State Personal Income, Revised Estimates for 1997-99.

Newman, Jeffrey L.

REVISED ESTIMATES of State personal income for 1997-99 were released by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) on September 12, 2000. These estimates incorporate the annual revision of the national income and product accounts (NIPA's) that was released on August 1, 2000, and newly available State source data that are more complete, more detailed, and otherwise more appropriate than those that were previously available.(1) In addition, revised estimates for 1929-68 were released, marking the completion of the comprehensive revision of State personal income. The release of these estimates represents a significant acceleration in the availability of State estimates of personal income that are consistent with the comprehensive revision of the NIPA estimates for 1929-99: The comprehensive revision of the State estimates for the entire time series is available just 5 months after the completion of the NIPA comprehensive revision--over a year sooner than previous comprehensive revisions.

This report summarizes the sources of the revisions and the effects of the revisions on the estimates. For the availability of the revised estimates for 1997-99 that are more detailed than those in tables 1 and 2 at the end of this article and of the revised estimates for 1929-68, see the box "Data Availability."

(r) Revised.

(1.) Percent change was calculated from unrounded data.

NOTE.--The personal income level shown for the United Sates is derived as the sum of the State estimates. It differs from the estimate of personal income in the national income and product accounts (NIPA's) because of differences in coverage, in the methodologies used to prepare the estimates, and in the timing of the availability of source data. In particular, it differs from the NIPA estimate because, by definition, it omits the earnings of Federal civilian and military personnel stationed abroad and of U.S. residents employed abroad temporarily by private U.S. firms.

(1.) Percent change was calculated from unrounded data.

NOTE.--The personal income level shown for the United Sates is derived as the sum of the State estimates. It differs from the estimate of personal income in the national income and product accounts (NIPA's) because of differences in coverage, in the methodologies used to prepare the estimates, and in the timing of the availability of source data. In particular, it differs from the NIPA estimate because, by definition, it omits the earnings of Federal civilian and military personnel stationed abroad and of U.S. residents employed abroad temporarily by private U.S. firms.

Sources of the revisions

Many of the revisions to the national estimates of personal income involve detailed estimation that cannot be replicated at the State level, because the underlying source data are not available for States; these revisions are implicitly incorporated into the State estimates through the use of the national estimates as control totals. In addition, the revisions to the State estimates reflect the incorporation of newly available State-level source data.

For wage and salary disbursements, other labor income, and personal contributions for social insurance, the estimates for 1999 incorporate newly available Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) tabulations of wages and salaries of employees covered by State unemployment insurance (UI) for the fourth quarter of 1999 and revised tabulations for the first three quarters. Previously, the estimates for 1999 were based on preliminary UI data for the first three quarters and extrapolations for the fourth quarter that were based on data from BLS's monthly current employment survey.

For farm proprietors' income, the estimates for 1997-98 incorporate revised national and State estimates of farm income from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The estimates for 1999 incorporate new USDA estimates of farm expenses and revised estimates of production income.

For dividends, interest, and rent, the estimates for 1998 incorporate newly available Internal Revenue Service (IRS) tabulations of individual tax returns for 1998, and the estimates for 1999 are based on extrapolations of these tabulations. Previously, the 1998 and 1999 estimates were based on extrapolations of tabulations for 1997.

For transfer payments, the estimates for 1999 incorporate newly available data from agencies that administer benefit programs, such as data from the Social Security Administration on the benefits disbursed under the social security retirement and supplemental security income programs and data from the Health Care Financing Administration on the benefits disbursed under the medicare and medicaid programs. Previously, the estimates of these benefits and of most other subcomponents of transfer payments for 1999 were based on extrapolations of 1998 data; data for 1999 were only available for unemployment compensation.

Revisions

The effects of the revisions to the national totals of the components of personal income differ for the individual State estimates because the structure of each State's economy differs.

Personal income for the Nation was revised down 0.2 percent for 1997 and was revised up 0.4 percent for 1998 and 0.1 percent for 1999 (table A). The downward revision to personal income for 1997 was accounted for by a downward revision to other labor income. The upward revisions for 1998 and 1999 were attributable to upward revisions to dividends, interest, and rent that more than offset downward revisions to other labor income.

(1.) Revision as a percentage of the previously published estimate; calculated from unrounded data.

By State, 41 States have downward revisions to personal income for 1997, 38 States and the District of Columbia have upward revisions for 1998, and 26 States and the District of Columbia have upward revisions for 1999.

For 1999, the revisions for the District of Columbia, Nevada, and Idaho differed by more than 2.0 percentage points from the revision for the Nation. For the District of Columbia, an upward revision to dividends, interest, and rent contributed to an upward revision to personal income of 4.3 percent. For Nevada, upward revisions to dividends, interest, and rent and to nonfarm proprietors' income contributed to an upward revision of 2.2 percent. For Idaho, downward revisions to dividends, interest, and rent and to farm proprietors' income contributed to a downward revision of 2.6 percent.

Tables 1 and 2 follow.

Data Availability

This report presents a summary of the estimates of personal income, per capita personal income, disposable personal income, and per capita disposable personal income for 1997-99.

The detailed State estimates will be available in November on the CD-ROM State Personal Income, 1929-99 (price $35, product number RCN-0268). Availability will be announced on the inside back cover of the SURVEY.

The revised estimates of detailed earnings by industry for 1997-98 are available on BEA's Web site; go to <www.bea.doc.gov/bea/regional/spi>. Summary statistics and other selected tables for 1999 are also available. The earnings detail for 1999 will be provided later this fall when the source data become available.
