1 Initial Results of the 2003 Comprehensive Revision of the National
Income and Product Accounts
On December 10, 2003, BEA released revised estimates for 1929-2002 from the
12th comprehensive revision of the accounts. According to the revised estimates,
between 1992 and 2002, real GDP grew at an average annual rate of 3.2 percent,
the same rate as previously estimated. Consumer spending and residential
investment increased slightly more than previously estimated, but exports and
government spending increased slightly less. The pace of the current expansion
was revised down slightly: From the third quarter of 2001 to the second quarter of
2003, the growth rate of real GDP was revised from 2.7 percent to 2.6 percent.

43 The Effects of Revisions to Seasonal Factors on Revisions to
Seasonally Adjusted Estimates: The Case of Exports and Imports
Seasonal adjustments are used to remove the effects of recurring patterns of
economic activity, such as increased consumer spending during the holidays. This
study examines the importance of revisions to the underlying seasonally
unadjusted data for the exports and imports of goods and services in BEA’s
international transactions accounts, relative to the effects of revisions to seasonal
factors.

52 The Reliability of the State Personal Income Estimates
A recent study by BEA found that the quarterly estimates of state personal income
are reliable indicators of whether a state’s economy is expanding or contracting,
whether a state’s economy is accelerating or decelerating, and whether a state’s
economy is growing at rates that are above, below, or near long-term trend. As a
result, the estimates present a consistent picture of a state’s economic growth.

December 2003

On December 10, 2003, the Bureau o f Economic Analysis released the initial results of
the comprehensive revision of the national income and product accounts. The news
release is reprinted below with minor editorial corrections.

C om prehensive Revision of the National Incom e and
Product Accounts
1 9 2 9 T h r o u g h S e c o n d Q u a r te r 2 0 0 3
Today, BEA is releasing revised estimates of gross do­
mestic product (GDP) and other national income and
product accounts (NIPAs) series from 1929 through
the second quarter of 2003. Comprehensive revisions,
which are carried out about every 4 to 5 years, are an
important part of BEA’s regular process for improving
and modernizing its accounts to keep pace with the
ever-changing U.S. economy.
Most of the tables in this release present revised
estimates beginning with 1992; estimates beginning
with 1929 are available on the BEA Web site
<www.bea.gov> and will be published in the
January 2004 issue of BEAs monthly journal, the

The picture of the economy shown in the revised es­
timates is very similar in broad outline to the picture
shown in the previously published estimates. The simi­
larity in outline and some of the differences in detail
can be seen in the following:
• For 1992-2002, the average growth rate of real GDP
is 3.2 percent, the same as in the previously pub­
lished estimates. Consumer spending and residen­
tial investment increased a little more than in the
previously published estimates, but exports and
government spending increased a little less. For the
subperiod 1994-2000, the rate of growth is also the
same as in the previously published estimates (3.8
percent).
• Similarly, for 1992-2002, the average rate of change

in prices paid by U.S. residents is the same as in the
previously published estimates (1.8 percent).
• From the fourth quarter of 2000 to the third quarter
of 2001, real GDP decreased 0.5 percent; in the pre­
viously published estimates, it decreased 0.6 per­
cent. In the revised estimates, real GDP decreased
slightly in the third quarter of 2000; in the previ­
ously published estimates, it had increased through­
out the year.
• The pace of the current expansion has been revised
down slightly; from the third quarter of 2001 to the
second quarter of 2003, the average growth rate of
real GDP is revised from 2.7 percent to 2.6 percent.
• Corporate profits is revised up substantially for
2002; profits of domestic industries as a percentage
of gross domestic income is revised up from 6.3
percent to 7.1 percent.

Improvements Incorporated in This
Comprehensive Revision
Comprehensive revisions incorporate three major
types of improvements:
• Changes in definitions and classifications that
update the accounts to more accurately portray the
evolving U.S. economy,
• Presentational changes that make the NIPA tables
more informative and easier to use, and
• Statistical changes that introduce new and improved
methodologies and that bring in newly available

o t e . Quarterly estimates are expressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, unless otherwise specified. Quarter-to-quarter dollar changes are differences between these published estimates. Percent changes are calculated from
unrounded data and annualized. “Real” estimates are in chained (2000) dollars. Price indexes are chain-type mea­
sures.

and revised source data.
The improvements incorporated in the estimates
being released today have been previewed in a series
of articles in the S u r v e y and are available on BEA’s
Web site at <www.bea.gov/bea/dn/2003benchmark/
CR2003.htm>.

Changes in definitions and classifications
The changes in definitions and classifications intro­
duced in this comprehensive revision include the fol­
lowing:
•The implicit services provided by property and
casualty insurance are recognized, and the treat­
ment of insured losses is improved; as a result, large
swings in measured insurance services associated
with catastrophic losses such as those of September
11th and of Hurricane Andrew are eliminated.
•A portion of the implicit services of commercial
banks is allocated to borrowers, thereby recognizing
that both borrowers and depositors receive these
services.
• The definition of national income is broadened to
include all net incomes (net of consumption of
fixed capital) earned in production. For example,
under the new definition, national income will
include taxes on production and imports (formerly,
indirect business taxes).

Presentational changes
Noteworthy changes in presentation include the fol­
lowing:
• The reference year for chain-type quantity and price
indexes and for chained-dollar estimates has been
updated from 1996 to 2000.
• Many new tables show percent changes in GDP
components, contributions to percent change,
and relative shares of GDP and of gross domestic
income.
•A new organization and numbering system is intro­
duced for the NIPA tables that groups together the
different measures for a given set of components
and that allows the addition of new tables more easily.
• Industry estimates are based on the North American
Industrial Classification System (NAICS), which
deals well with new and emerging industries.

Statistical changes
Improved methodologies. Several important method­
ology changes are also incorporated in this revision
and include the following:
• The estimates of used motor vehicles reflect new
methods and source data for estimating net transac­
tions and total dealers’ margins.




December 2003

•The estimates of personal consumption expendi­
tures for hotels and motels reflect new source data
on U.S. residents’ lodging expenditures by sector
and nonresidents’ spending on lodging.
• The estimates of real nonresidentiai structures and
of photocopy equipment reflect the use of new
quality-adjusted price indexes.
• The estimates of corporate profits for recent periods
for which Internal Revenue Service tabulations of
corporate tax returns are unavailable reflect a new
adjustment for the exercise of stock options.
New and revised data. The revised estimates also
reflect the incorporation of newly available and revised
source data. The most important source data that af­
fect the current-dollar and “real” estimates prior to
2000 are the following: BEA’s benchmark 1997 inputoutput (I-O) accounts; data on inventories, on receipts
and expenses of business establishments and of gov­
ernments, on sales by detailed commodity and by mer­
chandise line, and on final industry and product
shipments from the 1997 Economic Census, and on
trade margins from both the 1997 Economic Census
and the 1997 annual surveys of merchant wholesale
and retail trade; and data on housing units from the
2000 decennial Census of Housing. In addition, esti­
mates that are based on BEA’s international transac­
tions accounts (ITAs)— primarily net exports of goods
and services and rest-of-the-world income receipts and
payments— reflect improvements to the ITAs that have
been introduced since 1999. Estimates of private struc­
tures reflect Census Bureau revisions to the surveys of
value of construction put-in-place data that go back to
1978. Other data that were incorporated include the
following: Data on expenditures and receipts of state
and local governments for fiscal years 1997-99 from
the Census Bureau; final data on employer pension
and profit-sharing plans for 1995-98 from the Depart­
ment of Labor; revised data on mortgage debt out­
standing, beginning with 1982, and on consumer debt
outstanding and the effective rate of interest on con­
sumer debt outstanding, beginning with 1980, from
the Federal Reserve Board; and new Census Bureau
“exact-match” files based on tabulations of Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) individual tax returns for 1996
and 1999.
The revised estimates for 2000 forward also reflect
the incorporation of newly available and revised
source data that became available since the last annual
NIPA revision in July 2002. The most important of
these data are the following: Census Bureau data from
annual surveys of state and local governments (for fis­
cal years 2000 (final) and 2001 (preliminary)), of man­
ufactures, of merchant wholesale trade, and of retail
trade (for 2000 (revised) and 2001 (preliminary));

December 2003

Survey of Current Business

Census Bureau data from the services annual survey
and from the surveys of the value of construction putin-place for 2001 and 2002; Census Bureau data from
the American Housing Survey for 2001; Federal Gov­
ernment budget data (for fiscal years 2002 and 2003);
ITA data for 2000-2002 (revised); Bureau of Labor Sta­
tistics (BLS) tabulations of wages and salaries of em­
ployees covered by state unemployment insurance for
2001 and 2002 (revised); newly available IRS tabula­
tions of corporate tax returns for 2000 (final) and 2001
(preliminary); U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) farm statistics for 2002; and newly available
IRS tabulations of sole proprietorship and partnership
tax returns for 2001.
In the aggregate, changes in definitions and classifi­
cations lowered current-dollar GDP, and statistical
changes (improved data and methodologies) raised
GDP, as shown in chart 1 for 1992-2002.

the first quarter of 1998. Three of the regular ta­
bles— tables 3, 11, and 12— are split into A and B seg­
ments in this release in order to accommodate this
longer-than-usual time span. The regular news release
tables on real GDP percent change from quarter a year
ago (table 8) and on gross value added of nonfinancial
corporate business (table 13), as well as appendix table
A, are not yet available; they will be posted on BEA’s
Web site in a few days as part of the regular NIPA ta­
bles.

Revisions to Real Gross Domestic
Product (GDP), Prices, and Income
For this comprehensive revision, most current-dollar
series are revised back to 1993, and many are revised
back to 1929, the earliest year for which the NIPA esti­
mates are available.

News release tables
This release includes most of the tables that will regu­
larly be shown in future GDP news releases; in addi­
tion, special tables have been included to highlight the
effects of the comprehensive revision. The special ta­
bles are
• Tables 1A, 2A, and 4A, which show revised and pre­
viously published estimates for percent changes in
real GDP, contributions to percent change in real
GDP, and percent changes in price indexes, respec­
tively;
•Table IB, which shows revisions to current-dollar
GDP and selected income components; and
• Tables 7A-7C, which show annual levels, percent
changes, and revisions to percent changes for current-dollar GDP, for real GDP, and for price indexes
for GDP, respectively.
Most of the tables show annual estimates beginning
with 1992; quarterly estimates (if shown) begin with



For 1929-2002, the average annual rate of growth of
real GDP is 3.4 percent, the same as in the previously
published estimates. Over the shorter period, 19922002, the growth rate is 3.2 percent in both the revised
and previously published estimates. For the 1994-2000
subperiod, the growth rate is also the same in both the
revised and previously published estimates (3.8 per­
cent). Since 1992, personal consumption expenditures
(PCE) and residential fixed investment grew somewhat
faster in the revised estimates, and exports of goods
and services and government consumption expendi­
tures and gross investment grew somewhat slower.
The revisions to year-to-year real GDP growth are
generally less than 0.1 percentage point between 1959
and 1971, but they are more sizable thereafter. The
largest upward revision before 1959 is 0.3 percentage
point for 1940; downward revisions of 0.2 percentage
point are recorded for 3 years (1937, 1947, and 1952).
The largest upward revision after 1959 is 0.4 percent­
age point for 1999, and upward revisions of 0.3 per­
centage point are recorded for 1985, 1991, and 1992;
the largest downward revision after 1959 is 0.3 per­
centage point recorded for 1976. For the 3 most recent
years, growth is revised as follows:
• Down from 3.8 percent to 3.7 percent for 2000,
• Up from 0.3 percent to 0.5 percent for 2001, and
• Down from 2.4 percent to 2.2 percent for 2002.

Business cycles
From the fourth quarter of 2000 to the third quarter of
2001, real GDP decreased 0.5 percent; in the previously
published estimates, it decreased 0.6 percent. In the re­
vised estimates, real GDP also decreased slightly in the
third quarter of 2000. The pace of the current expan­
sion has been revised down slightly; from the third

4

Initial Results of the Comprehensive NIPA Revision

quarter of 2001 to the second quarter of 2003, the
growth rate of real GDP is revised from 2.7 percent to
2.6 percent. Earlier business cycles show very little revi­
sion.
Price changes
For 1929-2002, the average annual increases in both
the price index for gross domestic purchases and the
price index for GDP are 3.0 percent, the same as in the
previously published estimates. For 1992-2002, the av­
erage annual increase in the price index for gross do­
mestic purchases is 1.8 percent, the same as in the
previously published estimates; the price index for
GDP is 1.9 percent, also the same as in the previously
published estimates.
Real disposable personal income (DPI)
growth
For 1929-2002, the average annual increase in real DPI
is 3.3 percent, the same as in the previously published
estimates. For 1992-2002, the average annual increase
in real DPI is 3.2 percent, 0.1 percentage point more
than in the previously published estimates.
Personal saving
The revisions are relatively small through 1986. Begin­
ning with 1987, the revisions are larger and all down­
ward. The downward revisions reflect upward
revisions to PCE and downward revisions to personal
income (discussed below). The downward revisions to
personal saving result in corresponding downward re­
visions to the personal saving rate— personal saving as
a percentage of DPI— that range from 0.2 percentage
point for 1999 to 1.4 percentage points for 2002.

