17 Residual/1/ -10.4 -7.1 -3.3

1. The residual line is the difference between the first line and the sum of the most detailed lines.

NOTE.—Contributions to change are calculated by dividing the change in chained dollars for 1977-82 for each industry group by the change in chained dollars for GDP. This calculation is performed using chained (1992) dollars and chained (1977) dollars. This procedure differs from that used for the calculations of contributions to growth shown in NIPA table 8.2.
