were particularly large—at $21
billion. Outside Europe, sales were
largest in Canada—at $17 billion—and
in Japan—at $10 billion.

By destination, 69 percent of total
sales by MOFA's were to customers in
the affiliates' own countries of location,
20 percent were to customers in other
foreign countries, and 11 percent were
to customers in the United States.
Sales to customers in other foreign countries accounted for over onehalf of total sales by MOFA's in several European countries—Switzerland,
Netherlands, Belgium, and Ireland—
and for about one-third of total sales by
MOFA's in several Asian countries—
Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Singapore.
In the European countries, most of the
sales to other foreign countries were by
manufacturing affiliates to other European countries. Most of the total sales
to other foreign countries were to other
foreign affiliates.
In several industries and countries,
sales to the United States accounted
for a relatively large share of the total. They accounted for about 25
percent of total sales in two extractive industries—crude petroleum and

metal mining—and in three manufacturing industries—computers and office equipment, electronic components
and accessories, and transportation
equipment. Except for metal mining,
most of the sales to the United States
in these industries, as well as in most
other industries, were to U.S. parents.
Sales to the United States accounted
for a relatively large share of total
sales by MOFA's in Canada and Mexico (mostly by transportation equipment affiliates), in Singapore and Taiwan (mainly by affiliates that manufacture computer components), and in
Bermuda, Nigeria, United Arab Emirates, and Egypt (mostly by petroleum affiliates). They also accounted
for a sizable share of total sales by
MOFA's in the Netherlands Antilles;
this large share mostly reflected interest payments (investment income)
received from U.S. parents.
Specialization of MNC's
In all the tables in this article that
are disaggregated by industry, except
for tables 13 and 14, parents and affiliates are classified by industry of
enterprise—that is, by the industry
that accounted16for the largest portion
of their sales.
In the benchmark
survey, sales data were collected by
industry of sales to determine the correct industry classification of parents
and affiliates. This information can
also be used to examine the degree of
industrial specialization of parent and
affiliate operations.
Tables 13 and 14 show sales for U.S.
parents and MOFA's in their industries
of classification and in other industries.
For U.S. parents, the proportion of
sales in their industry of classification
(industry specialization ratio) ranged
from 94 percent in FIRE to 75 percent
in wholesale trade. In manufacturing,
the ratio was 84 percent; within manufacturing, the ratio was highest in
transportation equipment and lowest
in electric and electronic equipment.
For MOFA's, the industry specialization ratios ranged from 99 percent
in petroleum to 89 percent in wholesale trade. In manufacturing, the
16. Each U.S. parent or affiliate was classified by industry on the basis of its sales (or total income for
holding companies). First, the parent or affiliate was
classified in the major industry group that accounted
for the largest percentage of its sales. Second, within
the major industry group, the parent or affiliate was
classified in the two-digit industry group in which its
sales were largest. Third, within its two-digit industry,
the parent or affiliate was classified in the three-digit
subindustry in which its sales were largest.

Annual Revision of Composite Indexes
The composite indexes of leading, coincident, and lagging indicators (series 910,
920, and 930) have been revised from January 1986 through August 1991. These
revisions incorporate revised data for component series but do not involve changes
in the components of the indexes or in the standardization or trend factors. The
ratio of the coincident to lagging composite indexes (series 940) and the diffusion
indexes based on the leading, coincident, and lagging indicator components (series
950,951, and 952) have been revised for the same period. Historical data for these
indexes and their components are shown on pages C-25 through C-44.

L,C,Lg,U Cyclical indicator series are classified as L (leading), C (coincident), Lg (lagging), or U (unclassified) at reference cycle peaks, troughs, and overall.
Series classifications are shown in parentheses following the series titles.
± Cyclical indicator series denoted by $ are inverted (i.e., the sign is reversed) for cyclical analysis calculations, including classifications, contributions to
composite indexes, and current high values,
f

Cyclical indicator series denoted by f are smoothed by an autoregressive-moving-average filter developed by Statistics Canada.

