                 GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT:  SECOND QUARTER 2006 (PRELIMINARY)
                   CORPORATE PROFITS:  SECOND QUARTER 2006 (PRELIMINARY)   

	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 2.9 percent in the second quarter of 2006, 
according to preliminary estimates released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis.  In the first quarter, 
real GDP increased 5.6 percent. 

	The GDP estimates released today are based on more complete source data than were available for 
the advance estimates issued last month.  In the advance estimates, the increase in real GDP was 2.5 
percent (see "Revisions" on page 3).

	The increase in real GDP in the second quarter primarily reflected positive contributions from  
personal consumption expenditures (PCE) for services, private inventory investment, nonresidential 
structures, exports, and state and local government spending that were partly offset by negative 
contributions from residential fixed investment and federal government spending.  Imports, which are a 
subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.

	The deceleration in real GDP growth in the second quarter primarily reflected a deceleration in 
PCE for durable goods, downturns in equipment and software and in federal government spending, 
decelerations in exports and in PCE for nondurable goods, and a larger decrease in residential fixed 
investment that were partly offset by a deceleration in imports, an acceleration in PCE for services, and 
an upturn in private inventory investment. 

	Final sales of computers contributed 0.05 percentage point to the second-quarter growth in real 
GDP after contributing 0.07 percentage point to the first-quarter growth.  Motor vehicle output 
subtracted 0.28 percentage point from the second-quarter growth in real GDP after contributing 0.12 
percentage point to the first-quarter growth.  



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 are annualized.  "Real" estimates are in chained (2000)
dollars.  Prices indexes are chain-type measures.

                     This news release is available on BEA's Web site at www.bea.gov/bea/rels.htm.


	The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents, 
increased 4.0 percent in the second quarter, the same as in the advance estimate; this index increased  
2.7 percent in the first quarter.  Excluding food and energy prices, the price index for gross domestic 
purchases increased 2.9 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 3.0 percent in the 
first.  

	Real personal consumption expenditures increased 2.6 percent in the second quarter, compared 
with an increase of 4.8 percent in the first.  Real nonresidential fixed investment increased 4.7 percent, 
compared with an increase of 13.7 percent.  Nonresidential structures increased 22.2 percent, compared 
with an increase of 8.7 percent.  Equipment and software decreased 1.6 percent, in contrast to an 
increase of 15.6 percent.  Real residential fixed investment decreased 9.8 percent, compared with a 
decrease of 0.3 percent.

	Real exports of goods and services increased 5.1 percent in the second quarter, compared with an 
increase of 14.0 percent in the first.  Real imports of goods and services increased 0.6 percent, compared 
with an increase of 9.1 percent.

	Real federal government consumption expenditures and gross investment decreased 4.3 percent in 
the second quarter, in contrast to an increase of 8.8 percent in the first.  National defense decreased 1.8 
percent, in contrast to an increase of 8.9 percent.  Nondefense decreased 9.3 percent, in contrast to an 
increase of 8.5 percent.  Real state and local government consumption expenditures and gross 
investment increased 4.2 percent, compared with an increase of 2.7 percent.

	The real change in private inventories added 0.63 percentage point to the second-quarter change in 
real GDP, after subtracting 0.03 percentage point from the first-quarter change.  Private businesses 
increased inventories $58.7 billion in the second quarter, following increases of $41.2 billion in the first 
quarter and $43.5 billion in the fourth.

	Real final sales of domestic product -- GDP less change in private inventories -- increased 2.3 
percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 5.6 percent in the first.


Gross domestic purchases

	Real gross domestic purchases -- purchases by U.S. residents of goods and services wherever 
produced -- increased 2.3 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 5.3 percent in the 
first. 


Gross national product

	Real gross national product -- the goods and services produced by the labor and property supplied 
by U.S. residents -- increased 2.6 percent in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 6.1 
percent in the first.  GNP includes, and GDP excludes, net receipts of income from the rest of the world, 
which decreased $8.6 billion in the second quarter after increasing $14.4 billion in the first; in the 
second quarter, receipts increased $38.7 billion, and payments increased $47.3 billion.


Current-dollar GDP

	Current-dollar GDP -- the market value of the nation's output of goods and services -- increased 
6.3 percent, or $201.3 billion, in the second quarter to a level of $13,209.7 billion.  In the first quarter, 
current-dollar GDP increased 9.0 percent, or $277.9 billion.


Revisions

	The preliminary estimate of the second-quarter increase in real GDP is 0.4 percentage point, or 
$12.3 billion, more than the advance estimate issued last month.  The upward revision to the percentage 
change in real GDP primarily reflected upward revisions to exports of goods, to nonresidential 
structures, to private inventory investment, and to state and local government spending that were partly 
offset by a downward revision to residential fixed investment.

                                    Corporate Profits

	Profits from current production (corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital 
consumption adjustments) increased $49.5 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 
$175.6 billion in the first quarter.  Current-production cash flow (net cash flow with inventory valuation 
and capital consumption adjustments) -- the internal funds available to corporations for investment -- 
increased $16.7 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of $125.3 billion in the first.

	Taxes on corporate income increased $26.5 billion in the second quarter, compared with an 
increase of $32.3 billion in the first.  Profits after tax with inventory valuation and capital consumption 
adjustments increased $23.1 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of $143.2 billion in 
the first.  Dividends increased $15.4 billion, compared with an increase of $14.7 billion; current-
production undistributed profits increased $7.6 billion, compared with an increase of $128.5 billion.