Revisions to Current-Dollar Estimates
The revisions to current-dollar GDP and to selected
measures of income are shown in table IB. This table
shows the “revisions in level”— that is, the revised esti­
mates less the previously published estimates— and the
revisions as a percent of the previously published esti­
mates for selected years.

Gross domestic product (GDP)
Since 1959, GDP is revised down for 31 years and is re­
vised up for 13 years. (See also chart 2.) Over the entire
period, GDP is generally reduced by the reallocation of
a portion of the implicit services of commercial banks
from depositors to borrowers; relatively large reduc­
tions begin with 1987. (Services imputed to business
borrowers are treated as intermediate purchases and,
therefore, are not part of GDP.) In contrast, GDP is
raised by the recognition of the implicit services pro­
vided by the investment income of property and casu­
alty insurance companies. Generally, the reduction in
GDP resulting from the new treatment of banking ser­
vices outweighs the increase in GDP resulting from the
new treatment of insurance services.
Excluding all the changes in definitions and classifi­
cations, current-dollar GDP is revised down by small
amounts for 1959-80 (except for 1979 when there is a
small upward revision), and it is revised up beginning
with 1981. The revisions tend to increase over time; the
largest is an upward revision of about 1 percent of
GDP for 2002.
Personal consumption expenditures (PCE)
Revisions to PCE are relatively small through 1988;
PCE for services is generally the main source of the re­
visions. From 1989 forward, PCE is revised up. PCE
for durable goods is the main source of the upward re­
visions through 1999; for 1995-99, there are partly off­
setting downward revisions to PCE for nondurable
goods. For 2000-2002, upward revisions to durable
goods and to services are partly offset by downward re­
visions to nondurable goods. For the entire period, the
revisions reflect changes in definitions and classifica­
tions; until 1982, the revisions attributable to new
source data and methodologies are small.

S u rv ey of C u rrent B usiness

Services. For 1978 forward, downward revisions to
services resulting from the new treatment o f banking
services more than offset upward revisions resulting
from the new treatment o f insurance services. Banking
and insurance are not the only notable sources o f revi­
sion to PCE for services. Beginning with 1960, PCE for
religious and welfare activities is revised down, reflect­
ing the improved allocations to PCE com m odity cate­
gories made possible by NAICS. Beginning with the
1980s, PCE for housing is revised up, reflecting, in
part, improved data on lodging at hotels and motels.
Also beginning with the 1980s, PCE for transportation
services is revised up, reflecting, in part, the new treat­
ment o f motor vehicle insurance services. PCE for
medical services is revised up (and the revisions in­
crease over time), reflecting the recognition o f the im ­
plicit services provided by health insurance companies,
the improved allocations made possible by NAICS, as
well as the incorporation o f newly available and re­
vised source data.
Durable goods. Notable upward revisions to PCE
for durable goods begin with 1987. For 1987-90, the
revisions mainly reflect improved estimates o f net
transactions in used light trucks. (The improvement
involves the use o f average auction prices to value the
change in unit stocks.) For 1991 forward, a similar
methodology has been applied to the estimation o f net
transactions in used autos. Beginning with 1994, up­
ward revisions to furniture and equipment primarily
reflect the incorporation o f results from the 1997 1-0
table.
Nondurable goods. Upward revisions for 1988-93
largely reflect revisions to gasoline and oil. Beginning
with 1995, downward revisions are more than ac­
counted for by food and by clothing and shoes; the re­
visions mainly reflect the incorporation o f results from
the 1997 1 -0 table.

Private fixed investment
The revisions begin with 1978 and are relatively small
through 1996, as downward revisions to nonresidentiai
fixed investment are generally offset by upward revi­
sions to residential fixed investment. For 1997-2000,
the downward revisions to nonresidentiai outweigh
the upward revisions to residential. For 2001 and 2002,
the revisions are almost offsetting. The downward re­
visions to nonresidentiai fixed investment primarily
reflect revisions to equipment and software; revisions
to nonresidentiai structures are generally smaller.
Nonresidentiai structures. Upward revisions occur
for 1978-92 and downward revisions occur for 1993
forward (except for 1995). The revisions (except for
1997 and 1998) are relatively small and primarily re­




5

flect revisions to Census Bureau estimates o f the value
o f construction put-in-place and the incorporation of
data from the 1997 1-0 accounts.
Equipment and software. Downward revisions for
1978 forward start out very small but become large.
For 1978-86, the revisions mainly reflect improve­
ments to the measurement o f computer software that
were introduced in the 1997 1 -0 accounts. For 19872002, the revisions reflect improvements to the mea­
surement o f used trucks and o f computer software.
Residential fixed investm ent. Upward revisions for
1983 forward start out very small but becom e large and
reflect an improved methodology for estimating resi­
dential improvements and revised Census Bureau data
on the value o f construction put-in place.

Change in private inventories
The revisions begin with 1991 and are small through
1996, primarily reflecting the inclusion o f farm mate­
rials and supplies in the definition o f private farm in­
ventories. Beginning with 1997, a mixed pattern o f
revisions continues, but the magnitudes are generally
larger; nonfarm inventories dominate these revisions,
though for 2002, an upward revision to nonfarm
inventories is largely offset by a downward revision
to farm inventories. The revisions to nonfarm inven­
tories primarily reflect newly available and revised
Census Bureau data on inventory book values, the in ­
corporation o f new com m odity price weights from the
1997 1 -0 accounts, and revised producer prices.

Exports and imports of goods and services
Revisions to net exports o f goods and services are small
through 1987— at first upward and then downward.
Thereafter, revisions are downward for all years; they
tend to grow larger over time, but the revision for 2002
is small.
Exports. Through 1988, revisions are relatively
small and generally upward; thereafter, larger down­
ward revisions occur. For most years, the revisions are
mainly accounted for by services (2002 is an exception,
in that goods account for most o f the revision). The re­
visions to exports o f services mainly reflect the new
treatments o f insurance and o f banking services, as
well as a reclassification o f military grants from Federal
Government consumption expenditures to exports o f
services.
Imports. Upward revisions begin with 1986 and
tend to be small through 1997; imports is revised down
slightly for 1998. Larger upward revisions occur for
1999-2001, and a downward revision occurs for 2002.
The new treatment o f insurance services contributes to
the upward revisions throughout the period; for 2002,

6

the incorporation o f revised estimates from the ITAs
more than offsets the contribution from this defini­
tional change.

Government consumption expenditures and
gross investment
Revisions prior to 1959 are very small. Beginning
with 1959, the revisions for all but 5 years are
downward. Through 1996, the revisions generally re­
main small (except for 1986, when the new treatment
o f banking services more than accounts for a large
upward revision); for 1997-2002, the revisions are
much larger. Downward revisions for 1959-84 are pri­
marily accounted for by the Federal Government, al­
though state and local government also contributes.
Through 1975, the revisions to Federal spending pri­
marily reflect the reclassification o f military grants. Be­
ginning with
1972, new source data and
m ethodologies becom e important and contribute to
the downward revisions; these revisions are mainly to
consumption o f general government fixed capital, re­
flecting improved price estimates for military equip­
ment and, beginning with the 1990s, revised estimates
o f software investment. As noted, the new treatment o f
banking services also contributes to the revisions, most
notably beginning with 1985, sometimes raising
spending, other times reducing spending. Beginning
with 1997, state and local spending accounts for most
o f the downward revisions; the revisions for 1997 and
1998 primarily reflect the incorporation o f newly
available medical insurance data for government
employees, and the revisions for 1999-2002 primarily
reflect the incorporation o f G overnm ent Finances data.

Personal income
For 1929-81, downward revisions to personal income
mainly reflect revisions to personal interest income;

through 1977, the revisions are small— proprietors’ in­
come contributes to the downward revisions, and
rental income o f persons moderates them. (See also
chart 3.) For 1982-86, the revisions to personal income
are upward, and again personal interest income is the
main contributor. For 1987-97, downward revisions to
personal income are accounted for by downward revi­
sions to personal interest income, to supplements to
wages and salaries, and to proprietors’ income; they
are moderated by upward revisions to rental income of
persons.
For the 5 most recent years, the revisions to personal
income can be summarized as follows:
• 1998: A small downward revision is accounted for
by personal interest incom e and by wages and sala­
ries; it is moderated by supplements.
• 1999: An upward revision is mainly accounted for
by supplements and by personal dividend income; it
is moderated by personal interest incom e and by
wages and salaries.
• 2000: An upward revision is mainly accounted for
by supplements, by personal current transfer
receipts, and by proprietors’ income; it is moder­
ated by personal interest income and by wages and
salaries.
• 2001: An upward revision is mainly accounted for
by supplements, by proprietors’ income, by rental
income, and by personal current transfer receipts; it
is moderated by personal interest income, by divi­
dend income, and by wages and salaries.
• 2002: A downward revision is mainly accounted for
by personal interest income, by personal dividend
income, and by wages and salaries; it is moderated
by supplements, by proprietors’ income, and by
rental income.
The revisions to the components o f personal in­
come are discussed below.
Wage and salary disbursem ents. Through 1988, re­
visions are upward and small. Beginning with 1989,
the revisions are downward and become more notable
beginning with 1994, reflecting downward revisions to
private wages and salaries that are partly offset by up­
ward revisions to government wages and salaries. A
large downward revision for 2002 primarily reflects the
more complete incorporation o f tabulations o f wage
and salary data from the BLS for private and state and
local government employees who are covered by state
unemployment insurance.
Supplem ents to wages and salaries. Through 1986,
revisions are small and downward; they remain dow n­
ward but become larger through 1995. Beginning with
1996, the revisions are upward, becom ing large begin­
ning with 1997. The revisions reflect the pattern o f re­

December 2003

visions to employer contributions for pension and
insurance funds. Upward revisions to employer contri­
butions for pensions begin with 1989, reflecting m eth­
odology improvements and more complete source
data, including more complete pension data from the
Department o f Labor for 1988-98. Downward revi­
sions to employer contributions for health insurance
for 1987-96 reflect an improved m ethodology that in­
corporates the results o f the annual medical expendi­
ture panel survey; beginning with 1998, upward
revisions reflect newly available source data.
Proprietors’ incom e. Through 1997, m ost revisions
are downward. For 1998, a small upward revision oc­
curs, and for 1999, a slight downward revision occurs,
followed by large upward revisions for 2000-2002.
Through 1983, the revisions generally reflect down­
ward revisions to both farm and nonfarm proprietors’
income. Beginning with 1984, the revisions primarily
reflect the pattern of revisions to nonfarm proprietors’
income. The revisions to farm proprietors’ income re­
flect the reclassification o f farm housing services from
proprietors’ income to rental income o f persons and,
for recent years, newly available data from the USDA.
Prior to 2001, the revisions to nonfarm proprietors’ in­
come primarily reflect a number o f statistical improve­
ments. The large revisions for 2001 and 2002 also
reflect the incorporation o f newly available IRS tabula­
tions o f sole proprietorship and partnership tax re­
turns for 2001.
Rental incom e o f persons. Through 1977, the revi­
sions are upward and small, after which the pattern o f
revisions is mixed although the magnitudes remain
relatively small through 1991. Beginning with 1992,
the revisions are mostly upward with particularly large
upward revisions for 2001 and 2002. The reclassifica­
tion o f farm housing services contributes to the up­
ward revisions throughout the period. In addition, the
revisions for 2001 and 2002 reflect the incorporation
o f newly available source data from the Census Bu­
reau’s American Housing Survey.
Personal interest income. The revisions are rela­
tively small and m ostly downward through 1977. Be­
ginning with 1978, the revisions becom e larger and
remain downward (except for 1982-86). For most
years, the revisions reflect generally downward revi­
sions attributed to the new treatment o f banking ser­
vices that are partly offset by upward revisions
attributed to the new treatment o f insurance services.
The revisions also reflect the incorporation o f revised
and newly available source data for estimating net in­
terest and miscellaneous payments (see below) and
data on consumer debt outstanding from the Federal
Reserve Board.
Personal dividend incom e. The revisions are rela­



