An Ownership-Based Framework of the U.S. Current Account, 1999-2010

摘要

This report updates the supplemental ownership-based framework of the current account in the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) U.S. international transactions accounts. This supplemental presentation includes the same major elements as the standard current-account presentation - trade in goods and services and receipts and payments of income on foreign investment - but it highlights the role that multinational companies play in these international transactions. This report includes new summary statistics of the major current-account aggregates for 2010, revised and more detailed statistics for 2009, and revised statistics for 1999-2008.
