B usiness Situation: A dvance E stim ates fo r th e Fourth Q u arter of
2004 and fo r 2004
Economic growth slowed in the fourth quarter. Real GDP increased 3.1 percent
after increasing 4.0 percent in the third quarter; the slowdown mainly reflected an
increase in the trade deficit and a slowdown in consumer spending for durable
goods. Inflation picked up: The price index for gross domestic purchases increased
2.7 percent after increasing 1.9 percent, mainly reflecting an acceleration in energy
prices. Real disposable personal income surged, increasing 8.4 percent after
increasing 2.0 percent.
In 2004, real GDP increased 4.4 percent after increasing 3.0 percent in 2003.
The acceleration reflected accelerations in nonresidential fixed investment, in
exports, and in consumer spending and an upturn in inventory investment.
Inflation remained moderate.

R eliab ility of th e N IPA Estim ates of U.S. E conom ic A ctivity
The results of the most recent review of the estimates of GDP and of gross
domestic income confirm that these estimates continue to present an accurate
picture of U.S. economic activity. Specifically, the quarterly estimates reliably
indicate whether U.S. economic growth is contracting or expanding and whether it
is accelerating or decelerating. The estimates also accurately show current
economic growth and the long-term trends in growth.

R esearch S po tlight: H ed onic Price Indexes fo r Digital C am eras
This research tested five methods of adjustment to account for differences in the
quality of digital cameras. All five methods produced similar results. These results
suggest that simple, hedonic price indexes may be used to accurately control for
the quality of products with rapidly changing features, such as digital cameras, and
to reliably supplement the more conventional matched-model methods.

Federal Budget Estimates for Fiscal Year 2006. An adjusted presentation of
the administratation’s budget estimates from the Budget o f the United
States Government that is consistent with the framework of the NIPAs is
scheduled to be published in an upcoming issue of the S u r v e y .
Index to the NIPA Tables. An updated index to the estimates that are pre­
sented in the NIPA tables will be published in an upcoming issue of the
S u r v ey . This index will reflect the changes in classifications and presenta­
tion that resulted from the 2003 comprehensive NIPA revision and the
2004 annual NIPA revision.

Business Situation
Advance Estimates for the Fourth Quarter of 2004 and for 2004
the second quarter. The fourth-quarter deceleration
in real GDP growth mainly reflected an increase in
the trade deficit and a deceleration in consumer
spending for durable goods.3 These developments
were partly offset by an upturn in inventory invest­
ment.
• Prices of goods and services purchased by U.S. resi­
dents increased 2.7 percent in the fourth quarter
after increasing 1.9 percent in the third quarter and
3.5 percent in the second quarter. The acceleration
in the fourth quarter (and the deceleration in the
third quarter) mainly reflected the pattern of energy
prices.
• Real disposable personal income increased 8.4 per­
cent in the fourth quarter after increasing 2.0
percent in the third quarter; the fourth-quarter
increase largely reflected a special dividend payment

I N 2004, real gross domestic product (GDP) in­
creased 4.4 percent, the largest increase since the
4.5-percent increase in 1999; GDP increased 3.0 per­
cent in 2003 (table l ) .1 Inflation, though higher than in
2003, remained moderate. (See “Real GDP for 2004”)
In the fourth quarter of 2004, real GDP increased
3.1 percent— 0.9 percentage point less than in the third
quarter, and inflation accelerated (chart l) .2

T h e Fourth Q u arter of 2004
The advance estimates for the fourth quarter show the
following:
• Real GDP increased 3.1 percent after increasing
4.0 percent in the third quarter and 3.3 percent in
1. “Real” estimates are in chained (2000) dollars, and price indexes are
chain-type measures.
2. Quarterly estimates in the NIPAs are expressed at seasonally adjusted
annual rates, unless otherwise specified. Q uarter-to-quarter dollar changes
are differences between these published estimates. Percent changes are cal­
culated from unrounded data and annualized.

In this article, “trade deficit” is shorthand for the NIPA series “net
exports o f goods and services,” “consum er spending” is shorthand for “per­
sonal consum ption expenditures,” “inventory investment” is shorthand for
“change in private inventories,” and “government spending” is shorthand
for “government consum ption expenditures and gross investment.”

by the Microsoft Corporation (see “Personal
Income”).
Among the contributors to the deceleration in
real GDP growth, the trade deficit subtracted 1.73
percentage points in the fourth quarter after subtracting 0.10 percentage point in the third. Exports
turned down in the fourth quarter, decreasing 3.9 percent after increasing 6.0 percent. The downturn was
due to exports of goods, which decreased 6.9 percent
after increasing 9.5 percent; exports of services turned
up. The downturn was attributable to all the major categories of goods exports except nonautomotive consumer goods, which turned up.
Imports, which are subtracted in the calculation of

GDP, accelerated and subtracted 1.34 percentage
points from GDP growth after subtracting 0.69 percentage point. Imports of goods accelerated, and imports of services turned down. Imports of both
durable and nondurable nonautomotive consumer
goods turned up, and imports of petroleum products
surged, increasing 56.4 percent; these changes were
partly offset by a downturn in industrial supplies and
materials. The downturn in imports of services primarily reflected a downturn in royalties and license fees,
which had been boosted in the third quarter by payments to the International Olympic Committee for
broadcast rights to the 2004 Summer Olympic Games.
Consumer spending increased 4.6 percent in the
fourth quarter— 0.5 percentage point less than in the
third quarter— and contributed 3.22 percentage points
to GDP growth after contributing 3.57 percentage
points in the third quarter. The deceleration was due to
a slowdown in spending for durable goods, which in­
creased 6.7 percent after increasing 17.2 percent; the
slowdown mainly reflected a slowdown in purchases of
motor vehicles.
Inventory investment added 0.42 percentage point
to GDP growth after subtracting 0.97 percentage
point. Real inventory stocks increased more in the
fourth quarter ($45.8 billion) than in the third quarter
($34.5 billion), mainly reflecting a smaller decrease in
retail motor vehicle dealer inventories.
The advance estimates for the fourth quarter also
show the following:
• Nonresidential fixed investment increased 10.3 per­
cent after increasing 13.0 percent and contributed
1.05 percentage points to GDP growth after con­
tributing 1.27 percentage points. The deceleration
reflected a slowdown in equipment and software
and a larger decrease in structures in the fourth
quarter than in the third quarter.
• Residential investment increased 0.3 percent after
increasing 1.6 percent and contributed 0.01 per­
centage point to GDP growth after contributing
0.09 percentage point. The slight deceleration was
primarily accounted for by structures.
• Government spending increased 0.9 percent after
increasing 0.7 percent and contributed 0.18 per-

centage point to GDP growth after contributing
0.13 percentage point. Upturns in Federal nonde­
fense spending and in state and local government
spending were largely offset by a slowdown in
spending on national defense.

• Real final sales of domestic product— GDP less the
change in private inventories— increased 2.7 per­
cent after increasing 5.0 percent.
• Real gross domestic purchases— real GDP less
net exports of goods and services— increased 4.7

Fourth-Quarter 2004 Advance NIPA Estimates: Source Data and Assumptions
The “advance” estimates for the fourth quarter are
based on the following major source data; as more and
better data become available, the estimates will be
revised.1 (The number of months for which data were
available is shown in parentheses.)
Personal consumption expenditures: Sales of retail
stores (3), unit auto and truck sales (3), and consumers’
shares of auto and truck sales (2);
Nonresidential fixed investment: Unit auto and truck
sales (3), construction put in place (2), manufacturers’
shipments of machinery and equipment other than air­
1. After the “advance” NIPA estimates were released, Statistics Canada
announced that Canadian im ports from the United States for
November were underestimated and provided a corrected estimate.
That data revision, as well as other newly available and revised source
data, will be incorporated into the “prelim inary” NIPA estimates that
BEA will release on February 25, 2005. The overall revision to U.S.
exports and to GDP between the advance and preliminary estimates
cannot be determined at this time. For more inform ation on U.S.
exports to Canada, go to < www.bea.gov/bea/di/canada.htm> on BEA’s
Web site.

craft (3), shipments of civilian aircraft (2), and exports
and imports of machinery and equipment (2);
Residential investment: Construction put in place (2),
single-family housing starts (3), sales of new homes (2),
and sales of existing houses (3);
Change in private inventories: Trade and nondurable
manufacturing inventories (2), durable manufacturing
inventories (3), and unit auto and truck inventories (3);
Net exports of goods and services: Exports and
imports of goods and services (2);
Government consumption expenditures and gross
investment: Federal outlays (3), state and local construc­
tion put in place (2), and state and local employment (3);
GDP prices: Consumer price indexes (3), producer
price indexes (3), U.S. import and export price indexes
(3), and values and quantities of petroleum imports (2).
BEA made assumptions for source data that were not
available. Table A shows the assumptions for key series; a
more comprehensive list is available on BEA’s Web site at

fourth quarter from 1.9 percent in the third quarter
(table 3). The step-up primarily reflected an accelera­
tion in energy prices; excluding prices for food and en­
ergy, the price index increased 1.9 percent after
increasing 1.7 percent (chart 2).
Prices of goods and services purchased by consum­
ers increased 2.5 percent after increasing 1.3 percent.
The price of gasoline and oil turned up sharply, and
the prices of electricity and gas decelerated. Food
prices increased at the same rate as in the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the price index for consumer
purchases excluding food and energy, which is some­
times viewed as an indicator of the underlying or core
rate of inflation, increased 1.6 percent after increasing
0.9 percent.
Prices of private nonresidential fixed investment in­
creased 1.7 percent after increasing 0.9 percent. Prices
of equipment and software decreased less than in the
third quarter, mainly reflecting an upturn in the
prices of transportation equipment, specifically
trucks; prices of structures accelerated slightly.
Prices paid by government increased 4.0 percent af­
ter increasing 3.6 percent. The step-up was evident at
both the Federal level and at the state and local govern­
ment level.
The GDP price index, which measures the prices
paid for goods and services produced in the United

States, increased 2.0 percent, 0.7 percentage point less
than the price index for gross domestic purchases,
which measures the prices paid for goods and services
by U.S. residents regardless of where those goods and
services were produced. The smaller increase in the
GDP price index reflected a smaller increase in export
prices (which are included in the GDP price index)
than in import prices (which are included in the price
index for gross domestic purchases).

