the BUSINESS SITUATION
J_ HE economy remained weak in the
third quarter. On the basis of information available in mid-September,
the annual rate of change in real GNP
was within a 3-percentage-point range
centered at zero.1 Although sales of
motor vehicles rebounded after their
second-quarter plunge, each category of
final sales excluding motor vehicles
continued lackluster performance and,
taken together, were down about as
much as in the second quarter. The increase in motor vehicle sales came out
of inventories, which had become excessive in the second quarter. The swing
from accumulation to liquidation of
motor vehicle inventories is likely to
have been partly offset by a move to a
higher rate of accumulation of other
inventories.
Inflation again was somewhat below the double-digit rate in the first
quarter. The increase in the fixedweighted price index for GNP apparently was a little more than the 8-percent annual rate in the second quarter.
Indexes for some components increased
more, and for others a little less, than
in the second quarter.
1. The major source data that shed light on
third-quarter GNP are limited to 1 or 2 months
of the quarter, and in some cases are preliminary.
These data are: For personal consumption expenditures (PCE), July and August retail sales,
unit sales of new autos through the first 10 days
of September, and sales of new trucks for July
and August; for nonresidential fitved investment,
the same data for autos and trucks as for PCE,
July construction put in place, July maufacturers' shipments of equipment, and business investment plans for the quarter; for residential investment, July construction put in place, and July
and August housing starts; for change in business
inventories, July book values for manufacturing
and trade, and unit auto inventories for July and
August; for net exports of goods and services,
July merchandise trade; for government purchases of goods and services, Federal unified
budget outlays for July, State and local construction put in place for July, and State and local
employment for July and August; and for GNP
prices, the Consumer Price Index for July and
the Producer Price Index for July and August.




The index for personal consumption
expenditures (PCE) was among those
that increased more—about T1/^ percent
at an annual rate compared with G1/^
percent in the second quarter. The increase in the prices of food accelerated
from a i^-percent increase in the second
quarter. The acceleration was due to
a turnaround in prices of food consumed at hoime, particularly meat and
poultry. Prices of restaurant meals continued to increase at the second-quarter
rate. In contrast, prices of energy
decelerated, probably registering a
slight decline. Gasoline prices declined
sharply after increasing 2% percent in
the second quarter; on a monthly basis,
they began to decline in April. Fuel
oil prices also declined. Prices of other
PCE goods and services increased
somewhat more than the 8 percent registered in the second quarter. Their increases have moved in a narrow range
of 7-9 percent over the past year.
Employment and unemployment.—
If August is taken as representative of
the third quarter, there was, on balance,
little change in labor market conditions. The payroll measure of employment increased 481,000, somewhat more
than in either of the two previous quarters (table 1). Employment increased
in services, trade, mining (largely because the coal strike had depressed employment in April and May), and
manufacturing, but continued to decline in government and construction.
Employment in construction fell to its
lowest level in more than 3 years. Average weekly hours in the private nonfarm economy were 35.3 unchanged
since the fourth quarter of 1980 and up
only 0.1 from the second-quarter 1980
recession/Manufacturing hours were
down 0.1 to 40.1.

The household measure of employment, which had registered an unusually large increase of 856,000 in the
second quarter, increased only 76,000 in
the third. Unemployment decreased
243,000, and the unemployment rate,
which had held steady at 7.4 percent in
the second quarter, dropped to 7.2 percent in the third.
Personal income and its disposition
Continued weakness in the economy
was visible in the components of personal income that are related to production. Wage and salary disbursements
registered a moderate increase—$33
billion (table 2) .2 It was larger than the
second-quarter increase mainly because
of the effects of the coal strike—the
strike reduced second-quarter wages
about $2% billion, and the resumption
of coal mining added about $2% billion
2. Quarterly estimates of the national income
and product accounts are expressed at seasonally
adjusted annual rates, and quarterly changes in
them are differences between these rates.

in the third quarter. Increases in wages
and salaries in manufacturing, distributive, services, and government were
similar to those in the second quarter.
Farm proprietors' income continued
to recover from its 31/4-year low recorded in the first quarter of 1981. The
second- and third-quarter increases
were similar in size—about $2^ ^billion—but different in their source. In
the third quarter, the increase was in
receipts from livestock marketings,
where a substantial increase in prices
more than offset a further cutback in
volume. In the second quarter, the increase had been in crop receipts, where
a sharp increase in volume had more
than offset a drop in prices.
Personal interest income increased
$15 billion. This increase was larger
than in the second quarter but fell short
of that in the first—mainly following
the course of interest rates. Personal
interest income has been the fastest
growing component of personal income.
Personal interest income and the procedures used to estimate it are described
in the accompanying Special Note.

September 1981

In real terms, disposable inconife increased 4 percent at an annual rate. Except in the second quarter, when it had
increased only l1/^ percent, increases in
real disposable income have been in the
range of 3-4 percent since the 1980 recession.
Seal PCE.—Aside from PCE on motor vehicles and parts, which recovered
about two-thirds of their second-quarter loss, PCE continued weak. It increased less than 1 percent at an annual
rate after increasing only iy2 percent
in the second quarter. In goods, all major categories except energy weakened. Gasoline increased—the first
strong increase in three quarters. In
services, the increase continued below
trend.
The effect on consumer spending of
the third-quarter increase in personal
income is hard to assess, because little
is known about the pattern of spending
out of cost-of-living adjustments to
transfer payments, which are one-shot,
received largely by retirees., and expected because they are legislated. However,
given the strength of real disposable income over the past year, the weakness of
PCE on other than motor vehicles must
be due to factors other than income.
The sharp decline of residential construction and high interest rates on consumer loans help explain the weakness
in furniture and household equipment.
The course of prices helps explain food
and energy: A third-quarter decline in
food, after two quarters of increase, coincides with the acceleration of food
prices, and the strong increase in gasoline coincides with the decline in its
price.
In motor vehicles, purchases of cars
were up sharply. Unit sales of domestic
new passenger cars averaged 8.2 million
(seasonally adjusted annual rate) in
July-August, up from 5.9 million in
the second quarter. Domestic sales in
August were boosted substantially by
cash rebate, dealer incentive., and interest subsidy programs, which helped reduce the overhang of inventories. August sales were up sharply for each size
category (chart 1). Sales of imported
cars, at 2.3 million in July-August,
were little changed from the second
quarter.

Other real final sales
Eesidential investment, which had
declined at a 23-percent annual rate in
the second quarter, declined at least as
sharply in the third. Both single-family

Single-family starts, which had declined 13 percent in the first quarter
and 10 percent in the second (not at an-

nual rates), dropped to 591,000 (seasonally adjusted annual rate) in August—
the lowest level since the series began
(chart 2). Multif amily starts, which
had held almost steady in the first quarter and declined 24 percent in the second, slid further in July-August.

Special Note.—Personal Interest Income
SINCE 1979, personal interest income
has increased about 50 percent. By the
third quarter of 1981, it accounted for
almost 13 percent of personal income,
compared with 10.8 percent in 1979 and
9.5-9.7 percent in the mid-1970's. Increases in personal interest income can
stem from increases in persons' holdings of interest-bearing assets and/or
from increases in the average interest
rate earned on these holdings. Data
needed for decomposition into these elements are lacking. However, because
increases in interest rates have been so
sharp, it is clear that the increase in
the average interest rate has been the
primary element. Shifts of portfolios
toward higher yielding assets as well as
increases in interest rates for particular
types of assets contributed to the increase in the average.
Personal interest income is defined in
the national income and product accounts as interest income of persons
from all sources. In addition to monetary interest, it includes imputed interest. (The inclusion of imputed interest
is part of a procedure that is necessary
to avoid the understatement of income
and product originating in financial
businesses that would otherwise arise
because these businesses provide some
services that are not matched by explicit
charges.)
Because interest income cannot be
estimated reliably on the basis of information either about persons' interest receipts or about the portions of interest payments made by business, government, and the rest of the world that
go to persons, an indirect estimating
procedure must be used. Interest received by persons is estimated as interest paid in the United States and the
interest paid by foreigners to the
United States less interest received in
the United States by transactors other
than persons and the interest paid in
the United States to foreigners.




