GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT: THIRD QUARTER 2001 (ADVANCE)
Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property
located in the United States -- decreased at an annual rate of 0.4 percent in the third quarter of 2001,
according to advance estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the second quarter, real
GDP increased 0.3 percent.
The Bureau emphasized that the third-quarter "advance" estimates are based on source data that are
incomplete or subject to further revision by the source agency (see the box on page 3). The third-quarter
"preliminary" estimates, based on more comprehensive data, will be released on November 30, 2001.
The major contributors to the decrease in real GDP in the third quarter were exports, equipment
and software, nonresidential structures, and private inventory investment. The negative contributions of
these components were largely offset by positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures
(PCE) and federal government spending. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP,
decreased sharply.
BOX
The national income and product accounts (NIPA's) show the composition of production and the
distribution of incomes earned in production; thus, the NIPA's include the economic effects of the
terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and of natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes.
Most of the effects of disasters on GDP and on other NIPA aggregates are reflected in the usual source
data, such as the Census Bureau's monthly data on retail sales. For certain components, however, BEA
prepares adjustments to account for the effects of a disaster not captured in the source data. Because
most of the effects of the terrorist attacks are embedded in the source data and cannot easily be separated
out, BEA will not attempt to quantify the total impact of the attacks on GDP or on other major
aggregates. Additional information is available in the Technical Note available on BEA's Web site at
<www.bea.doc.gov>.

OOTNOTE.--Quarterly estimates are expressed at seasonally adjusted annual rates, unless otherwise
specified. Quarter-to-quarter dollar changes are differences between these published estimates. Percent
changes are calculated from unrounded data and annualized. "Real" estimates are in chained (1996)
dollars. Price indexes are chain-type measures.
The downturn in real GDP growth in the third quarter primarily reflected decelerations in PCE and
in state and local government spending, a larger decrease in exports, and a deceleration in residential
fixed investment that were partly offset by a smaller decrease in equipment and software and an
acceleration in federal government spending. There was also a much larger decrease in imports in the
third quarter than in the second.
The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents,
decreased 0.3 percent in the third quarter, in contrast to an increase of 1.3 percent in the second.
Excluding food and energy prices, the price index for gross domestic purchases increased 0.4 percent in
the third quarter, compared with an increase of 0.9 percent in the second. The third-quarter downturn in
the price index also reflected a deceleration in PCE services prices associated with the treatment of
insurance payments resulting from the September 11 attacks. The increase in benefit payments is treated
as a reduction in the average net premiums paid for insurance services (see the Technical Note).
Real personal consumption expenditures increased 1.2 percent in the third quarter, compared with
an increase of 2.5 percent in the second. Durable goods purchases increased 1.7 percent, compared with
an increase of 7.0 percent. Nondurable goods increased 0.6 percent, compared with an increase of 0.3
percent. Services expenditures increased 1.4 percent, compared with an increase of 2.8 percent.
Real nonresidential fixed investment decreased 11.9 percent in the third quarter, compared with a
decrease of 14.6 percent in the second. Nonresidential structures decreased 12.1 percent, compared with
a decrease of 12.2 percent. Equipment and software decreased 11.8 percent, compared with a decrease
of 15.4 percent. Real residential fixed investment increased 1.9 percent, compared with an increase of
5.9 percent.
Real exports of goods and services decreased 16.6 percent in the third quarter, compared with a
decrease of 11.9 percent in the second. Real imports of goods and services decreased 15.2 percent,
compared with a decrease of 8.4 percent.
Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 4.6 percent in
the third quarter, compared with an increase of 1.8 percent in the second. National defense increased 5.0
percent, compared with an increase of 2.3 percent. Nondefense increased 3.9 percent, compared with an
increase of 0.9 percent. Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross investment
increased 0.4 percent, compared with an increase of 6.6 percent.
The real change in private inventories subtracted 0.37 percentage point from the third-quarter
change in real GDP, after subtracting 0.42 percentage point from the second-quarter change. Private
businesses reduced inventories $50.4 billion in the third quarter, following decreases of $38.3 billion in
the second quarter and $27.1 billion in the first.
Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- was unchanged in
the third quarter, compared with an increase of 0.7 percent in the second.
Gross domestic purchases
Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever
produced -- decreased 0.7 percent in the third quarter, in contrast to an increase of 0.4 percent in the
second.
Disposition of personal income
Current-dollar personal income increased $62.7 billion in the third quarter, compared with an
increase of $74.4 billion in the second. Personal tax and nontax payments decreased $154.4 billion, in
contrast to an increase of $6.2 billion. The sharp downturn in tax payments reflected tax refund checks
and reductions in various income tax rates associated with the Economic Growth and Tax Reconciliation
Act of 2001.
Disposable personal income -- personal income less personal tax and nontax payments -- increased
$217.1 billion in the third quarter, compared with an increase of $68.2 billion in the second. Real
disposable personal income increased 12.8 percent, compared with an increase of 2.4 percent.
Personal outlays increased $11.9 billion in the third quarter, compared with an increase of $65.5
billion in the second. Personal saving -- disposable personal income less personal outlays -- was $286.7
billion in the third quarter, compared with $81.5 billion in the second. The personal saving rate -- saving
as a percentage of disposable personal income -- increased from 1.1 percent in the second quarter to 3.8
percent in the third.
Current-dollar GDP
Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased 1.8
percent, or $45.1 billion, in the third quarter to a level of $10,247.7 billion. In the second quarter,
current-dollar GDP increased 2.4 percent, or $60.9 billion.