7

tively small through 2000 (except for 1999, which
shows a notable upward revision); the revisions pri­
marily reflect newly incorporated data from the ITAs
on dividends from the rest o f the world. For 2001 and
2002, large downward revisions primarily reflect the
incorporation of newly available IRS tabulations o f
corporate tax return data for 2001 and data from com ­
pany financial statements.
Personal current transfer receipts. Through 1990,
the revisions are generally small and upward. For
1991-98, the revisions are downward, and for
1999-2002, they are upward. The revisions mostly
reflect the pattern o f revisions to “other current trans­
fer receipts, from business (net)” (formerly “business
transfer payments”). For 2002, the revision also re­
flects an upward revision to old-age, survivors, dis­
ability, and health insurance benefits, reflecting newly
available data on Medicare benefits, and downward re­
visions to government unemployment insurance
benefits and to state and local Medicaid benefits.
Contributions for governm ent social insurance.
The revisions for contributions for government social
insurance (which is deducted in the calculation o f per­
sonal income) are small throughout the period.
Personal current taxes. This com ponent consists of
tax components that were included in the former ag­
gregate “personal tax and nontax payments”; however,
the nontax components are reclassified as personal
current transfer payment to government. Therefore,
the pattern for the new series is similar to that o f the
previously published series, although the revised levels
are somewhat lower.
D isposable personal incom e (DPI). The pattern o f
revisions to disposable personal income reflects the re­
visions to personal income and to personal current
taxes. Through 1974, the revisions to DPI are very
small; beginning with 1975, there is a mixed pattern:
Upward revisions for 1975 and 1976, downward revi­
sions for 1977-81, upward revisions for 1982-86,
downward revisions for 1987-95 (except for 1989),
and upward revisions for 1996-2002.
Personal outlays. This series now consists o f PCE,
personal interest payments, and personal current
transfer payments. The revision to personal outlays,
primarily reflects the revisions to PCE that were previ­
ously described. In addition, the revised levels o f the
series reflect the inclusion of personal current transfer
payments to government, which was formerly classi­
fied as personal nontaxes.

National income
The revisions are upward for all years and grow pro­
gressively larger over time. They mainly reflect the re­
definition o f national income to include nonfactor

incomes, notably taxes on production and imports,
which grew from $6.8 billion for 1929 to $760.1 billion
for 2002.

Corporate profits with inventory valuation and
capital consumption adjustments
Revisions are generally upward and small through
1980, growing larger thereafter; the revision for 2002
is very large. (See also chart 4.) Through 1999, the
revisions largely reflect the pattern o f revisions to the
capital consumption adjustment. The revisions for
2000-2002 reflect revised 2000 and newly available
2001 IRS tabulations o f corporate tax returns. In addi­
tion, the revision for 2002 reflects a new stock-options
adjustment that offsets a timing problem between the
treatment o f nonqualified stock options in reported
wages and salaries and the treatment o f exercised stock
options in the corporate profits data. Profits from the
rest o f the world are revised beginning with 1982; the
revisions are relatively small and generally upward
through 2000, with larger upward revisions for 2001
and 2002.

mixed through 1986; beginning with 1987, the revi­
sions are downward and generally become larger. The
overall revisions reflect mostly downward revisions at­
tributable to the new treatment o f banking services
that are partly offset by upward revisions attributable
to the new treatment o f insurance services. The revi­
sions also reflect the incorporation o f revised and
newly available source data from the Federal Reserve
Board on mortgage debt outstanding, from BEA’s
ITAs, and, beginning with 2000, from IRS tabulations
o f business tax returns.

Consumption of fixed capital (CFC)
The revisions to the NIPA measure o f depreciation are
downward for most years. They are generally small
through 1980 and become larger thereafter. The revi­
sions reflect revised investment estimates and three
statistical improvements: The incorporation o f new
service lives for private aircraft, separate estimation of
CFC for light trucks, and a revised depreciation sched­
ule for autos.

Statistical discrepancy
Net interest and miscellaneous payments
The revisions are very small until the mid-1970s, when
they become more notable. The pattern o f revisions is

For 1959-77, revisions to GDP and to gross domestic
income (GDI) are in the same direction and o f similar
magnitude; thus, there is little effect on the statistical

discrepancy, which is the difference between GDP and
GDI. (In theory, GDP should equal GDI; in practice,
they differ because their components are estimated us­
ing largely independent and less-than-perfect source
data.) For 1978-86, the revisions to GDP and to GDI
continue to be in the same direction but the magni­
tudes differ more; thus, for some o f these years, the sta­
tistical discrepancy is revised up, and for others, it is

9

revised down (the revisions to the discrepancy remain
relatively small). Beginning with 1987, the statistical
discrepancy is revised up (becoming more positive or
less negative): For 1987-90, GDI is revised down more
than GDP; for 1991-94, GDP is revised up, and GDI is
revised down; for 1995-2000 (except for 1996), GDI is
again revised down more than GDP; and for 2001 and
2002, GDP is revised up more than GDI.

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 particu­
lar period. Changes in current-dollar GDP can be decomposed
into quantity and price components. Quantities, or “real” mea­
sures, and prices are expressed as index numbers with the refer­
ence year—at present, the year 2000—equal to 100.
Annual changes in quantities and prices are calculated using
a Fisher formula that incorporates weights from 2 adjacent
years.1 (Quarterly changes in quantities and prices are calcu­
lated using a Fisher formula that incorporates weights from two
adjacent quarters; quarterly indexes are adjusted for consis­
tency to the annual indexes before percent changes are calcu­
lated.) For example, the 2001-2002 annual percent change in
real GDP uses prices for 2001 and 2002 as weights, and the
2001-2002 annual percent change in GDP prices uses quanti­
ties for 2001 and 2002 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, and 7. Contributions by major components to
changes in real GDP are presented in table 2.

Measures of real GDP and its major components are also pre­
sented in dollar-denominated form, designated “chained
(2000) dollar estimates.” For most series, these estimates, which
are presented in table 3, are computed by multiplying the current-dollar value in 2000 by a corresponding quantity index
number and then dividing by 100. For example, if a cur­
rent-dollar GDP component equaled $100 in 2000 and if real
output for this component increased 10 percent in 2001, then
the chained (2000) dollar value of this component in 2001
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 aggre­
gates) 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 fur­
ther from the reference year, the residuals tend to be larger, and
the chained-dollar estimates are less useful for analyses of con­
tributions 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 rela­
tive prices are changing rapidly, calculation of contributions
using chained-dollar estimates may be misleading even just a
few years from the reference year.

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.

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.

1. Government consumption expenditures and gross investment.
2. Revised percent change less the previously published percent change.
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 impor­
tance or its contribution to the growth rate of more aggregate series. For accurate estimates of the contributions
to percent changes in real GDP, use table 2.

UCH o f BEA’s source data contains monthly or
quarterly patterns that approximately recur
each year. In order to determine what is new or dis­
tinctive about economic activity in a particular month
or quarter, seasonal adjustments are used to remove
the effects o f these recurring patterns. Previous BEA
studies o f revisions to seasonal adjustment factors
found that the revisions are relatively large sources of
the revisions to gross domestic product (GDP) and its
com ponents.1
This article focuses on the effects of the revisions to
the seasonal adjustment factors and the revisions to
seasonally unadjusted estimates.2 In particular, it looks
at the exports and imports recorded in BEA’s interna­
tional transaction accounts— where the use o f prelimi­
nary source data results in large revisions to the early
estimates— and it examines the relative importance o f
revisions to the underlying seasonally unadjusted data
relative to the effects o f revisions to seasonal factors.
Seasonal adjustment is a statistical procedure that is
used to distinguish seasonal fluctuations from changes
in trend growth. It is used, for example to look at the
fourth-quarter jump in sales that occurs every year
around Christmas and to determine if the increase in
any given year is more than the normal Christmas
increase and thereby indicative o f a strengthening in
the economy.
The concept o f a “normal” increase is a relative one
and can only be judged by reference to some average
over recent periods. A string o f stronger-than-normal
1. Young (1996) reported that “the average absolute revision in quarterly
changes in the seasonal factors in the period 1983 to 1988 ... is about one
half the size of the total revision (seasonally adjusted) from the current esti­
mates to the latest available estimate of GDP.” Fixler and Grimm (2002)
found that mean absolute revisions in seasonal factors in 1 9 87-97 were
roughly the same sizes as the corresponding revisions to seasonally adjusted
estimates of GDP and seven major components, including exports and im ­
ports of goods and services; the revisions examined were from the first
annual revision vintage estimates to the third annual revision vintage
national income and product accounts (NIPAs).
2. Seasonally unadjusted estimates are also described by BEA as “not sea­
sonally adjusted.”

Survey M ethodology a t BEA in the sum m er o f 2002.

Christmas sales will therefore change the average used
to judge what is normal and the associated seasonal
adjustment factors. As a result, one can observe large
revisions to seasonally adjusted estimates as they are
updated each year to reflect changing seasonal pat­
terns, even if there are no substantial changes in the
underlying seasonally unadjusted estimates.
For most components o f exports and imports, sea­
sonal factors are calculated by a process that is centered
on the year being seasonally adjusted. As a result, the
ultimate estimates o f seasonal factors depend on both
the patterns o f the seasonal fluctuations in past years
and on the patterns o f seasonal fluctuations in future
years when the early vintage seasonally adjusted esti­
mates are prepared. Seasonal factors for year y will ulti­
mately depend on both the seasonal patterns in years
y -n to y and the seasonal patterns in years y + 1 to y+n.
Because future seasonal patterns are unknown— and
unforecastable— when the early vintage estimates are
prepared, large revisions to seasonal factors that result
from the incorporation o f data for later years are un­
avoidable. Finally, the revisions to seasonal factors are
not errors, and they can occur with the passage o f
time, even if no revisions to seasonally unadjusted esti­
mates for a given year— or for preceding years— are
made; for example, as seasonal patterns evolve over
time, estimates o f seasonal factors for year y will
change from their initial values.
The principal findings o f this article include
• Mean (average) revisions to seasonal adjustment
factors for exports and imports o f goods and ser­
vices are o f the opposite sign of the revisions to sea­
sonally unadjusted estimates, and they tend to be
offsetting.
• Mean absolute revisions to seasonal factors are the
principal determinants o f the mean absolute revi­
sions to the seasonally adjusted estimates o f exports
and imports o f goods and services.
• Mean absolute revisions to seasonal factors for
exports and imports o f goods and services can be
considerably larger than the revisions to the season­
ally unadjusted estimates.

Effects of Revisions to Seasonal Factors

The revisions to seasonally unadjusted estimates re­
flect the incorporation o f somewhat different types o f
data than the revisions to seasonal factors. The revi­
sions to seasonally unadjusted estimates reflect the in­
corporation o f source data that become available after
the earlier vintage estimates for a given period are pre­
pared, and they may use new types o f source data. In
addition, the revisions may incorporate changes in
definitions, classifications, and statistical m ethodology
that adapt the econom ic accounts to changing eco­
nom ic conditions. At more detailed levels, large revi­
sions to seasonally unadjusted estimates may reflect
the limitations o f the earlier available source data.
These types o f revisions are all due to improvements in
the econom ic accounts and do not indicate difficulties
such as biases or other unreliability. The revisions to
seasonal factors may also reflect revisions to the sea­
sonally unadjusted estimates; in this case, revisions to
the seasonal factors tend to offset the revisions to sea­
sonally unadjusted estimates and thus hold down the
sizes o f revisions to seasonally adjusted estimates.
The revisions to seasonally adjusted estimates are
driven by the interactions between the two types o f re­
visions— the revisions to the seasonally unadjusted es­
timates and the revisions to the seasonal factors. If the
seasonal factors are unchanged, the revisions to the
seasonally adjusted estimates would be entirely due to
the revisions to the seasonally unadjusted estimates.
Conversely, if the seasonally unadjusted estimates are
unchanged, the revisions to the seasonally adjusted es­
timates would be entirely due to revisions to the sea­
sonal factors. When both the seasonal factors and the
seasonally unadjusted estimates are revised, the mean
absolute revisions for the seasonally adjusted estimates
may be smaller than the mean absolute revisions for ei­
ther type o f revision, may be in between the sizes o f the
two types, or may be larger than those for either type.
The extent to which the revisions to the two types of
estimates offset each other or reinforce each other de­
pends on the complex way in which they interact over
time.
The revisions to the seasonally adjusted estimates
may be disaggregated into revisions to seasonally un­
adjusted estimates, revisions to seasonal factors, and
the interaction term between revisions to the two. In
this study, the interaction term is included in the revi­
sions to seasonal factors; that is, the effects of the revi­
sions to the seasonal factors are measured as
Revisions to seasonal factors = revisions to seasonally
adjusted estimates less revisions to seasonally unadjusted
estimates.




