Gross Domestic Product:
First Quarter 2017 (Advance Estimate)
Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 0.7 percent in the first quarter of 2017
(table 1), according to the "advance" estimate released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the
fourth quarter of 2016, real GDP increased 2.1 percent.
The Bureau emphasized that the first-quarter advance estimate released today is based on source data
that are incomplete or subject to further revision by the source agency (see “Source Data for the
Advance Estimate” on page 2). The "second" estimate for the first quarter, based on more complete
data, will be released on May 26, 2017.

Seasonally adjusted annual rates

The increase in real GDP in the first quarter reflected positive contributions from nonresidential fixed
investment, exports, residential fixed investment, and personal consumption expenditures (PCE), that
were offset by negative contributions from private inventory investment, state and local government
spending, and federal government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP,
increased (table 2).
The deceleration in real GDP in the first quarter reflected a deceleration in PCE and downturns in private
inventory investment and in state and local government spending that were partly offset by an upturn in
exports and accelerations in both nonresidential and residential fixed investment.

Upcoming Annual Update of the National Income and Product Accounts
The annual update of the national income and product accounts, covering the first quarter of 2014
through the first quarter of 2017, will be released along with the "advance" estimate of GDP for the
second quarter of 2017 on July 28. For more information, see the Technical Note.

Current-dollar GDP increased 3.0 percent, or $137.9 billion, in the first quarter to a level of $19,007.3
billion. In the fourth quarter, current-dollar GDP increased 4.2 percent, or $194.1 billion (table 1 and
table 3).
The price index for gross domestic purchases increased 2.6 percent in the first quarter, compared with
an increase of 2.0 percent in the fourth quarter (table 4). The PCE price index increased 2.4 percent,
compared with an increase of 2.0 percent. Excluding food and energy prices, the PCE price index
increased 2.0 percent, compared with an increase of 1.3 percent (appendix table A).

Personal Income (table 10)
Current-dollar personal income increased $161.9 billion in the first quarter, compared with an increase
of $154.6 billion in the fourth. The acceleration in personal income primarily reflected an acceleration in
government social benefits to persons that was partly offset by a downturn in personal dividend income.
Disposable personal income increased $121.0 billion, or 3.4 percent, in the first quarter, compared with
an increase of $141.6 billion, or 4.1 percent, in the fourth. Real disposable personal income increased
1.0 percent, compared with an increase of 2.0 percent.
Personal saving was $814.2 billion in the first quarter, compared with $778.9 billion in the fourth. The
personal saving rate -- personal saving as a percentage of disposable personal income -- was 5.7 percent
in the first quarter, compared with 5.5 percent in the fourth.

Source Data for the Advance Estimate
Information on the assumptions used for unavailable source data in the advance estimate is
provided in a Technical Note that is posted with the news release on BEA’s Web site. Within a few days
after the release, a detailed "Key Source Data and Assumptions" file is posted on the Web site. For
information on updates to GDP, see the "Additional Information" section that follows.

Personal outlays is the sum of personal consumption
expenditures, personal interest payments, and personal
current transfer payments.
Personal saving is personal income less personal outlays
and personal current taxes.
The personal saving rate is personal saving as a
percentage of disposable personal income.

and Product Accounts.

Definitions

Statistical conventions

Gross domestic product (GDP) is the value of the goods
and services produced by the nation’s economy less the
value of the goods and services used up in production.
GDP is also equal to the sum of personal consumption
expenditures, gross private domestic investment, net
exports of goods and services, and government
consumption expenditures and gross investment.

Annual rates. Quarterly values are expressed at
seasonally-adjusted annual rates (SAAR), unless otherwise
specified. Dollar changes are calculated as the difference
between these SAAR values. For detail, see the FAQ “Why
does BEA publish estimates at annual rates?”
Percent changes in quarterly series are calculated from
unrounded data and are displayed at annual rates, unless
otherwise specified. For details, see the FAQ “How is
average annual growth calculated?”

