the BUSINESS SITUATION
LEVISED (45-day) estimates showthat real GNP increased 4 percent at anannual rate in the fourth quarter of1980,1 percentage point less than in thepreliminary (15-day) estimates (table1). The downward revision was morethan accounted for by a larger estimateof the decumulation of business inven-tories. Among the components of finalsales, there were upward revisions inpersonal consumption expenditures(mostly nondurable goods), nonresiden-tial fixed investment, and residential in-vestment, and downward revisions innet exports (mostly in goods, downwardin exports and upward in imports) andgovernment purchases. The increase inGNP prices as measured by the fixed-weighted price index was revised downone-half percentage point to 10 percent.

Table 5.8-5.9:
1. The inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) shown in this table differs from that whichadjusts 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 CensusBureau statistics. The mix differs from that underlying business income derived from statisticstabulated by the Internal Revenue Service and other sources.Table 5.10-5.11:
1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventoriescalculated from current-dollar inventories in this table is not the current-dollar change inbusiness inventories (CBI) component of ON P. The former is the difference between twoinventory stocks, each valued at their respective end-of-quarter prices. The latter is the changein the physical volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. In addition,changes calculated from this table are at quarterly rates, whereas CBI is stated at annual rates.Quarter-to-quarter changes calculated irom the constant dollar inventories shown in thistable are at quarterly rates, whereas the constant-dollar change in business inventories com-ponent of GNP is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates.3. Business final sales equals final sales less gross product of households and institutions,
government, and rest-of-the-world.4. Business final sales include a small amount of final sales by farms.

Consumer Credit, 1960-80
V^ONSUMEE credit outstandingstood at almost $400 billion in 1980, anamount equal to about one-fifth of dis-posable personal income, and almost 30percent of total household credit out-standing. This article reviews the ma-jor statistical series on consumer credit.It focuses on trends since 1960 and oncyclical patterns during the period, withemphasis on developments in 1980.
Consumer credit consists of creditthat is extended to individuals throughregular business channels—preponder-antly commercial banks, finance com-panies, credit unions, and retailers—tofinance the purchase of consumer goodsand services, or to refinance debts in-curred for such purposes. Consumercredit excludes loans to individuals forbusiness purposes, policy loans of lifeinsurance companies, loans made by oneindividual to another, and loans madeby employers to their employees.
About four-fifths of consumer creditoutstanding consists of installmentcredit, which is defined as consumercredit that is scheduled to be repaid (orthat provides the option of repayment)in two or more payments. Publisheddata distinguish four components ofconsumer installment credit: automo-bile, revolving (mainly credit card),mobile home, and "other."* Noninstall-ment credit consists of consumer creditthat is scheduled to be repaid in a lumpsum; its main components are single-

Credit on gasoline credit cards used by indi-viduals has been defined as installment credit sincethe beginning of 1971; previously, it was definedas noninstallment credit. Although it increasedmore than 46 percent from December 1978 toDecember 1980, gasoline credit represented only1.5 percent of consumer installment credit out-standing in December 1980.

Trends since 1960
Consumer credit outstanding in-creased 541 percent, from $60.0 to $384.4billion, from the first quarter of 1960 tothe first quarter of 1980 (chart 1). Bycomparison, mortgage credit outstand-ing, the other component of total house-hold credit, increased 580 percent, from$128.9 to $876.5 billion, during the sameperiod. Consumer credit thus accountedfor about 30 percent of total householdcredit outstanding during the period.Consumer credit increased more rapidlythan did mortgage credit during the1960's, but the reverse was true duringthe 1970's, when house prices rose veryrapidly.
A perspective on the extent of thecredit burden is obtained by relatingthe amount of credit outstanding to thelevel of consumers' incomes. Consumercredit outstanding increased from 17.4percent of disposable personal income inthe first quarter of 1960 to a high of22.2 percent in the second quarter of1979, before dropping to 1,9.8 percent inthe fourth quarter of 1980 (see the dis-cussion of "Eecent developments" laterin this article); much of the increaseoccurred in the late 1970's (chart 2,panel 1). The rapid inflation of the late1970's made credit more attractive, be-cause consumers expected the fixed re-payment amounts to constitute a de-clining percentage of their inflation-bolstered incomes. Also, there was adecline in the "real" interest rate onconsumer credit; for example, from1976 to 1979 the interest rate on personalloans at major finance companieshovered around 20-21 percent, while therate of increase in prices of personalconsumption expenditures acceleratedfrom about 5 percent in 1976 to about9 percent in 1979. Given the increasedattractiveness of credit, consumer creditmight have increased more rapidly inthe late 1970's, except that mortgagecredit was used by some consumers as asubstitute for consumer credit, becausethey found mortgage credit cheaper, ormore accessible, or both. The contractinterest rate on a 25-year mortgage with

a loan-to-price ratio of 75 percent wasunder 9 percent in 1976, compared to arate of about 21 percent on personalloans at finance companies.
Another factor underlying the in-crease in the late 1970's in the ratio ofconsumer credit outstanding to dispos-able personal income was the increasedtendency for consumers to use creditinstead of cash, paying their outstand-ing balance in full at the end of thebilling period. Also, there was an in-crease in the proportion of the popula-tion in the 25-44 year-old range, inwhich consumer debt burdens tend tobe heaviest. According to a survey con-ducted for the Federal Reserve Boardin 1977, over 68 percent of familieswith a head aged 25-44 had outstand-ing installment debt, compared to 65percent of the families with a headyounger than 25, 58 percent of thosewith a head aged 45-54, and smallerproportions of older families. The pro-portion of families with outstandinginstallment debt in excess of $3,000 wasalso highest for those with a head aged25-44.2
Mortgage credit outstanding in-creased from 37.3 percent of disposablepersonal income in the first quarter of1960 to its current level of just under 50percent; this increase, too, was concen-trated in the late 1970's, when factorssimilar to those that led to the expan-sion of consumer credit led to the ex-pansion of mortgage credit as well. Anadditional factor in the expansion ofmortgage credit was that some home-
owners took out second mortgages inorder to convert the capital gains ontheir homes into spending power.
For the purpose of analyzing con-sumers' ability to make purchases, theratio of credit repayments to disposablepersonal income is a more useful meas-ure than is the ratio of credit outstand-ing to disposable personal income.3 Theadvantage of the former ratio is that itindicates the proportion of consumers'income that is unavailable for pur-chases. Mortgage credit repaymentsvaried from 3.5 to 4.2 percent of dispos-able personal income from 1960 through1975, and then climbed to a plateau of5.0 percent in the late 1970's (chart 2,panel 2). Repayments for consumer in-stallment credit increased from about13 percent of disposable personal incomein 1960 to 17 percent in 1971, droppedduring the next 4 years, and thenclimbed in the late 1970's to a peak of17.7 percent, before falling in late 1979and 1980 to 16.3 percent in the fourthquarter of 1980. Given the increasingratio of consumer credit outstanding todisposable personal income and the highconsumer interest rates prevailing in thelate 1970's, the repayments ratio wouldhave climbed more rapidly, but for thelengthening of loan maturities. Forexample, the average maturity on loansby major automobile finance companiesincreased from about 38 months in early1976 to over 44 months in 1979. Morethan 60 percent of the loans made bycommercial banks for new car pur-chases in 1979 were for over 36 months,compared to less than 20 percent in 1975.

moting their credit cards. The FederalEeserve study cited earlier reportedthat the proportion of families usingbank credit cards increased from 19 per-cent in 1971 to 35 percent in 1977, andthat the proportion using retail cardsincreased only from 45 percent in 1971to 50 percent in 1977.4 The sharp in-crease in the share of installment creditprovided by credit unions is associatedwith the sharp increase in their im-portance as depository institutions;savings at credit unions increased ten-fold from 1960 to 1979. The partialreplacement of finance companies assources of automobile credit by com-mercial banks and credit unions hasprobably made such credit available atlower interest rates.
Cyclical patterns
The third panel of chart 2, whichtraces the net change in credit outstand-ing as a percentage of disposable per-sonal income, shows the slowing ofcredit growth that occurred in the re-cessions that troughed in the firstquarter of 1961, the fourth quarter of1.970, the first quarter of 1975, and thesecond quarter of 1980. The net change
in credit outstanding in any period isthe difference between the amount ofcredit extended during the period andthe amount repaid. Because repaymentsare a function of prior credit extensionsover a period of time, it is in credit ex-tensions that cyclicality is more evident.As shown in chart 3 for the 1961, 1970,and 1975 recessions, consumer install-ment credit extensions are flat or declin-ing in the several quarters before acyclical trough, after which they risesharply. Mirroring the greater volatilityof automobile purchases than of otherpurchases, cyclical variations in the au-tomobile credit component are sharperthan those in total consumer installmentcredit extensions. For reasons discussedlater in this article, the decline in creditextensions—both total and automo-bile—was unusually sharp in the 1980recession.
The net change in consumer install-ment credit outstanding generally leadsthe business cycle.5 During the earlyphases of an economic recovery, repay-ments, which are influenced by the lowlevel of extensions during the recession,
increase more slowly than do extensions.As the recovery continues, however, re-payments begin to increase faster thanextensions, and the net change in creditoutstanding turns down before the peakof the business cycle is reached.
In contrast, the volume of consumerinstallment credit outstanding generallylags the business cycle.6 Extensionsnormally exceed repayments; so, evenwhen a recession begins and extensionsflatten or decline, they continue to ex-ceed repayments, and the volume ofcredit outstanding continues to increaseeven after the business cycle peak haspassed.
Credit delinquency rates also show acyclical pattern (chart 4). The rate onconsumer installment loans at commer-cial banks, for example, reached highsin three of the four trough quarterscited above. (The exception was in 1980,when the delinquency rate continued torise from the second quarter to thethird.) Superimposed on the cyclicalpattern is a secular uptrend in this de-linquency rate. Because this rate refersonly to consumer installment loans ex-tended by commercial banks, the up-trend may reflect nothing more than thefact that in increasing their share of theconsumer installment credit market,commercial banks have accepted alarger number of high-risk customers.
Recent developments
Table 2 shows the monthly move-ments during 1980 in the net change inconsumer installment credit outstand-ing, in repayments, in extensions, and inthose components of total extensions forwhich data are available. Consumer in-stallment credit outstanding increased$1.6 billion in December, followingaverage monthly increases of one-halfthat size in August through November,and average monthly declines of $1.9billion in April through July. Behindthe decline was a drop in extensions,from a high of almost $28 billion inJanuary to a low of just over $22 billionin May. Automobile credit, which hadaccounted for less than 29 percent of

the installment credit extended in 1979,accounted for about 50 percent of theJanuary-to-May drop in extensions.
Factors behind the January-to-Maydrop in credit extensions were the re-cession and the associated drop in con-sumer incomes and concern over possiblefuture income losses; high consumerinterest rates—for example, the rate on a36-month commercial bank loan for thepurchase of a new automobile was 15.72percent in May, up from 13.28 percentin February; cost pressures on creditextenders, who were limited in theirability to raise interest rates by Stateusury laws; and the credit control pro-gram announced by the Federal ReserveBoard on March 14 (see the "BusinessSituation" in the March 1980 SURVEY OFCURRENT BUSINESS)/
7. There is evidence of increasing consumerawareness of the interest rates on consumer credit.
It is difficult to assess the role thatthe Federal Reserve's program playedin curtailing credit extensions. On theone hand, automobile credit, whichplummeted, was exempt from the pro-gram, and from February to May (themonths for which data are available)interest rates rose as rapidly on autoloans as on other consumer loans. On theother hand, announcement of the pro-gram apparently caused some consumersto curtail their use of credit and somecredit extenders to tighten up on thegranting of credit—for example, byrequiring larger monthly payments orby raising eligibility requirements forcredit use.8 Because of the very sharpdrop in credit use, the Federal Reserve
(See 1977 Consumer Credit Survey, chapter 2.) Itis not clear, however, whether the demand for con-sumer credit is becoming more sensitive to changesIn interest rates.
8. For a description of the responses of variouscredit extenders to the program, see U.S. House ofRepresentatives, Committee on Banking, Finance
announced a relaxation of the creditcontrols on May 22, and their elimina-tion on July 3.
Several State legislatures have re-cently liberalized their usury laws. Forexample, in late November, New Yorkremoved its civil usury ceiling from con-sumer loans. These liberalizationswould support the upturn in consumercredit that seemed underway by Decem-ber. Facilitating such an upturn is thereduced burden of consumer credit; asnoted earlier, consumer installmentcredit repayments were equal to only16.3 percent of disposable personal in-come in the fourth quarter of 1980, thelowest level in 4 years. The strength ofany upturn will depend, of course, onauto sales; extensions of automobilecredit were down in November-Decem-ber from the previous 3 months.

State and Local Government Fiscal Position in 1980
A HE State and local governmentsurplus on a national income and prod-uct accounting (NIPA) basis was $29billion in 1980, up $2 billion from thesurplus in 1979. The increase in the sur-plus reflected a larger acceleration inreceipts growth than in expendituresgrowth. It was the net result of a $3billion increase in the surplus of socialinsurance funds and a $1 billion declinein the surplus of other funds. The other-funds surplus has declined each yearsince 1977, from $10 billion to about $2billion in 1980.
Receipts
State and local government receiptsincreased 9 percent in 1980, up from a71/2-percent increase in 1979, but belowthe increases of 10 percent or more reg-istered in 1977 and 1978 (table 1). Allcategories of receipts recorded strongincreases in 1980 except corporateprofits tax accruals, which declined Sy2
percent. General own-source receipts ac-celerated—from a 7^-percent to a 9-percent increase—despite the decline incorporate profits taxes. Major increaseswere in personal tax and nontax receipts(especially income taxes) and in indi-rect business tax and nontax accrualsother than sales and property taxes,especially in receipts related to exploita-tion of mineral wealth.
Personal income tax growth accel-erated in 1980 despite a deceleration inincome growth. The 16-percent increasewas in line with increases in recent yearsexcept 1979, when the increase was only9 percent. The pattern appears to be re-lated to that of net final settlements. In1978, refunds exceeded payments on set-tlement by approximately $1 billion; in1979, the excess widened to about $2.5billion as a result of law changes affect-ing 1978 liabilities. The change of about$1.5 billion from 1978 to 1979 accountedfor much of the 1979 deceleration. In
1980, the excess was again about $2.5 bil-lion, so that final settlements had littleeffect on the change in personal incometaxes.
Sales taxes, the largest category ofindirect business taxes, again increasedless than in the preceding year. Gaso-line taxes declined slightly, despite anumber of rate increases, as gasolineconsumption declined for the secondconsecutive year. Factors contributingto the decline in consumption were anincreasing proportion of more fuel-efficient vehicles in the fleet and a de-cline in the number of miles driven.General sales tax growth was held downby a number of law changes. SeveralStates exempted some or all purchasesof residential utilities from the sales taxbase. Illinois and West Virginia con-tinued a phased removal of food sold ingrocery stores from the base, and Colo-rado removed these food sales from thebase.
Business property taxes increasedvery slowly by historical standards—about 5 percent—but more than in 1978and 1979. The virtual absence of growth
in 1978 and 1979 was largely the resultof California's Proposition 13, whichaffected the second half of 1978 and allof 1979. By 1980, it no longer exerted amajor negative effect on the year-to-year change. Tax limitations other thanProposition 13 enacted in 1978 are stillslowing property tax growth. In addi-tion, there are other possible reasons forcontinued slow growth: (1) Local offi-cials may have found it prudent to limittax growth in order to lessen pressuresfor voter initiatives, and (2) local gov-ernments that accumulated surpluses,as local governments as a whole did in1977 and 1978, allowed tax growth todecelerate while accumulated balancesran down. In 1980, there were referen-dums in several States designed to re-strict severely the growth of propertytaxes. However, these measures failed,with the exception of one in Massachu-setts. This referendum required legisla-tive implementation for several of itsprovisions, and both magnitude andtiming of its property tax provisionsare as yet unclear.

