Gross product. The contribution to host-country gross domesticproduct, which is the goods and services produced by labor andproperty located in that country. Gross product, often referred toas value added, can be measured as gross output (sales or receiptsand other operating income plus inventory change) minus intermediateinputs (purchased goods and services). Alternatively, it can bemeasured as the sum of the costs incurred (except for intermediateinputs) and the profits earned in production. The gross productestimates presented here were prepared by summing cost and profitdata collected in the annual and benchmark surveys of USDIA.Forthe derivation of the current-dollar estimates of gross product, seeRaymond J. Mataloni, Jr., and Lee Goldberg, Gross Product of U.S.Multinational Companies, 197791, SURVEY 74 (February 1994): 57.Profit-type return. Profits from the production of goods and servicesin the current period.

PP&E includes land,timber, mineral and like-rights owned, structures, machinery, equipment,special tools, and other depreciable property; constructionin progress; and tangible and intangible exploration and developmentcosts. Changes in PP&E due to changes in entitysuch asmergers, acquisitions, and divestituresor to changes in accountingprinciples are excluded. Capital expenditures are measured on agross basis; sales and other dispositions of fixed assets are not nettedagainst them.

Employment. The number of full-time and part-time employeeson the payroll at yearend. If a parent or affiliates employment wasunusually high or low because of temporary factors (for example, astrike) or large seasonal variations, the number that reflected normaloperations or an average for the year was requested.

In this article, this term refers to the decompositionof a firms output (sales plus inventory change) into the outputthat originates within the firm and the output that originates elsewhereand that is incorporated in the intermediate inputs purchasedby the firm. The intermediate inputs can also be decomposed intothose that are purchased locally and those that are purchased fromabroad.*
