WESTERN STATES LED ECONOMIC GROWTH IN 2005
Advance 2005 and Revised 1998–2004 Gross State Product (GSP) Estimates

U.S. economic growth was widespread in 2005, as GSP grew in 49 of 50 states and the District of Columbia, according to estimates released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis1. Eight of the ten fastest–growing states are west of the Mississippi River2. However, as compared to 2004, growth slowed for the nation and most states.

 

Highlights for 2005

  • Growth in real U.S. GSP slowed from 4.2 percent in 2004 to 3.5 percent in 2005; most states' growth slowed as well.
  • The services–producing sector continued its expansion with financial activities being the largest contributor to growth. The information–communications–technology–producing industries continued to experience double–digit growth. Most of the fastest–growing states have large concentrations in one or both of these sectors.
  • Real GSP grew in all states except Louisiana. The decline in Louisiana was due to the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.
  • Six of the fastest–growing states–Florida, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Virginia–were also among the fastest–growing states in 2004.
1The 2005 estimates draw heavily on the 2005 preliminary state earnings–by–industry estimates released on March 28, 2006. Estimates for 2004 and earlier are based on BEA's regular GSP methodology. For further details, see the forthcoming July 2006 Survey of Current Business article on gross state product. Revised 2005 GSP totals, along with advance NAICS sector–level estimates of GSP for 2005, will be released in October 2006.
2Seven coterminous states plus Hawaii.

Industry Detail for 2004

Newly available detailed industry information for 2004 confirm the overall pattern of growth by region and broad industry sector reported in October 2005. At the industry level:

  • Growth in services–producing industries was strong in nearly all states.
  • The largest contributor to growth for 41 states was one of the following three broad industry categories–financial activities, trade, or durable goods manufacturing.
  • Many of the slowest–growing states, had declines in the manufacturing, and natural resources and mining industries.

Revisions to the Estimates for 1998–2004

  • The revisions in GSP are primarily due to the incorporation of new data from the Economic Census for 2002, and the Annual Survey of Manufacturers (ASM) for 2003 and 2004.
  • Overall, the revisions had a moderate impact on relative growth across states. The first–time accelerated industry estimates for 2004, released in October 2005, indicated successfully whether a state's growth was high or low (relative to national growth) for 71 percent of the states.

Tables 1–4 show these results in more detail; complete detail is available on BEA's web site at www.bea.gov

Advance 2005 GSP Estimates

For the second year, BEA is releasing advance GSP estimates. The 2005 estimates are based on BEA earnings–by–industry estimates released March 28, 2006 and on advance GDP–by–industry estimates released April 27, 2006. More information on the methodology used to produce the advance 2005 estimates, on the regular (revised) GSP estimates for 1998–2004, and on revisions to the GSP estimates will appear in an article in the July 2006 issue of the Survey of Current Business, BEA's monthly journal.

In October 2006, BEA plans to release revised 2005 GSP totals and both current– and real–dollar NAICS sector–level GSP estimates for 2005.

BEA is interested in your comments

BEA is interested in your views on the methodology for the advance estimates, the appropriate level of industry detail, and the tradeoff between accuracy and timeliness. We encourage your feedback on the value of this initiative in BEA's Strategic Plan. Please e–mail your comments to BEA's Associate Director for Regional Economics, John W. Ruser, at gspread@bea.gov.

Explanatory Notes

Definitions

GSP is the state counterpart of the Nation's gross domestic product (GDP), the Bureau's featured and most comprehensive measure of U.S. economic activity. GSP for a state is derived as the sum of the GSP originating in all the industries in the state.

Real GSP is an inflation–adjusted measure of each state's gross product that is based on national prices for the goods and services produced within that state. The estimates of real GSP and of quantity indexes with a base year of 2000 are derived by applying national implicit price deflators to the current–dollar GSP estimates for the 63 SIC industries for years 1977–1997, and for the 81 NAICS industries for years 1997 forward. Then, the chain–type index formula that is used in the national accounts is used to calculate the estimates of total real GSP and of real GSP at more aggregated industry levels.

The relation of GSP to Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

An industry's GSP, or its value added, is equal to its gross output (sales or receipts and other operating income, commodity taxes, and inventory change) minus its intermediate inputs (consumption of goods and services purchased from other U.S. industries or imported). The GSP accounts provide data by industry and state that are consistent with gross domestic product (GDP) in the national income and product accounts, and with the GDP by industry accounts.

However, for the NAICS–based GSP estimates for years 1997 forward, total GSP for the Nation differs from GDP in the national income and product accounts for two reasons. First, GSP excludes, and GDP and GDP by industry include, compensation of Federal civilian and military personnel stationed abroad and government consumption of fixed capital for military structures located abroad and for military equipment except domestically located office equipment. Second, GSP and GDP often have different revision schedules.

For the SIC–based GSP estimates for years 1963–1997, there is a third reason why U.S. GSP differs from GDP for the Nation. Like the national estimates of GDP by industry, GSP is measured as the sum of the distributions by industry of the components of gross domestic income, which differs from GDP by the statistical discrepancy. For 1997 forward, the statistical discrepancy is distributed among all private industries. This is not done for the SIC–based estimates.