20 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS February 1981
Contributions for social insuranceincreased 12 percent, compared with14% percent in 1979. Most of this de-celeration was accounted for by a $0.4billion refund under the cash sickness(temporary disability insurance) pro-gram administered by the State of Cali-fornia ; 80 percent of contributions paidby employees to the program during1979 was returned during 1980.
Federal grants-in-aid increased 9%percent, compared with only 4 percentin 1979, but Wy2 percent and 14% per-cent in 1977 and 1978. Much of the ac-celeration was in entitlement pro-grams—Federal support for welfarebenefits, medical vendor purchases, pro-vision of food and home-heating for theneedy, and training and human devel-opment programs. Grants for these pro-grams increased 14 percent. Grantsfor capital purposes also increasedstrongly—11% percent—despite a $1.2billion decline in local public worksgrants due to the running down of the1977 program (only $0.2 billion of anoriginal $6 billion remained unspent as1980 ended). All other grants recordedan increase of less than 2 percent.
Expenditures
Expenditures increased 9% percentin 1980, compared with 8% percent in1979 (table 2). Accelerations in pur-chases of structures and in direct relieftransfer payments—the latter reflectingthe 1980 slowdown in the economy—were major factors.
Total purchases again increased 9%percent, but the composition of the in-crease differed from that in 1979. Pur-chases of structures increased 12 per-cent, up from 7% percent. The 1980increase was more than accounted for byprices, which increased 13 percent; realpurchases of structures declined slight-ly. Other purchases of goods and serv-ices from business increased 10 percent,a little more than in 1979. Real pur-chases were flat. Compensation of em-ployees increased 8% percent in 1980,less than in 1979. Higher average com-pensation accounted for most of the1980 increase. Real compensation in-creased only about 1 percent. About one-half of the increase in real compensa-tion was due to an increase in employ-
ment. The other one-half was due to ashift from employment funded bythe Comprehensive Employment andTraining Act (CETA), which declinedabout 75,000, to permanent employ-ment, which increased by about 140,000.(In the derivation of real compensation,a CETA employee's services are valuedat $7,000 in 1972 dollars, which is theestimated average compensation of anemployee under the Public EmploymentProgram of 1972, and a permanent em-ployee's services are valued at about$11,000; thus a shift of 75,000 fromCETA to permanent employment isvalued at about $3 billion in 1972dollars.)
In 1977 and 1978, CETA hiring byStates and localities had been largelyan addition to normal increases in em-ployment (chart 5). In 1979, whenCETA employment first declined, otheremployment accelerated, suggestingthat many of those leaving CETA rollsbecame permanent employees.
In 1980, however, the further declinein CETA employment was not offset bylarger-than-normal increases in perma-nent employment. Among the factorsthat contributed to the change in pat-tern from 1979 to 1980 are that: (1) thebetter qualified CETA employees, whoare more easily absorbed into the perma-nent workforce, were "skimmed" off in1979 as managers anticipated further
declines in CETA employment, and (2)by 1980 many governments had rundown surpluses accumulated in 1977and 1978, so that they were no longerable to finance larger-than-normalhirings.
Transfer payments to persons in-creased 11 percent, up from 7 percent in1979. Welfare and related transfers,which react quickly to changes in theeconomy, accounted for most of the ac-celeration ; they were up 14 percent afteran increase of 3% percent in 1979. Bene-fits from social insurance funds in-creased 11 percent, slightly less than in1979, and other transfers increased 3%percent, more than in 1979.
Interest received by government,which is netted against interest paid inthe NIPA's, increased more rapidlythan did most types of expenditures,thus holding down total expendituresgrowth. Dividends received by socialinsurance funds (which, until the re-cently published comprehensive re-vision of the NIPA's, were includedwith interest received) increased 4%percent in 1980, more than in 1979, butsignificantly less than in 1977 and 1978.The lower rates of increase reflect ashift in the holdings of State and localgovernment-administered retirementsystems from stocks—i.e. dividend-pay-ing investments—to interest-bearinginvestments.

Fiscal positionWith a surplus of $2 billion on 1980,
the State and local government sectorexcluding social insurance funds barelymaintained the record of surpluses reg-istered since 1975. These surpluses hadbeen $10 billion in 1977 and 1978 and $3billion in 1979. Over the past severalyears, certain mineral-wealthy Stateshave recorded strong revenue growth,partly in response to sharply rising en-ergy prices. In Texas, Alaska, and Lou-isiana, severance taxes and royalties in-creased sharply, as did corporate profitstaxes in Louisiana and Alaska (Texasdoes not levy a corporate profits tax).These States have accumulated sur-pluses, while other States and localitiesin aggregate have moved into deficit.
This other-funds measure has usuallyregistered a deficit; prior to 1972, whengeneral revenue sharing funds account-ed for much of the surplus, the last sur-plus was recorded in 1947. Because capi-tal spending by government is combinedwith current spending in the summaryNIPA presentations and because muchof the capital spending by States andlocalities is funded by long-term bor-
rowing, the "normal" fiscal position ofthe other-funds measure has been a defi-cit.1 The 1980 acceleration in capitalspending helped explain the continuedmove toward deficit.

OutlookIn 1981, total receipts will increase
at the same or at a slightly faster ratethan in 1980. General own-source re-ceipts are likely to increase faster, about11 percent. The increase in personal in-come taxes is likely to accelerate. Sev-eral States now indexing these taxes—i.e., adjusting any or all three of thedeterminants of tax liability that arestated in dollar amounts (personal ex-emptions and deductions, and tax ratebrackets) to reflect changes in the pricelevel—are considering modification ofthe practice. Indexation had a modestdampening affect on overall 1980growth; the intent of the modificationsis to allow more rapid increases. If theeconomy improves in 1981, the declinein corporate profits taxes will end. It islikely that there will be fewer lawchanges limiting sales tax growth thanthere were in 1980.
Localities may allow property taxesto increase somewhat more rapidly thanin 1980, as State legislatures (and theFederal Government as well) limitgrowth in grants-in-aid for local gov-ernment use. The property tax increasewill be held down by the Massachusettsaction mentioned earlier, which will re-duce total property tax accruals about$0.4 billion in 1981. Other indirect busi-ness taxes will continue to increase rap-idly, as energy prices continue to rise.
1. This and other characteristics of the surplusand deficit in the NIPA framework are discussedmore fully in "State and Local Government FiscalPosition in 1978," in the December 1978 issue ofthe Survey of Current Business.
These faster increases in own-sourcerevenue will be partly offset by a slowerincrease in Federal grants-in-aid. TheState portion of general revenue-shar-ing is scheduled to stop in 1981, re-ducing grants by $2.3 billion, and itappears that the Administration willattempt to curb growth in grants pro-grams supporting construction of high-ways, mass transit, and water treatmentplants. Grants for GET A employmentare likely to be further reduced, if noteliminated, in 1981. For the year as awhole, grants increases are unlikely toexceed 4-5 percent.
Increases in expenditures will prob-ably remain under 10 percent. Construc-tion will probably increase very little,as grants for capital purposes are cutback. Further reductions in CETA em-ployment will probably limit compen-sation growth, and some improvementin the economy will allow welfare trans-fers to increase more slowly. In Cali-fornia, State spending may have to bereduced below current levels.
Following the passage of Proposition13 in 1978, the State used its large ac-cumulated general fund surplus to helpfinance local government spending,especially for welfare and education.(See "Proposition 13: One Year Later,"in the November 1979 SURVEY OF CUR-RENT BUSINESS.) That surplus, whichwas $1 billion in June 1979, declinedto less than $1 billion as of January1981; almost all of that surplus is re-served for an "economic uncertainty"contingency fund. Unless increases inmajor State receipt categories acceleratesharply in the next few months, Statesupport for local operations will have tobe reduced.
The 1981 surplus on the NIPA basiswill be somewhat larger than in 1980—about $32 billion. The social insurancefunds will show a surplus of about thatamount, and the other funds will be inapproximate balance. Several of thepoints mentioned—specifically, smallerincreases in welfare transfers, stabilityof corporate profits taxes, and largerincreases in personal income taxes—rest on an assumption of some improve-ment in the economy. In the absence ofsuch an improvement, the other-fundsmeasure will move into deficit.

The National Income and Products Accountsof the United States: An Overview
This article presents a summary explanation of BEA's national income andproduct accounts. It is an expansion of the article that appeared in the October1979 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, and it incorporates the results of the recentlycompleted comprehensive revision of the national income and product accounts.An appendix to the article presents the definitions that underlie these accounts.These definitions provide detail that cannot be included in a summary explanation.
JL HE national income and productaccounts (NIPA's) show the economicprocess—i.e., the production, distribu-tion, and use of output. Although themeasurement of production is the func-tion of the NIPA's that is best known,they gained their preeminence as a toolof macroeconomic analysis because, in
addition to measuring production, theypresent a summary picture of the eco-nomic process. The first section of thisarticle explains how production ismeasured in the NIPA's, and the secondsection explains how the NIPA's pro-vide a summary picture of the economicprocess.
The Measurement of ProductionABOUT 85 percent of GNP—the mostpopular measure of the production ofthe Nation—originates in business. Ac-cordingly, a good way to explain theGNP is to show how the production at-tributable to a single business unit canbe measured. It can be measured in twoways: in terms of products, i.e., goodsand services; and in terms of incomesgenerated in production.
GNP as a sum of products
Of all the magnitudes that are observ-able for a business unit, its sales comeclosest to its production, but they arenot equivalent to it. First, sales fallshort of production if some of the unit'sproduction is added to inventories.Conversely, sales exceed productionif inventories are drawn down. Sec-ond, sales and inventory change ofa unit measure not only the productionattributable to that unit (also calledproduct originating in, or the valueadded by, the unit), but also the rawmaterials, semifinished products, andfinished products—more precisely, any
22
product other than plant and equipmentintended for use by the purchasingunit—that the unit purchases fromother units. Because these purchases arethe production of the other units, theymust be deducted from the sum of aunit's sales and inventory change toderive the production attributable tothat unit. In NIPA terminology, thesepurchases are called current-accountpurchases. (The term "intermediateproducts" is often used interchangeablywith current-account purchases.)
Thus, the production attributable tothe business unit can be measured by thefollowing formula:
Value of production = sales+inventorychange — current-account purchases.
The next step is to regard GNP asthe sum of the production of all thebusiness units that operate in the econ-omy and to examine what happens tothe formula if it is so interpreted. Itsinventory change component stands. Be-cause the current-account purchases ofone unit are the sales of another, they
cancel out for the economy as a whole.In an economy like that of the UnitedStates, the sales that do not cancel("final sales") can be seen to consist of(1) sales to consumers, (2) gross fixedinvestment (the plant and equipmentthat was omitted from current-accountpurchases), (3) sales to government,and (4) sales to foreigners—exports.Exports are measured after deductionof imports. Imports are reflected in finalsales and also in the inventory changecomponent of the formula. But they areforeign rather than U.S. production,and must be deducted if the aim is toderive a measure of production attrib-utable to the United States.
About 15 percent of GNP originatesoutside of business. Nonbusiness pro-duction includes the services providedby household employees (and by theemployees of nonprofit institution),the services provided by governmentemployees, and the services provided toforeigners abroad by factors of produc-tion—labor and property—owned byresidents of the United States (net ofthe services provided in the UnitedStates by factors of production ownedby residents of foreign countries). Thefirst two categories of nonbusiness pro-duction are measured by the compensa-tion of employees of households (andnonprofit institutions) and of govern-ment. The last category is measured bythe net inflow from abroad of employeecompensation and—much more impor-tant—of property incomes (interestand profits). The household componentis treated as a sale to consumers; thegovernment component, as a sale to gov-ernment ; and the foreign component, asa sale to foreigners.
This is a drastically abbreviated ex-planation of GNP and, at a minimum,
Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
February 1981 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 23
requires the following further explana-tions.
First, the reference to business"units" was intentionally ambiguous.On the one hand, units may be estab-lishments (e.g., factories); on the other,they may be firms (enterprises, com-panies, corporations). The former tendto reflect technologies, the latter tendto reflect financial arrangements.1
Second, each of the components offinal sales has characteristics that arenot obvious. For instance, fixed invest-ment is defined "gross," i.e., no deduc-tion is made for plant and equipmentused up in production. Another char-acteristic of fixed investment is that itcovers, in addition to residences boughtby business, residences bought by house-holds. Common sense suggests that suchpurchases are investment rather thanconsumption.
Third, in addition to monetary trans-actions, GNP includes "imputations"for certain items of production in kind.These amount to less than 10 percent ofGNP. The major items are: wages andsalaries in kind, food and fuel producedand consumed on farms, the value ofservices rendered by owner-occupiedresidences, and the value of services fur-nished without payment by financialintermediaries. Each of these imputa-tions is made in order to obtain a betterview of total national output and of itsdistribution. This statement can beillustrated by one of the imputationsfor wages and salaries in kind. If onlymonetary transactions were taken intoaccount, meals provided free to restau-rant workers—unlike meals sold byrestaurants—would not appear as partof GNP, and wa^es of restaurant work-ers would be understated relative to thewages of workers who receive theirwages entirely in monetary form.
1. There are several systems of economic ac-counts that, taken together, are commonly calledthe national economic accounts. One of these sys-tems, the input-output accounts, because it showshow the industries of the Nation interact to pro-duce the GNP, are based on a technological defini-tion of the business unit. Another system, the de-tailed saving-investment accounts, because it showsthe transactions in the markets that transformsaving into investment, are based on a financialdefinition. Inasmuch as the NIPA's may be viewedas the system that summarizes the national eco-nomic accounts, they would seem to require both.The establishment-firm dichotomy is one of the mostimportant obstacles to integration within and amongparts of the national economic accounts.
GNP as a sum of incomes
The second way of measuring GNP isbased on a self-evident proposition:
Value of production = costs of produc-tion + profits.
To shorten the discussion, the followingexplanation omits the application ofthis formula to the single business unit,and applies it directly to business as awhole. When the formula is applied tobusiness as a whole, a major category ofcosts of a single business unit—current-account purchases—cancels out because,as has been explained, the current-account purchases of one unit are thesales of another. The costs remaining inthe formula fall into four main cate-gories : compensation of employees, netinterest, depreciation and other capitalconsumption allowances, and indirectbusiness taxes. Employee compensationconsists mainly of wages and salaries,but includes also employer contributionsto social security and private pensionand welfare funds. Net interest is in-terest paid by the business less the in-terest it receives. Depreciation, etc., rep-resents the cost of plant and equipmentused up in production. Indirect businesstaxes are taxes that can be charged tobusiness expense—for example, salesand excise taxes and business propertytaxes.
The difference between the value ofbusiness production and the costs justenumerated is business profits, of whichcorporate profits is the largest category.Corporate profits are measured beforetaxes on them. (Corporate profits taxesare not an expense in the strict sense ofthe word, because, unlike business ex-penses proper, they cannot be deter-mined before profits are calculated.)The other major profits category is la-beled proprietors' income, and coversthe incomes of proprietorships and part-nerships. The last category of profits,called rental income of persons, is verysimilar to proprietors' income.
This itemization of costs and profitsis applicable to business production.The items used to measure nonbusinessproduction were enumerated earlier. Inmeasuring GNP as a sum of incomes,these items are combined with corre-
sponding items of business costs and'profits.
A graphic summary.—Business andnonbusiness production, and productionin terms of products and of incomes,are quantified for 1980 in the upperpanel of chart 6.2 The bulk of produc-tion is seen to originate in business; outof a total of $2,629 billion, $2,224 billionoriginates in this sector. Production at-tributable to households accountsfor $86 billion, production attrib-utable to government for $269 billion,and production attributable to factorsof production provided (net) by U.S.residents to foreigners abroad—calledrest-of-the-world production—accountsfor $50 billion. Without rest-of-the-world production, the total is calledgross domestic product. This total,which is $2,579 billion, is useful instudies that focus on production attrib-utable to factors of production locatedin the United States.
The right-hand side of the panelshows production measured in terms ofproducts, and the left-hand side showsproduction measured in terms of in-comes. For the business sector, the dis-tinction between products and incomesis observable in the real world; for theother sectors, only incomes are observ-able. The sequence of incomes shownfor the business sector differs from thecosts-profits sequence just described forreasons that will be explained in thenext section.
The chart also shows how the sectors'corresponding product items and corre-sponding incomes items are combinedto derive the National Income andProduct (NIP) Account, which isshown in the lower panel. For example,sales to persons by business and by con-sumers are combined to become personalconsumption expenditures, and com-pensation of employees by business, byhouseholds, and by government is com-bined into a total for compensation ofemployees.

