Index to the NIPA tables

Survey of Current Business, Oct, 2001

THE ENTRIES in this index refer to the table numbers in the full 148-table set of the national income and product accounts (NIPA's). The 61 "Selected NIPA Tables" that are published each month in the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS are identified by bold italic type.

The first character of the NIPA table number (the letter S or the number preceding the decimal point) identifies the table as one of the two summary tables (S.1 and S.2) or as belonging to one of nine other categories:

1. National Product and Income

2. Personal Income and Outlays

3. Government Current Receipts and Expenditures

4. Foreign Transactions

5. Saving and Investment

6. Income and Employment by Industry

7. Quantity and Price Indexes

8. Supplemental Tables

9. Seasonally Unadjusted Estimates

For the NIPA tables in category 6, which show industry distributions of national income, of its components, and of employment, a suffix is used to represent the year of the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) underlying the estimates. Estimates for 1929-48, based on the 1942 SIC, are shown in tables designated with an "A" suffix; estimates for 1948-87, based on the 1972 SIC, are shown in tables with a "B" suffix; and estimates for 1987 forward, based on the 1987 SIC, are shown in tables with a "C" suffix. For the NIPA tables showing private inventories and related series (tables 5.10A, 5.10B, 5.11A, 5.11B, 5.12A, 5.12B, 5.13A, 5.13B, 7.16A, and 7.16B), a suffix is used to represent the industry classification system underlying the estimates. Estimates for 1997 and earlier, based on the SIC, are shown in tables designated with an "A" suffix; estimates for 1997 forward, based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), are shown in tables with a "B" suffix. For NIPA tables 1.2, 3.18, 4.5, 7.18, 8.8, and 8.9, letter suffixes are used to indicate that the NIPA estimates are presented differently for different spans of time.
