GROSS STATE PRODUCT 1992–98:
HIGH-TECH MANUFACTURING AND BUSINESS SERVICES
BOOST GROWTH IN WESTERN STATES

Strength in high-tech manufacturing and in business services — two industries identified with the "new economy" — contributed to rapid growth in eight western states, and in New Hampshire and Georgia (see map below), according to estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, Commerce Department. From 1992 to 1998, these 10 states had the fastest growth in real gross state product (GSP) — an inflation-adjusted measure of value added in production.

From 1992, the first year from which the nation began to recover from the 1990-91 recession, to 1998, the latest year for which GSP estimates are available, real GSP in the nation grew at an average annual rate of 3.9 percent. Real GSP grew in all major industries and was particularly strong in some of the "new economy" industries (see discussion on page 2).

States with the fastest growth in real GSP in 1992–98

The 10 states with the fastest growth in real GSP were Arizona (7.5 percent), Oregon (7.2 percent), Nevada (6.9 percent), Utah (6.9 percent), Colorado (6.6 percent), New Hampshire (6.3 percent), New Mexico (6.2 percent), Idaho (6.1 percent), Georgia (5.8 percent), and Texas (5.6 percent).

Except for New Hampshire and Georgia, these fastest growing states were in the western part of the nation. In addition to fast GSP growth, all 10 states had population growth above the national average of 1.0 percent per year.

  Note: For the contributions of the industries to the percent change in total gross state product, see table 2.

The fast growth in these states reflected strength in all major industries, but growth was particularly strong in some of the high-tech manufacturing and business services industries, such as electronics and electrical devices, which includes semiconductor manufacturing and related products; industrial machinery and computer equipment, which includes computer and related hardware manufacturing; business services, which includes software development, data processing services, and computer rental and leasing; and communications, which includes telephone, satellite, and multimedia services.

In all 10 states, construction, real estate, transportation, trade, and health services also contributed substantially to the growth in real GSP; the strength in these industries partly reflected demand from rapid population growth. In addition:

  • In these 10 states except New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Idaho, air transportation and nondepository institutions, which includes mortgage, credit, and loan institutions, contributed significantly to the growth in real GSP.
  • In Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, and Texas, other services, which includes professional, cultural, and entertainment services, contributed significantly.
  • In Arizona, Utah, and New Hampshire, depository institutions contributed significantly.
  • In Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas, oil and gas extraction contributed significantly; in Nevada, metal mining contributed significantly.

States with the slowest growth in real GSP in 1992–98

The 10 states with the slowest growth in real GSP were Hawaii (-0.5 percent), Alaska (-0.4 percent), Maine (2.6 percent), New York (2.7 percent), Montana (2.7 percent), Pennsylvania (2.7 percent), West Virginia (2.7 percent), Vermont (2.8 percent), Rhode Island (2.8 percent), and Maryland (2.9 percent).

Except for Hawaii, Alaska, and Montana, these slowest growing states were in the eastern part of the nation (see map on page 1) and had population growth below or near the national average of 1.0 percent per year.

  Note: For the contributions of the industries to the percent change in total gross state product, see table 2.

In these states, contributions from the high-tech manufacturing and business services industries were offset by large declines in more traditional industries: Farms in the agriculture, forestry, and fishing sector; printing and publishing, apparel and textile products, and instruments and scientific products in the manufacturing sector; insurance and broker services in the finance, insurance, and real estate sector; legal and repair services in the services sector; and federal government in the government sector. In addition:

  • In Alaska, Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Rhode Island, declines in paper products contributed significantly to the slow growth in real GSP.
  • In Alaska and Montana, declines in lumber and wood products and in mining — oil and gas extraction in Alaska and nonmetalic minerals in Montana — contributed significantly to the slow growth in real GSP. The declines in oil and gas extraction in Alaska reflected a substantial decrease in crude oil prices.
  • In Hawaii, declines or weakness in real GSP were widespread in all major industries. The weakness reflected the state's slow recovery from the 1990–91 recession; it also reflected impacts from the 1998 Asian financial crisis, which affected growth in tourism, in exportable agriculture-related products, and in the construction industries.

State shares of U.S. current-dollar GSP in 1998

In 1998, current-dollar GSP for the nation was $8.7 trillion. California's GSP accounted for the largest share (12.8 percent) of the nation and has exceeded $1 trillion since 1997 (table 3). The other four states with the largest shares of the U.S. total were New York (8.1 percent), Texas (7.4 percent), Illinois (4.9 percent), and Florida (4.8 percent).