GNP is measured as a sum of products.On the left-hand side, it is measured asa sum of incomes. The following pointshelp make the table intelligible.
First, the items "subsidies, etc.,""business transfer payments," and "sta-tistical discrepancy" are new. The firstof these can be regarded as negative in-direct business taxes. The businesstransfer payment item includes, in ad-dition to corporate gifts to nonprofitinstitutions, bad debts incurred by con-sumers. Sales on the right-hand side ofthe account include credit sales beforedefaults; accordingly, bad debts are anelement of business cost. They are calledtransfer payments—a NIPA term thatincludes incomes of consumers for whichthey did not render current services—because they are written off rather thancollected. Finally, the statistical dis-crepancy is the GNP measured as asum of products less GNP measured as asum of incomes. In theory, the statisticaldiscrepancy should be zero, becauseprofits is a residual—the value of pro-duction less the cost of production. Inpractice, the statistical discrepancy isnot zero, because the income and prod-uct sides of the NIP account are esti-mated independently, and—given the
SUEVEY OF CUKEENT BUSINESS
imperfection of estimating methodolo-gies—are subject to error.
Second, the terms "inventory valua-tion adjustment" and "capital con-sumption adjustment" are attached toseveral items on the income side of theNIP account. "Inventory valuation ad-justment" is attached to proprietors'income and to corporate profits to signalthat, with respect to inventory account-ing, even though these two forms ofprofits are derived from business re-ports, they are based on the method usedin the NIPA's rather than on methodsused by business. The NIPA method isto value the change in the physicalvolume of inventories in the prices ofthe current period. When the physicalvolume of an inventory good is un-changed or increasing, this method isidentical to the last-in-first-out method.The inventory item included on theproduct side of the account is also meas-ured using the NIPA method.
"Capital consumption adjustment" isattached to the two profits items justenumerated, and also to rental income ofpersons and to capital consumption al-lowances, to signal that, with respectto depreciation accounting, even thoughthe items are derived from business re-ports, they are based on the method usedin the NIPA's rather than on methods
February 1981
used by business. The method used inthe NIPA's is to measure depreciationwith uniform service lives and con-sistent depreciation formulas, and tovalue it at replacement cost.
Third, the sequence of items on theincome side of the NIP account departsfrom the costs-profits sequence used intheir explanation. The entries addingup to a total called national income area combination of items that can be en-visaged as the sum of the earnings ofthe several factors of production. This"factor cost" concept is often used instudies dealing with the allocation offactors of production to various uses.The two additional aggregates that areshown—charges against net nationalproduct and charges against GNP—measure production valued at marketprices, which include indirect businesstaxes. Because it is market price that isthe basis for choice among alternativeproducts, market-price valuation ispreferable for studies of economic be-havior and welfare. Charges against netnational product measure the value ofproduction after deduction of capitalconsumption allowances, and chargesagainst GNP is the income counterpartof the product measure of GNP.

February 1981 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 27
A Picture of the Economic ProcessTHE sketch of the first function of theNIPA's—the provision of measures ofthe total output of the Nation—has beencompleted. An explanation of theirsecond function—the provision of a pic-ture of the economic process in termsof the production, distribution, and useof output—is taken up next.
Inspection of the NIP account showsthat it provides considerably more thana product and an income measure oftotal GNP. In addition, it provides im-portant clues to the distribution and useof GNP. For instance, it shows the partof GNP that goes to consumers ("per-sons" in the NIPA's, to indicate thatnonprofit institutions and a few otherentities are merged with householdsproper). It also shows, on the left-handside of the account, many of the in-comes—for instance, wages and sala-ries--that persons receive and use topurchase goods and services. In otherwords, the NIP account shows manyof the elements that are necessary for acomprehensive accounting of the dis-tribution of GNP to, and the use of itby, persons—one of the major economicgroups distinguished in the NIPA's be-cause these groups determine the work-ing of the economy. But the picture isincomplete. The NIP account does notshow all the income receipts of persons;for instance, old-age and unemploymentbenefits and other transfer payments re-ceived from government are not shown.Nor does it show individual income andother personal taxes, or personal saving.
A similar situation holds for theother major economic groups, govern-ment and foreigners: The NIP accountshows some but not all of their receiptsand expenditures.
Finally, information is incom-plete for the part of GNP that is savedand invested. The NIP account showsthe part of GNP that is invested do-mestically, but not foreign investment.Among the forms of saving that makeinvestment possible, only business sav-ing (undistributed corporate profitsand capital consumption allowances) isshown.
Recognition of these gaps in the in-formation relating to the distributionand use of the GNP suggests a way inwhich these gaps can be filled: Accountsare established for persons, government,and foreigners to record systematicallyall the receipts of these groups and thedisposition they make of these receipts,and an account is established for the sev-eral forms of domestic saving thesegroups generate and the investmenttheir saving makes possible. These ac-counts are shown as accounts 2 through5 in table 1. They do not involve a calcu-lation of profit or loss, as does the NIPaccount, because they are receipt andexpenditure accounts—unlike the NIPaccount, which is .fashioned after a busi-ness income statement. Also, there is adifference between the personal, govern-ment, and foreign accounts on the onehand, and the saving-investment ac-count on the other. The former refer toeconomic groups. The latter cuts acrossthem and shows the saving and invest-ment transactions of all domesticgroups.
The remaining task is to fill in ac-counts 2 through 5. First, counterentriesto the transactions that appear in theNIP account are made in the appropri-ate accounts. For instance, personal con-sumption expenditures, which are areceipt in the NIP account, appear asa disposition of receipts in the personalincome and outlay account. Second, theaccounts are completed by filling intransactions not yet encountered—trans-actions that occur between two of theseaccounts. These new entries are ex-plained below.
Personal income and outlay account
In the personal income and outlayaccount, several new items are encoun-tered on the receipts side: dividendsreceived by government, interest paidby government to persons and businessless interest received by government,interest paid by consumers to business,transfer payments to persons from gov-ernment, and personal contributions forsocial insurance. Dividends received bygovernment is encountered because it
must be subtracted from the dividendtotal in the NIP account to derive per-sonal dividend income.
The interest items are encountered aspart of a presentation that replicates themethodology of deriving personal inter-est income from the net interest item inthe NIP account. This derivation isseen most easily in algebraic form. Ifinterest is paid (p) and received (r) bybusiness (B), by persons (P), by gov-ernment (G), and by foreigners intransactions with the United States(F),then:
Bp+Pp+Gp+Fp=Br+Pr+Gr+Fr,and
Inasmuch as (Bp-Br) + (Fp-Fr) is thenet interest item in the NIP account,it can be seen that personal interestincome equals net interest plus interestpaid by government less interest re-ceived by government plus interest paidby persons. The differences between theterminologies used in the algebraicformulation and in the personal incomeand outlay account mainly reflect clas-sificational features of the NIPA's.3
Transfer payments by government topersons consists of social security andunemployment insurance benefits, vet-erans' pensions, and other items paid bygovernment to persons for which thelatter do not perform current services.Personal contributions for social insur-ance consists of contributions of em-ployees and the self-employed to socialsecurity and similar government plans.
On the disposition side of the account,the new items are personal taxes, inter-est paid by consumers to business, per-sonal transfer payments to foreigners,and saving. Personal taxes consists of
3. These differences relate to GP and PP. "Interestpaid by government to persons and business" isused instead of GP to indicate that interest paidby government to foreigners is handled separately.Such payments are not regarded as payments forservices produced by property supplied by foreignersto the United States, and are therefore excludedfrom production in the rest of the world (and hencealso from the NIP account). "Interest paid byconsumers to business" is used instead of PP toindicate (1) that interest paid by nonprofit institu-tions is excluded (it is included in the businesscomponent of "net interest"), (2) that mortgageinterest paid is excluded (it also is included in thebusiness component of "net interest"), and (3) thatit is assumed that consumers pay interest only tobusiness.

the individual income tax and othertaxes paid by persons that cannot becharged to business expense. Interestpaid by consumers to business consistsof interest paid by individuals in theircapacity as consumers. Transfer pay-ments to foreigners consists of remit-tances and other gifts in cash and inkind made by U.S. persons to residentsof foreign countries. Finally, saving isthe difference between personal incomeand the outlays listed on the dispositionside of the account.
Government receipts and expendituresaccount
The government receipts and expend-itures account, which can be regardedas a budget statement within theframework of the NIPA's, shows threenew items: transfer payments to for-eigners, interest paid to foreigners, andsurplus or deficit. Government transferpayments to foreigners consists of non-military grants in cash and in kindmade to foreign nations and of transferpayments to former residents of theUnited States. Interest paid to for-eigners consists of interest paid by theU.S. Government to foreign business,governments, and persons. The govern-ment surplus or deficit is the differencebetween government receipts andexpenditures.
Foreign transactions account
The foreign transactions account,which is an embryonic balance of pay-ments statement for the United States,shows two new items: net foreign in-vestment, and capital grants receivedby the United States. The latter con-sists mainly of allocations of SpecialDrawing Rights to the United Statesby the International Monetary Fund.Net foreign investment is the increaseof U.S. claims on foreigners less theincrease of foreign claims on the UnitedStates. U.S. exports give rise to claimson foreigners, as do capital grants re-ceived by the United States. U.S. im-ports, tarnsfer payments paid to for-eigners, and interest paid by govern-ment to foreigners give rise to foreignclaims on the United States.
Gross saving and investment account
There are no new entries in the grosssaving and investment account. This
account exhibits the well-known ex postequality of total saving and total in-vestment.
Estimates Supporting the Summary NIPA'sTHE figures shown in table 1 are onlythe tip of the iceburg. Information isavailable not only for years but also forquarters and, in the case of personalincome and its disposition, for months.For most annual information, theperiod since 1929 is covered; for mostquarterly and monthly information, thepost World War II period is covered.For GNP and its product components,current-dollar measures, such as thoseshown in table 1, are separated into"real" measures—i.e., measures fromwhich price change has been elimi-nated—and measures of price change.Finally, most of the items shown intable 1 are available in much greaterdetail. For instance, annual estimates ofpersonal consumption expenditures arebroken down into about 100 types of ex-penditures, and annual and quarterlyestimates of government receipts andexpenditures are shown separately forthe Federal Government and for Stateand local governments.
Major measures of production andincome.—Four widely used measuresof production and income—GNP, na-tional income, personal income, and dis-posable personal income—are shown inchart 7 for 1980.4 GNP and national in-come are comprehensive measures ofproduction. In the chart, the difference
4. The estimates shown in chart 7 are those pub-lished in the January 1981 SURVEY.
between them is separated into capitalconsumption and indirect businesstaxes, etc.; the latter makes up the dif-ference between the market-price andfactor-cost valuations.
Personal income is sometimes used asa proxy measure of production becauseit is available for regions of the Nationand because the national measure isavailable monthly. It differs from pro-duction because it excludes some in-comes that represent production but arenot distributed to persons—for ex-ample, social security taxes and undis-tributed corporate profits—and includessome incomes that do not represent cur-rent production—for example, transferpayments. Because, especially in theshort run, some of these incomes do notfollow the course of total production,the proxy is imperfect. In the chart, theformer is shown as what is subtracted,and the latter as what is added, in orderto derive personal income from nationalincome.
Personal income and its disposition—taxes, outlays, and saving—are usefulin their own right, especially becausepersons are the largest among the eco-nomic groups whose interaction deter-mines the working of the economy: Per-sons receive most of the income, accountfor the single largest share of taxes,give rise to the bulk of the demand forGNP, and contribute substantially tothe saving that finances investment.

