NOTES

  1. Private gross fixed investment is from BEA, NIPA table 5.2.5. Structures is from BEA, NIPA table 5.4.5. Equipment is from BEA, NIPA table 5.5.5. Intellectual Property Products is from BEA, NIPA table 5.6.5. Government gross fixed investment is from BEA, NIPA table 3.9.5.
  2. Calculated as the difference between gross fixed investment in BEA's NIPA and gross fixed investment in BEA's fixed assets accounts (FAA); the latter are used to to estimate stocks of fixed assets for balance sheets. For the minor definitional differences between the two estimates of gross fixed investment, see the BEA FAA web page https://apps.bea.gov/iTable/index_FA.cfm.
  3. Equity REIT gross investment in residential structures is included with the nonfinancial corporate business sector, consistent with their treatment in the NIPAs. In the Financial Accounts, equity REIT investment in residential structures is included with the financial business sector.
  4. Domestic financial subsector detail, including REITs, are based on FRB staff estimates.
  5. Consumer durable goods are not included above, consistent with their treatment in the NIPAs. In Financial Accounts, however, consumer durables are included in household sector fixed investment (table F.101, line 14).
  6. Inventories are not included above but are part of nonfinancial business gross investment (table F.4, lines 25 and 26).
