         GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT:  THIRD QUARTER 2000 (FINAL)
         CORPORATE PROFITS:  THIRD QUARTER 2000 (REVISED)

    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 2.2 percent in the third quarter of 2000,
according to revised estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.  In the second quarter, real
GDP increased 5.6 percent.
 
    The GDP estimates released today are based on more complete source data than were available for
the preliminary estimates issued last month.  In the preliminary estimates, the increase in real GDP was
2.4 percent (see "Revisions" on page 3).
    The major contributors to the increase in real GDP in the third quarter were:  Personal
consumption expenditures (PCE), exports, and nonresidential fixed investment.  The contributions of
these components were partially offset by an increase in imports (which are subtracted in the calculation
of GDP) and by decreases in federal government spending and in residential investment. 
    The deceleration in real GDP in the third quarter primarily reflected downturns in inventory
investment and in federal government spending and a deceleration in nonresidential fixed investment that
were partly offset by an acceleration in PCE.
    The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents,
increased 2.0 percent in the third quarter, 0.3 percentage point less than in the preliminary estimate; this
index increased 2.1 percent in the second quarter.  Excluding food and energy prices, the price index for
gross domestic purchases increased 1.5 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 1.7
percent in the second.
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 annualized.  "Real" estimates are in chained (1996) dollars.  Price
indexes are chain-type measures.
    Real personal consumption expenditures increased 4.5 percent in the third quarter, compared with
an increase of 3.1 percent in the second.  Real nonresidential fixed investment increased 7.7 percent,
compared with an increase of 14.6 percent.  Nonresidential structures increased 14.6 percent, compared
with an increase of 4.4 percent.  Equipment and software increased 5.6 percent, compared with an
increase of 17.9 percent.  Real residential fixed investment decreased 10.6 percent, in contrast to an
increase of 1.3 percent.
    Real exports of goods and services increased 13.9 percent in the third quarter, compared with an
increase of 14.3 percent in the second.  Real imports of goods and services increased 17.0 percent,
compared with an increase of 18.6 percent.
    Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment decreased 9.0 percent in
the third quarter, in contrast to an increase of 17.2 percent in the second.  National defense decreased 9.7
percent, in contrast to an increase of 16.9 percent.  Nondefense decreased 7.9 percent, in contrast to an
increase of 17.8 percent.  Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross
investment increased 2.9 percent, in contrast to a decrease of 1.1 percent.
    The real change in private inventories subtracted 0.22 percentage point from the third-quarter
change in real GDP, after adding 1.73 percentage points to the second-quarter change.  Private
businesses increased inventories $72.5 billion in the third quarter, following increases of $78.6 billion in
the second quarter and $36.6 billion in the first.
    Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- increased 2.4
percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 3.9 percent in the second.
Gross domestic purchases
    Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever
produced -- increased 3.0 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 6.5 percent in the
second. 
Gross national product
    Real gross national product -- the goods and services produced by the labor and property supplied
by U.S. residents -- increased 2.1 percent in the third quarter, compared with an increase of 5.6 percent in
the second.  GNP includes, and GDP excludes, net receipts of income from the rest of the world.
Current-dollar GDP
    Current-dollar GDP   the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased 3.8
percent, or $93.7 billion, in the third quarter to a level of $10,039.4 billion.  In the second quarter,
current-dollar GDP increased 8.2 percent, or $193.0 billion.
Revisions
    The final estimate of the third-quarter increase in real GDP is 0.2 percentage point lower than the
preliminary estimate issued last month.  The major contributor to the downward revision was exports of
goods and services, which contributed -0.15 percentage point.  Within exports, a downward revision to
exports of services more than offset an upward revision to exports of goods.