Personal Incom e
Real disposable personal income (DPI) surged in the
fourth quarter, increasing 8.4 percent, after increasing
2.0 percent in the third (chart 3). This surge primarily
reflected a sharp acceleration in current-dollar DPI

Business Situation

(table 4).5 The implicit price deflator for personal con­
sumption expenditures (which is used to deflate DPI)
accelerated.
Personal income, which is only measured in current
dollars, increased $250.3 billion (or 10.8 percent) after
increasing $81.6 billion (or 3.4 percent). The accelera­
tion reflected accelerations in personal dividend in­
come and in proprietors’ income and an upturn in
rental income. Current transfer receipts increased at
about the same rate as in the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the acceleration in dividend
income reflected a special dividend payment by the
Microsoft Corporation, which boosted fourth-quarter

February 2005

personal dividend income by $99.4 billion (annual
rate).6
The fourth-quarter changes in proprietors’ income,
rental income, and current transfer receipts largely
reflected the effects of the four hurricanes that struck

6. O n December 2, 2004, M icrosoft paid a special dividend o f $3.00 per
share to shareholders o f record as o f November 17, 2004. The total dividend
payout was about $32 billion. BEA estimates that about three-fourths o f the
total dividend payout (or $24.9 billion) was paid to persons; this amount
has been converted to an a n n u al rate ($99.4 billion) and recorded as per­
sonal dividend incom e for the fourth quarter in December.
Quarterly NIPA estimates are presented at annual rates, which show the
value that would be registered if the rate o f activity that is measured for a
quarter were m aintained for a full year. These annual rates are determined
simply by multiplying the estimated rate o f activity by 4.

the southern and eastern United States in the third
quarter.7 The acceleration in proprietors’ income re­
flected an acceleration in nonfarm proprietors’ income
and an upturn in farm proprietors’ income. In the
third quarter, nonfarm proprietors’ income was re­
duced $4.0 billion by the loss of uninsured business
property due to the hurricanes. The income of security
brokers turned up in the fourth quarter. The upturn in
farm proprietors’ income reflected an upturn in farm
output and a smaller decrease in the prices received by
farmers.
Rental income increased $9.3 billion after decreas­
ing $18.8 billion. In the third quarter, rental income
was reduced $13.6 billion by the loss of uninsured resi­
dential property due to the hurricanes.
Current transfer receipts increased about the same
in the fourth quarter as in the third quarter. A fourthquarter downturn in “other current transfer receipts”
was offset by an acceleration in government social ben­
efits. The downturn reflected a downturn in net insur­
ance settlements; payments for hurricane-related
damage to motor vehicles and to other consumer du­
rable goods added $13.7 billion to third-quarter net
settlements. The acceleration in government social
benefits reflected an upturn in Medicaid payments by
states and an acceleration in Federal social security
payments.

Real G D P for 2004
Real GDP increased 4.4 percent in 2004 after increas­
ing 3.0 percent in 2003 (table 1). Real gross domestic
purchases increased 4.8 percent after increasing 3.3
percent.8 (In the expansion of the 1990s, real GDP
growth averaged 3.5 percent at an annual rate, and the
growth of real gross domestic purchases averaged 4.0
percent.9)
The acceleration in real GDP in 2004 reflected accel­
erations in nonresidential fixed investment and in ex­
ports, an upturn in inventory investment, and an
acceleration in consumer spending that were partly
offset by an acceleration in imports and by a decelera­
tion in government spending.
Nonresidential fixed investment increased 10.3

8. All the 2004 changes are calculated from annual levels for 2003 and
2004. From the fourth quarter o f 2003 to the fourth quarter o f 2004, real
GDP increased 3.7 percent, real gross domestic purchases increased 4.5 per­
cent, real D PI increased 3.9 percent, and the price index for gross domestic
purchases increased 2.9 percent.

percent in 2004 and contributed 1.02 percentage
points to GDP growth; in 2003, it increased 3.3
percent and contributed 0.33 percentage point. In
2004, investment in equipment and software picked
up, and investment in structures turned up. The
pickup reflected accelerations in information pro­
cessing equipment and software and in “other”
equipment and an upturn in transportation equip­
ment.
Exports increased 8.1 percent in 2004 and contrib­
uted 0.77 percentage point to GDP growth; in 2003,
exports increased 1.9 percent and contributed 0.18
percentage point (in 2002, exports decreased). In 2004,
exports of both goods and services accelerated.
Businesses added to their inventories in 2004
after drawing down inventories in 2003. The swing
from liquidation to accumulation added 0.44 per­
centage point to GDP growth in 2004. In 2003, the
swing from accumulation to liquidation subtracted
0.10 percentage point from GDP growth.
Consumer spending increased 3.8 percent in
2004 and contributed 2.67 percentage points to GDP
growth; in 2003, it increased 3.3 percent and con­
tributed 2.29 percentage points. Spending on ser­
vices and on nondurable goods accelerated in 2004;
in contrast, spending on big-ticket consumer goods
(such as motor vehicles) slowed.
Imports increased 9.8 percent in 2004 and sub­
tracted 1.38 percentage points from GDP growth; in
2003, imports increased 4.4 percent and subtracted
0.61 percentage point. The acceleration primarily re­
flected an acceleration in imports of goods.
Government spending increased 2.0 percent in
2004 and contributed 0.37 percentage point to GDP
growth; in 2003, it increased 2.8 percent and
contributed 0.52 percentage point. The decelera­
tion reflected a downturn in Federal nondefense
spending and slight decelerations in national de­
fense spending and in state and local government
spending. In Federal nondefense spending, both
compensation and intermediate services turned down
in 2004.
The price index for gross domestic purchases in­
creased 2.4 percent after increasing 2.0 percent (table
3). The price index for gross domestic purchases ex­
cluding food and energy increased 1.9 percent after in­
creasing 1.6 percent.
Real DPI increased 3.4 percent after increasing
2.3 percent. The acceleration mainly reflected an accel­
eration in current-dollar personal income that was
partly offset by an upturn in personal current taxes.

Reliability of the NIPA Estimates of U.S. Economic
Activity
By Dennis J. Fixler and Bruce T. Grimm

T

HE goal of BEA’s national income and product
accounts (NIPAs) is to provide timely, compre­
hensive, and reliable descriptions of the condition of
the U.S. economy. Two featured measures— gross do­
mestic product (GDP) and gross domestic income
(GDI)— aim to provide snapshots of the economy at
specified times.
This study analyzes the reliability of BEA’s quarterly
and annual estimates of GDP, of GDI, and of their
components for 1983-2002. In this article, “reliability”
refers to the magnitudes of the revisions to the esti­
mates of these measures.1 The revisions are defined as
the changes from an earlier vintage of estimates to a
later vintage (see the box “Vintages and Timing of Re­
visions”). The latest available estimates are presumed
to be the best estimates and are used as the standards
for reliability.
Confirming previous research, the study concludes
that BEA’s estimates are generally reliable and that
these estimates thus present a useful picture of the Na­
tion’s output of goods and services. Specifically, succes­
sive revisions to these estimates were usually able to
indicate whether growth was positive or negative,
whether growth was accelerating or decelerating,
whether growth was high or low relative to trend, and
where the economy was in relation to the business cy­
cle.
In order to present timely estimates of GDP, BEA
prepares quarterly estimates that are based on prelimi­
nary data from Census Bureau surveys, such as those
for retail sales and manufacturers’ shipments, and on
extrapolated estimates, such as those for international
trade and for consumer spending on domestic services.
The estimates are revised to incorporate more compre­
hensive and more up-to-date data from surveys, tax
records, and other administrative records when the
data become available. The latest available estimates
typically reflect not only updated source data but
also changes in various definitions and statistical

conventions.
Because these data come from a wide range of
sources— including random and nonrandom surveys,
administrative records, and extrapolated and interpo­
lated estimates— the construction of confidence inter­
vals and standard errors is not strictly possible.
Accordingly, the only way to measure the accuracy of
the estimates is to compare them with later estimates;
for example, the advance estimates are compared with
the final estimates.
The data show that since the early 1980s, the revi­
sions to the annual rates of change— without regard to
sign— from the current quarterly estimates to the latest
estimates of current-dollar and real GDP have aver­
aged slightly more than 1 percentage point. Substantial
portions of these revisions result from the introduc­
tion of new concepts and new methods as part of the
annual and comprehensive revisions of the NIPAs. For
example, in the 2003 comprehensive revision, a new
measure of banking services identified services re­
ceived by borrowers as well as by depositors, and as a
result, the cumulative growth of current-dollar GDP in
1992-2002 was reduced 0.4 percentage point.
The revisions— without regard to sign— from an
early vintage of current quarterly estimates to a later
vintage of quarterly estimates tend to be smaller; the
average revision from the advance estimates of real
GDP to the preliminary estimates is 0.5 percentage
point. The average revision from the advance estimates
to the final estimates is 0.6 percentage point, and the
average revision from the preliminary estimates to the
final estimates is 0.3 percentage point.
Further, many of the quarterly, annual, and compre­
hensive revisions are offsetting. The mean revision,
which accounts for whether the revisions are positive
or negative, from the advance estimates of real GDP to
both the preliminary and final estimates is 0.1 per­
centage point; the mean revision from the advance
estimates to the latest estimates is 0.4 percentage point.