December 2003

This treatment o f the interaction term is arbitrary,
but it may be justified on the grounds that without
revisions to seasonal factors, the interaction term
would be zero. Separate calculations using selected
components o f exports and imports— not shown
here— suggest that the interaction term is generally
small relative to the effects o f revisions to the seasonal
factors alone.3
The measures o f imports and exports examined in
this article are from the international transactions
accounts (ITAs), which are published quarterly by
BEA. The estimates are published both on a seasonally
adjusted basis and on a seasonally unadjusted basis.
They differ somewhat from those published in the
NIPAs because of differences in geographical coverage,
in the treatment o f international flows o f gold, and in
the definitional treatment o f a few components and
because o f statistical differences due to differences in
the timing o f the revisions in the ITAs and the NIPAs.4

Preparing the Estimates of Exports and
Imports of Goods and Services
Timing of the estimates
In the ITAs, two vintages o f estimates for a quarter are
prepared— the “preliminary” estimates and the “re­
vised” estimates. The preliminary estimates o f the
ITAs, including those o f exports and imports o f goods
and services, are released in the 3rd m onth after the
end o f each quarter. The revised estimates are released
3 months later when the preliminary estimates for the
next quarter are released. Each June, revised annual es­
timates are released along with the revised estimates
for the fourth quarter o f the previous year and prelim­
inary estimates for the first quarter o f the current year.
The revised annual estimates incorporate new and re­
vised source data, updated seasonal factors, and the
changes in definitions and in estimating procedures
that are part o f a continuing process to adapt the ITAs
to changing econom ic circumstances and to improve
the quality o f the estimates. The estimates are revised
back as far as is needed to incorporate all o f the various
types o f revisions; for example, as part o f the revision
3. For example, the revision (in percent change at annual rate) to the esti­
mate of seasonally adjusted exports of services for the first quarter of 2001
from the revised vintage to the latest estimate is -5 .9 9 percentage points,
reflecting revisions o f -4 .3 3 percentage points for the seasonally unadjusted
estimate and o f -1 .6 6 percentage points for the effects of the seasonal factor
as calculated here. An alternative calculation using the revision to the sea­
sonal adjustment factor times the value of the revised estimate indicates
that its direct effect is -1 .2 7 percentage points, and the interaction term
accounts for the rem aining-0 .3 9 percentage point.
4. The two sets of estimates are reconciled on an annual basis in NIPA
table 4.5 (this table is now table 4.3 in the 2003 comprehensive revision of
the NIPAs). Footnotes to that table provide additional descriptions of dif­
ferences in the two sets of accounts. The ITAs are also referred to as the
“balance-of-payments accounts.”

released in June 2002, some portions o f the ITAs for
1995-2001 were revised, and other portions were re­
vised for shorter periods; the exports and imports of
goods for 1995-2001 were revised, and the exports and
imports o f services for 1999-2001 were revised.
The data underlying the ITAs come from four major
sources: Census Bureau tabulations o f merchandise
trade flows, BEA surveys, Treasury Department tabula­
tions o f reports on international capital movements,
and reports by U.S. Government agencies to BEA.5 The
data are also obtained from a variety o f other public
and private sources. The Census Bureau tabulates data
from administrative documents that exporters and
importers are required to file with the U.S. Customs
Service; in addition, it provides data that are used as
quantity indicators by BEA to estimate freight and port
expenditures that are part o f “other” transportation
services. Data from BEA’s surveys are used to estimate
receipts and payments o f income on direct investment,
“other” services receipts and payments, and private
remittances and other transfers. The Treasury Depart­
ment tabulations are primarily used to estimate finan­
cial flows that are not part o f goods and services flows.
The reports from other U.S. Government agencies
engaged in international transactions are required
under Office o f Management and Budget Statistical
Policy Directive Number 19, and the data from these
reports are used to estimate foreign military sales and
direct defense expenditures, receipts and payments for
various services, and some other financial flows. The
variety o f other sources provide data that is primarily
related to “other” services, reconciliation items, and
the preparation o f real flows.

Seasonal adjustments
Most exports and imports o f goods and services in the
ITAs are seasonally adjusted. The exceptions for mea­
sures in this study are noted below.
BEA and the Census Bureau work together to sea­
sonally adjust the estimates o f exports and imports of
goods at the five-digit-end-use-commodity category
level, which is the most detailed level o f end-use classi­
fication available. BEA adjusts the estimates o f most
components services for seasonality at the most de­
tailed level available by type o f service; the exports and
imports o f royalties and license fees and the exports
and imports o f “other” services are adjusted at the ag­
gregate levels.
Two seasonal adjustment strategies are com monly
used by various government agencies. Regular seasonal
adjustments use seasonal factors that are based on sea-

45

sonal factors for prior years, and for adjusting the esti­
mates for the current year, the seasonal adjustments
use either the seasonal factors for the previous year or
an average o f the seasonal factors for the 2 previous
years. Concurrent seasonal adjustments are redone
each period (quarter or m onth), using all the estimates
up to and including the current period to calculate the
seasonal factor for the current period. Ultimately, the
seasonal factors for a given year use data for a number
o f years before and after the year for which the seasonal
factors are being estimated.
Seasonal patterns change gradually.6 Thus, rather
complex methods have been developed to deal with
these changes and other complicating factors. At
present, the most widely used seasonal adjustment
method is the X -12 ARIMA program developed at the
Census Bureau.7 This method uses a statistical analysis
to calculate how the seasonal pattern o f a time series
has changed recently and how it might be expected to
change further over the coming year. Thus, in contrast
to the revisions to seasonally unadjusted estimates,
which are revised in response to changes in the mea­
sures for each quarter, revisions to seasonal factors
result from changes in measures for quarters over a
number o f years.
BEA’s seasonal adjustment m ethodology typically
projects seasonal factors for the current year that are
based on data for prior years and using the X -12
ARIMA program. To adjust the estimates for the cur­
rent year, BEA estimates the seasonal factors each
spring, incorporating the m ost recent seasonally unad­
justed data for the period that extends to the end o f the
previous year.
Seasonal factors continue to be revised as additional
data become available. Ultimately, seasonal factors for
each year are calculated from seasonally unadjusted
data for a period that is centered on that year, and sea­
sonally unadjusted estimates for a number o f preced­
ing years and subsequent years are used to calculate the
seasonal factors; the number o f years depends on the
strategy followed by the agency doing the seasonal ad­
justment. In addition to the revisions to the seasonal
factors generated by this process, the seasonal factors
for the exports and imports at the levels examined in
this article may also change because o f changes in the
relative weights o f more detailed components if these
components have different seasonal patterns. Finally,
the seasonally adjusted estimates for each year are ad-

6. As seasonal factors change, their effects sum to 100 percent for each
year for which the estimates are being seasonally adjusted.
7. In addition to X -1 2 ARIMA, similar programs— such as X - l 1 and X 11 ARIMA— are sometimes used. They all are designed to take into account

justed to match the annual totals for the seasonally un­
adjusted estimates.

Estimates and their sources
The estimates used in this article are from two ITA ta­
bles: “Table 1. U.S. International Transactions” and
“Table 2. U.S. Trade in Goods.”8 In addition to the
measures examined in this study, these tables contain
more detailed estimates. The latest estimates are avail­
able on BEA’s Web site at <www.bea.gov>.
This article examines the revisions to the quarterly
estimates o f exports, and imports o f goods and services
for the period 1990-2000. The revisions to the esti­
mates o f exports and imports o f goods and their six
major com ponents are also examined for 1990-2000.
The revisions to exports and imports o f services and
their seven major components are examined for 19922000. The beginning years were chosen because the lat­
est estimates for earlier years have not been subject to
the same sets o f revisions as the estimates for later
years.9 However, the latest estimates for years in the
sample periods do not always incorporate the same
source data or methodologies. The ending year, 2000,
was chosen to balance the desirability o f large sample
sizes against the likelihood o f further revisions to the
seasonal factors.

Revisions to Seasonal Factors and to
Seasonally Adjusted and Seasonally
Unadjusted Estimates
The revisions evaluated in this study are the revisions
from the preliminary and revised current quarterly es­
timates to the latest estimates. In order to avoid the
distortions associated with the increasing size o f ex­
ports and imports over time, the estimates are ex­
pressed in percent changes at annual rates, and the
revisions are measured in percentage points. The use
o f annual rates means that the estimates are about four
times larger than the changes at quarterly rates.
The examination o f the revisions uses two summary
statistics— mean revision and mean absolute revision.
In addition, mean absolute changes for the latest sea­
sonally adjusted estimates are shown in order to allow
the reader to compare the summary statistics with
these average changes. The mean revision is the aver­
age o f the revisions:

MR = E (L ~ E)
n
where E is the percentage change in the earlier quar­
terly estimate, L is the percentage change in the later

estimate— typically the latest estimate— and n is the
number o f quarters in the sample period for which the
summary statistic is calculated.
Because revisions can be positive or negative and
thus may offset each other, it is useful to also look at
the mean absolute revision (that is, the mean revision
without regard to sign). The mean absolute revision is
the average of the absolute values of the revisions:

Exports and imports of goods and services
Mean revisions and mean absolute revisions for ex­
ports and imports o f both goods and services for
1990-2000 are shown in table 1. In addition, in the last
column o f the table, mean absolute changes in the lat­
est estimates o f the seasonally adjusted flows are shown
so that the sizes o f the average revisions can be com ­
pared with the sizes o f the average changes. The mean
revisions for all three types o f estimates— seasonally
adjusted, seasonally unadjusted, and (the effects of)
seasonal factors for both vintages— are small in com ­
parison with the mean absolute changes in the latest
seasonally adjusted estimates. All the mean revisions
for the seasonally unadjusted estimates o f both exports
and imports are positive, but all the mean revisions
due to seasonal factors are negative. Thus, the two
types o f revisions tend to offset each other. The net ef­
fect o f the revisions to the two types o f estimates is that
the mean revisions for the seasonally adjusted esti­
mates are positive for exports and negative for im ­
ports. (The mean revisions for the seasonally
unadjusted estimates and those for the seasonal factors
are additive in deriving mean revisions to the season­
ally adjusted estimates.)
The mean absolute revisions for the seasonally
adjusted estimates o f both exports and imports are
larger than the mean absolute revisions for either the

seasonally unadjusted estimates or the seasonal factors.
The mean absolute revisions for the seasonal factors
are larger than those for the seasonally unadjusted esti­
mates. Thus, the revisions to the seasonally unadjusted
estimates augment the revisions to seasonal factors in
determining the revisions to the seasonally adjusted
estimates.10
The mean absolute revisions for the revised season­
ally adjusted estimates o f exports and imports are both
about 0.2 percentage point smaller than those for the
preliminary estimates; this result suggests that the re­
vised estimates are more accurate. In addition, the
mean absolute revisions for both the revised seasonally
unadjusted estimates and the revised seasonal factors
are also smaller than the preliminary estimates.

Exports and imports of goods
The mean revisions and mean absolute revisions for
exports and imports o f goods for 1990-2000 are
shown in table 2. The results are broadly similar to
those shown in table 1. The mean revisions are small in
comparison with the mean absolute changes; the mean
absolute revisions for seasonally adjusted estimates are
larger than those for either the seasonally unadjusted
estimates or the seasonal factors, and the mean abso­
lute revisions for the revised estimates are smaller than
those for the preliminary estimates. However, the
mean revisions for the seasonal factors are nearly as
large as the mean revisions for the seasonally adjusted
estimates o f exports o f goods and larger than the mean
revisions for the seasonally adjusted estimates o f im ­
ports o f goods. Similarly, the mean absolute revisions
for the seasonal factors are about four times as large as
those for the seasonally unadjusted estimates. Thus,
10.
In contrast, Fixler and Grimm (2002, 19) found that the revisions to
seasonal factors were found to offset the effects of the revisions to seasonally
unadjusted estimates of GDP and most of its major components, and the
mean absolute revisions to the seasonally adjusted estimates were smaller
than those to either the seasonally unadjusted estimates or the seasonal fac­
tors for all GDP components except imports.

the revisions to seasonal factors contribute heavily to
revisions to the seasonally adjusted estimates.
The revisions for exports o f goods disaggregated
into five components and a residual “not elsewhere
classified” are shown in table 3.11 The mean revisions
are generally small and negative and are primarily due
to the revisions to the seasonal factors. An exception is
a positive mean revision for the revised estimates of
exports o f automotive vehicles, engines, and parts; for
these estimates, a positive mean revision for the sea­
sonally unadjusted estimates more than offsets the
negative mean revision for seasonal factors. Like the
revisions to total exports o f goods, the mean absolute
revisions for the seasonally adjusted estimates o f the
exports o f the five components are larger than those
for either the seasonally unadjusted estimates or the
seasonal factors, which augment each other. The mean
absolute revisions for the seasonal factors are also
much larger than those for the seasonally unadjusted
estimates.
The revisions for imports o f goods disaggregated
into the same five components as for exports are
shown in table 4. The mean revisions— which again
are small— are negative for most o f the seasonally ad­
justed estimates and for all o f the seasonal factors, and
11. The “not elsewhere classified” grouping is a catchall that is small, and
its components have changed over time. As a result, it is not included in the
discussion of either exports or imports of goods.

