1. Using BEA`s Gross State Product (GSP) Estimates George K. Downey Understanding Regional Economic Data for Policy and Planning—Dallas, Texas September 8, 2006

2. www.bea.gov 2 Understanding the Texas Economy  How big is the Texas economy?  How much does Texas contribute to real U.S. Production?  How productive is the Texas economy, and how does it compare to other states?  What industries or products drives growth in Texas?  How much do these (basic) industries contribute to overall real growth in the state?  Which states are Texas’ competition for the production of these goods and services?  Are Texas’ industries labor or capital intensive, and how has this relationship changed over time?

3. www.bea.gov 3 What Is GSP?  GSP is the state counterpart of gross domestic product (GDP) for the nation  GSP measures the value added to U.S. production by the labor and capital in each state  Value added is defined as gross output (sales or receipts) less intermediate inputs (goods and services purchased in the production process)  Value added can also be measured as the incomes earned by capital and labor plus taxes on production and imports

4. www.bea.gov 4 Why is GSP Important?  Since GSP measures the value of all of the goods and services produced in the state it provides the most comprehensive measure of state production  Consistent with the concepts and methods used to produce GDP, the national income and product accounts (NIPAs), and the GDP-by-industry accounts  One series in the Regional Income and Product Accounts which are used to distribute $215 billion in federal funds  Used for tax analysis and projections, state budget forecasting, and regional policy planning

5. www.bea.gov 5 The GSP Series  Current-dollar GSP  Compensation of employees  Wages and salaries and their supplements  Taxes on production and imports less subsidies  Sales taxes, property taxes, and federal excise taxes  Gross operating surplus  Proprietors’ income  Corporate income: Corporate profits, net business interest, business transfer payments, consumption of fixed capital, and nontax payments

6. www.bea.gov 6 The GSP Series  Real GSP is an inflation-adjusted measure of a state’s gross product  Derived by applying national chain-type price indexes by industry to the current-dollar GSP estimates  Caveat: If regional prices differ significantly from national prices, changes in real GSP may not accurately represent real state growth  Research is underway to produce regional price indices  Accelerated GSP  Total GSP, available 6-months after the calendar year (current dollars and real)  Industry sectors, available 10-months after the calendar year (current dollars and real)  Extrapolated using BEA’s earnings by industry

12. www.bea.gov 12 How Can GSP Be Used?  To analyze a state’s economy over time  Use Real (inflation-adjusted) GSP  Don’t use current-dollar GSP because change from year-to-year will include quantity change as well as price change  To analyze a state’s economy in a given year  Use Current-dollar GSP and/or components  Don’t use Real GSP because real GSP is not additive, except in the base year

14. www.bea.gov 14 Using Real GSP  In the Survey of Current Business (July, 2006), we publish a table in the GSP article (Table 2) titled “Contributions to Percent Change in Real GSP”  From 2003 to 2004, Texas Real GSP growth was 5.1%  The largest contributors to Texas’ growth were:  Manufacturing (durable- and nondurable-goods): 2.13 percentage points  Professional and business services: 0.91 percentage point  (2.13 + 0.91) / 5.1 = 0.596  These two sectors accounted for nearly 60% of Texas’ economic growth
