The first part ofthis article wasprepared by DanielLarkins, Larry R.Moran, and RalphW. Morris; Larkinsprepared thesection oncorporate profits;and David T.Dobbs preparedthe section on thegovernment sector.
7 / s. PRODUCTION and U.S. demand both in-C-t. creased moderately in the first quarter of
1992 (chart i and table i). Real gross domesticproduct (GDP), a measure of goods and servicesproduced in the United States, increased 2.4 per-cent; real gross domestic purchases, a measureof goods and services purchased by U.S. resi-dents, increased 2.5 percent.1 As explained inthe "Revisions" section of this article, these "pre-liminary" estimates (as well as the "preliminary"estimates of the price indexes for GDP and grossdomestic purchases) are somewhat higher thanthe "advance" estimates issued a month ago.
The first-quarter increase in real GDP was largerthan the increases registered in the three preced-ing quarters. All of these increases were smallerthan the increases that are typical of a businesscycle recovery. The level of real GDP in the firstquarter was slightly below its level at the peak ofthe business cycle in the third quarter of 1990;in other business cycles since 1960, real GDP hadsurpassed its previous peak within three quartersof the cyclical trough.
i. Quarterly estimates in the national income and product accounts areexpressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, and quarterly changes are differ-ences between these rates. Quarter-to-quarter percent changes are annualized.Real, or constant-dollar, estimates are expressed in 1987 dollars and are basedon 1987 weights.
Looking Ahead...
National Income and Product Accounts Revision. Re-vised estimates for the 3-year period beginning with the firstquarter of 1989 will be presented in the July SURVEY. Selecteddata will be available as of July 30.
Foreign Direct Investment in the United States. Thefirst results of joint projects that link BE A data for foreign-owned U.S. companies with detailed establishment data fromthe Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics will bereleased by the three agencies on June 24. Detailed informationfrom the BEA-Census Bureau link project will be published inForeign Direct Investment in the United States: EstablishmentData for1987, which will be available shortly thereafter from theU.S., Government Printing Office; ordering information willappear in an upcoming issue of the SURVEY.

larly strong, increasing more in the first quarterthan in the preceding three quarters combined.The first-quarter increase was almost twice as bigas the increase in gross domestic purchases; thedifference reflected a sharp downswing in inven-tory investment. Each of the major componentsof final sales contributed to the first-quarter in-crease, with personal consumption expendituresaccounting for more than three-fourths of it.
Personal consumption expenditures
Real personal consumption expenditures (PCE)increased 5.4 percent in the first quarter, thelargest increase in more than 5 years, after nochange in the fourth quarter and an increase
of 2.3 percent in the third (table 2). As a re-sult of the first-quarter increase, the level of PCEwas i.o percent above its level at the peak ofthe business cycle. The large increase reflecteda jump in expenditures for durable goods, asizable increase in expenditures for nondurablegoods, and a modest increase in expenditures forservices.
Real disposable personal income increased 3.7percent in the first quarter, the largest increasein 2 years, after small increases in the third and.fourth quarters. However, other factors that un-derlie consumer spending remained weak. Theunemployment rate rose to 7.2 percent in the firstquarter, and the Index of Consumer Sentiment