Effects of Revisions to S easonal Factors

they are positive for most o f the seasonally unadjusted
estimates. The mean absolute revisions for the season­
ally adjusted estimates are larger than those for all of
the seasonally unadjusted estimates and larger than
those for the seasonal factors for three o f the five com ­
ponents. The mean absolute revisions for the seasonal
factors are substantially larger than those for the sea­
sonally unadjusted estimates for four components, but
for industrial supplies and materials, the revisions for
the seasonal factors are about the same size as those for
the unadjusted estimates.
For both the exports and imports o f goods, the
mean absolute revisions for the revised estimates o f all
the components and for all three types o f estimates are
smaller than the revisions for the preliminary esti­
mates. This result suggests that the revised estimates
are more accurate. In addition, the finding that the
mean absolute revisions for the seasonal factors are
considerably larger than those for the seasonally unad­
justed estimates— and typically nearly as large as those
for the seasonally adjusted estimates— indicates that
the incorporation o f additional years o f data in deter­
m ining the seasonal factors plays a major role in the re­
visions to the seasonally adjusted estimates.

Exports and imports of services
The revisions for exports and imports o f services for
1992-2000 are shown in table 5. The mean revisions
for the seasonally adjusted estimates are positive, but

small relative to the mean absolute changes; however
they are larger than those for the exports and imports
o f goods (table 2). These positive mean revisions are
primarily due to upward revisions to the seasonally
unadjusted estimates.
The mean absolute revisions for the seasonally ad­
justed estimates are smaller than those for the season­
ally unadjusted estimates but are larger than those for
the seasonal factors. Thus, in contrast to the seasonally
adjusted estimates exports and imports o f goods, the
revisions for the seasonal factors partly offset those for
the unadjusted estimates. The mean absolute revisions
for the seasonally adjusted estimates o f the exports of
services are roughly the same size as those for exports
o f goods, but those for the imports o f services are
about twice the size o f those for the imports o f goods.
The mean absolute revisions for seasonally unadjusted
estimates o f exports and imports o f services are both
much larger than those o f exports and imports o f
goods.
The revisions to exports o f services disaggregated
into seven components are shown in table 6. Two o f
the components— transfers under U.S. military agency
sales contracts and miscellaneous U.S. Government
services— are judged to not have seasonal patterns and
are not seasonally adjusted. Both the mean revisions
and the mean absolute revisions for these components
are large in comparison with those for all exports o f
services, but the components are quite small relative to
all the exports o f services and are not further dis­
cussed.
The mean revisions for most estimates o f the other
five components are small relative to the mean abso­
lute changes. The mean revision for the preliminary
estimates o f royalties and license fees, however, is more
than half the size o f the mean absolute change. The
mean absolute revisions for the seasonally adjusted es­
timates are nearly as large as the mean absolute
changes, and the mean absolute revision for the pre­
liminary estimates for passenger fares is slightly larger.

For m ost o f the components, the mean absolute revi­
sions for the seasonally adjusted estimates are smaller
than those for the seasonally unadjusted estimates and
larger than those for the seasonal factors; thus, the re­
visions to the seasonal factors partly offset the revi­
sions to the seasonally unadjusted estimates. However,
the two vintages o f estimates o f royalties and license
fees have mean absolute revisions for the seasonally
adjusted estimates that are slightly larger than those for
the other two types.
The revisions for imports o f services disaggregated
into seven components are shown in table 7. Like ex­
ports o f services, two components— direct defense ex­
penditures and miscellaneous U.S. Government
services— are not seasonally adjusted. The mean revi­
sions for the two components are similar in size to
those for all the imports o f services, but the mean ab­
solute revisions are considerably larger. These com po­
nents are small relative to all the imports o f services,
and they are not further discussed. The mean revisions
for the other five components are small relative to the
corresponding mean absolute changes.
A closer examination o f two components— travel
and passenger fares— illustrates one o f the complex
ways that the revisions to seasonally unadjusted esti­
mates interact with the revisions to seasonal factors.
The mean revisions for seasonally unadjusted esti­
mates o f travel have large negative values, while the
mean revisions for the seasonal factors for travel have
large positive revisions, illustrating an offsetting rela-

tionship. Yet, while the seasonally unadjusted passen­
ger fares have large positive values, it is only the mean
revision for the seasonal factors for the preliminary es­
timates o f passenger fares that has an opposite sign.
The mean revision for the revised estimates o f the sea­
sonal factors for passenger fares is positive, and it adds
to the positive mean revision for the seasonally unad­
justed estimates.
The mean absolute revisions for the seasonally ad­
justed estimates o f four components are roughly as
large as the mean absolute changes. For m ost com po­
nents, the mean absolute revisions for the seasonally
adjusted estimates are smaller than those for the sea­
sonally unadjusted estimates and larger than those for
the seasonal factors; like the exports o f services, the re­
visions to the seasonal factors party offset the revisions
to the seasonally unadjusted estimates. However, the
mean absolute revisions for the seasonally adjusted es­
timates for the two vintages o f estimates o f “other
transportation” and for the revised estimates o f royal­
ties and license fees are slightly larger than those for
the unadjusted estimates.
As with goods, the mean absolute revisions for the
revised estimates o f both exports and imports o f ser­
vices and their components are all smaller than those
for the preliminary estimates. This result also may be
interpreted as the increase in accuracy. In addition, the
mean absolute revisions for the seasonally unadjusted
services components are all larger than those for the
seasonal factors, in contrast to those for the goods
components.

Effects of Revisions to Seasonal Factors

50

The meaning of the sizes of revisions
Each year, BEA revises its estimates to incorporate sta­
tistical and methodological changes and changes in
definitions and classifications. BEA implements these
improvements as part o f a continuing effort to address
gaps in coverage, to refine estimation techniques, and
to conform more closely with international classifica­
tion guidelines.12
The effect o f improvements increases the sizes o f re­
visions. As explained by Young (1996),
An improvement in the current estimates results in a
permanent decrease in revision size. Improvement in
both the current and latest available estimates results in
little change. Improvement that is introduced...into the
(then) latest available estimates as is often the case, re­
sults in an increase in revision size for a period of years
until the improvement is also reflected in the current es­
timates.

Thus, the ongoing process o f introducing improve­
ments into the estimates o f exports and imports o f ser­
vices is likely to be a major source o f revision to the
seasonally unadjusted estimates. As a result, the rela­
tively large mean absolute revisions for services reflect
the improvements to the estimates. An example o f the
effects o f improvements in the services flows may be
seen by comparing the mean revisions for the season­
ally unadjusted estimates o f exports o f services in table
5 with the mean revisions for the seasonally unad­
justed estimates o f exports o f goods in table 2; the
mean revisions for services are much larger (and o f the
opposite sign) than the mean revisions for goods.

Conclusions
In general, the effects o f the revisions to seasonal fac­
tors on mean absolute revisions for the seasonally ad­
justed estimates o f exports and imports generally do
not simply add to the effects o f the revisions to the sea­
sonally unadjusted estimates. The revisions to the sea­
sonally unadjusted estimates result from revisions to
the estimates for a quarter, whereas revisions to the
seasonal factors result from revisions to the seasonally
unadjusted estimates for many quarters that are spread
over a number o f years. Revisions, however, may also
result from improvements to the estimating process.
As a result, large revisions do not necessarily indicate
poor reliability, and small revisions do not necessarily
indicate good reliability.
12. The improvements are described in an article about revisions to the
international transactions accounts that is published each July in the S u rv e y
o f C u r r e n t Business. For a summary of the many improvements to BEA’s
data on international services, see W hichard and Borga (2002, 5 4 -5 6 ).




December 2003

The mean absolute revisions for seasonally adjusted
estimates o f the exports and imports o f all goods and
services and o f goods alone are larger than those for ei­
ther the seasonally unadjusted estimates or the sea­
sonal factors. The mean absolute revisions for the
seasonal factors are typically larger than those for the
seasonally unadjusted estimates and are nearly as large
as those for the seasonally adjusted estimates. A review
o f the revisions to the com ponents o f exports and im ­
ports o f goods reinforces this finding. The revisions to
seasonal factors are the principal determinants o f the
revisions to the seasonally adjusted estimates and are
about half as large as those to the seasonally adjusted
estimates o f exports and two-thirds as large as those to
imports.
The mean absolute revisions for seasonally adjusted
estimates o f both exports and imports o f services are
generally larger than those for seasonal factors but are
smaller than those for seasonally unadjusted estimates.
The effects o f the revisions to seasonal factors are
nearly as large as the revisions to seasonally adjusted
estimates o f exports and imports o f goods and services.
The mean revisions o f the two types o f revisions are o f
the opposite sign, and the revisions tend to offset one
another.
Revisions to seasonal factors thus play a mixed role.
They play a major role in revisions to exports and im ­
ports o f goods, and they augment the effects o f revi­
sions to the seasonally unadjusted estimates. The
revisions play a somewhat smaller role in revisions to
exports and imports o f services, and they tend to offset
the effects o f revisions to the seasonally unadjusted es­
timates.

HE estimates o f state personal income and its
components measure and track the levels and the
types o f incomes that are received by the people who
live and work in each state. The estimates provide a
framework for the analysis o f each state’s economy,
and the reliability o f the estimates is critical to the
quality o f such analyses and to their usefulness as bases
for decisionmaking.
“Reliability” refers to the magnitudes o f the revi­
sions to the estimates or to the changes from the first
estimates to the latest estimates, so reliability is defined
as the ability o f the successive vintages o f the estimates
o f state personal income to present a consistent picture
o f a state’s economy; reliable estimates consistently
show the direction and the change in a state’s eco­
nom ic growth.1 The most recent estimates that have
been revised to incorporate the increasingly compre­
hensive and improved data are used as the standards
for reliability because they are presumed to be the best
estimates.
The preliminary estimates o f personal income for
states
• Successfully indicated the direction o f change in
state personal income 95 percent o f the time,
• Successfully indicated whether state personal in­
come was accelerating or decelerating 77 percent o f
the time, and
• Successfully indicated whether state personal in­
come growth was near its trend rate 86 percent of
the time.
The estimates are revised largely in order to incorpo1.
This definition differs from that used in statistics to analyze survey
results and quality control. Reliability also differs from accuracy, which
refers to total measurement error and is never observed in the state personal
income estimates. In particular, the latest estimates contain errors that
result from causes, such as data gaps and nonsampling errors, that are not
quantifiable.
For a previous study of the revisions for 19 8 0 -8 7 , see Robert L. Brown
and James R Stehle, “Evaluation of the State Personal Income Estimates,”
S u rv e y o f C u r r e n t Business 70 (December 1990): 2 0 -2 9 .

rate new or more complete source data, to reflect
changes to conceptual definitions and classifications
that adapt the econom ic accounts to a changing econ­
omy, to use the improvements in statistical techniques,
and to update the seasonal factors that are used to sea­
sonally adjust the estimates, not in order to correct er­
rors in the preliminary estimates.2 Seasonal factors are
revised largely to incorporate additional years o f data
that were not available— or forecastable— when the
earlier estimates were prepared.3 Thus, most revisions
are primarily due to improvements that were im possi­
ble to make when the earlier estimates were prepared.
This study provides information that will be useful
for readers to determine the suitability o f the estimates
released at different stages o f the estimating process.
The successive releases o f revised estimates are referred
to as “vintages.” The first, or preliminary, quarterly es­
timates o f state personal income, the second quarterly
estimates, and the first, or preliminary, annual esti­
mates are featured. The estimates that are used as the
standard-of-accuracy estimates are the latest estimates
that were released in April 2003.
In this article, the quarterly estimates for the second
quarter o f 1991 through the fourth quarter o f 2001 are
analyzed. This period covers one complete business cy­
cle: The second quarter o f 1991 is the first quarter o f
positive growth in real GDP after a cyclical trough, and
the fourth quarter o f 2001 is the first quarter o f posi­
tive growth in real GDP after a cyclical downturn that
started in the first quarter o f 2001. The annual esti­
mates for 1991-2001 are analyzed, and because this pe­
riod ends in 2001, all o f the revisions include at least
two annual-vintage revisions.
This study presents an overview o f the source data
and the methods that are used to prepare the estimates
o f state personal income. It then examines the princi­

additional measures o f revisions— including measures
o f the revisions to the preliminary annual estimates. In
conclusion, this study outlines some recent develop­
ments that affect the revisions to the estimates.