With the exception of major incomeand product aggregates, entries areusually defined in this appendix in thesequence in which they appear in thefive-account summary. Their definitionis not repeated when the counterentriesappear, but a cross-reference is made tothe place of their first appearance. Thedefinitions of GNP, national income,and some other production aggregatescan be found in the first two sections,which define the entries in the nationalincome and product (NIP) account.Definitions of personal income and dis-posable personal income can be found inthe section that defines the entries in thepersonal income and outlay account.NIP account: gross national product
GNP is the market value of the goodsand services produced by labor andproperty supplied by residents of theUnited States, before deduction of de-preciation charges and other allowancesfor business and institutional consump-tion of fixed capital goods and after de-duction of products charged to expenseby business. GNP consists of the pur-chases of goods and services by personsand government, gross private domesticinvestment (including the change inbusiness inventories), and net exports(exports less imports).
Personal consumption expenditures(1-26) is goods and services purchasedby individuals, operating expenses ofnonprofit institutions serving individ-uals, and the value of food, fuel, cloth-ing, rent of dwellings, and financialservices received in kind by individuals.Net purchases of used goods are alsoincluded. All private purchases of resi-dential structures are classified as grossprivate domestic investment.
Gross private domestic investment(1-30) is fixed capital goods purchasedby private business and nonprofit insti-tutions, and the value of the change inthe physical volume of inventories heldby private business. The former includeall private purchases of residentialstructures whether purchased for tenantor owner occupancy. Net purchases ofused goods are also included.
Net exports of goods and services(1-38) and (1-39) is exports less im-ports of goods and services. Exports arepart of national production. Imports
are not, but are included in the compo-nents of GNP, and are therefore de-ducted. There are differences betweenthe NIPA measures of exports and im-ports and those in the detailed balanceof payments accounts.
Government purchases of goods andservices (1-40) is the compensation ofgovernment employees and purchasesfrom business and from abroad. It ex-cludes transfer payments, interest paidby government, and subsidies. It in-cludes gross investment by governmententerprises, but excludes their currentoutlays. It includes net purchases ofused goods and excludes sales and pur-chases of land and financial assets.
NIP account: charges against gross na-tional product
Charges against GNP is the costs in-curred and the profits earned in theproduction of GNP. Accordingly, itequals GNP, except for the statisticaldiscrepancy. These charges are arrangedin two groups. The first of these—com-pensation of employees, proprietors'income, rental income of persons, corpo-rate profits, and net interest—are fac-tor charges, because they represent theincomes of the factors of production(labor and property). The total of fac-tor incomes is called the national in-come. The second group consists of non-factor charges. Addition of businesstransfers, indirect business taxes, andcurrent surplus of government enter-prises less subsidies—which are includedin this group—to national income yieldscharges against net national product(and net national product). Additionof capital consumption allowances—theremaining item in the nonfactor costgroup—to charges against net nationalproduct yields, in principle, chargesagainst GNP (and GNP). In practice,measurement errors result in a statisti-cal discrepancy, which is entered be-tween national income and chargesagainst net national product to securebalance between GNP and the factorarid nonf actor charges against it.
The aggregates that have been enum-erated so far differ from each otherbecause of distinctions that are madebetween market value and factor costconcepts, and gross and net concepts.GNP as derived above is a gross market
value measure; national income is a netfactor cost measure; and net nationalproduct is a net market value measure.One further basic distinction can bemade in defining the value of produc-tion. This is the distinction betweendomestic measures and national meas-ures. The former denote the productionattributable to labor and property lo-cated in a country; the latter denote theproduction attributable to labor andproperty supplied by residents of acountry. The national measures exceedthe domestic measures by the net inflowof labor and property incomes fromabroad.
In principle, eight measures of pro-duction can be derived from these threedistinctions. Three of them are includedin table 1; two additional ones are in-cluded in more detailed presentationsof the NIPA estimates. GNP has al-ready been defined. Definitions of theother five follow. Gross domestic prod-uct is the market value of the goods andservices attributable to labor and prop-erty located in the United States. Itequals GNP less the net inflow of laborand property incomes from abroad. Netnational product is the net market valueof the goods and services attributableto labor and property supplied by resi-dents of the United States. Net nationalproduct equals GNP less capital con-sumption allowances; these allowancesare deducted from gross private do-mestic fixed investment to express it ona net basis. Net domestic product is thenet market value of the goods and serv-ices attributable to labor and propertylocated in the United States. It equalsnet national product less the net inflowof labor and property incomes fromabroad. National income is the incomethat originates in the production ofgoods and services attributable to laborand property supplied by residents ofthe United States. Thus, it measures thefactor costs of goods and services pro-duced. Incomes are recorded in theforms in which they accrue to residents,and are measured before deduction oftaxes on those incomes. They consist ofthe compensation of employees, propri-etors' income, rental income of persons,corporate profits, and net interest. Do-mestic income is the factor cost of the

February 1981 SUEVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 31
goods and services attributable to laborand property located in the UnitedStates. It equals national income lessthe net inflow of labor and property in-comes from abroad.
Compensation of employees is the in-come accruing to employees as remu-neration for their work. It is the sum ofwages and salaries and supplements towages and salaries.
Wages and salaries consists of themonetary remuneration of employees,including the compensation of corporateofficers; commissions, tips, and bonuses;and receipts in kind that represent in-come to the recipients. It consists ofdisbursements (1-3) and wage accrualsless disbursements (1-4). Disburse-ments is wages and salaries as just de-fined except that retroactive wages arecounted when paid rather than whenearned.
Supplements to wages and salariesconsists of employer contributions forsocial insurance and of other labor in-come. Employer contributions for socialinsurance (1-6) includes employerpayments under the following pro-grams: Federal old-age, survivors,disability, and hospital insurance ;State unemployment insurance; rail-road retirement and unemploymentinsurance; government retirement; andpublicly administered workmen's com-pensation. Other labor income (1-7) in-cludes employer contributions to privatepension and welfare funds, and direc-tors' fees.
Proprietors' income with inventoryvaluation and capital consumption ad-justments (1-8) is the income, includingincome in kind, of proprietorships andpartnerships and of producers' coopera-tives. Interest and dividend income re-ceived by proprietors and rental incomesreceived by persons who are not primar-ily engaged in the real estate businessare excluded. The inventory valuationadjustment is described under corporateprofits and the capital consumptionadjustment under capital consumptionallowances.
Rental income of persons with capitalconsumption adjustment (1-9) is theincome of persons from the rental ofreal property, except the income of per-sons primarily engaged in the real estate
business; the imputed net rental incomeof owner-occupants of nonfarm dwell-ings ; and the royalties received by per-sons from patents, copyrights, andrights to natural resources. The capitalconsumption adjustment is describedunder capital consumption allowances.
Corporate profits with inventory val-uation and capital consumption ad-justments is the income of corporationsorganized for profit and of mutualfinancial institutions that accrues to res-idents, measured before profits taxes,before deduction of depletion charges,after exclusion of capital gains andlosses, and net of dividends receivedfrom domestic corporations. Corporateprofits includes net inflows from abroadof dividends, reinvested earnings of in-corporated foreign affiliates, and earn-ings of unincorporated foreign affiliates.In other major respects, profits are de-fined as in Federal income tax regula-tions. The capital consumption adjust-ment is described under capital con-sumption adjustment is described undercapital consumption allowances.
Profits before tax is corporate profitswithout inventory valuation and capitalconsumption adjustments.
Profits tax liability (1-12) is Federal,State, and local taxes on corporateincome.
Profits after tax is profits before taxless profits tax liability. Dividends(1-14) is payments in cash or otherassets, excluding stock, by corporationsorganized for profit to stockholderswho are U.S. residents (including Stateand local social insurance funds).Undistributed profits (1-15) is corpo-rate profits before tax less corporateprofit tax liability and less dividends. Itmay also be viewed as the sum of pur-chases of fixed capital assets, the changein the book value of corporate inven-tories, and the net acquisition of finan-cial assets, less the sum of capital con-sumption allowances, net borowing, andnet stock issues.
Inventory valuation adjustment(1-16) is the change in the business in-ventories component of GNP, which ismeasured as the change in the physicalvolume of inventories valued in pricesof the current period, less the change inthe value of inventories reported by
business (book value). The inventoryvaluation adjustment converts inven-tories at historical cost, the valuationconcept generally underlying businessaccounting, to replacement cost, theconcept underlying the NIPA's. It is re-quired only for nonfarm inventories;the change in farm inventories is esti-mated directly. To make the measure-ment of charges against GNP consistentwith GNP, an inventory valuation ad-justment must be applied to reportedcorporate profits and proprietors' in-come.
Net interest (1-18) is interest paid bybusiness less interest received by it, plusnet interest received from abroad. Inaddition to monetary interest flows, netinterest includes flows of interest inkind (imputed interest). The latterhave their counterparts in servicecharges, which are included in personalconsumption expenditures and in gov-ernment purchases.
Business transfer payments (1-20) ispayments to persons for which the latterdo not perform current services. Theyinclude liability payments for personalinjury, corporate gifts to nonprofit in-stitutions and bad debts incurred byconsumers. Most of personal consump-tion expenditures is stated before de-duction of consumer bad debts; corpor-ate profits and proprietors' income areStated after allowance for bad debts.Accordingly, bad debts have to beentered explicitly among the chargesagainst GNP, and because they are writ-ten off rather than collected, they fitinto the general category of transferpayments.
Indirect business tax and nontaxliability (1-21) consists of tax liabilities(except employer contributions forsocial insurance) that are chargeable tobusiness expense in the calculation ofprofit-type incomes, and of certain otherbusiness liabilities to government agen-cies (except government enterprises)that it is convenient to treat like taxes.Indirect business taxes includes sales,excise, and property taxes, and thewindfall profit tax on crude oil produc-tion. Taxes on corporate income are ex-cluded ; these taxes cannot be calculateduntil profits are known, and in thatsense, are not a business expense. Non-

32 SURVEY OF CUEEENT BUSINESS February 1981
taxes includes regulatory and inspectionfees, special assessments, fines and pen-alties, rents and royalties, and dona-tions. Nontaxes generally excludes busi-ness purchases from government ofgoods and services that are similar tobusiness purchases of intermediateproducts from other businesses. Govern-ment receipts from the sale of suchproducts are netted against govern-ment purchases so that they do notappear in GNP and other measures ofproduction.
Subsidies less current surplus of gov-ernment enterprises (1-22). Subsidiesis the monetary grants paid by govern-ment to business, including governmententerprises at another level of govern-ment. The current surplus of govern-ment enterprises is their sales receiptsless their current outlays. In the calcu-lation of their current surplus, no de-duction is made for depreciationcharges and net interest paid. Subsidiesand current surplus are often combinedbecause deficits incurred by governmententerprises may result from sellinggoods to businesses at lower thanmarket prices in lieu of giving themsubsidies. This is also the major reasonfor not counting the current surplus ofgovernment enterprises as a profit-typeincome and, accordingly, as part offactor charges.
Statistical discrepancy (1-23) isGNP less charges against GNP otherthan the statistical discrepancy. Itarises because GNP and charges againstGNP are estimated independently bymethodologies that are subject to error.
Capital consumption allowances withcapital consumption adjustment (1-25).Capital consumption allowances con-sists of depreciation charges and ac-cidental damage to fixed business capi-tal. For nonfarm business, they are asreported on Federal income tax returns.For farms, nonprofit institutions, andowner-occupied houses, depreciationcharges are not based on income taxreturns, but instead are calculated toconform to NIPA definitions. Capitalconsumption adjustment (1-17) for cor-porations is the tax return-based capitalconsumption allowances less capitalconsumption allowances that are basedon estimates of uniform service lives,
straight-line depreciation, and replace-ment cost. Similar adjustments are ap-plied to proprietors' income, and rentalincome of persons. The capital con-sumption allowances with capital con-sumption adjustment for nonprofit in-stitutions serving individuals is thevalue of the current services of the fixedcapital assets owned and used by theseinstitutions; it is included in personalconsumption expenditures.

ceived by persons from all sources, thatis, from participation in production,from transfer payments from govern-ment and business, and from govern-ment interest, which is treated like atransfer payment. Persons consist of in-dividuals, nonprofit institutions, pri-vate noninsured welfare funds, andprivate trust funds. Proprietors' in-come is treated in its entirety as receivedby individuals. Life insurance carriersand private noninsured pension fundsare not counted as persons, but theirsaving is credited to persons. Personalincome is the sum of wage and salarydisbursements, other labor income, pro-prietors' income with inventory valua-tion and capital consumption adjust-ments, rental income of persons withcapital consumption adjustment, per-sonal dividend income, personal interestincome, and transfer payments, lesspersonal contributions for social insur-ance.
Disposable personal income is per-sonal income less personal tax and non-tax payments. It is the income availableto persons for spending or saving.
Wage and salary disbursements (see1-3).
Other labor income (see 1-7).Proprietors^ income with inventory
valuation and capital consumption ad-justments (see 1-8).
Rental income of persons with capitalconsumption adjustment (see 1-9).
Personal dividend income is the divi-dend income of persons from all sources.It equals dividends (see 1-14) less divi-dends received by government (2-13).Dividends received by government con-sists of dividends received by State andlocal government social insurancefunds.
Personal interest income is the in-terest income of persons from allsources. It equals net interest (see 1-18),plus interest paid by government to per-sons and business (2-16) less interest re-ceived by government (2-17) plus in-terest paid by consumers to business(2-18). The last item consists of all in-terest paid by individuals in their ca-pacity as consumers, and accordinglyexcludes interest payments on mort-gages and home improvement loans, be-cause homeowners are treated as busi-nesses in the NIPA's. The derivation ofpersonal interest income can be ex-plained as follows: Net interest equalsinterest paid by producers (in this case,business and U.S. residents supplyingproperty services to abroad) to personsand government less interest receivedby producers from consumers and gov-ernment. It therefore falls short of in-terest received by persons from pro-ducers by the amount of interest re-ceived by producers from consumersand government, and exceeds interestreceived by persons from producers bythe amount of interest received by gov-ernment from producers. Accordingly,the former is added to net interest, andthe latter is deducted, to obtain personalinterest income.
Transfer payments to persons is in-come payments to persons, generally inmonetary form, for which they do notrender current services. It consists ofbusiness transfer payments (see 1-20)and government transfer payments(2-21). Government transfer paymentsinclude payments under the followingprograms: Federal old-age, survivors,disability, and hospital insurance; sup-plementary medical insurance; Stateunemployment insurance; railroad re-tirement and unemployment insurance;government retirement; workmen'scompensation; veterans, including vet-erans life insurance; food stamp; blacklung; supplemental security income;and direct relief. Government paymentsto nonprofit institutions, other than forwork under research and developmentcontracts, is also included.
Personal contributions for social in-surance (2-22) includes payments byemployees, self-employed, and other in-dividuals who participate in the follow-

Personal saving (2-6) is personal in-come less the sum of personal outlaysand personal tax and nontax payments.It is the current saving of individuals(including proprietors), nonprofit in-stitutions, private noninsured welfarefunds, and private trust funds.

