the BUSINESS SITUATION
iLCONOMIC performance was lackluster in the third quarter. BEA's
composite index of coincident indicators—which reflects the movements of
nonagricultural employment, real
personal income less transfer payments, industrial production, and real
manufacturing and trade sales—fell
at monthly rates of 0.3 percent in
July and 0.6 percent in August. The
index had fallen in 2 of the 3 months
of the second quarter, and for the
quarter as a whole was down 0.7 percent. Real GNP also showed little
strength. On a revised basis, it increased 2 percent at an annual rate
in the second quarter and, on the
basis of information available in midSeptember, it appears to have increased again in the thirdl quarter,
but less than in the second.
• Real personal consumption expenditures (PCE) increased less than
1 percent at an annual rate in the
third quarter. Weakness was widespread and particularly apparent in
durables, where each major category
declined. The weakness occurred despite sizable increases in real disposable personal income in both the
1. The 75-day revision of the second-quarter estimates (see table 4) was larger than usual. The revisions centered in the foreign military sales and direct
investment income components of net exports and in
change in business inventories. The revision in the
former reflected new information; in the latter, it reflected revised data on wholesale inventories.
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
fixed investment, the same data for autos and trucks
as for PCE, July construction put in place, July manufacturers' 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.




second and third quarters (see the following discussion of
"Personal
Income").
• Although information on fixed investment other than residential construction is sketchy, it is clear that
fixed investment registered a substantial drop in the third quarter. In producers' durable equipment, there
were large declines in purchases of
trucks, aircraft, and computers. Further weakening was evident in purchases of equipment—such as agricultural machinery, construction machinery, and mining and oil field
equipment—used in industries that
have been hard hit in the recession.
Nonresidential structures declined,
largely due to a further decline in oil
and gas well drilling. Other components remained flat. The article on
the quarterly BEA plant and equipment expenditures survey, which appears later in this issue, throws additional light on business fixed investment.
• Residential investment again registered a moderate increase. As described in the following discussion of
"Housing and Mortgage Markets,"
much of the third-quarter increase reflected activity on government-assisted multifamily projects. Housing
starts and financial conditions suggest
that the long slide in residential investment is over.
• Little information is yet available
about the other components of final
sales—net exports and government
purchases. It appears that together
they contributed a small plus to the
third-quarter change in final sales.
The total of these sales appears to
have shown little change in the third
quarter.
• For the change in business inventories, reasonably complete information is available only for motor vehicles (see the following discussion of
"Motor Vehicles"). Accumulation of
motor vehicle inventories was at a
slightly higher rate in the third quarter than in the second, so that the

contribution to the change in2 GNP
was a plus—about $2 billion. This
contribution contrasts sharply with
that in the second quarter, when—as
motor vehicle inventories swung
sharply from a substantial decumulation in the first quarter to accumulation in the second—these inventories
added about $12 fc billion.
Prices.—After increasing at annual
rates of only about 4% percent in the
first half of the year, the GNP fixedweighted price index accelerated
about 2 percentage points in the third
quarter. A substantial part of the acceleration was in the prices of PCE.
PCE energy prices were the single
most important factor. After a 13%percent decline in the second quarter,
they were up in the third, reflecting
gasoline price increases late in the
second quarter and early in the third.
Food prices decelerated from a 4-percent increase registered in the second
quarter, and prices for PCE other
than food and energy accelerated
from a 6-percent increase, mainly due
to an acceleration of residential rents.

Personal Income
Personal income increased $49% billion—the largest increase in recent
quarters (table 1). The step-up in the
third quarter was largely due to
transfer payments. These payments
included a $12 billion cost-of-living increase under several Federal transfer
payment programs; about $11 billion
was in social security benefits. A
smaller increase than in the second
quarter in unemployment insurance
benefits was due to a decline in payments under extended benefit programs. The increase in wage and
salary disbursements was again weak.
In the commodity-producing industries, disbursements declined again; in
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.

the third quarter, as in the second,
the decline centered in mining. An acceleration in government and government enterprise disbursements was
due to the second of three annual
lump-sum payments to Postal Service
employees under a collective-bargaining agreement signed last year. Personal interest income increased a
little less than in the second quarter,
reflecting lower interest rates.
In the third quarter, as in the previous three quarters, the impacts of
changes in legislation on personal
taxes helped insulate disposable personal income from the weakness in
personal income. These impacts are
detailed in table 2. In the fourth quarter of 1981, withheld income taxes
were reduced $15 billion under the
Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981
(ERTA). In the first quarter, a $10 &
billion reduction included the impact
of the ERTA rate changes on declarations and net settlements ($5 billion),
and temporary reductions under
ERTA ($1 billion for a windfall profit
tax credit), and under the Crude Oil
Windfall Profit Tax Act of 1980 ($3
billion for the partial exclusion of in-




terest and dividends). An additional
ERTA provision—the authorization of
all savers' certificates—temporarily
reduced declarations and net settlements $1 billion in the second quarter. In the third quarter, the second
rate reduction on withheld income
taxes under ERTA, currently estimated at $25 billion, became effective. Its
impact on the change in personal
taxes was partly offset by the termination of the temporary reductions.
Net, the impact of this legislation
held down personal taxes about $20
billion in the third quarter.
Personal taxes declined in the third
quarter, even though the continuing
effect of the increase in the tax base
partly offset legislative impact. Accordingly, disposable personal income
increased more than did personal
income. The percentage increase in
disposable income, 10% percent at an
annual rate, was substantially larger
than in other recent quarters. However, the increase in prices of PCE as
measured by the implicit price deflator was substantial—about 8 percent,
the largest since the recession began.
As a result, the increase in real disposable income was held to 2% percent, compared with a second-quarter
increase of 3 percent.
The personal saving rate appears to
have moved up several tenths of a
percentage point from 6.7 percent in
the second quarter. The rate, although down from 7.5 percent in the
fourth quarter of 1981, has averaged
higher this year than in any of the
preceding 5 years.

Housing and Mortgage
Markets
Real residential investment increased moderately in the third quarter. Single-family structures posted a
small increase for the third consecutive quarter; multifamily structures
increased sharply, following two quarters of almost no change. The "other"
component—which includes mobile
homes, additions and alterations, and
brokers' commissions on the sale of
new and used residences—was flat in
the third quarter.
The recent sharp decline in shortterm interest rates and the 234,000unit increase in housing starts from
the fourth quarter of 1981 to JulyAugust 1982 suggest that the long
slide in residential investment is over.
These and other developments in
housing and mortgage markets are reviewed below. First, estimates of real
residential investment are examined,
largely in terms of their relationship
to housing starts. Next, financial factors are discussed; these include interest rate movements and conditions in
the savings and loan industry.
Residential investment. — The
month-to-month path of housing
starts this year has been erratic
(chart 1). Compared with their fourthquarter 1981 averages, however,
single-family units started in JulyAugust were up 81,000 units and multifamily units started were up
153,000. The July-August level of
single-family starts, although much
above the depressed fourth-quarter
level, was nonetheless very low. Multifamily starts in May and July were
boosted by issuance by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (in March) of commitments to
purchase almost $1 billion of belowmarket rate mortgages under the section 8 rental assistance program. Further stimulus from this mortgage-purchase program is not expected, because funds have not been requested
for fiscal year 1983. Thus, the increase in multifamily starts does not
appear to represent a lasting, marketinduced response to economic conditions. A July increase in rent subsidies under the section 8 program
may, however, give a further boost to
multifamily starts in the autumn.
Real residential investment usually
tracks the course of housing starts.
The relationship is far from perfect,
however, even after removal of the

"other" component from residential
investment — this component now accounts for more than two-fifths of real
residential investment— and even
after separation of the rest of residential investment into its single-family
and multifamily structures components.
Housing starts is the number of
housing units on which construction
begins during a particular period,
whereas real investment in residential structures is the value (in 1972
dollars) of housing units put in place
during a period. For single-family
structures, the number of starts is
combined with the value of hew
single-family construction (based on
the Building Permits Survey) to
derive the value of starts in a given
month. Weights are then applied to
the value of starts to generate estimates of the value of construction put
in place that month and in subsequent months. These progress weights
stretch forward 11 months from the
date of the starts; more than one-half
of the value of starts is assumed to be
put in place in less than 3 months,
however, and 90 percent within 6
months. The put-in-place series is
then seasonally adjusted. Real investment estimates are obtained by deflation of the series by an index based
on the prices of new one-family
houses sold. Thus, lags between starts
and construction put in place,
changes in the average value of
starts, and changes in the deflator
can all contribute to disparities be-




tween the movements of starts and
investment in single-family structures.
In the first quarter of this year, for
example, the number of single-family
housing starts increased about 10%
percent. The effect of this increase on
real investment was muted substantially by a decline (5% percent) in the
average value of starts and an increase (% percent) in the deflator.
Lags between starts and construction
put in place had a similar effect, with
the result that real investment in
single-family structures rose only 1
percent. (Percent changes in this
paragraph are not at annual rates.)
For multifamily structures, the
value of construction put in place,
rather than being derived using
starts, is from a survey of a sample of
builders. However, in principle, the
same factors that give rise to disparate movements in single-family
starts and construction put in place
are responsible for such movements
in the two multifamily series. Because
multifamily construction ranges from
two-unit duplexes to high rise condominiums, the lag between starts and
construction put in place is even more
likely to give rise to disparate movements in the multifamily series.
Financial
developments. —Shortterm interest rates started a steep decline in mid-July. The prime rate, for
example, dropped 300 basis points by
the end of August, and rates on
Treasury bills dropped by similar
amounts. (Interest rates on construc-

tion loans are tied to the prime rate,
and ceiling rates on short-term retail
certificates of deposit are linked to
Treasury bill rates.) Many long-term
interest rates also declined, although
not as sharply; corporate bond yields,
for example, fell 156 basis points from
late June to mid-September.
The Federal Home Loan Bank
Board's mortgage commitment rate
series declined 21 basis points from
early July to early August, the latest
period for which data are available
(chart 2). Although this decline was
much smaller than the declines just
mentioned, it was the largest in the
series this year. Further declines in
mortgage rates are likely. Over the
past decade, changes in mortgage
rates have generally lagged changes
in other long-term rates by several
months. The July-September drop in
other long-term rates, therefore, may
presage a substantial drop in mortgage rates this autumn. Moreover,
yields at Federal National Mortgage
Association (FNMA) auctions, which
are widely viewed as indicating future
changes in mortgage rates, declined
in each of the last five bi-weekly auctions, by a total of 182 basis points. In
fact, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation's mortgage commitment rate series, which is available
weekly, showed a decline of 137 basis
points—comparable in magnitude to
the decline in corporate bond yields—
from mid-July to mid-September.3
The Bank Board's series stood at
16.5 percent in early August, and the
Mortgage Corporation's at 15.6 in
mid-September. It is not clear whether further declines, assuming they
materialize, will carry the mortgage
rate below the 13-14 percent generally regarded as the threshold that will
bring borrowers back to the market
in large numbers. Mortgage lenders
may be reluctant to reduce rates
sharply. They had done so in the
summer of 1980 when other market
rates plummeted, only to find themselves locked into unprofitable commitments when rates turned back up
in the autumn. Competitive forces,
however, may drive mortgage rates
down regardless of the concerns of'
particular lenders.
3. The Bank Board's series is for 25-year mortgages
with a loan to price ratio of 0.75, and covers all mortgage lenders. The Mortgage Corporation's series
covers 30-year mortgages with a loan to price ratio of
0.80, and is based on a sample of savings and loan associations. Both series, as well as the FNMA auction
yields, are for conventional, level payment mortgages.

end of July are rolled over at 9% percent yields, the reduction in interest
costs to S&L's would average approximately $K billion per month during
the next 6 months.
Furthermore, S&L earnings should
improve somewhat as mortgage
demand picks up. The Supreme Court
ruled in June that "due-on-sale"
clauses are enforceable even if States
have passed laws prohibiting their enforcement. House buyers will not be
able to assume low-rate mortgages
taken out years earlier by sellers.
S&L's will be relieved of these lowrate mortgages and replace them with
higher yielding new mortgages. (The
non-assumability of old mortgages, on
the other hand, can be expected to
reduce the demand for housing below
the level that it would otherwise have
been. For this reason, representatives
of builders and real estate brokers opposed the Court's decision.)

