U.S. National Income and Product Accounts:
• Revised Estimates, First Quarter of 1974 to First Quarter of 1977
• Preliminary Estimates, Second Quarter of 1977
ATIONAL income and product estimates for 1973-76 and the first two quarters
of 1977 are presented on the following pages.
Previous estimates for the first quarter of 1974
to the first quarter of 1977 have been revised.
A review of major aspects of the revisions and
of the second-quarter estimates is provided in
the "Business Situation." The quarterly
series that are shown separately each month
in the National Income and Product Tables
are not shown separately in this issue; their
separate presentation will be resumed next
month.
The revised estimates incorporate data that
were not available when the 1976 annual
revision of the national income and product
accounts was prepared. The most important
new source data and the estimates into which
they were incorporated are listed below: Final
1974 and preliminary 1975 Internal Revenue
Service business tax return tabulations (corporate profits, proprietors' income, interest,
inventories other than manufacturing and
trade, and capital consumption allowances);
1976 State unemployment insurance and 1976
Census tabulations of State and local government payroll data (wages and salaries); preliminary 1975 data from the Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare (employer
contributions to the health insurance compo-

nent of "other labor income"); final 1974 and
preliminary 1975 Census tabulations from the
Annual Survey of Manufactures of product
shipments (producers' durable equipment) and
of the book value of inventories and the
methods of determining inventory cost (change
in business inventories); final 1975 Census
tabulations of retail trade inventories from the
Annual Retail Trade Survey (change in
business inventories); revised Census data on
private construction expenditures and construction price and cost indexes for 1974-76
(nonresidential and residential structures); the
Federal budget for fiscal year 1978 and other
Government financial reports (Federal Government receipts and expenditures); and final
Census data on the finances of State and local
governments for fiscal year 1975 and preliminary data for fiscal year 1976 (State and local
government receipts and expenditures). Seasonal adjustment factors have been updated.
The industrial classification underlying the
national income and product estimates that
provide industrial detail has been revised.
This classification is now based on the 1972
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC); it
replaces the 1967 SIC. Industries affected are
marked with an asterisk (*). Pre-1973 estimates based on the 1972 SIC are available on
request.

Seasonally unadjusted estimates of GNP,
personal consumption expenditures, government receipts and expenditures, foreign
transactions, and corporate profits are available on request and will be published in a
subsequent issue.
Several series not previously shown have
been added to the tables: gross and net
product and national income for the domestic
nonfarm business less housing sector (tables
1.7, 1.8, 1.11, 1.12, 7.5, and 7.7); corporate
profits after tax and undistributed profits
after tax with inventory valuation and capital
consumption adjustments (table 1.13); the
fixed-weighted price index for the domestic
nonfarm business sector (table 7.2); and
percent changes in current and constant
dollars, in implicit price deflators, and in the
fixed-weighted and chain price indexes for
final sales and domestic nonfarm business
and percent changes in current and constant
dollars for disposable personal income (table
8.9).
Pre-1973 estimates for the two profits
series were published in the November 1976
SURVEY; estimates for the other new series
shown are available on request. Pre-1973
estimates for all other series are in The
National Income and Product Accounts of the
United States, 1929-74: Statistical Tables.
