ACCORDING TO advance estimates of the
^/± national income and product accounts
(NIPA'S), real gross domestic product (GDP) increased 2.7 percent in the third quarter of 1992
after increasing 1.5 percent in the second quarter (chart i).1 The step-up was accounted for
by goods other than motor vehicles and by services; structures and motor vehicles swung down
(table i).
Real gross domestic purchases increased 3.3
percent in the third quarter, about the same rate
as in the second. Unlike GDP, gross domestic
purchases excludes exports of goods and services and includes imports of goods and services.
Exports increased in the third quarter after decreasing in the second; imports increased about

one-half as much in the third quarter as in the
second (table 2).
Although real gross domestic purchases increased at about the same rate in the second
and third quarters, the composition of the two
quarterly increases differed considerably. The
second-quarter increase was evenly split between
inventory investment (change in business inventories) and final sales to domestic purchasers; the
third-quarter increase was largely in final sales
to domestic purchasers. Among the final sales
components, personal consumption expenditures
(PCE) and government purchases both increased
in the third quarter after decreasing in the second.
The upswing in PCE was widespread: Durable
goods, nondurable goods, and services each contributed. The upswing in government purchases
was largely accounted for by national defense
purchases. Nonresidential fixed investment and
residential investment both decelerated sharply in
the third quarter.
The fixed-weighted price index for gross domestic purchases increased 2.4 percent in the
third quarter after increasing 3.2 percent in the
second. The fixed-weighted price index for GDP
increased 2.1 percent after increasing 2.9 percent.
Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki.—Hurricane Andrew struck Florida and Louisiana in late August,
and Hurricane Iniki struck Hawaii in midSeptember. As explained in the September
"Business Situation," BEA will not attempt to
quantify the total impact of the hurricanes on the
third-quarter NIPA aggregates, primarily because
most of the effects of the storms are embedded in
the source data and cannot easily be separated.2
2. In addition, reductions in production and incomes in the areas hit by
the storms may be at least partly offset by subsequent rebuilding efforts and
by increases in production and incomes elsewhere in the United States.

However, BEA has adjusted certain components
of the NIPA'S to reflect effects that are not accounted for in the source data. The adjustments
(based mainly on information from an insurance
industry trade association), which are described
in the following paragraphs, are subject to further
revision as more information becomes available.
All adjustments relate to third-quarter estimates
and, unless otherwise noted, are given in current
dollars at annual rates.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Adjustments were calculated to reflect destruction of structures and equipment owned by
businesses (including owner-occupied housing,
which is treated as a business entity in the
NIPA'S), lost wages, lost sales of crops by farmers, insurance benefits received by consumers and
businesses, and insurance benefits paid by foreign
companies. On the income side of the NIPA'S, the
adjustments affect consumption of fixed capital,
rental income of persons, proprietors' income,
corporate profits, and wages and salaries. On the
product side, the adjustments affect personal consumption expenditures and imports of services
(table 3).
Consumption of fixed capital was increased
$55.1 billion. This amount reflects destruction of
structures and equipment owned by businesses;
it is approximately three times as large as the

adjustment made after Hurricane Hugo struck
South Carolina and North Carolina in September 1989. The level of GDP is not affected by this
adjustment because it is offset by adjustments to
rental income, proprietors' income, and corporate profits. The level of net domestic product
(NDP) is affected, however; NDP is GDP less consumption of fixed capital. Current-dollar NDP
increased only 0.4 percent in the third quarter
but would have increased 4.7 percent were it not
for the hurricanes.
Rental income of persons was reduced $9.4
billion. Destruction of residential property was
estimated at $36.3 billion; insurance benefits were
estimated at $27.3 billion.
Proprietors' income was reduced $3.5 billion.
Destruction of property of proprietors was estimated at $4.9 billion, $2.4 billion of which was

Third Quarter 1992 Advance GDP Estimate: Source Data and Assumptions
The advance GDP estimate for the third quarter is based
on the following major source data, some of which are
subject to revision. (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 (2), and exports
and imports of machinery and equipment (2);
Residential investment: Construction put in place (2)
and 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: Merchandise exports
and merchandise imports (2);
Government purchases: Federal outlays (2), State and
local construction put in place (2), and State and local
employment (3);
GDP prices: Consumer Price Index (3), Producer Price
Index (3), price indexes for nonpetroleum merchandise
exports and imports (3), and values and quantities of
petroleum imports (2).
In addition to incorporating the above source data,
BEA makes assumptions for the source data that are not
yet available.1 The following paragraphs, based on a table made available shortly after release of each advance
estimate, highlight the source data incorporated and the
assumptions made in preparingthe estimates of the components that contributed the most to the 2.7-percent
increase in real GDP in the third quarter.
i. The table of assumptions is available shortly after the release of each
advance estimate on the Department of Commerce's Economic Bulletin
Board or by request from BEA. For additional information, see "Key
Source Data and Assumptions for the Advance Estimates of GNP: Easier
Access and Redesigned Format" in the July 1988 SURVEY OF CURRENT
BUSINESS.




For personal consumption expenditures, the estimate
of goods was based on 3 months of Census Bureau sales
of retail stores and trade-source unit auto and truck
sales. The estimates of service components that increased were based partly on BEA projections based on
past trends and partly on 3 months of source data—
primarily trade-source airline passenger revenue miles,
trade-source shares traded on securities markets, Bureau
of Labor Statistics (BLS) employment and earnings in
service industries, and State government agency revenues
from casino gambling. The price data used to prepare
the constant-dollar estimates of both goods and services
were based primarily on 3 months of BLS consumer price
indexes.
For inventory investment, the estimate of nonfarm
inventories was largely based on 3 months of tradesource unit auto and truck inventories and 2 months
of Census Bureau manufacturing and trade inventories.
For September, BEA assumed a substantial liquidation
in manufacturing and trade inventories, following substantial accumulations in July and August. The estimate
of farm inventories was based on BEA quarterly distributions of annual forecasts of production and sales
prepared by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
The price data used to prepare the constant-dollar estimates of inventories were based largely on 3 months
of BLS producer price indexes and on prices received by
farmers from USDA.
For government purchases, the estimate of national
defense purchases was based on 2 months of outlays
by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD), as published
in the Monthly Treasury Statement. For September,
based on unpublished data, BEA assumed that outlays
were about equal to the average of the July and August
estimates. The price data used to prepare the constantdollar estimates of defense purchases were BEA price
indexes developed primarily from detailed information
from DOD.

covered by insurance. Proprietors' income was
further lowered by $1.0 billion of lost crop sales
attributable to the hurricanes.
In addition to the downward adjustments in
rental income of persons and in proprietors' income, wages and salaries was reduced $1.4 billion,
and government transfer payments was raised
$0.3 billion. As a result of these adjustments,
personal income was reduced $14.0 billion in the
third quarter.
The third-quarter estimate of corporate profits
will be released in late November. At present,,
it is estimated that profits will be reduced $40.3
billion to reflect the effect of the hurricanes. Destruction of property of corporations is estimated
at $13.9 billion, $11.0 billion of which is covered
by insurance. Insurance companies are estimated
to be liable for $49.2 billion in claims arising from
the hurricanes, $11.8 billion of which would be
covered by foreign reinsurers.
On the product side of the NIPA'S, PCE and
imports were adjusted down. The personal property and motor vehicle insurance components of
PCE were adjusted down $8.7 billion. As explained in the September "Business Situation,"
these components are defined as premiums paid
less benefits received; benefits increased. In addition, PCE was adjusted down $0.2 billion to reflect
lost rental payments resulting from the destruction of rental and owner-occupied housing units.
Imports of services was adjusted down $11.8
billion, reflecting payments under reinsurance
policies that domestic insurers have with foreign
insurance companies. As in PCE, imports of insurance services are defined as premiums paid
less benefits received. The adjustments for insurance services were made only to current-dollar
estimates; no adjustments were made to the corresponding constant-dollar estimates, which are
based only on premiums paid.

in the prices of gasoline and oil offset accelerations in the prices of fuel oil and coal and of
electricity and gas.

Prices

Gross domestic product

As noted earlier, the fixed-weighted price index for gross domestic purchases increased 2.4
percent in the third quarter after increasing 3.2
percent in the second (table 4). The deceleration
was largely accounted for by prices of PCE.
Prices of PCE increased 2.2 percent in the third
quarter after increasing 3.5 percent in the second. Most of the components of PCE except food
and energy contributed to the slowdown. Prices
of food increased somewhat more in the third
quarter than in the second. Prices of the energy
components increased at about the same rate in
the third quarter as in the second; a deceleration