Overview of the Sources and Methods
The quarterly and annual estimates o f state personal
income are revised to incorporate source data that are
more complete, more detailed, or otherwise more ap­
propriate than the data that were previously available.
These source data are incorporated at specific stages in
the estimating process, and successive estimates are re­
leased according to a schedule.
The quarterly state estimates are tied to the annual
state estimates, which incorporate more detailed and
more reliable source data than the quarterly estimates.
The quarterly estimates o f all the components o f state
personal income are based on the growth rates o f quar­
terly state source data that are controlled to the annual
state estimates o f the components. In addition, the
quarterly state estimates are controlled to personal in­
come in the national income and product accounts
(NIPAs).4

Revision schedule for the state estimates
The preliminary quarterly estimates o f state personal
income are released 4 months after the close o f the
quarter. The second quarterly estimates are released 3
months later. In October and again in the following
April, the quarterly estimates for the preceding 3 years
are revised to reflect revisions to the annual estimates.
The preliminary annual estimates o f state personal
income for the previous year, which are based on the
current quarterly estimates, are released in April, 4
months after the end o f the year. Revised annual esti­
mates, which are developed independently and are
prepared in greater com ponent detail than the quar­
terly estimates, are released in September. For several
succeeding years, the annual estimates are revised
again in April and in September when additional data
become available.

Sources of the revisions
Personal income is the income that is received by per­
sons from participation in production. It is calculated
4. The state quarterly estimates of wages and salaries are controlled to—
that is, they are made to add to— the NIPA estimates of wages and salaries
after adjusting for coverage differences, such as the exclusion of wages and
salaries of U.S. citizens stationed abroad. See the box “Personal Income in
the NIPAs and State Personal Income” in “State Personal Income: Revised
Estimates for 1999-2001,” S u rv e y (October 2002).
In addition, the detailed methodology that is used to prepare the annual
and quarterly state personal income estimates is available on BEA’s Web site
at <www.bea.gov> and in State Personal Income 1929-97.

as the sum o f wage and salary disbursements, other la­
bor income, proprietors’ income with inventory valua­
tion and capital consumption adjustments, rental
income o f persons with capital consumption adjust­
ment, personal dividend income, personal interest in­
come, and transfer payments to persons, less personal
contributions for social insurance. A summary o f the
major sources o f state data for the preliminary quar­
terly estimates, the second quarterly estimates, and the
detailed annual state estimates o f personal income are
presented in table 1. The sources and methods used to
produce wage and salary disbursements, farm propri­
etors’ income, the components that are based on wage
and salary estimates, and the components that are
based on trends are discussed, and the sources o f the
revisions are described.
Wage and salary disbursem ents. The preliminary
national and state estimates are based on a sample o f
employment and, where available, on average weekly
earnings from the Current Employment Statistics
(CES) program o f the Bureau o f Labor Statistics
(BLS).5 The information from this survey is subject to
sampling errors. In addition, the state source data only
has earnings information for manufacturing. The na­
tional data includes earnings information for all pri­
vate industries, but the national and state data are only
for production and nonsupervisory workers, and the
earnings do not include lum p-sum payments, such as
exercised stock options or bonus payments. These gaps
in the coverage o f the earnings data have becom e more
significant as the number o f production workers rela­
tive to nonproduction workers has declined and as
wage payments based on profit-sharing programs have
become more com m on in all industries, including
manufacturing.6 The preliminary quarterly estimates
o f wages and salaries are subject to more revision than
the second estimates because o f the use o f less compre­
hensive source data.
The second state estimates o f most o f wages and sal­
aries are based on tabulations o f wages and salaries
from the Covered Employment and Wage (CEW) pro­
gram o f the BLS that account for 95 percent o f total
5. The CES survey collects monthly data on employment, on average
weekly hours, and on average hourly earnings on Form BLS 790; this sur­
vey, which is collected for the pay periods that include the 12th of the
month, is conducted in cooperation with the state employment security
agencies. The monthly data are from a sample of more than 390,000 nonag­
ricultural establishments and are benchmarked annually to the Covered
Employment and Wage employment data.
Information from a variety of other sources— for example, the Depart­
ment of Agriculture for farm workers and the Department of Defense for
military personnel— is also used. These sources account for about 5 percent
of wages and salaries.
6. Nationally, the employment and earnings of production workers from
the CES survey account for approximately 55 percent of the NIPA private
wage and salary estimate.

ulations from state employment security agencies of employers’ reports of
their unemployment insurance (U I) contributions that are required from
all employers covered by state UI laws and by the unemployment com pen­
sation program for Federal employees. The reported wages and salaries,
which are released 5 months after the end of the quarter, include lump-sum
payments, but they are not separately identifiable.

revisions because of updates to the quarterly data, the
revisions to seasonal factors, the incorporation o f ad­

nual state control totals, and the changes to the
classifications o f wages and salaries or the statistical
methods used to produce the estimates. For example,

1. The data used for the extrapolation of the second quarterly estimates are also used to interpolate the
revised annual estimates to quarters in the preparation of the revised quarterly estimates
2. The quarterly estimates of wages and salaries, other labor income, and proprietors’ income are prepared
at the sector level of the North American Industrial Classification System and the annual state estimates are
prepared at the subsector level.
3. The trend extrapolation is based on the relationship between the annual state estimates and the annual
NIPA estimates.
4. The CES is a monthly survey conducted by the state employment security agencies; the CES program is
coordinated by BLS, and the data are published in Employment and Earnings.
5. County Business Patterns is published annually by the Census Bureau. This series was not used for the




annual state estimates of proprietors' income released in May 2000, because more current data were available
from the IRS.
6. The use of the estimates of wages and salaries in the estimation of quarterly and annual other labor
income and personal contributions for social insurance by employees incorporates the state relative changes
and distributions of the source data used for wages and salaries into the estimates for the other components,
for which more direct source data are unavailable.
7. For the quarterly estimates of proprietors' income in the construction industry, the quarterly relative
changes in the estimates of wages and salaries are used instead of the annual trends in proprietors’ income
because the annual trend does not capture well the rapid and irregular fluctuations in the activity of this
industry.
8. The residence adjustment is not a component of personal income.

December 2003

S u rv ey of C u rren t B usiness

until July 2002, the second quarterly state estimates
were controlled to the same NIPA estimates o f wages
and salaries as the preliminary quarterly estimates, and
the second quarterly state estimates were based on data
that were more complete than the data for the pub­
lished national control total; as a result, the second
quarterly state estimates were subject to further revi­
sion when the national total incorporated the CEW
data.8
As noted above, the second estimates o f wages and
salaries are also subject to revision due to revisions to
the seasonal factors produced by BEA. The quarterly
CEW wage and salary data are adjusted to remove sea­
sonal patterns by using the Census X - l 1 ARIMA sea­
sonal adjustment program. The seasonal patterns are
usually stable, but they sometimes change rapidly, and
these changes lead to substantial revisions to the sea­
sonal factors when they are updated to reflect the data
for the latest year. In addition, large revisions to the
seasonal factors have resulted from lum p-sum pay­
ments, such as exercised stock options that are in­
cluded in wages and salaries, because o f the
unpredictable timing o f the exercise o f the options.
Farm proprietors’ incom e. The largest sources of
revisions to the estimates o f farm proprietors’ income
are due to the lack o f quarterly data for farm produc­
tion expenses and for the change in inventories and to
the change in the statistical method used to prepare
quarterly estimates o f government subsidy payments
to farmers.
The quarterly state estimates o f farm proprietors’
income are prepared in two parts: Government subsidy
payments to farmers and farm proprietors’ income ex­
cluding subsidies.
The annual state estimates o f all components o f
farm proprietors’ income are based on source data
from the U.S. Department o f Agriculture (USDA). The
quarterly state estimates for government subsidy pay­
ments to farmers are based on annual trends. The
quarterly estimates o f farm proprietors’ income ex­
cluding subsidies are based on the growth rates o f
USDA data on cash receipts from the sale o f farm
products that are controlled to quarterly national and
annual state control totals.
Farm proprietors’ income excluding government
subsidies is a highly volatile estimate. Quarterly state
data are available for income, but no quarterly data are
available for production expenses and for the change
in inventories. The annual estimates are affected by the
8. In July 2002, the estimating procedure for the NIPA quarterly estimates
of private wages and salaries was changed to incorporate the quarterly CEW
wage data 6 months after the close of the reference quarter. For a discussion
of this change and its effect on the revisions to the estimates of wages and
salaries, see the section on recent developments.

very large swings in the value o f change in inventories
due to the impact o f highly volatile natural and eco­
nom ic conditions on levels o f crop production at the
state level.
In addition, before the comprehensive NIPA revi­
sion that was released in October 1999, the statistical
m ethod for producing quarterly national and state es­
timates o f government subsidies to farmers was based
on USDA administrative data on subsidy payments to
farmers. Therefore, the preliminary and second quar­
terly state estimates that were produced before June
2000, when the comprehensive state revision was re­
leased, do not follow the current method o f basing the
quarters on the trends o f the annual estimates. The
preliminary and second quarterly state estimates for
farm subsidies for the quarters up through the second
quarter o f 1999 will have large revisions to the latest es­
timates, which are produced by a different m ethodol­
ogyCom ponents based on wages and salaries. The es­
timates o f wages and salaries are used to produce the
quarterly estimates o f other labor income, construc­
tion proprietors’ income, personal contributions for
social insurance, and the residence adjustment. Be­
cause these quarterly estimates are based on wages and
salaries, the revisions to the estimates reflect the revi­
sions to the quarterly estimates o f wages and salaries
and to the incorporation o f annual source data.
The annual estimates for these components are
based on annual source data from a variety o f agencies.
For the preliminary quarterly estimates, the second
quarterly estimates, and the subsequently revised quar­
terly estimates, the state estimates o f wages and salaries
are used as the indicators for the residence adjustment
and for the three components that are closely related to
wages and salaries. For personal contributions, total
wages and salaries are used as the quarterly indicator;
for construction proprietors’ income, construction
wages and salaries are used; for the residence adjust­
ment and for other labor income, wages and salaries by
industry are used.
Com ponents based on annual trends. Quarterly
state data that can be used as indicators for the follow­
ing com ponents o f personal income are unavailable:
Dividends, interest, and rent; transfer payments ex­
cluding unemployment insurance benefits; farm
wages; pay of military reserves; and nonfarm propri­
etors’ income excluding construction proprietors’ in­
come. These components account for about 39 percent
o f personal income for the Nation. The annual esti­
mates are based on annual source data from a variety
o f agencies. The quarterly state estimates are based on
the changes in the trend in the state shares o f the na­
tional total; the trend is determined from annual state

T h e Reliability of the S tate Personal Incom e Estim ates

56

and national estimates. These estimates are mostly
subject to revision from the incorporation o f annual
national and state source data.
Dividends, interest, and rent account for about 19
percent o f national personal income; about two-thirds
o f this com ponent is interest payments. Because the
largest capital markets are national, fluctuations in the
rates o f return generally are determined more by na­
tional econom ic conditions than by local econom ic
conditions. Moreover, residents o f a state may not in­
vest their savings locally. Thus, the state shares o f na­
tional dividends, interest, and rent are unlikely to
change sharply from quarter to quarter in response to
local econom ic conditions.9
Transfer payments excluding unemployment insur­
ance benefits account for about 13 percent o f national
personal income. More than 50 percent o f these trans­
fers are social security benefits, other Federal retire­
ment-related transfers, and Medicare payments, and
the state shares do not vary much from quarter to
quarter. Public assistance payments (for example, sup­
plemental security income, temporary assistance for
needy families, Medicaid, and food stamps) are more
sensitive to local econom ic conditions, so the extrapo­
lations o f the quarterly estimates o f these payments are
subject to greater errors than the extrapolations o f re­
tirement-related transfer payments.
Farm wages account for 0.2 percent o f national per­
sonal income, pay o f military reserves accounts for 0.1
percent, and nonfarm proprietors’ income excluding
construction accounts for about 7 percent. Almost half
o f nonfarm proprietors’ income consists o f profes­
sional and other services, which are likely to have rea­
sonably stable trends in the state shares o f national
nonfarm proprietors’ income; however, proprietors are
also important in a number o f industries— such as
mining, forestry and fisheries, and real estate— that
can be quite volatile and that can vary substantially
from state to state.