Definitions of Sectors
In addition to the breakdowns ofGNP that appear in the five-accountsummary of the NIPA's, GNP can bebroken down by sectors — business,households and institutions, govern-ment, and the rest of the world.
Business consists of all organizationslocated in the United States that pro-duce goods and services for sale at aprice intended at least to approximatecosts of production. In the main, itcovers private enterprises organized forprofit, both corporate and noncorporate.Mutual financial institutions, privatenoninsured pension funds, cooperatives,nonprofit organizations serving busi-ness, Federal Eeserve banks, and fed-erally sponsored credit agencies are alsoincluded, as well as government enter-prises. Owner-occupied housing, andbuildings and equipment owned andused by nonprofit institutions servingindividuals, are considered to be busi-

ness organizations selling their currentservices to their owners.
The production of the business sec-tor can be measured either in terms ofthe value of the goods and services itproduces in the United States or interms of the costs incurred and theprofits earned in its production.
Households and institutions consists
of households of families and unrelatedindividuals, nonprofit institutions serv-ing individuals, private trust funds,and private noninsured welfare funds;the coverage is the same as that of per-sons as defined in the NIPA's. Produc-tion is measured by the compensationof employees.
Government consists of Federal and
State and local government agencies ex-cept government enterprises. Produc-tion is measured by the compensation ofemployees.
Rest of the world consists of foreign-ers as transactors with U.S. residents.Production is measured by net inflowsof labor and property incomes fromabroad.

February 1981 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS
Quarterly and Monthly Constant-Dollar Manufacturing and Trade Inventories and Sales
35
Revised quarterly estimates of constant-dollar inventories, sales, and inventory-sales ratios for manufacturing and trade, for 1976:1-1980 :IV and monthly estimates for July-December 1980 are shown below. They incorporate the revised national income and productaccount estimates of inventories that were described in the December 1980 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS and revised Census Bureausales and shipments series. Inventory estimates for the period beginning with 1959 have been revised principally to incorporate newprocedures for deflating the book value of inventories. Retail sales have been revised beginning with 1968, and manufacturing shipmentsand wholesale sales beginning with 1978. Revised estimates for earlier periods are available on request from the National Income andWealth Division (BE-54), Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230.

Trends in the U.S. Direct InvestmentPosition Abroad, 1950-79
This article presents data on the U.S.direct investment position abroad,equity and intercompany account out-flows, and reinvested earnings of incor-porated foreign affiliates for 1950-79.The data for 1950-65 have been reag-gregated from previously publisheddata into formats as similar as possibleto those used in the SURVEY OF CURRENTBUSINESS for 1966 forward. In tables7, <9, and 9, the 3 items are shown for 6areas (excluding subtotals], 5 of whichare cross-classified ~by 3 industries. Inthe near future, tables showing these 3items and, in addition, income; earn-ings; and interest, dividends, and earn-ings of unincorporated affiliates for 43countries or areas and 6 industries willbe available upon request.
DUEING 1950-79, the U.S. direct in-vestment position abroad expandedgreatly and underwent marked changesin its composition by area and industry.Also, the relative sizes of the differentcomponents of change in the positionvaried significantly. The major develop-ments, which are reviewed and inter-preted in this article, were:• At yearend 1950, the U.S. direct in-
vestment position abroad was $11.8billion. From 1950 to 1979, the posi-tion grew at an average annual rateof 10.1 percent and, by yearend 1979,had reached $192.6 billion. Growthtended to be most rapid in the early-to-mid fifties, and to be slowest in thelate fifties and early sixties.
• Of the two generally largest compo-nents of change in the position—equi-ty and intercompany account outflowsand reinvested earnings of incorpo-rated foreign affiliates—reinvestedearnings was generally the largercomponent at the beginning and end
of the period; equity and intercom-pany account outflows were largerduring the middle of the period.
• At yearend 1950, the shares of theposition accounted for by affiliates indeveloped and developing countrieswere about the same—48 and 49 per-cent, respectively. ("Internationaland unallocated" accounted for theremainder.) By yearend 1979, theshare of developed countries had in-creased to 72 percent, while that ofdeveloping countries had declined to25 percent. European affiliates largelyaccounted for the increase in the shareof developed countries, while LatinAmerican affiliates largely accountedfor the decline in the share of devel-oping countries.
• At yearend 1950, 29 percent of theposition was in petroleum, 32 percentin manufacturing, and 39 percent in"other" industries. Largely duringthe sixties and early seventies, in-vestments in manufacturing rose sig-nificantly relative to those in petro-leum. At yearend 1979, 22 percent ofthe position was in petroleum, 43 per-cent in manufacturing, and 35 per-cent in "other" industries.The position is the net book value of
U.S. direct investors' equity in, and out-standing loans to, their foreign affili-ates. It is sometimes confused with, andaccordingly should be distinguishedfrom, total assets of the affiliates them-selves, which are the sum of total own-ers' equity held by, and total liabilitiesowed to, both U.S. direct investors andall other persons.1
The change in the position in a givenyear consists of three components: (1)
1. Data on total affiliate assets are collected inBEA's benchmark surveys of U.S. direct invest-ment abroad.
equity and intercompany account out-flows, (2) reinvested earnings of incor-porated foreign affiliates, and (3) valua-tion adjustments. Equity and intercom-pany account outflows are the net in-crease in U.S. parents' capital .stock (in-cluding additional paid-in-capital) in,and intercompany account balanceswith, incorporated foreign affiliates,plus the net increase in U.S. parents'claims on the net assets of unincor-porated foreign affiliates. Reinvestedearnings are U.S. parents' shares in theearnings of incorporated foreign af-filiates (net of foreign income taxes),less gross dividends to U.S. parentsfrom these affiliates. Valuation adjust-ments are all changes in the position notarising from the other two components.The sum of equity and intercompanyaccount outflows and reinvested earn-ings is equal to capital outflows forU.S. direct investment abroad recordedin the U.S. international transactionsaccounts.
Data on the position are collected forthe universe of foreign affiliates incensuses, or benchmark surveys, of di-rect investment. Benchmark surveyswere conducted in 1950,1957, and 1966.2
(A survey covering 1977 is in the finalstages of processing.) For nonbench-mark years, sample data are collected,and are linked to the universe data col-lected in the most recent benchmarksurvey. As a result of this linking (orbenchmarking) process, the universe

data for the benchmark year are extrap-olated forward, based on the sampledata, to obtain universe estimates forsubsequent years.
For a benchmark year, estimatesmade by linking sample data to the pre-vious benchmark survey will generallydiffer from data collected in the newone, because movements in the sampledata collected in that year, and in theyears between the two benchmark sur-veys, do not perfectly reflect movementsin the universe. The technical note atthe end of the article compares thelinked-sample and benchmark*estimatesfor 1957 and 1966; the note also dis-cusses comparability problems stem-ming from changes in the definition ofdirect investment, changes in the meth-od of allocating the position by coun-try and industry, and measurement ofthe position in terms of historical bookvalues.
OverviewAt yearend 1950, the U.S. direct in-
vestment position abroad was $11.8 bil-lion ; at yearend 1979, it was $192.6 bil-lion (table 1 and chart 8). The averageannual growth rate was 10.1 percent,with a high of 16 percent in 1956 and alow of 5 percent in 1966. The 1966 figurereflected a downward revision made asa result of benchmarking the data toBEA's 1966 benchmark survey of U.S.direct investment abroad, rather thanan actual deceleration of investmentactivity; in the absence of this revision,the position would have increasedabout 11 percent in 1966. The secondslowest growth year was 1960, when theposition increased only 7 percent, pri-marily because expropriated invest-ments in Cuba were removed from theposition.
Although year-to-year variationsmake it difficult to draw general con-clusions concerning subperiods of 1950-79, there was some tendency for theposition to grow most rapidly during1950-57, when large investments weremade in Canada and, during 1956-57,in Venezuela. Growth tended to beslowest during the late fifties and earlysixties, probably because of slow growthin the world economy, as well as the1960 disinvestment in Cuba.
After the midsixties, growth in theposition was fairly stable: the ratesranged from 9 to 11 percent, except in4 years—1973, 1975, 1978, and 1979—when they ranged higher. The rapidgrowth in these 4 years was in part aconsequence of three related factorsthat characterized the seventies: (1)high rates of worldwide inflation, (2)sharp increases in petroleum prices, and

(3) floating exchange rates. In 1973,1978, and 1979, the growth in the posi-tion was accounted for by reinvestedearnings of incorporated foreign affili-ates. In 1973 and 1979, dollar earningswere boosted by both rapid worldwideinflation and particularly sharp petro-leum price increases; in 1978, they wereboosted by depreciation of the U.S.dollar against several major foreigncurrencies. In each year, much of theincrease in earnings tended to be rein-vested by affiliates, probably in partbecause of the need to finance the re-placement of physical assets at costs ex-ceeding allowances calculated underhistorical cost accounting. In 1975, therapid growth in the position was ac-counted for by equity and intercompanyaccount outflows, partly due to the re-versal of large inflows from petroleumaffiliates in 1.974. This shift in equityand intercompany account flows wasrelated to sharp increases in petroleumprices in 1973-74.
Growth in the Position, byComponent
During 1950-79, the patterns ofgrowth in the position, both by com-ponent and by area and industry,varied. Table 2 shows, for 1950-79, thethree components of the change in theposition in millions of dollars and as apercent of the total change.
In most years, the two largest com-ponents of change in the position wereequity and intercompany account out-flows and reinvested earnings of in-corporated foreign affiliates. Of thesetwo components, equity and intercom-pany account outflows were larger in17 of the 30 years in the period—in 1950and 1956-71. Except for 1950, rein-vested earnings were larger at the be-ginning (1951-55) and end (1972-79)of the period.
A higher proportion of incorporatedaffiliates' earnings were reinvested,rather than being remitted to U.S.parents, in the two periods when rein-

vested earnings were larger than in theperiod when equity and intercompanyaccount outflows were larger. During1951-55, high rates of reinvestment ap-parently resulted mainly from the needto finance the expansion of existingaffiliates; passive accumulation of fundsbecause of restrictions on remittancesby host governments was of secondaryimportance.
During 1972-79, rates of reinvest-ment were comparatively high partlybecause, during much of the period,foreign inflation and dollar deprecia-tion against a number of foreign cur-rencies made it difficult for affiliates tomaintain stocks of physical capitalusing only funds provided by allow-ances based upon historical prices andexchange rates. Maintenance of thesestocks also required the reinvestment ofa portion of the affiliates' earnings. Ke-investment for this purpose had notbeen necessary to the same extent inearlier periods, when foreign inflationrates were generally lower and foreignexchange rates more stable.
The importance of reinvested earn-ings as a component of change in theposition during 1972-79 reflected notonly a relatively high rate of reinvest-ment, but also extremely slow growthin equity and intercompany account out-flows. Absolute declines in outflows wereregistered in 5 of the 8 years in the pe-riod. This slow growth was partly at-tributable to an increase in sales, rela-tive to purchases, of capital stock inincorporated affiliates by U.S. parents.Table 3 shows, for 1964-78, data on U.S.parents' acquisitions and sales of stockfrom or to foreigners other than theaffiliate in which the investment wasmade—primarily unaffiliated foreign-ers.3 (Such data are not available forother years.)
During 1963-72, outflows to acquirecapital stock from unaffiliated foreign-ers substantially exceeded inflows fromthe sale of capital stock to unaffiliatedforeigners. For most of these years, amajor portion of outflows for acquisi-tions was to acquire or add to invest-ment in European manufacturing affili-ates. Some of this investment was prob-

ably a delayed response to the earlierformation of the European EconomicCommunity, and some was probably en-couraged by an overvalued U.S. dollar.Both factors tended to increase the at-tractiveness to U.S. companies of directinvestment, relative to exporting, as ameans of serving foreign markets.
In contrast, in 1973, outflows for ac-quisitions only slightly exceeded inflowsfrom sales, and in each of the succeed-ing years sales exceeded acquisitions.The excess of sales over acquisitions wasparticularly large in 1976 and 1978,when several sizable sales occurred. Themotivations previously mentioned foracquisitions of equity in foreign affili-ates had probably diminished by themidseventies: U.S. companies had hadample time to adjust patterns of tradeand investment in response to the for-mation of the European Economic Com-munity, and increased flexibility of for-eign exchange rates and the substantialdepreciation of the U.S. dollar proba-bly had reduced the significance of per-
sistent exchange-market disequilibriumas a factor in investment decisions. Inaddition, motivations for sales mayhave increased. Reasons for some of thelarger sales included concern over Cana-dian controls on petroleum exports;host-government procurement policiesfavoring locally owned firms; concernover the ability of affiliates to competewith more highly integrated locallyowned firms; the desire to raise fundsto finance domestic (U.S.) operations;arid pressures by host governments fora greater degree of local ownership ofaffiliates, particularly in the extractiveindustries. In some instances, local own-ership was increased through the saleof affiliates to governments or govern-ment enterprises.
Slow growth in equity and intercom-pany account outflows during 1972-79was also attributable to a tendency foraffiliates to rely increasingly on foreign,rather than U.S., funds to finance theiroperations. According to BEA's dataon sources and uses of funds of foreign
affiliates for 1957-76 (the data for 1966forward cover only majority-ownedaffiliates), this tendency first becameevident around 1968, when mandatorycontrols on U.S.-source financing offoreign affiliates were established.4 Itapparently continued even after thecontrols were abolished in January1974. The controls appear to have hadlasting effects on foreign capitalmarkets, which grew and developedduring the program years to meet in-creased demands for foreign-sourcefunds.
Finally, equity and intercompany ac-count outflows were dampened during1972-79 by a reduction in outflows to,or shift to inflows from, petroleum af-filiates. As discussed in the next section,the pattern of outflows in petroleumwas closely associated with changes incrude oil prices.
As noted above, valuation adjust-ments—the third component of changein the position—include all changes inthe position not arising from the othertwo components. They primarily reflectdifferences between transactions values
4. The tendency might have been even strongerhad there not been a provision that permitted U.S.parents to supply their foreign affiliates with fundsin excess of program ceilings by borrowing abroadand using the proceeds to offset their excessfinancing of affiliates.