Prices of nonresidential fixed investment increased 1.2 percent in the third quarter, the
same as in the second. Prices of nonresidential structures increased more than in the second
quarter, and prices of producers' durable equipment increased less. The step-up in the prices
of structures was in buildings; the slowdown in
the prices of equipment largely reflected prices of
computers and of transportation equipment.
Prices of residential investment increased 4.0
percent in the third quarter after increasing 2.5
percent in the second.
Prices of government purchases increased 3.5
percent in the third quarter, the same as in the
second. Prices paid by the Federal Government
increased 3.4 percent after increasing 2.8 percent. Prices paid by State and local governments
increased 3.6 percent after increasing 4.0 percent.
The price index for GDP, which measures prices
paid for goods and services produced in the
United States, increased 2.1 percent in the third
quarter after increasing 2.9 percent in the second.
This index differs from the price index for gross
domestic purchases because it includes prices of
exports and excludes prices of imports. Prices of
exports increased less than in the second quarter,
and prices of imports increased more.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Personal income
Real disposable personal income (DPI) was unchanged in the third quarter after increasing 1.2
percent in the second (chart 2). The deceleration was more than accounted for by a slowdown
in current-dollar DPI from a 4.8-percent increase in the second quarter to a i.4-percent
increase in the third. The personal saving rate
fell 0.8 percentage point to 4.5 percent, reflecting a larger increase in current-dollar personal
outlays—mainly PCE—than in current-dollar DPI.
Personal income increased $27.1 billion in the
third quarter after increasing $48.4 billion in the
second (table 5). As explained earlier in the
"Business Situation," adjustments made to reflect
the impact of hurricanes Andrew and Iniki reduced personal income $14.0 billion in the third
quarter.
Wage and salary disbursements increased $20.0
billion in the third quarter after increasing $23.7

billion in the second. Wages and salaries in
both private industry and government increased
slightly less in the third quarter than in the
second.
Farm proprietors' income decreased $7.8 billion in the third quarter after decreasing $1.6
billion in the second.
Excluding the effects of the hurricanes, farm proprietors' income decreased $4.8 billion in the third quarter.
Federal farm subsidy payments decreased $6.4 billion after increasing $0.3 billion. Excluding subsidies and the effects of
the hurricanes, farm proprietors' income swung
up, reflecting upswings in farm prices and
production.
Nonfarm proprietors' income increased $6.3
billion in the third quarter, the same as in
the second. Excluding the effects of the hurricanes, nonfarm proprietors' income was up
slightly more in the third quarter than in the
second.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Rental income of persons decreased $3.3 billion
in the third quarter after increasing $7.8 billion
in the second. Excluding the effects of the hurricanes, rental income increased $6.1 billion in the
third quarter. In both quarters, changes in rental
income reflected the reductions in mortgage interest payments that resulted from lower interest
rates. (Mortgage interest payments are deducted
as expenses in calculating rental income.)
Among the remaining components of personal
income, personal dividend income increased $4.4
billion in the third quarter after increasing $2.7
billion in the second; the increases followed five
consecutive quarterly decreases. Personal interest
income decreased $8.5 billion in the third quarter
after decreasing $9.6 billion in the second; the
decreases reflected lower interest rates. Transfer
payments increased somewhat less in the third
quarter than in the second.
Personal contributions for social insurance,
which are subtracted in deriving the personal income total, increased about the same amount in
both quarters.
Personal tax and nontax payments increased
$11.6 billion in the third quarter after decreasing
in the previous two quarters. The decreases in
the first and second quarters reflected a reduction in personal income tax withholding that was
implemented by executive action in March. H

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

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

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

1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventories calculated from
current-dollar inventories in this table is not the current-dollar change in business inventories (CBI) component of
GDP. The former is the difference between two inventory stocks, each valued at their respective end-of-quarter

NOTE.—The quantity and price indexes in this table are calculate from weighted averages of the detailed output
and prices used to prepare each aggregate and component. The fixed weighted measures use as weights the
composition of output in 1987. For the alternative indexes, the chain-type indexes with annual weights use weights
for the preceding and current years, and the indexes with benchmark-years weights use weights of 1959, 1963,
1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, and 1987 and the most recent year Percent changes from preceding period for selected

NOTE.—Except for disposable personal income, the quantity and price indexes in this table are calculated from
weighted averages of the detailed output and prices used to prepare each aggregate and component. The fixed
weighted measures use as weights the composition of output in 1987. For the alternative indexes, the chain-type
indexes with annual weights use weights for the preceding and current years, and the indexes with benchmarkyears weights use weights of 1959, 1963,1967, 1972,1977,1982, and 1987 and the most recent year.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Summary Fixed Reproducible Tangible Wealth Series, 1925-91
Summary estimates of fixed reproducible tangible wealth in the United States are presented in tables 1-4 for the entire
period for which these series are available. These tables summarize the detailed wealth estimates that appeared in the January
1992 and August 1992 issues of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. More detailed estimates, the investment series and service
lives used to derive the estimates, and an updated statement of methodology will be available soon in Fixed Reproducible
Tangible Wealth in the United States, 1925-89; the availability of this publication will be announced in the SURVEY.
NOTE.—John C. Musgrave prepared the wealth estimates.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Motor Vehicles, Model Year 1992
By Larry R. Moran

fxSoDEL YEAR 1992 marked the first imJ \L provement in the motor vehicle industry in 5 years; however, the improvement was
slight.
Sales, employment, and production
each increased modestly in 1992, and inventories
remained lean.
Sales of new motor vehicles in the United States
edged up i percent in model year 1992 to 12.9
million units after decreasing 10 percent in 1991
to 12.8 million, the lowest level since 1983 (table i).1. Sales have declined in 4 of the last
6 years after reaching a peak of 16.1 million in
1986. The 1992 increase in motor vehicle sales was

more than accounted for by sales of trucks. Sales
of domestic-nameplate trucks and of transplant
trucks increased, and sales of imported trucks
declined.2 Sales of cars declined; sales of both
domestic-nameplate and imported cars declined,
but sales of transplant cars edged up.
Employment in the motor vehicle industry increased 3l/2 percent to 811,492 in model year 1992
after falling 5 percent in both 1991 and 1990, and
the average weekly hours of production workers
increased to 42.5 in 1992 from 42.0 in 1991. Capacity utilization for the mptor vehicle industry
increased 4^2 percentage points to ?ol/2 percent.

i. This article uses data on unit sales, inventories, and production mainly
from Ward's Automotive Reports and the Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association and data on prices mainly from the Automobile Invoice Service
and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor. These data
underlie the estimates of auto and truck output in the national income and
product accounts.
For this article, the model year is defined as beginning on October i
and ending on the following September 30. Thus, model year 1992 covers
the fourth calendar quarter of 1991 and the first, second, and third calendar
quarters of 1992.

2. Sales of domestic cars and trucks consist of sales of vehicles manufactured in North America and sold in the United States. Domestic-nameplate
vehicles are those manufactured in North America at factories owned by U.S.
companies. Transplant vehicles are those manufactured in North America
at foreign-owned factories, which are known as transplants. Sales of imported cars and trucks consist of sales of vehicles manufactured outside North
America and sold in the United States.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Motor vehicle sales have behaved atypically
during the current business cycle.3 Usually, motor vehicle sales lead the recovery and are strong
in the first year of the recovery (chart i). However, in this business cycle, motor vehicle sales
reached their low point of 12.3 million units (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in the same quarter
that the economy reached its low point—the first
quarter of 1991. In addition, the i-percent increase in sales in model year 1992 was well below
first-year increases in other recent recoveries; for
example, sales increased 15 V2 percent in model
year 1983 after 4 years of decline, and they increased 26 percent in model year 1976 after 2 years
of decline.
Factors affecting 1992 sales.—Typically, motor vehicle sales jump sharply in the first year after
a recession, reflecting both improvement in the
general factors associated with consumer ex3. After slowing in 1989 and the first half of 1990, the U.S. economy
entered a recession in the third quarter of 1990. In the second quarter of
1991, many of the major measures of economic activity, such as real gross
domestic product (GDP), turned up; since then, GDP has increased modestly,
and in the third quarter of 1992, it surpassed its second-quarter 1990 peak.

penditures for durable goods and the release of
demand that built up during the recession because consumers postponed purchases. In model
year 1992, sales were held down by three interrelated general factors that are usually associated
with expenditures for durable goods: Real disposable personal income (DPI) increased only iVi
percent, well below the normal increase in the
first year of a recovery; the unemployment rate
increased for the third consecutive year, to its
highest level since 1984; and the Index of Consumer Sentiment—prepared by the University of
Michigan's Survey Research Center—declined for
the third consecutive year, to its lowest level since
1982. There was evidence that some pent-up demand may have been released in model year 1992:
Real personal consumption expenditures for motor vehicles increased 3% percent, considerably
more than the increase in real DPI.
Motor vehicle sales in 1992 may have been bolstered by several factors that are specific to the
motor vehicle market: Finance terms on new-car
loans, sales-incentive programs for consumers,
and new-car prices. Finance terms on new-car

loans were more favorable in 1992 than in 1991
(chart 2). First, interest rates were lower; for
loans made by auto finance companies, rates averaged wl/i percent in 1992 after averaging 13
percent in 1991. Second, downpayments were
smaller; for loans made by auto finance companies, the ratio of the average value of loans to the
value of cars purchased rose to 89 percent in 1992
from 87 percent in 1991.
Manufacturers offered attractive sales-incentive
programs to consumers throughout model year
1992.
These programs consisted of discount
packages on options, rebates, and below-market

financing; rebates remained the most frequently
selected of the incentive-program choices.
New-car prices increased slightly less in 1992
than in 1991. The consumer price index (CPI) for
new cars increased 2l/2 percent after increasing 3
percent in 1991. In contrast, the average expenditure per new car increased more in 1992 than in
1991: It was up 6 percent to $17,563 after increasing 4 percent in 1991.4 The 1992 increase in the
average expenditure reflected increased purchases
of options (such as driver-side airbags, antilock
brakes, automatic transmissions, and power windows) rather than an upscaling in the size class of
cars purchased (see the discussion on purchases
by size-class later in this article).
Two market-specific factors may have dampened sales in 1992. First, manufacturers' marketing programs for fleet sales to businesses were less
attractive in 1992 than in i99i.5 Under these programs, manufacturers agree to repurchase fleet
cars after they reach certain minimum age and
mileage requirements. The fleet marketing programs offered in model year 1992 had slightly
higher age and mileage requirements than those
offered in 1991; these higher requirements probably encouraged companies with fleets to wait
longer to purchase new cars. Second, 1992 sales
may have been affected by another substantial increase in the cost of car ownership. The cost of
car ownership increased 8J/2 percent in 1992 after an ii-percent increase in 1991, according to a
study by the American Automobile Association.
In addition, two long-term trends have dampened motor vehicle sales in recent years. First,
since the early 1980*8, the growth rates in the
driving-age population and in household formation have slowed. Second, owners are keeping
their vehicles longer; according to the Motor
Vehicle Manufacturers Association, the average
age of cars on the road climbed to 7.9 years in
1991 (the most recent year for which data are
available), the highest level since 1950.
Another long-term trend that is related to the
motor vehicle industry should also be noted. The
ratio of consumer auto installment credit to DPI
has fallen to 6.0 in 1992 from 8.8 in 1988. The decline may reflect increases in personal-use leasing
4. BEA derives the average expenditure per new car by weighting each
model's suggested retail price (adjusted for options, discounts or premiums,
and sales taxes) by its snare of sales. Movements in the average expenditure
differ from movements in the new-car component of the CPI, which is a
fixed-weighted price index, primarily because the CPI, unlike the average
expenditure, is adjusted to remove the influence of quality change on prices
and because the average expenditure, unlike the CPI, reflects changes in the
mix of models and options sold and includes cars sold to businesses and
government.
5. Fleet sales are sales to businesses that purchase 10 or more vehicles for
rental, leasing, or commercial use.