The mean revision from both the preliminary and final
estimates to the latest estimates is 0.3 percentage point.
For 1983-2002, the average growth rate for the
quarterly estimates of real GDP was 3.4 percent. The
growth rates ranged from -3 .0 to 9.3 percent, with a
standard deviation of 2.4 percentage points. The quar­
terly estimates of real GDP successfully indicated the
following:
• The direction of change in real GDP 98 percent of
the time.
•Whether real GDP was accelerating or decelerating
74 percent of the time.
•Whether real GDP growth was high relative to trend
about two-thirds of the time and whether it was low
relative to trend about three-fifths of the time.
• The cyclical peaks in all five of the recessions in
1969-2000. (The quarterly movements of real GDP
around the 2001 recession are complex, and the
peak quarter has not been clearly identified; see the
next section.)
• The cyclical troughs in three of the five recessions;
both the missed troughs were within a quarter of
the latest estimates of the troughs for both quarters.
The remainder of this article discusses (1) revisions
to quarterly estimates of GDP, (2) revisions to annual
estimates of GDP, (3) revisions to the estimates of GDI,
(4) revisions and the relationship between GDP and
GDI, (5) the statistical discrepancy (the difference be­
tween GDP and GDI), and (6) the conclusions of this
study.

1. Revisions to Quarterly Estimates of GDP
The measures of reliability featured in this evaluation
are mean revisions and mean absolute revisions from
the earlier estimates to the latest available estimates
(see the box on page 10). The mean absolute revisions
and the mean revisions for the three quarterly esti­
mates of current-dollar and real GDP and their major
components for 1983-2002 are evaluated.2

Mean absolute revisions
For both current-dollar and real GDP, the mean abso­
lute revisions from the advance estimates to the pre­
liminary estimates decreased slightly. The mean
absolute revisions from the preliminary estimates to
the final estimates increased slightly (table 1). The
mean absolute revisions for both current-dollar GDP
and real GDP are slightly more than 1.0 percentage
point, and the revisions for real GDP are about 0.1 to
0.2 percentage point higher than those for the currentdollar GDP.
The pattern of the mean absolute revisions for the
17 components of GDP vary:
• From the advance estimates to the preliminary esti­
mates of current-dollar GDP, the mean absolute
2. Current-dollar GDP is adjusted for the changes in prices over tim e in
order to prepare real GDP. At the m ost detailed level, the com ponents o f
real GDP are calculated by dividing the current-dollar estimates by price
indexes. Both real GDP and its components are estimated by using a Fisher
index chain formula, so the com ponents in chained dollars do not sum to
GDP.

Vintages and Tim ing of the Revisions
The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) prepares
quarterly and annual estimates of gross domestic product
(GDP) in the national income and product accounts
(NIPAs). It prepares three vintages of quarterly GDP
estimates—advance, preliminary, and final estimates.
The advance estimates for a quarter are released near the
end of the first month after the end of the quarter; the
preliminary estimates for the quarter are released 2
months after the end of the quarter, and the final
estimates are released 3 months after the end of the
quarter. In addition, as part of the annual NIPA revision,
the quarterly estimates for the 3 preceding years are
revised.
BEA prepares four vintages of annual estimates for a
year—the “sum of finals,” the first annual estimates, the
second annual estimates, and the third annual estimates.
The “sum of finals” is an average of the final estimates for
each quarter of a year that is prepared when the final esti­
mate for the fourth quarter of a year is available; these
estimates are released in March with the release of the
final fourth-quarter estimates. The annual estimates for 3




9

preceding years are revised as part of the annual NIPA
revision; these revised estimates are the first, second, and
third annual estimates. The most recent annual NIPA
revision was released in July 2004, and it presented
revised annual and quarterly estimates for 2000-2003.
After the third annual revision of the estimates for a
year is released, these estimates are not revised or
released again until the next comprehensive NIPA revi­
sion.
Annual NIPA revisions are superseded by comprehen­
sive NIPA revisions, which historically occurred about
every 5 years. These revisions incorporate changes in def­
initions and classifications and statistical changes. The
most recent comprehensive revision was released in
December 2003, and it featured revised annual
estimates for 1929-2002 and revised quarterly estimates
for 1947-2003.
BEA also prepares revised quarterly estimates of gross
domestic income (GDI). The revised final estimates for a
quarter are now released with the preliminary estimates
of GDP for the succeeding quarter.

revisions for 11 components decreased. For real
GDP, these revisions for only 8 components
decreased.
• From the preliminary estimates to the final esti­
mates of current-dollar GDP, the mean absolute
revisions for only 8 components decreased. For real
GDP, these revisions for 10 components decreased.
The mean absolute revisions for the major compo­
nents tended neither to increase nor to decrease with
the subsequent estimates. However, except for the
mean absolute revisions for personal consumption ex­
penditures, the revisions for the other components of
GDP are considerably larger than the ones for currentdollar GDP and for real GDP.
Comparing the mean absolute revisions for the ma­
jor components of GDP with their subcomponents
yields a mixed picture.
Personal consumption expenditures (PCE). The
mean absolute revisions for current-dollar and real
PCE for durable goods and nondurable goods and
current-dollar PCE for services are larger than those
for total PCE. The revisions for real PCE for services

Mean Revisions and Mean
Absolute Revisions
The mean revision is calculated as the average of the
revisions in the relevant period:

MR = I ( L - E ) / n
E is the percent change in the earlier quarterly or
annual estimate, L is the percent change in the later
estimate, and n is the number of observations in the
sample period. Percent changes in quarterly estimates
are at quarterly rates, which corresponds to the con­
vention generally used for the estimates.
The revisions can be positive or negative, so they
may be offsetting. As a result, it is useful to look at the
mean absolute revision:

M AR = S |L - E |/n
The mean absolute revision is the average of the
absolute values of the revisions.
For most of the analyses in this study, the latest esti­
mates are used as the standards for the sizes of the
revisions.

Gross private domestic investment. The mean ab­
solute revisions for the components of fixed invest­
ment are all larger than those for total fixed
investment.
Government consumption expenditures and gross
investment. In contrast, the mean absolute revisions
for state and local government expenditures are much
smaller than those for total government expenditures.
The large mean absolute revisions for current-dollar
and real Federal Government nondefense expenditures
reflect a 1991 change in the treatment of the Commod­
ity Credit Corporation’s commodity loan program; af­
ter this change, the revisions for these expenditures
have been about an eighth of the size of the previous
revisions.3
Change in private inventories. The change in this
component is frequently negative, so mean absolute
revisions and mean revisions cannot be calculated.
However, the effects of revisions to this component can
be approximated by comparing the revisions for gross
private domestic investment (GPDI) with those for
fixed investment.4 The mean absolute revisions for
GPDI are more than double those for fixed investment,
indicating that the revisions to inventories contribute
significantly to the revisions to the estimates of GPDI.5

government expenditures and for most of its compo­
nents are positive. However, the mean revisions for
nondefense expenditures are large and negative. These
mean revisions, however, are small and negative in the
period beginning with 1992, as a result of the revised
treatment of the purchases and sales by the Commod­
ity Credit Corporation (CCC).

Revisions relative to the trend rate of GDP growth
In 1983-2002, the trend rate o f real GDP growth was
3.4 percent. “Near” trend growth is defined as growth
within one standard deviation of the trend— between
2.1 and 4.7 percent (table 2). Each row in table 2 sums
to the percent share of all the final estimates that were
below, near, or above trend, and each column sums to
the percent share of all the latest estimates that were
below, near, or above trend. For example, 38 percent of
the final estimates indicated below-trend growth, and
28 percent of the latest estimates indicated below-trend
growth; 23 percent of both the final estimates and lat­
est estimates indicated below-trend growth.

