Industry Econ omic Accounts Information Guide

The Industry Economics Division (IED) of the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) prepares and publishes a variety of economic

statistics on industries. Specifically, it prepares the input-output accounts, the gross domestic product by industry accounts, and

two satellite accounts--one for transportation and one for travel and tourism. As outlined below, the data are published in the

Survey of Current Business (SCB) or other publications.

1. Annual Industry Accounts

The annual industry accounts are a set of integrated estimates that include the GDP-by-industry and the annual input-output

accounts. These accounts provide detailed information on the changing structure of the U.S. economy, including the annual

contributions of private industries and government to the Nation's GDP and the annual flows of goods and services used in the

production processes of industries.

Advance estimates of industry aggregates are released approximately four months after the end of the reference year, followed by

revised, more detailed estimates later in the year.

Industry Economic Accounts Information Guide

1. Overview and uses

Overview

The Industry Economics Division (IED) prepares estimates of value added by industry. Value added is a measure of the

contribution of each private industry and of government to the Nation's GDP. It is defined as an industry's gross output (which

consists of sales or receipts and other operating income, commodity taxes, and inventory change) minus its intermediate inputs

(which consists of energy, raw materials, semi finished goods, and services that are purchased from domestic industries or from

foreign sources).

IED prepares estimates of value added for 61 private industries and for 4 government classifications--Federal general government

and government enterprises and State and local general government and government enterprises. The estimates by industry are

available in current dollars. These estimates are also presented as a percentage of GDP to indicate an industry's share of, or its

relative size in, the U.S. economy.

The current-dollar estimates are derived from the estimates of gross domestic income, which consists of three components-the

compensation of employees, gross operating surplus, and taxes on production and imports, less subsidies.

Real, or inflation-adjusted, estimates are also prepared by IED. The growth rates in real GDP and the contributions to the change

in real GDP are available by industry group.

IED also prepares detailed estimates of the components of income that underlie the current-dollar estimates of value added, the

current-dollar and real estimates of gross output and of intermediate inputs, and the price measures for value added, for gross

output, and for intermediate inputs.

Uses of the accounts

The estimates of value added by industry can be used to examine changes in the structure of the U.S. economy and the

importance of an industry and its contribution to GDP.

Specifically, the estimates can be used

To identify changes in labor and capital shares

To study production, capacity, and productivity across industries

To compare price changes across industries

B. Input-Output (1-0) Accounts

1. Overview and uses

Overview

The input-output (I-O) accounts show how industries interact; specifically, they show how industries provide input to, and use

output from, each other to produce gross domestic product. These accounts provide detailed information on the flows of the goods

and services that make up the production processes of industries.

The annual accounts for 1998-2002 are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and are presented at

the 65 industry level of detail, including 61 private and 4 government industries. They are consistent with the 2003 comprehensive

revision of the national income and product accounts (NIPAs) as well as the GDP-by-industry accounts.

In addition, the historic annual accounts for 1996-1999 are available in the 1987 Standard Industry Classification (SIC) system.

Note that t hese historic accounts are not consistent with the NAICS-based estimates for 1997-2002, nor are they consistent with

the 2003 comprehensive revision of the NIPAs.

The 1-0 accounts are presented in six tables: A make table, a use table, a direct requirements table, and three total requirements

tables.

The make table shows the commodities that are produced by each industry. The use table shows the inputs to industry production

and the commodities that are consumed by final users.

The four requirements tables are derived from the make and the use tables. The direct requirements table shows the amount of a

commodity that is required by an industry to produce a dollar of the industry's output. The three total requirements tables show

the production that is required, directly and indirectly, from each industry and each commodity to deliver a dollar of a commodity

to final users.

Uses of the accounts

The annual 1-0 accounts can be used to study changes in structure of the U.S. economy and the relative importance of an industry

to all other industries. The accounts are an important tool for analysis because they show the production functions of individual

industries and the interactions among producers and between producers and final users in the economy.

Specifically, these accounts can be used

To study production capacity and productivity across industries

To estimate the direct and indirect effects of changes in final uses on industries and commodities; for example, to estimate

A. Benchmark Input-Output (1-0)

1. Overview and uses

Overview

The Industry Economics Division (IED) prepares benchmark input-output (1-0) accounts for years ending in 2 and 7, which are

based on detailed data from the quinquennial economic censuses that are conducted by the Bureau of the Census. They are

published at the summary level and at the detailed level.

The benchmark accounts show how industries interact at the detailed level; specifically, they show how approximately 500

industries provide input to, and use output from, each other to produce gross domestic product. These accounts provide detailed

information on the flows of the goods and services that make up the production processes of industries.

The 1997 benchmark I-O accounts use a new classification system that is based on the North American Industry Classification

System (NAICS); the 1992 and earlier benchmark accounts are based on the Standard Industry Classification (SIC).

The 1997 Benchmark 1-0 Accounts Tables

The 1997 benchmark 1-0 accounts are presented in the standard make and use tables and several supplementarytables. The

supplementary tables consist of make and use tables that are based on the standard tables, four requirements tables, and bridge

tables.