and in auto purchases financed by home equity
loans. By 1992, personal-use leasing accounted
for 11 Vi percent of new-car registrations and for
8 percent of new-truck registrations, according
to R.L. Polk and Company. Since 1986, when
changes in the tax law phased out interest paid on
auto loans as a deduction from taxable income
in calculating tax liability, an increasing number
of consumers may have used home equity loans
to finance car purchases, because they could still
deduct the interest on these loans.
New Cars
Sales of new cars declined 3 percent—the sixth
consecutive decline—to 8.3 million units in
model year 1992 from 8.6 million in 1991. Car
sales had declined 9 percent in 1991, 8x/2 percent
in 1990, and iVi percent in 1989. Sales of both
domestic and imported cars decreased in 1992.
Sales of domestic cars, which consist of both
domestic-nameplate cars and transplant cars, declined il/2 percent to 6.2 million units in 1992
from 6.3 million in 1991. Sales of domesticnameplate cars declined iVi percent to 5.0 million
after falling 11 percent in 1991. Sales of transplant cars increased l/2 percent to 1.1 million after
increasing 10^2 percent.
The market share (percent of total new-car
sales) of domestic cars increased to j4l/2 percent
in 1992 from 73 percent in 1991. The market share

of domestic-nameplate cars edged up to 6ol/2 percent from 60 percent (chart 3); their share had

gain may have partly reflected new-product introductions and quality improvements. The market
share of transplant cars remained at 13% percent
in 1992.
By size class, the 1992 decline in domestic-car
sales was more than accounted for by sales of
middle-sized and luxury cars; sales of small and
large cars increased. Sales of middle-sized cars
declined to 3.0 million, but their market share
was unchanged at 36 percent (chart 4). Sales
of luxury cars declined to 0.6 million, and their
market share declined to 7 percent from 8 percent. Sales of small cars increased to 1.8 million,
and their market share increased to 22 percent
from 21 percent. Sales of large cars increased to
0.7 million, and their market share increased to
9 percent from 8 percent.
Sales of imported cars fell 7^2 percent to 2.1
million in 1992—the lowest level since 1978—
from 2.3 million in 1991. Sales of these cars
had declined 12% percent in 1991, 10 percent in
1990, and 7 percent in 1989. The market share
of imported cars declined to 251/2 percent in 1992
from 27 percent in 1991; their share had peaked
at 30x/2 percent in 1987. The recent declines in
sales largely reflected shifts in production by foreign manufacturers from overseas plants to U.S.

transplants; most of the models manufactured at
transplants are the same as those previously manufactured overseas and then imported. The 1992
decline in sales may also have reflected the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen,
which led to larger price increases for Japanese
cars than for domestic cars.
Domestic-car production edged up to 5.6 million units in 1992 from 5.4 million in 1991, the
lowest level in 9 years. Manufacturers limited the
increase in production because sales were weak
throughout the year and because they wanted to
maintain lean inventories. After struggling with
ballooning inventories in the late 1980*8, car manufacturers and retailers have kept inventories low
in the 1990*8 for two reasons: First, the cost of
holding large inventories either cut into profits
or forced higher prices, which may have resulted
in lower sales; second, cars held in inventory for
long periods may lose value by deteriorating or
by going out of style.
Quarterly patterns in model year 1992
Sales of new cars fell in the fourth quarter of
1991, increased modestly in the first and second

quarters of 1992, and then fell again in the third
quarter (chart 5).
Domestic cars.—In the fourth quarter of 1991,
domestic-car sales dropped to 6.1 million (seasonally adjusted annual rate) from 6.3 million
in the third quarter. The drop was more than
accounted for by sales to businesses; sales to
consumers increased. The decline in sales to
businesses reflected a cutback in manufacturers' fleet marketing programs. The step-up in
sales to consumers may have been bolstered by
a 2-percent increase in real DPI, the largest in
seven quarters. Domestic-car production was
unchanged in the fourth quarter at 5.5 million
(seasonally adjusted annual rate). Inventories
were unchanged at 1.3 million at the end of the
fourth quarter. The inventory-sales ratio edged
up to 2.6 from 2.5; traditionally, the industry
targets an inventory-sales ratio of about 2.4.
In the first quarter of 1992, sales remained at 6.1
million. Sales to consumers increased, but sales
to businesses dropped. The continued growth
in sales to consumers reflected a step-up—to a
4-percent increase—in real DPI and a decline in
interest rates on new-car loans. The drop in sales
to businesses again reflected a cutback in manufacturers* fleet marketing programs. Production
remained at 5.5 million. Inventories remained at
1.3 million, and the inventory-sales ratio edged
back down to 2.5.
In the second quarter, sales increased to 6.3
million. The increase was more than accounted
for by sales to businesses; sales to consumers
fell. The decline in sales to consumers reflected
an anemic increase in consumer income, a jump
in unemployment, and weakness in consumer
confidence. Production increased to 5.9 million,
the highest level in nearly 2 years. Inventories
again were unchanged at 1.3 million, and the
inventory-sales ratio remained at 2.5.
In the third quarter, sales edged down to 6.2
million. Sales to both consumers and businesses
decreased slightly. The decline in sales to consumers reflected virtually no change in consumer
income, an increase in unemployment, and a decline in consumer confidence. Production fell to
5.6 million. Inventories edged up to 1.4 million,
and the inventory-sales ratio increased to 2.7, the
highest level since the fourth quarter of 1989.
Imported cars.-—Sales of imported cars decreased
to 2.1 million in the fourth quarter of 1991 and
edged up to 2.2 million in the first quarter of
1992; they were unchanged in the second quarter and decreased to 2.0 million, the lowest level

in more than 10 years, in the third quarter. Inventories of imported cars changed little in the
fourth quarter of 1991 and decreased in the first
quarter of 1992; they decreased more sharply in
the second quarter and increased slightly in the
third.
New Trucks
Sales of new trucks jumped 9 percent—the largest
increase since 1985—to 4.5 million units in model
year 1992 after declining i2x/2 percent in 1991, 6
percent in 1990, and % percent in 1989. The 1992
jump was accounted for by increases in the sales
of domestic light trucks and of "other" trucks;
sales of imported light trucks declined. The share
of total motor vehicle sales accounted for by
trucks jumped to a record 35 percent in 1992 after
declining to 32*72 percent in 1991, the first decline
since 1982.
Sales of light trucks increased 9 percent to 4.3
million in 1992 after declining in each of the
preceding 3 years.6 The increase was mainly
accounted for by sales of sport-utility vehicles,
vans, and small pickups. Light trucks, many of
which are purchased for personal use, accounted
for 94l/2 percent of total truck sales in 1992, up
slightly from 1991.
The strength in 1992 light-truck sales is somewhat surprising because many of the same
factors—such as weak growth in DPI, rising unemployment, and falling consumer confidence—
that may have weakened car sales also affected
light-truck sales.
Sales of domestic light trucks jumped i2l/2 percent to 4.0 million in 1992 after falling loVi
percent in 1991 and 5 percent in 1990. Sales of
domestic-nameplate light trucks increased 11 percent to 3.9 million, and their share of light-truck
sales increased to 91 percent from &9l/2 percent
in 1991. The strength in sales of these trucks
reflected new-product introductions, quality improvements, and efforts by manufacturers to hold
down price increases; in addition, a weak dollar against the yen led to large price increases
in imported Japanese trucks. Sales of transplant
trucks jumped 76 percent to o.i million; their
share of light-truck sales increased to 3 percent
from 2 percent. In model year 1993 and beyond,
Japanese manufacturers plan to introduce more
truck models, including larger pickup trucks, into
the U.S. market. Initially, these models will be

These trucks include light conventional pickups, compact pickups, sportutility vehicles, and passenger vans.

built in Japan, but eventually they will be built
in U.S. transplants.
Sales of imported light trucks plummeted 2^/2
percent to 0.2 million in 1992, continuing a series of sharp declines; these drops, like those of
imported-car sales, partly reflected a shift in production from overseas plants to transplants. The
imported truck share of light-truck sales fell to 6
percent from 8J/2 percent.
Sales of "other" trucks increased 3 percent to
0.3 million.7 Nearly all of these trucks are purchased by businesses. The domestic models'
share of total sales of "other" trucks has declined
in recent years, to roughly 90 percent in 1992.
Quarterly patterns in model year 1992.—Most of
the strength in truck sales was in the second quarter of 1992. Truck sales were unchanged in the
fourth quarter of 1991 and in the first quarter of
1992; they jumped sharply in the second quarter
and decreased slightly in the third (chart 6).
In the fourth quarter of 1991, truck sales were
unchanged at 4.3 million. An increase in sales
of domestic light trucks offset small decreases
in sales of imported light trucks and of "other"
trucks.

Division.