'Ceiling rate at savings and loans associations.
U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Economic Analysis

The decline in short-term rates is
unalloyed good news for savings and
loan associations (S&L/s) and other
depository institutions. S&L/s have
been especially hard hit by the very
high interest rates that have prevailed until recently. S&L net worth,
which is used as an indicator of operating profit or loss, has fallen more
than $5 billion—more than 15 percent—since the end of the third quarter of 1981. Losses such as these have
thinned the ranks of S&L's substantially. During the first 7 months of
this year, for example, 318 associations (with combined assets of $43
billion) disappeared through mergers,
almost as many associations as disappeared in all of 1981. The number of
associations that disappeared in each
period was more than 8 percent of the
total number of associations at the
start of each period.
The recent declines in short-term
interest rates should provide S&L/s
with considerable relief. Most S&L liabilities are now either linked to
market rates or not regulated at all.
In addition to 6-month money market
certificates (MMC's), 30-month small
savers' certificates (SSC's), and taxexempt all savers' certificates, the recently authorized 1-month and 3


month certificates are linked to yields
on U.S. Treasury securities. Jumbo
certificates (which are issued in denominations of $100,000 and more),
1%-year individual retirement account
balances, and 3%-year "wild card" accounts have no ceilings. MMC's,
SSC's, and jumbo certificates alone
make up more than two-thirds of
total S&L deposit liabilities. If Treasury bill rates remain in the singledigit range, S&L's can expect substantial relief from the cost pressures they
have experienced for the past several
years. For example, if the $180 billion
in outstanding MMC's at S&L's at the

Motor vehicle output increased
much less in the third quarter than it
had in the second—$1 billion (1972
dollars) compared with $10 billion
(table 3). Auto output increased less
than in the second quarter, and truck
output declined following an increase.
Auto sales to domestic purchasers
were flat in the third quarter; an increase in final sales was traceable to

ment loans. Apparently, consumers
remained wary after the prolonged
period of poor economic performance:
Job uncertainty persisted as the unemployment rate reached a postwar
high during the quarter. The downturn in auto installment rates was
slow; in August, the rate charged by
commercial banks was still above 17
percent.
Domestic car production increased
to 6.1 million units (seasonally adjusted annual rate) from 5.4 million in
the second quarter and 4.2 million in
the first. Schedules at the beginning
of the third quarter indicated a larger
increase, but production was cut back
as the quarter progressed. The cutbacks were induced by the lackluster
sales, which resulted in a rapid inventory buildup of 1982 models as the
model year drew to a close. End-ofAugust inventories were 1,486,000
(seasonally
adjusted), up
from
1,247,000 at the end of the second
quarter, and the inventory/sales ratio
was 3.3, up from 2.7. The cutbacks
were accomplished by extending the
downtime for model changeover and
by reducing the rate of production of
1983 models.
Total new truck sales declined from
2.5 million (seasonally adjusted
annual rate) in the second quarter to
about 2.3 million in the third. Sales of
both domestic light (under 10,000
pound) and "other" (over 10,000
pound) trucks declined. Inventories
began to build up, and production was
cut to try to bring them back into line
with sales. Sales of imported trucks
rebounded from the 4-year low in the
second quarter.

Corporate profits from current production—profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments—were $155% billion in the
second quarter, down only $1% billion
from the first quarter of 1982 but
down $45 billion from the first quarter of 1981. (The second-quarter estimate is $% billion higher than the one
published a month ago. An upward
revision in profits from the rest of the
world more than offset a downward
revision in profits of domestic corporations.) The second-quarter decline
was in profits of domestic nonfinancial corporations; profits from the rest

of the world and profits of domestic financial corporations increased. In the
first quarter, when the total had decreased $27 billion, profits of each of
these major groups had decreased.
Profits from the rest of the world
increased $1% billion to $18 billion in
the second qurarter, following a decrease of $9 billion. The increase occurred as a decrease in the profits of
foreign petroleum operations of U.S.
corporations was more than offset by
an increase in nonpetroleum profits.
The nonpetroleum increase occurred
despite weakness in the economies of
most other industrial countries and
appears to have been centered in the
profits of Canadian affiliates of U.S.
motor vehicle manufacturing corporations. These profits reflected a sharp
increase in U.S. imports of Canadianmade motor vehicles and parts. Over
the last two quarters, rest-of-theworld profits contributed substantially to the volatility of the total, as they
have done in some other recent periods as well. One component of these
profits, reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates, was first included
at the time of the comprehensive revision of the national income and product accounts in 1980. The definition of
these earnings, the sources and methods used to prepare estimates, and
their course in recent years are described in a Special Note beginning
on page 6.
Profits of domestic financial corporations increased $2% billion to $22%
billion in the second quarter, following a decrease of less than $% billion.
The increase occurred despite a decrease in commercial banks' profits
and was primarily due to reduced
losses of savings and loan associations. The reduced losses reflected
decreasing interest rates, which lowered the costs of attracting deposits;
because about three-fourths of savings
and loan associations' assets are longterm mortgages, most of which have
fixed interest rates, reductions in interest rates improve profitability. Increased profits of insurance carriers
also contributed to the increase in financial profits.
Profits of domestic nonfinancial corporations decreased $5% billion to
$115 billion in the second quarter, following a decrease of $18 billion. Decreases in the profits in most nonmanufacturing industries accounted

Special Note*—Reinvested Earnings of Incorporated Affiliates in the National
Income and Product Accounts

PROFITS from the rest of the world
is a sizable part of corporate profits:
It was 12 percent of the total in 1981
and was among the largest of the
components shown in the detail of
profits by industry. Further, rest-ofthe-world profits accounted for a disproportionate share—almost onethird—of the last 3 years' profits
slide.
Rest-of-the-world profits is the net
receipts by the United States of dividends, earnings of unincorporated affiliates, and reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates. The receipts are
those of U.S. corporations and persons, and the payments are those to
all foreigners. The dividends component consists of both the dividends in
direct investment income and those in
portfolio investment income, an
income classification based on the
extent of ownership by a foreign resident in the case of investment in the
United States and by a U.S. resident
in the case of investment abroad (10
percent or more for direct, less than
10 percent for portfolio). Earnings of
unincorporated affiliates are part of
direct investment income, as are the
reinvested earnings of incorporated
affiliates.
This Special Note discusses the reinvested earnings component, which,
in 1981, accounted for over one-third
of rest-of-the-world profits. The definition of reinvested earnings, and the
sources and methods used to implement it, point to the factors that underlie the sharp changes in reinvested
earnings in recent years (see chart 4).
As a component of rest-of-the-world
profits in the national income and
product accounts (NIPA's), reinvested
earnings is the difference between
U.S. residents' share (generally in
proportion to equity participation) of
reinvested earnings of incorporated
foreign affiliates of U.S. direct investors (receipts) and foreign residents'
share of reinvested earnings of U.S.
affiliates of foreign direct investors
(payments). Receipts are included in




"national" aggregates, such as national income—that is, aggregates referring to production attributable to factors of production supplied by U.S.
residents—but payments are excluded. For "domestic" aggregates,
such as gross domestic product—that
is, aggregates referring to production
attributable to factors of production
located in the United States—the opposite is the case: Payments are included but receipts are excluded.
In addition to appearing as part of
profits in type-of-income classifications, reinvested earnings is part of
the rest-of-the-world sector in sectorof-origin classifications. In GNP by
type of product, receipts of reinvested
earnings are in the factor income
component of exports, and payments
are in the corresponding component
of imports. Further, reinvested earnings is in gross investment (as net foreign investment) and in gross saving
(as undistributed corporate profits).
Reinvested earnings of incorporated
affiliates was first included in the
NIPA's as part of the comprehensive
revision of 1980. These earnings had
been included in the U.S. international transactions accounts several years
earlier. Expansion in the early 1970's
in the item coverage of BEA's surveys
of international investment facilitated
preparation of estimates for both sets
of accounts. * As a result of the inclusion of both dividends and reinvested
earnings of incorporated affiliates in
the NIPA's, rest-of-the-world profits
was made essentially invariant to the
form in which earnings of incorporated affiliates are attributed to direct
investors.
1. In June 1976, BEA introduced estimates of reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates as memoranda to the quarterly U.S. international transactions accounts. Two years later, receipts and payments
became line items in those accounts, consistent with
guidelines established by the International Monetary
Fund. Estimates of reinvested earnings appear in payments and receipts of income on direct investment
and, with sign reversed, in the direct investment capital accounts. As shown in NIPA table 4.5, the estimates of direct investment income in the international transactions accounts include, but those in the
NIPA's exclude, capital gains net of losses.

Sources and methods
For both receipts and payments, the
estimates of reinvested earnings are
calculated as the difference between
earnings and dividends (on common
and preferred stock). In this calculation, the dividends item is dividends
paid in the accounting period before
host-country withholding taxes on
dividends. The earnings item is the
net income for the accounting period,
net of host-country income taxes. (Because the dividends item is on an "as
paid" basis, it, and hence reinvested
earnings, cannot in general be related
only to the earnings of a single accounting period.)
Data on earnings and dividends are
collected by BEA from the universe of
incorporated affiliates in benchmark
surveys of foreign direct investment
in the United States and of U.S.
direct investment abroad. Estimates
for benchmark years are extrapolated
using quarterly sample surveys. In
the extrapolation, account is taken of
affiliates not covered by the sample
surveys; adjustments are made to include new affiliates and to exclude
those liquidated or sold. Data are aggregated by country and industry,
and published annually, usually in
the August issue of the SURVEY.
Annual and quarterly estimates are
incorporated in the NIPA's (and in
the U.S. international transactions accounts) in more aggregated form. Beginning with estimates for 1978, reinvested earnings in the NIPA's, like'
other NIPA components, exclude capital gains and losses; for earlier years,
data needed to exclude them are not
available. Neither an inventory valuation nor a capital consumption adjustment is made, also because data are
not available.
Receipts and payments of reinvested earnings are deflated as part of
factor income in the NIPA's using the
implicit price deflator for net domes-




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
tic product. Lack of detailed price
data by country and industry necessitates the use of such a broad domestic
price measure. Its use can be justified
partly because exchange rate movements over time tend to offset
changes in relative prices among
countries, and because the degree of
industrial concentration of direct investment is not great.
Reinvested earnings, 1977-81
In the 1970's through 1977, reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates varied between $3 and $7 billion.
Thereafter, it increased sharply to a
peak of $15 % billion in 1979, and then
declined $3% billion in 1980 and in
1981. Fluctuations can be traced in
terms of factors affecting earnings
and payments of dividends. Among
those affecting dividends are recent
years' earnings, changes in homecountry taxation, and host-country restrictions and taxes on dividends.
In recent years, fluctuations in receipts—that is, in reinvested earnings
of foreign affiliates of U.S. direct investors—rather than in payments,
have been the source of most of the
fluctuations in the net. Movements in
exchange rates were one factor that
played a major role in determining
the pattern of receipts. Earnings
abroad, which firms generally calculate initially in foreign currencies, are
reported to BEA, and expressed in the
NIPA's, in dollars. Thus, dollar depreciation against the currency of a
country where the earnings are generated generally raises the dollar
measure; dollar appreciation generally lowers it. A trade-weighted index of
the foreign currency price of the
dollar, based on 22 currencies, declined 9 percent in 1978, steadied in
1979, and then rose 3 percent in 1980
and 13% percent in 1981. Developments in the petroleum industry

worldwide were another major factor
determining the pattern of receipts.
On the up side of the 1979 peak in
receipts, increases in 1978 and 1979
reflected sharp increases in earnings
in combination with less than proportional increases in dividends. Earnings were boosted in 1978 by depreciation of the dollar and in 1979 by increased prices and production of petroleum products and by continuing
high worldwide inflation. In both
years, much of the earnings tended to
be reinvested, probably in part to finance the replacement of physical
assets at costs exceeding allowances
calculated under historical cost accounting. Also, a 1979 change in the
United Kingdom in the tax treatment
of inventory profits prompted affiliates there to reinvest newly available
funds.
On the downside of the peak in receipts, the 1980 decline reflected a decline in earnings in combination with
an increase in dividends, and the 1981
decline, a decline in earnings. In 1980,
much of the decline occurred in the
reinvested earnings of affiliates in the
United Kingdom, where, as previously
noted, a tax change caused a one-year
jump in reinvested earnings in 1979.
The decline in earnings in 1981 was
due to slowing foreign economic activity as well as appreciation of the
dollar against major foreign currencies.
As can be seen from the chart, payments were much more stable than
receipts. Increases in 1978, 1979, and
1980 reflected increases in earnings in
combination with a decline (in 1978)
or less than proportional increase (in
1979 and 1980) in dividends. These increases were centered in petroleum
affiliates, where earnings rose at extremely high rates. A decline in 1981
reflected a sharp decline in earnings
in combination with a sharp increase
in dividends.

The first- and second-quarter levels

some provisions of the recently enacted Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 that were retroactive to the beginning of the year. (For
a discussion of the act, see the article

for most of the second-quarter decrease. In manufacturing, quarter-toquarter changes in profits have been
closely related to quarter-to-quarter
changes in constant-dollar manufacturing sales in recent years (chart 5).
In the second quarter, manufacturing
profits decreased slightly, following
large decreases in each of the two previous quarters, while constant-dollar
sales increased slightly, following
large decreases. The second-quarter
decrease in manufacturing profits was
largely traceable to decreased profits
for petroleum, chemicals, fabricated
metals, and nonelectrical machinery
manufacturers and increased losses of
primary metals manufacturers. Offsetting these were a swing from substantial losses to profits for motor vehicle manufacturers and increased
profits in most other manufacturing
industries.
Other measures of profits.—Profits
before tax were unchanged at $171%
billion in the second quarter, following a decrease of $45 billion in the
first. These profits exclude the inventory valuation adjustment and capital
consumption adjustment.4 Inventory




profits—the IVA with sign reversed—
increased $5 billion to $9% billion in
the second quarter, following a decrease of $12% billion. Profits attributable
to underdepreciation—the
CCAdj with sign reversed—decreased
$3 billion to $7 billion in the second
quarter, following a decrease of $5%
billion. Somewhat more than $2 billion of each decrease in the CCAdj
was due to provisions of the Economic
Recovery Tax Act of 1981, which have
progressively reduced profits attributable to underdepreciation. The
second-quarter decrease is also consistent with rates of inflation in
prices for fixed nonresidential investment that were lower than those experienced over the service lives of the
assets: such lower rates of inflation
lead to less negative values for the
portion of the CCAdj that values fixed
capital used up in production at replacement costs rather that at historical costs.