Measures of Revisions
Some straightforward measures o f reliability can be
developed by enumerating how frequently the revi­
sions o f state personal income estimates meet various
criteria. Table 2 presents counts o f how often the pre­
liminary and second quarterly estimates o f personal
income for the Nation, for the various regions, and for
the states meet reliability criteria. (For ease o f exposi­
tion, the District o f Columbia is treated as if it were a
state.)

December 2003

From the second quarter o f 1991 through the fourth
quarter o f 2001, the preliminary estimates o f state per­
sonal income correctly indicated the direction o f
change 98 percent o f the time for the Nation, from 93
to 100 percent o f the time for the regions, and from 70
to 98 percent o f the time for the states. The median
share o f correct indications for the states is 95 per­
cent.10 The second quarterly income estimates are
about as reliable in indicating the direction o f change.
The median share for the states is 93 percent.
The two vintages o f quarterly estimates correctly in ­
dicated the acceleration or deceleration o f personal in ­
come from the previous quarter somewhat more than
three-fourths o f the time. The preliminary estimates
correctly indicated the acceleration or deceleration a
median share o f 77 percent o f the time, and the second
estimates did so 81 percent o f the time. For the two
vintages, the shares o f correct indications for the vari­
ous states range from 67 to 93 percent.
The quarterly estimates correctly indicated whether
state personal incomes were increasing at rates near the
national trend rate o f 1.3 percent per quarter in the pe­
riod (near-trend is defined as being within one stan­
dard deviation, or 0.83 percentage point, o f this trend
rate).11 As measured by median shares, the preliminary
quarterly estimates correctly indicated increases near
the trend 76 percent o f the time, and the second quar­
terly estimates did so 82 percent o f the time. The shares
o f correct indications for the various states ranged
from 56 to 96 percent o f the time.
The principal measures o f reliability featured in this
article include mean revisions and mean absolute revi­
sions. The mean revision is calculated as the average o f
the revisions:

MR = Z(L - E ) / n y
where E is the percent change in the earlier quarterly
(or annual) estimate, L is the percentage change in the
later estimate— usually the latest estimate— and n is
the number o f observations in the sample period over
which the mean is calculated. Percent changes in quar­
terly estimates are at quarterly rates, corresponding to
the convention generally used for the published esti­
mates.
Because revisions can be positive or negative and

10. The median share is emphasized because of the difficulty of com par­
ing the results for all the states, whose economies are different in size and
whose volatility varies considerably. The use of medians also reduces the
risk that outliers— particularly low outliers— would distort summaries that
cover the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
11. Not all of the preliminary and second quarterly estimates were within
one standard deviation from the national trend. Out of 43 quarters, the

However, quarterly state estimates of rent can be greatly affected by number in the range for individual states varies from 8 to 41, with medians

thus may be offsetting, it is useful to look at the mean
absolute revisions (that is, the mean revisions without
regard to sign). The mean absolute revision is the aver­
age o f the absolute values o f the revisions:

MAR = Z \L -E \/n .
The mean absolute revisions for quarterly personal
income, nonfarm personal income, and wages and sal­
aries for the Nation, for the regions, and for the states
are presented in table 3. The revisions are from the
preliminary quarterly estimates to the latest estimates
and from the second quarterly estimates to the latest
estimates.

The mean absolute revision for the preliminary esti­
mates o f personal income for the United States is
smaller than the mean absolute revisions for any state
or region because the revisions among the states (and
regions) tend to be offsetting. Similarly, the mean ab­
solute revisions for the regions are generally smaller
than the mean absolute revisions for the states in the
regions; only nine states have smaller mean absolute
revisions than mean absolute revisions for their re­
gions. The unweighted average o f the mean absolute
revisions for the preliminary state estimates is 0.71
percentage point.

T h e Reliability of the S tate Personal Incom e Estim ates

estimates o f state personal income are less than 1 per­
centage point for all but six states in which farm in­
come is important— Iowa, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska,
North Dakota, and South Dakota; removing farm in­
come yields mean absolute revisions that are substan­
tially less than 1 percentage point for these states.
Removing farm income also substantially lowers the
mean absolute revision for Kansas, but it has little ef­
fect on the mean absolute revisions for the other states.
As noted earlier, the measurement o f quarterly farm
income is especially problematic due to a lack o f cur­
rent, detailed source data on farm expenses and due to
the volatility o f the change in farm inventories. The

farm sector relies heavily on the manipulation o f com ­
modity inventories to mitigate the effects o f wide
swings in prices and production that occur with little
discernable pattern or predictability. Therefore, the in ­
corporation o f state data on the value o f inventory
change in the detailed annual estimates often results in
substantial revisions to personal income in states with
relatively large agricultural economies.
The mean absolute revisions for the second esti­
mates o f personal income are slightly smaller than the
mean absolute revisions for the preliminary estimates
for the Nation, for 6 o f the 8 regions, and for 31 states.
An unweighted average o f the reductions for the states
is 0.04 percentage point, and the differences range
from a reduction o f 0.40 percentage point to an in ­
crease o f 0.28 percentage point.
The mean absolute revisions for both the prelimi­
nary estimates and the second estimates o f wages and
salaries are larger than those for the estimates o f non­
farm personal income for all states and o f personal in­
come for most states. The unweighted average o f the
mean absolute revisions for the state estimates o f
wages and salaries is 0.85 percentage point for the pre­
liminary estimates and 0.73 percentage point for the
second estimates. The mean absolute revisions for the
second estimates are smaller than those for the prelim­
inary estimates for 6 regions and 39 states.
The mean revisions from the preliminary estimates
to the latest estimates and the second estimates to the
latest estimates of personal income, nonfarm personal
income, and wages and salaries are shown in table 4.
The mean revisions for the Nation and for the regions
are small and generally positive. The positive revisions
are consistent with the comprehensive revisions o f na­
tional measures o f econom ic activity, which have
tended to raise both the levels and the rates o f growth
o f income, because definitions were changed to adapt
the econom ic accounts to a changing economy. The
signs for the mean revisions for the states are more
mixed; the revisions from the preliminary estimates to
the latest estimates o f personal income are negative for
18 states, and the revisions from the second estimates
to the latest estimates are negative for 24 states. In gen­
eral, the revisions for the second estimates are smaller
than those for the preliminary estimates. The largest
mean revisions were to the preliminary estimates for
m ost of the New England states, Arizona, and Colo­
rado; these revisions reflect large positive revisions to
wages and salaries.
When the assumption o f a normal distribution for
the revisions cannot be rejected statistically, the statis­
tical significance o f the mean revisions can be tested.
Using this criterion, the statistical significance o f
the mean revisions for the preliminary estimates o f

personal income for 32 states can be tested. The mean
revisions are significant at a P-value o f less than .05 for
three states— Arizona, Colorado, and Mississippi—
about double what would be expected by chance. Simi­
larly, the statistical significance o f the mean revisions
for the preliminary estimates o f nonfarm income for
27 states can be tested, and the revisions are significant
for three states— Colorado, Vermont, and Wyoming.
The mean revisions for wages and salaries for 33 states
can be tested, and the revisions are significant for three
states— Arizona, Colorado, and Alaska.
For these three state measures, the hypothesis that
the mean revisions were zero is rejected somewhat less
than twice as often as would be expected by chance.

Excluding the rejections for Colorado, the number o f
rejections is about what would be expected by chance.
About three-fifths o f the mean revisions for the second
estimates o f the three income measures were also
tested, and none o f the mean revisions are statistically
significantly different from zero.
The mean revisions and the mean absolute revi­
sions from the preliminary estimates to the second es­
timates for the three income measures are shown in
table 5. The mean absolute revisions for the states and
regions are typically nearly as large as those from these
vintages o f quarterly estimates to the latest estimates.

revisions between the preliminary and second esti­
mates o f personal income for the states is 0.54 percent­
age point, or roughly 0.15 percentage point smaller
than those from the two vintages o f estimates to the
latest estimates.
The mean revisions are generally positive and are as
large as those from the preliminary estimates to the lat­
est estimates for the states. The largest revisions are for
the New England states, Arizona, Colorado, and
Alaska. The large revisions may be attributed to the re­
placement o f the CES state employment data with the
CEW tabulations o f wages and salaries.

Range of revisions
The mean range o f nine-tenths o f the revisions to the
state estimates from the preliminary estimates to the
latest estimates is 2.9 percentage points, and it extends
from -1 .4 percentage points to 1.5 percentage points
(chart 1). O f the seven states in which the spread be­
tween the lower bound and the upper bound is more
than 3.5 percentage points, four states are in the Plains
region, two are in the Rocky Mountain region, and one
is in the Far West. Removing farm income lowers the

mean range to 2.3 percentage points, from -1.1 per­
centage points to 1.2 percentage points, and no states
register a range as large as 3.5 percentage points (chart
2 ).

The ranges of revisions to wages and salaries are
generally larger than the ranges o f revisions to personal
income (chart 3). The mean range o f nine-tenths o f
the revisions to the state estimates from the prelimi­
nary estimates to the latest estimates is 3.4 percentage
points, and it extends from -1 .6 percentage points to
1.8 percentage points. Only eight states have larger
ranges for personal income than for wages and salaries,

and none has larger ranges for nonfarm personal in­
come than for wages and salaries. In all, 18 states have
ranges for wages and salaries greater than 3.5 percent­
age points, but only 2— Montana and Washing­
ton— have ranges greater than 3.5 percentage points
for both personal income and wages and salaries.
The effects o f the revisions to farm income on the
revisions to personal income may be examined indi­
rectly by comparing the revisions to nonfarm personal
income with those to total personal income. For the
Nation, the quarter-by-quarter revisions to the two
personal income measures differ modestly, and the

largest differences occur in 1992-94 (panel 1 o f chart
4). The correlation between the two sets o f revisions to
the two income measures is 0.9669. However, the dif­
ferences between the revisions to the two measures
vary widely by region and by state. For the New En­
gland region, the differences between the two measures
are the smallest o f those for any region; the lines indi­
cating the revisions to the measures are almost identi­
cal, and their correlation is 0.9997 (panel 2). In
contrast, the revisions to the measures for the Plains
region are the largest o f any region; there is little corre­

December 2003

spondence between the two revisions measures, and
their correlation is just 0.2745 (panel 3).
A major factor in determining the effects o f the revi­
sions to farm income on personal income is the rela­
tive size o f the share o f farm income in personal
income. The share o f farm income in U.S. personal av­
erages 1.04 percent in 1991-2001. The share for the
New England region averages 0.26 percent, but the
share in the Plains region averages 3.10 percent. Differ­
ences in the types o f agricultural output that are im ­
portant in the regions also help to explain the

differences in revisions to the two income measures
because different products have different price and
quantity volatilities. Based on the values o f marketings,
the most important agricultural products in New En­
gland include greenhouse products, dairy products
and eggs, fruit, and sweet corn. In contrast, in the
Plains states, the most important products include cat­
tle, grains and oil seeds, and hogs; stocks o f these largescale-of-production commodities are more likely to be
moved in and out o f farm inventories rather than
taken to market, which creates the type o f estimation
problems described earlier in this article.

Revisions by the quarters of the year
It is interesting to examine the mean absolute revisions
o f personal income separately for the four quarters of
years. The mean absolute revisions— from the prelimi­
nary estimates to the latest estimates for the three in­
come measures— are disaggregated into the revisions
for the first quarters, those for the second quarters,
those for the third quarters, and those for the fourth
quarters in table 6. For the Nation and for most states
and regions, the first-quarter mean absolute revisions
for all three measures are larger than those for the
other three quarters. This difference may be the result
of the use o f source data for the preliminary estimates
that do not include lump-sum payments, which can be
deferred or accelerated at the end of the calendar year
to take advantage o f changes in Federal income tax
laws. In addition, the first quarter is typically when
changes in unemployment insurance tax laws become
effective, and changes in coverage o f employees and in
the definition o f wages would first appear in the CEW
wage reports for the first quarter.
The mean absolute revisions for personal income
for the first quarters are larger than 1.00 percentage
point for 20 states; these states are in all o f the regions
except the Southeast. In contrast, the revisions for only
six states are larger than 1.00 percentage point when all
the revisions for the quarters are grouped (see table 3),
and these states are all in the Plains region or in the
Rocky Mountain region. The mean absolute revisions
are larger than 1.00 percentage point for only four
states for the second quarters, for only three states for
the third quarter, and for only eight states for the
fourth quarter.
The mean absolute revisions for the first-quarter es­
timates of wages and salaries are generally larger than
the revisions for the estimates o f personal income; for
27 states, the mean absolute revisions are larger than

For additional analyses of the revisions to the esti­
mates of state personal income, see the more detailed
paper that is available on BEA’s Web site at
<www.bea.gov>, in the “Working Papers” portion of
the “Papers and Presentations” section. The addi­
tional analyses indicate that revisions tend to move
the state estimates toward longer run trends for each
state. They indicate a weaker tendency to revise
toward national total estimates. They also indicate
that states with larger populations tend to have
smaller revisions and that states where farm income is
relatively important tend to have larger revisions.