Standard tables

The standard make and use tables are based on NAICS. They are constructed before the redefinitions of selected secondary

products. These standard tables provide data in a way that is consistent with the GDP-by-industry accounts and the gross state

product accounts and with other industry data that are based on information collected on the NAICS basis.

System (NAICS); the 1992 and earlier benchmark accounts are based on the Standard Industry Classification (SIC). 

The 1997 Benchmark I-O Accounts Tables 

The 1997 benchmark I-O accounts are presented in the standard make and use tables and several supplementary tables. The 

supplementary tables consist of make and use tables that are based on the standard tables, four requirements tables, and bridge 

tables. 

Standard tables 

The standard make and use tables are based on NAICS. They are constructed before the redefinitions of selected secondary 

products. These standard tables provide data in a way that is consistent with the GDP-by-industry accounts and the gross state 

product accounts and with other industry data that are based on information collected on the NArcS basis.

Industry Economic Accounts Information Guide

The make table shows the commodities that are produced by each industry. The use table shows the inputs to industry production

and the commodities that are consumed by final users.

Supplementary tables

The supplementary make and use tables are based on the standard make and use tables. They are constructed after the

redefinitions of selected secondary products. The estimates in the supplementary make and use tables are used to calculate four

requirements tables--commodity-by-industry direct requirements, commodity-by-commodity total requirements,

industry-by-commodity total requirements, and industry-by-industry total requirements--that quantify the direct and indirect

effects of changes in final demand on the economy.

The direct requirements table shows the amount of a commodity that is required by an industry to produce a dollar of the

industry's output. The three total requirements tables show the production that is required, directly and indirectly, from each

industry and each commodity to deliver a dollar of a commodity to final users.

These requirements tables are an important analytical tool because they show the interdependence among the producers and

consumers in the economy. Using these tables, analysts can estimate the direct and indirect effects of changes in final uses on

industries and commodities. For example, these tables can be used to determine the economic impact of a disaster or to compute

the effect on output of a shift in demand from domestic to imported goods.

Three additional supplementary tables serve as bridges between the I-0 estimates and estimates in the NIPAs. The first bridge

table covers the I-O commodity composition of NIPA personal consumption expenditures. The second table covers the 1-0

commodity composition of NIPA private equipment and software expenditures. The third table reconciles the I-0 estimates of

exports and imports with those in the NIPAs.

For more information on standard and supplementary tables see "Technical Note" and the box "Treatment of Secondary Products"

in "Benchmark Input-Output Accounts of the United States 1997 ," Survey of Current Business, December 2002.

Uses of the accounts

The benchmark I-O accounts can be used to study changes in structure of the U.S. economy or as a framework for preparing other

economic statistics. The accounts are an important tool for analysis because they show the detailed production functions of

individual industries and the interactions among producers and between producers and final users in the economy. Specifically,

these accounts can be used

To estimate the direct and indirect effects of changes in final uses on industries and commodities; for example, to estimate

the effects of a strike or a natural disaster on the economy, or, supplemented with additional information, to estimate the

effects of an increase in U.S. exports on employment

To provide detail that is essential in determining weights for price indexes, such as the producer price index that is compiled

by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and quantity indexes, such as the quantity index for gross domestic product by industry

compiled by IED

To provide the basis for benchmarking the NIPAs every 5 years

To provide a framework and data for the preparation of other economic statistics, such as the transportation satellite

accounts and the travel and tourism satellite accounts, both of which are prepared by IED

B. Capital Flow

1. Overview and uses

Overview

The capital flow table shows the destination of the new capital investment in equipment, software, and structures by the industries

that purchase or lease these capital goods and services. The use table from the benchmark 1-0 accounts shows the materials and

services input requirements for each industry. The capital flow table shows the structure of flows of new capital goods and services

for each industry.

The 1997 capital flow table is the seventh in a series of tables that BEA has produced. The earlier tables supplemented the

benchmark 1-0 accounts for 1963, 1967, 1972, 1977, 1982, and 1992. The 1997 capital flow table provides the most detailed view

of investment by commodity and by using industry, showing flows of 180 commodities to 123 private sector industries.

The following major changes have been introduced in the 1997 capital flow table:

The data are now presented on the basis of the 1997 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

More detail is now available in the services industries and the information sector (NAICS 51) that represent a large and

growing market for information technology and other high-tech capital.

The table now includes software investment, a change that was adopted in the NIPAs in 1999 and that was incorporated

into the 1997 benchmark 1-0 accounts.

Uses of the accounts

The capital flow table enables many types of analysis that are not possible using only the 1-0 table. Among these are:

The market analysis for capital goods

The examination of the effects of information technology investment on productivity

III. Satellite Industry Accounts

A. U.S. Travel and Tourism Satellite Accounts

1. Overview and uses

Overview

The U.S. Travel and Tourism Satellite Accounts (TTSAs) show a detailed picture of the travel and tourism industries and their role

in the U.S. economy. These accounts are developed by the Industry Economics Division (IED), with the support of the Tourism

Industries Office of the International Trade Administration, in order to more accurately measure the contribution of travel and

tourism to the economy.

