         GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT:  FOURTH QUARTER 2005 (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 1.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2005, 
according to preliminary estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.  In the third quarter, 
real GDP increased 4.1 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 1.1 
percent (see "Revisions" on page 3).

     The increase in real GDP in the fourth quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from
private inventory investment, personal consumption expenditures (PCE), exports, equipment and 
software, and residential fixed investment that were partly offset by a negative contribution from federal  
government spending.  Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.

     The deceleration in real GDP growth in the fourth quarter primarily reflected a deceleration in
PCE, an acceleration in imports, a downturn in federal government spending, and decelerations in 
equipment and software and in residential fixed investment that were partly offset by an upturn in 
inventory investment.

     Final sales of computers contributed 0.34 percentage point to the fourth-quarter growth in real
GDP after contributing 0.16 percentage point to the third-quarter growth.  Motor vehicle output 
subtracted 0.63 percentage point from the fourth-quarter growth in real GDP after contributing 0.56 
percentage point to the third-quarter growth.  




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 (2000)
dollars.  Prices indexes are chain-type measures.

                  This new release is available on BEA's Web site at www.bea.gov/bea/rels.htm.


     The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents,
increased 3.6 in the fourth quarter, 0.3 percentage point more than the advance estimate; this index 
increased 4.2 percent in the third quarter.  Excluding food and energy prices, the price index for gross 
domestic purchases increased 3.0 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with an increase of 2.5 percent 
in the third.

     Real personal consumption expenditures increased 1.2 percent in the fourth quarter, compared
with an increase of 4.1 percent in the third.  Real nonresidential fixed investment increased 5.4 percent 
in the fourth quarter, compared with an increase of 8.5 percent in the third.  Nonresidential structures 
increased 3.3 percent, compared with an increase of 2.2 percent.  Equipment and software increased 6.2 
percent, compared with an increase of 10.6 percent.  Real residential fixed investment increased 2.6 
percent, compared with an increase of 7.3 percent.

     Real exports of goods and services increased 5.7 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with an
increase of 2.5 percent in the third.  Real imports of goods and services increased 12.8 percent, 
compared with an increase of 2.4 percent.

     Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment decreased 2.6 percent in
the fourth quarter, in contrast to an increase of 7.4 percent in the third.  National defense decreased 9.0 
percent, in contrast to an increase of 10.0 percent.  Nondefense increased 11.9 percent, compared with 
an increase of 2.4 percent.  Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross 
investment increased 0.4 percent, compared with an increase of 0.2 percent.

     The real change in private inventories added 1.62 percentage points to the fourth-quarter change in
real GDP, after subtracting 0.43 percentage point from the third-quarter change.  Private businesses 
increased inventories $30.4 billion in the fourth quarter, following decreases of $13.3 billion in the third 
quarter and $1.7 billion in the second.

     Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- was unchanged
in the fourth quarter, in contrast to an increase of 4.6 percent in the third.


Gross domestic purchases

     Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever
produced -- increased 2.9 percent in the fourth quarter, compared with an increase of 4.0 percent in the 
third. 


Current-dollar GDP

     Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased
5.0 percent, or $154.7 billion, in the fourth quarter to a level of $12,760.4 billion.  In the third quarter, 
current-dollar GDP increased 7.6 percent, or $227.7 billion.


Revisions

     The preliminary estimate of the fourth-quarter increase in real GDP is 0.5 percentage point, or
$14.1 billion, higher than the advance estimate issued last month.  The upward revision to the 
percentage change in real GDP primarily reflected upward revisions to exports, to federal government 
spending, to equipment and software, and to change in private inventories that were partly offset by an 
upward revision to imports.

2005 GDP

     Real GDP increased 3.5 percent in 2005 (that is, from the 2004 annual level to the 2005 annual
level), the same as in the advance estimate.  In 2004, real GDP increased 4.2 percent.

     During 2005 (that is, measured from the fourth quarter of 2004 to the fourth quarter of 2005), real
GDP increased 3.2 percent, 0.1 percentage point more than in the advance estimate.  Real GDP 
increased 3.8 percent during 2004.  The price index for gross domestic purchases increased 3.5 percent 
during 2005, 0.1 percentage point more than in the advance estimate.  During 2004, this index increased  
3.4 percent.

  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.

  1. 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.  Percentage changes for these series are
included in the addenda to table 8 and appendix table A.
  See "Explanatory Note" at the end of the tables.

  1. 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.

     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.
