The Annual Capital Expenditures Survey (ACES) is part of a comprehensive
program designed to provide detailed and timely information on capital
investment in new and used structures and equipment by nonfarm businesses.
The survey is based on a sample of approximately 46,000 companies with employees and approximately 15,000 companies without employees. Beginning with the 1999 ACES, for companies with employees, capital expenditures data are published for 130 industries comprised primarily of three-digit and selected four-digit industries from the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS): 1997. Prior to the 1999 ACES, capital expenditures data were published for 97 industries comprised of two-digit and selected three-digit industries from the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system.