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.

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.

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=100) is
weighted by the ratio of the quantity of the item valued in 1972 prices to the total output in 1972
prices. Changes in the implicit price deflator reflect both changes in prices and changes 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.

Federal Budget Developments

YEAR after Congress passed the
largest tax reduction in history—the
Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981—
the Federal government was faced
with mounting deficits over the next
3 years. As a means of reducing these
deficits, Congress passed, in midAugust, the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982; it was signed
in early September. Over a 3-year
period—calendar years 1982-84—the
act provides $75 billion in additional
receipts, $6 billion in net expenditures reductions, and hence a reduction of $81 billion in the Federal deficit on the national income and product accounting (NIPA) basis (table 1).
Major features of the act are:
• Withholding of 10 percent on interest and dividend payments, effective July 1, 1983.
• Strengthening of compliance provisions, such as the reporting of
State and local government
income tax refunds.
• Modification of the deductions for
medical expenses and casualty
losses, generally effective January 1, 1983.
• Repeal of modified coinsurance
transactions, effective January 1,
1982, and introduction of other
changes that reduce insurance industry taxes.
• Repeal of safe-harbor leasing, effective January 1, 1984, and enactment of various other modifications and restrictions for leasing that are generally effective
July 1, 1982.
• Modification and tightening of
regulations governing long-term
contract accounting, effective
January 1, 1983 for new contracts.
• Temporary increases in airport
and airway taxes, cigarette taxes,
and telephone taxes.
• An increase in the wage base and
tax rate for unemployment taxes,
effective January 1, 1983.




• Extension of coverage to Federal
employees of hospital insurance
under medicare, effective January 1, 1983.
• Payment of supplemental unemployment benefits up to 10 additional weeks, effective September
12, 1982, through March 31, 1983;
and
• Reduction in medicare and medicaid spending, generally effective
October 1, 1982.

Receipts
Receipts are increased in each of
the 3 years: $2.3 billion in 1982
(mostly in corporate profits tax accruals), $31.9 billion in 1983, and $40.9
billion in 1984.
Personal tax and nontax receipts
Personal tax and nontax receipts
are increased $13.0 billion in 1983 and
$15.7 billion in 1984. Withheld income
taxes account for a significant part of
the 1983 increase and more than account for the 1984 increase, largely
due to the 10-percent withholding of
interest and dividend payments. Various other compliance provisions, including the reporting of State and
local income tax refunds, interest,
and tips, also increase withholdings.
The exemption of certain independent
contractors, such as real estate
agents, from withholding reduces
taxes slightly.
Declarations and net settlements
are increased by a number of provisions, although on balance they decline after 1983 due to the withholding provision for interest and dividends. As individuals pay taxes on interest and dividends throughout the
year, their declarations and net settlements will be reduced.
Among the provisions increasing
declarations and net settlements are
the modifications to the deductions

for medical expenses and casualty
losses. The act repeals, effective January 1, 1983, the deduction for one-half
of health insurance premiums (up to
$150) and increases to 5 percent from
3 percent the amount by which medical expenses must exceed adjusted
gross income to be deductible. The deduction for prescription drug costs exceeding 1 percent of adjusted gross
income is also repealed, effective January 1, 1984. Thereafter, only legally
prescribed drugs and insulin are deductible. The act establishes a new
floor for casualty losses at 10 percent
of adjusted gross income. Combined,
these two provisions increase taxes
$2.3 billion in 1984. Repeal of the 15percent add-on minimum tax and revision of the alternative minimum tax
increases taxes $0.7 billion. The reduction of the income thresholds—
from $20,000 to $12,000 for single returns and from $25,000 to $18,000 for
joint returns—that limits the inclusion of unemployment benefits in adjusted gross income increases taxes
$0.6 billion.
Corporate profits tax accruals
Corporate profits tax accruals are
increased $9.9 billion in 1983 and
$15.2 billion in 1984. A few of the provisions, particularly those relating to
insurance (retroactively effective to
January 1, 1982), affect taxes in 1982.
The safe-harbor leasing modifications
and restrictions, including restrictions
on the amount of deductions for accelerated depreciation and the investment tax credit (generally effective
July 1, 1982), increase corporate taxes
$3.7 billion in 1984. Other major provisions increasing these taxes are: (1)
limitations on the tax benefits that
arise from mergers and acquisitions;
(2) modification and tightening of regulations governing long-term contract
accounting; (3) requiring the amortization of construction interest and
taxes over 10 years instead of allow21

22
ing deduction on a current basis; (4)
modification to the investment tax
credit, such as requiring deduction of
one-half of the value of credits before
computing depreciation for a new
asset, instead of allowing the depreciation of the full value; and, (5) a 15percent reduction, generally effective
January 1, 1983, in several corporate
tax preferences, such as deductions
for mining exploration and development and for depletion of coal and
iron ore.
Indirect business tax and nontax accruals
Indirect business tax and nontax
accruals are increased $5.1 billion in

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

September

1983 and $5.7 billion in 1984. Various
changes, generally effective from September 1, 1983 through December 31,
1987, increase airport and airway
taxes; these changes include: (1) the 5percent tax on domestic air passenger
tickets is increased to 8 percent; (2)
the 4-cents-per-gallon tax on other
noncommercial aviation fuels is increased to 12 cents; (3) the imposition
of a 14-cents-per-gallon tax on other
noncommercial aviation fuels; (4) the
reimposition of the 5-percent tax on
air freight waybills; and (5) the reimposition of the $3 per person international departure tax. Other excise tax
increases are for cigarettes and telephone services. The tax of 4 cents per

package of cigarettes is doubled, effective January 1, 1983, through September 30, 1985. A special tax is also imposed on cigarette floor stocks removed before the effective date, and
held for sale on that date. The current 1-percent telephone tax (which
was scheduled to expire after 1984) is
increased to 3 percent for calendar
years 1983-85. The act also repeals a
windfall profit tax adjustment for certain Alaskan oil, effective January 1,
1983.
Contributions for social insurance
Contributions for social insurance
are increased $3.9 billion in 1983 and
$4.3 billion in 1984. The increase in

the unemployment tax wage base (to
$7,000 from $6,000) and in the basic
Federal tax rate (to 0.8 percent from
0.7 percent) increases contributions
$2.3 billion in 1984. The provision requiring Federal employees to pay the
current 1.3 percent hospital insurance
tax under medicare (on a wage base
of $35,100) will be matched by employing agencies, therefore doubling
the impact on NIPA contributions.
The act also provides for a temporary
suspension of the limitation on
annual increases in supplementary
medical insurance premiums, effective July 1, 1983 and 1984.

Expenditures
Expenditures are increased $0.9 billion in 1982 due to the temporary supplemental unemployment benefits,
but are reduced $2.0 billion in 1983
and $5.1 billion in 1984.
The largest expenditure reduction
is in transfer payments to persons,
due to a number of provisions reducing medicare benefits. The largest of
these is a limit on reimbursements to
hospitals. Other provisions provide for
private-sector utilization review and
eliminate duplicate payments. Grantsin-aid to State and local governments
are also reduced, largely in medicaid.
Medicaid grants are reduced primarily by permitting States to place liens
on the property of permanently institutionalized beneficiaries in order to
recover the cost of medical services,

and by limiting hospital reimbursements. Net interest paid is also reduced through various debt management techniques, including variable
interest rates on savings bonds.
Purchases of goods and services and
also subsidies less the current surplus
of government enterprises are increased as a result of the extension of
medicare hospital coverage to Federal
employees. Under this provision (on
the NIPA basis), the compensation of
Federal employees will increase by
the amount of the employer matching
payments. It is very likely that agencies will have to absorb the matching
payment and that these expenditures
will not increase.

for fiscal years 1983 and 1984 and by
reducing payments up to $1 from the
current price-support level of $13.10
per hundred pounds in fiscal years
1983 and 1984, unless dairymen cut
production sharply. The other farm
program savings ($0.3 billion) require
new payments to farmers for not
growing crops (wheat, feed grain, and
rice). Detail was not available for a
NIPA translation, but these reductions would reduce nondefense purchases and increase subsidies.
The reduction in Federal employee
retirement payments will be achieved
by a number of provisions. (1) Cost-ofliving adjustments (COLA's) are reduced by 50 percent during the next 3
fiscal years for retirees below age 62.
(2) The effective date of the COLA's in
each of the next 3 years is delayed a
month. Intead of paying COLA's on
March 1 annually, they will be paid
in April 1983, May 1984, and June
1985. (3) "Double-dipping" by military
retirees who obtain Federal civilian
jobs is eliminated by reducing the individual's civilian pay by the amount
of the military COLA. (These provisions reduce NIPA transfer payments
to persons.)
The reduction in food stamps will
be achieved through a host of program changes, including a 1-percentage point reduction in COLA's in October 1982-84, and rounding benefits
down to the next lowest dollar. (These
provisions would also reduce NIPA
transfer payments to persons.)

Other Budget Developments
Congress also passed in mid-August
the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation
Act of 1982, providing for an additional $13.3 billion reduction in spending
over the next 3 fiscal years. The
major features of the act are: a $4.5
billion reduction (over the next 3
fiscal years) in farm programs; a $4.1
billion reduction in Federal employee
retirement payments; and a $1.9 billion reduction in food stamps.
The largest farm program reduction
($4.2 billion) is for dairy price supports, or direct purchases of dairy
products by the Commodity Credit
Corporation. The savings will be
achieved by freezing price supports

Accounting for Regional Differences in Per Capita Personal
Income Growth, 1929-79
FROM 1929 to 1979, when per
capita personal income grew more
than ninefold in each of the eight
BEA regions, regional differences in
per capita income narrowed. Per
capita income increased from 64 to 91
percent of the national average in the
low-income regions (Southeast, Southwest, Plains, and Rocky Mountain),
and declined from 127 to 107 percent
of the national average in the highincome regions (Mideast, Far West,
New England, and Great Lakes).
This article provides measures of
the relative regional contributions of
the per capita income components to
the narrowing of regional differences
in each of six timespans included in
1929-79: 1929-40, 1940-50, 1950-59,
1959-69, 1969-73, and 1973-79.l The
choice of years for the first three timespans is based solely on data availability, and that for the subsequent timespans is based on national business
cycle peaks in order to separate trend
from cyclical changes. Chart 6 shows
that, in each of the six timespans, per
capita income increased as a percent
of the national average in the lowincome regions and declined as a percent of the national average in the
high-income regions. The disparity between the rates of change, however,
varied over time (table 1). Further, it
will be shown that the components of
NOTE.—Robert Bretzfelder and Bruce Levine,
assisted by Ronald Catzva, made substantial
contributions in implementing the methodology
and in preparing and analyzing the tables.
Frank de Leeuw and Ray Grimes contributed
to the development of the methodology and to
the analysis of the findings. Elizabeth Queen,
Kenneth Berkman, and Robert Brown, all
under the direction of Edwin Coleman, and
Kenneth Johnson developed special estimates
and statistical techniques.

1. The measures are based on estimates of State personal income published in the July 1981 SURVEY OF
CURRENT BUSINESS. Use of the revised estimates published in the August 1982 SURVEY, which was precluded because of time constraints, would have little
effect on the findings of this article.

per capita income that governed the
rates of change also varied over time.
Per capita personal income may be
separated into three major components, each on a per capita basis: (1)
labor and proprietors' income, (2) personal dividend, interest, and rental
income, and (3) transfer payments.
Each component contributed to the
narrowing of regional differences in
most of the timespans. Labor and proprietors' income per capita is further
subdivided in order to identify and
measure the contributions to the narrowing of other factors, such as the
mix of employment by industry, wage
rates by industry, and employmentpopulation ratios. Some of these subcomponents could not be estimated
for the early timespans because data
prior to 1950, especially for 1929, are
limited. Accordingly, the following
overview discusses the contributions
of the components (and subcomponents) of per capita income for 1940-79
rather than 1929-79.