                           Corporate Profits
    Profits from current production (profits before tax with inventory valuation and capital
consumption adjustments) increased $6.7 billion in the third quarter, according to revised estimates.  In
the second quarter, profits increased $27.3 billion.  Current-production cash flow (net cash flow with
inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments) -- the internal funds available to corporations
for investment -- increased $20.1 billion in the third quarter, compared with an increase of $35.3 billion in
the second.
    Domestic profits of financial corporations increased $6.1 billion in the third quarter, in contrast to a
decrease of $5.5 billion in the second.
    Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations decreased $7.1 billion in the third quarter, in contrast
to an increase of $27.3 billion in the second.  In the third quarter, real gross corporate product increased,
and profits per unit of real product decreased.  The decrease in unit profits reflected a smaller increase in
the prices nonfinancial corporations received than in the unit costs they incurred.
    The rest-of-the-world component of profits increased $7.8 billion in the third quarter, compared
with an increase of $5.4 billion in the second.  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 third-quarter increase was accounted for by a
larger decrease in payments than in receipts.
    The revised estimate of third-quarter corporate profits from current production is $0.9 billion lower
than the preliminary estimate issued last month.  The foreign component of profits (rest-of-the-world
profits) was revised up $2.7 billion.  Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations were revised down
$5.3 billion, and domestic profits of financial corporations were revised up $1.7 billion.          
    Profits before tax with inventory valuation adjustment is the best available measure of industry
profits because estimates of the capital consumption adjustment by industry do not exist.  According to
this measure, domestic profits of financial corporations increased in the third quarter, and domestic
profits of nonfinancial corporations decreased.  The decrease in the profits of nonfinancial corporations
reflected a large decrease in manufacturing and small decreases in the transportation and utilities group
and in retail trade that were partly offset by increases in "other" nonmanufacturing and in wholesale trade.
    Profits before tax increased $2.6 billion in the third quarter, compared with an increase of $21.8
billion in the second.  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 and inventory withdrawals reported on an historical-cost basis to the replacement-cost
measures used in the national income and product accounts.  The capital consumption adjustment
decreased $5.0 billion in the third quarter (from $34.7 billion to $29.7 billion), compared with a decrease
of $5.9 billion in the second.  The inventory valuation adjustment increased $9.1 billion (from -$13.6
billion to -$4.5 billion), compared with an increase of $11.4 billion.
    Profits tax liability decreased $1.4 billion in the third quarter, in contrast to an increase of $5.7
billion in the second.  Profits after tax increased $4.0 billion, compared with an increase of $16.0 billion. 
Dividends increased $7.1 billion, compared with an increase of $5.7 billion; undistributed profits
decreased $3.0 billion, in contrast to an increase of $10.3 billion.

  Note.--Users are cautioned that particularly for components
for which relative prices are changing rapidly, the use of
chained-dollar estimates to calculate component shares or component
contributions to real growth may be misleading even just a few years
from the base year.  For accurate estimates of the contributions to
percent changes in real GDP, use table 2.
  See "Explanatory Note" at the end of the tables.

              Explanatory Note:  Measures of Output and Prices
     This note describes the calculation of chain-type quantity and price indexes used in the NIPA's.
     Changes in current-dollar GDP measure changes in the market value of goods, services, and structures produced in the
economy in a particular period.  These changes 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 1996--equal to
100. 
     The 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 1998-99 annual percent change in real GDP uses prices for 1998 and 1999 as weights,
and the 1998-99 annual percent change in GDP prices uses quantities for 1998 and 1999 as weights.  These annual
changes are "chained" (multiplied) together to form time series of quantity and price indexes.  The Fisher formula
produces percent changes in quantities and prices that are not affected by the choice of reference years.  In addition,
because the changes in quantities and prices calculated in this way are symmetric, in general, the product of a quantity
index and the corresponding price index equals the current-dollar index.  (BEA also publishes a measure of the price level
known as the "implicit price deflator (IPD)," which is calculated as the ratio of 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 for all periods.)
     Chain-type quantity and price indexes for GDP and its major components are presented in this release as index
numbers in table 5 and in the form of percentage changes from the preceding period in tables 1, 4, 6 and from the quarter
one year ago in table 7. Contributions by major components to changes in real GDP are presented in table 2.  BEA also
prepares measures of real GDP and its components in a dollar-denominated form, designated "chained (1996) dollar
estimates."  For GDP and most other series, these estimates, which are presented in table 3, are computed by multiplying
the 1996 current-dollar value by a corresponding quantity index number and then dividing by 100.  For example, if a
current-dollar GDP component equaled $100 in 1996 and if real output for this component increased 10 percent in 1997,
then the chained (1996) dollar value of this component in 1997 would be $110 ($100 x 1.10).  
     For analyses of changes over time in an aggregate or in a component, the percentage changes calculated from the
chained-dollar estimates and from the chain-type quantity indexes are the same; any differences will be small and due to
rounding.  However, because the relative prices used as weights for any period other than the reference year differ from
those used for the reference year, the chained-dollar values for the detailed GDP components will not necessarily sum to
the chained-dollar estimate of GDP or to any intermediate aggregate.  A measure of the extent of such differences is
provided by a "residual" line, which indicates the difference between GDP (or another 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 for the chain-type index, the residuals tend to be small, and the
chained (1996) dollar estimates can be used to approximate the contributions to growth and to aggregate the detailed
estimates.  As one moves further from the reference year, the residual tends to become larger, and the chained-dollar
estimates become 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.
