Abstract:
The BE-13 survey collects information on the cost of new foreign direct investments in the United States, limited financial and operating data for the U.S. enterprises established, acquired, or expanded and identification information about the U.S. enterprise and the new foreign owner(s). Data from the BE-13 survey will identify new U.S. affiliates that should be included in BEA's estimates of foreign direct investment in the United States. The information is needed to update data on the universe of U.S. affiliates to ensure that it is complete, and to determine whether the new affiliates meet reporting criteria for related benchmark, annual, and quarterly surveys of foreign direct investment conducted by BEA.