Overview, 1940-79
From 1940 to 1979, when each
major component contributed to the
narrowing of regional differences in
per capita personal income, the contributing factors, and the shares of
the narrowing that they accounted

for, were: (1) more uniform regional
industrial mixes of employment, accounting for about one-half of the
narrowing; (2) more uniform regional
distributions of personal dividend, interest, and rental income per capita,
for about one-eighth; (3) more uniform
regional distributions of transfer payments per capita, also for about oneeighth; (4) more uniform regional
ratios of employment to working-age
population, for about one-tenth; and
(5) reduced regional differentials in
wage rates (adjusted for regional differences in industrial mix), also for
about one-tenth. Factors 1, 4, and 5,
which are directly related to employment income, together accounted for
about three-quarters of the narrowing. The discussion that follows emphasizes these three factors.
The trend toward more uniform regional industrial mixes of employment
(factor 1) was, in large part, a result
of a reallocation of redundant farm
workers. In 1940, in the low-income
regions, farming, which was a relatively low-paying industry, accounted
for a large share of total employment.
In the early 1940's, large-scale mechanization began to reduce employment
opportunities in farming. During and
after World War II, nonfarm employment opportunities grew rapidly, and
workers shifted from farm to nonfarm

employment.2 The reallocation of
farm workers had the effect of raising
the incomes of persons who remained
in farming, as well as of persons who
shifted to higher paying employment
in other industries.
The trend toward more uniform
ratios of employment to working-age
population (factor 4) also was, in part,
a result of the reallocation of farm
workers. In the 1950's and 1960's, in
the low-income regions, the growth of
nonfarm employment opportunities
was not sufficient to absorb fully the
redundant farm workers and new entrants to the labor force. Work-force
outmigration from the low- to the
high-income regions resulted, and regional ratios of employment to working-age population—which had been
below the average in the low-income
regions and above the average in
the high-income regions—converged
toward the national average. In the
1970's, in contrast, regional ratios of
employment to working-age population diverged from the national average. Nonfarm employment opportunities grew much more rapidly in the
low- than in the high-income regions,
and substantial numbers of workers
migrated to the low-income regions.
Work-force inmigration to the lowincome regions did not fully offset the
rapid growth in nonfarm employment
opportunities, and the ratio of employment to working-age population
rose above the national average for
the first time. Conversely, work-force
outmigration from the high-income
regions did not fully offset the slow
growth or declines in nonfarm employment opportunities, and the ratio
of employment to working-age population fell below the national average.
For 1940-79 as a whole, the reduction of regional wage rate differentials
(factor 5) was small, and so was its
contribution to per capita income convergence.
Neoclassical
economic
theory would have predicted convergence. Inmigration to high-wage regions would put downward pressure
on wage rates; as labor reserves de-

clined in low-wage regions, upward
pressure would be put on wage rates
in order to hold workers.3
The persistence of regional wage
rate differentials can be reconciled
with this theory if it is recognized
that firms choose locations for differ-

ent reasons than workers do. In
choosing between two locations, firms
tend to locate where wage rates and
other costs, relative to selling prices,
are lower. Workers tend to locate
where wage rates, relative to the cost
of living, are higher. Studies have
shown that about two-thirds of the explained variation among regions in
wage rates reflects regional differ-

2. In 1940-79, farm employment as a percent of
total employment in the low-income regions declined
more than 25 percentage points. Two-fifths of the decline occurred in 1940-50. In 1940-50, regional differences in per capita personal income narrowed more
than in any other timespan, and the farm-nonfarm
employment shift was a major contributing factor. In
1950-79, regional differences in per capita income continued to narrow, but the farm-nonfarm shift appears
to have accounted for no more than one-fifth of the
narrowing.

ences in the cost of living, and about
one-third reflects regional differences
in work-force characteristics. Because
labor is an imperfectly mobile resource, insofar as migration entails
moving costs, the persistence of wage
rate differentials for homogeneous
labor largely reflects cost-of-living differentials and a premium associated
with moving costs. The two-track view
of location incentives helps explain (1)
why the growth of nonfarm employment opportunities was faster in the
low-income regions, with low wage
rates, than in the high-income regions, with high wage rates, and (2)
why some workers may have migrated from the high-income regions,
where high costs of living more than
offset the beneficial effects of high
wage rates, to the low-income regions,
where low costs of living more than
offset the adverse effects of low wage
rates.
In the 1940-79 timespan, 1973-79
was the only subperiod in which the
reduction of regional wage rate differentials was a major contributor to the
narrowing of regional differences in
per capita personal income. The reduction of the differentials coincided
with regional convergence in relative
costs of living; in particular, housing
costs increased faster in the low- than
in the high-income regions.4
The reduction of regional wage rate
differentials also coincided with net
work-force migration from the highto the low-income regions. Migration
in the reverse direction apparently
was not a necessary condition for the
reduction of the differentials.5 The reductions in both wage rate and costof-living differentials, moreover, were
not inconsistent with net inmigration
to the low-income regions. As firms
responded to the rapid growth of
energy-related activity in the lowincome regions, they increased the
level of capital investment in these
4. Regional wage rate and cost-of-living differentials
are not independent of each other, insofar as wages
may account for a large fraction of the costs of production and distribution. This is particularly true for
housing and services, both of which tend to be consumed in the vicinities of their production.
5. See G. H. Borts, "The Equalization of Returns
and Regional Economic Growth," American Economic
Review, L (June 1960), pp. 319-47. In 1960, Borts found
that from 1919 to 1953, migration flows from low- to
high-wage regions had occurred but, apparently, the
flows had not been large enough to result in substantial interregional wage rate convergence; he concluded
that continued migration in the "right direction" was
a necessary, although not a sufficient, condition for
convergence.

regions and provided more high-wage
jobs, thereby tending to increase relative wage rates and to attract working migrants. The net inmigration of
workers led, in part, to the relative
increase in housing costs. This increase, in turn, may have been a
cause, as well as an effect, of the increase in relative wage rates.
If recent trends in the narrowing of
regional wage rate and cost-of-living
differentials were to continue, neoclassical theory, as elaborated by the
two-track view of location incentives
discussed above, would predict a slowing of differences in employment
growth. For long-run equilibrium
among regions, it is necessary that no
factor of production could be profitably relocated. Regional differentials
have narrowed in variable costs of
production and distribution other
than wage rates. As an example,
owing to Federal deregulation of
transportation, freight rates have
tended to become more uniform
among regions. The narrowing differentials would tend to result in reduced relative marginal efficiencies of
investment in those labor-intensive
industries that accounted for much of
the relative growth in employment in
the low-income regions during the
1940-79 timespan, and the rate of net
work-force inmigration to these regions would be expected to slow. Thus
far in the 1980's, data indicate such a
slow-down.6 Nevertheless, because it
is unlikely that all of the theoretical
conditions required for nonprofitability of factor relocation can be met, it
is not possible to predict the end of interregional migration of labor and industrial relocation of facilities.
The trend toward more regional
uniformity in transfer payments per
capita (factor 3), which consist mainly
of social security benefits, reflects
changes in social security coverage.
As the industrial coverage of the
social security system expanded and
as regional industrial mixes of employment became more uniform, regional differences in social security
benefits received, as well as personal
contributions for social insurance, per
capita narrowed. Migration of retirees
from high- to low-income regions also
contributed to the narrowing.
The trend toward more uniform regional distributions of personal divi-

dend, interest, and rental income per
capita (factor 2) suggests that regional
differences in wealth have narrowed;
this is consistent with the narrowing
of the other components of per capita
personal income noted above.

6. It should be noted, however, that in previous periods of recession, the migration rate also slowed.

Per Capita Income
Components
Estimates
Table 2 shows the components of
per capita personal income for 1929,
1940, 1950, 1959, 1969, 1973, and 1979.
Table 3 shows detailed breakdowns of
the components for 1940-50 and for
the four subsequent timespans. A detailed breakdown for 1929-40 was not
possible due to lack of data. For both
detailed breakdowns shown in table 3,
per capita personal income was
broken into labor and proprietors'
income (wages and salaries, other
labor income, and farm and nonfarm
proprietors' income) per capita and
other income components (personal
dividend, interest, and rental income,
transfer payments, less personal contributions for social insurance, plus
residence adjustment) per capita. In
the breakdown for the four most
recent timespans, labor and proprietors' income per capita was broken
into 10 subcomponents; such a breakdown for 1940-50 was not possible due
to lack of data.
The breakdown into the subcomponents of labor and proprietors'
income per capita permits the measurement of the contributions to the
narrowing of regional per capita
income differences that are due to
factors such as the mix of employment by industry and wage rates by
industry. Subcomponent 1, which is
expressed on a per employee/proprietor basis, is the wage and salary and
farm proprietors' income that would
have originated in a region if all wage
and salary employees in each industry in the region had been paid at the
national average rate in the corresponding industry and if all farm proprietors in the region had been paid
at the national average rate for farm
proprietors. When this subcomponent
is calculated for two or more regions,
the same national distribution of
wages and salaries per employee, by
industry, and of farm proprietors'
income per proprietor is multiplied by
each region's distribution of employment, by industry. Thus, regional dif-

ferences in this subcomponent reflect
regional differences in the distribution (mix) of employment among industries with varying wage rates nationally. The industrial mix of employment includes the number of
farm proprietors; in all regions, this
number is substantially larger than

the number of farm wage and salary
employees.
Subcomponent 2, which also is expressed on a per employee/proprietor
basis, is the ratio of the wage and
salary and farm proprietors' income
originating in a region to hypothetical
wage and salary and farm propri-

NOTE ON SOURCES.—The Regional Economic Measurement
Division (REMD) provided estimates from its Regional Economic Information System of: (1) total personal income, by component, and total population for 1940, 1950, 1959, 1969, 1973, and
1979, (2) labor and proprietors' income, by industry, for 1940
and 1950, (3) wages and salaries, by industry, for 1950, 1959,
1969, 1973, and 1979, and (4) wage and salary employment, by
industry, and the number of farm and nonfarm proprietors for
1969, 1973, and 1979. In addition, REMD prepared special
estimates of wage and salary employment, by industry, and
the number of farm and nonfarm proprietors for 1950 and
1959. The Regional Economic Analysis Division prepared estimates based on Census Bureau data of (1) population, by age
group, for 1940, 1950, 1959, 1969, 1973, and 1979, and (2) total
employment, by industry, for 1940 and 1950.

etors' income (subcomponent 1). When
subcomponent 2 is calculated, the region's industrial mix of employment
is multiplied by (1) the region's industrial distribution of wage and salary
and farm proprietors' income per employee/proprietor (for the numerator)
and (2) the corresponding national industrial distribution (for the denominator). Thus, this subcomponent reflects region/Nation differences in industrial wage rates, apart from those
due to region/Nation differences in
the industrial mix of employment.
Subcomponents 3 and 8 are the percents of total employment accounted
for by wage and salary employees and
farm proprietors and by nonfarm proprietors, respectively. Subcomponent
4, and also subcomponent 9, is the
percent of the working-age population
(ages 15-64) that is employed. Subcomponent 5, and also subcomponent
10, is the percent of the total population that is of working age. Subcomponent 7 is the earnings rate of nonfarm proprietors. For 1940-50, labor
and proprietors' income per capita is
broken into four subcomponents;
these measure the mix of employment
by industry, earnings rates by industry, the percent of the working-age
population that is employed, and the
percent of the total population that is
of working age.
Component contributions
Tables 4 and 5 show for 1940-50
and for the four most recent timespans, respectively, percent changes
in per capita personal income, by
component. For each region in each
timespan, these data provide the basis
for measuring the contribution of the
change in each component of per
capita income to the change relative
to the national average in total per
capita income. For each region in
table 4, the contributions can be
measured as follows: (1) Adjust each
subcomponent of labor and proprietors' income per capita (columns 2-5)
so that, when summed, they equal the
percent change in labor and proprietors' income per capita. This adjustment consists of multiplying a logarithmic factor for the subcomponent
by the percent change in labor and
proprietors' income per capita.7 (2)
7. In general terms, the factor is:
log (1 + rate of change in subcomponent)
log (1 + rate of change in labor and
proprietors' income per capita).

September

Multiply, i.e., weight, each adjusted
percent change from step 1 by the
share of total personal income in 1940
accounted for by labor and proprietors' income, and multiply the percent changes of the other income components per capita (columns 6, 7, and
8) by the shares of total personal
income in 1940 accounted for by personal dividend, interest, and rental
income, by transfer payments, and by
personal contributions for social insurance, respectively (see table 6). (3)

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

29

Subtract the corresponding national
percent change, which also has been
adjusted and/or weighted, from each
weighted percent change from step 2.
The contributions, that is, the percentage-point differences, which sum
to the region/Nation difference in the
percent change in total per capita
income, are shown in table 7.
For each region/timespan in table
5, the contributions can be measured
as follows: (1) Adjust each subcomponent of wages and salaries and farm

proprietors' income per capita (columns 2-6) and each subcomponent of
nonfarm proprietors' income per
capita (columns 5, 6, 8, and 9) so that,
when summed, they equal the percent
change in wages and salaries and
farm proprietors' income per capita
and the percent change in nonfarm
proprietors' income per capita, respectively. These adjustments consist of
multiplying logarithmic factors for
the subcomponents by the percent
change in wages and salaries and

farm proprietors' income per capita
and by the percent change in nonfarm proprietors' income per capita.8
(2) Multiply, i.e., weight, the adjusted
percent changes from step 1 by the
shares of total personal income in the
base year accounted for by wages and
salaries and farm proprietors' income
and by nonfarm proprietors' income,
respectively, and multiply the percent
changes of other labor income per
capita (column 7) and of the other
income components per capita (columns 10, 11, 12, and 13) by the shares
of total personal income in the base
year accounted for by other labor
income, by personal dividend, interest, and rental income, by transfer
payments, by personal contributions
for social insurance, and by the residence adjustment, respectively (see
table 6). (3) Subtract the corresponding national percent change, which
also has been adjusted and/or weighted, from each weighted percent
change from step 2. The contributions
are shown in table 8.
In the discussions of per capita
income growth patterns based on
these measures that follow, hypothetical wages and salaries per employee,
including farm proprietors (for the
four most recent timespans) and hypothetical labor and proprietors' income
per employee (for 1940-50) are referred to as the ' 'industrial mix component." The ratio of actual to hypothetical wages and salaries per employee, including farm proprietors (for
the four most recent timespans) and
the ratio of actual to hypothetical
labor and proprietors' income per employee (for 1940-50) are referred to as
the "adjusted (for region/Nation differences in industrial mix) wage rate
differential component." A brief discussion of the 1929-40 timespan, for
which lack of data precludes a detailed breakdown of the per capita
income components, also is included.