Mean revisions
The mean revisions for the advance estimates of both
current-dollar GDP and real GDP are about 0.4 per­
centage point, much smaller than the mean absolute
revisions. The mean revisions for the preliminary and
final estimates are about 0.3 percentage point.
These mean revisions are not indications of bias.
Most of these revisions reflect definitional and statisti­
cal changes that are part of comprehensive revisions in
order to improve the estimates (see Fixler 2004).
By component, the mean revisions for personal
consumption expenditures and expenditures for dura­
ble goods and nondurable goods are all positive. The
mean revisions for current-dollar expenditures for ser­
vices are negative, but the revisions for real expendi­
tures for services are positive.

vestment and for fixed investment are negative, but the

other components o f GDP.

Note. Below trend is a change at annual rate of less than 2.1 percent, near trend is from 2.1 to 4.7 percent,
and above trend is more than 4.7 percent.

Three-fifths of the estimates remain below, near, or
above trend. O f the estimates that changed categories,
more than two-thirds were revised to a more rapid
growth category.

Distribution of mean revisions
The distribution of the mean revisions from the final
quarterly estimates to the latest estimates of currentdollar and real GDP and their major components are
shown in table 3.
The standard deviations for the revisions are the
distributions of the revisions that are approximately
normally distributed. About two-thirds of these revi­
sions are within one standard deviation of the mean.
The mean revisions of current-dollar and real GDP
are not statistically significantly different from zero,
and seven of the current-dollar components and nine

o f fixed investment, are positive the second and third annual revision esti­
mates and later estimates are used. The change from negative to positive
suggests that the annual source data that are available with a 2-year lag dif­
fer from the earlier source data.

of the real components are not statistically signifi­
cantly different from zero. Because of the change in the
treatment of CCC purchases and sales in 1991, the sig­
nificance of the revisions for total government expen­
ditures, for Federal Government expenditures, and for
nondefense expenditures cannot be tested. For
1992-2002, all these components may be tested, and
none are statistically different from zero.
For the other components of GDP, four of the cur­
rent-dollar components are not testable, but all of the
real components are testable; three current-dollar
mean revisions and five real mean revisions are signifi­
cantly different from zero.7

February 2005

standard deviations in 1985-2002 are only about twofifths as large as those in 1978-84 (table 4). In both
periods, the standard deviations from the advance esti­
mates to the latest estimates increase; the increases re­
flect the use of more and better source data to prepare
the later vintages of the estimates.
The coefficients of variation give a sense of the
“tightness” of the distributions.10 The coefficients of all
four vintages are smaller in 1985-2002 than in
9. The earliest year for which BEA has found it feasible to reconstruct the
vintages o f the quarterly estimates o f GDP, GD I, and their m ajor com po­
nents is 1978.
10. The coefficients o f variation are defined as the standard deviations
divided by the mean percent changes in real GDP.

Sm oothness of GDP estim ates
Some analysts have discerned that the volatility of real
GDP estimates dropped sharply around 1984; since
then, volatility has remained relatively low. Volatility is
typically measured as the standard deviation of percent
changes at an annual rate.8
The smoothness or standard deviations of four vin­
tages of quarterly estimates of real GDP for 1978-84
and 1985-2002 are analyzed.9 For all four vintages, the

not pass tests for normality, with a sample size o f 80 observations, t-test sta­
tistics are reasonably robust even in the absence o f normality. For the four
current-dollar com ponents that were not tested, none had t-statistics as
large as 1.99, the critical value for statistically significant values that differ
from 0 with p = .0 5 . Thus, it may be reasonably concluded that their means
are not statistically significantly different from zero.

(2003), Kim, Nelson, and Piger (2001), and Stock and Watson (2002).

1978-84, and they are about three-fifths as large as
in 1985-2002. Thus, the coefficients of variation in
1978-84 show less improvement in smoothness than
in 1985-2002.
The ratio of standard deviations of the revisions of
the four vintages of real GDP estimates in 1985-2002
are smaller than those in 1978-84. In line with the
findings on mean absolute revisions shown in table 1,
no particular trends in the standard deviations are
shown when the vintages of the estimates progress
from advance estimates to final estimates.
If the volatility of the revisions declines in line with
the volatility of the estimates, the ratios of the standard
deviations of the revisions to the standard deviation of
the estimates would be about the same in both periods.
Instead, the ratios in 1985-2002 are considerably
higher than in 1978-84. Thus, the reductions in the
volatility of the estimates are not fully mirrored in the
reductions in the revisions.
In sum, the volatility of real GDP has been lower
since 1984, regardless of the vintage of the estimates.
The volatility of the revisions has also been lower, but
not by nearly as much, and the declines in volatility are
roughly in line with those found for the coefficients of
variation. Because all of the latest estimates through
1997 have been benchmarked to the benchmark inputoutput accounts, future revisions are unlikely to re­
verse this finding.

Reliability at cyclical turning points
For economic policymakers and business analysts, ac­
curate measurements of the changes in real GDP are
particularly important around cyclical peaks and
troughs.
A previous BEA study found that the advance, pre­
liminary, and final quarterly estimates have correctly
captured the cyclical peaks in four of the five recessions
in 1969-91 (Grimm and Parker 1998, 12). As a result
of the 2003 comprehensive NIPA revision, the quar­
terly estimates are now found to correctly capture the
cyclical peaks in all five recessions (table 5). This study
also found that about half of the five cyclical troughs
were correctly captured by the quarterly estimates, and
this finding was unchanged by the comprehensive revi­
sion.
Determining the peaks and troughs of the 2001 re­
cession is more complex. The dating committee at the
National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), using
monthly data that differ from the data used in the esti­
mates of real GDP, has determined that the peak was in
March 2001 and that the trough was in November
2001. However, the final quarterly estimates of real
GDP indicated that real GDP declined only in the third
quarter of 2001.

S u r v e y o f C u r r e n t B u s in e s s

The latest estimates, which include the 2003 com­
prehensive NIPA revision and the 2004 annual revi­
sion, indicate a more complex pattern of movements:
Real GDP decreased in the third quarter of 2000 and in
the first and third quarters of 2001, and it increased
in the fourth quarter of 2000 and in the second
quarter of 2001 (chart 1). The NBER dating committee

Chart 1. Percent Change in Real GDP

determined that the trough was in November 2001, so
on a quarterly basis, the third quarter of 2001 is indeed
the quarterly trough of real GDP. However, it is unclear
in which quarter GDP peaked. Even though real GDP
decreased in two of the three quarters before the sec­
ond quarter of 2001, it is higher in the second quarter
than in any previous quarter.
If the peak were in the second quarter of 2001, then
the peak and trough quarters shown in the final esti­
mates are the same as those in the latest estimates. The

shape of the trajectory of the economy is more easily
observed by taking three-quarter centered, moving av­
erages. Both the final estimates and latest estimates in­
dicate a retreat in the growth rates of real GDP from
high values in the second quarter of 2000 to lowest and
negative values in the third quarter o f 2001, and the re­
treat was followed by a recovery (chart 2). The ampli-

penditures among the quarters of the years.
Like the mean absolute revisions for the quarterly
estimates, the mean absolute revisions for the annual
estimates of real GDP and most of its major compo­
nents are slightly larger than those for current-dollar
GDP and its major components.
Except for the mean absolute revisions for PCE, the
revisions for current-dollar and real GDP are smaller
than those for their major components. Among the
components, PCE has the smallest mean absolute revi­
sions, and Federal nondefense expenditures has the
largest (reflecting the changes in treatment of the CCC
commodity loan program).
The mean revisions for current-dollar and real GDP
and for most of their major components are similar to
those for the current quarterly estimates. The mean re­
visions for some of the annual vintages of investment
and for real imports are negative. Most of the other
mean revisions are positive, including those for the
second and third annual estimates of fixed investment
and its components.

3. Revisions to Estimates of GDI
The quarterly estimates

tude of quarter-to-quarter variations in growth rates is
greater for the latest estimates before the trough, and
the amplitude is greater for the final estimates after the
trough. Both the final estimates and latest estimates
show declines from high rates near the beginning of
2000 to low rates in mid-2001; growth rates increased
in the first half of 2002, and then in the second half of
2002, growth rates diminished.
The final estimates of GDP for the quarters around
the 2001 recession may be considered as being success­
ful in capturing the general movements in real GDP.

2. Revisions to Annual Estimates of GDP
The revisions to the annual estimates of current-dollar
and real GDP and their major components that are
shown in table 6 are much smaller than those to the
quarterly estimates of GDP in table 2. The size of the
mean absolute revisions tend to decrease as the annual
estimates are revised. For current-dollar and real GDP,
the largest decreases occur between the second and
third annual estimates; the next largest decreases are
those between the “sum of finals” and first annual revi­
sions.
These results partly reflect that annual estimates are
unaffected by revisions to seasonal adjustments that
affect the quarterly estimates or other allocations of ex­



As part of the 2003 comprehensive revision, a number
of revisions reflect new definitions and classifications
that affected income components; in particular, the
concept of national income was redefined. Net na­
tional factor income is essentially the same as the pre­
vious national income component.11
Advance estimates of GDI, net national factor in­
come, and some of its components are not published.
Additionally, preliminary estimates of net national fac­
tor income and most of its components for the fourth
quarters of each year have not been published since
1994, and as a result, the revisions for their prelimi­
nary estimates are not shown in table 7.
The mean absolute revisions for the final estimates
of GDI and net national factor income are similar to
those for current-dollar GDP (table 7). Among the
components of net national factor income, only com­
pensation of employees has mean absolute revisions
that are similar to those for most of the major compo­
nents of GDP. For the other components, the mean ab­
solute revisions are much larger, primarily reflecting
the limited availability of quarterly source data. For ex­
ample, corporate profits are estimated using sources
such as corporate financial statements; beginning with
the second annual revision estimates, tax return data
11.
Net national factor income equals the new definition o f national
income plus subsidies, less taxes on production and imports, “business cur­
rent transfer payments (net),” and current surplus o f government enter­
prises. National income is now net national product less the statistical
discrepancy.

are used for the estimates. The second annual revisions
of the quarterly estimates of the components incorpo­
rate the final revisions of some annual data. The large
mean absolute revisions for proprietors’ income reflect
typically large revisions to farm proprietors’ income;
the mean absolute revisions for nonfarm proprietors’
income are less than half as large as those for total pro­
prietors’ income.
Mean revisions for GDI, for net national factor in­
come, and for most vintages of compensation of em­
ployees are all positive, but less than 0.1 percentage
point. The revisions for most other GDI components
are similar to those for current-dollar major GDP
components; thus, the larger mean absolute revisions
do not translate into larger mean revisions.