Next release -- November 30, 2001, at 8:30 A.M. EST for:
Gross Domestic Product: Third Quarter 2001 (Preliminary)
Corporate Profits: Third Quarter 2001
Comparisons of Revisions to GDP
Quarterly estimates of GDP are released on the following schedule: "Advance" estimates, based on
source data that are incomplete or subject to further revision by the source
agency, are released near the end of the first month after the end of
the quarter; as more detailed and more comprehensive data become available,
"preliminary" and "final" estimates are released near the end of the second and third months, respectively. The
"latest" estimates reflect the results of both annual and comprehensive revisions.
Annual revisions are usually carried out each summer and cover the quarters of the most recent calendar
year and of the 2 preceding years. Comprehensive (or benchmark) revisions are carried out at about 5-year
intervals and incorporate definitional and classificational changes that update the accounts to portray more
accurately the evolving U.S. economy and statistical changes that update the accounts to reflect the introduction of
new and improved methodologies and the incorporation of newly available and revised source data.
The table below shows comparisons of the revisions between quarterly percent changes of GDP for the
different vintages of the estimates. These comparisons can be used to assess the likely size of future revisions. For
example, two-thirds of the revisions between the quarterly change in the advance estimate of real GDP and that in
the final estimate were within a range of -0.6 to +0.9 percentage point. Thus, based on past history, the third-quarter change in
real GDP now estimated at -0.4 percent at an annual rate, is not likely to be revised below -1.0 percent or above 0.5 percent in the next two
releases.

Note.--Users are cautioned that particularly for components
for which relative prices are changing rapidly, the use of
chained-dollar estimates to calculate component shares or component
contributions to real growth may be misleading even just a few years
from the base year. For accurate estimates of the contributions to
percent changes in real GDP, use table 2.
See "Explanatory Note" at the end of the tables.

See "Explanatory Note" at the end of the tables.
Explanatory Note: Measures of Output and Prices
This note describes the calculation of chain-type quantity and price indexes used in the NIPA's.
Changes in current-dollar GDP measure changes in the market value of goods, services, and structures produced in the
economy in a particular period. These changes 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 1996--equal to
100.
The annual changes in quantities and prices are calculated using a Fisher formula that incorporates weights from two
adjacent years. (Quarterly changes in quantities and prices are calculated using a Fisher formula that incorporates weights
from two adjacent quarters; quarterly indexes are adjusted for consistency to the annual indexes before percent changes
are calculated.) For example, the 1999-2000 annual percent change in real GDP uses prices for 1999 and 2000 as weights,
and the 1999-2000 annual percent change in GDP prices uses quantities for 1999 and 2000 as weights. These annual
changes are "chained" (multiplied) together to form time series of quantity and price indexes. The Fisher formula
produces percent changes in quantities and prices that are not affected by the choice of reference years. In addition,
because the changes in quantities and prices calculated in this way are symmetric, in general, the product of a quantity
index and the corresponding price index equals the current-dollar index. (BEA also publishes a measure of the price level
known as the "implicit price deflator (IPD)," which is calculated as the ratio of current-dollar value to the corresponding
chained-dollar value, multiplied by 100. The values of the IPD are very close to the values of the corresponding
"chain-type" price index for all periods.)
Chain-type quantity and price indexes for GDP and its major components are presented in this release as index
numbers in table 5 and in the form of percentage changes from the preceding period in tables 1, 4, 6 and from the quarter
one year ago in table 7. Contributions by major components to changes in real GDP are presented in table 2. BEA also
prepares measures of real GDP and its components in a dollar-denominated form, designated "chained (1996) dollar
estimates." For GDP and most other series, these estimates, which are presented in table 3, are computed by multiplying
the 1996 current-dollar value by a corresponding quantity index number and then dividing by 100. For example, if a
current-dollar GDP component equaled $100 in 1996 and if real output for this component increased 10 percent in 1997,
then the chained (1996) dollar value of this component in 1997 would be $110 ($100 x 1.10).
For analyses of changes over time in an aggregate or in a component, the percentage changes calculated from the
chained-dollar estimates and from the chain-type quantity indexes are the same; any differences will be small and due to
rounding. However, because the relative prices used as weights for any period other than the reference year differ from
those used for the reference year, the chained-dollar values for the detailed GDP components will not necessarily sum to
the chained-dollar estimate of GDP or to any intermediate aggregate. A measure of the extent of such differences is
provided by a "residual" line, which indicates the difference between GDP (or another major aggregate) and the sum of
the most detailed components in the table. For periods close to the reference year, when there usually has not been much
change in the relative prices that are used as weights for the chain-type index, the residuals tend to be small, and the
chained (1996) dollar estimates can be used to approximate the contributions to growth and to aggregate the detailed
estimates. As one moves further from the reference year, the residual tends to become larger, and the chained-dollar
estimates become less useful for analyses of contributions to growth. Thus, the contributions to percent change shown in
table 2 provide a better measure of the composition of GDP growth. In particular, for components for which relative
prices are changing rapidly, calculation of contributions using chained-dollar estimates may be misleading even just a few
years from the reference year.