8. In general terms, the factors are:
log (1 + rate of change
in subcomponent)
log (1 + rate of change
in wages and salaries
and farm proprietors')
income per capita)
and
log (1 + rate of change
in subcomponent)
log (1 + rate of change
in nonfarm proprietors'
income per capita).

Per Capita Income Growth
Patterns
1929-40
Per capita personal income declined
in every region. It declined 3.8 percentage points less than nationally in
the low-income regions and 1.3 percentage points more than nationally
in the high-income regions. In the
low-income regions, below-average declines in the Southeast, Southwest,
and Rocky Mountain regions more
than offset an above-average decline
in the Plains. In the Southeast,
Southwest, and Rocky Mountain regions, below-average declines or little
change occurred in personal dividend,
interest, and rental income per
capita, in nonfarm proprietors'
income per capita, and, except in the
Rocky Mountain region, in wages and
salaries per capita. In the Plains,
wages and salaries per capita declined
at an above-average rate.
In the high-income regions, aboveaverage declines in per capita personal income in the Mideast and Great
Lakes regions more than offset belowaverage declines in the Far West and
New England. In the Mideast and
Great Lakes regions, above-average




declines occurred in wages and salaries per capita, in nonfarm proprietors' income per capita, and in personal dividend, interest, and rental
income per capita. In the Far West,
below-average declines occurred in
wages and salaries per capita and
nonfarm proprietors' income per
capita; and in New England, a belowaverage decline occurred in personal
dividend, interest, and rental income
per capita.
1940-50
Regional differences in per capita
personal income narrowed substantially more than in any other timespan. Per capita income increased
48.7 percentage points more than nationally in the low-income regions and
21.1 percentage points less than nationally in the high-income regions.
Each low-income region had an aboveaverage increase. Major contributing
factors were above-average increases
in the industrial mix component and
increases, except in the Rocky Mountain region, in the adjusted wage rate
differential component. The increase
in the industrial mix component reflected large shifts in employment
from farming, which was a relatively

31

low-paying industry nationally, to
manufacturing, trade, and the transportation group, which were relatively high-paying industries nationally.
Increases in the adjusted wage rate
differential reflected above-average
increases in wage rates in nearly
every industry. In the Rocky Mountain region, another major factor was
an increase that was larger than in
any other region in the percent of the
working-age population that was employed.
Each high-income region had a
below-average increase in per capita
personal income. Major contributing
factors were well-below average increases in the industrial mix component, except in the Great Lakes
region, and declines in the adjusted
wage rate differential component,
except in the Far West. In the Mideast and New England, the small increases in the industrial mix component reflected employment increases
that were smaller than in any other
region in the high-paying manufacturing, trade, and transportation-group
industries. In the Far West, the small
increase reflected an employment increase that was larger than in any
other region in services and government, which was a relatively lowpaying industry nationally. In the
Great Lakes region, the industrial
mix benefited during World War II
from the conversion of the motor vehicle industry to the production of
military durable goods and, after the
war, from strong catch-up demand for
consumers' durables. In the Mideast,
New England, and Great Lakes regions, declines in the adjusted wage
rate differential reflected below-average increases in wage rates in nearly
every industry.
1950-59
Per capita income increased 3.2 percentage points more than nationally
in the low-income regions and 2.3 percentage points less than nationally in
the high-income regions. In the lowincome regions, above-average increases in the Southeast and Southwest more than offset below-average
increases in the Plains and Rocky
Mountain regions. In the Southeast
and Southwest, a major factor contributing to the strength in per capita
income was an above-average increase
in the percent of the working-age population that was employed; employment increases were above average in
most nonfarm industries. Another

the industrial mix component. Declines in the adjusted wage rate differential component mainly reflected
large declines in the earnings rate of
farm proprietors; in contrast, this
income source increased or changed
little in all other regions. In the
Rocky Mountain region, the small increase in the industrial mix component reflected above-average increases
in employment in trade, services, and
government, which were relatively
low-paying industries nationally.

differential component mainly reflected a large increase in the earnings
rate of farm proprietors. In the Southwest, an above-average increase in
personal dividend, interest, and rental
income per capita reflected large increases in each of these three income
components. In the Plains and Rocky
Mountain regions, major factors in
the below-average increases in per
capita income were declines in the adjusted wage rate differential component and below-average increases in

major factor was a below-average decline in the percent of the total population that was of working age. The
postwar baby boom, which, in every
region, led to increases in the ratio of
pre-working-age to total population
and, conversely, to declines in the
ratio of working-age to total population, lowered the average age of the
population less in the Southeast than
in other regions. In the Southeast, an
increase that was larger than in any
other region in the adjusted wage rate

September

Each high-income region except
New England had a below-average increase in per capita personal income.
In the Mideast and Great Lakes regions, a major contributing factor was
a below-average change in the percent
of the working-age population that
was employed; employment declined
or increased at below-average rates in
nearly all industries. Another major
factor was an above-average decline
in the percent of the total population
that was of working age. In the Far
West, major factors were a decline
that was larger than in any other
region in the percent of total employment accounted for by nonfarm proprietors and an increase that was
smaller than in any other region in
transfer payments per capita. Weakness in transfer payments per capita
reflected a below-average increase in
the percent of the total population
aged 65 and over; this age group receives the bulk of social security and
other retirement payments, which account for the largest share of total
transfer payments. In New England,
major factors contributing to strength
in per capita income were an increase
in the adjusted wage rate differential
component and an above-average increase in the industrial mix component. The industrial mix benefited
from a large shift in employment
from nondurables (in particular, textiles) to durables manufacturing; the
shift was to the highest paying industry nationally.
1959-69

Regional differences in per capita
personal income narrowed more than
in any other timespan except 1940-50.
Per capita income increased 7.7 percentage points more than nationally
in the low-income regions and 4.1 percentage points less than nationally in
the high-income regions. In the lowincome regions, above-average increases in the Southeast and Plains
more than offset below-average increases in the Southwest and Rocky
Mountain regions. In the Southeast,
major factors contributing to the
strength in per capita income were
above-average increases in the percent of the working-age population
that was employed, the industrial mix
component, and transfer payments
per capita. The employment/workingage population ratio benefited from
above-average increases in employment in most industries; the industrial mix benefited from especially large




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
relative increases in employment in
manufacturing, construction, and the
transportation group, which were relatively high-paying industries nationally. Transfer payments per capita,
consisting mainly of retirement payments, benefited from an increase
that was larger than in any other
region in the percent of the total population aged 65 and over. In the
Plains, major factors were large increases in the industrial mix component, in the adjusted wage rate differential component, and in personal
dividend, interest, and rental income
per capita. The increase in the industrial mix component reflected a large
decline in employment in farming,
which was a relatively low-paying industry nationally, and below-average
increases in employment in the lowpaying trade, services, and government industries. The increases in the
other two components reflected aboveaverage increases in the earnings rate
of farm proprietors who remained in
the region and in farm-related rental
income per capita, respectively. In the
Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions, a major factor in the weakness
in per capita income was a decline in
the adjusted wage rate differential,
which reflected below-average increases in wage rates in most industries. In the Rocky Mountain region,
another major factor was a change
that was smaller than in any other
region in the employment/workingage population ratio, reflecting belowaverage increases in employment in
construction and private service-type
industries.
Each high-income region had a
below-average increase in per capita
personal income. In the Mideast and
New England, major contributing factors were below-average increases in
the industrial mix component and the
percent of the total population that
was of working age. The industrial
mix was adversely affected by especially small relative increases in employment in the high-paying manufacturing industry. The increases in the
ratio of working-age to total population were smaller than in any other
region. In New England and the Far
West, a major factor was a belowaverage increase in the percent of the
working-age population that was employed. In the Far West, other major
factors were a below-average increase
in the industrial mix component,
which reflected slumps in the highpaying aircraft and construction in-

33

dustries, and weakness in personal
dividend, interest, and rental income
per capita, which reflected increases
that were smaller than in any other
region in both interest income and
rental income per capita. In the Great
Lakes region, a major factor was a
below-average increase in transfer
payments per capita, which reflected
an especially small increase in the
percent of the total population aged
65 and over.
1969-73

Per capita personal income increased 7.1 percentage points more
than nationally in the low-income regions and 3.4 percentage points less
than nationally in the high-income regions. Each low-income region had an
above-average increase in per capita
income. A major contributing factor
was an above-average increase in the
industrial mix component. The industrial mix benefited from large increases in employment in manufacturing and, except in the Plains, in
construction and the transportation
group; each was a relatively highpaying industry nationally. In the
Southeast and Rocky Mountain regions, another major factor was an increase, compared with a decline nationally, in the percent of the working-age population that was employed. In the Plains, other major factors were increases that were larger
than in any other region in the adjusted wage rate differential component and in personal dividend, interest, and rental income per capita; the
increases mainly reflected an increase
in the earnings rate of farm proprietors to an unusually high level in
1973 and a large increase in farm-related rental income per capita. In the
Southwest, strength in personal dividend, interest, and rental income per
capita reflected above-average increases in each of these three income
components.
Each high-income region had a
below-average increase in per capita
personal income. Major contributing
factors were above-average declines in
the percent of the working-age population that was employed and belowaverage increases in the industrial
mix component. The employment/
working-age population ratio was adversely affected by declines or belowaverage increases in employment in
most industries; the industrial mix

was adversely affected by large declines or especially small relative increases in employment in the highpaying manufacturing, construction,
and transportation-group industries.
In the Far West, another major factor
was a decline that was larger than in
any other region in the adjusted wage
rate differential component; increases
in wage rates in nearly every industry were below average.
1973-79

In 1973-79, regional differences in
per capita personal income narrowed
less than in any other timespan,
mainly reflecting divergences from
the national average in the Plains
and Far West regions. In 1969-79, in
contrast, per capita income converged
toward the national average in the
Plains and Far West regions. In the
low-income Plains, strength in farming in the early 1970's more than
offset weakness in the late 1970's. In
the high-income Far West, weakness
in the aircraft industry in the early
1970's more than offset strength in
the late 1970's.
In 1973-79, per capita income increased 1.8 percentage points more
than nationally in the low-income regions and 0.4 percentage point less
than nationally in the high-income regions. Each low-income region except
the Plains had an above-average increase in per capita income. In the
Southeast and Southwest, major contributing factors were increases that
were larger than in any other region
in the adjusted wage rate differential
component; increases in wage rates in
nearly every industry were above
average. In the Southeast, in addition,
a major factor was an above-average
increase in transfer payments per
capita; the percent of the total population aged 65 and over increased
more than in any other region. In the
Southwest, in addition, and in the
Rocky Mountain region, major factors
were above-average increases in the
percent of the working-age population
that was employed, the industrial mix
component, and nonfarm proprietors'
income per capita. The employment/
working-age population ratio benefited from above-average increases in
employment in all industries; the industrial mix benefited from especially




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
large relative increases in employment in mining, construction, and
manufacturing, which were relatively
high-paying industries nationally. In
the Plains, major factors in the weakness in per capita income were a decline that was larger than in any
other region in the adjusted wage rate
differential component and an increase that was smaller than in any
other region in the industrial mix
component. The decline in the adjusted wage rate differential mainly reflected a decline in the earnings rate
of farm proprietors from the unusually high 1973 level.
In the high-income regions, belowaverage increases in per capita personal income in the Mideast and New
England more than offset an aboveaverage increase in the Far West and
no change in the Great Lakes region.
In the Mideast and New England, a
major factor contributing to the weakness in per capita income was a decline in the adjusted wage rate differential component; increases in wage
rates in nearly every industry were
below average. In the Mideast, another major factor was a below-average increase in the percent of the
working-age population that was employed; employment declined or had a
small increase in nearly every industry. In the Far West, major factors in
the strength in per capita income
were above-average increases in the
percent of the working-age population
that was employed and in the industrial mix component. The employment/working-age population ratio
benefited from above-average increases in employment in nearly
every industry; the industrial mix
benefited from especially large relative increases in employment in the
high-paying construction, manufacturing, and transportation-group industries. An increase in personal dividend, interest, and rental income per
capita was larger than in any other
region; an increase in rental income
per capita was especially large, in
part due to an above-average increase
in housing prices.