This procedure can be stated algebraically. If interest is paid (p) and
received (r) by business (B), by persons (P), by government (G), and by
foreigners in transactions with the
United States (F), then:

liminary or incomplete; the estimates
become subject to a substantial margin
of error. The last year for which detailed estimates have been published is
1979. They are in table 8.7 of National
Income and Product Accounts, 1976-79
and are shown in summary form in the

are not regarded as payments for services produced by property supplied by foreigners to the United States, and are therefore
excluded from production in the rest of the world.

used. Estimates for years since the
latest IES tabulations are prepared by
extrapolating by the product of debt
outstanding (from the flow-of-funds
accounts of the Federal Eeserve Board)
and estimated interest rates. Quarterly
estimates of net monetary interest paid
by business for years for which there
are annual estimates are prepared by
interpolating annual estimates by indicator series that are the product of debt
outstanding, based primarily on the
flow-of-funds accounts, and interest
rates; other quarterly estimates are
prepared by extrapolating by past
trends with allowance for changes in
interest rates. For recent quarters, it is
generally assumed that changes in debt
outstanding have little impact on the
estimates.
(Ib) For net interest paid by the rest
of the world, estimates are based on the
balance of payments accounts. The balance of payments items in which interest is included are direct investment
receipts and payments, other private
receipts and payments, and U.S. Government receipts. These items are de-

scribed in Part II of the June 1978
SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
(2) For net interest paid by the
Federal Government, estimates are derived from the Budget of the United
States and the Monthly Treasury Statement. For net interest paid by State and
local governments, estimates are based
; on annual and quarterly Census Bureau
survey data.
(3) For interest paid by consumers
to business, estimates are based mainly
on Federal Eeserve data on outstanding
consumer installment and noninstallment credit multiplied by applicable
interest rates. (Interest payments on
mobile home and home improvement
loans are excluded because, in the national income and product accounts,
homeownership and its related income
and expenses are treated as part of the
business sector.)
As noted earlier, the estimating procedure for personal interest income is
an indirect one: Although the items
used in estimating personal interest income are not parts of it, taken-together
they measure it. Even though the items

are not part of personal interest income,
their magnitudes are worth noting because they shed light on the relative importance of interest flows in the
economy. Net interest paid by business
has increased almost 50 percent since
1979. Monetary interest increased much
more rapidly than imputed interest,
reflecting the fact that net monetary
interest is more sensitive to interest
rate changes than is imputed interest.
Net interest paid by the rest of the
world has more than doubled, reflecting
a faster increase in U.S. investment
abroad than in foreign investment in
the United States, as well as increasing
interest rates. Net interest paid by
government has increased more than 80
percent. The Federal Government more
than accounted for the increase, which
was traceable largely to increasing
interest rates. Interest paid by consumers to business has shown only a
small increase over the period. The increase was interrupted in mid-1980 by
the limited extension of credit related
to the Federal Eeserve's credit control
program and the weakness in sales,
especially of autos.

starts—suggests continued weakness in
residential construction in the near
future.
Continued unfavorable financial conditions were a major factor in the decline in residential investment in the
third quarter. Deposits (exclusive of interest credited) at mutual savings
banks and insured savings and loan associations fell $14.6 billion in JuneJuly, bringing the net deposit loss for
the first 7 months of the year to $24.8
billion. Balances in 6-month MMC accounts—money market certificates—increased during January-July, but the
average monthly increase was only $4.1
billion, compared with $6 billion in
1980. (Maturing MMC's were rolled
over at interest rates averaging about
2 percentage points higher than the
rates at which they had been issued.)
To offset this poor deposit experience,
thrifts resorted to heavy and costly borrowing during January-July.

Eeflecting these developments, as well
as the general upward movement in
long-term rates, the commitment interest rate on 25-year mortgages with a
loan-to-price ratio of 75 percent drifted
up until early April and then rose
sharply to 16.79 percent in August
(chart 3). The 1.69-percentage-point increase over the 4 months, would translate into a 10-percent increase in monthly payments on new mortgages. Moreover, the prime rate—to which interest
rates on construction loans are tied—
was high throughout the period and
hovered around 20-20^ percent from
late May to mid-September.
Nonresidential fixed investment was
again flat. In producers' durable equipment, motor vehicles partly recovered
from their second-quarter decline, but
other producers' durable equipment
slipped further. Structures registered
another small increase. This lackluster
performance of nonresideritial fixed

investment is in line with plans for 1981
reported in the BE A plant and equipment survey, which is discussed later
in this issue. The latest survey was
taken at about the same time as the passage and signing of the Economic Becovery Tax Act of 1981, but because
Changes in investment plans in response
to Government actions require several
months, the results of the survey probably were not appreciably affected by
the act.
On the basis of very limited information, net exports declined further. The
decline (was again concentrated in
goods. Both agricultural and nonagricultural exports are being held down
by the appreciation of the dollar. Imports may have declined after several
quarters of increase.
In government, defense purchases
picked up in the third quarter—perhaps the beginning of the expected upturn. With the exception of purchases

associated with the agricultural price
support operations of the Commodity
Credit Corporation, nondefense Federal purchases continued to slip. Purchases by State and local government
were down again. A major factor in
both the second and third quarters was
tihe lowered level of Federal support.
Employee compensation reflected the
phasing out of employees hired previously under the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, and structures reflected the limitation of growth
in grants-in-aid supporting specific
types of construction and the elimination of the State portion of general
revenue sharing. In addition, construction (may have been held down by the
persistence of high interest rates.
Summing up
This review indicates the likelihood
of a third-quarter decline in real final
sales other than of motor vehicles: Declines in fixed investment, net exports,
and government purchases more than
offset a small increase in PCE. However, if the recovery of motor vehicle
sales is added in, total final sales may
have registered a small increase. In inventories, there was a substantial runoff
of motor vehicle inventories following




a second-quarter buildup; the resulting
swing amounted to about $8% billion.
Little is known about other inventories,
but it seems likely that the weakness in
final sales led to a step-up in the rate of
accumulation. If it is assumed that this
step-up partly offset the swing in motor
vehicle inventories, the third-quarter
change in real GNP would be near zero.

September 1981

Second-quarter profits
Corporate profits from current production—profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustmentsr—decreased $12i/£ billion, to
$1901^ billion, in the second quarter of
1981. (This estimate is $3% billion
higher than the estimate published a
month ago.) The decrease, which was
widely spread across industries, was
partly due to the weakened economic
situation. In addition, profits of financial institutions were directly affected
by higher interest rates.
Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations decreased $5*^ billion to
SMG1/^ billion, after increasing $24 billion in the first quarter. Detail by industry is available for profits with inventory valuation adjustment but without capital consumption adjustment.
The second-quarter decrease in profits
of manufacturing corporations accounted for the overall decrease (table
3). Within manufacturing, all industries other than motor vehicle and fabricated metal products manufacturing
registered decreases. A large decrease
in petroleum manufacturers' profits reflected declining demand for their products. Declining demand made it more
difficult to pass on to product prices

nage. The increase in airlines' losses
occurred despite a continuing rapid increase in fares and a moderate increase
in revenue-passenger miles. Profits of
other nonfinancial nonmanufacturing
corporations increased.
Domestic profits of financial corporations decreased $4% billion to $21 billion, after decreasing $2 billion in the
first quarter. Most of the second-quarter
decrease was due to lower profits of
commercial banks and increased losses
of mutual savings banks and of savings
and loan associations. The increased
losses reflected both net withdrawals of
deposits and higher interest rates paid.
In contrast, higher interest rates
boosted earnings of Federal Reserve
banks, which are treated as part of
corporate business in the national income and product accounts (NIPA'k).
Much of the increase registered by these
banks was due to higher average interest
rates on Federal Reserve holdings of
U.S. Government debt; a smaller portion was due to larger holdings.
Profits from the r6st of the world—
measured as the net inflow of dividends
and reinvested earnings of incorporated
foreign affiliates, and of earnings of unincorporated foreign affiliates—decreased $2% billion to $23 billion, after

Table 5.8-5.9:
1. The IVA shown in this table differs from that which adjusts business income. The IVA
in this table reflects the mix of methods (first-in-first-out, last-in-first-out, etc.) underlying
book value inventories derived primarily from Census Bureau Statistics. The mix differs
from that underlying business income derived primarily from Internal Revenue Service
statistics.
Table 5.10-5.11:
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 GNP. The former is the difference between two
inventory stocks, each valued at their respective end-of-quarter prices. The latter is the change
in the physical volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. In addition,
changes calculated from this table are at quarter rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates.
Quarter-to-quarter changes calculated from the constant-dollar inventories shown in this
table are at quarterly rates, whereas the constant-dollar change in business inventories component of GNP is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Business final sales equals final sales less gross product of households and institutions, government, and rest-of-the world and includes a small
amount of final sales by farms.

