               GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT:  THIRD QUARTER 2003 (PRELIMINARY)
               CORPORATE PROFITS:  THIRD QUARTER 2003 (PRELIMINARY)


    Real gross domestic product -- the output of goods and services produced by labor and property
located in the United States -- increased at an annual rate of 8.2 percent in the third quarter of 2003,
according to preliminary estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.  In the second quarter,
real GDP increased 3.3 percent. 

    The GDP estimates released today are based on more complete source data than were available for
the advance estimates issued last month.  In the advance estimates, the increase in real GDP was 7.2
percent (see "Revisions" on page 3).

    The major contributors to the increase in real GDP in the third quarter were personal consumption
expenditures (PCE), equipment and software, exports, and residential fixed investment.  Imports, which
are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.


BOX
          The Bureau of Economic Analysis plans to release the results of its 12th comprehensive (or   
benchmark) revision of the national income and product accounts (NIPAs) on December 10, 2003.  An
article in the June 2003 issue of the Survey of Current Business discussed the changes in definitions and
concepts that will be implemented in the revision; an article in the August 2003 issue described changes
in presentation, including new and redesigned tables; and an article in the September 2003 issue
described changes in statistical methods.  Information is available on BEA's Web site:
             www.bea.gov/national/cr2003content.htm



FOOTNOTE.--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.

              This news release is available on BEA's Web site at <www.bea.gov/newsreleases/rels.htm>.



    The acceleration in real GDP growth in the third quarter primarily reflected an acceleration in
PCE, an upturn in exports, a deceleration in imports, an upturn in private inventory investment, and
accelerations in equipment and software and in residential fixed investment that were partly offset by a
downturn in federal national defense spending.

    Final sales of computers contributed 0.52 percentage point to the third-quarter change in real GDP
after contributing 0.18 percentage point to the second-quarter change.  Motor vehicle output increased in 
the third quarter and decreased in the second.  Motor vehicle output contributed 1.19 percentage points
to the third-quarter change in real GDP after subtracting 0.11 percentage point from the second-quarter
change.

    The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents,
increased 1.8 percent in the third quarter, 0.1 percentage point less than the advance estimate; this index
increased 0.4 percent in the second quarter.  Excluding food and energy prices, the price index for gross
domestic purchases increased 1.4 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 0.8 percent
in the first.   

    Real personal consumption expenditures increased 6.4 percent in the third quarter, compared with
an increase of 3.8 percent in the second.  Real nonresidential fixed investment increased 14.0 percent,
compared with an increase of 7.3 percent.  Nonresidential structures increased 0.2 percent, compared
with an increase of 4.2 percent.  Equipment and software increased 18.4 percent, compared with an
increase of 8.3 percent.  Real residential fixed investment increased 22.7 percent, compared with an
increase of 6.6 percent.

    Real exports of goods and services increased 11.0 percent in the third quarter, in contrast to a
decrease of 1.0 percent in the second.  Real imports of goods and services increased 1.5 percent,
compared with an increase of 8.8 percent.

    Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment decreased 0.4 percent in
the third quarter, in contrast to an increase of 25.5 percent in the second.  National defense decreased 1.6
percent, in contrast to an increase of 45.8 percent.  Nondefense increased 2.2 percent, in contrast to a
decrease of 5.4 percent.  Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross
investment increased 2.3 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 0.2 percent.

    The real change in private inventories added 0.16  percentage point to the third-quarter change in
real GDP, after subtracting 0.74 percentage point from the second-quarter change.  Private businesses
reduced inventories $14.1 billion in the third quarter, following a decrease of $17.6 billion in the second
quarter and an increase of $4.8 billion in the first.

    Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- increased 8.0
percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 4.0 percent in the second.


Gross domestic purchases

    Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever
produced -- increased 7.0 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 4.4 percent in the
second. 


Gross national product

    Real gross national product -- the goods and services produced by the labor and property supplied
by U.S. residents -- increased 8.1 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 3.5 percent
in the second.  GNP includes, and GDP excludes, net receipts of income from the rest of the world,
which decreased $3.0 billion in the third quarter after increasing $5.9 billion in the second; in the third
quarter, receipts increased $5.1 billion, and payments increased $8.1 billion.


