Virginia H. Mannering: (202) 606-5304 BEA 05-47 Recorded message: (202) 606-5306 GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT: THIRD QUARTER 2005 (ADVANCE) 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 3.8 percent in the third quarter of 2005, according to advance estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. In the second quarter, real GDP increased 3.3 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, 2005. The major contributors to the increase in real GDP in the third quarter were personal consumption expenditures (PCE), equipment and software, federal government spending, and residential fixed investment. The contributions of these components were partly offset by a negative contribution from private inventory investment. The acceleration in real GDP growth in the third quarter primarily reflected a smaller decrease in private inventory investment and accelerations in PCE and in federal government spending that were partly offset by decelerations in exports, in residential fixed investment, and in state and local government spending. Final sales of computers contributed 0.11 percentage point to the third-quarter growth in real GDP after contributing 0.32 percentage point to the second-quarter growth. Motor vehicle output contributed 0.48 percentage point to the third-quarter growth in real GDP after subtracting 0.01 percentage point from the second-quarter growth. The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents, increased 4.0 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 3.3 percent in the second. Excluding food and energy prices, the price index for gross domestic purchases increased 2.2 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 2.1 percent in the second. 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 are annualized. "Real" estimates are in chained (2000) dollars. Price indexes are chain-type measures. This news release is available on BEA's Web site at www.bea.gov/newsreleases/rels.htm. Real personal consumption expenditures increased 3.9 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 3.4 percent in the second. Durable goods purchases increased 10.8 percent, compared with an increase of 7.9 percent. Nondurable goods purchases increased 2.6 percent, compared with an increase of 3.6 percent. Services expenditures increased 3.2 percent, compared with an increase of 2.3 percent. Real nonresidential fixed investment increased 6.2 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 8.8 percent in the second. Nonresidential structures decreased 1.4 percent, in contrast to an increase of 2.7 percent. Equipment and software increased 8.9 percent, compared with an increase of 10.9 percent. Real residential fixed investment increased 4.8 percent, compared with an increase of 10.8 percent. Real exports of goods and services increased 0.8 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 10.7 percent in the second. Real imports of goods and services was unchanged in the third quarter; imports decreased 0.3 percent in the second quarter. Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 7.7 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 2.4 percent in the second. National defense increased 10.2 percent, compared with an increase of 3.7 percent. Nondefense increased 2.6 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 0.2 percent. Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 0.7 percent, compared with an increase of 2.6 percent. The real change in private inventories subtracted 0.55 percentage point from the third-quarter change in real GDP after subtracting 2.14 percentage points from the second-quarter change. Private businesses reduced inventories $16.6 billion in the third quarter, following a decrease of $1.7 billion in the second quarter and an increase of $58.2 billion in the first. Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- increased 4.4 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 5.6 percent in the second. Gross domestic purchases Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever produced -- increased 3.5 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 2.1 percent in the second. Disposition of personal income Current-dollar personal income increased $71.8 billion (2.8 percent) in the third quarter, compared with an increase of $147.8 billion (6.0 percent) in the second. The slowdown in personal income partly reflected the impacts of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Rental income and proprietors' income were reduced by the property damage caused by the hurricanes, and current transfer receipts were increased by insurance settlements related to the hurricanes. For more information, see the FAQs on "Disasters" on BEA's Web site. Personal current taxes increased $10.2 billion, compared with an increase of $41.2 billion. Disposable personal income increased $61.6 billion (2.8 percent) in the third quarter, compared with an increase of $106.6 billion (4.9 percent) in the second. Real disposable personal income decreased 0.9 percent, in contrast to an increase of 1.5 percent. Personal outlays increased $169.0 billion (7.7 percent) in the third quarter, compared with an increase of $146.6 billion (6.8 percent) in the second. Personal saving -- disposable personal income less personal outlays -- was a negative $100.1 billion in the third quarter, compared with $7.4 billion in the second. The personal saving rate -- saving as a percentage of disposable personal income -- decreased from 0.1 percent in the second quarter to a negative 1.1 percent in the third. Saving from current income may be near zero or negative when outlays are financed by borrowing (including borrowing financed through credit cards or home equity loans), by selling investments or other assets, or by using savings from previous periods. For more information, see the FAQs on "Personal Saving" on BEA's Web site. Current-dollar GDP Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased 7.0 percent, or $211.6 billion, in the third quarter to a level of $12,589.6 billion. In the second quarter, current-dollar GDP increased 6.0 percent, or $179.2 billion.

Summary BEA estimates are available on recorded messages at the time of public release at the following telephone numbers: (202) 606-5306 Gross domestic product (202) 606-5303 Personal income and outlays * * * Next release -- November 30, 2005, at 8:30 A.M. EST for: Gross Domestic Product: Third Quarter 2005 (Preliminary) Corporate Profits: Third Quarter 2005 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 3.8 percent at an annual rate, is not likely to be revised below 3.2 percent or above 4.7 percent in the next two releases.

For some components of final sales of computers, includes computer parts. 2. Farm output less intermediate goods and services purchased. 3. Consists of GDP less gross value added of farm, of households and institutions, and of general government. 4. This index is a supplemental measure that is based on household expenditures for which there are observable price measures. It excludes most implicit prices (for example, the services furnished without payment by financial intermediaries) and the expenses of nonprofit institutions. See "Explanatory Note" at the end of the tables. Explanatory Note: NIPA Measures of Quantities and Prices Current-dollar GDP is a measure of the market value of goods, services, and structures produced in the economy in a particular period. Changes in current-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. 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 2003-04 annual percent change in real GDP uses prices for 2003 and 2004 as weights, and the 2003-04 annual percent change in GDP prices uses quantities for 2003 and 2004 as weights. These annual changes are "chained" (multiplied) together to form time series of quantity and price indexes. Percent changes in Fisher indexes are not affected by the choice of reference year. (BEA also publishes a measure of the price level known as the implicit price deflator (IPD), which is calculated as the ratio of the current-dollar value to the corresponding chained-dollar value, multiplied by 100. The values of the IPD are very close to the values of the corresponding "chain-type" price index.) Index numbers of quantity and price indexes for GDP and its major components are presented in this release in tables 5 and 6. Percent changes from the preceding period are presented in tables 1, 4, 7, and 8. Contributions by major components to changes in real GDP are presented in table 2. Measures of real GDP and its major components are also presented in dollar-denominated form, designated "chained (2000) dollar estimates." For most series, these estimates, which are presented in table 3, are computed by multiplying the current-dollar value in 2000 by a corresponding quantity index number and then dividing by 100. For example, if a current-dollar GDP component equaled $100 in 2000 and if real output for this component increased 10 percent in 2001, then the chained (2000) dollar value of this component in 2001 would be $110 (= $100 x 110 / 100). Percent changes calculated from chained-dollar estimates and from chain-type quantity indexes are the same; any differences will be small and due to rounding. Chained-dollar values for the detailed GDP components will not necessarily sum to the chained-dollar estimate of GDP (or to any intermediate aggregate). This is because the relative prices used as weights for any period other than the reference year differ from those of the reference year. A measure of the extent of such differences is provided by a "residual" line, which indicates the difference between GDP (or other major 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, the residuals tend to be small, and the chained-dollar estimates can be used to approximate the contributions to growth and to aggregate the detailed estimates. For periods 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. 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.