ERSONAL INCOME in the Nation grew slower
in the second quarter of 1992 than in the first
quarter. It increased i.o percent after increasing
1.5 percent.1
In the second quarter, personal income growth
slowed in 37 States, picked up in 11 States,
and was unchanged in Colorado and New Mexico. The States with the sharpest slowdowns
were Iowa, Alaska, Mississippi, Nebraska, and
Arkansas. The slowdowns in Iowa, Mississippi,
Nebraska, and Arkansas were largely in farm income; the slowdown in Alaska was spread across
most industries. The States with the sharpest
pickups were North Dakota, Montana, Kansas,
South Dakota, and Wyoming; the pickups largely
reflected upswings in farm income. (See tables i
and 2 at the end of this article.)

by the fixed-weighted price index for personal
consumption expenditures increased 3.4 percent. In all States except California, Connecticut,
and Delaware, the increases in personal income
exceeded the 3.4-percent increase in prices.
Fastest growing States.—Increases in personal income in the 10 fastest growing States ranged from
8.4 percent in Montana to 6.3 percent in Mississippi and North Carolina (table A and chart i).
As a group, these States accounted for less than
10 percent of the Nation's personal income.
All 10 States had above-average increases in
payrolls in retail trade. Most had above-average
increases in payrolls in durables manufacturing, in construction, in wholesale trade, in the
finance-insurance-real estate group, in services,
and in government. In Montana, Washington,
South Dakota, and Idaho, construction payrolls
increased more than 10 percent, in contrast to a
1.2-percent decline for the Nation.
In some of the fastest growing States, payrolls
in particular industries were weak. In Montana,
Nevada, Idaho, Mississippi, and North Carolina,
payrolls in the transportation and public utilities

group declined. In Montana and Idaho, farm
income declined considerably more than it did
for the Nation; in Idaho and North Carolina,
mining payrolls declined considerably more than
they did for the Nation.
Slowest growing States.—Increases in personal income in the 10 slowest growing States ranged
from 2.7 percent in Delaware to 4.0 percent
in Michigan and North Dakota. As a group,
these States accounted for about one-third of the
Nation's personal income.
In Michigan, Massachusetts, Maryland, Illinois, California, Connecticut, and Delaware,
payrolls declined in durables manufacturing and
in construction. In most of these States, payrolls declined in wholesale trade; payrolls increased at below-average rates in retail trade,
in the finance-insurance-real estate group, in
services, and in government. In Delaware, a

tc^^

large decline in nondurables-manufacturing payrolls mainly reflected weakness in the chemicals
industry.
In North Dakota, Florida, and Nebraska, personal income growth was slowed by substantial
declines in farm income. In North Dakota and
Florida, the declines reflected lower cash receipts;
in Nebraska, the decline reflected lower Federal
subsidy payments. In addition, payrolls in Nebraska declined in wholesale trade, and payrolls
in Florida declined in construction and in the
transportation and public utilities group.
In some of the slowest growing States, increases in payrolls in particular industries were
well above average. In North Dakota, payrolls
increased in construction and in retail trade.
In Delaware, payrolls increased in the financeinsurance-real estate group, and in Nebraska,
they increased in manufacturing.

Foreign Direct Investment in the United States:
Establishment Data for 1987
By Ned G. Howenstine and William J. Zeile

N JUNE 1992, highly detailed establishment7
level data on foreign direct investment in the
United States (FDIUS) became available for the
first time as a result of an ongoing project between the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
and the Bureau of the Census.1 The project,
which linked BEA'S enterprise, or company, data
with the Census Bureau's establishment, or plant,
data was undertaken as a result of the passage of
the Foreign Direct Investment and International
Financial Data Improvements Act of 1990, which
authorized the exchange of confidential data between the two statistical agencies.2 The purpose
of this exchange was to improve the quality of
U.S. Government data on FDIUS so that analysts
could better assess the impact of FDIUS on the
U.S. economy.
The new data cover the number, employment,
payroll, and shipments or sales of the establishments of U.S. affiliates of foreign companies in
198/.3 The data are disaggregated by industry in
much finer detail than the previously available
company-level data collected by BEA (more than
800 industries, up from 135), and they more precisely indicate the activities conducted by affiliates
in specific industries.
The initial data link covered 1987 because that
was a benchmark, or census, year for both
agencies. In 1993, expanded information will
be published for 1989 and 1990 on the man1. This article presents only summary data from the project. For more
detailed data, see Bureau of Economic Analysis and Bureau of the Census,
Foreign Direct Investment in the United States: Establishment Data for 1987
(Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, June 1992).
2. In addition to the exchange of data with the Census Bureau, the act
also authorized BEA to give the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) access to
its foreign direct investment data so that BLS could identify foreign-owned
establishments in its database. This year, BLS released data on the number,
employment, and payroll of foreign-owned establishments in 1989 and 1990.
3. A U.S. affiliate is a U.S. business enterprise that is owned 10 percent
or more, directly or indirectly, by a foreign person. "Person" is broadly defined to include any individual, corporation, branch, partnership, associated
group, association, estate, trust, or other organization and any government
(including any corporation, institution, or other entity or instrumentality of
the government). For convenience, the establishments of U.S. affiliates of
foreign companies are sometimes referred to in this article as "foreign-owned
establishments." The data presented here for these establishments are not
adjusted for percentage of foreign ownership. Thus, for example, the employment data include all employees of any given establishment, even though
the foreign investor may own less than 100 percent of the affiliate to which
the establishment belongs.

ufacturing establishments of U.S. affiliates; this
information will include most of the items covered by the Census Bureau's Annual Survey of
Manufactures.
The establishment data for U.S. affiliates shed
new light on the characteristics of FDIUS and help
answer key questions, such as the following.
• How much of U.S. industry is owned by
foreign companies? The new data indicate that
foreign-owned establishments accounted for only
4 percent of the employment of U.S. businesses.
In manufacturing, foreign-owned establishments'
employment share was 7 percent. In nearly
one-half of 459 detailed manufacturing industries, foreign-owned establishments' employment
shares were less than 5 percent; their employment
share exceeded 25 percent in only 5 percent of
these industries. In a very small number of industries, these establishments accounted for over
50 percent of all-U.S.-business employment.
• Where do foreign companies locate their
U.S. operations? Over one-fourth of the employment by foreign-owned establishments is in
three States—California, New York, and Texas;
their share of total State employment is largest in
Delaware (13 percent) and Hawaii (7 percent).
• Do foreign-owned establishments employ
larger amounts of capital and skilled labor than
other establishments? They tend to be in industries that rely more on physical capital (plant and
equipment): The average employment share for
foreign-owned establishments was significantly
higher in the 50 most capital-intensive manufacturing industries than it was in the 50 least
capital-intensive—15 percent, compared with 4
percent. Similarly, they tend to be in industries
that have a more skilled labor force: The average
employment share for foreign-owned establishments was significantly higher in the 50 most
skill-intensive manufacturing industries than it
was in the 50 least skill-intensive—13 percent,
compared with 2 percent.
• Do foreign-owned establishments spend relatively more for research and development than
other establishments? This cannot be measured

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

directly with the new data; however, foreignowned establishments tend to be concentrated
in the U.S. industries with the most research
and development activity. In the manufacturing industries with the highest research and
development activity, the average share of total
employment for foreign-owned establishments
was 12 percent, considerably above their average employment share of 7 percent in all other
manufacturing industries.
• How does the compensation of employees
of foreign-owned businesses compare with that
of U.S.-owned businesses? According to the new
data, the payroll per employee of foreign-owned
establishments was 29 percent higher than that of
U.S.-owned establishments. In manufacturing, it
was 12 percent higher. Within manufacturing,
payroll per employee for foreign-owned establishments was at least 5 percent higher than that
for U.S.-owned establishments in 50 percent of
the 201 detailed manufacturing industries examined; it was at least 5 percent lower in 20 percent
of the industries and roughly equal to that of
U.S.-owned establishments in 30 percent of the
industries.
This article explores these and other questions
that can be addressed using the new establishment data. The remainder of the article
consists of four sections and a technical note.
The first section explains how the establishment
data differ from and complement the enterprise
data on FDIUS that BEA collects. The second provides an overview of the establishment
data for 1987. The third examines characteristics of the manufacturing industries in which
foreign-owned establishments are most active.
The fourth compares the payroll per employee
of foreign-owned and U.S.-owned manufacturing establishments. The technical note describes
differences between the establishment and enterprise data in terms of coverage, definition,
measurement, and classification.

Establishment and Enterprise Data
Compared
Because they more precisely measure activities
in particular industries and are more detailed
than enterprise data, the establishment data are
especially useful for analyzing the activities and
importance of U.S. affiliates of foreign companies
in specific industries. On an establishment basis, data are collected for each plant or location
of an enterprise, and these data are classified by
industry according to the major activity of that




plant or location. On an enterprise basis, in contrast, all of a company's plants or locations are
consolidated on a single report and classified in
a single industry—the one that accounts for the
largest share of the company's activity. Because
U.S. affiliates are often highly diversified, they are
likely to have activities in industries other than
the one in which they are classified.
Establishment data also provide industry information in greater detail than is appropriate
for enterprise data. Because enterprises may be
diverse, it is not meaningful to classify them in industries that are narrowly defined. Consequently,
in the BEA data, enterprises are classified only at a
level that roughly approximates the Standard Industrial Classification (sic) three-digit level. At
this level, there are 135 industries. Because individual establishments are less diversified than
enterprises, they can be meaningfully classified
at a more detailed level; accordingly, in the
new establishment data, they are classified at
the sic four-digit level, which includes over 800
industries.
In addition, the establishment data provide
much more detailed industry data within individual States than has been available in the past.
Previously, data by State were available only for
the major industry divisions and for a few twodigit industries. The establishment data expand
the maximum detail shown by State to the sic
four-digit level.
The establishment data for U.S. affiliates complement BEA'S enterprise data, which are needed
for analyzing the overall significance of, and
trends in, FDIUS and for compiling the U.S. international transactions accounts, the international
investment position of the United States, and the
U.S. national income and product accounts. The
data on positions of and transactions between
U.S. affiliates and their foreign parents exist only
at the enterprise level. In addition, analyses
of some topics, such as profits and taxes, are
appropriate only at the enterprise level because
the critical, nonduplicative financial and operating data—such as balance sheets and income
statements—that are needed for these purposes
exist only at that level.
At the aggregate level, the Census Bureau establishment and BEA enterprise data for 1987 were
very similar. About 90 percent of the BEA affiliates with employment linked to one or more
Census Bureau establishments, and these affiliates
accounted for 97 percent of all affiliate employment. The linked affiliates' employment was
almost the same in BEA'S enterprise data and

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

the Census Bureau establishment data—3,229,200
and 3,228,900, respectively. The 3OO-employee
difference reflects the net effect of differences in
coverage, definition, and measurement; these differences are discussed in the technical note, which
begins on page 54.
Although close at the aggregate level, the BEA
and Census Bureau data for individual industries often differed significantly. The differences
tended to be largest for the industries that
contained a concentration of highly diversified
enterprises—that is, enterprises with significant
portions of their activities accounted for by establishments in secondary industries. The larger
enterprises in wholesale trade and manufacturing tended to be particularly diversified. Almost
one-half of the employment of foreign-owned en-

terprises in wholesale trade was accounted for by
establishments in secondary industries—mainly
manufacturing, retail trade, and services. Similarly, about one-fourth of the employment of
foreign-owned enterprises in manufacturing was
accounted for by establishments in secondary
industries—mainly wholesale trade, retail trade,
services, and mining.
Overview of the 1987 Establishment Data
In 1987, foreign-owned U.S. companies that
linked had 66,900 establishments employing
3,228,900 workers with a payroll of $81.1 billion.
These foreign-owned establishments accounted
for i percent of the number, 4 percent of the employment, and 5 percent of the payroll of all U.S.

