Abstract
International Accounts Data Needs: Plans, Progress, and Priorities,
by Ralph H. Kozlow
Presented at the November 17, 2000 meeting of the BEA Advisory Committee
BEAs International Accounts Directorate is responsible for preparing
the nations estimates of the international transactions accounts,
international investment position, and operations of U.S. parent companies
and U.S. and foreign affiliates, and for preparing analyses of major developments
and problems in these areas. While BEA has made numerous improvements
to the international accounts in recent years, several needs remain unmet.
This paper identifies major unmet needs, and establishes priorities for
the future. BEA believes that it is important to make significant progress
on each of its priorities, but it cannot make significant progress on
all priorities simultaneously. BEA would appreciate feedback on the list
of priorities.