Current-dollar estimates are valued in the prices of the
period when the transactions occurred—that is, at
“market value.” Also referred to as “nominal estimates” or
as “current-price estimates.”

Quantities and prices. Quantities, or “real” volume
measures, and prices are expressed as index numbers with
a specified reference year equal to 100 (currently 2009).
Quantity and price indexes are calculated using a Fisherchained weighted formula that incorporates weights from
two adjacent periods (quarters for quarterly data and
annuals for annual data). “Real” dollar series are
calculated by multiplying the published quantity index by
the current-dollar value in the reference year (2009) and
then dividing by 100. Percent changes calculated from real
quantity indexes and chained-dollar levels are
conceptually the same; any differences are due to
rounding.

Real values are inflation-adjusted estimates—that is,
estimates that exclude the effects of price changes.
The gross domestic purchases price index measures the
prices of final goods and services purchased by U.S.
residents.
The personal consumption expenditure price index
measures the prices paid for the goods and services
purchased by, or on the behalf of, “persons.”
Personal income is the income received by, or on behalf
of, all persons from all sources: from participation as
laborers in production, from owning a home or business,
from the ownership of financial assets, and from
government and business in the form of transfers. It
includes income from domestic sources as well as the rest
of world. It does not include realized or unrealized capital
gains or losses.

Chained-dollar values are not additive because the
relative weights for a given period differ from those of the
reference year. In tables that display chained-dollar values,
a “residual” line shows the difference between the sum of
detailed chained-dollar series and its corresponding
aggregate.

Updates to GDP
Vintage

BEA releases three vintages of the current quarterly
estimate for GDP: "Advance" estimates are released near
the end of the first month following the end of the quarter
and are based on source data that are incomplete or
subject to further revision by the source agency; “second”
and “third” estimates are released near the end of the
second and third months, respectively, and are based on
more detailed and more comprehensive data as they
become available.

Note - Based on estimates from 1993 through 2015. For
more information on GDP updates, see Revision
Information on the BEA Web site.

Annual and comprehensive updates are typically released
in late July. Annual updates generally cover at least the 3
most recent calendar years (and their associated quarters)
and incorporate newly available major annual source data
as well as some changes in methods and definitions to
improve the accounts. Comprehensive (or benchmark)
updates are carried out at about 5-year intervals and
incorporate major periodic source data, as well as major
conceptual improvements.

The larger average revision from the advance to the latest
estimate reflects the fact that periodic comprehensive
updates include major statistical and methodological
improvements.
Unlike GDP, an advance current quarterly estimate of GDI
is not released because data on domestic profits and on
net interest of domestic industries are not available. For
fourth quarter estimates, these data are not available until
the third estimate.

The table below shows the average revisions to the
quarterly percent changes in real GDP between different
estimate vintages, without regard to sign.

1. Real gross domestic income is gross domestic income deflated by the implicit price deflator for gross domestic product.
NOTE. Users are cautioned that particularly for components that exhibit rapid change in prices relative to other prices in the economy, the chained-dollar estimates should not be used to measure the component’s relative importance or
its contribution to the growth rate of more aggregate series. For accurate estimates of the contributions to percent changes in real gross domestic product, use table 2.
See Explanatory Note at the end of the tables.

1. Real gross domestic income is gross domestic income deflated by the implicit price deflator for gross domestic product.
NOTE. Users are cautioned that particularly for components that exhibit rapid change in prices relative to other prices in the economy, the chained-dollar estimates should not be used to measure the component’s relative importance
or its contribution to the growth rate of more aggregate series. For accurate estimates of the contributions to percent changes in real gross domestic product, use table 2.
See Explanatory Note at the end of the tables.

1. Food excludes personal consumption expenditures for purchased meals and beverages, which are classified in food services.
2. This index is a supplemental measure that is based on household expenditures for which there are observable price measures. It excludes most implicit prices (for example, financial services furnished
without payment) and the final consumption expenditures of nonprofit institutions serving households. Percentage changes for these series are included in the addenda to table 8 and appendix table A.