NOTE.—In this table, unlike in most BEA tables published elsewhere on direct investment, petroleum is not shown as a separate major industry. Instead, in order to be consistent with Census
Bureau practice, data for the various petroleum subindustries are distributed among the other
major industries. Thus, manufacturing includes petroleum and coal products, wholesale trade includes petroleum wholesale trade, retail trade includes gasoline service stations, and so on.

business establishments.4 Their shares of employment and payroll were larger than their share
of the number of establishments because they
tend to be larger, on average, than U.S.-owned
establishments. Also, foreign-owned establishments tend to be more concentrated in industries,
such as manufacturing, in which establishments
were relatively large.
Table A shows, at a highly aggregated industry level, each of the items available for
foreign-owned establishments: Number of establishments, employment, payroll, and shipments
or sales.5 More detailed data are shown in tables
1-7 at the end of the article.
By industry
Among the major industries, foreign-owned establishments' shares of all-U.S.-business employment were largest in mining (14 percent), manufacturing (7 percent), and wholesale trade (6
percent). Foreign-owned establishments also accounted for relatively large shares of payroll and
shipments in these industries: In mining, 17
percent of both payroll and shipments; in manufacturing, 8 percent of payroll and 10 percent of
shipments; and in wholesale trade, 8 percent of
payroll and 15 percent of shipments. In order to
simplify the discussion and because shipments or
sales data are not available for some industries
(see footnote 5), the remainder of this section
focuses on employment.
Employment shares for foreign-owned establishments were smallest in agricultural services,
forestry, and fishing and in construction (i percent in each). They were also relatively small in
transportation and public utilities and in services
(2 percent in each).
Among the manufacturing industries shown
in table A, employment shares for foreignowned establishments were largest in chemicals
(21 percent), petroleum and coal products (16
percent), stone, clay, and glass products (12 percent), primary met^l industries (n percent), and
electric and electronic equipment (n percent).
Shares were smallest in apparel and other textile products (i percent), "other manufacturing"
4. The all-U.S.-business data used for these comparisons were taken from
the Census Bureau's Economic Censuses and County Business Patterns publications. Together, the data in these publications provide broad coverage of
the U.S. economy, accounting for about 97 percent of private U.S. employment in 1987. In terms of types of establishments, industries, and geographic
areas of the United States, the coverage of the all-U.S.-business data is the
same as that for foreign-owned establishments (see the technical note).
5. Shipments or sales data are available only for foreign-owned establishments in industries covered by the Census Bureau's 1987 Economic Censuses,
which consist of the Census of Retail Trade, Census of Wholesale Trade, Census of Service Industries, Census of Transportation, Census of Manufactures,
Census of Mineral Industries, and Census of Construction Industries.

(2 percent), lumber and wood products (2 percent), furniture and fixtures (3 percent), and
transportation equipment (3 percent). Within
transportation equipment, foreign-owned establishments' share of total employment in motor vehicle manufacturing, which includes both
automobile and truck manufacturing, was 5
percent.
At the sic four-digit level, foreign-owned establishments had operations in 424 of the 459
industries in manufacturing. Their shares of total employment varied considerably across these
424 industries. In 175 of these industries, foreignowned establishments accounted for under 5
percent of total employment, whereas in 25 industries, they accounted for over 25 percent
(table B). In a few of the industries in the latter
group, they accounted for over 50 percent of total employment. For example, in both hydraulic
cement and noncellulosic organic fibers (which
consists mainly of polyester and nylon manufacturing), foreign-owned establishments accounted
for more than 60 percent of total employment.
As might be expected^ most of the fourdigit industries with the largest employment
shares for foreign-owned establishments were in
the two-digit industries with the largest shares
for foreign-owned establishments. For example, of the 25 four-digit industries in which the
foreign-owned share was 25 percent or more, 9
were in chemicals, 5 were in primary metals,
and 3 were in electric and electronic equipment. However, some were in the two-digit
industries—such as food, textiles, and nonelectrical machinery—in which foreign-owned establishments had relatively small employment
shares.
By country
Establishments with ultimate beneficial owners
(UBO'S) in the United Kingdom and Canada
had by far the largest employment.6 British6. An "ultimate beneficial owner" (UBO) is that person, proceeding up
a U.S. affiliate's ownership chain, beginning with and including the foreign
parent, that is not owned more than 50 percent by another person. A "foreign parent" is the first person outside the United States in a U.S. affiliate's

owned establishments had 662,000 employees—
20 percent of all employment by foreign-owned
establishments (tables 3 and 4). Canadianowned establishments had 540,000 employees, 17
percent of the total. The next largest employers were German-owned establishments, with
392,000 employees (12 percent), and Japaneseowned establishments, with 296,000 employees
(9 percent).
In manufacturing, the distribution of employment by country of UBO was similar to that for all
industries combined. In mining, establishments
with UBO'S in Canada, the United Kingdom,
and the Netherlands had the largest employment.
In wholesale trade, establishments with UBO'S
in Japan had the largest employment; establishments with UBO'S in the United Kingdom and
Germany also had sizable employment.
Within manufacturing, distributions of employment by country of UBO varied substantially among individual industries. An example is the distributions for stone, clay, and
glass products and for electric and electronic
equipment—two of the manufacturing industries in which foreign-owned establishments accounted for relatively large shares of all-U.S.business employment.
In stone, clay, and
glass products, employment was highly concentrated in British-owned establishments, which
accounted for 37 percent of employment by
all foreign-owned establishments in the industry. In contrast, in electric and electronic
equipment, employment by foreign-owned establishments was more evenly distributed: Establishments with UBO'S in four countries—the
United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Japan, and
Germany—each accounted for 14 to 29 percent of
employment by all foreign-owned establishments
in the industry.
In the other three manufacturing industries in
which foreign-owned establishments accounted
for relatively large shares of all-U.S.-business
employment—chemicals, petroleum and coal
products, and primary metals—the distributions
of employment by country of UBO were neither as concentrated as that for stone, clay,
and glass nor as dispersed as that for electric and electronic equipment. In chemicals,
establishments with UBO'S in two countries—
Canada and Germany—accounted for particularly large shares of total employment by
ownership chain that has a direct investment interest in the affiliate. Note
that a UBO, unlike a foreign parent, may be a U.S. person. A U.S. affiliate
(and its establishments) must, by definition, have a foreign parent (that is, a
foreign person must own at least 10 percent of it), even if the UBO is a U.S.
person.

foreign-owned establishments.
Similarly, in
petroleum and coal products, establishments
with UBO'S in the Netherlands and in the
United Kingdom had particularly large employment shares. In primary metals, establishments with UBO'S in three countries—Japan,
Canada, and France—had particularly large
shares.
By State
The States with the largest employment by
foreign-owned establishments were California
(376,000 employees), New York (335,000), and
Texas (218,000) (table 7). The States in which
foreign-owned establishments accounted for the
largest shares of employment were Delaware (13
percent) and Hawaii (7 percent). The next largest
shares were in New Jersey, North Carolina, South
Carolina, and West Virginia (6 percent each).
In manufacturing, foreign-owned establishments had the largest employment shares in
Delaware (38-75 percent), Alaska (19 percent) and
West Virginia (17 percent).7 In Delaware, the
large share reflected a foreign owner's minority stake in a U.S. chemical company that had
substantial employment in the State. In Alaska,
foreign-owned establishments accounted for almost one-third of all food manufacturing employment, most of which was in fish and seafood
processing. In West Virginia, foreign-owned establishments accounted for over 50 percent of
chemicals manufacturing employment.
In mining, foreign-owned establishments accounted for significant shares of total employment in many States. Over 50 percent
of all U.S. mining employment was in seven
States—Texas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, California,
Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania—
and in each of these States, foreign-owned
establishments accounted for at least 12 percent of the mining employment. The largest
share—22 percent—was in West Virginia. In
Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma, foreignowned establishments had particularly large
employment shares in oil and gas extraction. In California, their share was particularly large in nonmetallic minerals mining.
In Kentucky, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, they had a particularly large share in coal
mining.

