Detailed investment data for equipment, software and structures used by industry are presented in the capital flow table, which is released for each benchmark year (years ending in ‘2’ and ‘7’). The most recent capital flow table at this time is for 1997, and can be found at http://www.bea.gov/industry/capflow_data.htm. The 1997 capital flow table was released in the November 2003 Survey of Current Business. The Fixed Assets data published by BEA’s National Income and Wealth Division also provides annual estimates of investment by industry, but at a more aggregate sectoral level.
