State and Regional Export and Foreign Investment
Data: A Statistical Overview
Summary
This statistical overview is a collection of tables summarizing key international
trade data, by state. The tables show, for each state, the overall level of exports, the
relative importance of various trading partners, and the importance of foreign
investment. More specifically, the tables are divided into three categories, providing:
(1) data on export levels and export growth since 1993, ranked by state both within
the United States and within Census regions; (2) state export data to eight countries
and eight key international regions with which or for which the United States already
has or is considering trade agreements and preferential trade laws, and (3) data on
levels of foreign direct investment, both overall and for the manufacturing sector, by
state. These tables can be used as general background or as input into debates on
trade agreements and preferential trade laws from the perspective of the individual
state.
In the past 25 years, international trade has surged. Merchandise exports plus
imports have risen from roughly 10% of GDP in 1973 when exports and imports
were nearly equal, to about 20% of GDP in 2000, in which year imports constituted
61% of all goods traded. Since 1993, shortly before the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) went into effect in 1994 and the Final Act of the 1986 -1994
Uruguay Round of trade negotiations, which created the World Trade Organization,
went into effect in 1995, imports have grown roughly 1.5 times as fast as exports.
The rising importance of imports and exports to the U.S. economy has led to
increased congressional focus on trade issues.
While data are readily available on exports by state, data are not available on
imports by state. This is because, for the most part, each state’s exports are tracked
from the air, sea, or land port of exit (typically in the same state in which they are
produced) to their destination countries, while imports are tracked from the
originating country only as far as the first port of entry into the United States.
Similarly, state data on foreign direct investment are available solely for foreign
investment in the United States. Data in this report reflect the current international
investment position in the United States.
State export data in this report include the following countries and trade areas
which are key trading partners, are covered by existing trade agreements, or are
covered by proposed or possible future trade agreements and preferential trade laws:
Canada, Mexico, (North American Free Trade Agreement – NAFTA– partners).
Japan, China, the European Union, Latin America (which would join with North
America to create the Free Trade Area of the Americas), Association of Southeast
Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, and Sub-Saharan African countries, plus Chile,
Israel, Jordan, and Singapore. This report will be updated annually, or as needed.

State and Regional Export and Foreign
Investment Data: A Statistical Overview
This statistical overview is a collection of tables summarizing some key
international trade data, by state. The tables show, for each state, the overall level of
exports, the relative importance of various trading partners, and the importance of
foreign investment in the economy of that state.
More specifically, the state data tables are divided into three categories,
providing: (1) data on total state export levels and export growth since 1993; (2) state
export data to eight key international regions and eight countries, and (3) data on
foreign direct investment overall, for the manufacturing sector, and as a percent of
gross state product, by state. These tables can be used as general background
materials, or as input into debates on trade legislation.

This

states and the U.S. economy, has led to increased congressional focus on trade
issues. 1
Exports offer a number of benefits for states. They are a source of pride because
they reflect a state’s interests in promoting jobs in manufacturing in the larger world
economy. Export industries tend to be those in which a state has a comparative
advantage, and can produce goods relatively more efficiently (i.e. have higher
productivity) than can its trading partners. Exports are also a source of jobs. In 2000,
each billion dollars worth of merchandise exports supported roughly 10,270 jobs.23
As a result of their higher productivity, export industries tend to support higher
wages than other manufacturing industries. Thus, state export industries contribute
to higher productivity and higher income for the economy as a whole.
Imports are often viewed as threats to producers in import-competing industries,
since competition from cheaper imports shrinks profit margins and reduces market
share. Imports often represent “sunset” industries and sub-industries – those for
which the technology has matured enough for production to be moved abroad and
carried out by less developed countries, where they provide a springboard for
economic growth. This leaves U.S. companies to focus their energies on emerging
and evolving industries. Imports offer a variety of benefits to consumers and to the
economy as a whole, including greater variety of products and quality, and lower
costs of imports. As a result, consumers are able to buy a larger quantity of all goods
including domestically produced goods. Imports have other benefits as well. They
can serve as inputs for domestic production, which may, in turn, be exported.
Alternatively, they may be finished products which incorporate U.S. exports.
Overall, imports, because they are typically less expensive than a country could
produce domestically, enable consumers to enjoy, in effect, a higher standard of
living.
Inward flows of foreign direct investment into states (which may appear in a
number of forms including manufacturing operations, retail stores, financial
institutions, and insurance businesses) are viewed by some as a threat to established
businesses and established ways of life. On the other hand, states often go to great
lengths to attract foreign direct investment, including competing against other states
for it. However, inflows of foreign direct investment also bring new companies, new
technologies, new management strategies, new work practices, and new jobs. In
some cases there is broad support for foreign direct investment. In other cases, there
is controversy. The total stock of foreign direct investment in the United States,

of Maryland under contract with the Department of Commerce in the 1980s and 1990s. The
last year for which data were actually calculated by the model was 1994. Because these
extrapolations may not capture important changes in the U.S. economy since that time, they
should be used with caution.

