6 Annual Revision of the National Income and Product Accounts: Annual Estimates, 1993–96, and Quarterly Estimates, 1993:I-1997:I (PDF)
The revised NIPA estimates show about the same picture of overall U.S. economic activity as was shown by the previously published estimates. Over the period covered by the revisions, the growth rate of real GDP was revised up 0.1 percentage point to 2.8 percent, and the increase in the price of gross domestic purchases was unrevised at 2.3 percent. In addition to the incorporation of regular source data, this annual revision incorporates several methodological changes, including the changes in methodology that were introduced in the recent annual revision of the balance of payments accounts and a change in the weights used to compute real output and prices for recent periods.
Real GDP increased 2.2 percent in the second quarter of 1997 after increasing 4.9 percent in the first quarter; the deceleration was more than accounted for by slowdowns in personal consumption expenditures and inventory investment. The price index for gross domestic purchases increased 0.6 percent in the second quarter after increasing 1.9 percent in the first; the deceleration largely reflected a sharp downturn in energy prices.

Personal income in the Nation increased 1.7 percent in the first quarter of 1997—the largest quarterly increase since the first quarter of 1995—after increasing 1.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 1996. In all States except Delaware, the increases in personal income exceeded the 0.6-percent increase in the prices paid by U.S. consumers. Utah, Nevada, Oregon, and Kentucky had the fastest growth in personal income in the first quarter.
