Required reserve balances as a percentage of total or have been channeled directly through the capital Federal Reserve liabilities, year-end, 1960-91 markets, with little attendant effect on the cost or availability of credit to most borrowers, some credits that are less easily substitutable, such as loans to small and medium-sized businesses, may have been curtailed, at least partly as a result of the increases in depository intermediation costs. Thus, it may be these borrowers who ultimately pay much of the price of the higher, government-mandated costs on depositories. Paying interest on required reserve balances would be one way of offsetting some of these higher costs.

The incorporation of the new data has progressively lowered the level of the revised industrial production index relative to that of the previous one until 1990. Whereas the previous index showed output peaking in September 1990 at 110.6 percent of the level of output in 1987, the revised index shows output reaching a high of 107.1 in April 1989 and then retreating a little until October 1989 (chart 1, top panel). The subsequent rebound recouped nearly all of the loss by the following summer. Then, as did the previous index, the revised index shows a cyclical contraction ensuing.

The more rapid rise in machinery and transportation equipment. For durable manufacturing, the greater rebound from the trough shown by the revised index offset the lower levels in 1989 to 1991, so that by the end of 1992 the revised index exceeded the earlier figures. 8.

This process typically affected specific year-to-year movements rather than the overall 1987-92 rate of growth. In the case of stone and earth minerals, however, monthly output was estimated largely on the basis of kilowatt hours purchased by that industry. These estimates Percent of capacity were revised substantially downward to match the annual physical product figures provided by the Revised utilization Bureau of Mines. The output index for utilities was revised upward because of a correction to the measurement of gas transmission (the output of electric utilities was revised only slightly). Previously the sales of gas by major pipeline companies were used to measure monthly transmissions.
