Capital Spending Report 2009: U.S. Capital Spending Patterns, 1999-2007

摘要

Data in this report are from the Census Bureaus Annual Capital Expenditures Survey (ACES), which collects information on expenditures for new and used structures and equipment by all U.S. nonfarm businesses. This 2009 Capital Spending Report continues the Census Bureaus effort to present annual ACES data longitudinally, beginning in 1999, the year when the data were first collected under NAICS. This 2009 report carries the series through 2007, the reference year for the most recent ACES report. Readers are cautioned that while this Report marshals annual ACES data longitudinally, the series is not always internally consistent. This can be attributed to several factors, including changes in the NAICS (e.g., the 1997 NAICS updated to the 2002 NAICS), and changes over time in company organization and classification.
