Census Bureau ACES Survey

5. Why is this information collected?

The data collected in the expensed Information and Communication Technology supplement to the Annual Capital Expenditures Survey is designed to capture investment figures related to technology that fall below a company’s capitalization threshold. The data will be used to assess future productivity and economic growth prospects as well as provide data to improve capital stock estimates, capital flow tables, and permit the reconciliation of important differences between reported production and consumption of technology.