Plant and Equipment Expenditures,
the Four Quarters of 1982
NoNFARM business in the U.S.
plans to spend $323.7 billion for new
plant and equipment in 1982, 0.7 percent more than in 1981, according to
the BEA quarterly survey conducted
in late July
and August (table 1 and
chart 7).1 Spending totaled $321.5 billion in 1981, 8.7 percent more than in
1980.
The planned spending increase for
1982 is 1.5 percentage points lower
than the 2.2-percent increase reported
in June and 6.6 points lower than the
7.3-percent increase reported in
March. The latest downward revision
in 1982 programs is in the second half
of the year; it is widespread among
the various industries, but is largest
in manufacturing. Manufacturing industries revised planned spending
down by 2.4 percent—durable goods
by 2.7 percent and nondurables by 2.1
percent. Nonmanufacturing revised
planned spending down by 0.9 percent; all major nonmanufacturing industries reported downward revisions
except public utilities and air transportation.
The spending plans, after adjustment by BEA for price changes, indicate a decline of 4.4 percent from
1981 to 1982 (table 2).2 Real spending
in 1981 was unchanged from 1980.
BEA now estimates that the price de-

flator for capital goods will increase
5.5 percent in 1982. (Three months
ago the estimate was 4.8 percent; the
change in the estimated deflator resulted almost entirely from revisions
in the national income and product
accounts.) In 1981, the price deflator
increased 8.5 percent.
Capital spending in current dollars
declined 1.4 percent in the second
quarter of 1982, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $323.2 billion,

1. Plans have been adjusted for biases (table 7, footnote 1). The adjustments were made for each industry.
Before adjustment, plans for 1982 were $127.2 billion
for manufacturing and $196.3 billion for nonmanufacturing. The net effect of the adjustments was to lower
manufacturing $2.94 billion and to raise nonmanufacturing $3.18 billion.
2. Respondents to the quarterly survey are not
asked to report information on price changes reflected
in actual or planned spending figures. To estimate
real spending, the figures reported by survey respondents are adjusted using implicit price deflators developed by BEA based on unpublished data in the national income and product accounts. Real spending since
1977 has been reestimated based on deflators that reflect the revisions of the national income and product
accounts released in July. Real spending plans for
1982 are based on the assumption that plans for each
industry reflect price expectations equal to the average rate of change for that industry's deflator during
the latest four quarters for which it is available.

about the same as planned spending
reported 3 months ago; manufacturers
spent less than planned and nonmanufacturers spent more. Plans in the
latest survey indicate a 0.9-percent
decline in the third quarter and a 1.3percent increase in the fourth. In real
terms, spending declined 3.1 percent
in the second quarter; plans indicate
a 1.9-percent decline in the third
quarter and little change in the
fourth.
Other highlights of the survey are:
• The rate of capacity utilization in
manufacturing was 71 percent, 1 percentage point below the rates reported for March and December (table 3);
the June rate is 4 points below the recession low in March and June 1975
and is the lowest recorded since BEA
began its survey in 1965.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

• The value of new investment
projects started by manufacturers increased by $1.3 billion—or 4.7 percent—to $29.0 billion in the second
quarter, and starts by public utilities
totaled $6.0 billon compared with a
negative $4.3 billion in the first quarter (table 4).
• Spending in current dollars for
new plant in the second quarter declined 1.1 percent from the first quarter and spending for new equipment

declined 1.6 percent (table 5). Real
spending for plant declined 2.6 percent and real spending for equipment
declined 3.3 percent (table B).
The downward revision in spending
programs between the January-February and July-August surveys is the
sharpest cutback recorded in the
quarterly survey for a 6-month
period. Previously, the largest downward revision for a 6-month period—
4.1 percentage points—was in 1969.
The continued weakness in 1982
spending plans indicated by the latest
survey is consistent with other gages
of future investment activity and with
recent economic developments having
an influence on investment decisions.
Among the former, net new capital
appropriations in manufacturing declined 28 percent from the first quarter to the second, and new orders for
nondefense capital goods declined 5
percent; the proportion of manufacturers reporting a need for more capacity declined 2 points from March
to June (table 6). Indicators of continued sluggishness of the economy in
the second quarter include: the de-

cline in real final sales, the decline in
capacity utilization, the continued
poor performance of profits, and the
persistence of high long-term interest
rates on corporate debt. It is unlikely
that plans reported by business in the
latest survey would have reflected the
recent declines in short-term interest
rates.

Manufacturing Programs
Manufacturing industries' currentdollar spending in the second quarter

37

For the year 1982, manufacturers
plan a 2.0-percent decrease in current-dollar spending. Durable goods
industries plan a 3.8-percent decrease
and nondurable goods, a 0.3-percent
decrease. In durables, decreases are
planned by motor vehicles, nonferrous
metals, stone-clay-glass, fabricated
metals, aircraft, and "other durables";
increases are planned by iron and
steel, nonelectrical machinery, and
electrical machinery. In nondurables,
decreases are planned by textiles,
paper, food-beverage, and rubber; in-

fell 3.5 percent, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $123.8 billion, after
a 1.1-percent increase in the first
quarter. Plans are for small decreases
in the second half of 1982—0.5 percent in the third quarter and 0.2 percent in the fourth. Spending in both
durables and nondurables declined in
the second quarter—3.0 and 4.1 percent, respectively. In the third quarter, durables plan a 1.6-percent increase and nondurables, a 2.5-percent
decline; in the fourth quarter, nondurables plan a 1.6-percent increase
and durables, a 2.0-percent decline.

creases are planned by chemicals, petroleum, and "other nondurables."3
In real terms, manufacturers plan a
6.6-percent decline in 1982 spending;
the decline is 6.5 percent in durables
and 6.7 percent in nondurables. In
1981, manufacturers increased real
spending 1 percent.
Manufacturers started new investment projects during the second quarter of 1982 totaling $29.0 billion—$1.3
billion, or 4.7 percent, more than in
the first quarter. The second-quarter
increase was in durable goods industries, which reported an increase of
$1.6 billion; nondurable goods reported a decrease of $0.3 billion. The

1. Estimates are based on planned capital expenditures reported by business in late July and
August 1982. The planned expenditures for 1982 have been corrected for biases. The adjustment
procedures are described in the October 1980 SURVEY. Before adjustment, plans for 1982 were
$323.42 billion for total nonfarm business, $127.17 billion for manufacturing, and $196.25 billion
for nonmanufacturing.

ufacturers in the second quarter was
less than their capital expenditures,
resulting in a decrease in carryover.
Carryover totaled $87.5 billion at the
end of June, $1.9 billion less than at
the end of March.
Capacity utilization
The utilization of manufacturing
capacity was 71 percent in June; this
is 1 percentage point lower than the
rates in March and December, 4
points lower than the recession rates
in March and June 1975, and is the
lowest rate reported since the survey
was initiated in 1965.
The decline in the utilization rate
from March to June reflected sizable
offsetting changes for some industry
groups. Primary metals declined 9
points, to 52 percent. Stone-clay-glass
declined 6 points, to 62 percent, and
nonelectrical machinery declined 3
points, to 82 percent. Chemicals and
paper each declined 2 points, to 70
and 81 percent, respectively. Motor
vehicles increased 6 points, to 67 percent, and petroleum increased 5
points, to 75 percent. Rubber increased 4 points, to 76 percent, and
food-beverage increased 3 points, to 78
percent.
The utilization rate in June for advanced-processed goods industries rose
1 point, to 74 percent; the rate for primary-processed goods declined 4
points, to 66 percent.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

The rate for large firms (assets of
$100 million and over) declined 1
point, to 72 percent. Medium-sized
firms (assets of $10 million to $100
million) declined 2 points, to 72 percent, and small firms declined 1 point,
to 69 percent.
Manufacturing companies owning
23% percent of fixed assets reported a
need for more facilities as of the end
of June, 2 percentage points lower
than at the end of March; the decline
was centered in the primary metal
and food-beverage industries. Facilities viewed as adequate declined onehalf of 1 percentage point, to 53% percent, and those viewed as exceeding
needs increased 2% points, to 23 percent.

increases for air transportation and
"communication and other" are more
than offset by declines for railroads,
"other transportation," mining, gas
utilities, and trade and services. In
the fourth quarter, all industry
groups except trade and services contribute to the planned increase.
Planned current-dollar spending by
nonmanufacturing firms for the year
1982, $199.4 billion, is 2.4 percent
larger than in 1981; actual spending
increased 8.3 percent in 1981. The
largest increases this year are
planned by electric utilities, 8% percent, and railroads, 6% percent.
Smaller increases are planned by
"communication and other," air
transportation, and trade and services. Small decreases are planned by
mining, "other transportation," and
gas utilities.
In real terms, nonmanufacturing
industries plan a 3.1-percent decline
in spending for 1982. The largest decline is in mining, 12% percent; smaller declines are planned by "communication and other," transportation,
trade and services, and public utilities.
Investment projects started by
public utilities totaled $6.0 billion in
the second quarter, compared with a
negative $4.3 billion in the first quarter. Carryover of utility projects totaled $107.4 billion at the end of
June, $4.3 billion less than at the end
of March.

Nonmanufacturing Programs
Current-dollar spending by nonmanufacturing industries was at an
annual rate of $199.5 billion in the
second quarter; this rate is about the
same as in the first quarter and followed a 0.8-percent decline from the
fourth quarter to the first. Plans indicate a 1.2-percent decline in the third
quarter and a 2.2-percent increase in
the fourth. In the second quarter, increases in air transportation, electric
utilities, and railroads were offset by
declines in mining, "other transportation/' and "communication and
other." In the third quarter, planned

Capital Expenditures by Majority-owned Foreign Affiliates of
U.S. Companies, 1982 and 1983

MAJORITY-OWNED foreign affiliates of U.S. companies plan to increase capital expenditures less than
one-half of a percent, to $46.6 billion,
in 1983, following a planned 6-percent
increase this year. In 1981, spending
increased 3 percent (table 1 and chart
9).1 In each of the 3 years 1981-83,
spending in real terms would probably show a decline.
The slowdown in 1981-83 reflects
generally sluggish business conditions
abroad and high interest rates. Spending by manufacturing affiliates is expected to be depressed throughout the
period. Spending by petroleum affiliates is expected to be weak except in
1982, when a strong increase is largely for development of alternative
energy sources.
The slowdown follows record increases in 1979 and 1980, when affiliates in manufacturing significantly
expanded capacity in response to
strong demand abroad; affiliates manufacturing transportation equipment
had particularly strong increases. In
1980, petroleum spending also increased strongly, largely as a result of
intensified exploration for, and production of, petroleum following a
near-doubling of crude oil prices in

1. Capital expenditures estimates are for majorityowned nonbank foreign affiliates of nonbank U.S. parents. (An affiliate is majority owned when the combined ownership of all U.S. parents exceeds 50 percent.) Capital expenditures are expenditures that are
made to acquire, add to, or improve property, plant,
and equipment, and that are charged to capital accounts. They are on a gross basis; sales and other dispositions of fixed assets are not netted against them.
Capital expenditures are reported to BEA in current
dollars; they are not adjusted for price changes in host
countries or for changes in the value of foreign currencies, because the data needed for these adjustments
are unavailable.

1979 by members of the Organization
of Petroleum Exporting Countries.
In recent surveys, spending estimates have generally been revised
down. The latest estimate for 1982,
based on the BEA survey taken in
June 1982, is much lower than the estimate made 6 months earlier, which
indicated expenditures would increase
11 percent. Although estimates for
every industry were revised down,
most of the revision was in petroleum
and in chemical manufacturing. For
1981, the latest estimate is also lower
than the earlier one; most of the revision was in petroleum.
Manufacturing affiliates plan to increase spending 2 percent, to $19.5
billion, in 1983; no change in spending
is planned this year. Affiliates in
trade plan a 7-percent increase, to
$4.5 billion, following a 2-percent decline. In contrast to these increases,
petroleum affiliates plan a 3-percent
decline, to $18.6 billion, following a
21-percent increase.
By area, affiliates in developed
countries plan a 2-percent spending
increase, to $33.1 billion, in 1983, following a 4-percent increase. In developing countries, a 1-percent decline,
to $12.4 billion, is planned, following
a 12-percent increase. Affiliates in
"international"—those that have operations spanning more than one
country and that are engaged in petroleum shipping, other water transportation, petroleum trading, or operating oil and gas drilling equipment
that is moved from country to country during the year—plan a 16-percent decline, to $1.1 billion, compared
with a 3-percent decline last year.

Petroleum affiliates plan to reduce
spending 3 percent, to $18.6 billion, in
1983, following a planned 21-percent
increase this year. This will be the

first decline in petroleum expenditures since 1960. The decline reflects
several factors, including weak worldwide industrial activity, continued
energy conservation and substitution,
and oil refining capacity in excess of
projected needs. Also, some petroleum
companies may be shifting some
spending from abroad to the United
States; the U.S. Government has
sought to encourage domestic spending, partly by granting exploration
and production rights in previously
restricted territories and partly by decontrolling the domestic price of oil,
in order to reduce U.S. dependence on
foreign oil.
The strong spending increase this
year largely reflects increased spending by petroleum affiliates to develop
alternative energy sources. Increases
in Colombia and Australia are largely
for extracting coal; in Germany and
the Netherlands, the increases are
partly for constructing facilities that
convert coal into coke.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

43

Smaller spending increases, or
shifts to spending declines, are expected in every geographic area in which
there is sizable petroleum investment.
In developed countries, affiliates plan
to reduce spending 5 percent, to $11.2
billion, after a 20-percent increase in
1982 (tables 2-4). Canadian affiliates
plan to lower spending slightly, after
a 26-percent increase this year. The
decline is largely attributable to an
affiliate that, in mid-1982, indefinitely
postponed participation in an oil
sands project; partly offsetting are
spending increases on several upstream and downstream projects by
other affiliates.2 Spending by Canadian affiliates in each of the years
1981-83 would have been higher if
U.S. companies had not sold several
large oil and gas properties in 1981.