on the books of U.S. parents, which areused to record equity and intercompanyaccount outflows, and book values onthe books of foreign affiliates, which areusd to record changes in the position.For example, they include differencesbetween the proceeds from and bookvalue of affiliates that are sold or liqui-dated ; differences between the purchaseprice and book value of affiliates thatare acquired by U.S. parents; and write-offs resulting from uncompensated ex-propriations of affiliates. Valuation ad-justments may also arise because of re-classifications of investments from (to)direct investment to (from) portfolioinvestment; revisions made in conjunc-tion with benchmarking, such as thecorrection of errors or changes in defini-tion ; and revaluations of affiliate assets.5
For individual areas and industries,they include reclassifications of invest-ments between areas and industries.
Valuation adjustments were a rela-tively small component of the change inthe position in most years shown intable 2. However, they were quite largein the benchmark years 195Y and 1966,
5. For 1978 and 1979, the gains and losses arisingfrom such revaluations are consistently includedas reinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates orequity and intercompany account outflows to un-incorporated affiliates, rather than as valuation ad-justments. Before 1978, however, these gains andlosses, if known,, were included as valuation adjust-ments.
and in 1960, when the expropriated in-vestments in Cuba were removed fromthe position; the adjustments werenegative in all three years. Relativelylarge negative adjustments were alsomade for 1962 and 1972; these adjust-ments resulted from the reclassificationof several Canadian investments fromdirect to portfolio investment. Thelargest positive adjustments were madefor 1978, when several affiliates weresold for more than their book value, andwhen, partly as a byproduct of the 1977benchmark survey, several previouslyunreported affiliates were included inthe position for the first time.
Area and Industry Patterns
Tables 1 and 4 show levels, percent-age distributions, and average annualrates of growth in the position by areaand industry. The percentage distri-butions and rates of growth are inter-related. The share in the total of a givenarea or industry will increase, remainunchanged, or decline, respectively, de-pending upon whether its growth rateis above, equal to, or below that of thetotal. For an area or industry whosegrowth rate is above (below) that of thetotal, the increase (decline) in its sharewill be larger (1) the larger its initialshare, (2) the larger the difference be-tween its growth rate and the growthrate for the total, and (3) the longer the
period over which growth is com-pounded.6
At yearend 1950, the shares of theposition accounted for by affiliates indeveloped and developing countrieswere about the same—48 and 49 per-cent, respectively. "International andunallocated," which includes shippingand certain other international opera-tions, accounted for the remainder. Inboth developed and developing coun-tries, the areas with the largest shareswere in the Western Hemisphere: indeveloped countries, Canada had thelargest share (30 percent); in develop-ing countries, Latin America had thelargest share (39 percent) (chart 9).
By yearend 1979, the geographicaldistribution of the position had changedsignificantly. The share of the devel-oped countries had increased to 72 per-cent, while that of the developing coun-tries had declined to 25 percent. Theshare of "international and unallocated"had increased slightly.
European affiliates largely accountedfor the increase in the share of the de-veloped countries. As a result of f aster-than-average growth in all three majorindustries, the share of Europe in-creased from 15 percent at yearend

1950 to 42 percent at yearend 1979. Theshare of "other" developed countries—Japan, Australia, New Zealand, andSouth Africa—rose from 5 percent to8 percent. Partly offsetting was a de-cline, from 30 percent to 21 percent, inthe share of Canada; this declineresulted from slower-than-averagegrowth in manufacturing and "other"industries.
Latin American affiliates largely ac-counted for the decline in the share ofdeveloping countries. The share ofLatin America declined from 39 percentto 19 percent because of slower-than-average growth in petroleum and"other" industries. The share of "other"developing countries also declined be-cause of slow growth in petroleum.
The industry distribution of the posi-tion also changed significantly duringthe period. At yearend 1950, 29 percentof the position was in petroleum, 32percent in manufacturing, and 39 per-cent in "other" industries. At yearend1979, 22 percent of the position was inpetroleum, 43 percent in manufacturing,and 35 percent in "other" industries.Investments in manufacturing hadrisen significantly—largely during thesixties and early seventies—relative topetroleum investments.
These changes in area and industrycomposition reflected changes in the rel-ative advantages and disadvantages ofinvesting in various areas and indus-tries. They also reflected the facts thatthe initial (1950) U.S. direct investmentposition in Europe, but not in Canadaand Latin America, had been lowered bythe destruction of U.S. investments dur-ing World War II, and that the positionin Europe in later years was raised bythe replacement of these investments.
Before 1950, U.S. direct investmentabroad tended to be made close to home,in part because expensive and inefficienttransportation and communicationmade it difficult to operate enterprisesfrom great distances. Canada, in par-ticular, was viewed by U.S. direct in-vestors as an extension of the domesticmarket. In addition, it Avas a locationfrom which manufactured goods couldbe exported on preferential terms tomembers of the British Commonwealth.Pre-1950 investments also tended to beconcentrated in public utilities, agricul-ture, and industries related to naturalresources—such as mining and petro-leum—from which it would be difficultto derive benefits through other means,Guch as by exporting. The agriculturaland natural resources investments were
made primarily to serve United States,rather than foreign, markets.
Many of the U.S. direct investmentsin Europe that had been made beforeWorld War II were destroyed duringthe war and had not been replaced by1950. Incentives to replace these invest-ments, and to make new ones, wore weakuntil economic reconstruction was morecomplete and currency convertibility,which had been suspended during theWar, began to be restored. Reconstruc-tion provided larger markets—with as-sociated economies of scale—for goodsproduced by foreign affiliates, and theeconomic infrastructure needed forefficient production and distribution.Moves towards currency convertibilityensured U.S. direct investors that in-come from, and capital invested in, for-eign affiliates could be largely or whollyrepatriated. Incentives to invest in Eu-rope were further strengthened by thesecular decline in the cost, and improve-ments in the quality, of long-distancetransportation and communication fa-cilities, and by the integration of sev-eral major economies into the EuropeanEconomic Community.
Because Canada and Latin Americawere more nearly "saturated" with U.S.investments in 1950 than was Europe,

in part because U.S. investments inthese areas had not been destroyed dur-ing the War, there was less immediatepotential for subsequent growth anddevelopment of U.S. investments inthese areas. Moreover, Canada andLatin America had initial concentra-tions of U.S. investments in indus-tries—such as public utilities and thoserelated to natural resources—in whichthe issue of foreign control became espe-cially sensitive. U.S. direct investorsmade a number of substantial disinvest-ments in these industries during1950-79.
Petroleum
At yearend 1950, the position in pe-troleum was $3.4 billion. From thenuntil 1979, it grew at an average annualrate of 9.0 percent; at yearend 1979, itwas $41.6 billion. Growth rates in par-ticular years varied widely, rangingfrom a 14-percent decline in 1974 to a 25-percent increase in 1956.
The position in petroleum grew at an-nual rates of 12.7 percent in developedcountries, 4.2 percent in developingcountries, and 8.4 percent in "interna-tional and unallocated." In developedcountries, the position grew at annualrates of 11.2 percent in Canada, 13.9percent in Europe, and 12.4 percent in"other" developed countries. In devel-oping countries, the position grew at a4.4-percent rate in Latin America and a3.9-percent rate in '"other" developingcountries.
In Canada, growth was most rapidduring 1950-57—at an average annualrate of 27.1 percent, compared with 7.4percent during 1956-79. The positiongrew more rapidly in each of the years1950-56 than in any subsequent year.Investments during 1950-56 werelargely accounted for by equity and in-tercompany account outflows, whichfinanced petroleum exploration and de-velopment, particularly in WesternCanada, and construction of pipelinesand refineries. As projects in Canadawere completed during 1956-58, growthslowed to an annual rate of about 14percent, and then dropped to 4.9 percentduring 1958-69. Because substantialdevelopment had already taken placeearlier, and because world petroleumsupplies were ample, further major de-
velopment was discouraged in the latterperiod.
The growth rate increased to 9.0 per-cent during 1969-79, entirely becauseof growth in reinvested earnings. Incontrast to earlier periods, equity andintercompany account , inflows wereregistered for 1970-79 as a whole, andfor 6 of the 10 years in the period. Theinflows reflected two factors—(1) ashift, affecting at least the yearsthrough 1976, in the sources of affiliates'external financing from funds fromU.S. parents to foreign-source (i.e.,non-U.S.) funds, and (2) sales ofaffiliates by U.S. parents in 1976 and1978. Data for a sample of majority-owned foreign affiliates showed thatduring 1972-76, over 98 percent ofaffiliates' total external funds were fromforeign sources; this was up sharplyfrom 60 percent during 1966-71.7 (Also,the proportion of external funds ac-counted for by foreign-source fundswas higher in each of the years 1972-76than in any of the years 1966-71.)
The sales of affiliates in 1976 and 1978reflected, in addition to the particularobjectives of individual companies,heightened Canadian interest in in-creasing domestic ownership and con-trol of natural resource industries, andassociated tax and regulatory policies—including export controls.
In Europe, the average annual rateof growth in the position in petroleumwas 13.9 percent during 1950-79,Growth rates in individual years rangedfrom 4 percent in 1952 to 30 percent in1956. For 1950-79 as a whole, an ex-ceptionally high proportion of growthwas financed by equity and intercom-pany account outflows. With the notableexception of 1979, reinvested earningstended to be quite low; for most of thesixties, they were actually negative. Lowor negative reinvested earnings reflectedcorporate earnings that were low or neg-ative due to intercompany pricing prac-tices; earnings were shifted from in-corporated refining and marketing affil-iates in oil-importing areas, primarily

Europe, to crude-oil-producing affiliatesin oil-exporting areas, primarily theMiddle East. Tax considerations, someor all of which ceased to apply towardthe late seventies, were the primaryfactors.
In addition to 1956, years in whichgrowth in Europe was particularly rap-id were 1951 (20 percent) ,1957 (27 per-cent), 1960 (21 percent), 1961 (22 per-cent), 1973 (24 percent), and 1979 (23percent). In all these years, except 1973and 1979, major expansions in refinerycapacity or development of distributionsystems occurred. The largest increasesin the position tended to be in theUnited Kingdom, which, throughout1950-79, accounted for a larger shareof the position in petroleum than anyother European country.
In 1973, rapid growth in the positionwas attributable to sharp increases incrude oil prices, which resulted in in-creases in European affiliates' indebted-ness to their U.S. parents for oil theparents had purchased in crude-oil-pro-ducing countries, primarily in the Mid-dle East, and then resold to the Euro-pean affiliates. The increases in indebt-edness reflected both the higher value oftransactions associated with the higherprices and a temporary lengthening ofcredit terms by U.S. parents on salesto their affiliates.
These same factors contributed togrowth in 1974, when a second roundof sharp increases in crude oil pricesoccurred. However, growth in 1974 wasmoderated by a transfer to newlyformed Latin American finance affili-ates of accounts receivable due U.S. par-ents from their European petroleumaffiliates; the transfer caused the por-tion of the U.S. direct investmentposition represented by these receivablesto be shifted, by means of offsettingequity and intercompany account flows,from Europe (in petroleum) to LatinAmerica (in finance and insurance).
In 1975, crude oil prices stabilized,and affiliates were able to repay some ofthe debt they had incurred in 1973 and1974. However, growth in the positionin 1975 slowed only slightly from 1974because of a sizable increase in outflowsto the United Kingdom. The increase in

outflows largely financed sharply higherspending, to a substantial extent in-duced by higher crude oil prices, forNorth Sea exploration and develop-ment. Outflows to finance such spend-ing continued to be an important sourceof growth for the remainder of theperiod.
In 1979, rapid growth in the positionwas attributable to a sharp increase inreinvested earnings, which, in turn, wasdue to increases in both corporate earn-ings and the rate of reinvestment. Theincrease in earnings largely reflectedincreased profit margins of refining affil-iates; margins rose as prices of refinedproducts were bid up considerably aboveOPEC-set crude oil contract prices, inresponse to growing uncertainties aboutthe future price and availability ofcrude oil. The reinvestment rate in-creased to help finance these affiliates'accumulation of inventories as a hedgeagainst further price increases and pos-sible supply disruptions.
In Latin America, the average annualrate of growth in the position was 4.4percent. Growth occurred mainly dur-ing the fifties and early sixties: from1950-61, the position grew almost 10percent per year; from 1961-79, it grew1.2 percent per year.
Growth was particularly strong in 4years—1952, 1956, 1957, and 1961. Ineach year, it was concentrated in Vene-zuela, which, until the midseventies, ac-counted for a larger share of the posi-tion in petroleum than any other LatinAmerican country. The most rapidgrowth in the position in Latin Americawas in 1956 and 1957, when there werelarge equity and intercompany accountoutflows to Venezuela to finance the ac-quisition of petroleum concessions.Growth in 1961 was mainly due to avaluation adjustment, which reflected awriteup in the book value of the fixedassets of a large Venezuelan affiliate.
During 1961-79, growth was de-pressed by two factors: (1) a large ($1.0billion) negative valuation adjustmentin 1966, associated with BEA bench-marking, and (2) a substantial decline,over several years, in the position inVenezuela. The growth in investmentsthat did occur during this period wasoutside Venezuela—primarily in re-
fining affiliates located on various At-lantic and Caribbean Islands; most ofthis growth took place in the seventies.
The position in Venezuela declinedfrom $2.4 billion at yearend 1961 to$0.4 billion at yearend 1979. Declineswere registered in 14 of the 18 years.One reason for the decline was that,during much of the period, affiliates5
depreciation and depletion chargesagainst existing capital exceeded theirgross capital spending.8 The excess pro-vided funds that could be transferredto U.S. parents as equity and intercom-pany account inflows without impairingaffiliate operations or requiring affiliatesto borrow additional funds abroad. Thedisinvestment in net fixed assets, inturn, may have reflected a combinationof political uncertainty and the avail-ability of more attractive investmentopportunities outside Venezuela. Polit-ical uncertainty was generated byrising taxes; by the refusal of the gov-ernment to grant new concessions toforeign-owned companies; and by an-nouncement of the intention to forcethe return of existing concessions to thegovernment well in advance of takeoverdates.
In some individual years during 1961-79, there were additional reasons for thedeclines in the position in Venezuela.The decline in 1966 was largely attribut-able to BEA benchmarking. In 1973 and1974, declines were associated withsharp increases in crude oil prices, whichincreased trade accounts receivable thataffiliates held against their U.S. parentsfor oil the latter had purchased, but forwhich payment had not been made. Fi-nally, the large decline in 1976 reflectedequity and intercompany account in-flows from compensation paid to U.S.parents by the Venezuelan Governmentfor affiliate assets it had nationalized.(Following the nationalization of theassets, some affiliates remained in Vene-zuela to purchase petroleum or to selltechnical services.)
In "other" developing countries,where affiliates were engaged primarily
8. This was evidenced by data for a sample ofmajority-owned affiliates. For these affiliates, de-preciation and depletion charges exceeded capitalspending during 8 of the 11 years 1966-76 forwhich data are available; the cumulative differenceover the entire period was about $0.5 billion.
in crude oil production and, to a lesserextent, in the purchase of crude oil fromstate-owned enterprises, the positiongrew 3.9 percent per year. It grew anaverage of 7.7 percent per year from1950 to 1972, when it peaked at $4.4billion. In 1973, it declined and, in 1974-76, was actually negative. It turned posi-tive again in 1977 and, in 1979, reached$2.7 billion—still considerably belowthe 1972 peak.
Before 1973, funds supplied by U.S.parents to finance oil-producing assetslargely determined the change in theposition. Crude oil was produced byaffiliates with little direct participationby host governments or their enter-prises, crude oil prices were relativelylow, and accounts receivable were com-paratively unimportant. The positionincreased in every year from 1950 to1972, except 1966, when a downwardadjustment was made as a result ofBEA benchmarking.
Beginning in 1973, the position in"other" developing countries was low-ered or made negative by two relateddevelopments. First, a few host govern-ments either nationalized the producingassets of affiliates, thus changing thestatus of the affiliates to trade and serv-ice companies, or purchased fractionalequity interests in the affiliates' pro-ducing assets. Compensation or otherproceeds from these transactions gen-erally were returned to the U.S. parents,thereby lowering their direct investmentpositions. Second, and probably moreimportantly, crude oil prices rose sharp-ly ; this increased trade accounts receiv-able that the affiliates held against theirU.S. parents or transferred to their par-ents for collection.
The increase in receivables was larg-est in the Middle East, where the posi-tion shifted to a negative value in 1973and remained negative for the rest ofthe period. In 1973 and 1974, the effectof increased prices apparently was re-inforced by a temporary extension ofcredit terms that allowed additionaltime for the higher priced oil to workits way through the distribution systembefore the receivables were required tobe settled. As prices stabilized, and cus-tomary credit terms were reinstated, theposition in "other" developing countries

