In its balance of payments accounts , Japan has traditionally run a deficit in services. Trade in services includes transportation freight and passenger fares , insurance, travel expenditures, royalties , licensing fees, and income from investments. The deficit in services rose steadily from United States Dollar US 99 million in 1960, to nearly US 1.8 billion in 1970 and to more than US 11.3 billion in 1980 which can be attributed to rising royalty and licensing payments for Japan s acquisition of technology from other industrial countries and to rising deficits in the trade related services of transportation and insurance. The transportation deficit rose after the 1960s, as rapidly climbing labor costs made Japanese flag vessels less competitive, leading to greater use of foreign flag carriers including many flag of convenience vessels actually owned by Japanese interests . Beginning in the late 1970s, however, rapidly growing Foreign direct investment overseas investment s began to increase the inflow of investment income. The investments themselves are part of capital flows in the balance of payments, but repatriation of earnings on those investments is part of the services account.

The incentive payments are direct payments made under the National Wool Act P.L. 83 690, Title VII to producers of wool and mohair, which were similar to deficiency payments made to producers of grains and cotton. The incentive payment rate was the percentage needed to bring the national average return to producers the market price plus the incentive payment up to the annually set national support price. Each producer s direct payment was the payment rate times the market receipts. Producers with higher market receipts got larger supportpayments. This created an incentive to increase output and to improve quality. The wool and mohair commodity programs ended after the 1995 marketing year as required by P.L. 103 130. The 2002 farm bill P.L. 107 171, Sec. 1201 made wool and mohair eligible for marketing assistance loans and loan deficiency payments. For conservation programs, incentive payments refer to cost sharing payments that producers may receive to attract participation. In some programs, the federal portion of these payments can vary for these programs, the higher share is provided for the more desirable conservation practices that will provide greater benefits.

In the United States, deficiency payments are direct government payments made to farmers who participated in annual commodity programs for wheat, feed grains, rice, or cotton, prior to 1996. The crop specific deficiency payment rate was based on the difference between the legislatively set target price and the lower national average market price during a specified time. The total payment was equal to the payment rate, multiplied by a farm s eligible payment acreage and the program payment yield established for the particular farm. In the latter years of the program, farmers could receive up to one half of their projected deficiency payments at program signup. If actual deficiency payments, which were determined after the crop year, were less than advance deficiency payments, the farmer was required to reimburse the government for the difference, except for zero, 50 85 92 payments. The 1996 farm bill P.L. 107 171 eliminated deficiency payments and replaced them with production flexibility contract payments . The 2002 farm bill P.L. 101 171, Sec. 1104 reinstituted deficiency payments as counter cyclical payments with somewhat different payment calculations.

Findley payments Under the so called Findley Provision authorized by the Food Security Act of 1985 , P.L. 99 198, and first sponsored by former Illinois Representative Paul Findley , USDA was able to reduce the basic, formula set nonrecourse loan rate for major crops by up to an additional 20 if that was necessary to keep the United States competitive in international markets. If done, direct compensatory payments were made to producers equal to the amount of the loan rate reduction. These Findley Payments, limited to 200,000 per person, essentially added to the larger direct deficiency payment.