1.00 percentage point. The mean absolute revisions for
estimates o f wages and salaries are larger than 1.00 per­
centage point in other quarters; for 12 states for the
second quarters, for 6 states for the third quarters, and
for 7 states for the fourth quarters.
The mean absolute revisions for nonfarm personal
income are larger than 1.00 percentage point only in
the first two quarters; for 11 states in the first quarters
and for 1 state in the second quarters. In all o f these
states except Wyoming, the mean absolute revisions
for wages and salaries are more than 1.00 percentage
point for the same quarters. As a result o f the introduc­
tion o f farm-related income, the number o f states with
mean absolute revisions for personal income greater

than 1.00 percentage point in the four quarters in ­
creased by 23 states— 9 states in the first quarters, 3
states each in the second and third quarters, and 8
states in the fourth quarters.
The sizes o f mean absolute revisions for personal in­
come for the four quarters can also be evaluated by
tabulating the number o f states that have the largest
mean absolute revisions in the first quarter, the num ­
ber that have the second largest revisions, and the third
and fourth largest revisions. For 42 states, the largest
revisions to personal income are in the first quarters
and 9 o f the second largest, but none o f the third or
fourth largest. Conversely, none o f the states have the
largest revisions in the third quarters.

fourth o f the size that they would be if they were ex­
pressed at annual rates.12
The mean absolute revision for the preliminary esti­
mates o f annual personal income for the Nation is 0.31
percentage point, slightly smaller than the revision for
the preliminary quarterly estimate o f 0.35 percentage
point and the revision for the second quarterly esti­
mate o f 0.33 percentage point. The mean absolute revi­
sions for the preliminary annual estimates are smaller
than the quarterly revisions for almost all o f the re­
gions: An unweighted average o f these revisions for the
regions is 0.34 percentage point, compared with values
o f 0.53 percentage point for the preliminary quarterly
estimates and 0.49 percentage point for the second
quarterly estimates. The mean absolute revisions for
the preliminary annual estimates for the individual
states are also generally smaller than the revisions for
the preliminary quarterly estimates; only those for Ala­
bama, Hawaii, Nevada, and Oregon are larger.
Similarly, the mean absolute revisions for the pre­
liminary annual estimates o f nonfarm personal in­
come o f only 8 states are larger than the corresponding
preliminary quarterly estimates, and those o f 13 states
are larger than the corresponding second quarterly es­
timates. Also, the mean absolute revisions for the an­
nual estimates o f wages and salaries are smaller than
those for personal income; the reverse is true for the
quarterly estimates.
In contrast, the mean absolute revisions for the pre­
liminary annual estimates o f wages and salaries for all
o f the states are much smaller than those for the two
vintages o f quarterly estimates. The median for the re­
visions for the annual estimates for the states is 0.20
percentage point, the median for the preliminary quar­
terly estimates is 0.79 percentage point, and the m e­
dian for the second quarterly estimates is 0.67
percentage point.
The mean absolute revisions for the preliminary an­
nual estimates are smaller than those for the quarterly
estimates for three main reasons. First, CEW wage and
salary data for the Nation and for the states are incor­
porated into the preliminary annual estimates for most
o f the period. Second, state-level annual data on farm
proprietors’ income are incorporated into the prelimi­
nary annual estimates. Third, annual estimates are not
affected by seasonal adjustments, which are subject to
large revisions.
The differences o f mean revisions for the prelimi­
nary annual estimates and those for the quarterly
12.
The formula for converting a percent change at annual rate, C, to a
percentage change at quarterly rate is (( (l+ (C /1 0 0 ))1/4)- l)* 1 0 0 . With this
formula, a positive C will yield a quarterly value slightly less than a fourth
its size, and a negative C will yield a quarterly value slightly more than a
fourth its size.

The Reliability of the State Personal Income Estimates

estimates are much smaller, reflecting the means’ small
sizes. The mean revisions for the annual estimates of
total personal income, nonfarm personal income, and
wages and salaries are negative for all states.

R ecen t D evelop m ents
The seasonal adjustment procedure for quarterly state
estimates of wages and salaries has been improved in
the past decade by implementing several new proce­
dures. Adjustments have been made to the quarterly
estimates for 1992-94, which were affected by tax legis­
lation, and for the quarters with irregular pay patterns
that contain more or fewer than 13 Fridays. The Cen­
sus X—11 ARIMA program is run twice a year when
BEA prepares historical revisions of quarterly state
personal income. These revisions incorporate the latest
available quarterly CEW wage data. As a result, the
projected seasonal factors used for the second quar­
terly estimates have produced a smoother series, and
the extrapolation for the most current quarter pro­
duces better estimates.
Since July 2002, the NIPA quarterly wage and salary
estimates have been revised 6 months after the end of
each quarter to incorporate the most recent CEW data.
Now, the second quarterly state estimates of wages and
salaries, which incorporate the state CEW data, are
controlled to the revised NIPA national estimates,
which also incorporate CEW data. In the future, the
revisions to the second quarterly state estimates should
be smaller because of this change in the national es­
timating methodology to match the state methodol­
ogyIn July 2003, BEA presented for the first time esti­
mates of quarterly state personal income on the basis
of the North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS). The estimates at the NAICS-based sector
level provide greater industry detail than the divisionlevel basis of the Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) system. Personal income, nonfarm personal in­

come, and total wages and salaries are the same under
both the SIC and NAICS, but the conversion of the es­
timates of quarterly state personal income by industry
to NAICS will affect the revisions of state personal in­
come for several reasons. The NAICS classification sys­
tem substantially differs from the SIC industry
classification system, so accurate time-series editing of
the source data will be difficult until enough observa­
tions are available. In addition, establishments in new
sectors, such as the management of companies and en­
terprises, may be subject to more reclassifications by
the source data agencies than establishments in such
little changed sectors as construction. Finally, until
enough quarters of data become available, seasonal
factors for the estimates of wages and salaries will be
significantly revised.
The revisions to the quarterly estimates of state per­
sonal income continue to be affected by lump-sum
payments. Exercised stock options may have dimin­
ished as a compensation tool after the collapse of the
information-technology-related sector, but they are
still used by many companies. The lack of data for
these and other lump-sum payments to employees in
the preliminary estimate will continue to cause larger
revisions to the preliminary estimates of wages and sal­
aries than to the second estimates, which have these
payments included in the source data.
The incorporation of comprehensive revisions will
continue to affect the ability to effectively study some
revisions of the estimates of state personal income.
Both definitional changes and statistical changes that
are incorporated into the comprehensive 2003 NIPA
revision may change the quarterly growth rates in esti­
mates of state personal income that will be released in
April 2004. The latest estimates may therefore differ
significantly from the preliminary estimates and the
second estimates because of the different methodolo­
gies or definitions used when the estimates are pre­
pared.

N o t e . In this table, unlike in the international transactions accounts, income and capital outflows are shown without a
current-cost adjustment, and income is shown net of withholding taxes. In addition, unlike in the international investment
position, the direct investment position is valued at historical cost.




The data in this table are from tables 16 and 17 in “U.S. Direct Investment Abroad: Detail for Historical-Cost Position and
Related Capital and Income Flows, 2002” in the September 2003 issue of the S u r v e y o f C u r r e n t B u s in e s s .

N o te . Totals shown for the United States differ from the national income and product account estimates of gross
domestic product (GDP) because GSP is derived from gross domestic income, which differs from GDP by the statistical
discrepancy. In addition, GSP excludes and GDP includes the compensation of Federal civilian and military personnel
stationed abroad and government consumption of fixed capital for military structures located abroad and for military equip-




ment, except office equipment. Also, GSP and GDP have different revision schedules,

estimate of personal income in the national income and product accounts (NIPAs) because of differences in coverage, in the

changes in the quantities of individual goods and services
are weighted by their prices. (Quantity changes for GDP
are often referred to as changes in “real GDP”) For the
price indexes, changes in the prices for individual goods
and services are weighted by quantities produced. (In
practice, the current-dollar value and price indexes for
most GDP components are determined largely using data
from Federal Government surveys, and the real values of
these components are calculated by deflation at the most
detailed level for which all the required data are avail­
able.)
The annual changes in quantities and prices are calcu­
lated using a Fisher formula that incorporates weights
from 2 adjacent years. For example, the annual percent
change in real GDP in 1997-98 uses prices for 1997 and
1998 as weights, and the 1997-98 annual percent change
in the GDP price index uses quantities for 1997 and 1998
as weights. Because the Fisher formula allows for the
effects of changes in relative prices and in the composi­
tion of output over time, the resulting quantity or price
changes are not affected by the substitution bias that is
associated with changes in quantities and prices calcu­
lated using a fixed-weighted formula.1 These annual
changes are “chained” (multiplied) together to form time
series of quantity and price; the percent changes that are
calculated from these time series are not affected by the
choice of reference period.
The quarterly changes in quantities and prices are cal­
culated with weights from two adjacent quarters. As part
of an annual or comprehensive revision, the quarterly
indexes through the most recent complete year are
adjusted to ensure that the average of the quarterly
indexes conforms to the corresponding annual index.
In addition, BEA prepares measures of real GDP and
its components in a dollar-denominated form, desig­
nated “chained (1996) dollar estimates.” These estimates
are computed by multiplying the 1996 current-dollar
value of GDP, or of a GDP component, by the corre­
sponding quantity index number. For example, if a current-dollar GDP component equaled $100 in 1996 and if
real output for this component increased by 10 percent in
1997, then the “chained (1996) dollar” value of this com­
1. In addition, because the changes in quantities and prices calculated using these
weights are symmetric, the product o f a quantity index and the corresponding price
index is generally equal to the current-dollar index.




ponent in 1997 would be $110 ($100x 1.10). Note that
percentage changes in the chained (1996) dollar estimates
and the percentage changes calculated from the quantity
indexes are identical, except for small differences due to
rounding.
Because of the formula used for calculating real GDP,
the chained (1996) dollar estimates for detailed GDP
components do not add to the chained-dollar value of
GDP or to any intermediate aggregates. A “residual” line
is shown as the difference between GDP and the sum of
the most detailed components shown in each table. The
residual generally is small close to the base period but
tends to become larger as one moves further from it.
Accurate measures of component contributions to the
percentage changes in real GDP and its major compo­
nents are shown in NIPA tables 8.2-8.6.
BEA also publishes the “implicit price deflator” (IPD),
which is calculated as the ratio of current-dollar value to
the corresponding chained-dollar value, multiplied by
100; the values of the IPD and of the corresponding
“chain-type” price index are very close.
For quarters and months, the estimates are presented
at annual rates, which show the value that would be regis­
tered if the rate of activity measured for a quarter or a
month were maintained for a full year. Annual rates are
used so that time periods of different lengths— for exam­
ple, quarters and years— may be compared easily. These
annual rates are determined simply by multiplying the
estimated rate of activity by 4 (for quarterly data) or by
12 (for monthly data).
Percent changes in the estimates are also expressed at
annual rates. Calculating these changes requires a variant
of the compound interest formula:

where r is the percent change at an annual rate; xt is the
level of activity in the later period; x0 is the level of activ­
ity in the earlier period; m is the periodicity of the data
(for example, 1 for annual data, 4 for quarterly, or 12 for
monthly); and n is the number of periods between the
earlier and later periods (that is, t - o).
Quarterly and monthly NIPA estimates are seasonally
adjusted, if necessary. Seasonal adjustment removes from
the time series the average impact of variations that nor­
mally occur at about the same time and in about the same
magnitude each year— for example, weather, holidays,
and tax payment dates. After seasonal adjustment, cycli­
cal and other short-term changes in the economy stand
out more clearly.
