Comprehensive Revision of the NIPA's
Revised and updated estimates of the national income and product accounts (NIPA's) resulting from a comprehensive, or benchmark, revision are scheduled for release at the end of
November 1991 and will appear in the November SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS. These estimates will incorporate statistical revisions resulting from (1) newly available source data, such
as the 1982 benchmark input-output tables, the 1987 Economic Censuses, and several annual
surveys for 1989 and 1990, (2) changes in methodology, and (3) a shift, from 1982 to 1987, in
the base period used to express constant-dollar GNP in prices of a single period. The estimates
will also reflect changes in definitions and classifications. In addition, table formats will be
revised and new series presented. The most important of the new series will be alternative
measures of constant-dollar GNP; these measures, described in the April 1989 SURVEY, involve
approaches to weighting that use prices for more than one year. The changes to be introduced
in the comprehensive revision will be described in a SURVEY article this summer.
In general, the statistical revisions will affect the estimates back to 1978, the changes hi
definitions and classifications will affect the estimates as far back as necessary, and the shift
in base period will affect the estimates back to 1929. The estimates released in November will
be limited to 1959 forward and will exclude the GNP by industry series; estimates for earlier
periods and for the industry series will be released during 1992.
The annual NIPA revision covering 1988-90, which would usually be released in July 1991,
will be postponed and combined with the comprehensive revision. The July SURVEY will include
tables showing detailed annual estimates for 1990 on an unrevised basis (in addition to those
that appear monthly in the "Selected NIPA Tables").