(prepared by the University of Michigan's Sur-vey Research Center) slid further, although it didturn up late in the quarter.
Expenditures for durable goods jumped 18.4percent in the first quarter after dropping 5.7 per-cent in the fourth. First-quarter increases werewidespread, with the largest being in new foreigncars, used cars, consumer electronics, and kitchenand other household appliances.
Expenditures for nondurable goods increased5.4 percent in the first quarter after decreas-ing 3.9 percent in the fourth. Again, increaseswere widespread; the only major component thatdecreased was energy, reflecting a decrease ingasoline and oil.
Expenditures for services increased 2.5 percentin the first quarter after increasing 3.7 percent inthe fourth. "Other" services accounted for thefirst-quarter increase; within "other services," thelargest increase was in brokerage commissions.
Nonresidential fixed investmentReal nonresidential fixed investment increased1.7 percent in the first quarter after decreasingfor five consecutive quarters (table 3). Its first-quarter level was 8.6 percent below its level at thebusiness cycle peak.
The factors that are associated with investmentspending have been mixed in recent quarters. Ca-pacity utilization rates have been falling but arehigher than usual for this stage of the businesscycle. Real final sales to domestic purchasersand corporate profits increased modestly untilthe first quarter, when they increased sharply.
The yield on new high-grade corporate bonds hasbeen decreasing for more than a year. The lat-est Census Bureau survey of plans for plant andequipment expenditures, released in early June,reported that real spending in 1992 is expected tobe 6.0 percent higher than in 1991.
Structures decreased 3.0 percent in the firstquarter after decreasing 7.8 percent in the fourth.The first-quarter decrease is the sixth consecu-tive decrease, but it is considerably smaller thanthe preceding ones. A decrease in nonresiden-tial buildings was more than accounted for bya decrease in commercial buildings; industrialbuildings increased. The decrease in commercialbuildings, in turn, was another in a long series ofdecreases that have left commercial buildings atits lowest level in 13 years. Mining exploration,shafts, and wellsmostly oil wellsposted an-other decrease; utilities and "other" structuresswung up.
Producers' durable equipment increased 3.7percent in the first quarter after decreasing1.6 percent in the fourth quarter. Infor-mation processing and related equipment in-creased (for the fourth consecutive quarter) and"other" equipment swung up, but industrial andtransportation equipment decreased.
Residential investment
Real residential investment increased 8.4 percentin the first quarter after increasing 12.3 percentin the fourth quarter and 10.9 percent in thethird. Despite these increases, residential invest-ment in the first quarter was still 2.9 percent

below its level at the peak of the business cy-cle. The first-quarter increase reflected increasesin single-family construction and in the "other"component of residential investment; multifamilyconstruction decreased for the nth consecutivequarter.2
Single family .construction has increasedstrongly during the past three quarters. The in-creases reflected a turnaround in single-familyhousing starts; starts increased 325,000, to 1.06million (seasonally adjusted annual rate), dur-ing the last four quarters after decreasing 350,000during the four preceding quarters (chart 2).
The first-quarter increase in the "other" com-ponent was largely attributable to brokers' com-missions on house sales. Sales of new housesincreased 4.6 percent, and sales of existing homesincreased 2.9 percent. These increases partly re-flected low mortgage rates; the rate in the firstquarter was only marginally higher than that inthe fourth quarter, which was the lowest rate in15 years (chart 3).
Multifamily construction decreased muchmore in the first quarter than in the fourth andis at its lowest level in more than 30 years.
Inventory investment
Real inventory investmentthat is, the changein business inventoriesfell $26.0 billion in thefirst quarter, as business inventories decreased$18.4 billion after increasing $7.6 billion in the

fourth quarter (table 4). Inventory investmenthad increased $7.5 billion in the fourth quarter.
The first-quarter downswing in inventory in-vestment was accounted for by nonfarm inven-tories, which decreased $18.1 billion in the firstquarter after increasing $9.2 billion in the fourth.During the four preceding quarters, nonfarminventories had decreased an average of $22.6billion.
Manufacturing inventories decreased $9.6 bil-lion in the first quarter, the fourth consecutivequarter of inventory reduction. Inventories ofdurables decreased substantially, continuing a se-ries of decreases; in particular, inventories ofprimary metals, nonelectrical machinery, andtransportation equipment other than motor ve-hicles have decreased sharply over the past severalquarters. Inventories of nondurables increasedslightly more in the first quarter than in thefourth.
Retail trade inventories decreased $13.3 billionin the first quarter after increasing in the two pre-ceding quarters. Inventories of retailers of bothdurable and nondurable goods decreased in thefirst quarter after increasing in the fourth. Withindurables, inventories held by retail auto dealerscontinued to be drawn down.

