23 U.S. Intrafirm Trade in Goods (PDF)
Transactions between affiliated units of multinational companies (MNC’s) account for a major share of U.S. international trade in goods–for more than one-third of U.S. exports in 1994 and for more than two-fifths of U.S. imports. For both exports and imports, this intrafirm trade has mainly consisted of shipments from parents to their affiliates rather than shipments to parents from their affiliates. By industry, most of the intrafirm trade of U.S. MNC’s has been between U.S. manufacturing parents and their foreign manufacturing affiliates, and most of the intrafirm trade of foreign MNC’s has been between U.S. wholesale trade affiliates and their foreign parent groups.
Real GDP increased 4.7 percent in the fourth quarter of 1996 after increasing 2.1 percent in the third quarter; the acceleration was more than accounted for by a sharp turnaround in exports and by a pickup in personal consumption expenditures. The price index for gross domestic purchases increased 2.5 percent after increasing 1.9 percent; the step-up wasmore than accounted for by an upturn in energy prices.

Nevada had the largest increase in personal income, 2.3 percent, and Alaska had the smallest increase, 0.6 percent.

LOOKING AHEAD
Real Gross Product of Foreign Affiliates of U.S. Companies. An upcoming issue of the SURVEY will contain an article that presents and analyzes estimates of real gross product of U.S. companies” majority owned affiliates in manufacturing for 1982–94. These estimates, which BEA has prepared for the first time, have been adjusted to remove the effects of changes in prices and in exchange rates.