Annual estimates
Like the quarterly estimates, the mean absolute revi­
sions for GDI and net national factor income are simi­
lar to those for current-dollar GDP (table 8). The
mean absolute revisions for compensation of employ­
ees are somewhat smaller than those for GDI and net
national factor income. The mean absolute revisions
for GDI and net national factor income are succes­
sively smaller from the “sum of finals” estimates to the
first annual revision estimates and then to the second
annual revision estimates. However, the mean absolute
revisions increase somewhat to the third annual revi­
sion estimates.
The mean revisions for GDI, net national factor in­
come, and their components are generally quite small
and are generally similar to the mean revisions for the
major components of GDP. Like GDP, the mean revi­
sions for all vintages of GDI and net national factor in­
come are positive.

about the product side of the NIPAs; and the final esti­
mates of net national factor income, which summarize
the available information about the income side of the
NIPAs.13
The coefficients for all three variables are statisti­
cally significant, and the equations explain about
one-fifth of the variance of the revisions (table 9). The
positive coefficient on the median forecast variable
suggests that professional forecasters used information
that is related to economic activity but that was not
13.
The Survey o f Professional Forecasters, which is the oldest quarterly
survey o f m acroeconom ic forecasts in the United States, was begun in 1968
by the American Statistical Association and the National Bureau o f Eco­
nom ic Research. The survey has been conducted by the Federal Reserve
Bank o f Philadelphia since 1990. The forecasts underlying the survey esti­
mates are typically made following the release o f advance estimates for the
preceding quarter; thus, they incorporate inform ation available at about
the middle o f the initial quarter being forecasted.

sures activity as the sum of final sales and change in
private inventories. GDI measures activity as the sum
of income generated in the production process.12
To explore whether contemporaneously available
information helps explain revisions from the final cur­
rent quarterly estimates to the latest estimates, the re­
visions for current-dollar GDP were regressed on the

used in the preparation of the final estimates. The neg­
ative coefficient on the final GDP estimate is consistent
with a tendency to revise early estimates toward aver­
age values.14 The positive coefficient on the final esti­
mate of net national factor income is consistent with
the hypothesis that the income-side estimates contain
information that is significant in explaining revisions
to GDP.15
The results of a regression that estimates revisions
from the final estimates to the latest estimates of final
sales, which is defined as GDP less change in private
inventories, are also shown in table 9. Nearly onefourth of the variance of the revisions is explained by
the equation. Both the estimates of final sales and of
net national factor income are significant, but the signs
of their coefficients are the opposite of those expected.
The negative coefficient for net national factor income
appears to capture the impact of revisions to change in
private inventories, which is not included in final sales.
In addition, a first order autoregressive correction is
significant, at a p value of .01; its negative sign indi­
cates that it is correcting for negative serial correlation.
The regressions equations that estimate revisions
from the final estimates to the latest estimates of gross
domestic income and of net national factor income
find that final estimates of final sales are statistically
significant, but they explain less than one-tenth of the
variances. In both equations, the coefficient of the final
estimate of final sales is statistically significant, with
positive coefficients that indicate that the product-side
estimate contains information that is significant in ex­
plaining revisions to the income-side measures. The fi­
nal estimate of GDI has a negative coefficient in the
GDI revisions equation, which is consistent with a ten­
dency to revise early estimates toward average values.
The final estimate of net national factor income has a
negative coefficient in the equation, but its t-test
statistic falls a bit short of statistical significance at the
p = .05 level. Alternative versions of the first, third, and
fourth equations— that include first-order autoregres­
sive corrections— found that the corrections were not
statistically significant.
Thus, the regressions show two general tendencies.
First, early-vintage estimates tend to be revised toward
long-run averages. Second, the estimates of incomeside economic activity contain information about the
product side that is not embodied in the product-side
14. It is consistent because the equation can be renormalized to include
the difference between the final GDP estimate and the long-run average of
GDP; only the constant term is affected. I f GDP is higher than its long-term
average, the negative coefficient will lower the estimated value o f the revi­
sion, and conversely.

estimates; the same is true about information in the
pro duct-side estimates versus the contemporaneously
available income-side estimates, but less strongly so.

5. The Statistical Discrepancy
In principle, GDP and GDI should be equal. However,
they usually differ because they rely on different source
data that are not necessarily compatible. The statistical
discrepancy is defined as the difference between GDP
and GDI. The statistical discrepancy may be regarded
as the net sum of offsetting, unknown, measurement
errors. For example, if the output of drycleaning and
laundry services is measured in a Census Bureau sur­
vey, and the income for this activity is measured in IRS
income tax documents, a discrepancy might arise. This
is true of many income-side and product-side mea­
sures.16
In theory, an econometric analysis should be able to
determine which income-side and product-side mea­
sures have the greatest ability to explain the statistical
discrepancy. In practice, most major GDP components
are highly correlated with one another, and most ma­
jor GDI components are only slightly less highly corre­
lated with one another. All of the measures are
considerably less correlated with the statistical discrep­
ancy.17
As a result of the correlations among GDP and GDI
components, the principal contributors to the statisti­
cal discrepancy are difficult to identify. Revisions to
each component of GDP and of GDI will pass through
one-for-one to the statistical discrepancy, but the ef­
fects of the revisions partly offset one another, and
multicollinearity is again a substantial problem.
BEA’s statistical findings about the relationships be­
tween the movements in the statistical discrepancy and
those in GDP and GDI components have been incon­
clusive. Research on the statistical discrepancy and re­
lated topics is continuing at BEA.
For the latest annual estimates, the statistical dis­
crepancy has large positive values in 1989-97; it dips
16. Some analysts have advocated using weighted averages o f GDP and
GDI to approximate the true size o f econom ic activity; see Weale (1992),
Howrey (2003), and Fixler and Nalewaik (2004). The first two papers
implicitly assume that the differences between the two measures and the
true size o f econom ic activity is “noise,” or completely uncorrelated with
the true state o f the economy. The third paper assumes that the differences
are “news,” or perfectly correlated with the true state o f the economy.
17. According to a study o f the statistical discrepancy in 1 9 47-97 by Klein
and Makino (2000), the discrepancy was statistically significant in explain­
ing its values four quarters later, and after the discrepancy was adjusted to
remove trends, the sum o f corporate profits and proprietors’ income,
exports, and government consum ption expenditures were statistically sig­
nificant in explaining the statistical discrepancy. Replication o f their work
by BEA for 1983-2002 and using data from the 2003 comprehensive NIPA
revision found that none o f the explanatory measures were statistically sig­
nificant and that the four-quarter-lag effects o f the discrepancy were also
not significant.

18

Reliability of the NIPA Estimates

sharply to negative values in 1998, and then it recovers
to a near-zero value in 2002 (chart 3).
Annual data should be used to study the statistical
discrepancy and revisions to it; if quarterly data are
used, two factors act to obscure the relationships be­
tween the statistical discrepancy and the income-side
and product-side components:
• Seasonal adjustments. Although these adjustments
remove regular fluctuations from seasonally unad­
justed source data, the adjustments are not made in
lockstep, and the adjustment process includes some
judgments that might not be the same for related
income-side and product-side measures.
• Interpolation and extrapolation. The use of meth­
odologies to interpolate or to extrapolate quarterly
estimates by less-than-perfect indicator series may
lead to incompatible quarterly estimates for
income-side and product-side components. In
addition, revisions to the indicator series or the use
of different indicator series in later estimates may
lead to revisions to the estimates of the statistical
discrepancy.

Com prehensive revisions and statistical discrep­
ancies
The comprehensive revisions to the NIPAs feature two
types of revisions: Revisions that reflect new defini­
tions or classifications and revisions that reflect new
statistical methodologies. In addition, new or newly
available source data are incorporated into the esti­
mates when possible, and the estimates are benchmarked to the most recent benchmark input-output
accounts.
The revisions due to new definitions are designed to




February 2005

contain offsetting amounts on the income side and the
product side, and these revisions do not affect the sta­
tistical discrepancy. For example, the changed treat­
ments of banking and insurance services as part of the
2003 comprehensive revision had offsetting effects on
GDP and GDI (Seskin and Larkins 2004, 9).
The changes in statistical methodology and the in­
corporation of newly available data can have substan­
tial and differing effects on GDP and GDI.
The total revisions to GDP are relatively small, but
they contain substantial year-to-year variation (chart
4). The total changes to GDI are generally negative,
and they are relatively large in the middle of the pe­
riod. The revisions to the statistical discrepancy are
equal to the revisions to GDP less those to GDI; these
revisions are relatively small near the end of the period,
and they are large and positive in the middle of the pe­
riod.

