  1. For improved comparability with U.S. affiliate gross product, gross product originating in private industries was adjusted to exclude gross product originating in depository institutions and private households, imputed rental income from owner-occupied housing, and business transfer payments.
  2. Because the data on new affiliates include bank affiliates, the percentages shown in this column are biased upward. In all years, the bias is less than 1 percentage point; in most years, it is less than 0.3 percentage point.