. NOTE. — The implicit price deflator for GNP is a weighted average of the detailed price
indexes used in the deflation of GNP. In each period, the weights are based on the composition
of constant-dollar output in that period. In other words, the price index for each item (1972=
1°°) if. weighted by the ratio of the quantity of the item valued in 1 972 prices to the total output
in 1972 prices. Changes in the implicit price deflator reflect both changes in prices and changes

in the composition of output. The chain price index uses as weights the composition of output
in the prior period, and therefore reflects only the change in prices between the two periods,
However, comparisons of percent changes in the chain index also reflect changes in the composition of output. The fixed- weighted price index uses as weights the composition of output
in 1972. Accordingly, comparisons over any time span reflect only changes in prices.

nonfarm business plans to
spend $321.5 billion for new plant and
equipment in 1981, 8.8 percent more
than in 1980, according to the BE A survey conducted in late July and August
(table 1 and chart 4).1 An 8.4-percent
increase was reported in the April-May
survey and a 10.2-percent increase was
reported in the January-February survey. Spending in 1980 was $295.6 billion, 9.3 percent more than in 1979.
Eespondents to the quarterly survey
are not asked to report information on
price changes reflected in actual or
planned spending. Estimates of actual
real (constant-dollar) spending have
been constructed as companions to the
current-dollar estimates (see tables A
and B). These estimates indicate that
real spending increased 0.8 percent in
1980. The implicit price deflator for
total plant and equipment expenditures derived from them indicates that
capital goods prices rose 9 percent from
the second quarter of 1980 to the second
quarter of 1981. If business expects
similar increases in capital goods prices
for the remainder of this year, the survey results imply a slight decrease in
real spending—about 0.3 percent—
from 1980 to 1981. Real spending increased 2.8 percent in the first quarter
and declined 1.7 percent in the second.
Current-dollar spending in the second
quarter increased 1.4 percent, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $316.7
1. Plans have been adjusted for biases (table
6, footnote 1). The adjustments were made for
each industry. Before adjustment, plans for 1981
were $130.14 billion for manufacturing and
$191.65 billion for nonmanufacturing. The net effect of the adjustments was to lower manufacturing $3.35 billion and to raise nonmanufacturing
$3.07 billion.

billion, following a 4.2-percent increase
in the first quarter. Plans reported 3
months earlier were for a slight decline
in second-quarter spending; actual
spending was higher than planned in
both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. In manufacturing,
the upward revisions were largest in
machinery, transportation equipment,
food-beverage, textiles, and petroleum.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

22
In nonmanufacturing, public utilities
and trade and services accounted for the
higher spending levels.
Plans indicate that spending will increase 2 percent in the third quarter and
3 percent in the fourth. The levels of
planned spending in these quarters are
little changed from those reported in

the April-May survey; downward revisions in manufacturing were offset by
upward revisions in nonmanufacturing.
Spending for new plant increased 2
percent in the second quarter, to an annual rate of $131.0 billion; spending for
new equipment increased 1 percent, to
$185.7 billion (table 2). Spending for
new plant was 41.4 percent of total capital spending and spending for new
equipment was 58.6 percent.
The Economic Recovery Tax Act of
1981, embodying the President's economic program of tax changes and
other measures designed to stimulate
investment, was signed in mid-August
while the latest survey was being conducted. (For a description of the major
features of the Act, see pp. 5-6 of the
August SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.)
Because of the uncertainties as to the
specific provisions to be contained in
the Act prior to its passage by Congress
and because experience indicates that
changes in investment plans by business in response to changing economic
conditions and Government actions
usually require several months, it is
unlikely that the impact of the new
measure would have been reflected appreciably in the survey results. Continued higth interest rates and depressed
cash flows could further delay or dampen the response by business to the new
investment incentives.

Manufacturing Programs
For the year 1981, manufacturers
plan a 9%-percent spending increase—
12 percent in nondurables and 7 percent
in durables; last year, manufacturers
increased their spending 17y2 percent.
In nondurables, the largest planned increase for 1981 is in the petroleum
industry, 27 percent. Food-beverage
plans a 13-percent increase, and "other
nondurables," 9% percent. Small declines are planned by textiles and paper.
In durables, the largest planned increase is in "other durables," 16% percent, and reflects strong increases by
producers of instruments and miscellaneous manufactured products. Nonelectrical machinery plans a 15-percent
increase. Other sizable increases—13^11 percent—are planned by motor

a 15-percent decline; smaller declines
are planned by aircraft, fabricated

Spending by manufacturers increased
1 percent in the second quarter, to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of
$125.5 billion, after a 5-percent increase
in the first quarter. A 2^-percent increase is planned for the third quarter;
the increase is in nondurable goods
industries. In the fourth quarter, a onehalf of 1 percent decline is planned;
nondurable industries account for it.
Manufacturing projects started in
the second quarter totaled $32.9 billion,
7 percent less than in the first quarter
(table 3 and chart 5); the decline was
in nondurable goods, where it was concentrated in the petroleum and chemical industries. Paper reported a small
decline. Durable goods industries reported a sizable increase; primary

1. Estimates are based on planned capital expenditures reported by business in late July
and August 1981. The planned expenditures for 1981 have been corrected for biases. The adjustment procedures are described in the October 1980 SURVEY. Before adjustment, plans for
1981 were $321.79 billion for total business, $130.14 billion for manufacturing, and $191.65 billion
for nonmanufacturing.

metals, nonelectrical machinery, and
transportation equipment reported the
largest increases.
The value of new projects started by
manufacturers in the second quarter exceeded their capital expenditures, resulting in an increase in carryover. At
the end of June., carryover totaled $91
billion, $1.5 billion higher than at the
end of March.
Capacity utilization
The utilization of manufacturing
capacity was 78 percent in June, unchanged from March and December
(table 4); this rate is 2 points above
the recession trough in June and September last year and 6 points below the
prerecession peak of 84 percent in
March 1979.

2. Includes industries not shown separately.
3. Consists of lumber, furniture, instruments, and miscellaneous.
4. Consists of apparel, tobacco, leather, and printing-publishing.
5. Consists of construction; social services and membership organizations; and forestry,
fisheries, and agricultural services.

Utilization rates for most industry
groups showed only small changes from
March to June. The largest change was
in motor vehicles, up 4 points, to 73 percent ; nonelectrical machinery increased

to derive the estimates.

Constant-Dollar Estimates of
P&E Expenditures
Annual and quarterly constantdollar (real) estimates of P&E expenditures are shown in table 8. Constantdollar estimates for equipment and for
plant are shown in tables 9 and 10,
respectively. The annual estimates are
for 1947-80; the quarterly estimates for
total P&E expenditures are for 194780, and those for equipment and for
plant are for 1972-80.
Total P&E expenditures
Chart 6 shows the current- and
constant-dollar estimates of total nonfarm business P&E expenditures.2
From 1947 to 1980, real expenditures
grew at an average annual rate of 3.8
percent, compared with 8.2 percent for
current-dollar expenditures. The rate
of increase in real terms was 2.5 percent
in 1947-59, 5.3 percent in 1959-72, and
3.6 percent in 1972-80, compared with
6.2 percent, 7.9 percent, and 11.9 percent, respectively, for current-dollar
expenditures.
Table 1 shows the average annual
rates of growth by industry for total
P&E expenditures for 1947-80,1947-72,
and 1972-80. There were significant differences in the rates of increase among
industries. From 1947 to 1980, spending
grew faster in nonmanufacturing (4.1
percent) than in manufacturing (3.5
percent). In 1947-72, nonmanufactur2. Unless otherwise noted, all references to P&E
expenditure estimates in this article are to estimates in constant (1972) dollars, all quarterly

The percentage changes for five major
industry groups in each of the seven
cycles that occurred during this period
are shown in table 3 for contractions
and for expansions.5
There were three large contractions
in spending for total nonfarm business:
from 1957:2-1958:4, spending fell 16i/2
percent; from 1948:1-1949:4, it fell 16
percent; aad from 1974:2-1975:4, it fell
15 percent. The other four contractions
were relatively mild, averaging 4
percent.
The expansion with the largest
growth in total nonfarm business
spending was 1961:2-1966:4 (the longest of the expansions), when spending
increased 67 percent. Other expansions
with large growth were 1975:4-1980:1,
39 percent; 1949:4-1953:2, 31 percent;
and 1954:4-1957:2, 32 percent.
P&E spending in manufacturing
generally registered much larger spending declines in contractions and substantially larger increases in expansions
than did nonmanufacturing spending.
In contractions, the average decrease
for manufacturing was almost five
times as large as that for nonmanufacturing; in expansions, the average
increase for manufacturing was almost
twice that for nonmanufacturing.
Within manufacturing, durable goods