For information on composite indexes and other concepts used in this section, see "Composite Indexes of Leading, Coincident, and Lagging Indicators" in
the November 1987 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS and "Business Cycle Indicators: Revised Composite Indexes" in the January 1989 SURVEY.
References to series in this section use the prefix "BCI-" followed by the series number. Unless otherwise noted, series are seasonally adjusted.
Percent change data are centered within the spans: 1-month changes are placed in the ending month, 3-month changes are placed in the 3d month, 6-month
changes are placed in the 4th month, 1-quarter changes are placed in the ending quarter, and 4-quarter changes are placed in the 3d quarter.
Diffusion indexes are defined as the percent of components rising plus one-half of the percent of components unchanged. Diffusion index data are centered
within the spans: 1-month indexes are placed in the ending month and 6-month indexes are placed in the 4th month.
High values reached by cyclical indicators since the last reference cycle trough (November 1982) are shown in boldface type; high values reached prior to
the period shown in the table are listed at the bottom of each page. For inverted series, low values are indicated as highs.
Sources for series in this section are shown on pages C-47 and C-48.

NOTE.—Major data revisions: The composite indexes (BCI-910, -920, -930, and -940), their
percent changes, and the contributions of their components have been revised from 1986 forward
to incorporate revised data for component series. These revisions do not involve changes in
the components of the indexes or changes in the standardization or trend factors. In addition,
the diffusion indexes based on the composite index components (BCI-950, -951, and -952) have
been recomputed from 1986 forward. Historical data for these composite and diffusion indexes
and their components are shown on pages C-25 through C-44. For further information, contact
the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Business Outlook Division,
Washington, DC 20230.
1. A component's contribution measures its impact, in percentage points, on the percent
change in the index. Each month, the sum of the contributions plus the trend adjustment factor
equals (except for rounding differences) the index's percent change from the previous month.
The trend adjustment factors are 0.142 for the leading index, —0.186 for the coincident index,
and 0.030 for the lagging index.
2. Excludes BCI-57, for which data are not available.
3. Excludes BCI-77 and BCL95, for which data are not available.

* Preliminary October values; BCI-23 = 271.9, BCI-19 *= 386.33; anticipated 4th quarter
values: BCI-61 = 540.91 and BCM00 « 541.15.

NOTE.—Major data revision: CIBCR long-leading and short-leading composite indexes (BCI990 and BCI-991) have been revised by the source agency from 1986 forward to incorporate
revised data for component series. For further information, contact the source. (See footnote 1
for address.)
* Preliminary October values: BCI-85 ^= 0.87, BCI-119 = 5.26, BCI-114 = 5.04, BCI-116 =
8.83, BCI-115 - 7.88, BCM17 = 6.68, and BCI-109 = 8.00.

NOTE.—Major data revision: Series on average weekly initial claims for unemployment insurance (BC1-5) and average weekly insured unemployment rate (BCI-45) have been revised by
the source agency from 1986 forward to reflect updating of the basic data. For further information, contact the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Office of
Administration Management, Washington, DC 20210.
* Preliminary October values: B C M 2 2 = 60.4 and BCI-123 ~ 79.6.

0 Effective April 1990 SURVEY, the industrial production index has been revised back to 1977
and has a new base year of 1987. A more detailed explanation of this revision is in the April 1990
Federal Reserve Bulletin. Historical data are available from the Industrial Output Section, Mail
Stop 82, Division of Research and Statistics, Federal Reserve Board, Washington, DC 20551.

t Effective with the April 1991 SURVEY, M3 data have been revised to benchmark the data
to the 1987 Census of Manufactures and 1988 Annual Survey of Manufactures, and to convert
the series to the 1987 SIC codes. Revisions related to benchmarking affect all categories back to
1982. Revisions resulting from the SIC conversion affect about half the categories back to 1958.
The coverage for some of the series in the market category has been changed.

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

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

are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Employment Cost Trends, 441 G
Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20212.
XX These series were affected by an error in the Sept. 1990 SURVEY. The stub for "Transportation equipment" was omitted. Hourly earnings for 'Transportation equipment" were shown
following the stub for "Electronic and other electrical equipment". Hourly earnings for "Electronic and other electrical equipment" were shown following the stub for "Industrial machinery
and equipment". Hourly earnings for "Industrial machinery and equipment" were shown following the stub for "Machinery, except electrical", which was the former name for that industry (SIC
35).
* Series first shown in the July 1991 SURVEY. Wages and salaries are defined as the hourly