Characteristics of Manufacturing Industries
With Substantial Foreign Investment
Activity
This section constructs a profile of the manufacturing industries in which FDIUS tends to
be most prominent. The industry characteristics examined—capital intensity, skill level of the
workforce, plant scale, and research and development (R&D) activity—are those for which data
are readily available and are among those frequently mentioned as being important to foreign
direct investment activity.8 In the analysis, data
for foreign-owned establishments in an industry
are used in conjunction with data on the characteristics of the industry as a whole.9' Capital
intensity, skill level, and plant scale are gauged
using data from the 1987 Census of Manufactures
for 459 separate manufacturing industries. R&D
activity is gauged using more aggregated data for
54 manufacturing industries from a BEA survey
of U.S. direct investment abroad.10
The statistical findings reported in this section
indicate that in 1987 foreign-owned establishments tended to be more active in manufacturing
industries characterized by higher capital intensity: In the 50 most capital-intensive industries,
the average share of employment by foreignowned establishments was 15.0 percent, while in
the 50 least capital-intensive industries, their average employment share was 4.2 percent. The
results also indicate that foreign-owned establishments were more concentrated in manufacturing
industries that require a higher level of employee
skill: Their average employment share in the 50
most skill-intensive industries was 12.5 percent,
compared with an average share of 2.4 percent in
8. For example, some argue that foreign direct investment will be undertaken mainly by firms possessing an advantage, such as proprietary technology
or superior management, that offsets the disadvantages associated with operating in a distant and alien environment. Firms with such advantages tend to
be in industries requiring advanced technologies or a highly skilled workforce.
For summaries of these and other factors that may influence direct investment decisions, see Richard E. Caves, Multinational Enterprise and Economic
Analysis (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1982), and John Cantwell,
"A Survey of Theories of International Production," in C.N. Pitelis and R.
Sugden, The Nature of the Transnational Firm (London: Routledge, 1991).
9. Data on several of these characteristics, which are now available only
for all U.S. businesses in each industry, will become separately available for
foreign-owned establishments next year, when the link is expanded to include
items from the Annual Survey of Manufactures.
10. A question of major interest that cannot be answered from the industry data is the degree to which foreign-owned establishments utilize "critical
technologies" affecting national security or long-term economic competitiveness. The U.S. Department of Defense and the National Critical Technologies
Panel have published lists of critical technologies that itemize both the processes that use such technologies and the specific products that embody them.
However, these processes and products cannot be readily associated with
industry information, even at the four-digit level, because most industries
produce a mix of products, some of which embody critical technologies and
some of which do not. In addition, multiple technologies may exist for producing some products, and information is not available to determine which
technologies have been adopted by specific establishments.




the 50 least skill-intensive industries. The results
show no significant relationship between foreign
ownership activity and the average scale of plant
operations.
At the more aggregated level of 54 manufacturing industries, the results show a significant
tendency for foreign-owned establishments to
operate in industries with the most R&D activity.
The average share of employment by foreignowned establishments in the R&D-intensive industries was 12.0 percent, compared with an
average share of 7.3 percent in all other industries.
Capital intensity, skill level, and plant scale
Based on data from the 1987 Census of Manufactures, measures of capital intensity, skill level,
and plant scale have been constructed for each
of the 459 four-digit manufacturing industries.
Capital intensity (the utilization of physical capital relative to labor) is measured as the nonpayroll
share of value added (the share of factor payments not going to wages and salaries).11 Skill
level (sometimes termed human capital intensity) is measured in two ways: (i) Payroll cost
per employee, which reflects both occupational
structure and the accumulation of skills within
occupations, and (2) wages per hour of production workers, a less comprehensive measure that
reflects the skills of production workers only.
Plant scale (the average scale of plant operations
in an industry) is measured as value added per
establishment.
In table C, the measures of capital intensity,
skill level, and plant scale are related to foreign investment activity, measured as the share of
industry employment accounted for by foreignowned establishments. Across the 459 industries,
foreign investment activity is most strongly correlated with capital intensity (measured as the
nonpayroll share of value added), suggesting that
foreign-owned establishments were most active in
industries with automated production processes.
The average value of this measure increases from
less than 60 percent in the 35 industries with zero
employment by foreign-owned establishments to
about 70 percent in the 29 industries in which the
foreign-owned establishments' share of employment ranged from 15 to 20 percent. The average
is 66 percent in the 25 industries with the most
foreign investment activity.
The tendency for foreign-owned establishments to operate in capital-intensive industries
11. Because the data needed to measure it directly are not available, capital
intensity is measured indirectly by the share of factor payments not going to
labor.

can also be seen by comparing their activity in
the 50 most capital-intensive industries with their
activity in the 50 least capital-intensive industries.
The average employment share of foreign-owned
establishments in the 50 most capital-intensive
industries was 15.0 percent, almost four times
their average share of 4.2 percent in the 50 least
capital-intensive industries. Among the 50 most
capital-intensive industries, foreign-owned establishments accounted for at least 15 percent of
employment in 21 industries (17 of which were in
food processing or chemicals) and less than i percent of employment in only 6 industries. Among
the 50 least capital-intensive industries, foreignowned establishments accounted for at least 15
percent of employment in only 2 industries (both
of which were in household furniture) and less
than i percent of employment in 14 industries.
Table C also shows that foreign-owned establishments tended to be most active in industries
requiring a high level of employee skill. Foreign investment activity is positively correlated
with both payroll per employee and production

NOTE.—The measures of capital intensity, worker skill level, and plant scale were computed
for all U.S. businesses in each of the 459 four-digit manufacturing industries using data from
the Census of Manufactures. The averages shown are the unweighted averages of these
measures for all industries in a given size group (defined by the share of industry employment
accounted for by foreign-owned establishments).

worker hourly wages.12 In the table, the industry averages for these two measures display a
nearly uniform tendency to increase with foreign
investment activity. Average payroll per employee increases from $18,933 in the 35 industries
with zero employment by foreign-owned establishments to $27,380 in the 25 industries with the
most foreign investment activity. Between these
same two groups of industries, the average value
of hourly wages of production workers increases
from $8.39 to $11.87.
Across the 459 industries, the two measures of
worker skill level were highly correlated with one
another: The industries with higher payroll per
employee were also the industries with higher
hourly wages for production workers.13 For payroll per employee, the average employment share
of foreign-owned establishments in the 50 most
skill-intensive industries was 12.5 percent, more
than five times their average employment share
of 2.4 percent in the 50 least skill-intensive industries. Among the 50 most skill-intensive industries, foreign-owned establishments accounted
for at least 15 percent of employment in 15 industries (8 of which were in chemicals) and for
less than i percent of employment in 8 industries (3 of which were in aerospace). Among the
50 least skill-intensive industries, foreign-owned
establishments accounted for at least 15 percent
of employment in only i industry and for less
than i percent of employment in 32 industries
(22 of which were in textiles and apparel). Similar results hold for hourly wages of production
workers.
The results in table C show no correlation
between foreign investment activity and the
measure of plant scale (value added per establishment). Foreign investment activity was
high both in industries with large-scale plant
operations (for example, industries in chemicals, primary metals, and food processing) and
in industries with small-scale plant operations
(for example, industries in furniture, machinery,
and stone, clay, and glass products). Employment by foreign-owned establishments was zero
in two of the top four industries in terms of
value added per establishment—guided missiles
and space vehicles, and cereal breakfast foods.

establishments of each of six major investing
countries—Canada, France, Germany, Japan, the
Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. These six
countries together accounted for three-quarters
of the manufacturing employment of all foreignowned establishments in 1987. Except for plant
scale, which is not significantly correlated with
the employment shares of any of the six countries, the relations vary significantly among the
countries according to their industry composition of investment. Across the 459 industries, the
measure of capital intensity is significantly correlated with the employment shares of all of the
countries except France and Japan. Both measures of employee skill level are significantly correlated with the employment shares of Canada,
Germany, and the United Kingdom, but not with
those of the other three countries.

Table D shows the relationship between the
employment shares of the establishments of the
six investing countries and industry capital intensity, as measured by the nonpayroll share of

British-owned establishments. The average employment share of British-owned establishments
increases from 0.4 percent in the 5 industries

industries were in food processing and tobacco
products.
In table E, the employment shares of the establishments of the six investing countries are
related to payroll per employee, the broader
measure of employee skill level. Among the six
investing countries, the correlation between the
share of employment and the skill level of the
workforce is strongest for German-owned establishments. The average employment share of
German-owned establishments increases from 0.2
percent for the 54 industries with payroll per
employee under $15,000 to 2.2 percent for the
41 industries with payroll per employee between
$30,000 and $35,000. Altogether, German-owned
establishments accounted for at least 3 percent of
industry employment in 13 of the 50 industries
with the highest payroll per employee; 8 of the 13
were in chemicals.
Research and development
Enterprise data on employees engaged in R&D are
collected by BEA for U.S. parent companies with
direct investment abroad and are classified by
BEA'S International Surveys Industry (isi) code.
For manufacturing, there are 54 isi groups. Because U.S. parent companies account for a large
share of economic activity in most U.S. manufacturing industries, the ratio of R&D employees
to total employment in a given industry for these
companies is taken to be representative of the degree of R&D activity in the industry as a whole.14
14. The R&D employment data used here are from BEA'S 1989 Benchmark
Survey of U.S. Direct Investment Abroad. An alternative source of enterprise
data on R&D by manufacturing industry is that published by the National
Science Foundation (NSF) in Research and Development in Industry: 1987. The
suppression by NSF of the R&D data for some industries, however, severely