Table 3 also shows that equipment
spending was more cyclically sensitive
than plant spending. In fact, plant expenditures increased in the contractions
of 1948:1-1949:4, 1953:2-1954:4, and
1960:2-1961:2.
The timing of troughs for manufacturing and nonmanuf acturing spending
was slightly different. The troughs in
manufacturing usually lagged those for
total nonf arm business by one to two
quarters, and nonmanuf acturing spending turned up one or two quarters before the troughs for total nonf arm business. The peak quarters of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing were more
coincident.
Comparison with the FRB series
The constant-dollar estimates of
equipment expenditures can be com-




pared with the business equipment component of the Index of Industrial Production, prepared by the Federal
Eeserve Board (FEE). The FEE series
differs in several ways from the BE A
series; data are not available to make
satisfactory adjustments for these
differences.6
Chart 8 shows the two series indexed
to 1967. The two series moved together
for most of the 1947-80 period—the correlation coefficient of the quarterly
levels of the index numbers is 0.995, and
the correlation of the percent changes is
0.668. The FEB series grew at a somewhat faster rate over 1947-80—4.7 percent, compared to 4.2 percent for the
BEA series.
In the last five expansions the FEB
series was consistently above the BEA
6. The major differences between the FRB series
and the BEA series are: (1) The FRB series is
based mainly on production data; the BEA series
measures expenditures. (2) The FRB series includes government, exports, and agriculture; the
BEA series excludes these items (although it includes imports). (3) The. FRB series is compiled
from establishment data; the BEA series is compiled from company data.

series. In part, this reflected the fact
that the troughs in the FEB series generally preceded the troughs in the BEA
series by one or two quarters. (The timing differences at peaks were less uniform.) The FEE series is based mainly
on production measures, rather than on
expenditures. Because production normally precedes expenditures, this difference may have accounted for the fact
that the troughs in the FEB series generally preceded those in the BEA series.
The BEA series showed a much steeper decline in the 1974-75 contraction
and faster growth in the recent expansion than did the FEB series. The FEB
series peaked in the first quarter of 1980
and fell rapidly in the next two quarters
before turning up in the fourth quarter
of 1980. The BEA series peaked in the
fourth quarter of 1979, and then fell
more gently than did the FEB series.
Industry Price Measures
This section is divided into five parts.
The first part summarizes the method-

ology used to derive the specially constructed implicit price deflators and the
constant-dollar estimates presented
above. The second and third parts present the implicit price deflators for expenditures by establishment-based industry, and for P&E expenditures by
company-based industry. The fourth
and fifth parts compare the implicit
price deflators with fixed-weighted
price indexes and with annual price data
collected from respondents to the P&E
survey.

lishments. Company-based industry deflators are formed by dividing currentdollar capital expenditures by constantdollar capital expenditures for each
industry. The derived company-based
industry deflators allow for the different compositions of capital goods expenditures among industries.

In step three, the company-based industry deflators for plant and for
equipment are subjected to a constraint
and then applied to the current-dollar
expenditures from the P&E survey to
form the final constant-dollar estimates.
The constraint insures that the weighted sum of deflators for the P&E survey

Summary of methodology
The procedure used to prepare quarterly implicit price deflators and the
constant-dollar estimates is carried out
separately for plant expenditures and
for equipment expenditures. The basic
inputs are national income and product
account (NIPA) estimates for purchases of structures and producers' durable equipment by type in current and
constant dollars (published as NIPA
tables 5.4-5.7) adjusted, where possible,
to conform to P&E survey definitions.7
In the first of three steps, specially
prepared capital flow matrixes are used
to transform the NIPA estimates into
current- and constant-dollar expenditures by establishment-based industry.
These capital flow matrixes show the
amounts and types of capital goods
used for each of 76 establishment-based
industries. The step-one calculations
yield implicit price deflators for
establishment-based industries that are
formed by dividing current-dollar
capital expenditures by constant-dollar
capital expenditures for each establishment industry.
The second step uses a capital expenditures matrix to transform the capital
expenditures by festablishment-based
industry into capital expenditures by
company-based industry. The capital
expenditures matrix shows the amount
of capital expenditures in each
company-based industry distributed by
the industry classification of its estab7. For a summary of the differences in definitions between P&E survey expenditure estimates
and the NIPA estimates for purchases of structures and producers' durable equipment, see G. R.
Green and M. P. Hertzberg, "Revised Estimates
of New Plant and Equipment Expenditures in the
United States, 1947-77," SURVEY OF CURRENT

industries is equal to the deflator for
total purchases of equipment and
structures obtained from the sums of
the adjusted NIPA estimates.
Implicit price deflators for establish'
ment'based industries
Table 4 shows the average annual
rates of increase of implicit price deflators for capital expenditures by establishment-based industry. An establishment-based industry that purchases
mainly capital goods that show relatively fast price increases over time will,
in all likelihood, also show relatively
fast increases in its deflators. For example, the establishment-based industry
that had the fastest increase in the deflator in 1947-80 was crude petroleum
and natural gas. The rate of the deflator's increase reflected that industry's
purchase of about 34 percent of mining
and oilfield machinery in 1972 and of
all petroleum and natural gas structures, which both showed relatively fast
price increases.
Four of the six industries with the
fastest increases in 1947-80 were mining
industries. Broad and narrow fabrics,
yarn, and thread mills and miscellaneous textile goods had the fastest increase
for nonmining industries, followed by
the rubber and miscellaneous plastic
products and the lumber and wood
products including wooden containers
industries. The fast increase in the deflator for the broad and narrow fabrics,
etc. industry was due to the industry's
heavy purchases of special industry machinery, which increased rapidly in
price over the 1947-80 period. Large
purchases of special industry machinery
were a factor for the other two industries also. The rubber and miscellaneous
plastic products industry purchased, in
addition, a large amount of metal working machinery, which increased rapidly
in price, and the lumber and wood products industry purchased, in addition, a
large amount of trucks, which increased
rapidly in price.
Similarly, industries that purchased
large amounts of office, computing, and
accounting machinery, the equipment
category with the slowest increase in the
deflator over 1947-80, showed relatively




SUEVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS
slow increases in their deflators. The
two major purchasers of this equipment
category were the finance-insurancereal estate, and rental industry and the
services industry.
Implicit price deflators for companybased industries
The implicit price deflator for P&E
expenditures by a company-based industry is in effect a weighted average of
the deflators for the establishments
owned by the companies in that industry. For example, 70 percent of P&E
spending in 1972 by food and beverage
companies was by their establishments
classified in the food and kindred products industry. Food and beverage companies also owned establishments classified in metal containers and other
fabricated metal products. Because the
deflators for these establishment-based
industries increased more than the average for all industries combined, the de-

September 1981

flators for food and beverage companies
also showed an above-average increase.
Table 5 shows average annual rates
of increase of implicit price deflators
for total P&E expenditures by company-based industry for 1947-80,194772, and 1972-80. The implicit price
deflator for total nonfarm business
P&E expenditures increased at a 4.2percent rate in 1947-80. Eeflecting the
generally higher inflation of the seventies, the deflators for total nonfarm
business and for every industry increased much faster in 1972-80 than in
1947-72; the rate of increase in the deflator for total nonfarm business in
1972-80 wTas 8.1 percent, compared with
3.0 percent in 1947-72. The deflator for
manufacturing increased somewhat
faster than that for nonmanufacturing
in both periods.
Within manufacturing, the deflator
for nondurable goods increased faster
than that for durable goods, especially
in 1972-80, reflecting mainly a fast in-

industry, 68 percent were accounted for

this establishment-based industry increased relatively slowly in 1947-80.
(The deflator for aircraft and parts
establishments increased slowly because
a large portion of this industry's capital
expenditures is office, computing, and
accounting machinery.) The deflator
for electrical machinery companies increased relatively slowly because they
own many establishments in four establishment-based industries for which the
deflators increased relatively slowly—
communications; radio, television, and
communication equipment; electronic
components and accessories; and electrical industrial equipment and apparatus and miscellaneous electrical
equipment.
For nonmanufacturing, the mining
industry deflator showed the fastest increase for all periods shown in table 5.
The increase in that company-based industry's deflator reflected the relatively
fast increase in the deflators for miningrelated establishment-based industries,8
The deflator for transportation companies increased rapidly in 1947-80 re8. These industries are iron and ferroalloy ores
mining and nonferrous metal ores mining; coal
mining; crude petroleum and natural gas; and
stone, clay mining, quarry mining, and chemicals
and fertilizer mineral mining.

