Fixed Assets

BEA’s fixed assets accounts includes a wide array of statistics on both fixed assets, which are used continuously in processes of production for an extended period of time, and consumer durables, which are generally defined as tangible products that can be stored or inventoried and that have an average life of at least three years.

Statistics on net stocks, depreciation (consumption of fixed capital), “other changes in volume of assets,” and the average age of net stocks are available, beginning with 1925; estimates of fixed investment are available, beginning with 1901. These statistics are available by industry, by legal form of organization, and by asset type.

Updates

  

  • August 31, 2015
    The "Standard Fixed Assets Tables" and the "Detailed Fixed Assets Tables" have been updated to incorporate the results from the 2015 annual revision of the national income and product accounts (NIPAs). The "Standard Fixed Assets Tables" present estimates of net stocks, depreciation, fixed investment, other changes in volume of assets, and the average age of net stocks for fixed assets and consumer durable goods. The "Detailed Fixed Assets Tables" present additional detailed estimates of net stocks, depreciation, and investment by type and by industry (for nonresidential fixed assets only), and by type and by legal form of ownership (for residential fixed assets only). Also included are detailed price indexes for nonresidential fixed assets and implied rates of depreciation for selected aggregates by industry. The tables under the heading “Relation of the NIPAs to the Corresponding Items in the FAAs” present the relationship between private fixed investment in the Fixed Assets Accounts and consumer durable goods to the corresponding items in the National Income and Product Accounts.