which comes primarily from Europe and Canada, has grown from $124.7 billion in
1982 to $1.2 trillion in 2000.
Outward flows of U.S. investment abroad are also seen by some as social and/or
economic threats. Long established factories might close down and relocate abroad,
or U.S.-based multinational corporations might set up new operations in other
developed or developing countries.
In deciding to choose whether to invest
domestically or abroad, and where, firms make choices based on a broad spectrum
of economic factors. The majority of U.S. direct investment abroad is concentrated
in advanced economies with cost structures similar to those in the United States, and
the share has been rising in recent years. Only 30% of U.S. direct investment abroad
is in developing countries. In part this is because, when businesses are simply packed
up and relocated, or when lower technology, labor-intensive operations are set up in
developing countries, the costs per business – the value of U.S. investment abroad
– are typically relatively low. Outflows of foreign direct investment often support
inter-industry trade by U.S. multinational corporations. Thus, goods produced in
U.S. factories abroad may find their way back to the United States either as
components for U.S. produced goods or as final products for U.S. consumption. U.S.
direct investment abroad for 2000 is equal to foreign direct investment in the United
States – $1.2 trillion.
Congressional Interest
Members of Congress often express interest in how their states are being
affected by international trade and investment flows. Inquiries may be driven by: (a)
legislative proposals for reauthorization of presidential “fast-track” negotiating
authority; (b) legislation implementing a new trade agreement or adopting other trade
liberalizing measures; or (c) oversight of an existing agreement. As input in the
legislative process, Members tend to be particularly interested in trade and
investment data, by state.
Ideally, the purpose of this report would be to track exports, imports, foreign
direct investment, and U.S. investment abroad, by state. Unfortunately, data are not
available on either imports by State or U.S. investment abroad by state. The Census
data track U.S. exports from their port of exit (typically a land, sea, or airport in the
same state in which the goods are produced) to the country of their final destination.
But Census data track imports from the originating country only as far as their port
of entry into the United States, and not to their final state destination. Similarly,
Census data track foreign investment inflows to their destination. However, they do
not track outflows of U.S. investment abroad from their source. As a result, this
report is able to include data only on exports and foreign direct investment in the
United States, and not data on imports and U.S. investment abroad. Thus, data in this
report show one-half of the full state trade picture.

Highlights of Data Presented
Tables 1-4 present data on state exports for 2000 ranked by total export value,
by absolute and percent change in exports, and by percent of gross state product that
is exported. Tables 9-10 repeat the first three tables, organizing them by Census
regions.
Tables 5-8 track state exports for 2000 to individual countries and regions.
Included in these tables are eight countries and eight regions which are key trading
partners, or with which the United States has or is currently negotiating free trade
agreements.
Table 11 includes data on foreign direct investment in the United States for
1999 (most recent data), by state within seven key Census regions: for all industries
and for manufacturing, and tracks total foreign direct investment as a percent of total
U.S. foreign direct investment, and as a percent of gross state product for each state.
Some of the major highlights for each table follow:
Table 1. State Merchandise Exports to the World, Ranked by $ Value in
2000. This table shows that eight states, California, Texas, New York, Michigan,
Washington, Illinois, Ohio, and new Jersey, account for 56% of total U.S. exports,
and that 21 states and one U.S. territory have negligible exports.
Table 2. State Merchandise Exports to the world, Ranked by $Change in
Exports, 1993-2000. This table shows that the states with the largest dollar growth
in exports between 1993 and 2000 tended to be the same states that were the largest
state exporters in table 1 (with a few differences.)
Table 3. State Merchandise Exports to the World, Ranked by Percent
Change in Exports, 1993-2000. This table shows that export growth has been
diverse among the states. Some states that have logged the largest growth in exports
border or nearly border Canada (Montana, Idaho, North and South Dakota), or
Mexico (Alabama, Mississippi). Other states with large percentage export growth
started from relatively lower base levels (Nevada, Kentucky, South Carolina, and
New Hampshire. Other states expanded exports from an already large export base
(Michigan and New Jersey).
Table 4. State Merchandise Exports to the World, Ranked by Exports as
a Percent of Gross State Product (GSP) in 1999. This table shows that five states
(Washington, Vermont, Delaware, Michigan, and Oregon) export 10% or more of
their total state output. It also shows that several other major industrial or high-tech
states (Texas, California, Minnesota, and Indiana) export 8% or more of their state
output.
Table 5. State Merchandise Exports to the World and Four Key Countries,
2000. This table shows that a number of states export more than 40% of their total
exports to Canada: Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio,
South Dakota, Vermont (with a high of 82%) although the U.S. total is 24%; but that
only three states send more than a third of their exports to Mexico (Michigan,