6. Conclusions
The results of this study are generally consistent with
those of previous BEA studies:
• The estimates of GDP and GDI are reliable; the
mean absolute revisions for the quarterly estimates
of both measures are slightly more than 1 percent­
age point, and the mean absolute revisions for the
annual estimates are about half the size of those for
the quarterly estimates.
• The mean revisions for GDP and GDI are positive,
primarily as a result of improvements in the mea­
sures of economic activity and expansions of the
definition of economic activity that have been
introduced in comprehensive NIPA revisions in

Chart 4. Revisions to GDP, GDI, and the Statistical

S u r v e y o f C u r r e n t B u s in e s s

order to adapt GDP and GDI to a changing econ­
omy.
•The quarterly estimates are reliable indicators of
whether the economy is growing at rates above,
near, or below the long-term trend.
• For the annual estimates, the mean absolute revi­
sions from the “sum of finals” estimates to the first
annual revisions are substantially reduced. The
mean absolute revisions are also substantially
reduced between the first and second annual revi­
sion estimates and between the second and third
annual revision estimates.
• The quarterly estimates of real GDP have accu­
rately portrayed the peaks in five of the last six
recessions. They also accurately portrayed the
troughs of four of the last six recessions, but they
were late by one quarter for the other two reces­
sions.
•The mean revisions for the quarterly estimates of
current-dollar and real GDP are not statistically sig­
nificant; similarly, where it is possible to test, the

19

mean revisions for most of the major components
are not statistically significant. The revisions from
the final quarterly estimates to the latest estimates
of current-dollar GDP, of final sales, of GDI, and of
net national factor income are partly explained by
contemporaneously available information. In addi­
tion, for net national factor income, the final quar­
terly estimates contain significant information
about revisions to the final estimates of GDP and of
final sales.
Changes in statistical methodologies as part of com­
prehensive NIPA revisions and source data can signifi­
cantly affect the estimates of the statistical discrepancy.
Changes in definitions, however, do not result in
changes, because these revisions are designed to have
the same effects on both the income-side estimates and
the product-side estimates of economic activity. Revi­
sions to the estimates of the components of GDP and
GDI significantly affect the statistical discrepancy, but
multicollinearity obscures the information that can be
gleaned from statistical studies.

Hedonic Price Indexes for Digital Cameras
By Kari Manninen
CONOMISTS generally agree that changes in the
quality of products should be considered when
price indexes are compiled. However, economists tend
to disagree on which method or combination of meth­
ods can best account for quality changes, especially of
rapidly changing, high-technology products.
Hedonic methods basically attempt to derive or to
adjust price indexes with regression-driven methods
that relate a product’s price to its features. Applying
hedonic approaches to digital cameras, for example,
entails calculating price estimates based on the number
of pixels, storage capacity, manufacturer, resolution
options, size of camera and other quality characteris­
tics. (See the box “What Does ‘Hedonic’ mean?”)
Since hedonic approaches were introduced in the
early 1960s, they have generated a large body of schol­
arly literature and, over the past decade, have become
an accepted and even integral tool for U.S. statistical
agencies.1 The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA)
uses hedonically adjusted price indexes to deflate 22
percent of the final expenditures captured by gross do­
mestic product. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
uses hedonic adjustments for high-tech items and ap­
pliances, which account for about 1 percent of the
Consumer Price index. BLS also uses hedonic adjust­
ments to reduce the effects of aging in housing units
and to make price comparisons among apparel items
easier.
While other economists have explored hedonically
adjusted price indexes for a host of high-technology

ments in Price Indexes: S pecial A pplication to In form ation Technology P rod­
ucts (W ashington, DC: Brookings Institution, July 2004).

K ari M anninen, Senior Statistician a t Statistics Finland,
visited the B ureau o f E conom ic Analysis in 2002-2003.
D uring his visit, h e conducted a study o f the quality
adjustm ent o f a p rice index fo r digital cam eras. His

products, such as computers and camcorders, this ap­
pears to be the first case study of digital cameras.
Specifically, six well-known techniques— conven­
tional and hedonic— were used to calculate price in­
dexes for digital cameras for 1998-2002. By comparing
these methods, two main conclusions emerged:
• The quality adjustment techniques explored in the
study, including three hedonic techniques and the
conventional matched model-method, deliver simi­
lar results.
• Hedonic methods offer a practical and accurate tool
for statistical agencies that aim to produce price

W hat Does “Hedonic” Mean?
The term “hedonic” refers to a relation between the
prices of different varieties of a product and their
quality characteristics. The relation is typically esti­
mated by regression analysis.
In the case of digital cameras, hedonic-based adjust­
ments would require a function that estimates the
prices of camera based on various “quality” measures:
Price=f(pixels, storage size, manufacturer, size, etc.)
Hedonic formulas can be used in several ways to
create quality-adjusted price indexes. The most com­
mon method is a composite method that combines
conventional price indexes, notably the matched
model, with hedonic techniques that are used to fill
gaps in price data coverage.
Some government indexes are calculated solely
from hedonic functions. Examples include the Census
Bureau’s single-family house price index and BEA’s
multifamily house price indexes. The Federal Reserve
Board’s indexes for LAN routers and switches are cal­
culated based on the coefficients of dummy variables.1
The BLS CPIs for rent and owners’ equivalent rent use
hedonically derived coefficients to adjust price
changes for the increased age of the units.

indexes for rapidly changing, high-technology
goods. In some cases, hedonic measures may be
preferable to other methods.
The rest of this article is divided into two sections.
The first describes each of six digital camera price in­
dex calculations explored in the study and the results
when calculating digital camera price indexes. The sec­
ond section discusses the author’s conclusions in more
detail.

Q uality A d ju stm en t M ethods
To develop an accurate quality-adjusted price index,
the author first had to document the improvements
that were taking place in the quality of digital cameras.
The study could not account for every characteristic of
digital cameras, only the basics, such as manufacturer,
number of megapixels, amount of memory, scale of
optical and magnification.2 (For a more detailed look
at how data for this study were developed, see the box
“Source of Data.”)
In 1998-2001, the average values of select quality
measures generally rose. Over the same period, average
digital camera prices without adjustments for quality
held steady for about 3 years and then substantially
dropped (chart 1).
To analyze the phenomena of flat or declining digi-

23

tal camera prices in concert with rising quality indexes,
six methods were explored:
• Grand unit value method
• Class unit value method
• Matched-model method
• Time dummy pooled regression method
• Time dummy two-period regression method
• Full hedonic regression method
Of these six methods, the first method does not ex­
plicitly account for quality changes, the second and
third are considered conventional methods of account­
ing for quality changes, and the last three are hedonic
methods.

Grand unit value method

2. Ideally, statistically valuable explanatory “characteristics” for hedonic
regression would offer great variability both over tim e and within each time
period. Ideally, they would be correlated with the price but not closely with
each other to avoid colinearity issues. The author collected data on the fol­
lowing: Megapixels, megabytes, movie feature, remote control, external
flash, m anual focus, optical zoom, digital zoom, USB connection, serial
connection, battery charger, type o f camera, various resolution options,
ISO, manufacturer.

This method provides a basic price index calculation
that is useful for comparisons with price indexes de­
rived by other methods. The index is created by simply
dividing the average (geometric) price of all products
in the sample by the average price in the preceding pe­
riod.
The only way that this method could account for
quality would be if all the products in the sample of­
fered an identical set of features. If the features were
exactly the same for all the products in the sample, this
method would be identical to the so-called matched
model, which remains the most widely used method of
accounting for quality (see also the section on matched
models).
The price index calculated with the grand unit value
method shows that the average price of digital cameras
remained steady until roughly the middle of 2001 and
then fell steadily (chart 2).

Class unit value method
This method accounts for quality differences by group­
ing cameras into separate classes based on their fea­
tures and then by calculating separate price indexes for
each class. Three classes were created: The first class
was based on manufacturer; the second was based on
manufacturer and the number of pixels; and the third
was based on manufacturer, the number of pixels, and
whether the camera had a manual focus feature.
All three price indexes showed declines. The price
index for the first class declined more slowly than the
other two, while the price index for the third class
showed the least volatile changes (chart 3).

quarters, and only 52 models had prices observations
for more than six quarters.
For statisticians, high rates of products leaving or
entering the sample raise questions about how well the
sample reflects the population. Despite this limitation,
a matched-model price index was calculated. It con­
firmed the downward trend of prices shown by the
other indexes, but it declined more than the grand unit
value index (chart 4).

