Quarterly Survey of Transactions in Selected Services and Intellectual Property with Foreign Persons (Form BE-125)

This survey collects information on U.S. international transactions in all types of services and intellectual property for which information is not collected on the other BEA surveys and is not available to BEA from other sources. The survey is conducted on a sample of firms. In order to reduce the reporting burden, the sample does not include small firms. Instead, BEA imputes data for these firms by extrapolating forward their data from the most recent benchmark survey on the basis of the movement of the sample data and, where applicable, the firm's future response.