CRS-5
Mississippi, and Texas). Total U.S. exports to Mexico are 14% of all exports. To
Japan, Hawaii exports a greater proportion of its goods than any other state (54%),
with Alaska second. (The U.S. total is 8%). To China, Washington leads, with 5%
of its exports going there. (The U.S. total is 2%).
Table 6. 2000 State Merchandise Exports to the World and Four Other
Countries for which Trade Agreements Exist or are Being Negotiated. This table
shows that Florida is the largest exporter to Chile; New York and California are the
largest exporters to Israel; Pennsylvania is the largest exporter to Jordan; and
California and Texas are the largest exporters to Singapore.
Table 7. State Merchandise Exports to the World by Major World Region,
2000. This table tracks state exports to five key regions: NAFTA (37% of all U.S.
exports), the European Union (21%), Latin America excluding Mexico (8%),
ASEAN (10 Asian) countries (6%), and Sub-Saharan Africa (0.8%). For the United
States as a whole, these exports represent 72% of all U.S. exports.
Table 8. State Merchandise Exports to the World and Three Latin-
America Sub-Regions. This table is a sub-table to the Latin America, column 3 of
table 7. It shows that Florida is the largest exporter to the Caribbean, to Central
America, and to South America. North Carolina is the second largest exporter to
Central America, and Texas is the second largest exporter to South America.
Table 9. State Merchandise Exports to the World, Ranked Within Region
by $ Value in 2000. This table includes the same data as table 1, but the states are
ranked within Census regions. This table shows that the North Central region
accounts for roughly a quarter of all exports, and that it, the Pacific, Mid-Atlantic,
and South Central regions together account for 78% of all U.S. exports.
Table 10. State Merchandise Exports to the World, Ranked Within Region
by $ Change in Exports, 1993-2000. This table includes the same data as table 2,
but the states are ranked within Census regions. This table shows that two Census
regions accounted for nearly half the export growth between 1993 and 2000. One
is the North Central Region of 12 industrial and farming states. The other is the
Pacific region, which includes five states.
Table 11. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the United States for all
Industries and for Manufacturing, and total FDI as a % of Total Gross State
Product (GSP), by Region and State, 1999. This table shows that for the nation as
a whole the stock of foreign direct investment in the United States is equal to about
11% of total gross state product for 1999 (most recent year). New York and Alaska
have the highest level of FDI relative to their gross state product. California and
Texas have received the greatest total amounts of FDI, together commanding about
one-fifth of all FDI in the United States. Most regions, however (except for New
England and the Mountain region) are fairly equal in the percent of total FDI which
they have received from other countries. FDI in manufacturing accounts for nearly
half of all FDI..

CRS-6
A Note on the Data4
Data in the following tables are from the Exporter Location Series, provided to
the International Trade Administration by the U.S. Census Bureau. The published
data are based on initial data compiled from U.S. export declarations. This series
allocates exports according to the physical location of exporters. It typically allocates
exports to locations from which the goods were sold. Locations from which firms
sell their products do not always coincide with the locations where export goods are
produced. Alaska is perhaps the best example of how export production and sales
can diverge. Possibly more than two-thirds of Alaska’s export production is typically
sold by wholesalers or other intermediary exporters that are located outside the state;
thus only about one third of Alaska’s export value is represented by the data on the
tables that follow. Moreover, the divergence between production and sales locations
means that the statistics will sometimes show substantial exports of manufactured
products from states or localities where manufacturing plants are virtually
nonexistent.