Current-dollar GDP

    Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased
10.0 percent, or $260.7 billion, in the third quarter to a level of $11,063.4 billion.  In the second quarter,
current-dollar GDP increased 4.3 percent, or $114.3 billion.


Revisions

    The preliminary estimate of the third-quarter increase in real GDP is 1.0 percentage point, or $24.0
billion, higher than the advance estimate issued last month.  The upward revision to the percentage
change in real GDP primarily reflected upward revisions to private inventory investment, to equipment
and software, to exports, to state and local government spending, and to residential fixed investment that
were partly offset by an upward revision to imports.

                          Corporate Profits

    Profits from current production (corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital
consumption adjustments) increased $105.5 billion in the third quarter.  In the second quarter, profits
increased $80.6 billion.  Current-production cash flow (net cash flow with inventory valuation and
capital consumption adjustments) -- the internal funds available to corporations for investment --
increased $71.3 billion in the third quarter, compared with an increase of $70.8 billion in the second.

    Domestic profits of financial corporations increased $20.3 billion in the third quarter, compared
with an increase of $8.4 billion in the second.  

    Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations increased $83.8 billion in the third quarter,
compared with an increase of $70.5 billion in the second.  In the third quarter, both real gross corporate
product and profits per unit of real product increased.  The increase in unit profits reflected an increase
in the prices corporations received and a decrease in unit costs; both unit labor and nonlabor costs
decreased.

    The rest-of-the-world component of profits increased $1.4 billion in the third quarter, compared
with an increase of $1.7 billion in the second.  This measure is calculated as (1) receipts by U.S.
residents of earnings from their foreign affiliates plus dividends received by U.S. residents from
unaffiliated foreign corporations minus (2) payments by U.S. affiliates of earnings to their foreign
parents plus dividends paid by U.S. corporations to unaffiliated foreign residents.  The third-quarter
increase was accounted for by a larger increase in receipts than in payments.

    Profits before tax with inventory valuation adjustment is the best available measure of industry
profits because estimates of the capital consumption adjustment by industry do not exist.  This measure
reflects the depreciation-accounting practices used for federal income tax returns.  According to this
measure, domestic profits of both financial and nonfinancial corporations increased.  The increase in the
profits of nonfinancial corporations was widespread among major industry groups with the largest
increases occurring in the transportation and utilities group, nondurable manufacturing, and wholesale
trade.

    The patterns of profits before tax and of profits tax liability for the second and third quarters
reflect the timing of provisions of the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003.  The
before-tax measure of profits does not reflect, as does profits from current production, the capital
consumption and inventory valuation adjustments.  These adjustments convert depreciation of fixed
assets and inventory withdrawals reported on a tax-return, historical-cost basis to the current-cost
measures used in the national income and product accounts.  (For more information, see "The Business
Situation" in the October issue of the Survey of Current Business.)

    Profits before tax increased $78.2 billion in the third quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $27.9
billion in the second.   The capital consumption adjustment increased $30.9 billion in the third quarter
(from $199.0 billion to $229.9 billion), compared with an increase of $83.7 billion in the second.  The
inventory valuation adjustment decreased $3.4 billion (from -$2.2 billion to -$5.6 billion), in contrast to
an increase of $24.7 billion.

    Profits tax liability increased $28.6 billion in the third quarter, in contrast to a decrease of $3.5
billion in the second.  Profits after tax increased $49.5 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $24.3 billion. 
Dividends increased $7.5 billion, compared with an increase of $7.9 billion; undistributed profits
increased $42.0 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $32.2 billion.

  Note.--Users are cautioned that particularly for components
that exhibit rapid change in prices relative to other prices in the
economy, the chained-dollar estimates should not be used to measure
the component's relative importance or its contribution to the
growth rate of more aggregate series.  For accurate estimates of
the contributions to percent changes in real GDP, use table 2.

              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 2000-01 annual percent change in real GDP uses prices for 2000 and 2001 as weights,
and the 2000-01 annual percent change in GDP prices uses quantities for 2000 and 2001 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.
