                 GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT:  SECOND QUARTER 2007 (PRELIMINARY)
                    CORPORATE PROFITS:  SECOND QUARTER 2007 (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 4.0 percent in the second quarter of 2007, 
according to preliminary estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.  In the first quarter, 
real GDP increased 0.6 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 3.4 
percent (see "Revisions" on page 3).

	The increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from 
personal consumption expenditures (PCE) for services, exports, nonresidential structures, federal 
government spending, state and local government spending, and equipment and software that were 
partly offset by a negative contribution from residential fixed investment.  Imports, which are a 
subtraction in the calculation of GDP, decreased.
	
	The acceleration in real GDP growth in the second quarter primarily reflected a downturn in 
imports, upturns in federal government spending and in private inventory investment, accelerations in 
exports and in nonresidential structures, and a smaller decrease in residential fixed investment that were 
partly offset by a notable deceleration in PCE.

	Final sales of computers contributed 0.21 percentage point to the second-quarter growth in real 
GDP after subtracting 0.01 percentage point from the first-quarter growth.  Motor vehicle output 
contributed 0.02 percentage point to the second-quarter growth in real GDP after contributing 0.18 
percentage point to the first-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 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.



	The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents, 
increased 3.8 percent in the second quarter, 0.1 percentage point less than in the advance estimate; this 
index also increased 3.8 percent in the first quarter.  Excluding food and energy prices, the price index 
for gross domestic purchases increased 1.6 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 
3.1 percent in the first.

	Real personal consumption expenditures increased 1.4 percent in the second quarter, compared 
with an increase of 3.7 percent in the first.  Real nonresidential fixed investment increased 11.1 percent, 
compared with an increase of 2.1 percent.  Nonresidential structures increased 27.7 percent, compared 
with an increase of 6.4 percent.  Equipment and software increased 4.3 percent, compared with an 
increase of 0.3 percent.  Real residential fixed investment decreased 11.6 percent, compared with a 
decrease of 16.3 percent.

	Real exports of goods and services increased 7.6 percent in the second quarter, compared with an 
increase of 1.1 percent in the first.  Real imports of goods and services decreased 3.2 percent, in contrast 
to an increase of 3.9 percent.

	Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 5.9 percent in 
the second quarter, in contrast to a decrease of 6.3 percent in the first.  National defense increased 8.6 
percent, in contrast to a decrease of 10.8 percent.  Nondefense increased 0.5 percent, compared with an 
increase of 3.8 percent.  Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross 
investment increased 3.0 percent, the same increase as in the first.

	The real change in private inventories added 0.21 percentage point to the second-quarter change in 
real GDP, after subtracting 0.65 percentage point from the first-quarter change.  Private businesses 
increased inventories $5.4 billion in the second quarter, following increases of $0.1 billion in the first 
quarter and $17.4 billion in the fourth.

	Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- increased 3.7 
percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 1.3 percent in the first.


Gross domestic purchases

	Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever 
produced -- increased 2.4 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 1.1 percent in the 
first. 


Gross national product

	Real gross national product -- the goods and services produced by the labor and property supplied 
by U.S. residents -- increased 4.0 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 0.7 
percent in the first.  GNP includes, and GDP excludes, net receipts of income from the rest of the world, 
which increased $0.6 billion in the second quarter after increasing $1.8 billion in the first; in the second 
quarter, receipts increased $34.9 billion, and payments increased $34.3 billion.


Current-dollar GDP

	Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased 
6.7 percent, or $222.8 billion, in the second quarter to a level of $13,774.7 billion.  In the first quarter, 
current-dollar GDP increased 4.9 percent, or $159.6 billion.


Revisions

	The preliminary estimate of the second-quarter increase in real GDP is 0.6 percentage point, or 
$15.9 billion, more than the advance estimate issued last month.  The upward revision to the percentage 
change in real GDP primarily reflected upward revisions to nonresidential structures, to equipment and 
software investment, to exports, and a downward revision to imports that were partly offset by a 
downward revision to residential fixed investment.

                                Corporate Profits

	Profits from current production (corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital 
consumption adjustments) increased $98.3 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 
$16.5 billion in the first quarter.  Current-production cash flow (net cash flow with inventory valuation 
and capital consumption adjustments) -- the internal funds available to corporations for investment -- 
increased $40.6 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of $0.2 billion in the first.


	 Taxes on corporate income increased $39.4 billion in the second quarter, compared with an 
increase of $0.1 billion in the first.  Profits after tax with inventory valuation and capital consumption 
adjustments increased $58.9 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of $16.4 billion in 
the first.  Dividends increased $24.7 billion, compared with an increase of $23.0 billion; current-
production undistributed profits increased $34.2 billion, in contrast to a decrease of $6.6 billion.

	Domestic profits of financial corporations increased $56.7 billion in the second quarter, in contrast 
to a decrease of $26.9 billion in the first.  Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations increased $25.3 
billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of $23.2 billion in the first.  In the second 
quarter, real gross corporate value added increased, and profits per unit of real value added increased.  
The increase in profits per unit reflected an increase in unit prices that was partly offset by an increase in 
unit labor costs; unit nonlabor costs decreased slightly.

	The rest-of-the-world component of profits increased $16.2 billion in the second quarter, 
compared with an increase of $20.1 billion in the first.  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 second-quarter 
increase was accounted for by a larger increase in receipts than in payments.

	Profits before tax increased $120.0 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 
$26.6 billion in the first.  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.  The capital consumption 
adjustment decreased $7.8 billion in the second quarter (from -$227.9 billion to -$235.7 billion), in 
contrast to an increase of $9.1 billion in the first.  The inventory valuation adjustment decreased $13.9 
billion (from -$40.2 billion to -$54.1 billion), compared with a decrease of $19.2 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.

  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 in appendix table A.
  See "Explanatory Note" at the end of the tables.

  r Revised.  Revisions include changes to series affected by the
introduction of revised wage and salary estimates for the first
quarter of 2007.
  1. The current-dollar gross value added is deflated using the
gross value added chain-type price index for nonfinancial industries
from the GDP-by-industry accounts.  For periods when this price index
is not available, the chain-type price index for GDP goods and
structures is used.
  2. Chained-dollar consumption of fixed capital of nonfinancial
corporate business is calculated as the product of the chain-type
quantity index and the 2000 current-dollar value of the corresponding
series, divided by 100.
  3. Chained-dollar net value added of nonfinancial corporate
business is the difference between the gross value added and the
consumption of fixed capital.
  4. The deflator for gross value added of nonfinancial corporate
business divided by 100.

  1. Some components of final sales of computers include
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

     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 2005-06
annual percent change in real GDP uses prices for 2005 and 2006 as weights, and the 2005-06 annual
percent change in GDP prices uses quantities for 2005 and 2006 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, 8,
and Appendix Table A.  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.