durable goods were up by about the same amountas in the fourth quarter. Inventories of non-merchant wholesalers decreased less in the firstquarter than in the fourth.
Farm inventories decreased $0.3 billion in thefirst quarter after decreasing $1.6 billion in thefourth. Inventories of crops decreased in bothquarters; the first-quarter decrease reflected pick-ups in open-market sales and in defaults onCommodity Credit Corporation loans.3 Invento-ries of livestock increased after a slight decrease;the upswing reflected weak open-market sales.
Reflecting the first-quarter reduction in inven-tories and the pickup in final sales of domesticbusinesses, the ratio of nonfarm business inven-tories to final sales fell to 2.53; in the preceding2 years, it fluctuated in the narrow range of 2.56to 2.61.
3. As explained on page 30 of the September 1991 SURVEY, a default ona Commodity Credit Corporation loan is treated as a reduction in farminventories and as an increase in Federal Government nondefense purchases.
Net exports
Real net exports decreased slightly in the firstquarter after increasing in the fourth quarter anddecreasing in the third (table 5). Its first-quarterlevel was $43.4 billion above its level at the peak ofthe business cycle. The first-quarter decrease re-flected a o.p-percent decrease in exports that waspartly offset by a 0.2-percent decrease in imports.
Merchandise exports decreased 0.3 percent inthe first quarter after increasing 14.1 percent inthe fourth. Agricultural exports increased muchless in the first quarter than in the two preced-ing quarters. Nonagricultural exports decreased0.8 percent after increasing 12.9 percent; aboutone-half of the downswing was due to exports ofcapital goods except autos. Exports of servicesdecreased 2.7 percent, about twice as much as inthe fourth quarter.
Merchandise imports increased 0.5 percent inthe first quarter after increasing 0.8 percent in thefourth. Imports of petroleum products swung

from a sharp decrease to a slight increase. Im-ports of nonpetroleum products increased lessthan in the fourth quarter; the slowdown wasmore than accounted for by imports of consumergoods except autos. Imports of services decreased3.8 percent after increasing 9.0 percent.
Government purchases
Real government purchases increased 3.1 percentin the first quarter after decreasing in the threepreceding quarters (table 6). Its first-quarter levelwas 0.3 percent above its level at the peak of thebusiness cycle. Federal Government purchasesincreased in the first quarter after decreasing inthe preceding two quarters. State and local gov-ernment purchases increased considerably morein the first quarter than in the fourth.
Federal defense purchases decreased 2.4 percentin the first quarter after decreasing 15.7 percentin the fourth. The first-quarter decrease was ac-counted for by purchases of military hardware,largely aircraft and missiles, and by purchases ofnondurable goods, particularly ammunition.
Federal nondefense purchases increased 13.2percent in the first quarter after decreasing 7.8percent in the fourth. Both ccc inventory changeand "other" Federal nondefense purchases con-tributed to the upswing. The level of cccinventories decreased $0.2 billion after decreasing$2.0 billion in the fourth quarter and $0.1 bil-lion in the third. "Other" nondefense purchasesincreased 5.5 percent in the first quarter after de-creasing 0.8 percent in the fourth; all categoriesexcept structures contributed to the first-quarterincrease.
State and local government purchases increased3.9 percent after increasing 0.8 percent. Thepickup was traceable to purchases of structures,which registered its largest increase in 2 years;
most types of structures contributed to the in-crease, but the increase in highway constructionwas especially large.
Revisions
The preliminary estimate of real GDP growthin the first quarter, 2.4 percent, is 0.4 per-centage point higher than last month's advanceestimate, which was based on less complete in-formation (table 7). Real inventory investmentwas revised up $7.7 billion, more than account-ing for the revision in real GDP. The inventoryrevision primarily reflected the incorporationof newly available data for March on invento-ries of manufacturers, merchant wholesalers, andnonauto retailers. Nonresidential fixed invest-ment was revised up $4.0 billion, and residentialinvestment was revised down $3.1 billion. Netexports was revised down $0.8 billion on thebasis of newly available data on merchandisetrade for March; exports were revised down$2.7 billion and imports were revised up $1.9billion.
For real gross domestic purchases, the prelim-inary estimate of a 2.5-percent increase is 0.8percentage point higher than the advance esti-mate. The upward revision in gross domesticpurchases was larger than that in GDP becausegross domestic purchases does not include netexports.
The increase in the fixed-weighted price in-dex for gross domestic purchases was revisedup 0.4 percentage point, and the increase inthe fixed-weighted price index for GDP wasrevised up 0.3 percentage point. These revi-sions, which are somewhat larger than usual,mainly reflect newly available data on prices ofstructures.

