Investment in structures
Investment in Structures is measured mainly as the sum of the costs of inputs of all construction “put in place” during the accounting period. Included are:
Costs of materials installed or erected Costs of labor and the cost of construction equipment
rental Cost of architectural and engineering work Overhead and office costs incurred by the projects
owners Interest and taxes paid during construction Contractors’ profit

Residential Investment
In NIPA, home ownership is treated as a business analogous to rental housing.
Housing services of owner-occupants is represented by imputed rent in personal consumption expenditures (PCE).
Imputed rental income for owner-occupants is add to rental income of persons

“Real” – Inflation adjusted quantity measures
Deflation: for most components the current dollar measure is divided by appropriate price index
Direct valuation: quantity measure is multiplied by a base period price.

Price Indexes
▪BEA uses a variety of price measures from the Census Bureau, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and trade sources.
▪A longstanding goal has been to use, when possible, price measures that have been adjusted for quality changes

Input price indexes
▪ Because of the heterogeneity of construction projects, structures have historically been priced by their inputs.
▪ Input price index do not account for material or labor substitution and productivity gains
▪ For hospitals, the Turner Construction Company building cost index (an input cost measure) is combined with the single-family houses index to capture some of the effects of productivity gain