February 1981 SUEVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 47
increased somewhat, but remained nega-tive until 1977 due to the higher level ofreceivables associated with higherprices. In 1979, credit terms were short-ened significantly, thus lowering thelevel of receivables and sharply increas-ing the position.
During the years before 1973, thegeographical composition of the posi-tion within "other" developing coun-tries changed markedly. Until the mid-fifties, over three-fourths of the posi-tion in these countries was in MiddleEast countries other than Iran. Theshare of these countries declinedsteadily for the remainder of theperiod—by 1972, it was only 15 per-cent—while the share of other areas,most notably Africa, increased. By1972, Africa accounted for nearly one-half of the position in "other" develop-ing countries. Beginning in 1973, dis-cussion of the composition of the posi-tion is complicated by the shift to anegative position in the Middle East.
Throughout most of 1950-79, equityand intercompany account outflowswere a much more important source ofchange in the position in "other" de-veloping countries than were reinvestedearnings of incorporated affiliates. Theimportance of the former primarilyreflected the prevalance of unincorpo-rated affiliates, whose unremitted earn-ings are included in equity and inter-company account outflows, in crude-oil-producing areas. To a lesser extent, itreflected a low rate of reinvestment byincorporated affiliates, except in 1975,when temporary exchange restrictionscaused postponement, to early 1976, of amajor dividend payment by an affiliatein the Far East. This increased bothreinvested earnings and the position in1975, but reduced them by an equiva-lent amount in 1976.
Manufacturing
At yearend 1950, the position inmanufacturing was $3.8 billion; at year-end 1979, it was $83.6 billion. The aver-age annual growth rate was 11.2 per-cent, and growth for individual yearsranged from a 6-percent increase in the1957 BEA benchmark year to a 16-perceiit increase in 1973, when the posi-
tion apparently was boosted by rein-vestment of inflation-induced inventoryprofits. Throughout the period, the bulkof the position was in developed coun-tries; the share of these countriesranged from about three-fourths tofive-sixths of the total.
The position in manufacturing grewat similar average annual rates in de-veloped and developing countries—11.3and 10.7 percent, respectively. In de-veloped countries, the position grew atannual rates of 8.3 percent in Canada,14.0 percent in Europe, and 13.9 percentin "other" developed countries. In de-veloping countries, the rates were 10.2percent in Latin America and 14.0 per-cent in "other" developing countries.
Data on the position in individual in-dustries within manufacturing areavailable for the benchmark years 1950,1957, and 1966, and for each year from1967 forward. Data for 1950,1957,1966,and 1979—the most recent year forwhich data are available—are shown intable 4. Of the industries shown sep-arately, the positions in three—chem-icals, machinery, and transportationequipment—grew more rapidly from1950 to 1979 than the position in totalmanufacturing. The above-averagegrowth in chemicals and machinery waspartly attributable to investment insubindustries, such as petrochemicaland computer manufacturing, that havebeen characterized by high rates oftechnological innovation. At yearend1979, the position in chemicals andmachinery accounted for about one-halfof the position in manufacturing, com-pared with a little over one-third atyearend 1950.
By area, the average annual rate ofgrowth in manufacturing was lowest inCanada—8.3 percent. The rates for Can-ada in individual years ranged from a 6-percent decline in the BEA benchmarkyear 1966 to a 15-percent increase in1952, when direct investment capitaloutflows increased sharply, partly to fi-nance construction of hydroelectricpower-generating and other facilities toexpand the productive capacity of alu-minum-manufacturing affiliates.
Throughout 1950-79, growth in theposition in Canada tended to be financedout of reinvested earnings. Equity and
intercompany account outflows exceededreinvested earnings in only 4 years, andin 2 of those years, the difference wasslight. This pattern may have reflectedthe fact that Canadian affiliates areolder, on average, than affiliates else-where, and over time have developed thecapacity to finance growth primarilyout of internally generated funds.9 Therelatively slow growth of investmentsalso may have reduced the needs of affili-ates for large infusions of funds fromU.S. parents.
In Europe* the growth rate, at 14.0percent, was the highest among majorareas except "other" developing coun-tries, where the position was muchsmaller. Europe has accounted for thelargest share of the position in manu-facturing since 1964, when it surpassedCanada. By yearend 1979, Europe'sshare was nearly 50 percent.
Except for two years—1960 and1975—growth in Europe ranged from10 to 19 percent. In 1960, growth wasunusually rapid—29 percent—becauseof a large equity and intercompany ac-count outflow to acquire additional equi-ty in a United Kingdom automotiveaffiliate. In 1975, growth was relativelyslow—8 percent—largely due to poorbusiness conditions. Earnings of incor-porated affiliates fell in that year, there-by reducing the funds available for re-investment. Moreover, data for a sam-ple of majority-owned foreign affiliatesindicate liquidation of inventories and,to a much lesser extent, short-term ac-counts receivable from persons otherthan U.S. parents; this liquidation re-duced the affiliates' need for funds fromU.S. parents (as well as from othersources).10

The table shows that in 1966, 60 per-cent of the Canadian affiliates were at least 10years old, compared with 40 percent of Europeanaffiliates, 48 percent of affiliates in other developedcountries, and 42 percent of affiliates in developingcountries. The percentage of total affiliate assetsaccounted for by these older affiliates was 83 per-cent in Canada, compared with about 70 percent inthe three remaining areas (table 2, p. 61).

Within Europe, the geographicalcomposition of the position in manufac-turing changed significantly during1950-79. In 1950, 58 percent of the posi-tion was in the United Kingdom, 34 per-cent in the 6 countries—Belgium,France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg,and the Netherlands—that were to com-prise the original European EconomicCommunity, and 8 percent in other Eu-ropean countries. The shares of theseareas remained about the same until themid-to-late fifties, when the share of theUnited Kingdom began to decline andthat of the European Economic Commu-nity—which beginning in 1967 becameknown as the European Communities(6)—began to rise; somewhat later, theshare of other European countries alsobegan to rise.11 These changes in compo-sition continued with few interruptionsuntil about the midseventies, when thecomposition again stabilized. At year-end 1979, 29 percent of the position wasin the United Kingdom, 55 percent inthe European Communities (6), and 16percent in other European countries.
One reason for the shift in distribu-tion from the United Kingdom to coun-tries in the European Communities (6)was the creation of the European Eco-nomic Community in 1958 through theTreaty of Rome, which had been signedin the previous year. The major featuresof the Community were (1) the gradualreduction in, and eventual eliminationof, barriers to movements of goods andfactors of production among membercountries, and (2) the adoption of com-mon external tariffs. The most impor-tant feature, from the standpoint of di-rect investment, was probably the elimi-nation of internal tariffs.12 Some U.S.manufacturers that had been servingmarkets in the Community through

11. The change in terminology resulted from anadministrative merger with other organizations. TheEuropean Communities (6) includes, in addition tothe 6 orisrinal member countries of the EuropeanEconomic Community, the European Atomic En-ergy Community, the European Coal and SteelCommunity, and the European Investment Bank.The organization became known as the EuropeanCommunities (9) in 1973, when Denmark, Ireland,and the United Kingdom joined the Communities.
12. The common external tariff may have had aneffect on investment in individual countries andindustries. However, because it was to be basedon an average of previous tariff rates in individualcountries, its overall effect on direct investment isunclear.

U.S. exports found it necessary to pro-duce in the Community in order to com-pete with local firms in third-countrymarkets within the Community. Also,to the extent that the arrangements as-sociated with the Community increasedeconomic growth and efficiency in themember countries, general market ex-pansion may have created additionalinvestment opportunities. Finally, theability to export duty free within theCommunity raised the advantages to di-rect investors of choosing member coun-tries, rather than the United Kingdomor other outside countries, as a locus ofproduction from which to serve Europeas a whole; as a result, investment wasprobably diverted from nonmember tomember countries.
Table 5 show^s growth in the positionin the United Kingdom, the EuropeanCommunities (6), and "other" Europein the entire period 1950-79; the period1950-58 before the Community's forma-tion; three periods—1958-63, 1958-68,and 1958-79—following its formation;and the period 1973-79, following theUnited Kingdom's entry into the Com-munities. The figures suggest that theformation of the Community stimu-lated investment in the member coun-tries and diverted investment from theUnited Kingdom. The position in theEuropean Communities (6) grew morerapidly in each period following for-mation than it did before formation. Incontrast, growth in the United King-dom was more rapid than before the
Community's formation only in thefirst period following formation, andthen only because of the previouslymentioned transaction in 1960 involv-ing an automotive affiliate. The dif-ferential in growth rates between theUnited Kingdom and the EuropeanCommunities (6) narrowed consider-ably during 1973-79, when the UnitedKingdom (along with Denmark andIreland) was included in an expanded9-member European Communities.
Other factors also may have con-tributed to the shift in distribution.Partly because of the absence of lan-guage and cultural barriers, large-scaleinvestment by U.S. direct investors hadbeen channeled earlier to the UnitedKingdom than to continental Europe;thus, following a period of postwar re-construction, investment in the UnitedKingdom had less potential for subse-quent growth and development. Also,economic growth after 1958 tended tobe slower in the United Kingdom thanin the European Communities (6),partly for reasons unrelated to theCommunity's formation. This may havediscouraged investment in the UnitedKingdom relative to that in the Euro-pean Communities (6).
Growth in the position in manufac-turing in "other" European countries(table 5) increased sharply after 1957,although from a relatively small base.Contributing to the increase were eco-nomic expansion in .several countries inthe area, increasing familiarity of U.S.direct investors with the area as a by-product of investments elsewhere inEurope, and, possibly, the formation ofthe European Free Trade Association(EFTA) in 1960. In addition, some ofthe increase in 1966 represented a breakin series attributable to BEA bench-mark revisions.
The EFTA included six of the"other" European countries, togetherwith the United Kingdom. For severalreasons, it probably had less importanteffects on trade and investment than theEuropean Communities (6). First, byproviding only for the eventual elimi-nation of internal tariffs, but not forcommon external tariffs or increasedmobility of factors of production, itrepresented a lesser degree of integra-

tion. Second, with a population onlyabout one-half that of the EuropeanCommunities (6), it provided a muchsmaller internal market. (Over one-halfof the population within the EFTAwas, in turn, accounted for by theUnited Kingdom.) Third, longer dis-tances and other natural barriers, suchas bodies of water and mountain ranges,provided greater obstacles to trade inthe EFTA than in the European Com-munities (6). Finally, the EFTA's con-tinued existence was threatened by thepossibility that some of its memberswould eventually leave it to join theEuopean Communities, as the UnitedKingdom and Denmark in fact did in1973.
In "other" developed countries, theaverage annual rate of growth was 14.0percent. Rates in individual yearsranged from 29 percent in 1951 to 4 per-cent in 1975. The rapid growth in 1951was from a very small (less than $0.2billion) base. The slow growth in 1975was, as in the case of Europe, attribu-table to poor business conditions. Earn-ings of incorporated affiliates declined,reducing the funds available for rein-vestment; also, liquidation of inven-tories and receivables moderated affili-ates' need for equity and intercompanyaccount outflows from U.S. parents.
During 1950-79, the share of the"other" developed countries accountedfor by Japan increased sharply, whilethe shares of the remaining countries de-clined. At yearend 1950,3 percent of theposition was in Japan, 63 percent inAustralia, 6 percent in New Zealand,and 28 percent in South Africa. At year-end 1979, 40 percent of the position wasin Japan, 46 percent in Australia, 2 per-cent in New Zealand, and 12 percent inSouth Africa.
The position in Japan grew very rap-idly—at an average annual rate of 24.3percent—during 1950-79, and Japan'sshare increased during almost all of theperiod. (Corresponding declines inshares tended to be largely in SouthAfrica during the fifties and early six-'ties? and largely in Australia there-of ter.) The growth in the position in Ja-pan throughout most of the period re-flected very rapid growth of the Japa-nese economy. Growth in the position
during 1963-66 may have also reflected arelaxation of exchange restrictions,while growth in subsequent years re-flected several rounds of liberalizationof restrictions, beginning in 1967 andcontinuing through the midseventies, oninward direct investment. Despite therapid growth, the position in Japan hasremained small in relation to the size ofthe Japanese economy and the impor-tance of its manufacturing sector. Thismay reflect remaining restrictive ele-ments of Japanese policies.
In Latin America, the position inmanufacturing grew at an average an-nual rate of 10.2 percent during 1950-79.Rates of change ranged from a 26-per-cent increase in 1951 to a 16-percentdecline in 1957. The 1957 decline was en-tirely due to a break in series from BEAbenchmarking. It was concentrated intwo countries—Argentina and Brazil—that had experienced extremely highrates of inflation, accompanied by peri-odic large depreciations of their curren-cies against the U.S. dollar. Betweenbenchmark surveys, the estimated dollarvalue of investment in affiliates' net cur-rent assets in these countries that weredenominated in local currencies was notadjusted downward to allow for the de-preciations. In the 1957 benchmark sur-vey, however, the investments wererevalued at the prevailing (lower) ex-change rates, thus eliminating the over-statement that had arisen in nonbench-mark years. Although in 1966—the nextbenchmark year—the position for LatinAmerica as a whole increased, signifi-cant downward revisions were againmade for Argentina and Brazil, both ofwhich continued to experience highrates of inflation and currency deprecia-tion.13
13. In 1976, new rules for translating affiliatefinancial statements from foreign currencies intoU.S. dollars went into effect (see Financial Ac-counting Standards Board Statement No. 8). Underthese rules, when exchange rate changes reduce(increase) the dollar value of certain specified bal-ance-sheet items, including net current assets, thatare denominated in local currencies, income is alsoreduced (increased) ; the position is affected onan ongoing basis through reductions (increases) inreinvested earnings of incorporated affiliates andequity and intercompany account outflows to un-incorporated affiliates. Thus, in nonbenchmark years,overstatement of additions to the position in coun-tries such as Argentina and Brazil should belargely eliminated in estimates for 1976 forward,and overstatement of the position itself should belargely eliminated once the series for 1977 forwardhas been linked to the 1977 benchmark survey.
Much of U.S. direct investment inLatin American manufacturing indus-tries probably was undertaken inresponse to numerous restrictions onforeign trade and foreign exchangetransactions in several of the largercountries. These restrictions were de-signed to induce the substitution of do-mestic production for imports, and theyincreased the profitability of servingmarkets in these countries through di-rect investment, rather than through ex-ports. Automobile manufacturing affili-ates, for example, were established inseveral of the larger countries, eventhough economies of scale might havebeen exploited more effectively throughmore centralized production withinLatin America or through exports fromthe United States.
Throughout 1950-79, the position inLatin America was concentrated in four

