I. U.S. DIRECT INVESTMENT ABROAD (USDIA)

A. Direct Investment Position and Related Balance of Payments Flows

Preliminary annual estimates are published in the summer of the year following the year covered; revised estimates are published a year later. Written analyses of data for the most recent year are based on preliminary estimates. Prior to 1996, quarterly estimates of the flows (but not the position) were published, in limited detail, in the U.S. international transactions articles in the March, June, September, and December Survey of Current Business (SCB) issues. Beginning in 1996, these articles appeared in the April, July, October, and January SCB.

From 1985 to 1993, summary estimates of the position and a brief analysis of current developments appeared in the June SCB as part of the article on the U.S. international investment position (see section IV.A). In 1994 and 1995, these estimates and analyses appeared in a separate article in the June SCB. Detailed tables on the position and related capital and income flows appeared in the August SCB (July in 1993). In earlier years, both detailed tables and an analysis usually had appeared in the August SCB. Beginning in 1996, summary estimates of the position and analyses appeared in an article in the July SCB, and detailed tables on the position and related capital and income flows appeared in the September SCB.

Balance of payments and position data for outward direct investment
Contains quarterly estimates for financial flows and income by country and by industry and annual country by industry estimates for positions, financial flows, and income.

Visit our interactive system to display and download customizable time series tables and charts using annual U.S. direct investment abroad balance of payments and direct investment position data back to 1982.

Past estimates for one or more years are revised each year, sometimes because the series have been "rebenchmarked" to a more recent benchmark, or census, of direct investment.

B. Operations of U.S. Parent Companies and Their Foreign Affiliates

Data are from benchmark and annual sample surveys of U.S. direct investment abroad. The surveys collect operating and financial data of U.S. companies and their foreign affiliates, such as balance sheets, income statements, employment and compensation of employees, trade in goods, and sales of goods and services. Published estimates are derived from the reported sample data. Benchmark surveys covered 1982, 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004, and 2009. Prior to 2009, non-benchmark surveys covered nonbank affiliates of nonbank parents. Data are preliminary when first published; revised data are published a year later.

D. Benchmark Surveys and Related Articles

Benchmark surveys are periodic surveys of the universe of U.S. direct investment abroad. In addition to the direct investment position and related flows of capital, income, and royalties and license fees, they cover a wide range of operating and financial data of U.S. parent companies and their foreign affiliates, such as balance sheets, income statements, external financing, employment and compensation of employees, trade in goods, and sales of goods and services.

Analytical SCB articles that draw on universe data from the benchmark surveys, or on matched sample data from the 1966 benchmark survey and the 1970 mini-census, are listed below.

B. Operations of U.S. Affiliates of Foreign Companies

Data are from benchmark and sample surveys of foreign direct investment in the United States. The surveys collect financial and operating data of the U.S. affiliates of foreign direct investors, such as balance sheets, income statements, employment and compensation of employees, trade in goods, and selected data by State. The first annual survey covered 1977. Benchmark surveys cover 1987, 1992, 1997, 2002, and 2007. Prior to 2007, non-benchmark surveys covered nonbank affiliates of nonbank parents. Data are preliminary when first published; revised data are published a year later. Articles published before those listed below presented only reported sample data. Other than for benchmark years, the listed articles present universe estimates derived by linking the sample data reported in the annual survey to the preceding benchmark survey.

Comprehensive Data

E. Benchmark Surveys and Related Articles

Benchmark surveys are periodic surveys of the universe of foreign direct investment in the United States. In addition to the direct investment position and related capital and income flows, they cover a wide range of operating and financial data of U.S. affiliates of foreign direct investors, such as balance sheets, income statements, external financing, employment and compensation of employees, trade in goods, and selected data by State.

Analytical articles that draw on data from the benchmark surveys are:

IV. RELATED ARTICLES AND PUBLICATIONS

A. The International Investment Position of the United States

From June 1985 through June 1993 SCB, the articles on the U.S. international investment position include separate, brief analyses of the direct investment positions (measured at historical cost) for U.S. direct investment abroad and foreign direct investment in the United States. In 1994 and 1995, these analyses appear in a separate article in the June SCB (see section I.A and section II.A). The article in the June 1995 issue includes aggregate current cost and market value estimates of the direct investment positions for 1982-94.

NOTE (1): Beginning with 1996, the articles that used to appear in the June issue of the SCB appeared in the July issue.

NOTE (2): The May 1991 SCB article, "Valuation of the U.S. Net International Investment Position," by Landefeld & Lawson, reviews the issues surrounding the valuation of the U.S. net international investment position and presents revalued estimates for direct investment, for U.S. gold reserves, and for the international investment position. The article describes two alternative methods for valuing direct investment in prices of the current period, presents estimates of the direct investment totals for 1982-89 that are prepared using these methods, and compares these estimates with BEA's existing historical-cost estimates and with current-value estimates from several earlier studies. Beginning with the article published in June 1991, the articles listed below show estimates of the position valued at current cost and market value only.

3/99, INTERNATIONAL DIRECT INVESTMENT: Studies by the Bureau of Economic Analysis
The publication brings together a number of key studies by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) on U.S. direct investment abroad and foreign direct investment in the United States. The studies cover such topics as the characteristics of multinational companies, including their profitability, productivity, and sourcing patterns; measures of direct investment that are valued in current-period prices; and supplemental balance of payments frameworks that incorporate information on ownership from BEA's direct investment surveys. These studies were originally published in the Survey of Current Business, BEA's monthly journal. This publication also includes users' guides to BEA's statistics on direct investment and detailed methodologies from BEA's benchmark survey publications on foreign direct investment in the United States and U.S. direct investment abroad.