To relate this measure to data on foreign-owned
establishments, employment shares of foreignowned establishments in the 54 isi manufacturing
groups were calculated.
The relationship between R&D activity in
these 54 industries and the foreign-owned establishments' employment shares—total and by
country—is shown in table F. Across the 54 industries, the share of employment accounted for
by all foreign-owned establishments is mildly correlated with the percentage of employees engaged
in R&D.15 The average share increases from 6.6
percent in the 21 industries with an R&D employment ratio of less than 2 percent to 13.9
percent in the 7 industries with an R&D employment ratio of 6-8 percent, then drops to 8.7
percent in the 4 industries with an R&D employment ratio of 8 percent or more. The figure
for the latter group was depressed by the low
share (less than 2 percent) in "other transportation equipment." Most of the R&D activity in this
industry, which includes aircraft and guided missiles, is by defense-related companies, which are
effectively shielded from acquisition by foreign
companies.16 The average employment share for
limits the usefulness of the NSF published data for cross-industry statistical
analysis. The NSF published data are also considerably more aggregated than
the BEA data on the R&D of U.S. parent companies. In table B-2 of the
NSF report, data on R&D employment and total company employment are
reported for 12 of the 20 sic two-digit industries in manufacturing. To check
for consistency with the NSF data, the BEA data on R&D employment and total
company employment by isi group were aggregated to the sic two-digit level.
Across the 12 two-digit industries for which NSF published data are available,
the coefficient of correlation between the R&D employment ratio using BEA
data and the ratio using NSF data is 0.919.
15. The share of employment by foreign-owned establishments is also
mildly correlated with an alternative measure of industry R&D activity—
expenditures on R&D performed for U.S. parent companies as a percentage
of U.S. parent company sales, which was also available from BEA data.

foreign-owned establishments in the other three
industries in the group was 11.1 percent.
In the 11 industries with an R&D employment
ratio of 6 percent or more (hereafter referred
to as "high-technology industries"), the average employment share was 12.0 percent, almost
twice as large as the /.3-percent average share
in the other 43 industries. If "other transportation equipment" is excluded, foreign-owned
establishments' average employment share in the
high-technology industries was 13.1 percent.17
Among individual industries, foreign-owned establishments accounted for at least 10 percent of
the employment in 5 of the n high-technology
industries; 3 of these industries were in chemicals,
and 2 were in electric and electronic equipment.
Among the six major investing countries, the
correlation between employment shares and R&D
activity is strongest for Japan and Germany.
Among the high-technology industries, Japaneseowned establishments had relatively large employment shares in the computer and electronics
industries, and German-owned establishments
had large shares in chemicals. The correlation
between employment shares and R&D activity is
weakest for British-owned establishments, which
had relatively large employment shares in a number of industries—mostly in food processing and
in stone, clay, and glass products—with very low
R&D employment ratios.

els can be addressed because payroll per employee
can be computed for both foreign-owned and
U.S.-owned establishments.
In 1987, payroll per employee for foreignowned establishments in all industries combined
was $25,106, 29 percent higher than the $19,416 for
U.S.-owned establishments. In manufacturing,
payroll per employee for foreign-owned establishments was $27,983,12 percent higher than the
$24,886 for U.S.-owned establishments.
To some extent, the higher average payroll
per employee for foreign-owned establishments
merely reflects the concentration of these establishments in industries with higher-than-average
payroll per employee. In manufacturing, however, payroll per employee of foreign-owned establishments was also higher within most—over
two-thirds—of the sic two-digit manufacturing
industries (table G). For one-half of the industries, payroll per employee for foreign-owned
establishments exceeded that for U.S.-owned
establishments by more than 10 percent.
In some cases, the results for the sic twodigit industries reflect a tendency for foreignowned establishments to be concentrated in the
sic four-digit industries with the highest payroll per employee. For example, in stone,
clay, and glass products, payroll per employee
for foreign-owned establishments was about 12
rect Investment in the United States, 2nd edition (Washington, DC: Institute
for International Economics, 1991).

Payroll per Employee of Foreign- and
U.S.-Owned Manufacturing Establishments
The preceding section found that foreign investment activity tended to be highest in industries
with above-average capital intensity, skill levels, and R&D activity. A question arises as to
whether these characteristics differ significantly
between foreign-owned establishments and their
U.S.-owned counterparts in the same industries.
Establishment-level data are not available to answer this question for capital intensity or R&D
activity,18 but the issue of differences in skill levProduction Act. This amendment grants the President authority to suspend
or prohibit foreign acquisitions, mergers, or takeovers that threaten to impair
the national security.
17. If this industry is excluded, the coefficient of correlation between the
R&D employment share and the affiliate share of employment is 0.404 instead
of 0.286.
18. BEA'S enterprise data include information on U.S. affiliates' capital
stock and R&D expenditures. Because the capital stock measure for U.S. affiliates differs in valuation and classification from available enterprise-level
measures for all U.S. businesses, the capital intensity of U.S. affiliates and
all U.S. businesses cannot be readily compared. For R&D expenditures,
enterprise-level comparisons have been made. For example, in a recent study,
Edward M. Graham and Paul R. Krugman found the R&D expenditures per
worker of manufacturing affiliates was roughly comparable with that of all
U.S. businesses. See Edward M. Graham and Paul R. Krugman, Foreign Di-

percent higher than that for U.S.-owned establishments. Much of this difference, however,
reflects foreign-owned establishments' large share
of employment in industries, such as flat glass
and hydraulic cement, that are among the top
50 in terms of payroll per employee and their
very low share of employment in industries, such
as cut stone and miscellaneous pottery products,
characterized by low payroll per employee.
In general, however, a more systematic examination of the four-digit manufacturing industry
data indicates that payroll per employee is higher
for foreign-owned establishments than for U.S.owned establishments, though the difference is
smaller than that indicated by the overall ratios
for manufacturing. For the 201 industries with
at least 10 foreign-owned establishments,19 the
unweighted average payroll per employee for the
foreign-owned establishments was $26,036, 5 percent higher than the unweighted average for the
U.S.-owned establishments.20 Among the fourdigit industries examined, many had significantly
higher payroll per employee for foreign-owned
establishments than for U.S.-owned establishments, and relatively few had significantly lower
payroll per employee. As the following tabulation
indicates, payroll per employee for foreign-owned
establishments was at least 5 percent higher than
that for U.S.-owned establishments in 100 of the
201 industries examined; in contrast, payroll per
employee for foreign-owned establishments was
at least 5 percent lower in only 38 industries.

Payroll per employee for foreign-owned establishments may have been higher because these
establishments had an occupational mix weighted
more heavily with higher skilled occupations than
other establishments in the same industry, perhaps reflecting the use of different technologies.
Other factors may have also played a role. For
19. In industries with only a few foreign-owned establishments, the industry ratio of payroll per employee may be distorted by the special circumstances
of one or more establishments. When establishments are created or shut
down during the year, data for the numerator may not be comparable with
data in the denominator. Because of this problem, the payroll-per-employee
comparisons for four-digit industries were limited to industries with at least
10 foreign-owned establishments.
20. A formal statistical test indicated that the mean values from the two
samples were significantly different. The computed (-statistic was 2.41, indicating a significant difference (at the 5-percent confidence level) between the

example, foreign-owned establishments may have
paid higher wage rates at a given skill level than
U.S.-owned establishments because they tended
to be located in high-wage areas or because they
faced labor market conditions that differed from
those faced by U.S.-owned establishments. The
currently available data make it difficult to assess
the relative importance of these factors. However, in 1993, additional information from the
project linking BEA and Census Bureau data will
be available to facilitate evaluation of their relative importance; a key series will be data on
the hourly wage rates paid by foreign-owned
establishments.

Technical Note
BEA'S data on foreign-owned enterprises were
linked to the Census Bureau's establishment data
primarily by matching employer identification
numbers (EIN'S). EIN'S are identification numbers that companies are required to use when
filing Federal and State payroll and income taxes;
they were reported on BEA'S 1987 benchmark survey of foreign direct investment in the United
States and are included in the Census Bureau's
establishment files. Some enterprises failed to
link based on EIN'S; in many of these cases, a
link was established by using other identification
information, such as names and addresses.
Overall, about 90 percent of the BEA affiliates
with employment linked to one or more Census
Bureau establishments.21 Based on the BEA data,
affiliates that linked had 3,229,200 employees and
accounted for 97 percent of the employment of
all U.S. affiliates (table H).22
In most industries, virtually all of the employment of BEA enterprises was accounted for by
affiliates that linked to Census Bureau establishments. Of the 104,700 employees of affiliates
that failed to link, most were in manufacturing (54,200 employees), services (15,800), and
wholesale trade (9,200).
For affiliates that linked, the employment total
based on the Census Bureau establishment data,
at 3,228,900 (column 3 of table H), was very close
to the total based on BEA'S enterprise data. The
300-employee difference (column 4) reflects the
net effect of differences in coverage, definition,
and measurement.
21. To be consistent with the all-U.S.-business data published by the
Census Bureau, the U.S.-affiliate establishment data cover only firms with
employment.
22. The BEA employment totals in column i of table H are from U.S.
Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis, Foreign Direct
Investment in the United States: 1987 Benchmark Survey, Final Results
(Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, August 1990).

October 1992 • 55

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Coverage differences exist partly because the
Census Bureau data do not cover agricultural
production of crops and livestock or railroad
transportation, whereas the BEA data do. Also,
the Census Bureau data cover only the 50 States
and the District of Columbia, whereas the BEA
data also cover Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands,
Guam, American Samoa, U.S. offshore oil and
gas sites, other outlying U.S. areas, and the employees of U.S. affiliates working abroad. Based
on the BEA data, employment in the industries
and geographic areas covered by the BEA data but
not by the Census Bureau data was 47,300 in 1987.
The effects of differences in definition and
measurement partly offset the effects of the differences in coverage. For example, in the BEA data,
employment is defined as the level at the end of
the affiliate's fiscal year. In the Census Bureau
data, employment is defined as the level during

the pay period that includes March 12. Endof-year employment can differ from March 12
employment because of seasonal factors and because some establishments begin or discontinue
operations during the year.
The BEA and Census Bureau employment totals also differ because of the few cases in which
employment of a given company was measured
incorrectly in one or the other data set. In
some of these cases, companies provided estimates of their employment, rather than actual
counts, when reporting to one of the agencies.
For some individual industries, the difference
between the BEA and Census Bureau employment totals is quite large. The principal reason
for these differences is that, as discussed earlier,
the data are classified differently by industry in
the two data sets: The BEA data are classified by
primary industry of the consolidated enterprise,