of the larger countries—Argentina,Brazil, Venezuela, and Mexico—whichtogether accounted for from 76 to 86percent of the position. For almost allof the period, the position was largestin Brazil and Mexico. At yearend 1979,these two countries together accountedfor 63 percent of the position.
The position in manufacturingtended to grow faster during the sixtiesand seventies than during the fifties.This quickening of growth coincidedwith the formation of two regionalgroupings—the Latin American FreeTrade Area and the Central AmericanCommon Market. However, judgingfrom the extremely high proportion ofaffiliate sales that were local (i.e., with-in each affiliate's own country of loca-tion), the growth in the position prob-ably did not reflect U.S. direct inves-tors' efforts to gain preferential accessto third-county markets within thegroupings.14 Instead, it was probablymore due to increasing rates of eco-nomic growth and shifts toward manu-facturing in the composition of outputin the larger countries. This was par-ticularly true in Brazil, where, begin-ning in about 1964, major changes invarious internal policies resulted invery rapid economic growth that con-tinued through the early seventies.
The 14.0-percent average annual rateof growth in the position in "other" de-veloping countries was the highestamong the five major areas. Despite thisrapid growth and the area's large num-ber of countries, some of which had siz-able populations, the position in thisarea remained the smallest among themajor areas throughout 1950-79. Thesmall position reflected these countries'generally low per capita incomes andcorrespondingly small markets forgoods likely to be produced by large,technologically sophisticated rnultina-
14. Of total sales by majority-owned Latin Amer-ican manufacturing affiliates in 1976, the most re-cent year for which data are available, 94 percentwere local, while only 4 percent were exports tocountries other than the United States.. (In con-trast, for the European Communities (9), a sig-nificantly smaller fraction of sales—69 percent—was local, and a significantly larger fraction—29percent —was exports to countries other than theUnited States.) See William K. Chung, "Sales byMajority-Owned Foreign Affiliates of U.S. Com-panies, 1976," SURVEY, Vol. 58 (March 1978), p. 35.
tional corporations. It also reflectedpolitical uncertainty, and language andcultural barriers to investment. Changesin the position in individual years wereerratic, particularly in the early part ofthe period.
Throughout 1950-79, the position inmanufacturing in "other" developingcountries was highly concentrated inAsian and Pacific countries outside theMiddle East; these countries' share ofthe total ranged from 73 to 86 percent.Among these countries, however, thegeographical composition of the posi-tion changed significantly. During thefifties, the Philippines, India, and Indo-nesia together accounted for roughly a90-percent share. During the sixties andseventies, this share declined, due torapid growth in investment in otherAsian and Pacific countries outside theMiddle East, and by yearend 1979, ithad fallen to about 35 percent. Invest-ment in the other countries—such asSingapore, Hong Kong, Korea, andTaiwan—grew rapidly, partly as a re-sult of policies to promote the manu-facture, by both foreign and domesticinvestors, of labor-intensive productsfor export.
Other industries
At yearend 1950, the position in"other" industries was $4.6 billion.From 1950 to 1979, the position grew atan average annual rate of 9.7 percent,and at yearend 1979 was $67.5 billion.Growth in individual years ranged from2 percent in 1960, when the expropriatedinvestments in Cuba were removed fromthe position, to 17 percent in 1974, whenthe previously mentioned Latin Ameri-can finance affiliates of U.S. petroleumcompanies were established.
Rates of growth in the position in"other" industries varied considerablyamong areas. In developed countries,the growth rate was 11.3 percent peryear; in developing countries, 7.9 per-cent ; and in "international and unallo-cated," 13.3 percent. Among developedcountries, the growth rate was 8.3 per-cent in Canada, 15.0 percent in Europe,and 14.3 percent in "other" developedcountries. Among developing countries,it was 7.3 percent in Latin America and
11.5 percent in "other" developing coun-tries.
Rates of growth in the position alsovaried considerably among industrieswithin "other" industries. The positionin finance and insurance (which con-sisted primarily of investment in financeaffiliates) and in trade (which consistedprimarily of investments in wholesaletrade affiliates) grew significantly fasterthan the position in all "other" indus-tries combined. The position in miningand smelting; transportation, communi-cation, and public utilities; and all otherindustries, including agriculture, grewsignificantly slower. The slower growthin these industries partly reflected in-creasing pressures for transportationsystems and public utilities to be oper-ated, and for exploitation of natural re-sources to be conducted, by or withincreased participation of domesticinvestors.
Throughout 1950-79, the position in"other" industries was concentrated inthree areas—Canada, Europe, and LatinAmerica. At the beginning of the period,the largest shares were accounted for byLatin America and Canada. Subse-quently, the shares of these areas de-clined, while the share of Europe in-creased. At yearend 1979, Europe hadthe largest share.
In Canada, the average annual rate ofgrowth was 8.3 percent. The rate rangedfrom a small negative rate in 1971 to apositive 16 percent in 1952. The negative1971 rate resulted from a sizable nega-tive valuation adjustment that reflectedthe reclassification, from direct to port-folio investment, of a publicly held affil-iate in finance and insurance. The affili-ate was reclassified because the owner-ship interest of U.S. investors had fallenbelow the level used to define investmentin such publicly held affiliates at thattime (see technical note). For the samereason, a negative adjustment was madein 1972 to reflect the reclassification of apublicly held mining and smelting affili-ate ; as a result, growth in the position inthat year was unusually low—1 percent.Other years in which the position grewrelatively slowly were 1961 and 1977. In1961, some investment in public utilitieswas reclassified from direct to portfolioinvestment. In 1977, slow growth was

largely attributable to net equity andintercompany account inflows from anumber of finance affiliates.
Eapid growth in the position in Can-ada in 1952, and to a lesser extent inother years in the early fifties, resultedfrom sizable equity and intercompanyaccount outflows to mining affiliates. Asubstantial portion of these outflows fi-nanced the development of new iron-ore-mining facilities.
Growth was also relatively rapid in1965 and 1966, when increases of 14 and15 percent, respectively, were regis-tered. This partly reflected a surge inpurchases by U.S. investors of securi-ties issued by publicly held financeaffiliates. These purchases, in turn, prob-ably reflected the response of U.S. in-vestors to the Interest EqualizationTax, which had been in effect sincemid-1963 and which provided a tax ex-emption for interest received fromCanadian sources. The exemption en-couraged U.S. investors to substitute se-curities issued by Canadian companiesfor securities issued by companies inother developed countries; interest re-ceipts from the latter countries weresubject to the tax.
In Europe, the 15.0-percent growthrate in the position in "other" indus-tries was the average of rates in indi-vidual years ranging from 6 percent in1952 and 1968 to 31 percent in the BEAbenchmark year 1966. The low 1952 ratewas consistent with generally lowgrowth rates in the early fifties. Thelow rate in 1968—the first year of man-datory direct investment controls—may have been due to a substitution byaffiliates of funds borrowed from for-eign sources for funds from U.S. par-ents as a source of financing.15
The high 1966 rate primarily re-flected a change in the method of classi-fying the position by country and in-dustry (see technical note). Thischange resulted in an increase in theposition in finance and insurance inEurope because of the inclusion of sub-stantial investment in European hold-ing companies through which U.S. par-ents indirectly owned affiliates in otherareas or industries. The 1966 rate was
15. This is suggested by data for majority-ownedforeign affiliates in Mantel, "Sources and Uses ofFunds," pp. 40 and 41.
the culmination of generally rapidgrowth from the late fifties through themidsixties. The average rate of growthduring 1958-65 was 21.0 percent.
The position in "other" industries inEurope tended to be largest in tradethroughout 1950-79. The position intrade mainly represented investment inwholesale trade affiliates that had beenestablished to distribute goods pro-duced by U.S. parents and by their for-eign manufacturing affiliates. The dis-tribution of goods produced by manu-facturing affiliates in the EuropeanCommunities probably increased in im-portance following the formation of theEuropean Economic Community andthe associated expansion of U.S. manu-facturing investment.
Data on the position in finance andinsurance are available only for thebenchmark years 1950, 1957, and 1966,and for 1967 forward. For 1950 andfrom 1966 forward, the position infinance and insurance was larger thanthe position in any industry excepttrade. Part of the position in financeand insurance represented investmentin affiliates that were established tofinance the operations of affiliates inother industries, such as manufacturingand trade; the position also representedinvestment in banking affiliates, and—starting in 1966—in holding companies.
In Latin America, the relatively lowgrowth rate—7.3 percent—was theaverage of very low rates in most yearsbefore the early seventies, offset by con-siderably higher rates in subsequentyears. The position grew at an averageannual rate of 4.3 percent from 1950 to1972, compared with 17.1 percent from1972 to 1979. In the earlier period, therate of growth in each year was lowerthan in any year in the later period.
The relatively slow growth in theearlier period stemmed from an initialconcentration of the position in indus-tries—such as agriculture, mining, andpublic utilities—that were returned, toa substantial extent, to local ownershipduring that period. In the case of agri-culture, slow growth may also have re-flected the secular tendency for agricul-ture to grow more slowly than other in-dustries as economic developmentprogresses.
The position in Latin America actu-ally declined in 2 years—13 percent in1960, and 2 percent in the BEA bench-mark year 1966. The decline in 1960reflected the removal from the positionof about $0.7 million of expropriated in-vestments in Cuba. These investmentswere primarily in agriculture (mainlysugar) and public utilities.
The lowest positive growth rates wererecorded in 1962 and 1964—2 percent ineach case. In 1962, slow growth or slightdeclines occurred in several industries.Growth was slow in 1964 primarily be-cause of a 19-percent decline in trans-portation, communication, and publicutilities that, in turn, reflected the saleof an electric power utility to the Brazil-ian Government.16
Reductions in the position in miningand smelting in Chile significantly de-pressed growth in the position in LatinAmerica in 1969, 1972, and 1974, al-though the effect was obscured bygrowth in other areas and industries.The reductions, which totaled about $0.6billion in the 3 years combined, reflectedthe nationalization of U.S.-owned Chil-ean copper mines. The reductions weremade through both equity and intercom-pany account inflows, which reflectedcompensation received for the national-ized properties, and valuation adjust-ments, which reflected disputed claimsthat the U.S. direct investors wrote offor transferred to a U.S. Government in-surance agency.
In the 1972-79 period, the finance andinsurance industry contributed mostsignificantly to the relatively rapid(17.1 percent) growth in the position inLatin America. The position in this in-dustry grew at an average annual rateof more than 30 percent over the 7-yearperiod. This very high growth rate waspartly attributable to the previouslymentioned establishment, in 1974, of fi-nance affiliates of U.S. petroleum com-panies, and to subsequent expansion ofinvestment in these affiliates. Investmentin other finance affiliates includingbanks and holding companies, also grew
16. The proceeds of the sale were largely interest-bearing notes, which were included in portfolio in-vestment. Valuation adjustments, rather than bal-ance-of-payments capital flows, were used to recordthis change from direct investment to portfolio
investment.

rapidly. Most of this investment was,for tax reasons, located in the Carib-bean and in Panama. Its expansion wasprobably related, among other factors,to expansion of international lendingactivity during the period.
Technical Note
Benchmark revisions
As noted in the text, estimates madefor a benchmark year by linking sampledata to the previous benchmark surveygenerally differ from data collected inthe new benchmark survey, becausemovements in the sample data do notperfectly reflect movements in the di-rect investment universe. Table 6 com-pares estimates on the two bases for thebenchmark years 1957 and 1966.
Classification of position in indirectlyowned affiliates
Before 1966, the positions in indi-rectly owned affiliates were classified inthese affiliates' own countries and indus-tries. A portion of the position in thedirectly owned affiliate through whichthe U.S. parent owned a given indi-rectly owned affiliate was attributed tothe indirect^ owned affiliate and "allo-cated" to its country and industry. After
1966, the position was, with one excep-tion, classified instead in the countryand industry of the directly owned affil-iate. The exception was that any directtransactions, such as intercompanyloans, of the U.S. parent with the indi-rectly owned affiliate continued to beclassified in that affiliate's own countryand industry. For 1966, the position wasclassified both ways for purposes ofcomparison.17 In this article, the classi-fication used for 1966 is the one de-scribed for years after 1966.
Changes in definition of direct invest-ment
From 1950 to 1961, direct investmentwas generally defined in two ways: (1)as ownership by a single U.S. investor(defined to include an associated groupof investors) of at least 25 percent ofthe voting interest in a foreign businessenterprise, or (2) ownership, by severalU.S. investors collectively, of at least 50percent of the voting interest in a pub-licly held foreign business enterprise inwhich no one U.S. investor owned asmuch as 25 percent. In a few instances,interests of slightly less than 25 percentwere included where important man-agement relationships were known to be
17. See U.S. Direct Investment Abroad: FinalData.
associated with the interests. Beginningin 1962, all ownership interests of 10-25percent were included in direct invest-ment. In 1970-71, the only two publiclyheld affiliates of any significance weredropped from the direct investmentuniverse because the 50-percent cri-terion was no longer met.
Measurement of position at historicalbook value
The position reflects U.S. direct in-vestors' net claims on their foreign af-filiates in terms of historical bookvalues, not in terms of constant dol-lars—probably the measure of greatestinterest for the analysis of long-termtrends. This limits the significance thatcan be attached to rates of growth inabsolute terms, or to small differencesin rates of growth among time periods,that may be attributable to variationsin rates of inflation or foreign exchangerates. However, comparisons of rates ofgrowth among areas or industries dur-ing a given period, or even amongperiods, usually appear to be attribut-able more to specific economic, political,or other factors than to rates of inflationor foreign exchange rates. Where thelatter two factors do seem particularlyimportant, they have been noted in thetext.

capital, is now included in fixed nonresi-dential private capital. The revisedcapital estimates also incorporated a re-vision that affected the private nonresi-dential stock estimates by broad indus-try groups for all years. Investment incentral administrative offices of manu-facturing establishments, which waspreviously included in nonfarm non-manufacturing stocks, is now includedin manufacturing stocks. A summarystatement of methodology appeared inthe April 1976 SURVEY.
Revised estimates of government-owned fixed capital in the United Statesfor 1959-79 are shown in tables 9-15.They also incorporate the revisedNIPA estimates of government pur-chases of goods and structures that weredescribed in the December 1980 SURVEY.The revisions mostly affect the estimatesstarting in 1968; estimates for 1925-58were not revised. The 1925-58 estimatesand a summary statement of method-ology appeared in the March 1980 SUR-VEY. The estimates of government-
owned fixed capital shown in tables 9-15include government-owned residentialcapital, which is also included andshown separately in the tables on resi-dential capital.
A detailed statement of methodologyfor fixed capital stock in the UnitedStates will appear in a forthcoming vol-ume that will present the stock esti-mates in greater detail. This volume isexpected to be available for purchase inMay 1981.
