National Measures of Investment and Saving Reconciled
ResearchPublished 1985
The two major national accounting systems of the United States are the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) and the Flow of Funds Accounts (FoF). The first system is maintained by the Department of Commerce, and the second is maintained by the Federal Reserve. This report presents in a series of accounting tables the interconnections between the NIPA and the FoF measures of investment and saving. In addition, the confusion over NIPA and FoF measures of personal saving is resolved.