These sales were partly in response to
anticipated and actual changes in Canadian energy policies. One objective
of these policies is to increase Canadian participation in the petroleum industry. By providing preferential
treatment of locally owned or controlled companies in, for example, the
granting of exploration subsidies and
production rights, these policies have
tended to make petroleum properties
in Canada more valuable to local
than to U.S. (and other non-Canadian)
investors.
In the North Sea area, British affiliates plan to reduce spending 13

development of offshore oil and gas
fields.
In several other areas of Europe,
where affiliates are engaged primarily in refining and distribution, reductions in spending are planned in 1983;
the reductions follow several years of
strong increases. Following a more
than doubling of expenditures this
year, expenditures by Netherlands affiliates are to decline 8 percent. The
decline largely reflects completion of
several projects in 1982, including development of a new gasfield and construction of a facility that converts
coal into coke. Following a planned
76-percent increase this year, German
affiliates plan to reduce spending 13
percent. This year's increase is primarily for upgrading and expanding
several refineries; these projects are
expected to be completed in 1982.
After 3 years of strong increases,
Australian affiliates plan virtually no
change in spending next year. The increase in 1982 is for the development
of a new coal operation by a petroleum affiliate and significantly expanded exploratory drilling.
In developing countries, affiliates
plan a 4-percent increase, to $6.5 billion, after a 24-percent increase this
year. The increase next year is centered in "other Asia and Pacific"—
particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia, where offshore oil and gas fields
are being developed.
In "other Africa," spending is expected to remain at this year's level
of $1.8 billion, as increases in some
areas offset decreases in others. A 26percent increase, to $0.8 billion, is expected next year in Saharan Africa,
primarily in Libya and Tunisia. In
Libya, the increase is mainly for exploration and development; expenditures declined in 1982, largely because several affiliates ended operations there in response to growing
political tensions between Libya and
the United States. In Sub-Saharan
Africa, spending is to decline 13 percent, to $1.0 billion; the decline is centered in Cameroon, where development of a newly discovered oilfield
will be completed this year.
Affiliates in "international" plan to
cut spending 19 percent, to $0.9 billion, in 1983, following a 20-percent
increase. The decline reflects reduced
spending on tankers, which, in turn,
reflects the slowing of petroleum shipments in response to sluggishness in
worldwide business activity.




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Manufacturing
Manufacturing affiliates plan to increase spending 2 percent, to $19.5
billion, following no change this year.
Small or moderate increases are
planned in all industries within manufacturing
except
transportation
equipment, in which spending is to
decline.
Much of next year's increase is accounted for by affiliates in nonlectrical machinery; their expenditures are
expected to increase 10 percent, to
$5.6 billion, following a slight decline
this year. Nearly all of the increase is
by affiliates manufacturing computers.
Affiliates in primary and fabricated
metals plan a 9-percent spending increase, to $1.2 billion, following a 37percent increase this year; an expansion project undertaken by a bauxite
mining and aluminum manufacturing
affiliate in Brazil largely accounts for
increases in both years. Affiliates in
electric and electronic equipment and
"other manufacturing" each plan 6percent increases, compared with increases of 8 and 13 percent, respectively, this year. Affiliates in chemicals plan a 3-percent increase, to $3.3
billion, following a 9-percent increase.
In food products, affiliates plan a
small increase, to $1.5 billion, following a 7-percent increase.
In contrast, spending by affiliates
in transportation equipment is expected to decline 14 percent, to $3.5 billion, in 1983; a 22-percent decline in
spending is planned this year. Both
declines partly reflect completion of
new facilities in the preceding year
and deferral of nonessential spending
due to the current weak worldwide
demand for autos.
In developed countries, manufacturing affiliates plan a 5-percent increase, to $15.8 billion, following a 3percent decline in 1982. Canadian affiliates plan to increase spending 17
percent, to $3.9 billion, compared with
a 12-percent spending decline this
year. Although increases are planned
in every industry within manufacturing, the largest is in "other manufacturing"; it is mainly for plant expansion by a paper manufacturer.
In Europe, German affiliates plan a
13-percent increase in spending, to
$2.8 billion, following a 7-percent decline this year. Most of the increase is
in nonelectrical machinery, and is
largely for increased capitalization of

47
computers for rental. French affiliates
plan a 10-percent increase, to $1.4 billion; a small decline in food products
is more than offset by increases in
every other industry within manufacturing. The 5-percent increase by
British affiliates, to $2.9 billion, is
centered in "other manufacturing"; it
reflects increased leasing of copiers.
In "other Europe," affiliates plan to
cut spending 44 percent, to $0.8 billion, following a 5-percent decline this
year. Over three-fourths of next
year's cutback is in transportation
equipment, primarily in Spain and
Austria; it reflects the completion of
new facilities in 1982.
In developing countries, affiliates
plan to cut spending 9 percent, to $3.7
billion, following an 8-percent increase this year. The largest declines,
which are in Mexico and Singapore,
result from completion of expansion
projects in 1982. In Mexico, the decline is largely accounted for by tire
and photographic equipment manufacturers; in Singapore, it is largely
accounted for by a petrochemical affiliate.
Other industries
Mining affiliates plan to cut spending 9 percent, to $0.9 billion, following
a 26-percent decline this year. The cut
is centered in Canada, where development of several large potash mines is
expected to be completed by mid-1983.
Trade affiliates plan a 7-percent
rise, to $4.5 billion, following a 2-percent cut. The rise is mainly in several
European countries, Canada, and Australia, and is largely accounted for by
affiliates that market computers.
Spending by affiliates in finance
(except banking), insurance, and real
estate is to remain at $0.3 billion next
year; this reflects small offsetting increases and decreases among several
geographic areas.
Affiliates in "other industries"—-agriculture, construction, transportation, communication, public utilities,
and other services—plan a 3-percent
increase, to $2.8 billion, after a 7-percent spending decline this year. The
largest increases are in Hong Kong,
largely for construction of an electric
power plant, and Canada, largely for
modernization of a telecommunications system. Partly offsetting is a decline in Saudi Arabia, where a new
affiliate performing city sanitation
services plans to make sizable expenditures in 1982, but not in 1983.

U,S, International Transactions, Second Quarter 1982
1 HE U.S. current-account surplus
increased $1.0 billion to $2.1 billion in
the second quarter, largely due to a
rise in net receipts of income on portfolio investment. Continued increases
in U.S. bank claims on foreigners, together with high U.S. interest rates,
resulted in a sharp increase in portfolio income receipts; income payments
showed a smaller increase.
The merchandise trade deficit decreased $0.1 billion to $5.8 billion.
In the private capital accounts,
both U.S. bank claims and liabilities
remained at high levels, reflecting activities of International Banking
Facilities (IBF's) and the ongoing
transfer of U.S. banks' international
lending and borrowing from offshore
branches to their IBF's. Among other
private capital accounts, U.S. corporations used their finance affiliates in
the Netherlands Antilles and elsewhere to raise substantial funds in
the Eurobond market, resulting in
large net intercompany account inflows for U.S. direct investment
abroad. Inflows for foreign direct investment in the United States in-

The U.S. dollar in exchange markets
The dollar appreciated 4 percent in
the second quarter on a trade-weighted basis against the currencies of 10
industrial and 22 OECD countries
(chart 10). The appreciation reflected
continued high interest rates in the
United States and political disturbances abroad, especially in the
Middle East and in Latin America.
Fluctuations in the dollar's exchange value during the quarter generally paralleled those of U.S. shortterm interest rates. Following a
strong rise in interest rates and the
dollar from January through April,
interest rates and the dollar dipped in
May, with the dollar down as much as
5 percent against some major currencies. Interest rates rose again in late
May and June because of renewed
concerns about the size of Government borrowing, possible increases in
the money supply because of July tax
cuts, and strong commercial borrowing. Concurrently, the dollar appreciated nearly 9 percent. At the end of
the quarter, the dollar was at postWorld War II highs against the Ital-

creased strongly. Net U.S. purchases
of foreign securities changed little, as
high interest rates discouraged new
foreign bond issues in the United
States. Net foreign purchases of U.S.
securities increased, largely due to
purchases of outstanding high-yield
U.S. corporate bonds.
In the official capital accounts, foreign official assets in the United
States shifted to an increase, as industrial countries' dollar sales slowed,
and dollar holdings of a few OPEC
members and other developing countries increased.
The statistical discrepancy (errors
and omissions in reported transactions) was an inflow of $1.4 billion.
(The first-quarter discrepancy has
been changed to an inflow of $5.0 billion, compared with a preliminary estimate of $11.2 billion, largely because
previously unavailable data indicated
a large reduction in claims on unaffiliated foreigners by U.S. nonbanking
concerns, table 1-2, lines 52 and 53.
This account consists largely of deposits and commercial credits.)

ian lira, the French and Belgian
francs, and the Canadian dollar.
The strength of the dollar may
have contributed to strains among
currencies within the European Monetary System (EMS), but inflation differentials between member countries
and divergent fiscal policies were
probably more important. The EMS
realigned its central rates in midJune, devaluing the French franc and
Italian lira and revaluing the German
mark and Dutch guilder. The United
States intervened on a small scale to
support the realignment. The Canadian dollar was under selling pressure
throughout the quarter despite a significant increase in Canadian interest
rates and heavy official intervention
by Canadian authorities. Heavy selling pressure on the Mexican peso reflected growing market sentiment of
more troubles ahead for the peso.

Merchandise trade
The merchandise trade deficit decreased in the second quarter, to $5.8
billion from $5.9 billion in the first.
Petroleum imports decreased $2.2 billion, more than offsetting a $1.5 billion increase in nonpetroleum imports. Exports decreased $0.7 billion,
as nonagricultural exports declined
for the fourth consecutive quarter.
Imports decreased $0.8 billion, or 1
percent, to $60.9 billion. The decrease
was more than accounted for by lower
prices; volume increased 3 percent.
Petroleum and products imports decreased $2.2 billion, or 14 percent, to
$13.4 billion. The average price per
barrel declined 5 percent to $30.53
from $32.17, continuing a year-long
downtrend. The average number of
barrels imported daily declined to
4.82 million from 5.33 million, the
lowest level since the second quarter

of 1972. The drop in imports was reflected in a large decrease in inventories.
Nonpetroleum imports increased
$1.5 billion, or 3 percent, to $47.3 billion; volume increased 4 percent.
Automotive imports increased $1.3
billion, or 17 percent, to a record $8.9
billion. Volume increased 24 percent
to a level slightly higher than the
previous peak in the fourth quarter of
1978. The increase was primarily due
to a $1.1 billion, or 41 percent, increase to $3.8 billion in imports from
Canada. The increase in parts imports
followed the opening in Canada of a
major facility to produce engines for
U.S. assembly plants. This arrangement departs from the traditional
pattern of exporting parts to Canada
for assembly into complete automobiles for subsequent shipment to
the United States. Automotive imports from other areas rose slightly,

also reaching a record value. Japanese imports increased.
Nonpetroleum industrial supplies
and materials imports decreased $0.8
billion to $13.4 billion. The decrease
was concentrated in iron and steel
products and in steelmaking materials, down $0.9 billion in total. Iron
and steel import volume has declined
moderately in each of the past three
quarters due to the recession, but the
import share of total supply has remained close to historical highs of
about 23 percent because of a sharp
drop in domestic shipments (chart 11).
Imports may also have been discouraged when the domestic steel industry
filed a series of antidumping complaints in the first quarter that
charged that imports were being sold
at less than fair value because of foreign subsidies. An International
Trade Commission ruling in June

found violations by a number of companies in Europe, South Africa, and
Brazil and required that importers
post cash bonds equivalent to the estimated underpricing. Penalties averaged 20-25 percent of f.o.b. value and
ranged up to 40 percent; about 20 percent of steel imports was involved.
Among other imports, foods, feeds,
and beverages increased $0.6 billion
to $4.3 billion. Increases in this category were widespread; the exception
was sugar, which fell $0.1 billion,
largely because of the imposition of
import quotas in mid-May. Capital
goods increased $0.3 billion to $9.1 billion; electrical machinery and business machines each increased over
$0.1 billion. Consumer goods decreased $0.6 billion to $9.5 billion, due
to a decline in durables.
With the exception of capital goods,
import prices, as measured by the

Census Bureau's unit value indexes,
declined moderately for all major
commodity groups, primarily reflecting appreciation of the dollar.
Exports decreased $0.7 billion, or 1
percent, to $55.1 billion; volume increased 1 percent. Agricultural exports increased $0.2 billion to $10.7
billion. Increased exports of soybeans
and feed grains offset lower wheat
shipments to Eastern Europe. Prices
of most major commodity groups declined, but more slowly than in the
first quarter.
Nonagricultural exports decreased
$0.8 billion, or 2 percent, to $44.4 billion, reflecting price declines in all
major categories; volume was unchanged. Nonagricultural industrial
supplies and materials decreased $0.9
billion, or 6 percent, to $14.5 billion.

