A Guide to the NIPAs

Important Notice

This description of the national income and product accounts (NIPAs) was prepared for the publication National Income and Product Accounts of the United States, 1929-97 that reflects the comprehensive revision of the NIPAs released in 1999 and the annual revision released in July 2000. The NIPA estimates available on this Web site reflect the comprehensive revision that was released beginning in December 2003 and incorporate the definitional, statistical, and presentational improvements introduced at that time. For more information about the comprehensive revision, go to

"A Guide to the NIPAs" will be updated in the next few months to reflect the 2003 comprehensive revision. To view the currently available document, click here.
