Q3 GDP: Good News in the
Headline but Bad News in
       the Details

Q3 Real GDP Growth at 2.0 Percent




 The advance estimate of US real
  GDP growth for Q3 2012 showed
  real output increasing at an annual
  rate of 2.0%
 That was a small improvement over
  the 1.3 percent reported earlier for
  Q2 and the same as the growth rate
  for Q1 2012




           Posted Oct. 28, 2012 on Ed Dolan’s Econ Blog http://dolanecon.blogspot.com
Expansion Continues

 Q3 2012 was the 13th consecutive quarter
  of GDP growth
 According to standard business cycle
  terminology, the recession phase of the
  business cycle is the downward
  movement of GDP from its previous peak
 The recovery phase is the upward
  movement from the trough (low point) of
  the recession and continues until GDP
  again reaches its previous peak.
 Once GDP moves above its previous
  peak, the expansion phase begins.
 Q3 2012 GDP was well above pre-
  recession peak, continuing the expansion
  that the economy entered in Q3 2011

           Posted Oct. 28, 2012 on Ed Dolan’s Econ Blog http://dolanecon.blogspot.com
Sources of US GDP Growth in Q3 2012
 Consumption contributed 1.42 percentage
  points to Q3 growth                                     Table shows the contribution
                                                          of each sector to the 2.0% total
 Investment contributed just .07 percentage              GDP growth in Q3 2012
  points to growth. Fixed investment was
  weak and almost fully offset by a drought-
  driven decrease in farm inventories
 Exports fell for the first time since 2009.
  Imports, which enter the accounts with the
  sign reversed, also decrease. Net exports
  subtracted 0.18 percentage points from
  GDP growth.
 Government spending reversed a string of
  decreases, fueled largely by a jump in
  defense spending

          Posted Oct. 28, 2012 on Ed Dolan’s Econ Blog http://dolanecon.blogspot.com
Exports Decrease in Q3


 Exports decreased in Q3 2012 for
  the first time since the end of the
  recession
 Falling exports reflected
  weakness of all of the main U.S.
  trading partners
 The decrease in exports occurred
  despite a 3-percent depreciation
  of the real effective exchange rate
  of the dollar from June to
  September


           Posted Oct. 28, 2012 on Ed Dolan’s Econ Blog http://dolanecon.blogspot.com
Government Contribution to GDP Growth Increases
 Government consumption
  expenditures and gross
  investment made a positive
  contribution to GDP growth for the
  first time since Q1 2010
 This measure of government
  spending includes all levels of
  government but excludes transfer
  payments like social security and
  unemployment benefits
 Almost all the increase was in
  national defense consumption
  spending. State and local
  government added just 0.01
  percentage points to growth
          Posted Oct. 28, 2012 on Ed Dolan’s Econ Blog http://dolanecon.blogspot.com
Growth of NGDP is Back on Track

 Nominal GDP (NGDP) grew at a 5 percent
  annual rate in Q3, up from 2.8 percent in
  Q2
 An increasing number of economists focus
  on NGDP growth as a key policy target
 Long term NGDP growth of 4.5 percent (2
  percent inflation and 2.5 percent real
  growth) would represent typical
  performance for the US economy
 The Fed does not treat NGDP growth as
  an official policy target but lagging NGDP
  growth has been one of several factors
  that have led the Fed to keep monetary
  policy on an expansionary path

US Q3 GDP: Good News in the Headlines but Bad News in the Details

  • 1.

  • 2. Q3 Real GDP Growth at 2.0 Percent  The advance estimate of US real GDP growth for Q3 2012 showed real output increasing at an annual rate of 2.0%  That was a small improvement over the 1.3 percent reported earlier for Q2 and the same as the growth rate for Q1 2012 Posted Oct. 28, 2012 on Ed Dolan’s Econ Blog http://dolanecon.blogspot.com
  • 3. Expansion Continues  Q3 2012 was the 13th consecutive quarter of GDP growth  According to standard business cycle terminology, the recession phase of the business cycle is the downward movement of GDP from its previous peak  The recovery phase is the upward movement from the trough (low point) of the recession and continues until GDP again reaches its previous peak.  Once GDP moves above its previous peak, the expansion phase begins.  Q3 2012 GDP was well above pre- recession peak, continuing the expansion that the economy entered in Q3 2011 Posted Oct. 28, 2012 on Ed Dolan’s Econ Blog http://dolanecon.blogspot.com
  • 4. Sources of US GDP Growth in Q3 2012  Consumption contributed 1.42 percentage points to Q3 growth Table shows the contribution of each sector to the 2.0% total  Investment contributed just .07 percentage GDP growth in Q3 2012 points to growth. Fixed investment was weak and almost fully offset by a drought- driven decrease in farm inventories  Exports fell for the first time since 2009. Imports, which enter the accounts with the sign reversed, also decrease. Net exports subtracted 0.18 percentage points from GDP growth.  Government spending reversed a string of decreases, fueled largely by a jump in defense spending Posted Oct. 28, 2012 on Ed Dolan’s Econ Blog http://dolanecon.blogspot.com
  • 5. Exports Decrease in Q3  Exports decreased in Q3 2012 for the first time since the end of the recession  Falling exports reflected weakness of all of the main U.S. trading partners  The decrease in exports occurred despite a 3-percent depreciation of the real effective exchange rate of the dollar from June to September Posted Oct. 28, 2012 on Ed Dolan’s Econ Blog http://dolanecon.blogspot.com
  • 6. Government Contribution to GDP Growth Increases  Government consumption expenditures and gross investment made a positive contribution to GDP growth for the first time since Q1 2010  This measure of government spending includes all levels of government but excludes transfer payments like social security and unemployment benefits  Almost all the increase was in national defense consumption spending. State and local government added just 0.01 percentage points to growth Posted Oct. 28, 2012 on Ed Dolan’s Econ Blog http://dolanecon.blogspot.com
  • 7. Growth of NGDP is Back on Track  Nominal GDP (NGDP) grew at a 5 percent annual rate in Q3, up from 2.8 percent in Q2  An increasing number of economists focus on NGDP growth as a key policy target  Long term NGDP growth of 4.5 percent (2 percent inflation and 2.5 percent real growth) would represent typical performance for the US economy  The Fed does not treat NGDP growth as an official policy target but lagging NGDP growth has been one of several factors that have led the Fed to keep monetary policy on an expansionary path Posted Oct. 28, 2012 on Ed Dolan’s Econ Blog http://dolanecon.blogspot.com