Corporate Profits
Preliminary estimates show that profits fromcurrent productionprofits before tax plus in-ventory valuation adjustment (IVA) and capi-tal consumption adjustment (ccAdj)increased$31.4 billion in the first quarter of 1992 (table 8),the largest increase in almost 5 years. In thefourth quarter of 1991, profits had increased $9.5billion. For nonfinancial corporations, profitsfrom domestic operations increased $21.9 billionafter increasing $8.9 billion; most of the first-quarter increase was attributable to a sharp jumpin unit profits that resulted from higher unitprices and lower unit labor and nonlabor costs.For financial corporations, profits from domestic

operations increased $6.7 billion after decreasing$1.4 billion. Profits from the rest of the worldincreased $2.9 billion after increasing $2.0 billion.
Cash flow from current production, a profits-related measure of internally generated fundsavailable to corporations for investment, in-creased $21.2 billion after increasing $13.3 billion.The increase in cash flow lifted cash flow as apercentage of nonresidential fixed investment to84.8 percent from 81.1 percent, despite an increasein first-quarter nonresidential fixed investment.
Profits by industry.Profits before tax (PBT) withIVA is the best measure of industry profits be-cause estimates of the CCAdj by industry arenot available. According to this measure, profitsarising from domestic operations increased $17.1billion after increasing $1.5 billion. Both non-financial and financial corporations contributedto the first-quarter increase. Within nonfinan-cial, manufacturing and the transportation andpublic utilities group contributed about equallyto the first-quarter increase; profits in trade wereunchanged from the fourth quarter.

crease in PBT is attributable to changes in the IVAand in the ccAdj. These adjustments convert thevalue of depreciation and inventory withdrawalsreported by business to a basis consistent withthe national income and product accounts. Inthe first quarter, the IVA decreased $3.6 billion,and the ccAdj increased $11.5 billion.
Government Sector
The fiscal position of the government sector de-teriorated in the first quarter of 1992, as thecombined deficit of the Federal Government andof State and local governments increased $43.1billion, to $246.0 billion (table 9). The FederalGovernment deficit increased $41.4 billion, andthe State and local surplus decreased $1.7 billion.
FederalThe Federal Government deficit increasedto $284.5 billion, as expenditures increasedconsiderably more than receipts.
Receipts increased $5.3 billion in the first quar-ter after increasing $1.6 billion in the fourth. Theacceleration was attributable to an upturn in cor-porate profits tax accruals and to a pickup incontributions for social insurance.
Corporate profits tax accruals increased $6.4billion after declining $1.8 billion; the upturnreflected the pattern of corporate profits. Contri-butions for social insurance increased $8.6 billionafter increasing $1.7 billion; the first-quarter in-crease was boosted by the following four programchanges that became effective January i, 1992:Increases in maximum taxable wages for socialsecurity ($1.8 billion), increases in maximum tax-able earnings for social security contributions bythe self-employed ($1.1 billion), an increase inthe monthly medicare insurance premiums from$29.90 to $31.80 ($0.8 billion), and an increasein the contribution for military retirement ($0.9billion).
Personal tax and nontax receipts declined $8.0billion after declining $0.9 billion; in the firstquarter, a March revision to the income-tax-withholding tables reduced receipts by $8.3 bil-lion. Indirect business tax and nontax paymentsdeclined $1.6 billion after increasing $2.5 billion;the turnaround was largely attributable to cus-toms duties, which declined $1.8 billion afterincreasing $1.8 billion.
Expenditures increased $46.7 billion after in-creasing $34.5 billion. The acceleration wasattributable to an upswing in purchases and to apickup in transfer payments to persons.

SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS May 1992 9
Purchases increased $9.2 billion after decreas-ing $12.9 billion, reflecting upswings in bothnational defense and nondefense purchases. De-fense purchases increased $3.2 billion after de-creasing $11.3 billion. The first-quarter increasewas more than accounted for by a $3.3 billion Jan-uary pay raise for military and civilian employees;tiie large decline in the fourth quarter reflecteda sharp winding down in most types of militarypurchases following the Desert Storm buildup.Nondefense purchases increased $6.0 billion af-ter decreasing $1.7 billion. The turnaround wasattributable to the following: The Commod-ity Credit Corporation inventory change, whichincreased $1.6 billion after declining $3.2 bil-lion; purchases by the National Aeronautics andSpace Administration, which increased $1.1 bil-lion after declining $i.o billion; and a Januaryemployee pay raise, which added $2.0 billion tothe first-quarter increase.
Transfer payments to persons increased $33.8billion after increasing $13.5 billion. The first-quarter increase was boosted by the following:$12.9 billion for cost-of-living increases in so-cial security and other programs, $10.6 billionfor benefits under the Emergency UnemploymentCompensation program enacted in November1991, $2.8 billion for an increase in earned incomecredit payments, and $1.3 billion for a speedup inveterans life insurance dividends. These increaseswere slightly offset by a $1.7 billion decline inpayments to Japanese-Americans interned duringWorld War n.
Transfer payments to foreigners increased $7.6billion after increasing $8.2 billion. Both in-creases reflected continued declines$3.8 billionin the fourth quarter and $12.8 billion in thefirstin contributions from U.S. coalition part-ners for Operation Desert Storm expenses. Thesecontributions, which in the NIPA'S are treated asnegative transfer payments to foreigners, have de-clined steadily since peaking in the first quarterof 1991. Other transfer payments to foreignersdeclined $5.2 billion in the first quarter.
Grants-in-aid to State and local governmentsincreased $1.1 billion after increasing $10.1 bil-lion; the deceleration was largely attributableto medicaid grants, which decreased $2.1 bil-lion after increasing $6.8 billion. Net inter-est paid decreased $3.8 billion after increasing$3.5 billion, reflecting lower first-quarter inter-est rates. Subsidies less the current surplusof government enterprises declined $1.2 billionafter an increase of $12.2 billion; the down-swing was attributable primarily to agriculturalsubsidies.
State and localThe State and local government surplus decreasedto $38.5 billion, as expenditures increased morethan receipts.
Receipts increased $12.0 billion in the firstquarter after increasing $18.4 billion in the fourth.The slowdown was attributable to Federal grants-in-aid, which increased $1.1 billion after increas-ing $10.1 billion, and to personal tax and nontaxreceipts, which increased $0.7 billion after in-creasing $4.2 billion. In the first quarter, personaltax and nontax receipts included some small re-ductions in income-tax-withholding schedules; inthe fourth quarter, they included income taxincreases in Connecticut and New York City.Indirect business tax and nontax accruals in-creased $7.5 billion after increasing $4.1 billion;sales taxes picked up, reflecting rapid growthin retail sales. Corporate profits tax accru-als increased $2.1 billion after declining $0.4billion; the upturn reflected the pattern of cor-porate profits. Contributions for social insur-ance increased $0.6 billion after increasing $0.3billion.
Expenditures increased $13.7 billion after in-creasing $10.0 billion. Purchases increased $7.7billion after increasing $3.3 billion; purchases ofstructures (particularly highways) accounted formost of the acceleration. All other expenditurecategories combined increased $6.0 billion afterincreasing $6.7 billion. SI