fleeting the rapid increase, especially in
1972-80, in the deflator for transportation establishments. This increase in
turn reflected increases in prices for
railroad equipment and railroad structures and for aircraft. The deflator for
public utilities increased rapidly, reflecting the fast increase in the deflator
for electric, gas, water, and sanitary
services. The deflator for other nonmanufacturing also increased rapidly,
mainly due to the increase in the deflator for the construction industry
component.
Rates of increase of deflators for
plant expenditures and for equipment
expenditures for major industry groups
are shown in table 6. The deflators for
plant expenditures increased faster than
for equipment expenditures, especially
for 1972-80. Mining and nondurable
goods manufacturing showed the largest
differences between the rates of increase
in the deflator for plant and that for
equipment. The large differences in
mining reflected mainly a fast increase
in the price of petroleum structures
(mostly oil drilling related).
Fixed-weighted price indexes
The implicit price deflators discussed
above reflect both changes in prices for
capital goods and shifts in the composition of expenditures for these goods.
Fixed-weighted price indexes reflect
changes in prices for a fixed "market
basket" of capital goods. In constructing the fixed-weighted price indexes for
each industry, all factors that could
change the composition of capital goods
are held at their 1972 values. The factors held constant are: the constantdollar amount of each type of capital
good, the two transformation matrixes,

The series presented in tables 8-10 plus historical series for both implicit price deflators and for fixed-weighted price indexes for establishment-based industries and for
company-based industries (broken down into total, equipment, and plant) are available
from BEiA in computer printout form. The estimates for total P&E expenditures are
available quarterly and annually from 1947; the estimates for equipment and plant
expenditures separately are available annually from 1947 on, and quarterly from 1972
on. The cost of the printout is $20. For further information, write to P&E Survey

the industry ratios of equipment to
structures, and the industry weights for
various industry groupings (e.g., durable goods manufacturing).
In 1972-80, the implicit price deflators increased at slower rates than the
corresponding fixed-weighted price in-

dexes for most establishment-based industries (table 4). This difference
reflected a shift in mix away from capital goods that were relatively more expensive to those that were relatively less
expensive. The notable exception to this
pattern was for the industry with the

September 1981

fastest implicit price deflator increase—
crude petroleum and natural gas. This
industry's expenditures were dominated
by the relatively more expensive petroleum structures and the increasing proportion of investment accounted for by
plant in this industry.

exception of 1975, the two series on
price changes for each industry moved
together. In 1975, most industries reported a decline in the rate of increase
of capital goods prices, but the deflator
shows an increase. For all years except
1975, for total nonfarm business the
price increase for capital goods reported by survey respondents was
higher than the increase in the implicit
price deflators presented in this article.

establishment-based industry constant-dollar

one, the establishment-based industry deflators are found by,

Technical Note
Derivation of Industry Implicit Price Deflators and Constant-Dollar Estimates
The procedure used to derive the implicit
price deflators and the constant-dollar estimates has three steps. It may be shown compactly in matrix notation. Let Ztc be a nxl
vector of purchases of equipment (or structures) by type in current dollars for time t,
Ztk be a nxl vector of purchases of equipment
(or structures) by type in constant dollars
for time t, Wt be a 56xn matrix of weighting

of establishment-based industry deflators.
Similarly, in step two, company-based industry deflators are found by,
(2) DIt=XtYt7XtYtk, t=1947:l, 1980:4
where DIt is a 38x1 vector of company-based
industry deflators for time t and Xt is a
38X56 matrix of weighting factors for time t.
The company-based industry deflators may be
found directly, without calculating the estab-

lishment-based industry deflators, from the

1980 :4
which follows from substituting (1) into (2).
In step 3, constant-dollar estimates of P&E
expenditures are found by applying these deflators to the current-dollar P&E survey
expenditures.
Step 1. Establishment-based industry implicit
price deflators
The weights (the W t matrix in (1)) used
in the first step are derived from the capital
flow tables produced by BEA.10 These tables
disaggregate gross private fixed investment
in the BEA input-output tables to show the
amounts and types of capital goods, classified
at the 4-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) level, used by each of 76 establishment-based industries. (Nine of the 85
establishment-based industries in the inputoutput table do not use capital goods.) The
dollar values in the tables reflect purchasers'
prices in current dollars.
Capital flow tables are available for three
years : 1963, 1967, and 1972. For each of these
years, two capital flow matrixes are constructed—an equipment matrix and a structures matrix. The structures matrix is a disaggregation of the new construction 1-0 commodity group in the capital flow table. The
capital goods categories for both the equipment and structures capital flow matrixes
match the level of detail for types of fixed
nonresidential investment published in NIPA
tables 5.4-5.7. The 76 establishment-based using industry categories are combined to form
the 56 establishment-based industry categories
used in the second step. The columns of these
aggregated capital flow matrixes show the distribution of types of capital goods ; the rows
show the composition of investment goods
used by various industries. The matrixes for
1963 and 1967 are adjusted to 1972 SIC
definitions.
The six matrixes (3 years, equipment and
structures for each) are normalized by columns, i.e. each element in a column is divided
by the sum for that column. The six normalized matrixes show the percentage distribution of capital goods by establishment-based
using industry.
The percentage distribution of each type of
capital good by using industry changes over
time. To make estimates of the distribution
for each quarter between 1963 and 1967, and
between 1967 and 1972, linear interpolation
is used. To interpolate between 1963 and 1967,
the normalized matrix for 1963 is subtracted
from the normalized matrix for 1967. and the
resulting "difference matrix'* is divided by 13
(the number of quarters between the fourth
10. The table for 1972 is described in the July
1980 SURVEY.




quarter of 1963 and the first quarter of 1967).
This "increment matrix'' is added to the
normalized matrix for 1963 to derive the
normalized matrix for 1964:1, the increment
matrix is added to the normalized matrix for
1964:1 to derive the normalized matrix for
1964:2, etc. The procedure for interpolating
between 1967 and 1972 is similar. The normalized matrix for 1963 is used for all quarters
before and including 1963:4, and the normalized matrix for 1972 is used for all quarters
from 1972:1 forward.
A capital flow matrix for each quarter is
derived by multiplying the quarterly adjusted
NIPA estimates for individual types of producers' durable equipment (or structures),
first in current dollars and then in constant
dollars, down the appropriate columns in the
appropriate normalized matrix.11 The rows of
each matrix are summed; these sums are the
current- and constant-dollar estimates of
establishment-based industry purchases of
equipment or structures (the Y # c and Y^ vectors in (1) above).
Implicit price deflators for the 56 establishment-based industries are derived by dividing the current-dollar expenditures by the
constant-dollar expenditures for each quarter
(separately for structures and for equipment). Deflators for total industry investment (equipment plus structures) on an
establishment basis are also derived.
Step 2. Company-based
price deflators

industry implicit

Step two converts the establishment-based
industry expenditures derived in step one to
company-based industry expenditures. The
basic methodology is the same as for step one,
although the construction of the appropriate
weighting matrixes is considerably more
complex.
The basic data for constructing the capital
expenditures matrix (X t in ( 2 ) ) are compiled
from data on expenditures cross-classified by
establishments and by companies. These data,
prepared by the Bureau of the Census, are
available only for 1963, 1967, and 1972.
For 1972, the Census Bureau provided a
special capital expenditures tabulation that
shows purchases of equipment and of structures for company-based industries crossclassified by the establishments that are
owned by companies within each companybased category. For 1963 and 1967, however,
similar matrixes are not directly available.
Instead, capital expenditures matrixes are derived from the employment matrixes published by the Bureau of the Census in its
11. Estimates of purchases of structures by
type are available annually from 1946 forward
but quarterly only from 1958:1. Quarterly estimates for the earlier period were derived by interpolation. Annual estimates were used as control totals, and the quarterly pattern of total purchases of structures (which is available back to
1946) was used to derive estimates of quarterly
purchases of structures.

