F.  Economic variables for FATS 
4.46.  A wide range of economic data or variables - 
operational and financial - in regard to FATS may be 
pertinent for analytical and policy purposes.  The 
selection of the variables to be collected should be based 
primarily on their usefulness in implementing GATS 
and in analysing globalization phenomena.  The 
practicalities of data availability also must be 
considered.  With such considerations in mind, the 
present Manual recommends that the FATS variables to 
be collected include at least the following basic 
measures of foreign affiliate activity:  (a) sales 
(turnover) and/or output, (b) employment, (c) value 
added, (d) exports and imports of goods and services, 
and (e) number of enterprises. Although these variables 
constitute a basic set that can provide answers to a 
variety of questions, additional measures of foreign 
affiliate activities may prove useful in addressing 
specific issues. The Manual suggests several measures 
that might be considered for collection by countries that 
are able to compile such additional information.  Most of 
both the “basic” and the “additional” variables were 
drawn from the 1993 SNA, as were their definitions. 
4.47.  To provide a concrete illustration of how these 
variables might be presented, table 4 presents a sample 
table format in which the basic variables could be 
presented, classified by activity on the basis of ICFA.  
Additional tables might be constructed to view the 
variables from different perspectives.  For example, time 
series or geographic detail could be shown for a single 
variable by placing time periods or country names, 
rather than the names of the variables, in the table 
heading.