	Domestic profits of financial corporations increased $34.7 billion in the second quarter, compared 
with an increase of $51.4 billion in the first.  Domestic profits of nonfinancial corporations increased 
$5.6 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of $94.5 billion in the first.  In the second 
quarter, real gross nonfinancial corporate value added increased, and profits per unit of real value added 
decreased.  The decrease in unit profits reflected an increase in unit prices that was more than offset by 
an increase in unit labor costs; unit nonlabor costs were unchanged.

	The rest-of-the-world component of profits increased $9.1 billion in the second quarter, compared 
with an increase of $29.8 billion in the first.  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 second-quarter increase was 
accounted for by a larger increase in receipts than in payments.

	Profits before tax increased $91.8 billion in the second quarter, compared with an increase of 
$142.3 billion in the first.  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 of fixed assets and inventory withdrawals reported on a tax-return, historical-cost 
basis to the current-cost measures used in the national income and product accounts.  The capital 
consumption adjustment decreased $8.4 billion in the second quarter (from -$148.6 billion to -$157.0 
billion), in contrast to an increase of $17.0 billion in the first.  The inventory valuation adjustment 
decreased $33.9 billion (from -$22.9 billion to -$56.8 billion), in contrast to an increase of $16.3 billion.

  Note.--Users are cautioned that particularly for components that
exhibit rapid change in prices relative to other prices in the
economy, the chained-dollar estimates should not be used to measure
the component's relative importance or its contribution to the
growth rate of more aggregate series.  For accurate estimates of
the contributions to percent changes in real GDP, use table 2.

  1. This index is a supplemental measure that is based on household
expenditures for which there are observable price measures.  It
excludes most implicit prices (for example, the services furnished
without payment by financial intermediaries) and the expenses of
nonprofit institutions.  Percentage changes for these series are
included in the addenda to table 8 and in appendix table A.
  See "Explanatory Note" at the end of the tables.

  r Revised.  Revisions include changes to series affected by the
introduction of revised wage and salary estimates for the first
quarter of 2006.
  1. The current-dollar gross value added is deflated using the
gross value added chain-type price index for nonfinancial industries
from the GDP-by-industry accounts.  For periods when this price index
is not available, the chain-type price index for GDP goods and
structures is used.
  2. Chained-dollar consumption of fixed capital of nonfinancial
corporate business is calculated as the product of the chain-type
quantity index and the 2000 current-dollar value of the corresponding
series, divided by 100.
  3. Chained-dollar net value added of nonfinancial corporate
business is the difference between the gross value added and the
consumption of fixed capital.
  4. The deflator for gross value added of nonfinancial corporate
business divided by 100.

  r Revised
  1. Some components of final sales of computers include
computer parts.
  2. Farm output less intermediate goods and services purchased.
  3. Consists of GDP less gross value added of farm, of
households and institutions, and of general government.
  4. This index is a supplemental measure that is based on household
expenditures for which there are observable price measures.  It
excludes most implicit prices (for example, the services furnished
without payment by financial intermediaries) and the expenses of
nonprofit institutions.

     Explanatory Note: NIPA Measures of Quantities and Prices


     Current-dollar GDP is a measure of the market value of goods, services, and structures produced in
the economy in a particular period.  Changes in current-dollar GDP 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 2000 -- equal to 100. 

     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 2004-05
annual percent change in real GDP uses prices for 2004 and 2005 as weights, and the 2004-05 annual
percent change in GDP prices uses quantities for 2004 and 2005 as weights.  These annual changes are
"chained" (multiplied) together to form time series of quantity and price indexes.  Percent changes in
Fisher indexes are not affected by the choice of reference year.  (BEA also publishes a measure of the
price level known as the implicit price deflator (IPD), which is calculated as the ratio of the
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.)

     Index numbers of quantity and price indexes for GDP and its major components are presented in this
release in tables 5 and 6.  Percent changes from the preceding period are presented in tables 1, 4, 7, and 8.
Contributions by major components to changes in real GDP are presented in table 2.  

     Measures of real GDP and its major components are also presented in dollar-denominated form,
designated "chained (2000) dollar estimates."  For most series, these estimates, which are presented in
table 3, are computed by multiplying the current-dollar value in 2000 by a corresponding quantity index
number and then dividing by 100.  For example, if a current-dollar GDP component equaled $100 in
2000 and if real output for this component increased 10 percent in 2001, then the chained (2000) dollar
value of this component in 2001 would be $110 (= $100 x 110 / 100).  Percent changes calculated from
chained-dollar estimates and from chain-type quantity indexes are the same; any differences will be small
and due to rounding.  

     Chained-dollar values for the detailed GDP components will not necessarily sum to the chained-dollar
estimate of GDP (or to any intermediate aggregate).  This is because the relative prices used as weights
for any period other than the reference year differ from those of the reference year. A measure of the
extent of such differences is provided by a "residual" line, which indicates the difference between GDP
(or other 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, the residuals tend to be small, and the chained-dollar estimates can be used to approximate the
contributions to growth and to aggregate the detailed estimates.  For periods further from the reference
year, the residuals tend to be larger, and the chained-dollar estimates are 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.