Chart 4. Matched-Model and Grand Unit Value

Time dummy pooled hedonic regression
method
Matched-model method
This method, perhaps the most common method of
accounting for quality, has long been used by various
statistical agencies. The matched-model method con­
trols for quality by evaluating prices of products that
offer identical features. For digital cameras, this
method requires creating a class of products with the
same amount of memory, the same manufacturer, the
same amount of pixels, and so on.
This method is difficult to use in practice, especially
for products that have rapidly changing features, such
as high-technology products.3 The difficulty was evi­
dent in the data collected for the study. For nearly all of
the 288 models in the data set, there were observations
for at least two quarters, but there were only 167 mod­
els that had price observations for more than four
3. In practice, statistical agencies often use the m atched-model m ethod to
calculate an index when a full set o f data is available. Hedonic methods are
used as a supplement to estimate prices when many values are missing
because o f new or retiring models.




Time dummy methods, which are explored in the next
two sections, are among the most widely used hedonic
methods. Typically, they require regressing a product’s
price on various measures of quality, often the natural
logarithms of quantitative variables and some dummy
variables.4
To explore time dummy methods, the author con­
structed price indexes for cameras based on four
classes of quality measures. The four classes can be
described as follows:
• Class 1 consists of manual focus (whether the cam­
era offered this feature) and the number of mega­
pixels.
• Class 2 consists of manual focus, the number of
megapixels, and the number of megabytes.
• Class 3 consists of manual focus, the number of
megapixels, and optical zoom (whether it was
offered).
4. D um m y variables typically are zero or one depending on the absence or
presence o f a specific feature.

• Class 4 consists of manual focus, the number of
megapixels, and optical zoom, the number of mega­
bytes and external flash (whether it was offered).
For the time dummy pooled regression method,
prices were calculated based on changes in the quality
indexes over 5 years. All four regressions show similar
price trends (chart 5). They also show that adding
more quality features as explanatory variables only
modestly improved the fit of the model. In classes 2
and 4, including the number of megabytes as an ex­
planatory variable resulted in slightly lower estimates
in the last few quarters.

Time dummy two-period hedonic regression
method
For this method, regressions are performed only for
consecutive periods. The two-period results are then
linked to form a price index. This approach re­
quires much more computation. The author’s data
set included 20 periods, requiring 19 regressions
(one for each set of consecutive periods) instead of
just 1.
The benefit o f this method is that it allows for more
flexibility; the coefficients of each quality indicator can
vary over time, which may be more realistic than as­
suming that they remain constant.
The author applied this approach to classes 1 and 3
from the previous section. A comparison of the
classes calculated in the previous section and this
section shows again that the differences are small
(chart 6).

Chart 6. Pooled and Two-Period Regression Indexes

This method has several benefits. For one thing, the
computation is relatively simple. For another thing,
unmatched observations do not have to be discarded.
In general, this method would likely be particularly
useful when the coefficients of the quality measures are
relatively stable.
However, over long periods, the linear nature of
these regressions could present drawbacks. A long
time series approach basically assumes that the effect
of each variable remains constant over time— which
may not be realistic. Sudden changes in coefficients
may go unnoticed if a large number of periods were
used.
In addition, the quality correction factor is the same
for all observations at the magnitude given by the time
indicator coefficient, something that may make this
method unsuitable as a supplement to a matchedmodel index.




U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis

Full hedonic method
Another way to capture quality changes would be to
use hedonic measures to help create a full set of price
data that can be used to create standard price indexes.
For classes 1 and 3, the author performed separate re­
gressions for each of the 20 quarters. Based on those
regressions, estimates for all missing price observations
were calculated and added to the data set. This com­
plete set of data was then used to derive price indexes
for consecutive periods using Laspeyres, Paasche,

26

Research Spotlight

Fisher, and Tornqvist index formulas.5
The Tornqvist results show that the differences in
the quality-adjusted price indexes are minor (chart
7). Moreover, the quality correction factors between
the two models differed at most by about 8 percent.6
In addition, when the matched-model index (chart
4) is compared with the hedonically derived class 1
and 3 indexes, the differences are small. However,
some of the hedonic indexes declined slightly faster.

5. The Tornqvist index formulas is calculated as a geom etric mean with
average expenditure shares as weights, and it behaves very similarly to the
Fisher index formula used by BEA.
6. Total quality correction factors are defined as the difference between
quality adjusted index and the grand unit value index.

Comparisons with BLS indexes
The results of the two-period index for class 4 (rescaled
to 1998=100) was compared with the BLS index for
personal computers and photographic equipment. The
author chose the computer index mainly because it in­
corporates hedonic methods, though not the methods
investigated in this article. The photographic equip­
ment index was chosen because it was generally com­
parable with the digital camera indexes constructed in
the study.
Neither BLS index corresponds perfectly to the digi­
tal camera price indexes, but the results were similar.
The personal computer price index and the class 4
index tracked especially closely (chart 8).

C on clusion s
All five broad quality-adjustment methods provided
similar results: All five did a reasonably good job of ac­
counting for changes in quality. Specifically, the price
estimates delivered by regression models with only a
few quality variables were not meaningfully improved
when additional variables were added.
For statistical agencies, these conclusions have prac­
tical implications. For one thing, relatively simple he­
donic methods may be sufficient to accurately control
for the quality of products, even high-tech products
with rapidly changing features, and additional, largescale data collection may not be necessary for sound
hedonic adjustment. As Pakes noted, the matchedmodel approach requires much of the same data about
quality characteristics as simple regression models.7 In
practice, agencies relying on the matched-model
method will likely have already collected a sufficient
amount of data on characteristics. These data could be
used for simple regression models similar to ones used
by the author. Statistical agencies thus could soundly
adjust for quality without significantly raising sam­
pling requirements and costs.
The study also suggests that simple hedonic mea­
sures can be used to supplement the conventional
matched model. Even when constructing indexes for
high-technology goods, which tend to change rapidly,

an Application to PC’s,” A m erican E conom ic R eview (Decem ber 2003):
1578-1596.




hedonic techniques can be used to determine reason­
able prices estimates that can be used to complete data
sets, providing a way to overcome missing observa­
tions.

Source of Data
To test different quality adjustment methods, the
author compiled a quarterly digital camera database
that included roughly 1,200 prices from over 250 dif­
ferent digital camera models for 1998-2002.
The price data were gleaned from various sources.
Before the third quarter of 2002, all prices quoted
for the models advertised in the Journal of Popular
Photography were recorded. For some advertised mod­
els, no price was available, as readers were told to
call for the price. Prices for the third quarter and
fourth quarter of 2002 were gathered from
< www.pricescan.com>.
Gathering prices from < www.pricescan.com> may
have introduced a downward bias into the data. The
prices reported are usually the “best price” advertised
by several online retailers and do not include shipping
charges.
The quality characteristics were compiled from
<www.dpreviw.com>. Most of the makes and models
were included in the sample; models were included
when they were first advertised. Overall, no attempt
was made to track a fixed sample of models.

N ote. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights
of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the differ­
ence between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

N ote. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights
of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line following
change in private inventories is the difference between gross domestic product and the sum of final sales of domestic product
and of change in private inventories; the residual line following structures is the difference between gross domestic product
and the sum of the detailed lines of goods, of services, and of structures.

Note. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights
of more than one period, the corresponding chained- dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the differ­
ence between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

1. Excludes software “embedded,” or bundled, in computers and other equipment.




1. The quantity index for computers can be used to accurately measure the real growth of this component. However,
because computers exhibit rapid changes 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; accurate estimates of these contributions are shown in table 1.5.2 and real growth rates are shown in table 1.5.1,
2. Excludes software “embedded,” or bundled, in computers and other equipment.
The residual line is the difference between the first
and the sum of the most detailed lines.

Note. Except as noted in footnotes 1, 2 and 3, chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type
quantity index and the 2000 current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the

chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not
additive.

1. Estimates for financial corporate business and nonfinancial corporate business for 2000 and earlier periods are based on the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC); later estimates for these industries are
based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
2. Effective December 22, 2004, chained-dollar gross value added of nonfinancial corporate business was revised beginning with 1929. The current-dollar gross value added is deflated by a revised chain-type price
index calculated using the gross value added chain-type price index for nonfinancial industries from the comprehensive revision of the GDP-by-industry accounts.
3. Chained-dollar consumption of fixed capital of nonfinancial corporate business is calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by
100.
4. Chained-dollar net value added of nonfinancial corporate business is the difference between the gross product and the consumption of fixed capital.

Note. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights
of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the differ­
ence between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

N ote. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights
of more than one period, the corresponding chained-doliar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the differ­
ence between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

1. Government consumption expenditures are services (such as education and national defense) produced by government that are valued at their cost of production. Excludes government sales to other sectors and
government own-account investment (construction and software).
2. Consumption of fixed capital, or depreciation, is included in government gross output as a partial measure of the services of general government fixed assets; the use of depreciation assumes a zero net return on
these assets.
3. Includes general government intermediate inputs for goods and services sold to other sectors and for own-account investment.
4. Own-account investment is measured in current dollars by compensation of general government employees and related expenditures for goods and services and is classified as investment in structures and in soft­
ware in table 3.9.5.