September 1981
Enterprise Statistics for 1963 and 1967 (Table
6 in Enterprise Statistics, Vol. 2, for 1963 and
Table 2-2 in Enterprise Statistics for 1967).
Each employment matrix shows the number
of employees for company-based industries
cross-classified by establishment-based industry.
Both employment matrixes and also the
1972 capital expenditures matrix are complete
for manufacturing. However, all three are incomplete for nonmanufacturing, because the
Census Bureau data are incomplete for transportation, communications, agriculture, finance-insurance-real
estate, and public
utilities.13
A major problem with the two employment
matrixes is that many of the published cells
contain letters, reflecting ranges of values,
rather than actual numbers. This procedure
is followed by the Census Bureau 'to prevent
disclosure of confidential information. To
deal with this problem, a numeric value for
each cell of the matrix that contained a letter
is estimated. Each estimate is constrained to
be within (or on) the boundary of the range
of values associated with each letter, and the
matrix is forced to balance, i.e., the row and
column totals equal those in the original published employment matrix.
To convert each employment matrix to a
capital expenditures matrix, each column (an
establishment-based industry) of the employment matrix is multiplied by an appropriate
capital expenditures per employee ratio, also
published in Enterprise Statistics.™
The capital expenditures matrixes for each
of the three years (1963, 1967, 1972) are aggregated to 38 company-based industries (to
match the categories in the P&E survey) and
56 establishment-based industries (to match
the 56 establishment-based industry categories
in step one). Equipment matrixes and structures matrixes are then derived for 1963 and
for 1967 by applying to each column of the
appropriate capital expenditures matrix the
appropriate ratio of either equipment or
structures capital expenditures to total
capital expenditures for each establishmentbased industry.14 Matrixes for 1963 and 1967
are adjusted to 1972 SIC definitions.
12. Estimates for these industries were made
based on the investment data from the capital
flow tables (for 1972) and data on the number of
full- and part-time employees from the NIPA's.
13. The Census Bureau establishment-based
data used to construct the capital expenditures
per employee ratio differentiates between establishments classified in the same company-based
category and all other establishments. Therefore,
each column is actually multiplied by two ratios:
the "diagonal" cell is multiplied by the capital
expenditures per employee of establishments
classified in the same company-based category, and
the rest of the cells in the column are multiplied
by the ratio for "all other establishments." This
assumes that the capital expenditures per employee are equal for establishments owned by
companies in different industries except those
companies whose industry category is the same as
that for the establishment.
14. These capital expenditures data are also
published in Enterprise Statistics.

September 1981
The equipment and structures matrixes are
normalized by establishment-based industry.
The normalized matrixes for 1963, 1967, and
1972 are linearly interpolated using the same
procedure as in step one. The normalized
matrix for 1963 is used tor all quarters prior
to 1964, and the normalized matrix for 1972
is used for all quarters in 1972 and later
years.
The columns of the normalized equipment
and structures matrixes are multiplied by the
current- and constant-dollar establishmentbased industry expenditures derived in step
one above, and the rows summed to yield
current- and constant-dollar capital expenditures for each company-based industry. Current-dollar company-based capital expenditures are then divided by constant-dollar

Breakdowns of total expenditures into those
for plant and for equipment have been collected in the P&E survey on an annual basis
since 1947 and on a quarterly basis since 1972.
Separate quarterly expenditure series for
equipment and for plant are calculated for all
quarters prior to 1972 by interpolation. Annual estimates for equipment and for plant
reported in the P&E survey are used as control totals for each industry; company-based
industry expenditures derived in step two are

used as interpolators. The company-based industry deflators from step 2 are constrained
to insure that the weighted sum of the deflators for the P&E survey industries is equal
to the deflator for total purchases of equipment and structures obtained from the sum
of the adjusted NIPA estimates. Constantdollar expenditures for 38 P&E survey industries are then calculated by dividing the
current-dollar P&E survey expenditure estimates (for equipment and for plant separately) by the implicit price deflators for
company-based industries. Constant-dollar industry estimates of total P&E expenditures
are calculated by adding the separate estimates for constant-dollar equipment and plant
expenditures.

Spending in nonmanufacturing industries increased 2 percent in the second quarter, to a seasonally adjusted
annual rate of $191.2 billion, following
a Sy2-percent increase in the first quarter. Large increases in the second quarter in "other transportation," electric
utilities, trade, and finance were partly
offset by sizable declines in air transportation and real estate. A li/^-percent
increase is planned in the third quarter;
increases in the finance-insurance-real
estate group and "communications and

other" are largely offset by declines in
gas utilities and transportation industries. A 51/£-per cent increase is planned
in the fourth quarter; the largest increases are in transportation and gas
utilities.
Electric and gas utilities started new
investment projects totaling $13.8 billion in the second quarter, compared
with $10.1 billion in the first quarter.
Carryover of utility projects was $135.6
billion at the end of June, up $4.3 billion from the end of March.

wide demand for U.S. bank credit, partly related to commercial needs associated with the dollar's recent appreciation, contributed to the large increase in
U.S. bank claims and to borrowing by
U.S. banks from their offices in the
Caribbean. Simultaneously, high and
rising interest rates in the United
States, and an appreciating dollar, attracted foreign funds to U.S. bank
deposits and other financial instruments.
Reflecting the first full quarter of
U.S. policy of refraining from exchange
market intervention, there was a much
smaller increase in U.S. official reserve
assets than in the first quarter. However, there were large reductions of foreign official assets in the United States
by industrial countries, as they intervened to limit the decline of their currencies against the dollar.
The statistical discrepancy (errors
and omissions) was an inflow of $7.6
billion.
U.S. dollar in exchange markets
The U.S. dollar appreciated strongly
against all major currencies except the
Canadian dollar, rising 11 percent and
9 percent on a trade-weighted basis
against the currencies of 10 industrial
and 22 OECD countries, respectively
(table C, chart 10). The dollar reached
a record level against the French franc;
it also rose sharply against other currencies in the European Monetary System (EMS), and against the British
pound and Japanese yen.
High U.S. interest rates and a restrictive monetary policy were primarily responsible for the third consecutive
quarter of substantial dollar appreciation. U.S. interest rates rose in April
and May when domestic credit demand
increased, bank reserve growth was lim-

ited, and the discount rate and penalty
rate charged to large, frequent users of
the discount window were increased.
Interest rates in the United Kingdom,
Western Europe, and Japan were lower
than U.S. rates and changed little over
the quarter. However, rates in Switzerland increased sharply from low levels,
and rates in Canada remained above
U.S. rates.
Other factors that contributed to the
dollar's strength were a relatively favorable current-account position, some
slowing of U.S. inflation, and record
foreign demand for U.S. equities and
other financial assets. Prospects for immediate economic recovery in other industrial countries deteriorated over the
quarter, and although there was some
reduction in inflation abroad, further
progress was expected to be delayed by
the unfavorable effects of dollar appreciation on import prices. Political and
military unrest in Eastern Europe and
the Middle East, together with the election of a Socialist government in
France, favored inflows into dollardenominated assets.
From the end of March to the end of
June, the dollar appreciated 16 percent
against the British pound; 15 percent
against the French franc; 14 percent
each against the German mark, Dutch
guilder, and Italian lira; 7 percent
against the Japanese yen; 6 percent
against the Swiss franc; and 1 percent
against the Canadian dollar. The dollar
appreciated 3 percent against the Mexican peso, which is being devalued by
Mexican authorities at a controlled rate.
Merchandise trade
The merchandise trade deficit increased to $6.9 billion in the second
quarter from $4.7 billion in the first. The
increase was due to a sharp drop in

September 1981

agricultural exports from an exceptionally high first-quarter level and an
increase in nonpetroleum imports.
Exports decreased $0.6 billion, or 1
percent, to $60.5 billion; volume decreased 2 percent. Agricultural exports
decreased $1.7 billion from a record
level to $11.1 billion; volume decreased
12 percent and prices decreased 3 percent. There were declines of $0.5 billion
each in wheat and feed grains, and $0.4
billion in soybeans, mainly to Eastern
Europe. Cotton exports declined $0.3
billion.
Nonagricultural exports increased
$1.0 billion, or 2 percent, to $49.4 billion; volume was unchanged. Capital
goods increased $1.1 billion, led by a
$0.7 billion increase in complete aircraft. Automotive exports increased
$0.6 billion, reflecting parts shipments
to Canada for assembly prior to the introduction of new subcompact models
in the United States. Industrial supplies and materials decreased $1.1 billion. The decrease was concentrated in
fuels, due both to lower shipments of
coal during the strike which lasted from
March 27 to June 3, and to lower petroleum and nuclear fuel exports.
Imports increased $1.6 billion, or 2
percent, to $67.4 billion; volume increased 3 percent. Nonpetroleum imports increased $1.2 billion, or 3 percent,
to $46.2 billion; volume increased 4 percent, and prices declined 2 percent,
partly due to the dollar's appreciation.
Automotive imports increased $0.9 billion, primarily related to the assembly
of components in Canada for new subcompact models scheduled for introduction in the United States. Nonpetroleum industrial supplies and materials
increased $0.6 Billion, due to larger iron
and steel imports. There was a small increase in capital goods. Foods, feeds,
and beverages decreased $0.5 billion,
almost all in coffee and sugar.
Petroleum imports increased $0.4 billion, or 2 percent, to $21.2 billion;
volume declined 1 percent to 6.5 million
barrels per day, and prices increased 3
percent to $35.62 per barrel. The decline
in volume occurred despite an increase
in imports for the Strategic Petroleum
Reserve to 312,000 barrels per day, or
5 percent of total petroleum imports.