These accounts present estimates of the expenditures by tourists, or visitors, for 24 types of goods and services and estimates of

the output of 25 travel and tourism industries. The accounts also present estimates of the income generated by travel and tourism

and estimates of employment in the travel and tourism industries.

The TTSAs are extensions of the U.S. input-output accounts and are consistent with the newly integrated annual industry accounts.

The methods that are used to prepare the TTSAs are consistent with the methods used to estimate U.S. gross domestic product

(GDP), national income, and other national economic measures.

The TTSAs show

The sales of goods and services to travelers

The total sales of travel industries, like airlines

The value added by tourism industries

The employment and employee compensation accounted for by the travel and tourism industries

Uses of the accounts

The TTSAs can be used to determine the size of tourism and the components of travel and tourism. Specifically , these accounts can

be used

To determine the shares of the goods and services that were sold to visitors and the shares that were sold to local residents

To assess the effects of travel and tourism on the U.S. economy

To examine the relationship among the travel and tourism industries

To determine the expenditures of tourists

To compare travel and tourism industries to other manufacturing and services industries

2. Availability of data

In order to provide more timely information, the accounts have been expanded to provide quarterly estimates of the sales of goods

and services to travelers and employment attributable to those tourism sales. (These estimates are based on the estimates of

personal consumption expenditures from the national income and product accounts.)

B. U.S. Transportation Satellite Accounts

1. Overview and uses

Overview

The U.S. transportation satellite accounts (TSAs) show a detailed picture of transportation services and their role in the U.S.

economy. These accounts were jointly developed by the Industry Economics Division (IED) and by the Bureau of Transportation

Statistics in the U.S. Department of Transportation in order to more accurately measure the contribution of transportation activities

to the U.S. economy.

These accounts present estimates of both transportation services that are hired and transportation services that a firm provides for

its own use (own account). The estimates are presented in dollars rather than in the more usual physical units.

The TSAs consist of four tables--a make table, a use table, a direct requirements table, and a total requirements table. These

tables are based on the input-output tables, but they have been expanded to include own-account transportation services as a

commodity and as an industry.

The make table shows the commodities that are produced by each industry. The use table shows the factors of that

production--the commodities, or intermediate inputs, and the labor and capital, or value added--and the commodities that are

consumed by final users. The direct requirements table shows the amount of a commodity that is required by an industry to

produce a dollar of the industry's output. The total requirements table shows the production that is required, directly and

indirectly, from each industry to deliver a dollar of a commodity to final users.

Uses of the accounts

The TSAs can be used to determine the size of the transportation activities in the U.S. economy and the contribution of

transportation to gross output and gross domestic product. Specifically, the accounts can be used

To identify the industries that account for the most transportation activities

To estimate the proportion of services that are hired and that are provided by firms (own-account services)

To identify the industries that are the biggest users of transportation services

To estimate the share of transportation services in the production costs of these industries

To estimate the shares of government spending and business spending for transportation-related structures and equipment,

such as highways and trucks

B. U.S. Transportation Satellite Accounts 

1. Overview and uses 

Overview 

The U.S. transportation satellite accounts (TSAs) show a detailed picture of transportation services and their role in the U.S. 

economy. These accounts were jointly developed by the Industry Economics Division (lED) and by the Bureau of Transportation 

Statistics in the U.S. Department of Transportation in order to more accurately measure the contribution of transportation activities 

to the U.S. economy. 

These accounts present estimates of both transportation services that are hired and transportation services that a firm provides for 

its own use (own account). The estimates are presented in dollars rather than in the more usual physical units. 

The TSAs consist of four tables--a make table, a use table, a direct requirements table, and a total requirements table. These 

tables are based on the input-output tables, but they have been expanded to include own-account transportation services as a 

commodity and as an industry. 

The make table shows the commodities that are produced by each industry. The use table shows the factors of that 

production--the commodities, or intermediate inputs, and the labor and capital, or value added--and the commodities that are 

consumed by final users. The direct requirements table shows the amount of a commodity that is required by an industry to 

produce a dollar of the industry's output. The total requirements table shows the production that is required, directly and 

indirectly, from each industry to deliver a dollar of a commodity to final users. 

Uses of the accounts 

The TSAs can be used to determine the size of the transportation activities in the U.S. economy and the contribution of 

transportation to gross output and gross domestic product. Specifically, the accounts can be used 

To identify the industries that account for the most transportation activities 

To estimate the proportion of services that are hired and that are provided by firms (own-account services) 

To identify the industries that are the biggest users of transportation services 

To estimate the share of transportation services in the production costs of these industries 

To estimate the shares of government spending and business spending for transportation-related structures and equipment, 

such as highways and trucks
