Value-added inputs: | |
Compensation of employees | For census-covered industries, payroll and benefits from Census Bureau 1992 economic censuses, adjusted for misreporting and I-O industry definitions. |
For noncensus-covered industries, tabulations of wages and salaries covered by State unemployment insurance, BEA estimates of benefits, adjusted for misreporting and I-O industry definition. | |
All estimates adjusted to balance to total compensation, estimated as part of the national income and product accounts. | |
Indirect business tax and nontax liability | For excise taxes and commodity taxes, estimates are from output controls. |
For other tax and nontax liability, distributed to industries using indirect techniques. | |
All estimates adjusted to balance to total indirect business tax and nontax liability, estimated as part of the national income and product accounts. | |

For government enterprises, other value added is the current surplus. |