The five states with the smallest shares of the U.S. total were Vermont, North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and South Dakota; each of these states accounted for about 0.2 percent of the U.S. total.

Sources of GSP revisions

The GSP estimates have been revised for 1977–97 to incorporate the results of the most recent comprehensive revisions of state personal income, of the national estimates of gross product by industry, and of the national income and product accounts (NIPA's). Highlights of major improvements to the national and state accounts include recognizing business and government expenditures for software, including own-account production of software, as investment, treating government employee retirement plans similarly to private pension plans, and improving the NIPA estimates of the real value of unpriced bank services in the banking industries. Articles discussing these revisions are available on BEA's Web site www.bea.gov.

In general, the revisions to GSP as a percentage of the previously published estimates for all years are small, with the largest revisions occurring in the most recent years. For the nation, current-dollar GSP was revised up $86.4 billion in 1996, and revised up $137 billion in 1997. In 1997, the five states with the largest upward revisions were Rhode Island (4.9 percent), Alaska (4.2 percent), New Jersey (3.2 percent), Colorado (2.8 percent), and Michigan (2.8 percent).

The revisions in real GSP growth rates tend to be small, with the largest revisions also in the most recent years. Most of the states with the largest revisions in growth rates tend to have the largest current-dollar revisions. In 1996–97, the five states with the largest revisions in real GSP growth rates were Rhode Island (3.4 percentage points), Delaware (2.2 percentage points), Colorado (2.1 percentage points), Minnesota (2.0 percentage points), and Florida (1.6 percentage points). For a detailed discussion of major sources of the revisions and of the impacts of the revisions, see "Gross State Product by Industry, 1977–98" in a forthcoming issue of the Survey of Current Business.

Industry classification

In 1997, U.S. federal statistical agencies adopted a new industry classification system called the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) — an economic classification system that groups establishments into industries based on similarity of production processes. NAICS provides a new framework for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating economic data on an industry basis. Much of BEA's source data, however, remain on a Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) basis. BEA plans to incorporate NAICS into its GSP estimates upon full implementation of NAICS by all of its source-data agencies in 2003–04.

Definitions

GSP is the value added in production by the labor and property located in a state. GSP for a state is derived as the sum of the GSP originating in all industries in the state.

The estimates of real GSP are derived by applying national implicit price deflators by detailed industry to the current-dollar GSP estimates by detailed industry. Then, in order to capture the differences across states that reflect the relative differences in the mix of goods and services that the states produce, the same chain-type index formula used in the national accounts is used to calculate the estimates of total real GSP and real GSP by major industry. For additional information, see "BEA's Chain Indexes, Time Series, and Measures of Long-Term Economic Growth," Survey of Current Business 77 (May 1997): 58–68; and "Comprehensive Revision of Gross State Product by Industry, 1977–94," Survey 77 (June 1997): 28–29.

The relation of GSP to Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

In concept, an industry's GSP, referred to as its "value added," is equivalent to its gross output (sales or receipts and other operating income, commodity taxes, and inventory change) minus its intermediate inputs (consumption of goods and services purchased from other U.S. industries or imported). Thus, GSP is often considered the state counterpart of the nation's GDP — BEA's featured measure of U.S. output. In practice, GSP estimates are measured as the sum of the distributions by industry and state of the components of gross domestic income — that is, the sum of the costs incurred and incomes earned in the production of GDP.

GSP for the nation differs from GDP for the following reasons: GSP is derived from gross domestic income, which differs from GDP by the statistical discrepancy; GSP excludes and GDP includes the compensation of federal civilian and military personnel stationed abroad and government consumption of fixed capital for military structures located abroad and for military equipment, except office equipment; and GSP and GDP have different revision schedules. In 1992–98, real GDP increased 3.6 percent per year, and U.S. real GSP increased 3.9 percent per year.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: Chained (1996) dollar series are calculated (using national chain-type implicit price deflators) as the product of the chain-type quantity index and the 1996 current-dollar value of the corresponding series, divided by 100. Because the formula for the chain-type quantity indexes uses weights of more than one period, the corresponding chained-dollar estimates are usually not additive; that is, state totals usually do not add to regional totals or to U.S. totals, and regional totals usually do not add to U.S. totals.
