                        GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT:  THIRD QUARTER 2007 (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 3.9 percent in the third quarter of 2007, 
according to advance estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.  In the second quarter, 
real GDP increased 3.8 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 29,
2007.

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

	Final sales of computers contributed 0.29 percentage point to the third-quarter growth in real GDP 
after contributing 0.21 percentage point to the second-quarter growth.  Motor vehicle output contributed 
0.33 percentage point to the third-quarter growth in real GDP after contributing 0.03 percentage point to 
the second-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 1.6 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 3.8 percent in the second.  
Excluding food and energy prices, the price index for gross domestic purchases increased 1.7 percent in 
the third quarter, compared with an increase of 1.5 percent in the second.

	Real personal consumption expenditures increased 3.0 percent in the third quarter, compared with 
an increase of 1.4 percent in the second.  Durable goods increased 4.4 percent, compared with an 
increase of 1.7 percent.  Nondurable goods increased 2.7 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 0.5 
percent.  Services expenditures increased 2.9 percent, compared with an increase of 2.3 percent.

      Real nonresidential fixed investment increased 7.9 percent in the third quarter, compared with an
increase of 11.0 percent in the second.  Nonresidential structures increased 12.3 percent, compared with 
an increase of 26.2 percent.  Equipment and software increased 5.9 percent, compared with an increase 
of 4.7 percent.  Real residential fixed investment decreased 20.1 percent, compared with a decrease of 
11.8 percent.

	Real exports of goods and services increased 16.2 percent in the third quarter, compared with an 
increase of 7.5 percent in the second.  Real imports of goods and services increased 5.2 percent, in 
contrast to a decrease of 2.7 percent.

	Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment increased 6.8 percent in 
the third quarter, compared with an increase of 6.0 percent in the second.  National defense increased 9.7 
percent, compared with an increase of 8.5 percent.  Nondefense increased 0.9 percent, the same increase 
as in the second.  Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross investment 
increased 2.0 percent, compared with an increase of 3.0 percent.

	The real change in private inventories added 0.36 percentage point to the third-quarter change in 
real GDP after adding 0.22 percentage point to the second-quarter change.  Private businesses increased 
inventories $15.7 billion in the third quarter, following increases of $5.8 billion in the second quarter 
and $0.1 billion in the first.

	Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- increased 3.5 
percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 3.6 percent in the second.


Gross domestic purchases

	Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever 
produced -- increased 2.8 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 2.4 percent in the 
second. 


Disposition of personal income

	Current-dollar personal income increased $165.2 billion (5.8 percent) in the third quarter, 
compared with an increase of $150.0 billion (5.3 percent) in the second.  

	Personal current taxes increased $14.0 billion in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 
$30.9 billion in the second.  

	Disposable personal income increased $151.2 billion (6.1 percent) in the third quarter, compared 
with an increase of $119.1 billion (4.8 percent) in the second.  Real disposable personal income             
increased 4.4 percent, compared with an increase of 0.6 percent. 

	Personal outlays increased $129.1 billion (5.2 percent) in the third quarter, compared with an 
increase of $151.7 billion (6.3 percent) in the second.  Personal saving -- disposable personal income 
less personal outlays -- was $86.5 billion in the third quarter, compared with $64.4 billion in the second.  
The personal saving rate -- saving as a percentage of disposable personal income -- was 0.8 percent in 
the third quarter, compared with 0.6 percent in the second.  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.  For a
comparison of personal saving in BEA's national income and product accounts with personal saving in
the Federal Reserve Board's flow of funds accounts, go to

Current-dollar GDP

	Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased 
4.7 percent, or $157.9 billion, in the third quarter to a level of $13,926.7 billion.  In the second quarter, 
current-dollar GDP increased 6.6 percent, or $216.9 billion.

                       Next release -- November 29, 2007, at 8:30 A.M. EST for:
                       Gross Domestic Product:  Third Quarter 2007 (Preliminary)
                       Corporate Profits: Third Quarter 2007
					



		                    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, which cover the quarters of the 3 most recent calendar years, are usually carried out each
summer and incorporate newly available major annual source data.  Comprehensive (or benchmark) revisions
are carried out at about 5-year intervals and incorporate major periodic source data, as well as improvements in
concepts and methods that update the accounts to portray more accurately the evolving U.S. economy.

   The table below shows comparisons of the revisions between quarterly percent changes of current-dollar and
real GDP for the different vintages of the estimates.  From the advance estimate to the preliminary estimate (one
month later), the average revision to real GDP without regard to sign is 0.5 percentage point, while from the advance
estimate to the final estimate (two months later), it is 0.6 percentage point.  From the advance estimate to the latest
estimate, the average revision without regard to sign is 1.2 percentage points.  The average revision (with regard to
sign) from the advance estimate to the latest estimate is 0.3 percentage point, which is larger than the average
revisions from the advance estimate to the preliminary or to the final estimates.  The larger average revisions to the
latest estimate reflect the fact that comprehensive revisions include major improvements such as the introduction of
chain indexes and the capitalization of software.  The current quarterly estimates correctly indicate the direction of change of
real GDP 98 percent of the time, correctly indicate whether it is accelerating or decelerating 74 percent of the time,
and correctly indicate whether real GDP growth is above, near, or below trend growth more than three-fifths of the
time.

  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: 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.
