7 Annual Revision of the National Income and Product Accounts: Annual Estimates, 1998-2000, and Quarterly Estimates, 1998:I-2001:I    (PDF)

Overall, the picture of the U.S. economy that is presented by the revised estimates is similar to that shown by the previously published estimates. Both sets of estimates show strong growth, fueled by consumer spending and business investment, and low inflation. For the period covered by the revisions, the average annual growth rate of real GDP was revised down from 4.5 percent to 4.2 percent, but the revised rate is still considerably above the average growth rate of 3.5 percent over the current expansion (1991:I-2001:I). The revised estimates reflect the incorporation of newly available and revised regular source data and the introduction of changes in methodology, including the use of better source data to prepare the estimates of fixed investment in prepackaged and custom software and in communication equipment.

In 1992-99, the average annual growth rates in real gross state product (GSP) ranged from 7.3 percent in Arizona to - 0.3 percent in Hawaii. In 1999, California accounted for the largest share (13.2 percent) of the Nation's current-dollar GSP, followed by New York (8.1 percent) and Texas (7.4 percent). The new and revised GSP estimates incorporate the results of the July 2000 revision of the NIPA's, the October 2000 revision of State personal income, and the December 2000 release of GDP by industry.