1. Government consumption expenditures are services (such as education and national defense) produced by government that are valued at their cost of production. Excludes government sales to other sectors and
government own-account investment (construction and software).
2. Consumption of fixed capital, or depreciation, is included in government gross output as a partial measure of the services of general government fixed assets; the use of depreciation assumes a zero net return on
these assets.
3. Includes general government intermediate inputs for goods and services sold to other sectors and for own-account investment.
4. Own-account investment is measured in current dollars by compensation of general government employees and related expenditures for goods and services and is classified as investment in structures and in
software in table 3.9.5.
Note. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type
quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed
lines.

N ote. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights
of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the differ­
ence between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

1. Exports and imports of certain goods, primarily military equipment purchased and sold by the Federal Government, are
included in services. Beginning with 1986, repairs and alterations of equipment are reclassified from goods to services.
2. The quantity index for computers can be used to accurately measure the real growth of this component. However,
because computers exhibit rapid changes 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; accurate estimates of these contributions are shown in table 4.2.2. and real growth rates are shown in table 4.2.1.
3. Includes parts of foods, feeds, and beverages, of nondurable industrial supplies and materials, and of nondurable nonau­
tomotive consumer goods.
Note. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights
of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. For exports and for imports, the
residual line is the difference between the aggregate line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

1. Consists primarily of religious, educational, vocational, lodging, railroads, farm, and amusement and recreational struc­
tures, net purchases of used structures, and brokers' commissions on the sale of structures.
2. The quantity index for computers can be used to accurately measure the real growth rate of this component. However,
because computers exhibit rapid changes 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;
accurate estimates of these contributions are shown in table 5.3.2 and real growth rates are shown in table 5.3.1.
3. Excludes software “embedded,” or bundled, in computers and other equipment.
4. Includes communication equipment, nonmedical instruments, medical equipment and instruments, photocopy and
related equipment, and office and accounting equipment.
5. Consists primarily of furniture and fixtures, agricultural machinery, construction machinery, mining and oilfield machinery,
service industry machinery, and electrical equipment not elsewhere classified.
6. Consists primarily of manufactured homes, improvements, dormitories, net purchases of used structures, and brokers'
commissions on the sale of residential structures.
7. Excludes net purchases of used structures and brokers’ commissions on the sale of structures.
Note. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 current-dollar
value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of
more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the difference
between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

1. This series is derived from the Census Bureau series “current cost inventories.”
2. The inventory valuation adjustment (IVA) shown in this table differs from the IVA that adjusts business incomes. The IVA
in this table reflects the mix of methods (such as first-in, first-out and last-in, first-out) underlying inventories derived primarily
from Census Bureau statistics (see footnote 1). This mix differs from that underlying business income derived primarily from
Internal Revenue Service statistics.
Note. Estimates in this table are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Note. Estimates in this table are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
Chained (2000) dollar series for real change in private inventories are calculated as the period-to-period change in
chained-dollar end-of-period inventories. Quarterly changes in end-of-period inventories are stated at annual rates. Because
the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar esti­
mates are usually not additive. The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter change in inventories calculated from current-dollar
inventories in this table is not the current-dollar change in private inventories component of GDR The former is the difference
between two inventory stocks, each valued at its respective end-of-quarter prices. The latter is the change in the physical
volume of inventories valued at average prices of the quarter. In addition, changes calculated from this table are at quarterly
rates, whereas, the change in private inventories is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Final sales of domestic business equals final sales of domestic product less gross
value added of households and institutions and of general government, and it includes a small amount of final sales by farm
and by government enterprises.

1. Inventories are as of the end of the quarter. The quarter-to-quarter changes calculated from this table are at quarterly
rates, whereas the change in private inventories component of GDP is stated at annual rates.
2. Quarterly totals at monthly rates. Final sales of domestic business equals final sales of domestic product less gross
value added of households and institutions and of general government, and it includes a small amount of final sales by farm
and by government enterprises.
N ote. Estimates in this table are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
Chained (2000) dollar inventory series are calculated to ensure that the chained (2000) dollar change in inventories for
2000 equals the current-dollar change in inventories for 2000 and that the average of the 1999 and 2000 end-of-year chainweighted and fixed-weighted inventories are equal.

N ote. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights
of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The residual line is the differ­
ence between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines, excluding the lines in the addenda.

1. Chained (2000) dollar series are calculated as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 2000 currentdollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses
weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive. The value of not
allocated by industry reflects the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines, as well as the
differences in source data used to estimate GDP by industry and the expenditures measure of real GDP.

1. Per capita personal income was computed using Census Bureau midyear population estimates.
2. Percent change calculated from unrounded data.

estimate of personal income in the national income and product accounts (NIPAs) because of differences in coverage, in the
methodologies used to prepare the estimates, and in the timing of the availability of source data. In particular, it differs from
the NIPA estimate because, by definition, it omits the earnings of Federal civilian and military personnel stationed abroad and

Additional Information About the NIPA Estimates
S tatistical C o n ven tio n s
Current-dollar GDP is a measure of the market value
of goods, services, and structures that are produced in
the economy in a particular period. The changes in cur­
rent-dollar GDP can be decomposed into quantity and
price components. Quantities, or “real” measures, and
prices are expressed as index numbers with the reference
year— at present, the year 2000— equal to 100.1
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 for 2001-2002 uses prices for 2001
and 2002 as weights, and the 2001-2002 annual percent
change in the GDP price index uses quantities for 2001
and 2002 as weights. Because the Fisher formula allows
for the effects of changes in relative prices and in the
composition 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
calculated using a fixed-weighted formula. These annual
changes are “chained” (multiplied) together to form time
series of quantity and price indexes. The percent changes
in the Fisher indexes are not affected by the choice of the
reference year.
BEA also publishes implicit price deflators (IPDs),
which are calculated as the ratio of the current-dollar
value of a component to the chained-dollar value of the
component, multiplied by 100. The values of an IPD are
very close to the values of the corresponding “chain-type”
price index.
The measures of real GDP and its major components
are also presented in dollar-denominated form, desig­
nated “chained (2000) dollar estimates.” For most series,
these estimates are computed by multiplying the cur­
rent-dollar value in 2000 by a corresponding quantity in­
dex number and then dividing by 100. For example, if a
current-dollar GDP component equaled $100 in 2000
and if real output for this component increased by 10
percent in 2001, then the chained (2000) dollar value of
this component in 2001 would be $110 ($100 x 1.10).
The percent changes calculated from the chained (2000)
dollar estimates and from the quantity indexes are the
same; any differences will be small and due to rounding.
The chained-dollar values for the detailed GDP com­
ponents will not necessarily sum to the chained-dollar es­
timate of GDP (or to any intermediate aggregate) in a
table, because the relative prices that are used as weights
for any period other than the reference year differ from
those of the reference year. A measure of the effect of such

differences is provided by a “residual” line— the differ­
ence between the chained-dollar value of the main aggre­
gate in the table and the sum of the most detailed
components in the table. For periods close to the refer­
ence year, when the relative prices that are used as weights
have usually not changed much, the residuals tend to be
small, and the chained-dollar estimates can be used to
approximate the contributions to growth and to aggre­
gate the detailed estimates. For periods further from the
reference year, the residuals tend to be larger, and the
chained-dollar estimates are less useful for analyses of
contributions to growth. In particular, for components
for which relative prices are changing rapidly, the calcula­
tion of contributions based on chained-dollar estimates
may be misleading even just a few years from the refer­
ence year. Thus, contributions derived from quantity in­
dexes provide a better measure than contributions
derived from chained-dollar estimates; contributions
based on quantity indexes are shown in selected NIPA ta­
bles 1.1.2, 1.2.2, 1.5.2, 2.3.2, 3.9.2, 4.2.2, and 5.3.2.
For quarters and months, NIPA estimates are pre­
sented at annual rates, which show the value that would
be registered if the rate of activity that is measured for a
quarter or for a month were maintained for a full year.
Annual rates are used so that periods of different
lengths— for example, quarters and years— may be more
easily compared. These annual rates are determined sim­
ply by multiplying the estimated rate of activity by 4 (for
quarterly data) or by 12 (for monthly data).
For most quarterly NIPA estimates, percent changes in
the estimates are also expressed at annual rates. Calculat­
ing these changes requires a variant of the compound in­
terest formula:
m /n

r —

-

]

- 1

x 100

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 ac­
tivity in the earlier period; m is the periodicity of the data
(for example, 1 for annual data, 4 for quarterly data, or 12
for monthly data); and n is the number of periods be­
tween the earlier periods and the later periods (that is,
t-0 ).
Quarterly and monthly NIPA estimates are seasonally
adjusted if necessary. Seasonal adjustment removes from
the time series the average effects 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

Suggested Reading
The Bureau o f Economic Analysis (BEA) has published
a wealth of information about the methodologies that
are used to prepare its national, industry, interna­
tional, and regional accounts. In addition, most of this
information is available on BEA’s Web site at
< www.bea.gov>. Look under “Methodologies”; for ar­
ticles from the S u r v e y o f C u r r e n t B u s i n e s s , look under
“Publications.”

N a tio n a l a c c o u n ts
The national accounts encompass the detailed esti­
mates in the national income and product accounts
(including gross domestic product) and the estimates
of wealth and related estimates.
National income and product accounts (NIPAs).
This series of papers documents the conceptual frame­
work of the NIPAs and the methodologies that have
been used to prepare the estimates.