Revised.
Preliminary.

Slow domestic economic activity led to
a drop in consumption; stocks were unchanged at high levels. Imports from
Canada, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, and
Indonesia declined; only imports from
the United Kingdom and Mexico increased significantly.
The dollar's appreciation over the
last three quarters has contributed to a
broad slowdown in price increases for
iionpetroleum imports. Unit value indexes for major end-use categories,
except consumer goods, indicate a slowing of price increases in the first quar-

ter, and a decline in the second,
especially in foods, capital goods, and
consumer goods. In contrast, prices of
nonagricultural exports continued to increase at about the same rate as in the
first quarter.
By area, the merchandise trade surplus with industrial countries continued
to decrease for the fourth consecutive
quarter; strong exports to Canada and
to Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa were more than offset by reduced
exports to, and increased imports from,
other industrial countries. The deficit

with OPEC countries decreased slightly
due to lower petroleum imports. Sharp
decreases in agricultural exports to
Eastern Europe and Latin America,
and in total exports to developing countries in Asia and Africa, more than accounted for a large decline in the surplus with non-OPEC developing
countries.
Service transactions
Net service receipts were unchanged
at $9.5 billion. Service exports, at $34.4
billion, and imports, at $24.9 billion,

each rose $1.0 billion. Within net service receipts, lower receipts on U.S. direct investment abroad and higher interest payments on other foreign investment in the United States more than
offset higher receipts on other U.S. investment abroad.
Income on U.S. direct investment
abroad decreased $0.2 billion to $7.9 billion. Soft petroleum markets and a decline in spot prices sharply lowered
earnings of petroleum affiliates. Sluggish economic activity resulted in approximately unchanged incomes of
manufacturing and other affiliates, with
the exception of U.S. affiliates in Canada, whose incomes were boosted by
higher automotive exports to the United
States. Incomes of many foreign affiliates were adversely affected by dollar
appreciation, which raised the cost of
purchases denominated in dollars and
reduced the value of sales denominated
in foreign currencies. Partly offsetting
were exchange rate translation gains,
especially of Western European petroleum affiliates, that occurred as the
values of affiliates' foreign currencydenominated debt declined. Payments
of income on foreign direct investment
in the United States increased $0.2 billion to $2.0 billion, due to an increase in
earnings of manufacturing affiliates.
Other private investment income increased $0.8 billion to $13.5 billion, the
third consecutive record quarter, due to
continued high interest rates and in-




creased U.S. bank lending to foreigners.
High interest rates also pushed private
payments up $0.6 billion to a record $7.4
billion. U.S. Government receipts increased slightly to $0.9 billion, due to
higher interest rates; there was little
change in U.S. official foreign currency
holdings. U.S. Government payments
rose $0.3 billion to $4.2 billion, due to
increases in interest rates and in
liabilities.
Among other service transactions,
travel receipts were up $0.1 billion to
$2.8 billion. Travel receipts from
Mexico and Canada both increased.
Travel payments decreased $0.5 billion
to $2.7 billion. Payments to Mexico fell
by one-quarter as the number of U.S.
visitors declined, possibly due to rapid
inflation there; payments to Canada declined somewhat from an unusually
high first-quarter level, which had been
boosted by purchases of lower priced
Canadian gasoline. Travel payments to
the Caribbean and Central America
were also down somewhat.
Passenger fare receipts increased $0.1
billion to $0.8 billion, due to both increased volume and fares. Payments decreased slightly to $1.1 billion, despite
fare increases; lower payments for
travel to the Caribbean and Central
America accounted for much of the decrease. Other transportation receipts
were unchanged at $3.0 billion. Payments increased $0.3 billion to $3.0 billion due to sharply higher tramp ton-

45
nage, largely because of increased iron
and steel imports, and to higher airline
expenses overseas.
Transfers under U.S. military sales
contracts increased $0.2 billion to $2.3
billion, reflecting increased aircraft deliveries to NATO members and other
countries. Direct defense expenditures
increased $0.2 billion to $2.9 billion
because of a semiannual payment to
NATO.
Unilateral transfers, excluding military grants, were unchanged at $1.5
billion.
U.S. assets abroad
U.S. official reserve assets increased
$0.9 billion in the second quarter, compared with a $4.5 billion increase in the
first. Most of the increase was in the
U.S. reserve position in the International Monetary Fund (IMF), reflecting continued heavy use of the dollar in
IMF lending.
Claims on foreigners reported by
U.S. banks rose strongly for the fifth
consecutive quarter, increasing $14.1
billion, compared with $11.2 billion.
The international demand for dollar
credits was widespread; an exception
was France, on which claims were
sharply reduced due to concern about
possible nationalization of banks following the election of a Socialist government.
There was a large increase in lending
to unaffiliated foreign banks and foreign public borrowers, despite weak
economic activity in many major countries. The increase was attributable
partly to a greater need for dollars in
commercial transactions and a desire to
strengthen foreign bank portfolios,
both due to the dollar's recent appreciation. In contrast to accelerated lending
to unaffiliated foreigners, lending to affiliated foreign banks, including offshdre offices in the Caribbean, slowed by
half. U.S.-owned banks slowed lending
to their foreign offices because of tight
domestic credit conditions, but foreignowned banks in the United States continued to supply funds to their offices
abroad. Bank-reported custody claims
increased less than in the first quarter;

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

11. Conceptually, the sum of lines 79 and 74 is equal to 'net foreign investment" in the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPAs). However, the foreign transactions account in the NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the international transactions accounts for the treatment of gold,
(b) excludes capital gains and losses of foreign affiliates of U.S. parent
companies from the NIPA's measure of income receipts from direct investment abroad, and from the corresponding income payments, and (c) beginning with 1973-IV, excludes shipments and financing of military orders
placed by Israel under Public Law 93-199 and subsequent similar legislation.
Line 77 differs from "net exports of goods and services" in the NIPA^ for
the same reasons with the exception of the military financing, which is excluded, and the additional exclusion of U.S. Government interest payments
to foreigners. The latter payments, for NIPA's purposes, are excluded from
"net exports of goods and services" but included with transfers in "net
foreign investment." A reconciliation table of the international accounts
and the NIPA's foreign transactions account appears in the Business Situation article in this issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS.
12. The maturity breakdown is available only on the limited basis shown in
table 7.
13. The maturity breakdown is available only on the limited basis shown
in table 8.
.
^ A
14. Includes foreign currency denominated notes sold to private residents
abroad. See table 9, line 35, footnote 7.
Table 2:

For footnotes 1-14, see table 1.
Table 3:

1. Exports, Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. U.S. port of
exportation; imports, Census basis, represent transaction values, f.a.s. foreign port of exportation. The unadjusted figures for exports and imports
shown in lines Al, A10, Dl, and D56, are as published by the Census Bureau,
as are the seasonally adjusted figures in lines Al and A10; Census data are
adjusted to include trade between the U.S. Virgin Islands and foreign countries. The seasonally adjusted figures in lines Dl and D56 are prepared by
BEA and represent the summation of seasonally adjusted 4-digit end-use
categories (see Technical Notes in the June 1980 SURVEY) .
2. Beginning in 1970, adjustments in lines A5, A12, B9, B26, and B43
reflect the Census Bureau's reconciliation of discrepancies in the merchandise
trade statistics published by the United States and the counterpart statistics
published in Canada. These adjustments also have been distributed to the
affected end-use categories in section C.
3. Exports of military equipment under U.S. military agency sales contracts
with foreign governments (line A6), and direct imports by the Department
of Defense and the Coast Guard (line A13), to the extent such trade is
identifiable from Customs declarations. These exports are included in tables
1, 2; and 10, line 3 (transfers under U.S. military agency sales contracts) ;
and the imports are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 19 (direct defense
expenditures).
4. Addition of electrical energy; deduction of exposed motion picture film
for rental rather than sale; net change in stock of U.S.-owned grains in
storage in Canada; net timing adjustments for goods recorded in Census
data in one period but found to have been shipped in another; and coverage
adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from
Census data.
5. Correction for discrepancy between sum of four quarters, seasonally
adjusted, and the unadjusted annual totals, plus the difference between
Census published seasonally adjusted totals and the summation of seasonally adjusted 4-digit end-use categories.
6. Addition of electrical energy; deduction of foreign charges for repair of
U.S. vessels abroad, which are included in tables 1, 2, and 10, line 22 (other
transportation); net timing adjustments for goods recorded in Census data
in one period but found to have been shipped in another; and coverage adjustments for special situations in which shipments were omitted from
Census data.
7. Annual and unadjusted quarterly data shown in this table correspond
to country and area data in table 10, lines 2 and 18, except that imports
from international organizations, namely, purchases of nonmonetary gold
from the IMF, are included in data for other countries in Asia and Africa.
The memorandum items are defined as follows: Industrial countries: Western
Europe, Canada, Japan, and Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa:
members of OPEC: Venezuela, Ecuador, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia,
Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Algeria, Libya, Nigeria, Gabon;
Other countries: Latin American Republics. Other Western Hemisphere, and
Other countries in Asia and Africa, less OPEC and the IMF. Beginning in
1981, EC (9) becomes EC (10), including Greece.
8. The statistical identification of automotive products exports to Canada
(line D43) is not as complete and comprehensive as the identification of imports under the U.S.-Canada Automotive Products Trade Act. However, the
underestimation of automotive shipments to Canada due to unidentified auto
parts and unreported exports, amounting to about $1,562 million in 1980,
has been largely corrected in line C19.
9. Includes nuclear fuel materials and fuels.
Table 4:

1. Expenditures to release Israel from its contractual liability to pay for defense articles and services purchased through military sales contracts—authorized under Public Law 93-199 and subsequent similar legislation—are included
in line A3. Deliveries against these military sales contracts are included in line
CIO: see footnote 2. Of the line A3 items, part of the military expenditures is
applied in lines A38 and A41 to reduce short-term assets previously recorded in
lines A36 and C8; this application of funds is excluded from lines C3 and C4. A
second part of line A3 expenditures finances future deliveries under military
sales contracts and is applied directly to lines A37 and C9. A third portion of
line A3, disbursed directly to finance purchases by Israel and other countries
from commercial suppliers, is included in line A32.
2. Transactions under military sales contracts are those in which the Department of Defense sells and transfers military goods and services to a foreign purchaser, on a cash or credit basis. Purchases by foreigners directly from
commercial suppliers are not included as transactions under military sales contracts. The entries for the several categories of transactions related to military
sales contracts in this and other tables are partially estimated from incomplete data.




57

3. The identification of transactions involving direct dollar outflows from
the United States is made in reports by each operating agency. Data for the
second quarter 1981 are extrapolated estimates by BEA, because of incomplete
reports from one operating agency.
4. Line A33 includes foreign currency collected as interest and lines ASS
and B2 include foreign currency collected as principal, as recorded in lines A13
and A14 respectively.
5. Includes (a) advance payments of the Department of Defense (on military sales contracts) financed by loans extended to foreigners by U.S. Government agencies and (b) the counter value of the part of line CIO which was delivered without prepayment by the foreign purchaser. Also, includes expenditures of appropriations available to release foreign purchasers from liability
to make repayment.
6. Excludes liabilities associated with military sales contracts financed by
U.S. Government grants and credits and included in line C2.

purchases by foreigners ( + ) correspond to net U.S. sales ( + ) .
2. Redemptions consist of scheduled retirements and identifiable premature
retirements of U.S.-held foreign debt securities, and estimates for redemptions
of Canadian issues held by U.S. residents based on Canadian statistics. Unidentifiable nonscheduled retirements appear in line 31.

Eurodollar interest rates that made
corporate borrowing from Eurodollar
markets less attractive. U.S. domestic
loan demand rose strongly in the second
quarter and, in the face of a continued
restrictive monetary policy, U.S. banks
met increased demand by increasing
issues of domestic CD's and by borrowing from their foreign offices. Simultaneously, a rapid rise in the London
interbank offered rate (Libor) and a
lag in increases in the U.S. prime rate,
sharply reduced the differential between
the U.S. prime rate and the Libor rate,
making it more advantageous for U.S.
corporations to borrow from U.S.
banks. By the end of the quarter, when
the U.S. prime-Libor differential increased, the earlier net inflows were
p artly reversed.
Net foreign purchases of U.S. securities other than U.S. Treasury securities
rose to a record $3.5 billion, compared
with $2.5 billion. Purchases of U.S.
stocks were a record $2.8 billion, partly
due to expectations of continued dollar
strength. Purchases from Western
Europe were $1.7 billion, the third consecutive quarter of strong increases.
Flight capital from France following
the election of a Socialist government
probably contributed to the high-level
of purchases. Canadian purchases increased and there were net increases
from Japan for the first time in a year.
Foreign purchases of U.S. bonds remained strong at $0.6 billion, due to
high interest yields. New Eurobonds issued by U.S. corporations declined to
$0.1 billion from $0.2 billion.
Foreign direct investment in the
United States increased to $2.9 billion
from $2.5 billion, reflecting increased
equity and intercompany account inflows, largely from Japan and Europe.

§ Or increase in earmarked gold (—).
f The Federal Reserve has redefined the monetary aggregates. The redefinition was prompted
by the emergence in recent years of new monetary assets—for example, negotiable order of
withdrawal (NOW) accounts and money market mutual fund shares—and alterations in the
basic character of established monetary assets—for example, the growing similarity of and
substitution between the deposits of thrift institutions and those of commercial banks. Monthly
data from 1959 to d.ate are available from the Banking Section of the Division of Research
and Statistics at the Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D.C. 20551.
$ Composition of the money stock measures is as follows:
Ml-A.—This measure is currency plus demand deposits at commercial banks. It is essentially the same as the old M1 except that it excludes demand deposits held by foreign commercial banks and official institutions.
Ml-B.—This equals Ml-A plus interest-earning checkable deposits at all depositary
institutions—namely NOW accounts, automatic transfer from savings (ATS) accounts, and
credit union share draft balances—as well as a small amount of demand deposits at thrift
institutions that cannot, using present data sources, be separated from interest-earning checkable
deposits.




September 1981

M2.—This measure adds to Ml-B overnight repurchase agreements (RP's) issued by commercial banks and certain overnight Eurodollars (those issued by Caribbean branches of
member banks) held by U.S. nonbank residents, money market mutual fund shares, and
savings and small-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of less than
$100,000) at all depositary institutions. Depositary institutions are commercial banks (including
U.S. agencies and branches of foreign banks, Edge Act corporations, and foreign investment
companies), mutual savings banks, savings and loan associations, and credit unions.
M3.—This measure equals M2 plus large-denomination time deposits (those issued in denominations of $100,000 or more) at all depositary institutions (including negotiable CD's) plus
term RP's issued by commercial banks and savings and loan associations.
L.—This broad measure of liquid assets equals M3 plus other liquid assets consisting of
other Eurodollar holdings of U.S. nonbank residents, bankers acceptances, commercial paper,
savings bonds, and marketable liquid Treasury obligations.
$$ Includes ATS and NOW balances at all institutions, credit-union share draft balances,
and demand deposits at mutual savings banks.
# Overnight (and continuing contract) RP's are those issued by commercial banks to the
nonbank public, and overnight Eurodollars are those issued by Caribbean branches of member
banks to U.S. nonbank customers.
@ Small time deposits are those issued in amounts of less than $100,000. Large time
deposits are those issued in, amounts of $100,000 or more and are net of the holdings of
domestic banks, thrift institutions, the U.S. Government, money market mutual funds, and
foreign banks and official institutions.