removal of export controls in October,
fell $0.3 billion, or 19 percent, to $1.5
billion; metallurgical coal exports fell
$0.4 billion, or 25 percent, reflecting a
general glut in the market because of
the decline in steel production. Capital equipment exports were unchanged but included substantial offsetting changes in components. Automotive exports increased slightly to
$4.2 billion; exports to Canada continued to recover somewhat after the
weak fourth quarter, and those to the
rest of the world slowed. Consumer
goods increased $0.2 billion to $3.8 billion, primarily in nondurables.
Over the past six quarters, the merchandise trade balance has deteriorated steadily with four areas: Canada,
Latin America and Other Western
Hemisphere, Western Europe, and
Japan (table D, table 3B). Nonagricultural exports to Canada, to the rest of
the Western Hemisphere, and to
Western Europe declined because of
recession abroad and the appreciation
of the dollar; agricultural exports to
Canada, the rest of the Western
Hemisphere, and Japan also weakened steadily. Nonpetroleum imports
from all four areas increased strongly
in the last half of 1981, but leveled off
or decreased in the first half of this
year. In contrast, the balance with
Eastern Europe has moved with
changes in agricultural exports,
which declined in the last half of 1981
and recovered strongly in the first
half of 1982. The sharp improvement
in the balance with all other areas
was concentrated with OPEC members, almost entirely due to the large
decline in petroleum imports and a
slight increase in exports.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Receipts of income on other private
investment increased strongly, up
$1.7 billion to $15.8 billion, reflecting
high U.S. interest rates and large increases in U.S. bank claims on foreigners over the past three quarters.
Payments also showed a strong increase, up $1.0 billion to $9.2 billion.
U.S. Government income receipts and
payments each declined $0.1 billion,
to $1.0 billion and $4.4 billion, respectively.
Net travel receipts shifted to a $0.5
billion deficit from near balance in
the first quarter. Receipts were $2.7
billion, down from $3.2 billion, due to
a decline in travel from Mexico after
the February devaluation. Expenditures were unchanged.
Passenger fare receipts were unCHART 11 changed at $0.8 billion; payments declined $0.1 billion to $1.2 billion,
partly due to a drop in the number of
passengers on foreign carriers traveling to the United Kingdom and Latin
America.
Other transportation receipts were
unchanged at $3.0 billion; payments
increased $0.1 billion to $2.7 billion.
Transfers under U.S. military
agency sales contracts were $3.4 billion, up $0.4 billion, mostly due to deliveries of armored vehicles to the
Middle East and increased construction receipts. Shipments of aircraft
and ships were reduced. Direct defense expenditures abroad were $3.0
billion, up $0.2 billion, largely due to
increased payments to NATO and foreign personnel expenditures. Unilateral transfers decreased $0.3 billion to
$1.7 billion, as U.S. Government
grants fell from a high first-quarter
level.
Billion $

fleeted stagnant demand and price
weakness. By area, income was higher
in Latin America, following capital
losses in Mexico in the first quarter
related to the devaluation of the peso,
and in Canada, probably because of
increased production of automobiles
and parts. Income elsewhere was generally weaker, especially in the developed countries. Despite lower earnings and negative reinvested earnings, petroleum affiliates in Western
Europe paid sharply higher dividends.
Payments of income on foreign
direct investment in the United
States increased $0.1 billion to $1.5
billion. Income increased for petroleum affiliates and finance and trade
affiliates.

U.S. assets abroad
U.S. official reserve assets increased
$1.1 billion, about the same as in the
first quarter. Acquisitions of special
drawing rights (SDR's) and the increase in the U.S. reserve position
with the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) together accounted for
$0.9 billion of the increase. Both reflected continued heavy use of the
dollar in IMF transactions. Transactions in foreign currencies included
an official swap acquisition of $0.6 billion in Mexican pesos, which was
repaid during the quarter; another
$0.2 billion swap acquisition of pesos,

which remained outstanding; and a
$0.4 billion equivalent German mark
note redemption.
U.S. claims on foreigners reported
by U.S. banks increased $33.9 billion,
compared with $32.7 billion in the
first quarter. U.S. bank claims for
their own account increased substantially. Ample bank reserves and increased deposits at IBF's provided
substantial funds for U.S. banks to
meet an increase in international
Loan demand.
Since the establishment of IBF's in
December, U.S. banks have recorded
sharply increased direct lending and
borrowing in the Eurodollar market;
lending to (claims on) unaffiliated foreign banks in each of the last three
quarters was more than twice as high
as in any quarter prior to the establishment of IBF's, and lending to nonbank foreigners was also substantially
higher. Much of this activity apparently represented a shift in some business from U.S. banks' foreign
branches (especially those in offshore

banking centers and London) to
parent banks' IBF's. U.S. banks' own
claims on unaffiliated foreigners
abroad increased $21.3 billion and
$24.3 billion in the first two quarters
of 1982, respectively. In contrast, foreign branches of U.S. banks reduced
their claims on unaffiliated foreigners
by $9.4 and $12.8 billion in the same
periods. A similar pattern can be seen
in liabilities where U.S. banks' liabilities to unaffiliated foreigners were
up $14.4 billion and $13.5 billion in
the first and second quarters, respectively, while liabilities to unaffiliated
foreigners of foreign branches of U.S.
banks declined $8.5 billion and $11.1
billion.
In contrast to a large increase in
the first quarter, banks' custody
claims—largely Eurodollar certificates of deposit (CD's) held for accounts of U.S. money market mutual
funds—declined. The decline may
have reflected perceptions of greater
risk in Eurodollar CD's due to unsettled international financial conditions.

U.S. direct investment abroad shifted to an inflow of $2.4 billion from an
outflow of $0.1 billion, as U.S. corporations relied on foreign affiliates to
obtain funds abroad to meet domestic
financial requirements. For the
fourth consecutive quarter, there
were heavy intercompany account inflows of funds raised in the Eurobond
market by Netherlands Antilles finance affiliates (table E). There were
similar inflows from affiliates in
Western Europe. Outflows to petroleum affiliates remained high, especially to the United Kingdom. Reinvested earnings increased $0.4 billion
to $1.2 billion.
Net U.S. purchases of foreign securities were $0.4 billion, down from
$0.5 billion. New foreign bond issues
in the United States declined $0.6 billion to $0.8 billion; Canadian issues
fell to $0.2 billion from $1.3 billion, as
borrowers shifted to the less expensive Eurobond market. The only other
new issues were those of the World
Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, and of Israel. Net U.S.
purchases of foreign stocks were $0.1
billion, compared with net sales of
$0.4 billion in the first quarter, as
weak economic conditions abroad continued to discourage investment in
foreign stocks.

Foreign official assets in the United
States increased $1.9 billion, compared with a decline of $3.1 billion.
Assets of industrial countries declined
less than in the first quarter when
foreign official intervention in exchange markets was heavy. Assets of
OPEC members increased at a slower
rate than in the first quarter, reflecting lower petroleum revenues; most of
the increase was from Venezuela.
Assets of other developing countries
increased $0.9 billion, compared with
a $1.3 billion decline.
U.S. liabilities to private foreigners
and international financial institutions reported by banks increased
$24.1 billion, compared with $26.7 billion. Liabilities to affiliated foreign offices increased $7.9 billion, primarily
to U.S. branches in the United Kingdom. Since the establishment of IBF's

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS

Footnotes to U.S. International Transactions Tables 1-10
General notes for all tables:
r
Revised.
"Preliminary.
*Less than $500,000 (±).
n.a. Not available.
Table 1-2:
1. Credits, + : exports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to United States; capital inflows (increase in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or decrease in U.S. assets); decrease in U.S. official reserve assets.
Debits, —: imports of goods and services; unilateral transfers to foreigners; capital outflows (decrease in foreign assets (U.S. liabilities) or increase in U.S. assets); increase in U.S. official reserve assets.
2. Excludes transfers of goods and services under U.S. military grant programs (see line 16).
3. Excludes exports of goods under U.S. military agency sales contracts identified in Census
export documents, excludes imports of goods under direct defense expenditures identified in
Census import documents, and reflects various other adjustments (for valuation, coverage, and
timing) of Census statistics to balance of payments basis; see table 3.
4. For all areas, amounts outstanding June 30, 1982, were as follows in millions of dollars: line
38, 30,671; line 39, 11,149; line 40, 4,461; line 41, 6,062; line 42, 8,999.
5. Includes sales of foreign obligations to foreigners.
6. Consists of bills, certificates, marketable bonds and notes, and nonmarketable convertible
and nonconvertible bonds and notes.
7. Consists of U.S. Treasury and Export-Import Bank obligations, not included elsewhere, and
of debt securities of U.S. Government corporations and agencies.
8. Includes, primarily, U.S. Government liabilities associated with military sales contracts and
other transactions arranged with or through foreign official agencies; see table 4.
9. Consists of investments in U.S. corporate stocks and in debt securities of private corporations
and State and local governments.
10. Beginning with estimates for the second quarter of 1978, the distinction between short- and
long-term liabilities is discontinued.
11. Conceptually, the sum of lines 79 and 74 is equal to "net foreign investment" in the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA's). However, the foreign transactions account in the
NIPA's (a) includes adjustments to the international transactions accounts for the treatment of
gold, (b) 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 1973-1V, 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's 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" 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.
14. Includes foreign currency denominated notes sold to private residents abroad. See table 9,
line 35, footnote 7.

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 for 1981. In 1982, imports reflect f.a.s. Customs values. 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 inland freight on U.S. merchandise imports from Canada; 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 trade with international organizations, namely, purchases of nonmonetary gold from the IMF and transfers of tin to the International Tin Council
(ITC), 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, the IMF and the ITC.
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 $1,842 million in 1981, has
been largely corrected in line C24.
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, section




4, 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.
3. The identification of transactions involving direct dollar outflows from the United States is
made in reports by each operating agency.
4. Line A33 includes foreign currency collected as interest, and lines A38 and B2 include foreign currency collected as principal, as recorded in lines A13 and A14 respectively.
5. Includes (a) advance payments to the Department of Defense (on military sales contracts)
financed by loans extended to foreigners by U.S. Government agencies and (b) the contraentry for
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.
7. Receipt on short-term Commodity Credit Corporation asset financing U.S. merchandise
export.

2. Sales and liquidations of capital stock and other equity holdings, total and partial.
3. Petroleum includes the exploration, development and production of crude oil and gas and the
transportation, refining, and marketing of petroleum products exclusive of petrochemicals. Manufacturing excludes petroleum refining. "Other" industries includes mining; trade; banking; finance (except banking), insurance, and real estate; agriculture, forestry, and fishing; construction; transportation, communication, and public utilities; and services.
Table 6:
1. As published in Treasury Bulletin. Treasury data are based on transactions by foreigners reported by banks and brokers in the United States; net 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.
3. Consists of International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), International
Development Association (IDA), International Finance Corporation (IFC), Asian Development
Bank (ADB), and Inter-American Development Bank (IDE).
4. Mainly reflects exclusion of investments by foreign official agencies in U.S. corporate stocks
and in debt securities of U.S. Government corporations and agencies, private corporations and
State and local governments. These investments are included in table 1, lines 60 and 63.
Table 7:
1. Amounts outstanding were reduced by an increase in the reporting exemption level from $2
million to $10 million, effective March 31. Capital flows omit this drop in reporting coverage.

in December, U.S. banks' foreign
branches have accepted more funds
from U.S. residents, much of which
was then lent to the parent banks'
IBF's (IBF's may not deal directly
with U.S. residents except their
parent banks and other IBF's).
Branch borrowing from U.S. residents
increased $10.5 billion in the first
quarter and $9.9 billion in the second;
branch claims on the United States
increased $12.2 billion and $7.7 billion, respectively, mainly on their
parent bank. Banks' own liabilities to
unaffiliated foreigners increased $13.3




SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
billion, as IBF's accepted deposits
mainly from Latin America (particularly Venezuela), the Caribbean, and
Europe.
Net foreign purchases of securities
other than U.S. Treasury securities
were $2.5 billion, compared with $1.4
billion, largely due to purchases of
U.S. corporate bonds. High U.S. interest rates spurred heavy purchases
from Western Europe, especially Germany. Foreign purchases of U.S.
stocks increased $0.1 billion to $0.8
billion, with continued large purchases from the United Kingdom.

September

Foreign direct investment in the
United States increased to $2.7 billion
from $1.2 billion, but remained below
the unusually high quarterly inflows
in 1981. The increase was more than
accounted for by equity and intercompany account inflows. There was a
shift to small inflows from Canada, in
contrast to large outflows in the first
quarter associated with a special
transaction. Inflows from Japan increased; inflows from Western Europe
decreased, especially from the United
Kingdom. Reinvested earnings were
unchanged at $0.5 billion.

1. M l-A has been discontinued. M1 -B will now be designated "M1."
t Effective Feb. 1982 SURVEY, the money stock measures and components have been revised
back to 1959. 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 date 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.—This measure is currency plus demand deposits at commercial banks and 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.
M2.—This measure adds to Ml 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.
H 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.

SELECTED DATA ON
U.S. DIRECT

INVESTMENT
ABROAD, 1950-76
A new publication by the Bureau of Economic Analysis provides historical estimates
on U.S. direct investment abroad for the years 1950-76. The publication, Selected
Data on U.S. Direct Investment Abroad, 1950-76, provides estimates for selected
countries crossclassified by summary industries. Two hundred tables contain estimates for U.S. direct investment position abroad; equity and intercompany account
outflows; reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates; interest, dividends, and earnings
of unincorporated affiliates; income; earnings; fees and royalties; and royalties and
license fees. For all of the items, other tables show estimates for 1966-76 for every
country in which there is investment; these detailed country estimates are not
crossclassified by industry.