1. Personal income is also equal to national income less corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments, taxes on production and imports less subsidies, contributions for
government social insurance, net interest and miscellaneous payments, business current transfer payments (net), and current surplus of government enterprises, plus personal income receipts on assets, and
personal current transfer receipts.
2. The current-dollar measure is deflated by the implicit price deflator for personal consumption expenditures.

2. Farm output less intermediate goods and services purchased.
3. Consists of GDP less gross value added of farm, of households and institutions, and of general government.
4. Food excludes personal consumption expenditures for purchased meals and beverages, which are classified in food services.
5. This index is a supplemental measure that is based on household expenditures for which there are observable price measures. It excludes most implicit prices (for example, financial services furnished without payment) and the final
consumption expenditures of nonprofit institutions serving households.

Explanatory Note: NIPA Measures of Quantities and Prices
Current-dollar GDP is a measure of the market value of goods, services, and structures produced in the
economy in a particular period. Changes in current-dollar GDP can be decomposed into quantity and
price components. Quantities, or "real" measures, and prices are expressed as index numbers with the
reference year -- at present, the year 2009 -- equal to 100.
Annual changes in quantities and prices are calculated using a Fisher formula that incorporates weights
from two adjacent years. (Quarterly changes in quantities and prices are calculated using a Fisher
formula that incorporates weights from two adjacent quarters; quarterly indexes are adjusted for
consistency to the annual indexes before percent changes are calculated.) For example, the 2008-09
annual percent change in real GDP uses prices for 2008 and 2009 as weights, and the 2008-09 annual
percent change in GDP prices uses quantities for 2008 and 2009 as weights. These annual changes are
"chained" (multiplied) together to form time series of quantity and price indexes. Percent changes in
Fisher indexes are not affected by the choice of reference year. (BEA also publishes a measure of the
price level known as the implicit price deflator (IPD), which is calculated as the ratio of the current-dollar
value to the corresponding chained-dollar value, multiplied by 100. The values of the IPD are very close
to the values of the corresponding "chain-type" price index.)
Index numbers of quantity and price indexes for GDP and its major components are presented in this
release in tables 5 and 6. Percent changes from the preceding period are presented in tables 1, 4, 7, 8,
and appendix table A. Contributions by major components to the percent change in real GDP are
presented in table 2.
Measures of real GDP and its major components are also presented in dollar-denominated form,
designated "chained (2009) dollar estimates." For most series, these estimates, which are presented in
table 3, are computed by multiplying the current-dollar value in 2009 by a corresponding quantity index
number and then dividing by 100. For example, if a current-dollar GDP component equaled $100 in 2009
and if real output for this component increased 10 percent in 2010, then the chained (2009) dollar value
of this component in 2010 would be $110 (= $100 x 110 / 100). Percent changes calculated from
chained-dollar estimates and from chain-type quantity indexes are the same; any differences will be
small and due to rounding.
Chained-dollar values for the detailed GDP components will not necessarily sum to the chained-dollar
estimate of GDP (or to any intermediate aggregate). This is because the relative prices used as weights
for any period other than the reference year differ from those of the reference year. A measure of the
extent of such differences is provided by a “residual” line, which indicates the difference between GDP
(or other major aggregate) and the sum of the most detailed components in the table. For periods close
to the reference year, when there usually has not been much change in the relative prices that are used
as weights, the residuals tend to be small, and the chained-dollar estimates can be used to approximate
the contributions to growth and to aggregate the detailed estimates. For periods further from the
reference year, the residuals tend to be larger, and the chained-dollar estimates are less useful for
analyses of contributions to growth. Thus, the contributions to percent change shown in table 2 provide
a better measure of the composition of GDP growth. In particular, for components for which relative
prices are changing rapidly, calculation of contributions using chained-dollar estimates may be
misleading even just a few years from the reference year.