NOTE—In this table, unlike in most BEA tables published elsewhere on direct investment, petroleum is not shown as a separate major industry. Instead, in order to be consistent with Census

whereas the Census Bureau data are classified by
the industry of each individual establishment, or
plant, within the enterprise. Differences in the
industry employment totals are largest in mining
(BEA'S total is 66,200 employees lower than the
Census Bureau's total), manufacturing (BEA'S total is 267,600 higher), retail trade (BEA'S total is
74,900 lower), and services (BEA'S total is 116,200
lower). Within manufacturing, the largest differences are in chemicals (BEA'S total is 220,900
higher) and petroleum and coal products (BEA'S
total is 72,300 higher).
Table I provides additional information on
how the differences in coverage, definition, measurement, and industry classification affect the
industry distribution of the data. Like table H,

table I shows the BEA enterprise and the Census
Bureau establishment employment totals for U.S.
affiliates that linked (columns i and 2). However, in table I, the Census Bureau employment
data are classified by the BEA industry rather
than by the Census Bureau industry—that is,
column 2 shows the distribution of Census Bureau employment data that would result if the
employment of all establishments were classified in the primary industry of the enterprise
of which they were a part. This approach removes the effects of classificational differences
between the two data sets, leaving, as shown
in column 25, only the effects of differences in
coverage, definition, and measurement. For example, for agriculture, forestry, and fishing, the

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

BEA employment total is 10,000 employees higher
than the Census Bureau total largely because, as
noted earlier, coverage of agriculture is broader
in the BEA data. Other industries with relatively large differences are services (BEA'S total
is 36,300 lower), finance, insurance, and real
estate (BEA'S total is 23,900 lower), and manufacturing (BEA'S total is 25,000 higher). In
each of these industries, the differences are primarily due to differences in measurement. For
example, in services, a few companies that provide temporary employment services reported
much smaller employment to BEA than to the

Census Bureau, they treated these workers as
employees.
Table I also breaks down each industry's
enterprise-based employment total into the industries of the establishments. That is, for
each BEA industry, columns 3-24 cross-classify
the employment total shown in column 2 by
the industry of each Census Bureau establishment. For example, column 2 shows that total
employment in enterprises classified in wholesale trade is 321,100, whereas column 19 shows
that only 169,600 of these employees actually
worked in wholesale trade establishments. The
remaining employees worked mainly in manufacturing (123,200), retail trade (10,700), and
services (7,700) establishments. Similarly, total

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
employment by enterprises classified in manufacturing is 1,463,200, but only 1,119,100, or about
three-fourths of the total, worked in manufacturing establishments. The rest worked mainly in
wholesale trade, retail trade, services, and mining establishments. For some industries, nearly
all of the employment total on an enterprise basis remains in the same industry when that total
is broken down by industry of establishment.
For example, of the 536,300 employees of retail trade enterprises, 94 percent worked in retail
trade establishments. Similarly, 89 percent of the
310,800 employees of services enterprises worked
in services establishments.
The matrix format of table I also enables one
to see how the total for each industry on an
establishment basis is distributed when crossclassified by industry of enterprise. The first
row of the table shows the employment total for
each industry on an establishment basis. Rows
2-23 show how the industry totals in row i
are distributed by industry of enterprise. For

example, the employment total for manufacturing establishments is 1,311,400 (row i, column
6). Reading down the column for manufacturing shows that about 85 percent of this total
(1,119,100 employees) was accounted for by enterprises classified in manufacturing, with most
of the remaining employees working for enterprises classified in wholesale trade. In motor
vehicle manufacturing, only one-third of the
40,500 employee total on an establishment basis was accounted for by enterprises classified
in motor vehicle manufacturing. Almost onehalf of the employment in the industry was
accounted for by enterprises classified in motor vehicle wholesale trade. For some industries,
most of the establishments were operated by enterprises classified in the same industries. For
example, 95 percent of the employment by finance, insurance, and real estate establishments
was accounted for by enterprises classified in that
industry.

the Census Bureau publications from which they were taken, they were rounded on this basis.
2. In accordance with Census Bureau practice, percentages between 0 and 0.15 are shown as 0.1.
3. Includes "land subdivides and developers, except cemeteries" (SIC 6552).

In this table, unlike in most BEA tables published elsewhere on direct investment, petroleum is not shown as
a separate major industry. Instead, in order to be consistent with Census Bureau practice, data for the various
petroleum subindustries 'are distributed among the other major industries. Thus, manufacturing includes petroleum
and coal products, wholesale trade includes petroleum wholesale trade, retail trade includes gasoline service stations,
and so on.

NOTE.—In this table, unlike in most BEA tables published elsewhere on direct investment, petroleum is not shown
as a separate major industry. Instead, in order to be consistent with Census Bureau practice, data for the various
petroleum subindustries are distributed among the other major industries. Thus, manufacturing includes petroleum
and coal products, wholesale trade includes petroleum wholesale trade, retail trade includes gasoline service stations,
and so on.

In this table, unlike in most BEA tables published elsewhere on direct investment, petroleum is not shown as
a separate major industry. Instead, in order to be consistent with Census Bureau practice, data for the various
petroleum subindustries are distributed among the other major industries. Thus, manufacturing includes petroleum
and coal products, wholesale trade includes petroleum wholesale trade, retail trade includes gasoline service stations,
and so on.

NOTE.—In this table, unlike in most BEA tables published elsewhere on direct investment, petroleum is not shown
as a separate major industry. Instead, in order to be consistent with Census Bureau practice, data for the various
petroleum subindustries are distributed among the other major industries. Thus, manufacturing includes petroleum
ar)
d coal products, wholesale trade includes petroleum wholesale trade, retail trade includes gasoline service stations,
and so on.

2. Excludes railroads.
3. A range is shown in this column if the column for employment of U.S. affiliates in the same industry and
State contains an employment size range. The minimum value for the range was computed by dividing the minimum
value of the size range for employment of U.S. affiliates by the employment of all U.S. businesses in the same
industry and State. Similarly, the maximum value for the range was computed by dividing the maximum value for
employment of U.S. affiliates by the employment of all U.S. businesses in the same industry and State.

In this table, unlike in most BEA tables published elsewhere on direct investment, petroleum is not shown as
a separate major industry. Instead, in order to be consistent with Census Bureau practice, data for the various
petroleum subindustries are distributed among the other major industries. Thus, manufacturing includes petroleum
and coal products, wholesale trade includes petroleum wholesale trade, retail trade includes gasoline service stations,

and so on.

New, Highly Detailed Data on Foreign Investment

FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN THE UNITED STATES:
Establishment Data for 1987
This volume contains the initial results of an effort by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the
Bureau of the Census to expand U.S. Government data on foreign direct investment in the United States.
The volume provides information on the U.S. operations of foreign companies in much greater industry
detail, both nationally and in individual States, than has been available in the past. Over 800
4-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) industries are covered. The data show the number,
employment, payroll, and shipments or sales of the establishments of U.S. affiliates and are broken down
by industry, by State, and by country of ultimate beneficial owner.
FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT
IN THE UNITED STATES

The new data in this volume were obtained by linking BEA
company-level data on foreign direct investment with Census Bureau establishment-(plant-)level data for all U.S.
companies. This initial link covered 1987 because that year
is both agencies' latest census year, when reporting is the
most complete.

L,C,Lg,U Cyclical indicator series are classified as L (leading), C (coincident), Lg (lagging), or U (unclassified) at reference cycle peaks, troughs, and overall. Series classifications
are shown in parentheses following the series titles.
t Cyclical indicator series denoted by J are inverted (i.e., the sign is reversed) for cyclical analysis calculations, including classifications, contributions to composite indexes,
and current high values,
t Cyclical indicator series denoted by t 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 C47 and C-48.

Coincident Indexes" in the June 1992 SURVEY.

Annual Revision of Composite Indexes
The composite indexes of leading, coincident, and lagging indicators (series 910, 920, and 930) have been revised from January 1987 through August 1992. These
revisions incorporate revised data for component series but do not involve changes in the composition of the indexes or in the standardization or trend factors. One leading
index component, average weekly initial claims for unemployment insurance (series 5), has been redefined to include initial claims made under the July 1992 Emergency
Unemployment Compensation amendments. 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.

@ Data include resident armed forces.
t See note y for p. S-8.

PageS-10
t The unemployment rates are the number of unemployed in each group as a percent of the civilian
labor force in that group.
§ Effective with June 1992 SURVEY, data have been revised, back to April 1990, unadjusted, and
back to Jan. 1987, seasonally adjusted, to reflect new benchmarks and seasonal adjustment factors.
The June 1992 issue of Employment and Earnings contains a detailed description of the effects of
these revisions. All of the revised historical series are published in a special supplement to Employment
and Earnings. This supplement, when combined with the historical bulletin, Employment, Hours, and
Earnings, United States, 1909-90 comprises the full historical series on national data obtained from the
establishment survey.

% This series is not seasonally adjusted because the seasonal component is small relative to the
trend-cycle and/or irregular components and consequently cannot be separated with sufficient precision.

2. Index as Oct. 1,1992: building, 424.4; construction, 470.3.
t Effective July 1992 SURVEY, data have been revised back to 1987. Effective July 1991 SURVEY,
data were revised back to 1986. Effective July 1990 SURVEY, data were revised back to 1985. Revised
data are available from the Construction Statistics Division at the Bureau of the Census, Washington,
DC 20233.
# Includes data for items not shown separately.
§ Data for Mar., May, Aug., and Nov. 1990, and Jan., May, Aug., and Oct. 1991 are for five weeks;
other months four weeks.
# The fixed-weighted price index is a weighted average of the individual price index series used to
deflate the Value of New Construction Put in Place (VIP) series. In calculating the index, the weights (the
composition of current dollar VIP in 1987 by category of construction) are held constant. Consequently,
the index reflects only changes in prices. The implicit price deflator is a derived ratio of total current
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 1992 SURVEY, data have been
revised back to 1989.
§§ Effective March 1992 SURVEY, the Construction Contracts Valuation Index has a new base year
of 1987. Data have been revised back to 1983 and are available upon request.
